Chapter 53
Chapter 52 – Many Years Ago [Second Update]
Li Wanqiu said yesterday that it was quite warm here, but it suddenly started raining the next morning.
Just after breakfast, Xiao Wu from the sales department came over and shared an umbrella with each other, and complained to everyone by the way.
“Hey, that’s how it is here.” Xiao Zhang on the side answered, “I told you not to look at the weather forecast, and told you to bring more clothes.”
“Hey!” Xiao Wu glanced at him. He was still a little shivering because he just came back from the outside, but now he heard his ridicule and immediately raised his back, “I’m cold ass, is this weather called cold?”
“I’m not like you,” he said, “I rely on my integrity!”
As soon as the words fell, everyone was amused by him and laughed out loud.
Breakfast was spent amidst such laughter. Someone had already gone to the exhibition hall to prepare the furnishings yesterday. Now they can just go there on time. Country A is famous for its wine culture. Naturally, this wine exhibition is also held in a grand manner. Come and participate in the exhibition There are many people.
Bixia is already a leader in the wine industry in China. Over the years, it has repeatedly produced fine wines. It has won numerous awards and is also well-known internationally.
Li Wanqiu just sat down and saw many traders coming to communicate. Xiao Wu and Xiao Zhang, who were still whispering at each other, quickly stood up to promote the winery.
There are many details in the words that Li Wanqiu has known before, and there are many that she doesn’t know. The more Li Wanqiu listens, the more surprised she is, and the more she realizes how difficult Ji Jinyan has been all these years.
But fortunately, now that it has been brewed, Bixia’s wine has been liked by many, many people.
Thinking of this, Li Wanqiu subconsciously cast her eyes around, but she didn’t see Ji Jinyan’s figure. This trip to Country A had other matters to deal with besides the wine fair, so it was reasonable that she wasn’t there.
But Li Wanqiu still wanted to ask her to see the scene, so he simply raised his hand and took some photos for her.
It was during this period that she lost her gaze, and for some reason seemed to suddenly see a familiar person.
To be precise, it is a back view, a girl’s back view, with long hair and slightly curly hair, about the same height as her, standing in the crowd, her black hair is really conspicuous.
Li Wanqiu blinked subconsciously, and continued to follow the woman’s figure through the crowd, but it was obviously too late, and the figure quickly disappeared from her vision.
After a while, the colleagues at the side seemed to notice her strangeness, and then they came up to ask, “What’s the matter, Ah Qiu?”
“It’s nothing.” Li Wanqiu shook her head, looked away and smiled at her, “I’m looking at someone.”
“Who is it?” The man responded with interest, “Are you a friend?”
“I don’t know.” Li Wanqiu said, “…Maybe I misread it.”
“That’s right. After all, there are so many people around.” The colleague nodded upon hearing this, and quickly continued to work on the matter in front of him without asking any more questions.
Before I knew it, it was noon.
The wine exhibition party provided lunch for everyone. After lunch, a group of people had nothing to do and started to chat together again.
The atmosphere in the winery is very good, everyone gets along more like friends, and the content of the chat is also varied. After chatting for a long time, they suddenly started chatting about Ji Jinyan.
According to Xiao Zhang, Mr. Ji seems to have lived in country a for many years before.
Um?
As soon as the words fell, Li Wanqiu raised her eyes subconsciously.
In the past, she only heard Ji Jinyan talk about her old residence in China, but she never thought that she would still leave traces here, and her heart was filled with curiosity.
But at the same time, it was also at this time that she suddenly realized that she still didn’t seem to understand Ji Jinyan that well until now.
Why didn’t she know something that even Xiao Zhang knew?
“Because it’s too early for me to join Bixia.” Before she could open her mouth to ask, Xiao Zhang had already continued to talk down, “Before Mr. Ji took over, he had already worked in the winery, so he knew a lot of things that others didn’t know. thing.”
“Really?” Someone quickly answered the words, with ridicule in his voice, “Isn’t it all made up by you?”
When Xiao Zhang heard this, he was immediately displeased: “Fart.”
“Mr. Ji seems to have been appointed as the successor of the winery a long time ago.” He rolled his eyes at that person, and then continued, “At that time, the old man simply sent her to country A in order to train her. .”
“And then?” Someone asked again.
“Then…” Xiao Zhang paused for a moment, “Then don’t be afraid of suffering or hardship, study hard and work hard.”
This is the so-called self-knowledge of many things.
“What?” As soon as the words fell, everyone burst into laughter, and began to laugh at Xiao Zhang in front of them one after another.
“Damn!” Xiao Zhang roared angrily, and he couldn’t help laughing along with him for a long time. After a while of silence, he suddenly thought of something, and then started another topic again.
This page has obviously turned over, and everyone is listening to new stories.
Only Li Wanqiu, she didn’t know what expression she had now, she could hear what everyone was talking about, but her thoughts were still stuck in just now.
Ji Jinyan’s mind is full of things.
Time passed quickly, and it was time for the end of the wine show.
Li Wanqiu quickly packed her small bag, and walked out of the exhibition hall with her colleagues. Before she could take a few steps forward, her phone rang suddenly.
Looking down, it was a message from Ji Jinyan, with only three words on it: “Look up.”
Seeing this, Li Wanqiu hurriedly looked forward, and soon found Ji Jinyan next to a sculpture.
In the next second, the phone rang again: “Did you find me?”
Li Wanqiu hurriedly typed a few words, inexplicably proud: “I found it.”
“It’s awesome.” Ji Jinyan said, “I invite you to dinner.”
Li Wanqiu laughed and typed two words: “Okay.”
“I suddenly remembered that I didn’t take some things.” Then she turned and said to the colleague beside her, “Go back to the hotel first, I’ll go back and get it.”
“Do you want me to accompany you?” The colleague asked quickly.
“No, thank you.” Li Wanqiu waved her hand quickly.
“Okay then.” The colleague nodded, and said kindly, “Come back early.”
Li Wanqiu smiled and responded to her: “Understood.”
After finishing speaking, he raised his eyes to see everyone drifting away in the field of vision, and finally turned around after a while, and walked quickly to Ji Jinyan.
“Is it cold?” The rain has stopped now, but the temperature difference is still a bit big, Ji Jinyan raised his hand and put a can of hot milk into her palm, and said softly, “Warm it up.”
“What would you like to eat tonight?” she asked again later.
Li Wanqiu thought about it, and then said: “It’s all fine.”
His tone sounded like he was a little tired. After a busy day, he was inevitably a little tired.
So Ji Jinyan finally took her to eat Chinese food.
This shop is doing well. It was originally opened by a Chinese, and the taste is natural and authentic. Li Wanqiu drank the small bowl of soup in his hand with lowered eyes, feeling that his whole body and mind seemed to have been redeemed.
“Are you full?” Ji Jinyan asked with a smile.
Li Wanqiu nodded: “I’m full.”
“Go back?” Ji Jinyan asked again, “I still want to go around.”
Hearing the words turn around, Li Wanqiu raised her head subconsciously.
Until just now, she was still thinking about what she heard at noon, and she had been thinking about some things in her heart, but now she suddenly heard Ji Jinyan ask, and she couldn’t hide it for some reason.
So she blinked, and finally said a few words: “Turn around.”
“Ji Jinyan.” She called her name, her voice was very soft, “I heard Brother Zhang say that you lived here before at noon, is it true?”
As soon as the words fell, Ji Jinyan was stunned for a moment, and she nodded after a while: “Indeed.”
It turned out to be.
Ji Jinyan is a low-key person, rarely talks about her family affairs, and there are very few related records and information on the Internet. Most of them talk about how successful she is, and few people take the initiative to explore her pre-success.
Li Wanqiu felt curious and always wanted to know more about her, so she said, “That’s it.”
“Is it far from here?” she asked afterward.
Ji Jinyan smiled: “It’s not far, but very close.”
Li Wanqiu paused for half a second when she heard the words, and suddenly felt a little moved: “Can I go and have a look?”
After finishing speaking, Ji Jinyan seemed to be silent for a while.
Li Wanqiu looked up into her eyes, feeling that she might be a little bit reluctant, and suddenly there was a thump in his heart, and he quickly said: “It doesn’t matter if you don’t go, I just said it casually…”
Before he finished speaking, Ji Jinyan suddenly opened his lips and responded to her: “Okay.”
Li Wanqiu froze for a moment: “Huh?”
“I said yes.” In the next second, Ji Jinyan’s voice sounded again, “If you want to see it, I am willing to take you there.”
Ji Jinyan was right, the car only drove for about a quarter of an hour and arrived at the destination very quickly.
It was a very beautiful property, Ji Jinyan took Li Wanqiu’s hand, took out the key and opened the door.
Li Wanqiu lowered her eyes to look, and suddenly found that the key looked quite familiar, and Ji Jinyan seemed to keep it with her all the time.
The door opened, and the whole picture of the room was quickly seen by the people outside the door.
It is a very warm room, Li Wanqiu looked around and saw that everything in the room was neatly arranged, beige walls, clean glass, wide and beautiful sofa, and soft carpets spread from underfoot.
It still looks like someone is living there, and there is a breath of life everywhere.
Li Wanqiu glanced at it, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a photo in a beautiful frame on the side of the table. The photo showed a man and a woman. The man was handsome, the woman was beautiful, and the clothes were generous and decent. They seemed to be a good match.
Ji Jinyan looks a lot like them.
“Are these uncles and aunts?” Li Wanqiu quickly laughed and walked closer to look at the photo.
“Yes.” Ji Jinyan nodded in response.
“That’s great.” Li Wanqiu said, “They must look very affectionate.”
Ji Jinyan said again: “Yes.”
Li Wanqiu has always yearned for such a warm family, and said sincerely: “When can I meet them?”
After finishing speaking, Ji Jinyan behind him seemed to pause for half a second before saying, “I’m afraid it’s not possible.”
“They have already passed away one after another.” Then she said, her voice was mixed with the traffic outside, very soft, which made people sound a little distressed, “…many, many years ago.”
