After seeing off the last batch of guests, Qin Qu breathed a sigh of relief.
But he couldn't rest yet, after all, there was still a big shot in the private interview room on the third floor.
After closing the door, Qin Qu personally went to the wine cellar and took out a bottle of famous wine from the Qin family's private collection, and then asked the head chef of the kitchen to personally cook several delicious snacks.
While waiting, the wine has been processed at low temperature.
Finally, Qin Qu personally carried the plate to the third floor.
Before entering the house, I heard a few small voices outside the door, thinking that people inside were chatting happily.
After knocking on the door, Qin Yi came to open the door in person. When she saw Qin Qu, she asked quietly: "Is it the bottle at the end?"
Qin Qu smiled slightly: "Yes, according to your instructions, it has been specially treated with low temperature."
Qin Yi nodded with satisfaction, then stretched out her hand to take the plate and said, "Okay, give it to me, you go and have a rest."
Qin Qu was slightly startled, but soon understood.
"yes."
…
"You two have been chatting for so long, why don't you take a break and have a glass of wine?" Qin Yi took the cup and wine to the inner room.
Xiao Qing and Chu Yunlan looked back, then smiled at each other.
Xiao Qing said: "That's fine."
With that said, they both got up and went to the balcony.
Although the balcony of the interview room on the third floor is not large, it has many precious flowers.
These flowers are rare, and most of them have been genetically modified. They possess relatively primitive but very rare primary intelligence. With the help of this primitive primary intelligence, they will please their owners like pets, although many times, some scientists do not think so.
This kind of flattering is out of wisdom, because they prefer to believe that it is just the tendency/behavior in the flower's own neural memory, just like a sunflower "pleasing" to the sun.
Xiao Qing herself usually likes flowers, but most of the flowers and plants planted in her private flower garden are ordinary flowers and plants native to Gaia, like the ones Qin Yi grows on the balcony, which she doesn't like very much.
Probably because Xiao Qing still hopes that it would be better for people to enjoy the flowers and plants quietly.
After standing on the balcony, Qin Yi also prepared the wine.
Three beauties with their own styles each had a drink, savoring it carefully under the moonlight. The scene was so beautiful and comfortable.
Xiao Qing is not a wine lover, but these wines from the Qin family really suit her taste.
Especially the cup of wine she was tasting now, whose name could not be named and whose elegant taste could not be fully described in words, made her quite fond of it.
But it's just love, not praise.
In contrast, Chu Yunlan has a lot of experience in wine tasting. After all, the Chu family was also a world-famous winemaker back then. However, in recent years, the Chu family's industry has gradually transformed, and "wine" has been slowly removed from the Chu family's label.
That’s all.
But when it comes to wine tasting, Chu Yunlan still has a lot of say.
So after just one sip, Chu Yunlan had a smile on her face. She shook the wine glass and said, "They say that the seven major families have their own characteristics. The weapons of the Han family, the cars of the Bai family, the singers of the Steven family,
The girl from Considante's family... Tsk... But these seem to be quite far away for ordinary people. Only the Qin family's wine is the most familiar to the public... But this glass of wine is very special, at least.
It is completely different from all the wines produced by the Qin family business that I have drunk. I wonder if it is a private wine within the Qin family.
Where’s the winemaker’s personal masterpiece?”
Qin Yi smiled slightly and did not answer.
Xiao Qing was a little curious and said, "Oh? Ms. Chu seems to be very knowledgeable about wine?"
Chu Yunlan smiled gracefully: "Research doesn't count, I'm just a bit greedy and drink a few drinks when I'm tired, so I probably know the names of some wines."
Xiao Qing nodded slightly, then smiled and said: "It's strange to say that I am not usually a good drinker. Even if I am tired, I prefer to sit alone in the garden, but today's wine is very special. Not only does it have a charming aroma, it also
And after drinking it, my body always feels cool and refreshing, as if I was standing in the drizzle."
After hearing this, Qin Yi explained: "That's because there is something special added to this wine. As Ms. Chu said, it is the personal masterpiece of the private winemaker within our Qin family, and although this master has passed away,
It has been more than a hundred years, but the works he left behind are still difficult to be reproduced by Yuehe. The glass of wine we are drinking now is one of the most proud works left by the master, and it is a masterpiece."
Xiao Qing and Chu Yunlan were both shocked when they heard this.
Especially Chu Yunlan, she said in a daze: "Exquisite? Oh my God! I drank such a work of art as ordinary wine! This is too... oh my! I really disrespect the master's work.
"
Xiao Qing was also very surprised, but she didn't express it as exaggeratedly as Chu Yunlan. She just felt that such a wine would be a sip less after one sip, and it would be difficult to reproduce it in the world, which was a pity.
Qin Yi said: "Ms. Chu, you don't have to blame yourself. The master's original intention of brewing wine was for people to drink. It would be a real pity if no one tastes it. What's more, it's you two who are being entertained today. I think master
The spirits in heaven will definitely feel more gratified when they know this."
Xiao Qing smiled slightly, and then said: "Then... in that case, we won't be pretentious. Can you pour me another glass?"
Qin Yi was startled, then smiled quickly and said: "Of course."
But Chu Yunlan still felt it was a pity and refused to drink a second cup.
After a brief rest, Chu Yunlan chatted with Xiao Qing about the recent expansion of charity and public welfare undertakings, and then left.
Although she didn't do any physical work that night, she felt exhausted mentally and physically. Especially when Chu Yunlan came to the door, she was really afraid that this woman would do something crazy.
However, in fact, Chu Yunlan completely lost his identity as the new leader of the annihilationists today. Not only did he not cause any sabotage at the banquet, he also gave Qin Yi extra face, and even had a pleasant conversation with Xiao Qing and others.
Overall, it's a very harmonious situation.
But this harmony also brought great psychological pressure to Qin Yi.
She had been mentally prepared to express her attitude tonight, but judging from the current results, it seemed that no one cared about Qin Yi's decision. Everyone was just invited to attend a very ordinary banquet and then returned home with a full load.
Although the wine cellar has been emptied, Qin Yi is not heartbroken at all. What she is worried about now is that the situation may be more complicated and dangerous than she imagined.
…
Back in the interview room, Xiao Qing had not left yet, and Li Boan, who was "late" before, also came, bringing Zhang Yu and Yingzi with him.
Qin Yi was startled for a moment, then realized that now was the time to talk about business.
After entering the room, Xiao Qing asked directly: "What is your impression of this Chu Yunlan...?"
Qin Yi was stunned by the question, but she was quick to respond.
"I admire her very much."
Xiao Qing smiled and asked again: "Then why do you think she came to this banquet tonight?"
Qin Yi's heart trembled, and she secretly glanced at Li Bo'an and others.
At this time, Mr. Li was drinking by himself, feeling very uncomfortable, while Zhang Yu was accompanying him with a smile on his face. As for Yingzi, she... seemed drunk...
"Huh? Why don't you speak?" Xiao Qing's tone was very calm, but Qin Yi broke into a cold sweat.
She pondered for a long time and decided to muster up the courage to ask back: "Before answering this question, may I ask you a question?"
Xiao Qing smiled. She knew what Qin Yi was going to ask, so she said, "You want to know why I came today?"
Qin Yi was startled. In fact, the question she wanted to ask in her heart was different from what Xiao Qing said. But then she thought about it, did she really know the purpose of Xiao Qing's visit?
If she had known, everything would not have been so peaceful since the dinner.
So she changed her mind and said softly: "Yes, your arrival has brought glory to the Qin family, but as the head of the Qin family, I know that the Qin family's weight among the seven major families at this time is far less than that of the other families.
The six major families...so...I really want to know why you came."
Xiao Qing smiled slightly: "Because, I want you to be a good person."
"Wha... what?" Qin Yi was a little confused. She didn't understand what Xiao Qing meant instantly, or maybe... Xiao Qing's answer... was a little too simple... or even too naive.
Xiao Qing saw Qin Yi's expression and sighed softly: "No doubt, the purpose of my coming here today is as simple as this. I hope that through my attitude, I can promote a harmonious situation for everyone, and let these people feel that there is no dispute.
What's the status of..."
Qin Yi was silent, suddenly feeling a little ashamed, but she still couldn't fully agree with Xiao Qing's actions.
"But...it was Chu Yunlan who drank with you just now."
Xiao Qing was happy. She looked at Qin Yi's serious look and asked, "I know who she is, but who should she be in your heart?"
Qin Yi was shocked when she heard this, and suddenly woke up like an enlightenment.
Xiao Qing put away her smile, walked up to Li Boan, picked up a cup and handed it over.
Li Bo'an poured her a glass of wine consciously, and then continued to drink alone.
Looking at the wine in the cup, Xiao Qing said: "In recent years, we managers have been busy dealing with so-called 'big things', but we have ignored many small things that involve the happiness of ordinary people... Just like this glass of wine
, although not everyone can drink the master's masterpiece, as long as the Qin family continues to strive for excellence in the winemaking industry, ordinary people in the world can drink a glass of assured and comfortable wine when they are tired.
Efforts are not as simple or easy as the Arbiter purging 'disciples' all over the world."
Qin Yi's heart trembled after hearing this. She suddenly felt that she might have thought about things too complicated from the beginning.
And Xiao Qing's "I want you to be a good person" seems like an extremely plain expectation, but in fact it is not that easy to do it.
But Qin Yi had already made a decision in her heart. She smiled and said: "Qin Yi will definitely keep this expectation in mind."
