Chapter 234: Discovered the Truth About the Delicious Wine!
by xennovelThe business license hadn’t been issued yet and the office wasn’t renovated so Jiang Qin felt there was nothing worth celebrating about the company’s establishment. He decided to have a small celebration by inviting everyone to have hotpot in Room 207.
“Do we still have ingredients?” Jiang Qin asked.
Wei Lanlan stood up and rummaged through the fridge sponsored by Zhang Boqing: “There’s only a box of lamb left.”
“Wenhao go out and buy some more.”
“Boss don’t let Old Dong go. Old Dong has been quite tired these past few days. Let Feiyu go instead.”
Su Nai pushed up her glasses and said. She was now one of the top three supervisors with the highest rank so ordering Lu Feiyu around was reasonable and lawful.
However Jiang Qin was a bit surprised thinking to himself this female programmer has actually learned to care about others: “Alright then let Feiyu go. Go quickly and return quickly.”
“Okay boss I guarantee I’ll complete the mission.”
Dong Wenhao was a bit dazed: “I don’t seem to have done anything today. How am I tired?”
Su Nai revealed a mysterious smile: “Old Dong you think too much about the boss’s feelings. If he lets you go you’ll definitely buy some cheap stuff to save money and flatter him. Feiyu is different. He’s honest. When it comes to public funds for eating and drinking he really dares to splurge.”
“?????”
Dong Wenhao looked at her deeply: “Sister Su Nai you seem to have unknowingly taken on the shape of the boss.”
“Like hell I have his shape!” Su Nai looked disdainful.
“What are you talking about?”
“It’s nothing boss.”
Jiang Qin gave Su Nai a strange look then took out his phone to call Feng Nanshu inviting the silly little devil to come eat hotpot.
Since this was a celebration for the establishment of the new company of course the boss’s wife had to be there. Although Jiang Qin didn’t say it out loud in his heart he still hoped the little rich girl wouldn’t miss any important moments.
Besides don’t look down on her for usually humming and hawing only knowing how to slip away. She didn’t participate in 208’s business but her actual popularity was higher than his own as the boss.
After a while the sound of small leather shoes echoed in the empty corridor.
Feng Nanshu entered 208 in a daze. Seeing no one there she came to 207. She had a cold aloof goddess expression the whole way but the moment she saw Jiang Qin she suddenly wanted to whimper.
“You’re sweating so much? How did you get here?”
“I puff puff ran here.” Feng Nanshu said seriously.
Jiang Qin was amused by her thinking to himself that he had been worrying this silly girl was only pretending to be dumb. It was completely an unfounded concern: “I know you ran here but how are you so tired?”
The little rich girl held out her hand to him: “I ran here from the front square.”
Jiang Qin grasped her small hand: “Wearing small leather shoes?”
“Mm.”
“Feng Nanshu do you know how to ride a bike?”
Feng Nanshu shook her head looking up at him with a small face: “Jiang Qin I’m silly. I don’t know how to do anything.”
The young miss had ridden in cars to and from school since she was little. She usually didn’t dare go out to play alone so she basically had no opportunity to come in contact with bicycles and electric bikes.
Jiang Qin wanted to buy her an electric bike to ride for fun but recently he still had to renovate and recruit. He didn’t have much time to teach her.
Forget it. He’d buy one first then talk about it.
Right at this moment Lu Feiyu who had gone out to buy ingredients returned. He carried big and small bags as he entered. His whole person was panting for breath. The fingers gripping the bags were bright red.
The corner of Jiang Qin’s mouth twitched for a while thinking to himself have I fucking gone mad? How come I’m seeing a human-shaped courier?
“Boss I’m back. I bought a lot of stuff. They’re all the best and most expensive. If we can’t finish eating it all at once we can just put it in the fridge and eat it next time!”
“You wastrel…”
Su Nai revealed a complacent expression at the side thinking to herself this dog boss is always saying Feiyu and I have no EQ. So what if we have no EQ? We have IQ. We have money and really dare to spend it!
Afterwards the group took their seats putting the tables together. They took out a spicy hotpot base and a beef bone soup base. One red one white. Breaking them apart they sank them into the water turning on the electricity to heat it.
Before long the spicy fragrance began spreading throughout the room following the steam rich and mellow.
However just as everyone was about to start eating the sound of footsteps once again echoed in the empty corridor. Then the door to 208 next door was pushed open.
“?”
Jiang Qin put down his chopsticks looking towards the door. He discovered Professor Yan coming out of 208. Scowling he entered 207: “Jiang Qin you really are raising a dog in the entrepreneurship base? If I hadn’t conducted a surprise inspection I would still be kept in the dark!”
Jiang Qin was stunned thinking to himself where is this a surprise inspection? You clearly came because you smelled the hotpot right?
“Wenhao add a bowl and chopsticks for the professor!”
“No problem!”
Professor Yan’s face flushed red. He still wanted to struggle a bit but Jiang Qin suddenly ran to 208 opening a cabinet and taking out two bottles of alcohol “accidentally” revealing the receipt.
“Fuck how did you see the receipt for over 800 yuan a bottle. Alright then I’ll tell the truth. I bought this a few days ago. I never had the heart to drink it. Today I’ll use it to show my respect to you.”
“…”
“Professor don’t hesitate. 207 is a moral trough of the entire world. Eating anything good here isn’t strange. Before entering take off your baseline. After eating put it back on when you leave.”
Hearing these words the obediently sitting Feng Nanshu couldn’t help but swing her little feet.
After being silent for a while Professor Yan walked in without a sound sitting between Jiang Qin and Dong Wenhao. Although the pot hadn’t started boiling the professor’s chopsticks were picked up quickly and well.
Of course drinking alone was no fun.
Last time Professor Yan drank Wuliangye here alone so this time he had to pull Jiang Qin to degenerate together. After the alcohol effect passed he wouldn’t regret it so much.
Jiang Qin had no choice. He could only accompany him eating drinking and chatting.
Seeing Jiang Qin not playing with her Feng Nanshu quietly stole his alcohol to drink. As a result she was still burned by the spiciness hissing her little mouth bright red.
“So this meal is to celebrate your company’s official establishment?”
“Yes professor. My project has developed to this stage. Establishing a company is very necessary.”
Professor Yan held his wine glass feeling a bit sentimental: “Good thing. This is indeed a good thing worth celebrating. Come let’s drink a glass the two of us.”
“Professor I toast you.” Jiang Qin picked up his own glass draining it in one go. Then his expression froze slightly.
The two bottles of alcohol he bought had been inspected to not taste that great but this time he actually tasted that kind of sweet and faint fragrance again just like when he drank at Juxian Building.
“?”
Jiang Qin turned his head to look at Feng Nanshu his eyes narrowing slightly.
His own wine glass was placed at his right hand side. Besides the little rich girl no one else could touch it. Could the sudden change in flavor be related to her?
But at this time the little rich girl was staring straight at the hotpot. Her sitting posture was very proper. Her expression was obedient and cute. Then she fished out a piece of potato eating it her mouth an innocent adorable look.
Jiang Qin turned his head again to look at Professor Yan. He discovered after a mouthful of alcohol the old man’s eyebrows stood up.
This crappy thing costs 800?
“Professor how does this alcohol taste?”
“Mm not bad…”
Professor Yan coughed thinking to himself I can’t say it tastes bad right? I saw the receipt for 800 yuan. I can’t not give this bit of face.
Jiang Qin looked at his expression from the side thinking to himself this alcohol definitely tastes terrible but how come his own glass tastes so good?
He changed to a new glass pouring a bit to try. He discovered the flavor of the alcohol instantly became ordinary.
This is fucking weird. The longer it sits the better it tastes. Could there be something called sobering up for baijiu?
Until Jiang Qin had a flash of inspiration suddenly turning back while chatting with Professor Yan. The answer to everything was revealed.
Feng Nanshu was hugging his wine glass. Burned by the spiciness she was hissing a small section of the tip of her tongue stuck out. She really was both silly and loved to play.
“Little rich girl what are you doing?”
“I…I’m trying it.”
Feng Nanshu put the glass back on the table. Guilty yet self-righteous she looked at him: “It doesn’t taste good. I won’t drink it next time.”
Jiang Qin suddenly understood. It turned out what was so sweet and fragrant wasn’t the alcohol but Feng Nanshu’s saliva…
So just how sweet and fragrant was her little mouth?
Jiang Qin picked up the wine glass drinking silently for a long time. Inside his heart was a burst of ups and downs.
…
Tuesday the sun was bright. The renovation of Jiang Qin’s top floor large flat office began.
Because Wanzhong Mall was always reforming from the underground first floor to the third floor each had a team of experienced renovation workers stationed. Jiang Qin secretly borrowed a team to do some private work for himself.
Of course Jiang Qin would definitely pay. After all he couldn’t do too many shameless things. He just walked a discount through He Yijun’s connections.
This is called a sense of boundaries!
“Boss for your independent office do you want double-layer sanded glass or single-layer frosted glass?”
“Is there a difference?”
The foreman of the renovation team held a folder and spoke: “The double-layer sanded glass can have patterns made. The sound insulation will also be a bit better. The single-layer frosted glass basically has no sound insulation.”
“So the double-layer sanded glass is more expensive?” Jiang Qin instantly grasped the main point.
“Right it’s quite a bit more expensive.”
“Let’s do this. For the innermost room give me double-layer sanded glass. The others can be single-layer frosted glass.”
Jiang Qin planned to use the innermost room as his own office. Although he had no need for sound insulation but who knows maybe one day he would need it. Getting a room with good sound insulation first was better to be prepared.
When it was noon around the time they had just eaten lunch all the employees of 208 took a car to Wanzhong Mall.
Yue Zhu as Jiang Qin’s part-time secretary was the first to receive them in the hall. Looking at these youthful faces she felt a bit dazed still unwilling to believe it was this group of college students that created group-buy supporting Wanzhong’s entire pure sales business chain.
This feeling was like someone telling her your 8-year-old nephew beat a 200-pound boxing champion until he cried. Magical yet absurd.
Afterwards the group of a dozen or so people followed Yue Zhu up to the top floor swarming into the office.
Looking at this spacious large flat office the domineering floor-to-ceiling windows besides a look of shock they still had a look of shock.
“Boss you rented this? How much did it cost?” Su Nai’s mouth was wide open.
Jiang Qin pinched his thumb and index finger making a 5mm length: “Not that much. About this much.”
Su Nai compared it herself: “This isn’t considered too thick. At most 50 100-yuan bills. Such a big office taken care of for 5000? That’s the monthly rent right?”
“I was talking about the thickness of my skin. Per 100 square meters it only used up a few millimeters of the thickness of my skin.”
“…”
After meticulous logical analysis Su Nai suddenly realized fuck so it turns out this big office was borrowed by the boss relying on the thickness of his skin!
Impressive impressive. It really seems those with thick skin gain the world.
Su Nai didn’t know about the resource exchange between Jiang Qin and He Yijun but just felt it was very impressive.
“Boss, are we going to move here to work in the future? Won’t it be inconvenient? After all, everyone still needs to attend classes.”
“No, for now you will still work in the school. This office will be used for other purposes.”
