15 Assistants

The saffron at Bracken Tree Farm has finally bloomed after a few more days of sunny blazing.

The only person Lin Yilong knew who had experience in saffron processing was Fatima, who lived in London, so he naturally found Fatima.

Fatima only knew that Lin Yilong should be a rich man, but he did not expect that he would live alone in the countryside of Wales.

When Lin Yilong went to Mastagh station to pick up Fatima, the atmosphere was very good. This atmosphere became somewhat antagonistic when Fatima first saw Lin Yilong's flowerbed, and Fatima did not think that the flowers that grew in Lin Yilong's flowerbed were saffron.

Obviously it has blue-purple petals and a very long red stigma, and the shape and fragrance are exactly the same as the saffron in the textbook, I don't know why Fatima would say that.

"The saffron stigma has an average of only three stigmas, but Lin Yilong's saffron stigma is much higher than three, reaching as many as 12. Not only that, but the flowering time is not right, and the saffron should not bloom until October to November, not mid-June. Fatima explained.

"It's a specially bred variety. Lin Yilong explained to Fatima, "With very high genetic technology, you can only know whether it is good or bad after it tastes, so it's better to try it after you deal with Fatima!"

"I see. Fatima looked at Lin Yilong suspiciously, temporarily agreeing with her employer's statement. She just came over to help Lin Yilong deal with the flowers, and did not comment on Lin Yilong's position. In that case, the rest of the matter is not her brain.

"This flower field is not small, can you afford it?" Lin Yilong asked, except for Fatima, some forest farm workers and the families of workers temporarily employed by Lin Yilong were engaged in harvesting, but they could only collect the whole flower and bulbs and extract all the stigmas, and the income was far inferior to Fatima.

"It should be fine. Fatima replied, changed into the gardener's bib prepared by Lin Yilong, and started work with gardening scissors.

In 8 hours, all the flowers in the flower beds and fields have been picked and piled up in an empty barn like a hill.

"Do you still need these petals?" asked Fatima,

"Yes, you smell it, as long as you dry these petals, it should be good to take a petal bath. Lin Yilong said.

"But the petals of saffron have no taste, only the stamens have taste. Fatima reminded,

"Just separate as I ask. Lin Yilong didn't argue with Fatima about these issues, "and then the treatment method is the same as at the stigma, dehydration and sun drying." ”

"Understood!" Fatima no longer had a right opinion on Lin Yilong.

The cut tubers will be stored by Lin Yilong and sealed for cultivation. The flowers and everything are left to Fatima to deal with, and the rest of the work is very trivial.

For the remaining two days, Fatima needed to bake and pack Lin Yilong's barn for 14 hours a day, and Lin Yilong didn't have the time to shush her for the time being.

The day after Fatima started, her roommate Katie also sorted out her belongings according to Lin Yilong's request and came to South Wales.

Just like when the Yeon sisters moved, she only took some necessary documents and a few changes of clothes, and the rest of the clothes and items were thrown into the charity shop according to Lin Yilong's instructions.

The 400,000 pounds that Tom designed to defraud has been in the hands of Lin Yilong since December last year. Now the money has been remitted to Katie's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Whitehouse, according to Katie's wishes, and Katie's younger brother John was also found by Lin Yilong, and under Katie's arrangement, he admitted his mistake to his parents, reconciled, and returned to school. No one in the whole turmoil has lost money, if only Tom, the culprit. Even so, the Whitehouse family, who used to be very friendly and caring for each other, could not return to the turmoil, and Katie decided to join Lin Yilong despite her parents' objections to resign from her job at Alan Binghamton.

Katie was not reluctant and indifferent when she met Lin Yilong at the train station in Swansea, although the weather was a little gloomy, as if in vain to show her value, Katie still wore very smart women's business clothes, as if she had come to Lin Yilong for business negotiations. She had a happy sweet smile on her face, as if the previous sadness and discomfort had disappeared, making Lin Yilong feel that he had re-experienced the amazement and generosity of the moment when he first met Katie.

"Welcome to Wales. Lin Yilong put on an elegant gentleman's demeanor as much as possible, "I hope you enjoyed the four-hour journey here." ”

Such an ordinary greeting is not suitable here, this four-hour journey is a torment for Katie, she has finished the past, she doesn't know how Lin Yilong will arrange her, apprehension and a little anticipation coexist, it is difficult to enjoy the journey.

"It's fine. Katie said enthusiastically, "Where are we going now?"

"Let's go have lunch. Lin Yilong looked at the time, it was just half past eleven, although it was a bit early for the British to have lunch, but it didn't matter to him.

"Fatima is sorting the flowers right now. On the way to the restaurant, Lin Yilong mentioned it meaningfully, "I don't know what she will think when she goes back and sees the empty apartment." ”

"I've paid off the rent with what little money I have left, which is compensation for my departure. "So, I don't feel guilty. ”

"That's good. While the two were talking, they had arrived at an Italian restaurant and sat down inside.

Naturally, Katie ordered the food, and Katie looked at Lin Yilong more or less uncomfortably.

"Let's talk about your future life, I said, you can go out on your own or be my personal assistant first. Lin Yilong repeated to Katie what he had promised half a year ago, "How do you choose now?" ”

"I thought, if I could, could I join your and your classmates' law firm and continue to do business instead of going out on my own?" Katie asked.

"Unfortunately, this option is lame. Lin Yilong rejected Katie's suggestion, "Don't be sad, this is all due to personnel considerations, there are only three general partners in my law firm, and the rest of the people who are willing to have some old friends with me are only salary partners, if you go there, at most you can only start as a senior assistant, and the salary and salary cannot match your in London, it will be very doubtful." ”

"If you allow it, I'll be your assistant, I can't do it alone for the time being. Katie said to Lin Yilong.

"Then you have a lot to learn. Lin Yilong looked at Katie meaningfully, observing Katie's dress.

Lin Yilong's provocative gaze made Katie uncomfortable, and she took a deep breath and returned to normal.

"Alright, let's try it. Lin Yilong said, and Lin Yilong took out another folder from his backpack. And took out the silver card that Katie had given him back in December from his purse, "After lunch, I'll go to Bristol to talk to an American on my behalf, I don't want to make any binding agreements with him for the time being, but at the same time I don't want to discourage him." Here's what you'll need. ”
