Chapter XXIV The Quarrel at Miller's Manor
"You're such a complete idiot. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" said Old Miller, who was sitting in a chair in an office full of artworks, with a blank face.
Jeff didn't react when he was reprimanded by his elders like this, he just smiled mockingly, and then pushed the bill in front of Miller.
"If you want to succeed in winning Person, you have to pay a price, and 150,000 euros is not much." Jeff said lightly, with a hippie smile.
"150,000 is not too much!" Miller was trembling with anger from Jeff's appearance, and he said hatefully: "I told you a long time ago not to take the initiative to provoke the group of people at the Posong Winery, but this time it's a good thing that you made such a fuss, and the Posong Winery has the support of the Sanchez family, and it is even more difficult to buy them!" ”
"What's that, if I don't provoke them, can the people of the Sanchez family have any affection for us? Don't forget, my esteemed uncle. Our wine merchant is the Nandez Group, and in Provence and throughout France, the Sánchez and Fernández families are competitors. Since we have chosen one of them, we don't want to gain the friendship of the other. Jeff took a sip of the red wine in his glass and said with a sneer.
"Miller is just a small winery, and there is no need to get involved in the contradictions of those people."
"I don't want to be like you in this little winery for the rest of my life." Jeff snorted.
Old Miller frowned and glanced at Jeff, he was surprisingly lifeless, he just said tiredly: "Many things are not as simple as you think......"
"So I can only call you uncle for the rest of my life?" Jeff suddenly said something that didn't make sense, and suddenly the atmosphere in the room became extremely strange.
Just as the uncle and nephew were staring at each other, the door was pushed open with a bang. A girl with heavy makeup walked in with an old lady in a menacing manner.
Seeing these two people, Jeff hurriedly stood up nervously and said respectfully: "Aunt Barbara, Sister Alice, why did you come back early, isn't Paris fun?" ”
Barbara ignored Jeff at all, and Alice sneered, "Although Paris is fun, it is not as lively as home." What's wrong? I heard that Brother Jeff has done something big recently. ”
Looking at the disgusting expression on Alice's face, Jeff chuckled in his heart, he knew that his affairs had been known by this nasty sister, and then he looked at Barbara even more worriedly.
Here, Barbara, who was dressed very young, had already walked to the desk in a few steps, picked up the bill that was still on the table, and then looked at Miller with a blank face and asked, "What's going on?" ”
"This ......," Miller was speechless.
Barbara turned around and came to Jeff again, and Jeff opened his mouth to explain, only to see Barbara wave his dry palm vigorously.
Syllable!
A loud slap slapped Jeff in the face, and suddenly Jeff's face showed a red mark. Jeff stood there stunned, his otherwise handsome face full of astonishment.
Barbara's eyes widened, the veins on her neck bulged, and she yelled at Jeff, "You see, whose winery is this, I didn't bring you here from the countryside to let you splurge it!" You shit! ”
Jeff covered his face and glanced at Miller, who was sitting behind his desk with his eyes closed, and then turned around and ran out of the office.
……
After the events of the previous day, Château Person was completely busy, not only hiring a new group of growers, but also carrying new equipment to the winery almost every day.
In order to make the distillery meet Bona's requirements, Ye Chen not only used the interest-free loan provided by Elaine to buy a batch of new equipment, but also hired a construction team in the town to renovate the distillery.
Seeing that this year's grape harvest is approaching, the construction of the winery must be completed before then, and everyone in the winery is in full swing. Busy people can be seen everywhere in the huge winery, and the originally deserted Château Perzon has become a lot more lively.
Because he lived in the countryside for a period of time when he was a child, Ye Chen is no stranger to simple labor, so sometimes he will help with some work. However, although he felt that this was just a gesture, it had a great impact on the workers.
Just helped move a machine, Ye Chen wiped his sweat and ran to Anna's side, took the water in her hand and poured a big mouthful, and then asked with interest: "How is it, what do they say?" ”
Of course, he didn't ask what those people said on their lips, but he wanted to ask them what they thought in their hearts.
Anna, who finally put on the good-looking clothes she had been thinking about, glanced at Ye Chen angrily.
"They say that this manor owner is really hardworking and can actually reach out to work, which is really unusual."
"Hahaha, that's what you want!" Ye Chen laughed when he heard others praising him in his heart.
"But there are also people who have bad things to say about you." Anna glanced at Ye Chen and added.
"How?" Ye Chen asked with a dark face.
"They say that the lord of the manor is really fed, and he thinks that if he comes to help with the work, we will be paid less?" Anna opened her mouth and said in the tone of the workers.
"Who said that!"
"The one in blue." Anna said truthfully.
"Come here, yes, don't look at it, it's you!" Ye Chen pointed at the worker in blue clothes and shouted, the man finally looked at Ye Chen, Ye Chen pointed to a machine placed aside and said, "You go and move this thing over." ”
"But you just moved him here?"
"I'm willing, let you do it, you can do it! Don't want to get paid anymore? Ye Chen asked with a blushing face.
The worker didn't know what was wrong with the employer, so he muttered a word and went to move things.
"He just scolded you." Anna said very positively.
"I know, you don't have to tell me this."
It's just a small episode in a busy life, and the renovation of the winery is still in progress. Ye Chen rested for a while and was about to continue working, but he heard someone calling his name, he went out to take a look, and found that it was Jacques who he hadn't seen for several days.
Seeing Ye Chen's appearance, Jacques laughed.
"Hey, friend, what are you doing, how do you get all over the dust."
"As for the work, Mr. Beaune said that the hygiene of the winery is not up to standard, and I am going to renovate it before the grapes are harvested." Ye Chen said truthfully.
"Speaking of the grape harvest, my visit today happens to be related to this matter." Jacques smiled and continued: "The Knight's Winery plans to pick grapes in half a month, and my sister asked me to invite you to our winery's picking festival. ”
"Picking Festival?" Ye Chen had never heard of this festival, and he didn't quite understand it.
"It's a Spanish custom, and there's a lot of fun going on at the picking festival and I'm sure you'll enjoy it." Jacques exaggerated.
"It's really fake, then I'll go and see, if it's not interesting, I'll settle accounts with you."
