Chapter 2006 She has ten thousand ways to anger the CEO

While Uncle Shi was answering Cheng Xiaoyu's various questions about wine, Gu Hanye and Jiuyao arrived late.

After asking, I found out that Gu Hanye wanted Jiuyao to sleep a little longer, so he quietly turned off her lunch break alarm clock, and as a result, he overslept as well.

Uncle Shi laughed out loud after hearing Jiuyao explain the reason, and couldn't help but sigh: "I saw it a long time ago, Ah Ye is a man who loves his wife very much, it's true!"

Then he looked at his son again: "Chen Yuan, learn from Aye and stop bullying Xiaoyu."

Shi Chenyuan: "...When did I bully her?"

"You always get angry. I wanted to tell you that just now," Uncle Shi shook his head in dissatisfaction. "What a bad habit."

"That's because..."

Before Shi Chenyuan finished speaking, Uncle Shi glared at him. He was speechless and responded without temper, "I know."

Cheng Xiaoyu felt warm in her heart after hearing what her uncle said, but she didn't dare to say anything.

Because he was always giving her a dark look just now, there was indeed a reason...

She also overslept during her lunch break, so they were late when they left. She said she knew a shortcut that could take them to the vineyard quickly. Uncle Zeng told her when they were chatting.

Shi Chenyuan said, "It's my family's garden, how come I don't know there is a shortcut."

But Cheng Xiaoyu firmly believed that the route he knew was closer, and thought that Shi Chenyuan did not go home often, so he was not familiar with the garden.

So she, who was already directionally challenged, took Shi Chenyuan further and further away and eventually got lost.

Because the path they were walking on was deserted and covered with thorny thorns, the soles of her shoes were thin and soft, and she was easily pricked by the thorns. In the end, Shi Chenyuan had to carry her to the main road...

Shi Chenyuan disliked her for being opinionated and disobedient, and his face was dark all the way, which scared Cheng Xiaoyu so much that she dared not say a word. It was not until she met Uncle Shi, Mu Xin and Mr. Fu that the president's attitude towards her softened a little.

Although her uncle was protecting her unconditionally at this moment, Cheng Xiaoyu still felt guilty. She glanced at Shi Chenyuan, shook his arm, and smiled awkwardly.

Cheng Xiaoyu knew that Mr. Shi had no resistance to her acting coquettishly, so this trick always worked.

Sure enough, as soon as she acted coquettishly, Shi Chenyuan glanced at her, sighed deeply, and flicked her forehead.

This is what it means to not be angry anymore.

Without further ado, Uncle Shi pointed to the three rows of grape vines beside him and said excitedly, "Just picking grapes is boring. Why don't we have a competition to see who can harvest the most? Don't look at your youth, I have the confidence to beat you."

Mu Xin: “…”

Shi Chenyuan held his forehead and said, "Here we go again."

Gu Hanye smiled and said, "Okay, as long as you are happy."

Cheng Xiaoyu poked Shi Chenyuan's arm and asked him if similar competitions had been held before.

Su Jiuyao also looked at Gu Hanye curiously.

So Gu Hanye explained that when they were young, whenever there was a grape harvest, their father would bring him and Gu Tianqi to the vineyard. Chen Yuan and Rong Ye would also come. They would all come to the manor to help, which was actually a vacation. Then their uncle would hold a competition for them to see who could pick the most grapes.

Uncle Shi smiled and said, "That's right, the winner will receive a grand prize that I have carefully prepared."

Cheng Xiaoyu suddenly thought of what she saw at Shi Chenyuan's grandfather's house. There was a trophy made of a beverage bottle on Shi Chenyuan's bookshelf. On the base of the trophy was a golden card with something like "First Place in Grape Picking". She was confused at the time, thinking that it was some entertainment activity that Shi Chenyuan had participated in when he was a child.

Only now did she understand what was going on. She couldn't help but laugh and thought that Uncle Shi was so loving.

"Mr. Shi, were you good at picking grapes when you were a kid? I saw your trophy at my grandfather's house."

"Better than Aye anyway."

Gu Hanye said calmly, "I've beaten you before, too, okay?"

Shi Chenyuan smiled slightly: "Just once."

"One win is still a win." Uncle Shi glared at his son, then looked at Su Jiuyao and said with a smile, "Yaoyao, please help me pass the bottle of wine on the table, that paper bag."

There was a small round stone table next to Su Jiuyao, on which was a milky white paper bag. She picked up the bag and took a look. There was a bottle of wine inside with a ribbon tied around it.

She handed the wine to Uncle Shi and asked, "Is this the prize this time?"

Uncle Shi nodded. "Yes, I bought this bottle of champagne at an auction two years ago. It's the 1907 Piper-Heidsieck 'Ships of Silence'. In 1916, the ship carrying this champagne was torpedoed and sunk by a German submarine. The 2,000 bottles of champagne originally destined for Russia for the royal family also sank to the bottom of the sea. It wasn't until over 80 years later that this batch of champagne was salvaged. It's quite a commemorative piece..."

When Cheng Xiaoyu heard this, he understood. It was an antique-level wine, and he didn't know what it tasted like, but it was definitely worth collecting.

Just think about it, it has been sleeping on the seabed for more than 80 years, experiencing so many changes of times, and drifting with so many ocean currents. Just thinking about it makes me feel that this wine has a story.

But the problem is that Cheng Xiaoyu is a pragmatic person. Since the wine cannot be eaten, then if it is kept in the wine cabinet for collection, it is no different from an empty bottle to her.

So her attention was not on the prize, but on the grape trellis in front of her.

Compared to Uncle Shi’s precious prize, she wanted to experience the joy of picking more.

Xiaoyu's grandparents live in the countryside. When she was a child, she would go back to her grandmother's house for a few days every summer vacation. Various vegetables and two grape vines were planted in her grandmother's backyard.

Xiaoyu's favorite thing is to help grandma pick ripe fruits and vegetables...

After her grandparents passed away, she never returned to her hometown, so she had a natural yearning for picking fruits.

Now it's time to prepare to pick grapes, and she's eager to try.

Afterwards, the uncle divided the six people into three groups: Jiuyao and Hanye, Chenyuan and Xiaoyu, Muxin and Fu Zichen, each responsible for a row of grape racks.

In fact, there was no suspense about this grouping. Except for Mu Xin who was unwilling, everyone else thought it was okay.

Mu Xin said to Uncle Shi: "Uncle, I want to be in the same group with Xiaoyu."

Uncle Shi told her not to be willful, Xiaoyu would definitely be in the same group with Chen Yuan.

Mu Xin said that she would form her own group and would not participate if she was to partner with Fu Zichen.

Fu Zichen, who was standing by, looked gloomy. He was silent for two seconds before saying, "It just so happens that I haven't picked grapes much before, so I'm not good at it. I'll quit, and you guys can have fun."

After listening to this, Uncle Shi couldn't help but sigh and said, "I know, I'm old, and you've all grown up. You don't want to play the games we played when we were kids anymore, and you think an old guy like me is boring. So forget it, play however you want."

After saying that, he waved his hand and sat down next to the small stone table.

Uncle Shi's words were very sad. Seeing his lonely look, Cheng Xiaoyu and Jiuyao looked at each other. Cheng Xiaoyu couldn't bear it and planned to persuade Uncle Shi that even if Mu Xin and Fu Shao didn't want to play, the four of them could still play.

But before she could catch up, Shi Chenyuan grabbed her wrist, shook his head at her, and then gave her a look, as if telling her not to worry.
