Shi Lin squinted his eyes and smiled and stroked his white beard: "This is the most unique feature of our new breed."

"I have adopted a new method to brew grapes. Compared with the traditional brewing method, this brewing method will make the taste of the grapes more mellow and less sedimentation, and will not affect the taste of the wine due to long-term storage .”

Jiang Yan's clear eyes reflected the bright red wine, as bright as the stars at night.

"How the hell is this done?"

He straightened up and asked Shilin.

"When squeezing the grape juice, put lily of the valley petals, let these substances dissolve in the wine, seal and ferment at an appropriate temperature..."

Shi Lin narrowed his eyes and explained, with a smile on his face.

"What's his name?"

Jiang Yan picked up the goblet again and sniffed lightly, a rich and sweet fragrance of lily of the valley came to his face, paired with the fierceness of the wine juice, it was gentle and charming.

"Lily of the valley Bodhi." Shi Lin replied, "I've thought about it for a long time, but we still use Chinese to name it."

"It's so nice." Jiang Yan shook the wine glass twice, and drank the red wine in one gulp.

"It's just..." Shi Lin spread his hands helplessly: "It's just that there is no supplier who is willing to promote this new variety."

"why?"

"Because they feel that it is incredible to prepare grapes and petals together."

Shi Lin paused for a moment, and then continued: "You must know that there is still a certain process and distance for people to accept new things."

After hearing what he said, Jiang Yan closed his eyes and stared at the empty wine glass, thinking.

"Son, what's wrong with you? What are you thinking?" Seeing his serious expression, Shi Lin asked worriedly.

"It's okay..." Jiang Yan shook his head at him, with a relaxed expression on his face again: "Uncle Shi, don't worry, I have a solution."

"any solution?"

"Don't ask, anyway, within this week, I will definitely promote the new variety, just wait and see."

Jiang Yan spoke confidently, with a smile on his pretty lips.

Seeing his confident appearance, Shi Lin didn't say any more, but changed the subject: "How are you and Voris...?"

Jiang Yan was obviously a little shocked by his question: "What else can I do? We're just friends."

Shi Lin's eyes showed some wisdom: "Are you still thinking about Master Tan?"

Jiang Yan was taken aback for a while before answering: "I don't miss him, but I only have him in my heart."

Hearing his words, Shi Lin sighed in relief and helplessness: "You are really different from that kid Guan Mo..."

"What's the difference?"

"It's all different." Shi Lin replied in a deep voice, "I've never seen such a firm light in his eyes."

Jiang Yan was silent, he was playing with the wine glass, feeling a little disappointed: "Maybe he is just afraid, everyone has something they are afraid of."

"It made him not believe in his love for Uncle Tan."

Shi Lin pondered Jiang Yan's words over and over again: "You know him better than my father."

Jiang Yan smiled back at him: "It's late at night, Uncle Shi, you should rest quickly, tomorrow you have to go to Linshi to deliver wine."

"Okay, okay..." Shi Lin smiled and picked up the copper lamp on the table, and walked out of the wine cellar with Jiang Yan.

After saying goodnight to each other, the two went back to their bedrooms.

Jiang Yan opened the door, walked into his bedroom, took off his casual clothes, and changed into light blue pajamas.

He stood in front of the balcony, looking at the crescent moon emerging from the dark clouds, and the light of the full moon dazzled him, even reflecting the arc of his crow-colored eyelashes.

He lit a cigarette, turned his head and picked up the photo on the wooden shelf beside him, and stared at it for a long time.

After Luo Ran returned to City A, instead of going to the company, she first went to the supermarket near her home, bought dinner ingredients and some snacks for Luo Jiangai, and then drove back to her villa.

After getting off the car, he was taking his daughter to his villa when he saw an unexpected person.

"Jia Hong?"

Against the light of the setting sun, the figure was leaning against a silver Mercedes and waiting for something. When he saw Luo Ran walking with his daughter, he immediately put out the cigarette in his hand and walked forward.

"Respect...Brother Jingqian..."

He called that familiar name, but his tone was extremely unfamiliar.

Luo Ran looked at him with mixed feelings in his heart. Since Jiang Yan clarified the Luo Shi incident last time and everything was settled, he hadn't seen Fang Jiahong again.

Unexpectedly, in just one year, the once handsome and elegant young man would turn into such a mess.

"Father... who is he...?" Luo Chaai hid behind Luo Ran, her eyes widened, and she asked timidly.

Luo Ran came back to her senses and lightly squeezed her daughter's little hand: "It's Uncle Fang, Uncle Fang who used to go to grandma's house to play with you, don't you remember?"

The expression on the face of the Fang family was a little awkward, but they still looked at Luo Jiang'ai and said warmly: "Little love has grown taller..."

Luo Ran smiled at him and put the key into her daughter's hand: "You go home first, Dad wants to talk to Uncle Fang for a while."

Luo Jiangai nodded obediently, took the key and ran to her villa.

Luo Ran watched her daughter open the door to go home, and then turned her gaze back to the young man with a slightly embarrassed expression in front of her: "In the past year, you..."

He wanted to ask the other party's whereabouts, but he didn't know how to ask.

Fang Jiahong saw that he was uncomfortable, so he responded: "I went abroad to accompany someone to see a doctor."

"It's... Luo Bin?"

Luo Ran, a good friend of Jiang Yan, has heard about it for a long time. Although he has never met him, after the last scandal broke out, he learned from Jiang Yan that Luo Bin has a very serious mania.

At Jiang Yan's request, he did not pursue the other party's responsibility.

"Yes." Fang Jiahong lowered his head with shame on his face.

"Then...you came to see me...?" Luo Ran asked calmly.

Only then did Fang Jiahong raise his eyes: "I...I want to ask for your forgiveness."

After hearing this, Luo Ran showed a half-smile expression: "Jia Hong, I want to tell you two things, first, I am not a saint, and I will not forgive everyone who hurt me or my family, and second Two, I used to trust you a lot, and you ruined all of this yourself."

Fang Jiahong clasped his hands tightly, with a bitter expression on his face: "Before I came, I knew this would happen...Maybe, apologizing to you is a kind of redemption for myself..."

Luo Ran stared at him and sighed in her heart: "Jia Hong, tell me, are you... in love with Luo Fen?"

Fang Jiahong raised his eyes sharply, looked at him in horror, his lips trembled slightly: "I...I..." He even said two words of "I", trembling all over nervously.

"He is also a poor man." After a long time, the words came to the end: "Like me, a poor man who can't ask for anything."

"No matter what happens between you..."

Luo Ran looked away from Fang Jiahong's face: "I only have one request, don't hurt my family anymore."

After leaving this sentence, Luo Ran lifted his foot and left without stopping, and passed Fang Jiahong. At that moment, Fang Jiahong's pupils shrank, his nails dug into his palm, and blood almost flowed out.

Under the golden sunset light, the two figures overlapped and interlaced.

The acquaintances in childhood, the memories of youth, and the brothers and sisters later, are all buried in yesterday with the alienation at this moment, and finally run counter to each other, dissipating in the sinking sunset halo.

Luo Ran returned home, packed up the things for the trip with her daughter, and was about to start cooking dinner, when there was a hasty knock on the door in the villa.

Luo Ran glanced at the clock, it was already [-]:[-] in the evening, he patted his daughter's head, and said in a warm voice, "Pack up your toys, Dad will open the door."

Luo Jiangai hugged her teddy bear and nodded, watching her father walk to the door.

"I already said, no need to apologize..."

Luo Ran opened the door, thinking it was Fang Jiahong who came to the door again, but before he finished speaking, he met a pair of deep and stern eyes.

"Mr. Tan...?" Luo Ran was stunned.

Tan Tianzheng was still as unkind as before.

Standing in a black suit, with his sharp eyebrows and eyes, it makes people feel a little fear out of thin air. Fortunately, he is wearing a slightly elegant gold-rimmed glasses today, which softens the sharp facial features a lot.

"Boss Luo isn't going to invite me in?"

Tan Tianzheng spoke lightly, clearly in a calm tone, but there was an irresistible aura in people's ears.

Luo Ran had no intention of becoming an enemy of him, so she stepped aside and said, "Please come in."

"Thank you." Tan Tianzheng nodded and walked into the house.

Luo Ran invited the other party to sit down on the sofa and asked while pouring water: "Mr. Tan's sudden visit must be...for Jiang Yan?"

Tan Tianzheng was silent for a moment, his eyes under the gold-rimmed glasses reflected a little light: "Yes, not all of them."

As he said, he picked up the glass in front of him and looked at it for a moment: "I always feel that during this time, it seems that the whole world is avoiding me."

"Especially him."

When Luo Ran heard this, she was a little helpless, but still responded sincerely: "I did just return to City A, today's noon flight."

As he said that, he straightened up and looked at Tan Tianzheng: "I heard from the secretary that you came to Luo's twice within a week. Is it for business or for private affairs with Jiang Yan?"

Tan Tianzheng glanced at the wine rack behind him, raised his hand and pushed his glasses: "Both business and private matters."

While the two were talking, Luo Jiang'ai ran out of the bedroom and threw herself into Luo Ran's arms: "Dad...I've packed all the toys."

Luo Ran hugged her daughter firmly, and said with a smile: "Why are you so rude? Didn't you see that Dad is talking to uncle?"

Luo Chang'ai raised her face, only to realize that there was an uncle she had never seen before sitting opposite her father.

"Hello, Uncle..." She bit her little finger and called out timidly.

"This is that child?" Tan Tianzheng looked at Luo Jiang'ai's flushed little face, and finally a little softness appeared in his eyes.

"Yes." Luo Ran responded in a low voice, and then said to Luo Chang'ai: "After packing up the toys, I will go to see the homework for the holidays. Dad will ask you to eat later."

"Hmm...Okay." Due to the presence of a stranger, Luo Chang'ai obediently returned to the bedroom.

"Her eyes are very similar to his."

The same clear deer eyes always carry a little fear and curiosity.

"Yes, Jiang Yan took a fancy to this when he brought this child back."

Luo Ran took a sip of hot tea, and asked straight to the point: "Mr. Tan came here suddenly today, did he know something from somewhere?"

"You receive red wine and children's toys from New York every week... President Luo didn't want to tell me?" Tan Tianzheng asked in a deep voice.

"So... this means that I know where Jiang Yan is?" Luo Ran raised a smile on his lips, and looked at Tan Tianzheng with a little doubt.

"It seems that Luo always refuses to reveal it easily."

Tan Tian happened to be looking at him in his spare time. The two of them were clearly in the villa, sitting and talking on the soft sofa, but it gave people the illusion of negotiating.

"I can only say that the item was indeed sent from New York..." Luo Ran paused, then shook his head: "But I don't know where he is."

Strictly speaking, this can be regarded as a hint.

Next, the two discussed recent cooperation projects, as well as specific work matters such as business financing.

After more than 20 minutes, Tan Tianzheng buttoned up his suit and stood up: "I have achieved half of my goal today, Mr. Luo, I am leaving."

Luo Ran also stood up, and accompanied him to the door: "I've said what should be said, and what should not be said. If Mr. Tan really wants to know his whereabouts, I suggest you go to New York in person. "

Tan Tian was walking out of the villa, and looked back at him again: "I will go, thank you."

Looking at his resolute back, Luo Ran felt a little emotional. Once upon a time, Tan Tianzheng, who had always been serious, also learned to say thank you, but in just 10 minutes...

Luo Ran returned to the living room, looked at the two cups of tea that were still steaming, and felt that many things and people around her were slowly changing.

In the early summer, the evening in New York was slightly hotter. On the bustling Broadway (Broadway) Street, the crowds were moving towards one of the theaters.

A giant poster was posted in front of the theater, with the words "Wine Tasting" written in Chinese and English on it. There were many luxury cars parked in front of the theater, which were extremely conspicuous on this busy street.

When people walked into the theater, warm and bright lights came into view. Tables of brightly colored wine were placed on the wide stage. After thousands of spectators were seated, the lights on the stage were fixed on the hostess.

"Ladies and gentlemen…!"

"Welcome to the wine tasting night... Please invite our guests to appear..." The blond hostess held the host card and introduced in standard American English: "Welcome... the chief wine tasting of East Winery Teacher...Mr. Philip..."

"Executive shareholder of Nineteen Nights Red Wine Company... Ms. Edmond Leah..."

"The sponsoring company of this show...French Chateau Arya..."

After the hostess finished her introduction, there was warm applause and whistles again, and the live TV team swept the cameras from the guest seats one by one, and then returned to the stage.

"After introducing the guests at the scene, let me tell you again, as well as the 28 contestants we are waiting in the background...our tasting rules and judging methods..."

"On the long table beside me, there are sixteen kinds of wines from England, France, Canada, New Zealand and Spain..."

"Our contestants need to blindfolded, come up to the stage, and taste these red wines with the help of the hostess..."

"The one who can accurately name the year and category of the red wine, and has the highest correct rate wins, will not only receive a grand prize of 20 US dollars provided by the French Chateau Alya..."

"There will also be opportunities to travel around the world to learn and visit red wine wineries..."

Speaking of this, the female host's tone was slightly excited: "Now, let's invite our first contestant...Thomas Binger from Australia..."
