Old West was grinning from ear to ear when he saw the Semillon that was infected with noble rot. But when he heard what Xia Ruofei said, his grin froze and was replaced by a pained expression.
After a while, Old West said, "Xia, if you want to try making wine yourself, you can just use the normal grapes from our winery. These noble rot grapes are too rare and too precious..."
Xia Ruofei shrugged and said with a smile, "Uncle West, such a large area of grapes is infected with the noble rot mold. It's quite a lot! Besides, I didn't ask for a lot, just one bucket! "
One bucket! Just one bucket!
Old West regretted bringing Xia Ruofei to Golden Oak Winery. He could only blame himself for not being able to keep his cool and rushing over here as soon as he heard the news. If he had calmed down a little and given Xia Ruofei two buckets of grape juice to send him away, then quietly come over, wouldn't everything have been fine?
Now, this god of plague had followed him to Golden Oak Winery and had taken a fancy to these noble rot grapes! And the other party was the boss, so Old West couldn't refuse! Old West's intestines were green with regret now.
Feng Jing saw Old West's expression and couldn't help but feel sorry for him. She quietly tugged at Xia Ruofei's sleeve and said, "Ruofei, why don't we just let it go? Look at Uncle West, he's so distressed... "
Xia Ruofei said in a low voice, "Sister Jing, I'm not fooling around by asking for the grape juice. It's really useful!"
Feng Jing said helplessly, "Alright! Then I won't persuade you anymore... but you'd better do your best to persuade Uncle West! I'm afraid he'll force you to go on strike... "
After saying that, Feng Jing couldn't help but chuckle.
Xia Ruofei looked at Old West and found it funny. He walked over and said, "Uncle West, I have a friend who specializes in white wine brewing. I want these two buckets of grape juice for him. Maybe he can help us develop better wine, so... this time, you have to cooperate with me no matter what and give me the best grape juice!"
Old West actually felt sorry for Xia Ruofei. Actually, all of this was Xia Ruofei's doing. To Old West, he didn't lose anything at all. In a sense, this was also a manifestation of his strong sense of responsibility.
Now that he saw Xia Ruofei, as the boss, patiently explaining things to him, he quickly thought it through.
Although he was still a little reluctant, Old West still said straightforwardly, "Okay! Xia, I will prepare the best grape juice for you. However, these clear liquids have high requirements for temperature and environment. After you get them, you have to send them to your friend as soon as possible. Otherwise, they will easily go bad! "
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "Don't worry! My friend is in Australia. I'll send it to him as soon as possible! "
...
Xia Ruofei and Feng Jing stayed in Australia for another three days, then stepped on the flight back home.
The main reason was that each of the precious grapes had to be manually selected, and the grapes had very little water content. To get enough grape juice for a bucket, the consumption was several times that of ordinary grapes. That was why it had dragged on for so many days.
Before leaving, Xia Ruofei went to visit Captain Brooke in Sydney. He had recovered well. Although it took a hundred days to recover from his injury and he had to go through a series of assessments and psychological tests after recovery before he could fly again, Brooke was very satisfied to be able to return to his flight post after such a disaster.
Xia Ruofei's Honorary Passenger Diamond Card was also sent to Xia Ruofei by the Qantas staff. At the same time, the two million Australian dollars bonus had been transferred to Xia Ruofei's account.
Xia Ruofei immediately transferred five hundred thousand Australian dollars to Old West Winery's account, asking Old West to hire more workers and give everyone a bonus.
Xia Ruofei directly transferred the remaining one million and five hundred thousand Australian dollars to his account in the offshore company.
What made Xia Ruofei a little regretful was that the Airbus A350 was still under repair, and a new paint was also being designed, so he could not see the vegetable and fruit-themed paint of the plane before he left.
However, Tony also said that when the plane was repaired, he would invite Xia Ruofei to take the plane on its first flight, and Xia Ruofei gladly agreed.
There were two barrels of grape juice, one of which was ordinary Semillon grape juice, and the other was grape juice infected with noble rot mold. Old West did what he said and personally processed the two barrels of grape juice and handed them to Xia Ruofei.
Xia Ruofei immediately loaded them into the winery's pickup truck, and then transported them to his "friend".
Of course, Xia Ruofei actually drove to a deserted place, and then stored the two barrels of grape juice into the Ring-Tu space. Australia was vast and sparsely populated, so such a place was easy to find.
Then he wandered around outside for half a day before finally returning to Old West Winery.
Old West was still very concerned about the two barrels of grape juice. When he heard that Xia Ruofei had given them to his friend and placed them in a constant temperature environment, he was relieved.
Because Xia Ruofei was in Australia, he did not have time to process the grape juice. Fortunately, they still needed to ferment in oak barrels for a while, especially for the noble rot wine, so Xia Ruofei simply placed them in the Mountain Sea Realm, where the flow of time was the same as the outside world, and used the invisible force of space to build a barrier to prevent any accidents, such as the white space raccoon, from destroying them.
Everything would be dealt with after he returned to China.
Xia Ruofei was also full of expectations for the two barrels of grape juice. He could not wait to see what kind of wine he could get by fermenting in the best oak barrels in the Ring-Tu space.
The two naturally took the Qantas flight back. Xia Ruofei booked a first-class ticket for Feng Jing, and he exercised his rights as an honorary passenger. He directly got a free ride and a free upgrade, sitting in the first-class cabin with Feng Jing.
During the whole ten-hour flight, the service of the Qantas flight attendants could be said to be meticulous. Although their service was very professional in the past, there was a trace of professionalism in their smiles. But this time, Xia Ruofei really felt what it meant to be at home.
When the plane landed at Beijing Airport, the captain of the flight personally came out and gave Xia Ruofei a bottle of red wine.
So when the two came out, Feng Jing said with a smile, "Ruofei, if you take a few more flights in the future, the wine cabinet at home will be full!"
Xia Ruofei said, "This is the first time I'm taking a flight as an honorary passenger. They just gave me wine. How can they give me wine every time? Besides, who takes international flights all day long! "
"It's free anyway! If you have nothing to do, you can go abroad and have fun! "Feng Jing said with a smile.
"That's what you said! Don't complain that I don't care about the company's affairs! "Xia Ruofei said half-jokingly.
The two walked out of the airport's restricted area, chatting and laughing. However, as soon as they came out, Xia Ruofei was dazzled by the flashes of the cameras. He looked at the large group of reporters in front of him, stunned. He did not know what was going on.
Feng Jing was also shocked. She thought to herself, "Did we take the same flight as some big star?"
Xia Ruofei's first reaction was the same. However, this idea was quickly shattered by the countless microphones and scrambling questions.
"Mr. Xia! I'm a reporter from Sina Weibo. Welcome back! How does it feel to be a national hero in Australia? "
"Some people say that you are the light of the new era. What do you think of this evaluation?"
"Mr. Xia! When the plane was forced to land, what were you thinking? "
…
Even though Xia Ruofei had always been a cool-headed person, he became a little confused in this chaotic environment.
So these reporters are all here for me? What the hell is going on?
After all, whether it was Xia Ruofei or Feng Jing, both of them had been abroad for the past few days. Although they knew that Xia Ruofei was very popular in China, especially on the Internet, they did not expect him to be so popular.
In fact, when they boarded the plane, the flight number and landing time of the flight had already been spread on the Internet. This was a flight to Huaxia. There were many Chinese people on this flight. Some came back from traveling in Australia, and some came to Huaxia from Australia. These people had personally experienced the real change in the status of Chinese people brought by Xia Ruofei's influence in Australia, so almost everyone knew Xia Ruofei.
Therefore, before Xia Ruofei and Feng Jing could sit down in the first class cabin, someone had already posted the photos of the two of them boarding the plane on Weibo.
At the same time, the flight number, destination, landing time, and so on were also exposed.
News about Xia Ruofei was still on the hot search list in China. Such a focus person returning to China was naturally a carnival for the media, so the reporters rushed to the capital airport.
Because the flight time was more than ten hours, during this period, there were even many reporters from other places who took the fastest flight to Beijing. After getting off the plane, they immediately started working at the airport, preparing to interview Xia Ruofei.
Xia Ruofei also saw that in addition to the reporters, there were even some ordinary people who came to the airport to welcome him.
He saw a group of young people wearing white T-shirts behind the reporters. Their custom-made white T-shirts and banners had the words "Domineering CEO Fan Club" written on them, and there was also a photo of Xia Ruofei.
Xia Ruofei did not know whether to laugh or cry. When did I become the Domineering CEO?
Moreover, the company's CEO is Feng Jing! I'm the CEO's boss, okay? We're familiar with each other, but what's the meaning of demoting me by half a level?
Xia Ruofei was used to big scenes, so he quickly calmed down. Facing the forest of microphones, he gently pushed one of the microphones that was almost stuffed into his mouth forward.
Then Xia Ruofei said, "Everyone, please step back. Don't push, so as not to cause a stampede!"
Xia Ruofei's voice was not very loud, and his tone was very calm, but in such a noisy environment, it was clearly transmitted to everyone's ears.
And although it was crowded just now, Xia Ruofei had always stretched out a hand to protect Feng Jing. No matter how crowded it was, Xia Ruofei did not move. He was like a strong dam. No matter how the tide washed, he always stood.
Originally, seeing this scene, Feng Jing, as a girl, was a little flustered in her heart. But when she saw Xia Ruofei's solid back and strong arms, her heart suddenly calmed down, and at the same time, a warm current surged in her heart.
Feng Jing was behind Xia Ruofei, and the way she looked at Xia Ruofei gradually changed. There was an unconcealable tenderness in her watery eyes.
The security personnel of the airport also noticed the commotion here. Soon, staff members to maintain order came over.
"Sir, for your safety and the safety of others, we suggest you leave the airport through the VIP passage," a person who looked like a manager said.
Xia Ruofei thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll cooperate with your work. But it's hard for the reporters to come all the way here. And for those people who came to pick me up, I'll answer a few of their questions!"
"Thank you for your understanding, sir. Please deal with things here as soon as possible!" the manager said.
Xia Ruofei nodded with a smile and said, "Don't worry!"
Then, Xia Ruofei raised his voice slightly and said, "Reporters, let's step back. Don't block the passage. The people behind can't come out …"
A few Chinese passengers behind Xia Ruofei said loudly, "It's okay, Boss Xia. We can wait!"
Everyone suddenly laughed, and the atmosphere at the scene became much more relaxed.
When the reporters saw that Xia Ruofei's attitude was so peaceful, they were naturally willing to cooperate. So, a group of people surrounded Xia Ruofei and walked more than ten meters in the direction of the hall.
Xia Ruofei said, "As you can see, we can't gather too many people here. The security personnel are still waiting over there! I'll answer three questions from everyone! "
"Okay!" The reporters responded loudly.
In a situation where there were too many monks and too little gruel, the reporters were naturally anxious to ask questions. So, it became like before, one by one rushing to ask questions, and all the voices were mixed together.
Fortunately, Xia Ruofei's hearing was excellent. In such an environment, he could still understand everyone's questions. Otherwise, it would have been difficult for him to deal with it.
Feng Jing felt a headache coming on. She said loudly, "Please ask questions one by one, so that no one can hear clearly! Boss Xia can't answer everyone's questions! "
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "It's okay, I heard it clearly. I'll pick a question to answer! Just now, this Penguin News reporter asked me how it felt to be an Australian hero, right? "
The reporter in the crowd gave Xia Ruofei a thumbs up and said with a smile, "Boss Xia is really amazing! He can even hear it clearly! "
In everyone's eyes, it was really incredible. Not only did Xia Ruofei hear the question clearly, but he also heard the reporter's self-introduction clearly. Moreover, he didn't get confused when other people spoke at the same time. Many people couldn't help but think highly of Xia Ruofei.
