'SEE YOU MORNING' 017 Cultivation 《晓欣卿》017耕耘

Li Haojun's persistence and execution always manifest again after his brief rest. The primary task every morning is to arrange his computer learning data, and then handle company work. The leisure time after completion is the flexibly arranged time. During this period, he wanted to improve the landscape of his backyard, and the newly ordered lilacs had arrived. After completing his mental work, doing some physical work of tilling the soil and planting flowers was obviously a good adjustment.
李皓珺的执着与执行力总会在他小憩之后再次体现。每天早上首要任务是安排好了自己的电脑学习数据，然后处理公司工作内容，完成之后的闲暇时间才是灵活安排的时间。这一时期他想改善一下自家后院的景观，新订购的紫丁香已经到货了。完成自己的脑力工作后，做一点耕土种花的体力工作显然是个好的调节。
The backyard in the past only had some herbaceous plants. Because the backyard had less light due to the house blocking it, Li Haojun wanted to improve it, taking the opportunity to create a secluded and dense environmental atmosphere. He planted a lilac plant wall on the edge of the backyard land. Inside the wall, a redwood bench was placed, featuring dark wooden boards and cast-iron armrests and legs, facing directly toward the back door of the house. Along the courtyard path and beside the bench, a few cast-iron antique-style courtyard lighting lamps were sparsely installed.
过去的后院只有些草本植物。由于后院因房屋遮挡光线较少，李皓珺就想改进一下，顺势做一个幽密的环境氛围，在后院的土地的边缘部分种植紫丁香植物围墙，墙内放置了红杉木长椅，深色的木板，铸铁扶手支腿，正对着房屋后门。在小院甬路和座椅旁边，稀疏地安置了几盏铸铁仿古庭院照明灯。
Qin Wenjing also often came to the backyard to see what he was doing. Whenever she felt lonely and deserted, she would come to the back of the house and stand at the door watching Li Haojun. Today, she pushed open the back door again, standing there and looking around.
覃文静也时常来后院看看他在做什么，她一感觉孤单冷清，就会来到房后，站在门口看着李皓珺。今天她又推开后房门，站在那里张望，
"Li Haojun, when will your project be completed?"
“李皓珺，你的项目什么时候能完工啊？”
"Oh, no boss has required a deadline from me?" Li Haojun answered with a smile.
“哦，没有老板要求我截止日期啊？” 李皓珺笑着回答，
"Hehe," Qin Wenjing said with a beaming smile, "Big boss, then when do you plan to work on this project until?"
“呵呵，”覃文静笑眯眯地说，“大老板，那你打算把这个项目干到什么时候啊？”
"Oh, this bench feels unstable, not good. I plan to build a foundation for it, otherwise it will wobble when someone sits on it," Li Haojun answered seriously. He always paid serious attention to details.
“哦，这个座椅感觉不稳定，不好，我打算给它做个基础，要不然往上一坐会摇晃。” 李皓珺认真地回答，他总是很认真地注重细节。
"Then wouldn't it be good if I sat on it and wobbled with you?" Qin Wenjing teased Li Haojun while secretly chuckling.
“那我和你一起坐在上面摇不好吗？” 覃文静一边逗李皓珺一边偷笑。
"Haha, you little girl, you've learned to be bad too..." Li Haojun also laughed, involuntarily recalling that he had just been intimate with her this morning. But he was a serious person. After laughing for a while, he continued to explain, "No, without a foundation, during the rainy season, the legs might sink in an unpredictable way. The soil in this yard is too soft, with no support at all. It is also possible that after sitting on it, it will fold backward and fall..."
“哈哈，你个小妮子，也学坏了……” 李皓珺也笑了，不由想起早上刚刚与她亲密过。但是他是个认真的人，笑了一会儿，又继续解释说，“不行，没有基础的话，到了雨季不一定支腿会怎么样下陷，这院子的土质太松软了，完全没有支撑，也有可能坐上以后会向后折倒……”
Qin Wenjing did not reply, just looking at him with a beaming smile. She simply liked his serious appearance, the way he seriously treated every matter in his life, including his willingness to seriously love her.
覃文静也不答话，就是笑眯眯地看着他说，她就是喜欢他认真的样子，认真地对待他人生中的每一件事，也包括他愿意认真地爱自己。
After waiting for Li Haojun to finish explaining, Qin Wenjing began to talk to him about serious business.
等待李皓珺解释完毕，覃文静开始跟他说正事了，
"The company has a new appointment for you. In the future, you may not have so much time to engage in side businesses."
“公司对你又有新的任命了，以后你可能没有这么多时间搞副业了。”
"What?" Li Haojun felt a bit surprised.
“什么？”李皓珺感到有点意外，
"The notice just arrived, come and take a look," Qin Wenjing added.
“刚到的通知，你来看看吧，”覃文静补充道。
A trace of resistance arose in Li Haojun's heart. He had a rebellious bone. It was not resistance toward Qin Wenjing, but rather not wanting his freedom to be bound even more. Going back into the house to look, as expected, he had been appointed as the Operations Manager of the Yakima Elegant Charm Hall Experience Store. It was an exclusive product experience store belonging to the same group as Talaski BioGen Innovations, but previously he had done technical work or factory production management related to technology. Although this appointment was related to his factory products, strictly speaking, it was the operation of a similar store in the service industry.
李皓珺内心一丝抵触，生有反骨，不是抵触覃文静，而是不想自己的自由受到更多束缚。回屋一看，果然，自己被任命为亚基马雅姿丽颜堂体验店运营主管。是属于塔拉奇生物基因创新的同属集团专营产品体验店，但是自己之前做的都是技术工作或者技术相关的工厂生产管理。但是这个任命虽然与自己的工厂产品相关，但是它严格来讲是服务业同类商店的运营。
Li Haojun was also curious about why he had been appointed to this position. He turned his head to look at Qin Wenjing beside him and said.
李皓珺也很好奇自己为什么会被任命这个职位，扭头看看身边的覃文静，说，
"Can I refuse this appointment? The major is a bit mismatched, and it also takes up my time."
“我能拒绝这个任命吗？专业有点不对口啊，还占用我时间。”
"You can. Just report it to your direct superior," Qin Wenjing said with a smile. She understood Li Haojun and his consistent independence.
“也能，跟直属上级反映呗。” 覃文静笑了笑说，她了解李皓珺，一直以来的特立独行。
"I'll still go and try it first, but if things continue like this, the time I spend accompanying you will decrease," Li Haojun smiled slightly and said after thinking for a moment. "I've only been awake for a few days. Can I fly solo before my wings are hard? Besides, the current position is already very good. The company is quite considerate, keeping the position for me after I slept for so long."
“我还是先去试试吧，但是可能这样下去陪你的时间就少了。”李皓珺微微一笑，想了想说，“我这才醒过来几天啊，翅膀还没硬就能单飞了吗？再说目前这个职位已经很不错了，公司也算够意思，睡了那么久还给我留着职位。”
"Hey, maybe it's out of respect for your face. I still have to thank you a lot," Li Haojun said jokingly, starting to tease Qin Wenjing, and then mischievously kept burrowing into her arms.
“诶，也许是看在你的面子上吧，我还得要多多感谢你呢，” 李皓珺说笑着开始打趣覃文静，然后贱兮兮地一个劲往她怀里钻。
"You're still making trouble. You have to go over there this afternoon. Aren't you going to prepare?" Qin Wenjing reminded him while dodging.
“你还闹，下午你就得过去，你还不准备一下啊。” 覃文静一边躲闪，一边提醒他。
"Are you going over there together?" Li Haojun stopped playing around and asked her very seriously. He knew very well that Qin Wenjing was emotionally driven and extremely attached to him, so he tried his best not to leave her alone.
“你也一起过去吗？” 李皓珺停止嬉闹，很认真地问她，他很清楚覃文静是偏情绪化的，对自己极其依恋，所以尽量不留她孤单独处。
"But the appointment notice is written very clearly. Only you, not me, am going to Yakima. It wouldn't be appropriate for me to go," Qin Wenjing explained.
“可是，任命通知写的很清楚啊。只有你，没有我去亚基马。我过去不好吧。” 覃文静解释道。
"What will you do at home by yourself then?" Li Haojun knew she was not good at being alone, otherwise she would not have stayed by his side through thick and thin for so many years. And since he regained his memory this time, as he got along with her, he also found that her weight in his heart was increasing. So when Li Haojun asked her what she would do at home, he did not care about her answer. He had already decided to keep her by his side as much as possible.
“那你自己在家做什么啊？” 李皓珺清楚她不擅长独处，不然也不会这么多年来对自己不离不弃。而自己自从这次有记忆以来，随着与她的相处，也发现她在心中的分量越来越多。所以当李皓珺问她在家做什么的时候，他并不在乎她的回答，他已经决定尽可能带她在身边。
Qin Wenjing thought for a moment and said, "Me? Just find something to do casually."
覃文静想了想，说，“我？随便找点事情做呗。”
Li Haojun put his arm around Qin Wenjing's waist, pulled her into his arms, and said, "You are coming with me."
李皓珺搂住覃文静的腰，把她拉到怀里说，“你跟我一起去。”
Qin Wenjing opened her eyes wide and looked at Li Haojun. She felt a bit surprised. In his resolute gaze, a smile slowly appeared on Qin Wenjing's face. Then she sweetly pushed away from his embrace and said.
覃文静瞪大眼睛看着李皓珺，她觉得有点意外，在他坚定的目光里，覃文静脸上慢慢露出笑容，然后甜蜜地推开他的怀抱，说，
"I'll go prepare lunch. It's going to be too late."
“我去准备午饭，要来不及了。”
"Okay, I also need to prepare a bit," Li Haojun patted Qin Wenjing's buttocks. Qin Wenjing turned her head back and smiled, then he watched her back walk toward the kitchen, and then he turned around himself to familiarize himself with the local shops and industry conditions. Remotely, he could now see some business data, as well as events or customer return visit situations. Although the exclusive experience stores of their own company did not care much about profitability, from a management perspective, it seemed that some data associations were lacking.
“好啊，我也得准备一下，” 李皓珺抓了覃文静的屁股一把，覃文静回头一笑，然后看着她的背影走向厨房，然后自己也转身熟悉当地店铺和行业情况。远程现在可以看到一些经营数据，和事件或者客户回访情况。虽然自家公司的专营体验店铺，不是很在意盈利能力，但是从管理的角度，似乎缺乏某些数据关联。
Although it was a different industry, Li Haojun still relied on his curiosity and keen insight to try to understand and solve problems. Similarly, from elementary school to university, different people had different grades. Even with AI assistants, different people still produced different results. Details always determined success or failure. After understanding some details of this industry, he modified his AI model used for production management, attempting to adapt it to the management and data feedback collection of fashion and body beauty industry experience stores.
虽然是不同的行业，但是李皓珺依然凭借他的好奇心与敏锐洞察力试图理解和解决问题。同样地从小学到大学，不同的人有不同的成绩，同样是有AI助手，依然是不同的人做出不同的成果，永远是细节决定成败。他了解了这个行业的一些细节之后，把自己用于生产管理的AI模型，修改了一下，尝试着适应时尚美体行业体验店管理和数据反馈收集。
After lunch, Li Haojun and Qin Wenjing prepared to travel. The afternoon sun illuminated the courtyard, but only a small amount shone in front of the living room window. With the arrival of midsummer, the angle of the noon sun was getting higher and higher. Inside the house, it seemed a bit cool, but walking into the yard, one could directly feel the scorching sun overhead and the temperature of the surrounding air.
午饭之后，李皓珺和覃文静准备出行，午后的阳光照亮庭院，但是只有少量照入客厅窗前，随着盛夏的到来，中午太阳的角度越来越高了，屋子里面似乎有点凉，走到院落里，则可以直接感受到头顶烈日和周围空气的温度。
Walking out of the small yard, the company's air taxi at the north end was already there. Helping Qin Wenjing sit in the back seat, Li Haojun sat in the front.
走出小院，北端公司的空中出租车已经在那里了，扶覃文静坐在后座，李皓珺坐在了前面。
It was still the same route, just like the last time going to Ellensburg. The difference was that this time Li Haojun had invited Qin Wenjing to go together. When the aircraft flew onto the route, the earth's surface presented a different appearance from several days ago. The vegetation was more lush and thriving. His career was the same, receiving new appointments one after another, Li Haojun couldn't help but think. Looking back at Qin Wenjing, what he cared about most was naturally her.
还是同样的路线，就像上次去往埃伦斯堡一样，不同的是这次李皓珺邀请了覃文静同往。当飞行器飞上航线，地表呈现出与多日前不同的形象，植被更加繁茂一片欣欣向荣，自己的事业也是啊，接连接到新的任命，李皓珺不由得心想。回头望望覃文静，最在意的当然还是她。
"Another adventure?" Li Haojun looked back at Qin Wenjing and asked her a question in English.
“Another adventure?” 李皓珺回头看着覃文静，用英语问了一句她，
Qin Wenjing did not answer. She smiled, and after a while, she said, "Okay."
覃文静没回答，笑眯眯地，过了一会儿才说，“好啊，”
Li Haojun was very gratified to have such a life partner. She was always so easily satisfied. As long as she was with him, she was happy. The sunlight in the air was even stronger, making the cabin shine brilliantly everywhere. Coupled with her sweet smile, Li Haojun felt this journey was like a dream.
李皓珺很欣慰拥有这样一位人生伴侣，她总是那么容易满足，只要是跟自己在一起，她就是开心的。空中的阳光更加强烈，照的座舱里都显得处处熠熠生辉，加上她甜蜜的笑容，李皓珺觉得这趟旅程如同梦幻一般。
The air taxi turned south before reaching Ellensburg, heading straight for Yakima. All that met the eyes were mountains and river valleys. Soon, there was a relatively flat alluvial plain ahead. Yakima had arrived.
空中出租车在不到埃伦斯堡之前向南转向了，直奔亚基马，触目所及都是山川河谷，不久，前方有一片比较平坦的冲积平原，亚基马到了。
The flying taxi landed directly in the parking lot opposite the store. Li Haojun held Qin Wenjing's hand and walked into the store. There were two young ladies at the front desk who greeted them enthusiastically. They initially thought they were customers. One of them was very enthusiastic, bowing and smiling from time to time. Li Haojun couldn't help but wonder if she was of Japanese descent. The other wore a headscarf and had a fair complexion, seemingly of Southeast Asian Malay or Filipino descent. She was very shy, just staying by the side without much speech or action.
飞行出租车直接降落到门店对面的停车场，李皓珺拉着覃文静走进门店。前台有两位年轻女士，热情地招呼了他们，开始还以为他们是顾客，其中一位很热情，不时地鞠躬微笑，李皓珺不由得想到她是不是日本裔。另一位戴着头巾，面容白皙，似乎是东南亚马来或者菲律宾族裔，她很腼腆，只是一直陪在一边，并没有什么过多的言语或者举动。
Li Haojun then introduced his identity and purpose. The two were a bit surprised and subsequently called their store manager to come out.
李皓珺接着介绍了自己的身份和来意，两个人开始有点吃惊，随后叫了他们的店长出来。
A moment later, a lady walked out from the back. She was tall and sexy, with wavy shoulder-length brown hair and bronze skin. Her cheek lines were tough, with a wide jawbone, a pointed chin, and thick lips.
不一会儿后面走来一位女士，身材高挑性感，大波浪披肩发，棕色头发，古铜色皮肤。脸颊线条硬朗，宽颌骨尖下颌厚嘴唇厚重。
"Hello, I am Ethan Li, the newly appointed Operations Manager. The company arranged for me to come here today to meet with you and the colleagues." As he spoke, Li Haojun took the initiative to shake her hand.
“你好，我是伊森·李，新任命的运营主管，今天公司安排我到这里与你和同事们会面。”说着，李皓珺主动和她握手。
"Very good. Welcome. I am Laura Cross, the store manager here."
“很好，欢迎，我是劳拉·克罗斯，这里的店长，”
Then Li Haojun introduced Qin Wenjing. "This is Emily Qin, my colleague. We are jointly responsible for the production plant here." He originally intended for Qin Wenjing to shake hands and greet the other party just like he did. Unexpectedly, she just smiled and nodded to the other party, and then stood beside him with a beaming smile, looking up at him.
接着李皓珺介绍覃文静，“这位是艾米莉·覃，我的同事，我们一起负责这边的生产厂。”说着本想覃文静也跟自己一样与对方握手打招呼，结果出乎意料她只是笑着跟对方点头致意，然后就笑眯眯地站在自己身边仰头看着自己了。
Laura shot a glance over. Li Haojun understood instantly. He thought to himself that Qin Wenjing really did not want to cooperate with him in acting. She was seen through by the other party in one glance; they clearly knew he and Qin Wenjing had more than just a working relationship. Anyway, she really had no responsibilities here. He might as well treat her as air for this trip.
对面劳拉一个眼神过来，李皓珺秒懂。心想覃文静这丫头是真不想配合我演戏啊，被人家一下子就看出来我和她不只是工作关系。反正这里真的没有她什么职责，此行就当她是空气吧。
Then Li Haojun, Laura, and other store members got to know each other in the meeting room, communicating face-to-face about work responsibilities, experiences, and areas that needed improvement. Actually, it was not to solve any problems right away, but mainly for team members to get to know each other. The focus was that Li Haojun and Laura set up their permissions and certain data collection and transmission in the store management IT system together, in order to facilitate remote management and analysis of the situation.
接着李皓珺与劳拉还有其他门店成员在会议室相互熟悉了一下，面对面交流了一下工作中的职责，体验，感觉需要改进的地方。其实也不是为了上来就解决什么问题，主要是团队成员互相熟悉一下。重点是李皓珺与劳拉一同在门店管理IT系统中设置了自己的权限以及某些数据采集和传输，以便于远程管理和分析情况。
The afternoon passed quickly. When they came out of the store, the sun was already setting. They got into the flying taxi waiting in the opposite parking lot and left. On the left side of the aircraft was the red sun about to disappear behind the mountains. The undulating mountains presented a contrasting color tone of dark green and orange-red. The azure sky on the left was dyed red by the sunset glow, while the right side was deep and already showed faint stars.
一下午的时间很快就过去了，从门店出来已经夕阳西下，坐上已经对面停车场等候的飞行出租车离开，飞行器左侧正是行将隐没于山峦之后的红日。起伏的山脉，呈现出墨绿与橙红的对比色调，湛蓝的天空左侧被霞光染红，右侧深邃已经能够隐约见到点点繁星。
"This afternoon was very fulfilling," Li Haojun asked Qin Wenjing in the back seat. His original intention was that there was nothing for her to do; it was he who dragged her along to run around all afternoon. He said a sarcastic remark.
“这一下午很充实啊，” 李皓珺问后座的覃文静，他的本意是本来没有你的事，是我拉着你来跟着跑了一下午，他说了一句反话。
"Hmph, isn't it?! You saw so many big beauties and little beauties," Qin Wenjing emphasized her tone to tease Li Haojun.
“哼，可不是？！你见了那么多大美女小美女。” 覃文静加重语气调侃李皓珺，
"Hehehe," Li Haojun smiled and said again, "Jealous? I brought you along just to prevent myself from being seduced by them."
“嘿嘿嘿，”李皓珺笑了笑又说，“吃醋啦？我拉着你就是为了防止我被她们勾引到。”
"Hmph, narcissist," Qin Wenjing said, turning her head away and no longer looking at him.
“哼，臭美，”说着覃文静一扭头，不看他了。
Li Haojun also remained silent. He turned around in his seat, pulled down the tray table beside Qin Wenjing's seat, and took out the pre-ordered dinner.
李皓珺也不说话，回身转过座椅，拉开覃文静座椅旁边的桌板，拿出事先预定的晚餐，
"Look, this side is the stars," he said, waving his hand to point. "That side is the ocean. Dinner, um, very simple, but this restaurant is undisturbed. There is only you and me. Do you like it?" After speaking, Li Haojun looked at Qin Wenjing across from him.
“你看，这面是星辰，说着又挥手一指，那边是大海，晚餐，嗯，很简单，但是这餐厅无人打扰，只有你我，喜欢吗？”说完，李皓珺看着对面的覃文静，
Qin Wenjing said nothing. She silently looked at him for a long time, then softly said a sentence.
覃文静什么也没说，默默地望了他好一阵，轻声地说了一句，
"Um, I like it."
“嗯，喜欢，”
Li Haojun put on gloves, took a chicken leg out of the meal box, and handed it to Qin Wenjing's mouth.
李皓珺戴上手套，从餐盒里拿出一个鸡腿，递到覃文静嘴边，
Suddenly, the airflow over the mountain ridge shook the aircraft. Qin Wenjing smiled and said, "Stop messing around. Let's eat properly." With that, the two faced each other, sharing this aerial dinner.
忽然山脊的气流晃动了飞行器，覃文静一笑，“快别闹了，好好吃饭吧，”说着，两个人面对面，共享着这一空中晚餐。
The sun had already set, leaving only a streak of red sunset glow on the horizon. The stars in the night sky twinkled. Li Haojun and Qin Wenjing sat face to face in the teardrop-shaped panoramic cabin. The red and green flashing lights of the flying taxi reflected on their faces. They gazed at each other, as if in each other's eyes were their own stars and sea.
太阳已经落山，只剩天边一抹红霞。夜空繁星闪烁，李皓珺和覃文静面对面坐在水滴型的全景座舱里，飞行出租车的红绿频闪灯映衬在他们的脸上，互相凝视着对方，似乎对方的眼里就是自己的星辰大海。
