She felt that he and his mother had a similar temperament, so she was bored and wanted to play on her phone.

But taking out his phone to play now seems a bit disrespectful to Gu Rongqi's mother.

I was planning to go home early today and cook a meal for Gu Rongqi! It seems I won't be able to do this rare act of kindness.

She glanced at Qianzhi and exclaimed how beautiful she was and how young she looked; no wonder she could give birth to such a handsome son as Gu Rongqi.

Qianzhi frowned unhappily when he noticed that she kept staring at him.

When the coffee was served, Chihiro held the cup by the handle and took a sip.

The taste was so bad that she took one sip and put it down.

Cheng Qicai also took a small sip of the coffee. The bitter taste made her mind clearer.

Now that the coffee has arrived, the two should start talking, but Qianzhi's leisurely attitude makes her daydream.

Cheng Qicai was thinking about how much to fill in if Qianzhi took out a check and asked her to fill it in later.

Filling in all nines seems a bit provocative.

Gu Liji had previously asked him when he was testing him, and it seemed like they could accept 300 million.

Now she earns much more money than before, so her net worth is naturally higher. She should ask for more money and take a gamble to turn her bicycle into a luxury car.

Maybe Gu Rongqi's mother will try to negotiate the price. If we cut the price in half, it wouldn't be unreasonable for her to ask for 500 million.

Five hundred million!

"What?" Qianzhi frowned even more. She had originally wanted to test Cheng Qicai's emotions, but she noticed that her mind was not on this at all. Instead, she was lost in thought and didn't know what she was thinking.

"It's nothing, Auntie, go ahead." Cheng Qicai was a little embarrassed. She had been thinking too much and had accidentally blurted out her little secret.

The other person hasn't even taken out the check yet! And I'm already getting excited.

Qianzhi looked at her and said, "I've come to find you, and I'm sure you know why."

Cheng Qicai nodded directly, "I know, you came here to make me break up with Gu Rongqi."

"..."

In reality, Qian Zhilai didn't mean it that way. Although she looked down on Cheng Qicai, she knew that it was Gu Rongqi who pursued her. Moreover, given Rongqi's personality, knowing that they had used tricks to make her break up with him would only worsen their already strained relationship.

As for why he came, Gu Lubo said that what Gu Liji said in the office that day wasn't entirely without merit.

It's obvious that Gu Liji's mind is only on eating, drinking, and having fun; he's utterly useless.

Having such an excellent successor as Gu Rongqi, it was indeed hard to give up on them, but they weren't really willing to agree to it either.

So she only wanted to come and see Cheng Qicai today. She thought Cheng Qicai would be very nervous and anxious, but she was surprised by how calmly she accepted it.

Qianzhi nodded frankly at her, "Yes, I want you to break up with Rongqi."

She wanted to see how Cheng Qicai would react.

Cheng Qicai rubbed her hands together inwardly. She knew she was right; after reading novels for so many years, she finally had a chance to put her skills to use.

Instantly, Cheng Qicai straightened her back and looked at Qian Zhi seriously, "Rong Qi and I are true love."

"So...?" Qianzhi frowned, unable to understand what she meant by that.

Should I tell her how deeply they love each other? That won't move her.

No matter how much they loved each other in the beginning, it didn't stop them from growing to hate each other later on.

Cheng Qicai looked at her hesitantly, "Auntie, the terms you're offering will be higher, right..."

"What?" Qianzhi didn't understand what she meant, but suddenly remembered what she had just blurted out. She looked at Cheng Qicai with a sharp gaze, "You want 500 million?"

"Um!"

The "hmm" sounded firm on the surface, but she was actually feeling uneasy inside.

Hearing this amount, Qianzhi almost laughed in exasperation, "What makes you think you're worth 500 million?"

“It’s not me who’s worth 500 million, it’s Gu Rongqi who’s worth 500 million!” Cheng Qicai said matter-of-factly. “If he were to marry into the family, the value he would bring to Ou Qi would be more than 500 million, but a continuous stream of 500 million. I don’t think it’s too much for me to ask for 500 million, Auntie.”

For the first time, Qianzhi looked at her seriously and scrutinized her intently.

Just for the fact that she had the courage to ask her for 500 million.

Qianzhi looked at her coldly, "500 million is impossible."

Cheng Qicai wasn't surprised to be rejected, as she had already asked for a high price. "So, Auntie, what's your expected price range?"

Qianzhi didn't have this problem. After thinking for a moment, she said, "5 million."

"5 million? Auntie, you're so stingy." Cheng Qicai said incredulously, her eyes filled with disdain.

What happened to the promised 50/50 split?! All these "50/50" splits, I have no idea where the 50/50 went.

In the past, she would probably have been overjoyed.

But now, humph, she scoffs.

This 5 million is less than what Lu Qi leaked to her. Even if Lu Qi didn't give her any extra, with the business of her shop, she could still make money; it would just take a while.

If someone offered her 5 million yuan when she graduated, she'd probably nod her head off in delight.

Now that she's really getting better, she even feels like she's not getting enough. It seems like people's desires really do grow! She's starting to look like a capitalist.

Seeing Cheng Qicai's expression, Qianzhi took a deep breath.

She never imagined she would see someone looking at her with that expression again.

Qianzhi's eyes grew even colder. "What, you think it's not enough?"

"It's not that..." Cheng Qicai realized that her reaction just now was a bit too real, and her tone softened, "It's just that Gu Rongqi is so outstanding. You think if I break up with him, it will be hard to find a boyfriend like him. My mental health will definitely suffer... There will be breakup fees, compensation for emotional distress, lost wages... There will be so much!"
