"That's too much, you don't need so much."

Ye Qingqing suppressed her heartache and resolutely turned away the one million. Who could do that?

She really admires me!

However, she didn't want to do a one-off deal with the richest man; a long-term, steady relationship was the best approach. Moreover, she was counting on the richest man to help Lu Mo's company out. The most important thing in running a company is connections, and a word from Zhuang Shicheng was worth far more than a million dollars.

However, consultation fees must be charged, but one cannot appear too profit-driven; a delicate balance must be struck.

"Including the cost of medicine and consultation, it's 50,000 per young master. You can give me 100,000, otherwise the price bureau will have to talk to me," Ye Qingqing joked, though her heart ached.

Although it's only one zero short, the difference is enormous; a million could buy several houses!

Zhuang Shicheng looked surprised, but quickly smiled, his eyes filled with appreciation. At Ye Qingqing's age, he couldn't be so indifferent to money. This girl has a really good character. It's a pity she's too young, otherwise he would really like to take her as his daughter-in-law.

“Alright, Miss Ye, please feel free to ask if you need anything in the future. I still have some influence with you,” Zhuang Shicheng promised.

Ye Qingqing's heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was about to jump out of her throat. The richest man's promise was worth more than ten million dollars. This deal was a huge win!

"I won't stand on ceremony."

Ye Qingqing smiled and said, "I'm not making excuses. Only a fool would refuse." Lu Mo exchanged a few pleasantries, then took his leave.

Once outside the farmhouse, Wuchen called out to Ye Qingqing, "Don't forget the vegetarian meal at Dafosi Temple!"

She was exhausted just now and needs to replenish herself. The vegetarian food at Dafosi Temple was just right; she hadn't had it in a long time.

"Let's go eat tomorrow," Ye Qingqing casually agreed.

The temples are very busy on the first day of the Lunar New Year, so there's definitely no chance to eat. Tomorrow is the 30th of the lunar month, and everyone is busy celebrating the New Year, so there shouldn't be many people at the temples. We'll have Mr. Tang talk to the monks then, and we should be able to get a meal.

Mr. Tang's vegetarian food is also very good, so he has a relationship with the monks who make vegetarian food at Dafosi Temple, so he can definitely get a meal from them.

Wuchen immediately quieted down and stopped bothering Ye Qingqing. Although the child was naughty, she was easy to fool as long as she was fed and played well.

They soon got home. Tian Tian and Xiao Tong were playing Go. Zhu Zi smiled gently at his sister, but quickly turned into an icy expression. Ye Qingqing took out a check and said to him, "We'll split the 100,000 yuan fifty-fifty. I'll go to the bank tomorrow to withdraw it for you."

Actually, Wuchen deserves the most credit, but the child isn't interested in money, so let her keep it and use it to buy the child delicious food.

"casual!"

Zhu Zi didn't look at the check; her attention was on the worm. Almost an hour had passed, and the worm that Zhuang Zidong had taken out of his body was still very energetic, making fierce noises.

"Didn't you say that the Gu worms would die within an hour of leaving their host? How come they're still so energetic?" Ye Qingqing couldn't tell at all that the two worms were about to die; they were clearly in good spirits.

Zhu Zi stroked her chin, looking at the Gu worm with great interest, and after a long while said, "Because they have mutated, but they will die sooner or later!"

A grub that leaves its host will die unless it is fed with the host's blood.

But before that, there's still something to be done with these two grubs.

Zhu Zi touched her chin, grinned, ran back to her room, fiddled with something for a while, and then came downstairs with a small, dark jar in her hand.

"What are you going to do?" Ye Qingqing asked, puzzled.

Zhu Zi ignored her, placed the small jar on the table, opened the cloth bag, poured the worms into the jar, quickly put the lid back on, and smiled mysteriously, "Giving Old Ghost a New Year's gift!"
