Chapter 233 His Goodness
Xiao Cheng looked at the girl's pained expression and chuckled, "You're number eight, I'm number two."
Bai Lu was stunned: "Are you sure you meant 'You're stupid, I'm idiot'? Not 'You're idiot, I'm stupid'?"
Xiao Cheng nodded slightly: "Confirmed."
"That won't do!"
Bai Lu was flattered and completely baffled: "You cleared away the obstacle that was Li Chengbin, and the teaching of roasted chestnuts was also carried out by the brothers you found. They can avoid a lot of trouble and make the teaching process smoother than ordinary people. A 50/50 split is the most suitable."
"It's only right that you take half."
Xiao Cheng didn't care about right or wrong, only about "two-eight split".
Bai Lu: "..."
If Xiao Cheng's refusal to sell the electric chestnut roasting machine was an act of treating money like dirt, then...
So now, he's a complete spendthrift, or rather, a spendthrift tycoon!
Bai Lu was genuinely curious about what this generous spender was thinking, so she took action and directly asked, "Why the 20/80 split?"
Xiao Cheng met the girl's bright and curious eyes, raised his eyebrows slightly, and parted his thin lips slightly.
"Didn't you just say you wanted to make lots and lots of money?"
I mean you make a lot of money!
Moreover, you could make a lot of money selling electric chestnut roasting machines, but you don't want to!
Bai Lu felt sorry for the big shot: "Although I also want to make a lot of money, I don't want to do it this way. You have to be fair and just. What's yours is yours, and what's mine is mine. You can't mess up the rules of cooperation."
Xiao Cheng replied, "It's all the same."
Bai Lu: "..."
What an amazing answer!
What kind of "big shot" response would you give if someone treated money like dirt?
"Fame and money come quickly, but they also go quickly," Xiao Cheng said in a low voice, without any emotional fluctuation.
Bai Lu poured him a perfectly brewed cup of tea and said with a smile, "A good reputation is also a skill."
Xiao Cheng was slightly taken aback. He looked up and met the girl's clear and sincere eyes, which showed no hint of flattery. The gloom and darkness deep in his heart were swept away inch by inch.
She never judges people or the truth with her own eyes, never listens to rumors or gossip, and never follows the crowd.
She has the ability to distinguish right from wrong, and can see through appearances to the essence of things, giving people unprecedented affirmation.
It's hard to imagine what kind of family could raise such a well-educated, intelligent, and sensible woman.
The girl's figure in Xiao Cheng's eyes grew farther and farther away, becoming increasingly blurry, under the bright sunlight...
“Two-eighths,” he suddenly said.
Bai Lu was amused by the boss's stubbornness: "You're going to lose out too much by doing this, it won't work."
Xiao Cheng said, "Okay."
"How can this be? This isn't right..." Bai Lu looked distressed, as if she hadn't earned the reward.
"How about we split it 30/70?"
Xiao Cheng chuckled and nodded: "Okay."
Thirty-five thousand yuan, split 30/70, means: Bai Luyuan and Xiao Chengyuan.
Bai Lu quickly redistributed the money, beaming, and handed it to the big boss with both hands.
Since we can't refuse the big shot's kindness, let's not refuse it. Who would complain about having too much money?
Anyway, she won't.
This time, Xiao Cheng did not refuse. He casually put down the empty teacup, took the money, and got up to go back to his room.
Bai Lu thought he had gone back to hide the money.
The next second, the big shot came out with cotton swabs and ointment and sat down in front of her.
He pinched her chin with one hand, his deep, dark eyes staring at the corner of her mouth, his brows furrowing.
With her other hand, which had distinct knuckles, she unscrewed the cap of the ointment and dabbed it with a cotton swab.
Bai Lu watched helplessly as the cotton swab approached her lips before realizing she should refuse: "I can do it myself."
As he spoke, he reached out to take the cotton swab.
Xiao Cheng used the back of his hand to push her hand away, his deep eyes fixed on the wound at the corner of her mouth, his gaze slightly cold.
His tone was cold: "Who bit me?"
Bai Lu decided not to save face for him and decisively replied, "You were drunk last night."
Xiao Cheng was slightly taken aback. Looking at Bai Lu's innocent face, the little coldness in his eyes completely vanished.
"If there's a next time, you can wake me up."
Bai Lu was stunned by the boss's serious tone for a while. After the ointment was gently applied to the corner of her mouth, she came to her senses and explained, "Actually, it doesn't hurt much. It's just a small cut. It will be fine in a couple of days."
Xiao Cheng looked at the unhealed red mark on the girl's lips and gently scraped away the excess ointment with his finger.
"Don't get hurt."
The undisguised tenderness in her voice made Bai Lu's eardrums vibrate, and her heart stirred slightly.
She slightly raised her eyes and looked at Xiao Cheng's cold and stern face, his earnest and instructive manner, and his gentle yet slightly clumsy movements as he applied the medicine. Her heart pounded involuntarily, as fast as a drumbeat.
Bai Lu is never moved by a few words; her heart only races at the sight of sincerity.
Bai Lu's mother once said that whether a man treats you well or not is not determined by what he says, but by what he does. Anyone can say sweet words; they come out of their mouths without any cost.
Only through action can one truly act from the heart, willingly and selflessly thinking of you without expecting anything in return.
There are many standards for judging what is good and what is bad; the difference between keeping it in your heart and saying it is the most genuine.
Bai Lu wasn't blind to Xiao Cheng's good qualities; she simply had reservations and deliberately ignored them, refusing to verify them.
Time and again, she knew about supplements, clothes, electric chestnut roasting machines, and even longer ago.
If he doesn't say anything, she simply ignores it even more completely.
But sometimes, accidents happen unexpectedly, leaving Bailu no choice but to ignore them.
Just like last night...
Xiao Cheng saw Bai Lu suddenly lower her eyelashes, and a faint blush appeared on her flawless white face.
If he hadn't finished applying the ointment and wanted to check other areas of her body, he would have almost been unable to see clearly because he was so close.
Xiao Cheng couldn't remember how long it had been since she had been shy in front of him. Or perhaps he could remember, but he was simply distracted by the girl's charming and captivating demeanor.
I can't remember anything.
As soon as Xiao Wei opened the door, he saw two figures sitting face to face in the main room, very close together.
Very close.
The older brother's hand was pinching his sister-in-law's chin, and he was looking closely at something, seemingly at her lips. He couldn't see clearly, so he kept getting closer and closer.
No, it doesn't seem to be about the lips.
Instead, I want kisses...kiss kisses!!!
It looks like the older brother is about to kiss his sister-in-law!
But as soon as he opened the door, the noise was so loud that his older brother and sister-in-law hadn't even kissed yet... when they both looked over.
Xiao Wei wanted to disappear on the spot.
The sister-in-law was stunned, but the brother's eyes were terrifying, so frightening, as if he wanted to kill someone.
He might have gone to the wrong door. Maybe he should go out for a walk and come back later.
Xiao Wei quickly retreated with his small schoolbag on his back, went out, and closed the door in one smooth motion.
Yes, that's right, he hasn't gotten home yet.
Xiao Cheng: "..."
Bai Lu: "..."
"It looks like we can make lunch now. We haven't picked the vegetables yet. I'll go to the garden and pick some."
As Xiao Cheng watched the girl run off to the backyard, a slight smile appeared on his lips, and his deep eyes rippled with amusement.
