Chapter 107 Chapter 107 Spending Money Day 107
Ren Zhen is very efficient. Liu Yue had asked her to investigate who was spreading rumors that she was going to ban Teng Hua, and she soon got the result.
The rumor did originate from another agency, and the actor under their management was indeed in competition with Teng Hua. However, based on Ren Zhen's negotiations, they felt somewhat wronged.
Although suppressing Teng Hua was indeed out of their own interests, they also wanted to show goodwill to Liu Yue!
In the boss's mind, there were things Liu Yue couldn't say herself, and things she couldn't do herself, so they'd just do it for her. In the eyes of outsiders, Liu Yue could easily pass the blame on to him.
He didn't mind taking the blame for Liu Yue, but Liu Yue only needed to criticize him superficially to show off to others. Why did she listen to her assistant's wishes and really blame him?
Liu Yue: ...
No, how could he tell that she needed someone to help her do these things? Before this, she didn't even know him, let alone give him any hints or signals.
She didn't want to see the boss, so she asked Ren Zhen to convey her original words:
Don't be smart and self-willed and think you can guess her intentions. Don't try to "please" her without authorization - especially don't do anything in her name.
This was really annoying, and Liu Yue became even more annoyed when she thought that this might not be an isolated case, and she only knew about it because Jiang Qinian told her.
To give an inappropriate example - she felt like an ancient emperor who had done nothing, but local officials forged decrees, extorted taxes from her at every level, saying that they wanted to build palaces and temporary residences, but she had no idea about these things.
Fortunately, Sang Yu comforted her, saying that this was probably the only case.
After all, her identity was not exposed to the entire Internet, and not many people knew about it. What happened to Teng Hua was just a coincidence.
Liu Yue also hoped so. She didn't want anyone to take advantage of her outside while she was kept in the dark.
This was the end of the matter for her, and Liu Yue was not interested in knowing what happened next.
When she had nothing to do recently, she was thinking about her spending plans.
In the past, when she imagined how she would spend a large sum of money if she won it, she always felt a little uncertain, and had to remind herself that she might not win it.
But now, she really has 10 billion that can be exchanged at any time, and she no longer has to worry about the disappointment caused by unfulfilled expectations.
This realization made Liu Yue very happy, and she was also happy when spending small amounts of money.
By the way, since the Haute Couture Fashion Week, Liu Yue has won small amounts of ten thousand or one hundred thousand yuan in prizes while traveling in Africa.
Although this is not a bad thing for her, after all, it is not so convenient to spend money in Africa, but... Liu Yue still couldn't help but wonder, is it really affected by the mysterious metaphysical power?
Forget it, she still believes in materialistic science.
The existence of the system is not metaphysics, perhaps it is a higher level of science.
The estimated value of the luxury yacht did not come out so quickly. While waiting, Liu Yue drew 10 million.
She had a use for this money, which was just enough to pay for the renovation of the cat park, and there would still be tens of thousands of dollars left.
While she was traveling in Europe, her nanny took the designer to see houses. She contacted several companies and studios and obtained several versions of the renovation drawings.
This project, worth over 9 million yuan, was certainly worth bidding for. Her reputation for prompt payment and undelayed execution made her a renowned conscientious client in Shenzhen, no matter how many demands she made.
Liu Yue chose the most interesting design, which was also the most carefully crafted. The designer also has cats at home, and truly made the whole house cat-friendly. Every detail reflects the love for cats.
"We still have tens of thousands of dollars left... Let's go buy your friend some birthday presents."
Liu Yue said this while hugging Lucas.
She has friends, and Lucas certainly has friends too. When Liu Yue was traveling in Africa, her nanny took her for a walk and she got to know the Bichon Frise nearby.
When Liu Yue took it for a walk, Lucas would go find friends to play with by himself, and she also got to know the Bichon Frise's owner, Wei Siying.
Two days ago, Wei Siying sent her an invitation, saying that her Bichon Frise was about to celebrate its second birthday, and she was planning to hold a party and invited Liu Yue to bring Lucas to attend.
If Liu Yue herself was invited, she might not want to go, but the person invited was Lucas. As a parent, she must support her furry child's socializing and not let the kitten lose face in front of his friends.
Liu Yue even looked up Lucas's date of birth and discovered that he was born on December 31, right at the end of the year.
"When you turn one, I'll give you a big birthday party."
Liu Yue made a promise, but then she felt that this kind of thing could actually be done in advance - who says birthdays are the only days to celebrate? She can celebrate for her cat any day she wants.
The more Liu Yue thought about it, the more feasible it seemed to her. She decided to take Lucas to Bichon Frise's birthday party first to gain some experience in organizing pet parties. Later, she would also organize a few lively parties for Lucas and invite his friends to play with him.
However, this pet birthday party was not quite what Liu Yue had imagined.
She had assumed the place was full of pet owners, but she hadn't expected it to be anything like the wedding banquet she'd imagined. There were several tables set up in the hotel, a sign with a picture of a Bichon Frise at the entrance, and a registration area at the entrance.
When Liu Yue saw others leaving red envelopes when they came to register, she was stunned.
No...why didn’t Wei Siying tell her earlier? She didn’t prepare for this in advance!
Fortunately, Sang Yu had cash on him, and Ren Zhen asked the waiter for help to buy a red envelope. Liu Yue thought for a moment, considering the cost of the hotel banquet and the fact that she was bringing two people, and stuffed two thousand into the bag.
She really had no experience in this area - when she was a child, she went to banquets with her adoptive parents and didn't have to give anything. When she grew up, she had no relatives to visit, and her peers around her didn't get married so quickly, so she didn't quite know how much to give.
Anyway, it’s better to give more than less, it’s all for Lucas’s face.
This kind of Chinese banquet has fixed seats. Liu Yue and Wei Siying have only known each other for a short time and don’t know which table to sit at.
Fortunately, Wei Siying was there and she took her directly to the main table.
"This table is full of the parents of Jia Jia's friends. My parents are here too. The tables behind are full of my relatives, friends, and colleagues. I can greet them myself later."
"You hold Lucas first, and when it's time to eat, take him to the fenced area over there. I built a slide there, like a small pet park. I also prepared canned snacks for them. Don't worry, they're suitable for both cats and dogs."
Jia Jia is the name of the Bichon Frise. It is wearing clothes today and is being held in the arms of a kind female elder. That should be Wei Siying's mother, Jia Jia's grandmother.
Liu Yue looked around and saw that almost everyone at the table was holding a pet. Small dogs made up the majority, but there were also a few with cats. The largest pet in the room was a Maine Coon.
She also saw Cow Cats, Siamese Cats, and Abyssinian Cats, all of which are known to require a lot of exercise.
Jia Jia has a very wide circle of friends. Lucas didn’t know most of the pets here before.
Liu Yue was a little reserved when greeting the pet owners, but Lucas was not shy at all. As soon as she sat down, he started playing with the Siamese cat next to him.
Liu Yue had been sitting here for ten minutes, and before she even recognized all the guests' faces, Lucas took Jia Jia to the pet park to play. The two of them also took away all the pets on the table. It was like they were able to get a hundred pets to respond at once, and their appeal was extremely strong.
In fact, Liu Yue also wanted to go with them, but the pet park was relatively small and didn’t look like a place where humans could interact with cats and dogs, so she had to give up with regret.
When Wei Siying came over, she mentioned this to her.
Wei Siying said: "Well, I just had a sudden thought. I am a DINK and I don't believe in marriage. This means that I will never have a wedding banquet or a full moon banquet in this life. Then, all the red envelopes I gave out in the past few years will be wasted, right?"
"This time, for Jia Jia's birthday, besides wanting to celebrate it, I also want to get back all the money I gave out as gifts."
Liu Yue was amused after hearing this: "Are you sure you can make a profit by holding a banquet here?"
Wei Siying snorted, "That doesn't matter. I'm not really short of this little money, but I always feel like I'd be at a disadvantage if I didn't take it back. There are some membership fees I really don't want to give, but just for my parents' sake, I have to take it back from them even if I have to pay for it."
She whispered to Liu Yue again, saying that there was a relative at home who couldn't stand her being nice to Jia Jia, and often said in a sarcastic way that the dog had a happier life than humans, that it had to eat chicken legs for every meal, and that it was a waste to spend so much money on the dog, etc...
Wei Siying was very annoyed with him, so she simply found a very expensive and delicious hotel to hold the banquet, and the venue and dishes were better than his grandson's full moon banquet.
She can make money, so she's willing to treat the dog well. So what if he's unhappy? Feeling depressed? Just hold it in.
Liu Yue gave Wei Siying a thumbs up. Having this kind of mentality is great and you will succeed in everything you do.
The two chatted in low voices for a while, and Wei Siying took out Liu Yue's red envelope.
She tore off a corner to represent that she and Jiajia had received her blessings. She had to return the entire red envelope and the money inside to her. After all, Wei Siying had never given her any money before, so she felt embarrassed to take her red envelope for nothing.
"It's okay, this is for Jiajia." Liu Yue pushed it back.
Wei Siying pushed it towards her: "You really have to take it back. You already gave me a gift, I can't accept two cents."
"Oh, it's for the child, why are you so reserved?"
"Jia Jia, it's useless to ask for money. Take it back quickly, take it back..."
The two of them pushed and pulled each other to the extreme, and they both laughed when they looked at each other.
In the end, Liu Yue and Wei Siying reached a friendly agreement not to give each other any money. Friendship between animals is pure, so it's best not to mix it with the financial relationships of their parents.
Liu Yue said, "I want to throw a party for Lucas and let him be the star."
Wei Siying supported her idea very much. In fact, halfway through the birthday party, she felt a little regretful, thinking that competing with relatives was more formal than meaningful; but at that time all her invitations had been sent out, and it was too late to make any changes at the last minute.
"You must treat me."
Wei Siying carried Jia Jia to other tables to toast, and did not forget to remind Liu Yue before leaving.
Liu Yue nodded. After she finished her meal and returned home, she began to think about this.
First of all, the venue must be large, and it is best to have an outdoor lawn...where cats and dogs can run freely.
Jia Jia's friends are all small dogs or cats, but Lucas has a wider range of friends. He knows Border Collies, German Shepherds, and Alaskan Malams. These dogs are quite large, so the scene may have to be divided into two areas.
Although dogs that can be taken out for walks and make friends with Lucas are usually more stable, just in case, Liu Yue still thinks that the two pets should be separated according to shoulder height and body size.
Of course, the host of the party, Lucas the social bull, can move freely in and out of both areas, and Liu Yue has full confidence in its athletic ability.
Liu Yue told her requirements for the venue, and Sang Yu went to help her select a suitable location.
There are not many planning companies that can be found for pet parties, but Sang Yu searched based on wedding keywords and found a lot of them. There are plenty of options to choose from.
What, no experience?
After seeing Liu Yue's quotation, even people who have never kept a pet will study the habits of cats and dogs overnight and instantly become pet experts.
This party A gave really too much.
She just wanted to hold a pet party for her cat, so of course we should satisfy her!
Driven by money, several planning companies were extremely efficient and quickly helped her find a suitable venue.
This place is often used for lawn weddings, and the person in charge is very experienced. The space is spacious, the lawn is very green, the surrounding transportation is convenient, the scenery is beautiful, and except for the price, there is nothing wrong with it.
Of course, from Liu Yue's perspective, the latter cannot be considered a problem, and it doesn't even need to be taken into consideration. This is the perfect location.
The venue cost tens of thousands of dollars, and the on-site layout was also quite expensive.
There were big screens at weddings, and Liu Yue wanted to get one for Lucas. She had taken lots of photos of the kitten, and they would play them on the big screen so that all of its friends could see what it looked like when it was little.
Forget about the balloons. Liu Yue was worried that some cats and dogs would pop them out of curiosity. The loud popping sound would scare the pets and cause them to become stressed. What would she do then?
In addition to a sufficiently spacious space, Liu Yue also plans to place some pet toys.
Although she is willing to play with Lucas all day, objectively speaking, her physical strength is not enough... She believes that many parents have the same idea as her, so it is better to let the pets find some ways to play on their own.
This matter can be left to Sang Yu, but Liu Yue still decided to go to the pet toy store to choose the products herself.
For her, this was not tiring work, but rather something fun. She had been lying in bed for many days since returning from Africa, and the thought of hosting a party for Lucas had rekindled her interest and enthusiasm.
Since it is a place that sells pet supplies, pets are of course allowed to enter.
Liu Yue held the leash in her hand and let Lucas explore the store freely. He chose his own, while Liu Yue chose the one for the party.
"Hey, don't go to the canned food section. You only go out after you're full."
Liu Yue rarely buys canned food for Lucas because the nanny at home can make it. He eats freshly cooked food every meal, so why would he be so greedy for canned food outside?
Logically speaking, the can is sealed and you can't smell anything inside.
Liu Yue was pulled over there by Lucas's power, and it turned out to be a rabbit fur toy.
Since Lucas liked it, Liu Yue asked the store clerk to take him to the play area. Lucas couldn't let go of the rabbit fur toy, rolling around on the ground with it and even carrying it in his mouth for a few laps.
"Really? It seems you like the fresher taste of rabbit."
Liu Yue has a lot of rabbit fur toys at home, but Lucas's liking for them is always intermittent, so she thought he was tired of them.
It turns out that it has become accustomed to the original taste and has lost interest in the "prey" that it has caught but cannot eat. Only when new "prey" appears will the kitten become excited.
Liu Yue seemed to be lost in thought. She reminded Sang Yu to buy more of these Fengrong toys. In addition to rabbit fur, other animal scent pheromone toys could also be tried. She should also replace Lucas with new ones every day.
If the variety of toys sold on the market is not complete, then go for custom-made ones. As long as you spend money, there is nothing these manufacturers can't do.
Lucas was playing and Liu Yue was shopping with a shopping cart.
You must buy cat scratching posts of various shapes, a few pet running wheels, and a Frisbee. You must also buy more chewing toys to ensure that each pet has one, so there is no need for everyone to fight over it...
As for snacks and canned food, Liu Yue had no plans to buy them. She had other plans and had the chef and nanny prepare them freshly. Since they were already attending the party, how could she let Lucas's guests eat pre-prepared meals?
Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you. Lucas also wants to save face outside.
Liu Yue was immersed in shopping when the clerk suddenly called its name in a panic.
What's going on? Liu Yue didn't even bother with the shopping cart and ran to the play area.
There was originally a door in that area, but Lucas appeared outside the door and played with Alaska, who had just entered the store.
Although Alaska is large in size, judging from the situation, it should be safe.
Liu Yue breathed a sigh of relief. She was really scared just now.
The clerk quickly apologized to her, saying that she was careless when she went in and out and did not close the door in time. She did not expect Lucas to be so agile that he could jump out from inside in just a short gap.
"You really have to be more careful next time."
Liu Yue said with a straight face, "This time it was the good-tempered Alaskan. What if it's the Caucasian next time?"
Even large dogs have to be kept on a leash in the city, but for dogs like the Caucasian Shepherd, if they really charge, even their unprepared owners may not be able to hold them back.
Cases of large dogs attacking small dogs were not uncommon in the past few years. Although Lucas has strong social skills, Liu Yue does not think he has the Mary Sue aura of a dog fan.
The clerk bowed and apologized again. Liu Yue didn't really want to embarrass her, so she waved her hand and let her leave.
She walked over and picked up Lucas, and said sorry to the dog owner. Her cat is too active. Lucas rushed out just now. Alaska is fine, but he was scared.
Liu Yue said: "What kind of dog food does your dog usually eat? I'll buy it a few bags. I'm really sorry."
"No, no, I'm not the dog owner, I'm just helping walk the dog."
The boy looked at the dog and cat on the ground: "But they seem very familiar with each other - have they known each other before?"
Oh, that’s true.
Liu Yue thought that Lucas would chat with any strange dog he met, but when she looked at this Alaskan, she felt that it looked more and more familiar, as if she had seen it before.
She remembered that Lucas and the dog did know each other.
This was the first friend Lucas made in the garden downstairs, and the dog owner even invited her to his home. But unfortunately, the dog owner was temporarily assigned to Beijing for work and would not be back for several months.
Calculating the time...it has indeed been several months.
Liu Yue opened her phone and scrolled to her Moments. She had added the dog owner on WeChat. Although she didn't know his name, she had added the note "Pig's Parent."
That’s right, the name of this Alaskan dog is Pig… Looking at its size, it really lives up to its name.
Zhuzhu's parent's circle of friends is also visible for three days, but he posted a photo of his dog walking in the park yesterday, and Liu Yue recognized it as Talent Park.
Alaska's size and the coordinates of its parents all match, so this dog is indeed a pig.
No wonder Lucas rushed out in such a hurry, it turned out that he met an old friend.
So, she had misunderstood the clerk. Liu Yue felt a little embarrassed and went to apologize to her.
The clerk blushed. "No, no, no, no matter what the situation, the door to the play area must be kept closed at all times. I was wrong..."
Well, Liu Yue decided to buy more things, hoping that she could earn more commission.
While paying the bill, she also sent a message to Zhuzhu's parents, inviting him to bring his dog to Lucas's party.
After asking about the time and place, the other party happily agreed and said that she felt really sorry for standing her up before.
Liu Yue didn't care about this. Who could have thought of a job transfer? This was a force majeure situation.
"Let's go, Piggy."
Liu Yue hugged the cat and said goodbye to Alaska. "Come and play with our Lucas when the time comes. I know you can eat, so I will prepare plenty of food for you."
Alaska pig... No, Alaska seems to really understand it, it's even nodding.
Sure enough, not a pound of meat on its body appeared out of thin air.
On the day of the party, Liu Yue definitely fulfilled her promise.
She found a freezer and trays for the spicy hot pot where you can choose your own ingredients, and filled them with fresh food. Taking into account the gastrointestinal tolerance of different cats and dogs, she also thoughtfully divided the area into raw meat, cooked meat and vegetable areas.
On the raw meat side, there are fresh chicken, duck, beef, salmon, and various offal.
If you are choosing cat food for your cat, you only need to choose meat. If you are making dog food, you can also add some vegetables on the side. Parents can choose whatever they want to eat or what they like.
When He Zhiyuan led Alaska over, he could feel that this guy's saliva was almost flowing out two miles.
"Take it easy, okay?" he said to the dog. "If you show off three pounds of beef here and leave the other cats and dogs with nothing to eat, I'll be embarrassed."
He Zhiyuan felt a little regretful. If he had known the party was going to be so luxurious, he should have brought a red envelope.
With Alaska's appetite, it would be easy for him to appear to be taking advantage of the situation by bringing his dog over to eat and drink...
"It's okay."
Alaska did not respond. He Zhiyuan heard a girl next to him say this.
He looked up and was stunned when he saw Liu Yue.
Liu Yue smiled and said, "Don't worry, I took the pig's appetite into full consideration when preparing the ingredients. Let it eat as much as it wants."
After she said this, she noticed that there was something wrong with He Zhiyuan's expression.
Eh...why is he staring at her? That's weird.
