Chapter 764 She Needs to Flirt with the Boss
As soon as Le Yan got home, she lay down on her favorite carpet in the living room and rolled around a few times.
"My beloved carpet, my beloved house, Mom will never abandon you again..."
Le Yan rolled around a few more times before sitting up and taking out her phone to call Lin Xiangyu.
Lin Xiangyu answered quickly, presumably also waiting for her message.
"Yangyang, how is she?"
Le Yan smiled and said, "Tell Brother Sheng that I also need some dried radish, and ask him to make more in the next couple of days so you can bring it with you when you come to Beicheng!"
On the other end, Lin Xiangyu hesitated for a moment, then couldn't help but blurt out in a high-pitched voice, "No way, it really worked? Summoning Star, is it really Summoning Star?"
“That’s right!” Le Yan said with a grin, “Attorney Shen made the connection, and Huanxing agreed to sign a half contract with me. Moreover, Huanxing will also pay the liquidated damages that Xing Zheng and I need to pay.”
"Really?!" Lin Xiangyu covered her mouth and screamed, "Am I really not dreaming?!"
"Lin Xiangyu, this isn't a dream, your sister-in-law is about to become rich!"
"Hahaha! That's great! I knew it, I knew it... Waaah, I knew that with your hard work, how could God not feel sorry for you..."
"Alright, this is a good thing, why are you crying!"
"They're just touched!" Lin Xiangyu sniffed and then asked, "So when will Huanxing start arranging work for you?"
"We haven't officially terminated our contract with Xing Zheng yet, and we still need to sign a new contract after that, which will take at least a month."
"Oh, why don't you come back first? Just think of it as a relaxing vacation, otherwise what if your mom and the others come looking for you in Beicheng again?"
Le Yan paused for a moment.
We definitely tried to find her, but the security in her community is very good, and outside vehicles cannot enter without the owner's permission.
"No, they can only contact me if I'm willing to talk to them!" Le Yan said casually, not mentioning that Xu Chengyang had just called, not wanting Lin Xiangyu to worry.
"Okay, then you stay home and behave yourself for the next couple of days. Order takeout and try to stay home as much as possible. I'll come over to keep you company as soon as possible."
"No rush, it will take at least two days for Brother Sheng's pickled radish to be ready!"
"You're always thinking about your dried radish!"
"That's right, my brother Sheng's preserved radish is the most delicious food in the world!"
Lin Xiangyu asked jealously, "What about my xiaolongbao?"
"You two can tie for first place, right?"
"Fine, Sheng-ge raised you with great difficulty, I'll let him have it!"
The two chatted for a while longer before hanging up.
After hanging up the phone, Le Yan sat on the sofa covered with a dust cover and turned on the TV.
The anger she felt was suddenly gone, and she was really not used to it.
While watching TV, my thoughts drifted upstairs...
After being saved by the big shot, her life seemed to take a dramatic turn, and everything suddenly became smooth sailing.
The people of Mincheng are very devout to the gods. As far back as Leyan can remember, every month on the first and fifteenth of the lunar calendar, she would see the village women carrying offerings and incense to the Mazu Temple in town to pray for peace, good fortune, and favorable weather.
Quanhai Town has more than a dozen coastal villages of varying sizes, most of which rely on the sea for their livelihood. In recent years, with government support, several villages have been transformed into tourist areas. As a result, there are more tourists, more homestays, and the economy has been boosted, while the number of fishermen has gradually decreased.
However, the religious culture passed down through generations remains deeply rooted in the hearts of the locals.
Le Yan grew up in Quanhai Town and was influenced by her surroundings, so she was more religious than most young people.
When Le Yan was thirteen, a traveling fortune teller passed through Quanhai Town and set up a fortune-telling stall. Le Yan was just passing by when he stopped her.
The fortune teller said she has a peony-like destiny of wealth and nobility, with her career and marriage being inseparable. He also predicted that she would meet benefactors at the ages of thirteen and twenty-three, both of which would bring her major turning points in life!
Le Yan was about to leave, but upon hearing this, she became interested, squatted down, and excitedly asked, "What else?"
And there's more...
The fortune teller cast another divination for her, his expression changing. He said she was someone with weak ties to her family, because she was born into this world through someone else's destiny. Those who gave her birth hated her, and those who raised her suffered because of her. Her life would be very exciting, but she would face a tribulation at the age of 26. If she could overcome it, her life would be happy and smooth from then on; if she couldn't, her life would end at the age of 26...
Le Yan was so frightened that she burst into tears, squatting in front of the fortune teller's stall and wailing. Lin Minsheng heard the noise and rushed over, angrily chasing the fortune teller away!
On the way back, Lin Minsheng, this honest man, told her for the first time in a very serious manner: "Yangyang, that's a charlatan. If he could really predict fate, why would he need to travel around setting up a fortune-telling stall?"
Le Yan's uneasy heart was soothed by Lin Minsheng's words.
She was still young, and soon forgot about that incident.
However, six months later, the director of her first film went to Quanhai Town to gather material and happened to see Le Yan waiting for Lin Minsheng at the dock.
The director found out about the family. Lin Minsheng initially disagreed with Le Yan making a movie, but Lin Xiuying wouldn't let this opportunity pass. Despite Lin Minsheng's objections, she took thirteen-year-old Le Yan and went to Beicheng with the director.
From then on, Le Yan began her career in the entertainment industry.
That year happened exactly the same time the fortune teller had predicted.
The director of that film made Yue Yan a star. With her role as 'Little Reed' in that film, Yue Yan won her first and best award to date—the Best Newcomer Award.
Lin Minsheng said that fortune telling is a scam.
However, the older Leyan got, the more she felt that fate could actually be predicted.
At least, the points the fortune teller predicted have all come true so far...
Therefore, she believes more in the fate between people and firmly believes in the idea that there are mutual influences and conflicts between people.
Therefore, after carefully reflecting on the series of changes that had occurred in recent days, Le Yan finally confirmed one thing—
"That big shot upstairs is my benefactor!"
Since he's a benefactor, we definitely need to visit him more often and cultivate a good relationship!
With that thought, Le Yan immediately perked up!
She thought, "The boss really liked the xiaolongbao I made last time and accepted it readily, so that must mean he really likes this kind of snack."
But Lin Xiangyu isn't here right now, and making xiaolongbao is too difficult for her.
Or, could she make some wontons?
Small wontons are also one of Lin Xiangyu's specialties. The wrapping method is simple. Every time Lin Xiangyu wraps some, she will also wrap some. It's just... how to make the meat filling again?
Le Yan was a woman of action, and she immediately called Lin Xiangyu.
Lin Xiangyu was shocked to hear that she wanted to make the wontons herself.
Leyan was too embarrassed to say that she wanted to give the gift to Mr. Big Boss, so she said that she was bored at home alone and since she had nothing better to do, she would make some wontons to pass the time.
Lin Xiangyu didn't think much of it and asked Le Yan to buy all the ingredients first. Then she taught her step by step via video.
Le Yan went directly to the community's fresh food supermarket to buy ingredients. After going upstairs, she turned on the video call, and Lin Xiangyu taught her how to prepare the minced meat step by step.
Leyan studied very hard. She is quite smart. Although she doesn't have much talent for cooking, she can still do a pretty good job when taught step by step like this.
After preparing the meat filling, Le Yan asked Lin Xiangyu to hang up the video call, and she sat down to focus on making small wontons.
Leyan hummed a little tune as she slowly wrapped the wontons, thoroughly enjoying herself.
After we finished wrapping everything up, I checked the time and it was already 7:30 pm!
The boss should have already gone home by now, right?
Leyan hurriedly packed up the wontons and went out.
The elevator came up from below and stopped on the 27th floor.
The double doors slowly opened, and Le Yan's foot, which she had instinctively raised, paused.
Inside the elevator, Fu Nian'an and Gong Qianyu stood side by side, their gazes falling directly on Le Yan's face.
