Yan Yue wanted him to pay all the money, and Lu Lingxi didn't have to pay a penny. He would only invest in technology. Of course, he would not take the 300,000 yuan in the bank card, and would only consider it as his initial investment. But Lu Lingxi disagreed with this proposal, and insisted that they should each pay half of the money, and Yan Yue should take the majority of the shares of Micro Gardening. Lu Lingxi felt that he had already taken advantage of it. To put it bluntly, the money in his hands actually belonged to Yan Yue.
When others cooperate, they are afraid of being at a disadvantage, but when two people cooperate, they are afraid of the other party being at a disadvantage. After a lot of shoving and pushing, Lu Lingxi couldn't win over Yan Yue, so he had to take a step back and agree that they would each take half. After discussing the cooperation, Lu Lingxi found a piece of white paper, carefully wrote an agreement, signed it and handed it to Yan Yue. Yan Yue had already figured out the rules of getting along with the boy, so he simply put away the agreement. Sure enough, he saw the boy curved his eyes at him, revealing a faint dimple at the corner of his mouth.
Yan Yue's heart moved, and he wanted to go over and kiss the boy immediately, but when he met the boy's clear eyes, he suppressed the impulse in his heart.
Lu Lingxi didn't delay and called Du Lin immediately. Du Lin had been waiting for his news and was very happy to hear that Lu Lingxi was going to take over the store. She came over immediately to hand over some procedures.
Lu Lingxi held the phone and asked Yan Yue in a low voice, "Brother Yan, do you have time later? Sister Du is coming over." Since they were working together, Lu Lingxi felt that it would be best for them to do these things together to prevent any conflicts or disagreements in the future.
Yan Yue was eager to stay with Lu Lingxi for a while longer and nodded slightly.
Du Lin came very quickly, and Zhang Hua came with her. The two were rushing back to their hometown, thinking of getting everything done today. In addition to the handover on the micro-gardening side, there was also a small flower garden in the suburbs that Lu Lingxi needed to take a look at. When they first saw Yan Yue, they were both stunned. When Du Lin heard Lu Lingxi call him Brother Yan, she was a little confused about Yan Yue's identity. When she heard Lu Lingxi say on the phone that he was cooperating with others, she was actually a little worried that Lu Lingxi would be cheated, but after taking a look at Yan Yue's car parked at the door, Du Lin felt relieved. How much did it cost to buy the entire micro-gardening? It was not even one-tenth of the car at the door. Yan Yue really didn't need to calculate Lu Lingxi.
There was no objection to the handover between the two parties, and the agreement was signed quickly. Yan Yue let Lu Lingxi handle the whole process, and he just nodded. Zhang Hua was happy to get the money, and said with a smile: "Let's go, it's still early, let's go see the flower garden." He drove a small Jinbei over, and it was no problem to pick up a few people.
While Lu Lingxi was locking the door, Yan Yue politely said to Zhang Hua: "Xiaoxi, just take my car. Please lead the way."
Zhang Hua saw that Yan Yue was a prominent figure and indeed it was not suitable for him to ride in his shabby car. As for Xiao Xi, since he was Yan Yue's younger brother, it had nothing to do with him. He smiled and nodded to Yan Yue, called Du Lin, and drove the car to the front.
"Hey, Sister Du and the others have already left?" Lu Lingxi came over with Dahei and saw Yan Yue leaning against the car door waiting for him. Zhang Hua and Du Lin were gone.
Yan Yue's expression remained unchanged. "They should lead the way in front, and we just need to follow behind."
As he spoke, he opened the car door and motioned for Lu Lingxi to get in. Lu Lingxi didn't think anything of it and followed his action and got on the passenger seat. Dahei was driven to the back by Yan Yue.
Du Lin's flower garden is a little far from the city, in a small village on the outskirts of Fengcheng. Most of the young people in the village have gone out to work, and the only people left in the village are the elderly and children. The elderly are too old to farm, so they either leave their farmland at home uncultivated or rent it out to outsiders like Du Lin to grow something to supplement their income.
Yan Yue followed the small golden cup in front of him all the way. When he passed a drive-in restaurant, he stopped and looked at Lu Lingxi, "What do you want to eat?"
"ah?"
Yan Yue asked casually: "You didn't eat lunch?"
He came here at mealtime just to find an excuse to have a meal with the boy, but he unexpectedly became the boy's partner. When Du Lin came over, after a series of handovers, the two had no time to eat. He saw the boy secretly rubbing his belly before, but Du Lin acted very anxious, so the boy didn't say anything and cooperated with Du Lin's behavior all the way.
Yan Yue felt a little distressed, because there was nothing in his car except two bags of dog food. Fortunately, there was a drive-in restaurant on the side of the road. He thought that most teenagers of this age liked to eat fast food, so he turned in.
After hearing Yan Yue's words, Lu Lingxi blinked and smiled. "Brother Yan, what do you want to eat?" The boy asked while looking at the menu seriously.
Yan Yue paused, and used the excuse that he had already eaten to not ask for anything. He originally wanted to pay attention to his image in front of the boy, but he soon regretted it. Because he saw that after the boy bought his own meal, he also bought a box of chicken legs for Dahei. For the rest of the journey, Yan Yue watched the boy finish his meal, then turn around and feed the chicken legs to Dahei. In the rearview mirror, Dahei squinted his eyes and gnawed the chicken legs in the boy's hands with a happy face. Yan Yue was so regretful when he saw this. If he had bought one too, he could use the excuse that it was inconvenient to drive and let the boy feed him instead of that stupid dog.
Yan Yue noticed from the corner of his eye that after Dahei finished eating the chicken leg, he licked the boy's fingers with his tongue. The expression on his face was slightly distorted. What a stupid dog.
Fortunately, there were only a few chicken legs in the box, and Dahei ate them all in a short while. Lu Lingxi carefully put away the garbage, turned his head and looked forward again. Yan Yue's anger slowly dissipated, and his attention was focused on the boy again.
It was the hottest time of the afternoon when they arrived at the flower garden. Du Lin, holding an umbrella, led them into a small farmyard near the road. This was the place Du Lin rented, and the flower garden was behind the yard, separated from the others.
"At that time, it was because this place was convenient because it was close to the road." Du Lin explained as he walked.
It was August, and the flowers in the flower garden were in full bloom. Although the flower garden was small, Du Lin carefully divided it into different areas and planted different flowers, which were basically common in micro-gardening. In the corner behind the yard, various flower pots were piled together, and there was a large bag of unopened nutrient fertilizer next to them.
"That's all they have." Du Lin pointed to Lu Lingxi.
Usually Du Lin takes care of the micro-gardening, while Zhang Hua has his own job and does part-time micro-gardening delivery. Du Lin comes to the flower garden twice a week and usually hires an old man named Li from the nearby household to take care of it.
"You'll meet Grandpa Li later. The old man is in very good health, responsible, and takes great care of the flower garden. Xiaoxi, you won't be able to take care of it alone in the future. I mean, let Grandpa Li take care of the flower garden, and you stay in charge of the micro-gardening."
Lu Lingxi had also thought about the problem of insufficient manpower before, and nodded when he heard this.
"It's just delivering the goods..." Du Lin felt a little embarrassed. She was in a hurry to go from store to store and didn't explain the following issues clearly to Lu Lingxi. She was a little worried about letting the child down.
Lu Lingxi wasn't worried about the delivery, because he still had Yi Hang. Du Lin smiled as soon as she heard Yi Hang, "Yes, we should bring Xiao Hang with us, so that he won't have to do bad things every day."
Yan Yue frowned slightly at the unfamiliar name Yi Hang. He actually wanted to say that he was here to deliver goods, but he looked at Du Lin and held back. Lu Lingxi lacked social experience, so he could easily fool her with anything he said. Du Lin looked smart and took good care of Lu Lingxi. He didn't want Du Lin to see anything, which would be bad. Anyway, Du Lin would be gone in a few days, so he would talk about it later.
After a while, they finished looking at the flower garden, and Du Lin took Lu Lingxi to find Grandpa Li. Grandpa Li's name was Li Yuanchao, who was just 60 years old this year and was in very good health. Grandpa Li's children were all away from home, and they were filial to Grandpa Li. The family was not short of money. It was just that the old man had nothing to do, and there were no other activities in the countryside. It happened that Du Lin started a flower garden, and the work in the flower garden was easy and could kill time, so Grandpa Li took it.
Uncle Li has done a good job this year and really cares about the flower garden. When he heard Du Lin say that he wanted to transfer the flower garden, the old man felt it was a pity. After meeting Lu Lingxi, the old man no longer felt it was a pity. In his words, the little baby has a smell. City people may not feel it, but he has been in the countryside for many years. There are trees outside, crops in the fields, and wild flowers and weeds everywhere. City people pay attention to being close to nature, and the little baby has a little smell.
Considering Uncle Li's age, he always called her a little kid, but Lu Lingxi didn't think much of it. She was just startled when Uncle Li said there was a smell on her body, and thought Uncle Li had seen something. Instead, Du Lin smiled and said, "Yes, I feel comfortable with Xiaoxi. So this is what love is all about."
Lu Lingxi felt guilty about what they said, and accidentally turned his head and bumped into Yan Yue's sight. The other party was looking at him solemnly, with emotions in his eyes that he didn't understand at all.
"Brother Yan?" Lu Lingxi called out softly.
Yan Yue nodded at Lu Lingxi as if nothing had happened, his eyes slightly lowered, his emotions suppressed. When Du Lin said that he felt comfortable with the boy, he wanted to kidnap the boy immediately and lock him up at home from then on, leaving him alone. Unfortunately, he couldn't. After suppressing the desire in his heart, Yan Yue's expression returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.
The group did not stay here for long. Today was Friday, and Du Lin was worried that if they returned late, they would run into traffic jams in Fengcheng, which would be troublesome for them. Uncle Li had a very good impression of Lu Lingxi. He sent them all the way to the roadside and told Lu Lingxi to come often when he had time. He was also assured about the flower garden, he would definitely take good care of it and not let the little kid worry.
Lu Lingxi smiled and nodded, agreeing.
On the way back, Lu Lingxi was in a good mood. Outside the window, a large area of abandoned farmland passed by, and he thought of the small flower beds of micro-gardening. It would be great if one day there were micro-gardening flower beds all around.
Lu Lingxi was lost in thought and didn't realize that half of Yan Yue's attention was on him. With his peripheral vision fixed on the boy's smiling face, Yan Yue's irritable mood slowly calmed down. The boy in front of him was like a pearl in a clam shell, which had escaped from the heavy shell, washed away the mud outside, and was gradually showing its gentle and delicate beauty to outsiders. He believed that he was not the only one who discovered the good of Lu Lingxi. From Dong Zhi to Du Lin, there would be others in the future. These people would discover the good of the boy, would want to stay by his side, and even one of them would have the same thoughts about the boy as he did.
Since he couldn't lock the boy up, the only thing he could do was to find a way to become the one and only person in the boy's heart.
