Chapter 370 Aid
Private restaurant.
Ye Qian and Gu Jinyan had just walked in with the children when they heard someone calling her name. Ye Qian turned around and saw, "It's Boss Xue."
"Director Ye, long time no see."
"Not long." Ye Qian said.
Boss Xue looked at the people who came with Ye Qian and said, "I won't disturb you from having dinner. If there is a chance, I hope to work with Director Ye again."
Ye Qian smiled and nodded, then walked towards the private room upstairs.
After they sat down, Gu Jinyan asked, "Who was that person just now?"
"He is the owner of the sock brand that He Jun endorses. I took He Jun to sign the contract and shoot the film, so he knew me." Ye Qian explained.
Gu Jinyan thought for a while and asked, "It's the advertisement that has been playing these past two days."
"Yeah, he must have some connections, otherwise he wouldn't have gotten such a good opportunity. Let's stop talking about him and order the food quickly."
Gu Jinyan listed a list of dishes. Three adults and three children ordered a soup, three bowls of meat and vegetables, and a bowl of vegetables. The vegetables outside the main course steamed buns were not as delicious as those at home, and the children were reluctant to eat them. Aunt Lan said directly: "Forget the vegetables. We can't finish the meat and vegetables anyway."
Gu Jinyan nodded and removed the vegetables according to Aunt Lan's instructions.
When they finished their meal and went downstairs again, the proprietress said, "Your dishes have been paid for. It was the person who just spoke to you."
"Boss Xue." Ye Qian frowned.
As for herself, she didn't like others paying for her meals because it was easy to get bribed. What if someone asked you to do them a favor, but you didn't want to, but couldn't refuse because of the favor? Ye Qian asked, "How much is this meal?"
The proprietress flipped through the bill and said, "A total of 28 yuan." Private dishes are more expensive than those in state-owned restaurants, and the dishes they ordered are indeed priced at this level.
Ye Qian nodded to the boss lady and said, "Thank you." She made a mental note of the amount and would return it to Boss Xue someday. They had only worked together once, so it wasn't a case of treating someone to a meal. Besides, 28 yuan was more than the average worker's salary, and she felt bad about eating someone else's money.
Boss Xue was also feeling the pain. It wasn't because he was reluctant to spend the money; as a boss, he could still afford it. He really had something he wanted to ask Ye Qian for help with, and just now, he saw Gu Jinyan next to her. He knew the director of the Grain Bureau, so even if others didn't know him, he certainly knew him. His mind immediately turned to thinking that he would use this opportunity to build some connections and hope to help.
On his way home, Boss Xue's heart was in turmoil. If he agreed, and they could indeed help, that would be great. If they couldn't, he was afraid that this action would directly offend them. But he had to give it a try, otherwise his wife wouldn't give up. At most, he would offend her in the future and wouldn't even greet her. Thinking of this, Boss Xue calmed down and hurried home.
As soon as he got home, he told his wife: "Wife, your brother may be saved, but I'm not sure."
When Xue's wife heard this, she quickly asked, "What's going on? Tell me quickly."
Boss Xue told his wife the whole story from beginning to end. His wife frowned and asked, "Is this okay?"
"Why not? They have already eaten our food. If things don't work, we can drag him into the water and say that they ate it but didn't do anything. Isn't that enough?" Boss Xue didn't think of it at first, but he said it out loud. When he thought about it, it really worked.
The couple planned their plan and couldn't stop laughing, while Ye Qian was also thinking about how to return the money to the other party.
The next day, Ye Qian went straight to the other party's company. After a while, she sat in Boss Xue's office, took out 28 yuan from her purse and handed it to him, saying, "No merit, no reward. This meal is too expensive. We can't just accept it like this."
Boss Xue saw Ye Qian handed over all the money. Yesterday's plans were useless. He felt a little anxious and said, "No, I just want to treat Director Ye to a meal."
"Really, no need. If you really want to treat me to a meal, invite He Jun and the directors who are shooting the commercials next time, and we'll have dinner together." Ye Qian politely declined. She couldn't put her finger on what was wrong, but she just felt something was wrong. Ye Qian believed in her sixth sense. She felt in her heart that this meal was not edible, and she would definitely not eat it.
Ye Qian handed over the money and turned to leave, but Boss Xue immediately stopped her, "Director Ye, I do have a favor to ask."
"Then you should take the money. I'm just a student, it's useless for you to beg me." Ye Qian thought to herself, as expected, if someone shows you kindness without any reason, he is either a villain or a thief. There are not so many free lunches in the world. Everyone has a purpose. Fortunately, she came here.
"What I want is not you, but your lover," said Boss Xue.
"Gu Jinyan? Why would I beg him?" Ye Qian felt angry when she heard that Gu Jinyan was involved. She said in a bad tone, "Speak."
Boss Xue was not in a good mood when he saw Ye Qian's tough attitude. As a boss, who would not give him some face? Who would dare to talk to him like that? He was a little calculative in his heart, but for the sake of his wife, he still held back his thoughts and changed his expression and said, "My wife's brother works at the Grain Bureau. He was locked up for taking some things from the bureau. I have been racking my brains these days and can't find anyone to help. Didn't it just happen that I ran into you and Director Gu yesterday? That's why I wanted to invite you to dinner and ask for your help."
I'm afraid that this meal is fake, and they are really trying to borrow money to say that they accepted bribes. Besides, it's impossible that they have been detained for several days without a solution for just taking a small amount of things. Ye Qian suddenly remembered that Gu Jinyan came back late from working overtime a few days ago and said that something happened at the bureau. It seems that this is it.
Ye Qian looked at Boss Xue. He was a mean guy. She was glad she came today, otherwise she didn't know what would happen if she kept delaying. She glanced at the money on the table and said, "You know whether it's a small matter or not, but I know Gu Jinyan. Your method will only make him angrier." Of course, she was the one who was even more angry. She actually dared to plot against Gu Jinyan. She was really brave.
"Keep the money for the meal. My family is not so poor that we need help from others." After saying this, Ye Qian turned around and opened the office door. When she saw the people eavesdropping at the door, she took several steps back in fright. Then she glared at Boss Xue fiercely, quickened her pace and left, not forgetting to slam the office door shut. There was a loud bang, which scared everyone outside.
Ye Qian went downstairs and turned to look in the direction of the office. Her anger only grew. "Okay, very good."
