Chapter 542: Rich Family
"Mom, the three of us work here, so we can get the employee discount. Don't charge it to your account, it's expensive." The three of them had planned it when they were washing dishes in the kitchen. They would just use their internal employee discount. This way it would be much cheaper, so they felt at ease when ordering more dishes just now, and they had already confirmed with the employees inside whether they could use the employee discount.
Hearing the children say this, Ye Qian was a little stunned, and she wondered if she had heard it wrongly, "You have to pay the employee price."
"Yes, we are employees here. We can get a 40% discount on meals here. Isn't it more cost-effective than the membership card in your hand?" Ningning showed off with some pride.
Ye Qian replied: "Your mother doesn't have a membership card."
"Ah, Mom, you don't have a membership card. Our family is not short of money. Why don't you get one? It's so expensive to eat in this private room without a card. You're old and you don't know how to live." Ranran said earnestly, as if she wanted to teach Ye Qian a lesson.
Ye Qian was confused at first, but now that her mind was a little clearer, she finally understood what the children meant. It turned out that these three unlucky children in their family didn't know that Huanxi was owned by their company.
But that's not right. Several children came here when the restaurant opened, and they also ordered meals from here when they were losing weight. Do they think they paid for it with their own money? Do they think she doesn't know how to live? This is what's going on.
But what exactly went wrong? These things are obvious. She didn't hide them at home and said everything directly. Why did these children have such thoughts? What went wrong?
She couldn't figure it out, maybe Gu Jinyan could understand, so she stared at Gu Jinyan blankly. Gu Jinyan didn't understand for a moment, "I don't know either."
This might be the tacit understanding between the two. Even without Ye Qian speaking, Gu Jinyan could still know what Ye Qian wanted to ask, but he was also confused at this time.
Ye Qian curiously asked the three children, "Can I ask, do you know what your parents do for a living?"
"I know." The three answered at the same time.
"Dad is now a high-ranking official in the city, and Mom runs her own film company. She also writes novels part-time and directs her own films." Ranran replied proudly.
"Is it over?" Ye Qian asked.
The three of them nodded in confirmation and said, "It's over."
"Oh." Auntie Lan, who had been listening, burst into laughter. The three children looked at her strangely. Ningning asked, "Grandma Lan, what are you laughing at? Are we saying something wrong?"
"No."
Indeed, there isn't any. What you said is very accurate, but it just missed a lot.
"Mom has a question for you. Didn't we run a braised meat shop before? Why doesn't your mom run it now?" The three children loved the braised meat shop when they were young. Ye Qian often brought some back home as a snack for the children, and she also knew at the time that this shop was run by her family.
"Didn't you stop doing it a long time ago?" Xixi replied, looking at the two brothers beside her in confusion.
"Yes, that's the business in Han City. I stopped doing it after I came to Jing City." Ranran's voice became smaller and smaller, and she seemed to be a little uncertain.
Ye Qian had a headache. She really didn't hide it from the children at home. None of them knew about it, and she still felt that their mother couldn't do it.
How could it be that her own child didn't even know what her family was doing? Ye Qian started to explain, "Your mother, I do run a company. The company's business is not only a media company for filming, but also a record company. We have our own film crew and screenwriter team. This is just a part of it. The previous braised meat shop was also opened in Beijing. The current Huanxi Braised Meat Shop is under our company.
The Huanxi store we're dining at is also owned by our company. We also have cosmetics stores, clothing stores, and the recently opened Huanxi Department Store. Any Huanxi store with the same Huanxi logo is owned by our company. Your mother holds a 51% stake in this company, and we have two other partners: your Aunt Wang Qiong and Aunt Fu Shan. However, Fu Shan's shares have been given to Fu Sha."
Ye Qian's words left the children stunned. "What? The incredibly popular Huanxi brand in Beijing is actually owned by Ye Qian's company? Does that mean it's theirs?" And Ye Qian is the majority shareholder. This brand's products are incredibly expensive. They'd assumed they were interested in Ye Qian's acting skills and were collaborating with her, but they actually own the brand. How rich must their mother be?
The three children became more and more frightened the more they thought about it. They all stood there with their mouths wide open, as if they were unable to react in time. This was what it meant to be dumbfounded. The three of them perfectly embodied the meaning of the word.
Ye Qian wasn't in a hurry. They waited for the three children to react before she said, "No, I don't understand. Why don't you remember when you were little? I brought you to the grand opening ceremony. Last year, I asked you to be the building manager. It's not our own company. Do you think it's so easy to squeeze someone in?"
"Isn't it related? I thought it would be easier if it was related. I didn't think too much about it. I didn't know how to ask. What if it's not Mom's? Wouldn't that hurt Mom's self-esteem?" Ranran said embarrassedly, "Besides, how can I remember things from my childhood so clearly? Mom, you didn't tell me it was ours at the time."
"That means our family is really rich." Ningning reacted instantly and then said.
"What does it have to do with you? It's your mother who has money. If your mother doesn't give it to you, it has nothing to do with you. Besides, you are all so stupid that you don't even know this." It turns out that there are such stupid people in this world. A family lives together, but they don't even know what their elders do. I thought it was a joke when I saw it on the Internet before, but I didn't expect that he really experienced it now.
"Mom, you didn't say it was yours, how could we know?" Ranran said.
"I didn't hide it at home, how come I didn't know about it?"
"You only work on scripts or novels at home. How can you have these?"
"Nonsense, I bought so much tea leaves to make tea at home last year, and I even said I would send you to make tea, how come you didn't know about it." Ye Qian glared at the three children. She was not going to accept the blame because they thought she was stupid.
"How could you be stupid? You only have three children, and all three of them got into college. That's a 100% success rate. How could you be stupid?"
The three children were a little excited when they thought about how rich their family was. However, Ye Qian still gave them some warnings: "Just forget about it. Don't talk about it at school. If you get into trouble outside, your mother and I won't care about you, and your father won't care either."
