Lu Ziqun was both surprised and delighted, but also embarrassed. "This is too much trouble. How could I let you make a special trip back to your hometown?"
Zhou Yueyun said nonchalantly, "It's nothing. I go back every month, and it's convenient to drive. You're Qingqing's friend, so you're my friend too. Don't be so polite with me. I might need your help in the future!"
"Well... then I'll trouble you. I'll give you the money for the dog first."
Zhou Yueyun was too enthusiastic, and Lü Ziqun couldn't refuse, so he prepared to give her money. He was conflicted, wondering how much to give her. She had driven all the way back to the countryside, so he had to factor in the gas money, and there was also the money for the dog's son. Maybe he should give her five hundred yuan, not wanting her to suffer a loss.
Although Lü Ziqun was heartbroken, she was always frugal with herself and had to save face so as not to be looked down upon. She would rather eat less herself.
"Why would I give you money? Country dogs don't cost money, people would love for you to take them as pets!" Zhou Yueyun waved her hand dismissively. It's just a puppy, why would I need money?
“Then you’ll have to drive back, which will take up a lot of time…” Lu Ziqun was still embarrassed.
“I’m not going back on purpose. I have to go back even if I don’t get you a dog. I won’t take it even if you give me money.” Zhou Yueyun pretended to be unhappy, so Lü Ziqun had no choice but to put the money away. He was very grateful to Zhou Yueyun.
Of course, Zhou Yueyun wasn't truly kind-hearted; she also had her own selfish motives. Lü Ziqun was a university teacher and also a cadre, so he would definitely be promoted in the future. The medical university was a prestigious university, and it was never a bad thing to have a good relationship with the school leaders. Her eldest son would be taking the college entrance exam in a few years, and becoming a doctor would be a good career choice.
All the guests have arrived, including Miao Tianxiang and Li Hongming. Li Hongming has recovered quite well, and Dong Siyue is with him. She is now Mrs. Li, but they haven't held a banquet yet.
Dong Siyue saw Lü Ziqun, said something to Li Hongming, and then walked over to hug Lü Ziqun. Zhou Yueyun saw her, her expression suddenly changed, and she stammered, "You...you're not that female celebrity...Poison Orchid..."
Both she and Lin Baiwei were loyal users of Poison Orchid, and seeing Dong Siyue's face every day, they naturally recognized her at a glance.
Dong Siyue smiled and nodded, "Yes, I am the groom's sister's college classmate and good friend. My husband and the bride and groom also know each other."
Zhou Yueyun was both surprised and delighted. Suddenly, she remembered something and gritted her teeth, saying, "I recommended the Poison Orchid to Qingqing so many times before, and she never once mentioned knowing you."
Dong Siyue chuckled softly, "Qingqing not only knows me, but is also friends with the owner of Poison Orchid. The bride is the sister of the founder of Poison Orchid; they are related by marriage."
Everyone at the table was stunned. Who would have thought there was such a connection? Yu Anning exclaimed, "This is what you call a powerful alliance!"
It's estimated that this in-law family will take half of the future skincare market.
Zhou Yueyun slapped her thigh, "I'll have to get the bride to give me a discount from now on, at least an 88% discount, haha!"
Everyone laughed, except for Lü Ziqun, who looked completely bewildered. She didn't understand anything about poisonous orchids, but she knew they were definitely not something she could afford. She didn't deserve to participate in the conversation about such a luxury item, so she decided to eat instead.
There was a leader giving a speech on stage. He was a leader from the Bureau of Child Health. He spoke a sentence and then had a simultaneous interpreter translate it, making it feel like the Great Hall of the People. Yu Anning vaguely heard the word "world champion" and couldn't help but feel curious. She looked down and asked Lin Baiwei what kind of champion it was.
"Qingqing is a world Go champion, and he's won the title several times in a row. He's still at his peak and is a national treasure-level master." Lin Baiwei said with great admiration.
