Chapter 484 Appropriate Profit
Upon hearing the voice, Ye Ran pushed Lu Yi away, quickly straightened her clothes, and ran out, calling out, "Mom!"
Lu Yi scratched his head in frustration, but knowing that his mother-in-law and father-in-law were outside, he didn't dare to be negligent and got up to follow them out.
Seeing their daughter and son-in-law whom they hadn't seen for so long, Bai Yue and Ye Jun were very happy. "It's been so long since we last saw each other. You're finally back."
Ye Ran hugged Bai Yue and said sweetly, "Mom, I missed you so much."
Bai Yue smiled and stroked her hair, "Mom missed you too! Why is your hair so messy?"
At this point, Ye Ran's back stiffened involuntarily, and she glared at Lu Yi resentfully.
Lu Yi touched his nose sheepishly, then leaned close to his father-in-law, "Dad! I brought you some good stuff this time."
Upon hearing this, Ye Jun looked at him with delight, "What good stuff did you bring back?"
Lu Yi went straight back to his room and took out two bottles of red wine that he had packaged very carefully from his suitcase.
After taking them out, Ye Jun looked at the two bottles of red wine with curiosity. "Is this the wine mentioned in the poem, 'Fine wine in a luminous cup'?"
Lu Yi nodded, "That's right, it's wine. This stuff isn't cheap!"
Ye Jun clicked his tongue in astonishment, "It's just wine made from grapes, how can it be more expensive than Moutai?"
Lu Yi chuckled, "These kinds of things are all hyped up. You can say they're worth whatever you want, it just depends on whether anyone's willing to pay the price."
Ye Jun nodded, "That makes sense. Our construction team has recently taken on another villa project. Rich people really do think differently from us."
I'm thinking about how to build a more sturdy house, while others are thinking about how to make it the most upscale, how deep the foundation should be to avoid sagging, and most importantly, how luxurious and grand it can be.
Lu Yi couldn't help but chuckle, "There's nothing we can do, everyone has their own expertise! They don't understand anything about foundations, they only know whether it looks good or not, so that's all they can say."
The mother and daughter were whispering to each other, while the father-in-law and son-in-law were talking and discussing work.
Ye Jun couldn't contain his pride when talking about the hot spring villa they built in the eastern suburbs. "Let me tell you, your hot spring villa was completed a while ago."
Wow! It's really well done. Li Xin is indeed a professional architect. He not only designed well, but also understands basic architectural knowledge.
Working with him is truly enjoyable and saves a lot of trouble; the results are obvious.
Lu Yi listened with great interest, "Since you all enjoy working with him so much, why don't you team up together?"
"Wouldn't it be better to have Li Xin design the work and you handle the construction, forming a well-rounded engineering team?"
Upon hearing Lu Yi's words, Ye Jun's eyes lit up. "That's right, how come we didn't think of that? But, I wonder if he will agree?"
"They're cultured people; they won't get along with us illiterate folks..."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yi said confidently, "Li Xin isn't that kind of person. You should try negotiating with him. I think it's feasible."
"When the time comes, your construction team should do more work, build up some reputation, and then we can consider starting a construction company!"
Ye Jun clicked his tongue in astonishment, "A construction company? Doesn't that mean you're a boss?"
"Yes, isn't that great?"
Ye Jun said, lacking confidence, "But I'm just not cut out for this!"
Lu Yi kept encouraging his father-in-law, "Why is he not cut out for this? Didn't you always think you could only farm? Now you've found a job you love in Beijing."
Humans are limitless beings. Believe in yourself. Besides, you're a team; if you work together, you're bound to achieve something great.
Encouraged by Lu Yi's words, Ye Jun actually had a little bit of hope. "Then I'll go back later and discuss it with them, and see what Li Xin will say."
Lu Yi nodded with a smile. As they were talking, Ran Yu came over. "Ranran! Come on, the braised pork is ready."
Ye Ran walked over expectantly, "Really? No wonder I've been smelling such a wonderful fragrance since just now, it smells so good!"
Ran Yu was overjoyed. "Really? Then let's go eat! Yueyue, you all come too!"
Bai Yue smiled and agreed, then whispered to Ye Ran, "Did you bring any gifts for everyone when you came back this time? Look how good your grandparents are to you."
Ye Ran said helplessly, "Of course I've prepared, Mom, I understand."
Bai Yue patted her hand, "Mom knows, but I can't help but want to teach you a little more!"
Ye Ran suddenly felt a lump in her throat. "That's because, in front of my mother, I'll always be a little child!"
Bai Yue nodded with emotion, "Yes, but my child is now a mother of two even younger children."
Ye Ran took her hand and said, "That's right, time really flies. So Mom, you should take good care of yourself too! In the future, you should help take care of Zhengzheng's children, just like Grandma and Grandpa did."
Bai Yue burst out laughing, "If I can live to see that time, of course I will! I'm really looking forward to it!"
The group walked to the dining room and saw that everyone else had already arrived.
The family sat down at the dinner table after a long time, creating a warm and lively atmosphere.
With the support of their elders, Lu Yi and Ye Ran shared their experiences and gains during their time in the United States.
The elders at the table listened with great satisfaction, offering words of encouragement from time to time.
After dinner, Lu Tian and the other elderly people couldn't suppress their desire to show off. They took the two children out for a walk, insisting that all the old men and women in the neighborhood know about their two precious kids.
Lu Yi and Ye Ran followed Lu Ting to the study and explained their plans.
Listening to the two of them, Lu Ting felt gratified and proud. "It's wonderful that you have this intention! However, while it's fine to donate anonymously, you still need to be mindful of the methods used..."
Upon hearing this, the two exchanged a glance. "What do you mean?"
Lu Ting smiled slightly, "It's still good to bring some benefits to oneself when appropriate."
Lu Yi and Ye Ran nodded in agreement, and the next day, they followed Lu Ting to a secluded little teahouse...
