Chapter 204: Change of Account Fee
If it was just a project worth 200 million yuan, they would not have to travel so far to discuss business.
"Euros?" Meng Chuyuan was silent for two or three seconds, figuring out the approximate amount in his mind. Surprise was evident on his face. "So much?"
She originally thought that the six points Lu Qingye asked for from her was already a huge ask, but she didn't expect it to be increased so many times.
She didn't treat Lu Qingye as an outsider, and she didn't know how to restrain her money-grubber look.
When he thought about the huge amount of money that would be deposited into his account in the future, Meng Chuyuan couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips, his eyes were filled with smiles, and two shallow dimples appeared on his cheeks.
Seeing her smile so happily, Lu Qingye fell into confusion: "You just said you were embarrassed to ask for it?"
I just corrected the first half of Meng Chuyuan's sentence, and he also heard the rest of it.
When he walked down, Meng Chuyuan and the others had already finished their conversation, so Lu Qingye had no idea what they had talked about.
Meng Chuyuan looked up at him and asked seriously, "How do you know I'm not just being polite?"
“…”
Although happy, Meng Chuyuan still kept a clear mind: "But this is so much money, is it appropriate for me to take it?"
It is true that she brought back the jade, but the money she spent was all Lu Qingye's.
Seeing that she was a little conflicted, Lu Qingye found a good reason to convince her: "Just think of it as the money he gave you to change your mind."
——
The weather has been half sunny and half cloudy recently, and the sun only becomes a little milder near noon.
In this season of late autumn and early winter, Qi Yan woke up at dawn and drove alone from her villa in the suburbs to the old street in the city.
She thought she had left early enough, but when she arrived she found that all the shops on the streets were open for business and there were long queues in front of the shops.
Qi Yan had a phone call with her grandmother a while ago. During the conversation, her grandmother said that she missed the dim sum from the shop at the old street entrance.
In order to buy this snack, Qi Yan waited in line for the whole morning.
At this time, she had already arrived at Qi's house and the car was parked on the side of the road.
Ever since her father remarried, Qi Yan moved out to live on her own and was only occasionally called home during the holidays.
Her car was so conspicuous parked on the road that the servant who came out to sweep up the fallen leaves recognized it as Qi Yan's car at a glance. He shouted at the top of his lungs, and everyone in and outside the house soon knew that she was back.
In fact, she hadn't even made up her mind to go in when the housekeeper came over and said, "Miss, why didn't you tell me you were back?"
Qi Yan got out of the car, closed the door indifferently, and turned to look at the housekeeper next to her: "Why? I have to report even when I go back to my own home now?"
"That's not what I meant." The housekeeper suddenly seemed a little humble in front of her, and his voice became softer. "If you had let me know in advance, I could have someone buy your favorite dishes."
"No need." She didn't even want to drive in, so how could she have any intention of staying for dinner?
The weather has been getting colder recently. Qi Yan came back this time just to see her grandma and brought her some snacks from the shop at the old street entrance.
After she entered the house, she went straight to her grandmother's house and didn't even pass through the main courtyard.
Grandma Qi was sitting in a wheelchair, basking in the sun in the yard. She saw a figure walking towards her from afar. When the person came closer, she could see clearly that it was her granddaughter.
"Yan Yan, how come you have time to come and see me today?"
It was a rare occasion for Qi Yan to come back on her own initiative, and Old Mrs. Qi was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.
"Grandma, didn't you say last time that you wanted to eat the Cantonese dim sum at the old street corner?" Qi Yan held up the things in her hand and explained to her grandmother, "I went there specially to buy them this morning. They're probably cold by now. I'll take them to the kitchen and have them heat them up for you later."
She hated this family, but she obeyed her grandmother in everything.
In front of her grandmother, Qi Yan would consciously control her temper and try to find ways to make the old lady happy.
When it was almost time for lunch, Qi Yan said she wanted to leave, but her grandmother insisted that she stay: "Yan Yan, stay with grandma until you finish your meal before you leave. You haven't been home for a long time."
Before Qi Yan could open her mouth to refuse, her father suddenly appeared in the courtyard.
"Mom, I'm here to take you to dinner." Seeing Qi Yan there, there was no surprise in Qi's father's eyes, nor any change of emotion. He glanced at her with a cold gaze and said, "Are you back?"
Faced with his lukewarm attitude, Qi Yan disdained to pay attention and spoke directly to her grandmother: "Grandma, I'm leaving first. I'll come to see you another day when I'm free."
"Stop." Seeing that she didn't see him as her father at all, he was a little annoyed: "Did I let you go?"
——
At the same time, Meng Chuyuan and the others were also preparing to eat. What was rare was that half of today's lunch was made by Lu Jinsen.
He knew that Lu Qingye was leaving in the afternoon, so he specially prepared three dishes that he was sure would be delicious.
"Brother, this is the sweet and sour fish, crispy roast pork, and braised eggplant that I made."
The remaining fish head tofu soup and cabbage wrapped in meat were made by Meng Chuyuan.
Lu Qingye was still looking at his phone at the dining table, dealing with work matters. In response to Lu Jinsen's introduction, he just gave a perfunctory "hmm" and didn't even have the time to pick up his chopsticks.
Not getting an effective response from Lu Qingye, his attention slowly shifted to Meng Chuyuan.
Meng Chuyuan could understand Lu Jinsen's eyes without him saying anything, and her chopsticks reached out to the plate of braised eggplant.
After Meng Chuyuan tasted the soft and tasty eggplant, he nodded with satisfaction: "This tastes good."
Lin Youjuan first poured herself a bowl of tofu soup. Although she had personally watched Meng Chuyuan try the dishes, she still had concerns: "His dishes look okay, but are they really edible?"
"It's edible." Meng Chuyuan personally handed the braised eggplant to Lin Youjuan: "This eggplant tastes pretty good, please try it."
Glancing at the piece of eggplant in her bowl, Lin Youjuan hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to try it.
It was her first time tasting Lu Jinsen's cooking, and she was very cautious. She first bit off a piece of eggplant as small as a fingernail to taste it. When she found the taste was right, Lin Youjuan finished the rest. "Second brother, your cooking skills are quite good."
Lu Qingye turned off his phone. Seeing that they were both praising Lu Jinsen's improved cooking skills, he also picked up his chopsticks and tried the dish: "Not bad."
After receiving unanimous approval, Lu Jinsen held his neck with his hands and smiled restrainedly.
Lu Qingye looked up at him and reminded him, "Remember to put your knowledge into practice."
"I see."
Lu Qingye knew that their variety show would resume recording next week, which was just the right amount of time for Lu Jinsen to learn a few more dishes.
The phrase "apply what you have learned" was the hint he gave to Lu Jinsen.
Meng Chuyuan didn't understand their conversation, her attention was instead on Lu Qingye.
She served Lu Qingye a bowl of rice and placed it in front of him: "Don't you have a flight to catch this afternoon? Eat quickly."
