Chapter 26: Hitting Xing Dairong and Cheng Yunshuo
Xing Dairong looked incredulous.
How can someone eat like this?
So disgusting.
"Of course it's possible. This pricing attracts poor people. Meat costs 30 or 40 cents per pound now. They can't eat it once a year. They have to fight for the meat scraps and lick the plates. Each person eats at least 7 or 8 pounds of meat."
She may not know that even in her time, ordinary people had just escaped from a state of total hunger for a few years.
Not to mention the food that comes out of the stomach, people who are chronically hungry can eat anything when they are hungry.
The stunning buffet in her eyes had not only the backdrop of great productivity improvements, but also the international background of joining the World Trade Organization at that time.
After 2001, the country joined the World Trade Organization, and a large amount of cheap frozen meat, zombie meat, minced meat, and bones flooded into the market, which brought down the price of buffets and pushed the popularity of all-you-can-eat meat buffets to a brilliant height.
Xing Dairong didn't know all this.
She saw only the best in the turbulent times she lived through.
I never thought that the gorgeous fireworks would not be able to be held up without sufficient strength.
The buffet she set up was losing money every day and would never make back its investment.
“That’s enough!”
Cheng Yunshuo frowned when he saw the real numbers, "Where are those people now?"
"They are in the government office."
"Go to the mansion quickly to get the money and send them away." Cheng Yunshuo said.
Kang Ping stood there, feeling even more embarrassed. "Sir, the key to the family is now with the Young Madam. We cannot withdraw money from the account office without the Young Madam's instructions."
Cheng Yunshuo held the account book tightly and frowned. After a while, he said, "Please ask the young lady to come over."
"yes."
This was Lu Lingyun's first time entering Cheng Yunshuo's Yaoguang Pavilion.
When she entered the room, Cheng Yunshuo and Xing Dairong were sitting on one side. Xing Dairong, who usually acted so confident in front of everyone, was now like a defeated rooster, sitting on the side with his head down, looking depressed and no longer proud.
Lu Lingyun saw this and smiled slightly.
"Prince, are you looking for me?"
She looked at Cheng Yunshuo and asked.
"Yes, Lu...Lingyun." Cheng Yunshuo, who was asked directly, found it difficult to open his mouth for a moment.
It would be embarrassing for anyone to spend so much money fooling around with his/her beloved and then turn around and ask his/her wife for money.
If Cheng Yunshuo still had some money in his private treasury, he would not have called Lu Lingyun over.
But in order to redeem Xing Dairong, he spent all the money he had saved from childhood to adulthood, and even owed a lot of money to his friends.
Moreover, because of Xing Dairong, he offended the Qin family and lost all his subsidies, and he couldn't ask his mother for money.
Now that the hole was imminent, he had no choice but to find Lu Lingyun and ask her for money.
It's so hard to speak, it makes him embarrassed!
Lu Lingyun looked at Cheng Yunshuo's indecisive expression and felt like laughing. Seeing that the argument was almost over, she sat next to him and gave him a step. "Sir, we are all family, there is nothing wrong with talking."
Having gained the upper hand, Cheng Yunshuo took a deep breath and handed the account book in his hand to Lu Lingyun.
"Take a look first."
Lu Lingyun took it calmly.
"What do these mean?" Lu Lingyun knew the meaning of Arabic numerals, but she wanted to ask Cheng Yunshuo.
Now that Cheng Yunshuo had given her the account number, he had completely lost all dignity. He could no longer keep his composure and told her the numbers one by one, "This is one, two, three, four..."
After he finished speaking, Lu Lingyun looked at the total figure on the last page and sighed, "Oh, it turns out that the loss is 1,130 taels. How could the loss be so large!"
These words were tantamount to stabbing Cheng Yunshuo and Xing Dairong again.
Xing Dairong, who was sitting on the other side, raised his head, then lowered it again. The depression on his face was now tinged with a red color of shame and anger.
She didn't expect to lose so much money!
"Yes...we are not doing well."
Cheng Yunshuo glanced at Xing Dairong and took all the responsibility.
"Is it the buffet on East Street that's famous all over Beijing?" Lu Lingyun asked again.
"right."
"I remember that everyone in Beijing said that it was Miss Xing who opened the bank, so I never even asked about the accounts there." Cheng Yunshuo wanted to protect Xing Dairong, but Lu Lingyun insisted on exposing her.
"I was thinking about making money at first!" Xing Dairong was like a puffer fish, he exploded at the slightest touch.
"Oh? Miss Xing also has the ability to run a store?" Lu Lingjun looked at her indifferently. It's time to deal with her now.
"I, I have lots of money-making ideas!"
"Enough!" Cheng Yunshuo interrupted Xing Dairong coldly.
Xing Dairong was stunned, but after all, this incident was caused by her, and she didn't have the confidence to lose her temper with Cheng Yunshuo. She shut her mouth in frustration, and her face became even more depressed.
Lu Lingyun took in her expression. She turned to look at Cheng Yunshuo and asked, "How is the prince going to deal with this?"
"Withdraw the money from the account first and send the person away."
Lu Lingyun tapped the table with her fingertips. "Withdrawing money is no problem, but where did it come from? The expenses of the mansion have been calculated. More than one thousand taels of silver must be reported to mother."
Cheng Yunshuo heard this and said, "Don't tell mother, just deduct it from my monthly allowance."
When Lu Lingyun heard this, he already had a satisfied answer in his eyes.
Cheng Yunshuo's monthly salary was 100 taels, and the loss of more than 1,000 taels was just enough to deduct his monthly salary for the year.
How can he get through this year without any financial support from Qin?
As long as one is alive, money is really important.
Without money, how can you have romance? Without money, how can you have the confidence to talk to others? Without money, poor couples will be sad about everything.
"Since the prince has said so, let's do it this way." Lu Lingyun looked at Nanny An, "Accompany Manager Kang to the accounting office, withdraw the money, and get this done quickly."
"Yes, Madam!"
"Yes, Madam."
The two of them went down together, and Lu Lingyun also stood up, "I guess there's nothing more for me to do, so I'll go back."
Cheng Yunshuo looked at Lu Lingyun who was leaving and opened his mouth, "Lingyun, I'm sorry to bother you."
All in all, she helped him solve today's problem.
She also helped him keep it a secret and didn't report it to Qin. Lu Lingjun was so considerate, Cheng Yunshuo had to thank her in some way.
"You and I are one, so why would there be any trouble?" Lu Lingjun smiled calmly.
After saying that, he took his people away.
After she left, Xing Dairong snorted in dissatisfaction, "What do you mean you and I are one? Who is one with her?"
Cheng Yunshuo didn't want to talk to her at this time, let alone pay attention to her.
This person is really incomparable. Lu Lingjun is gentle and generous, and helped him solve his problems, but Xing Dairong, who got into trouble, is still here being jealous.
But the strange thing is that, when comparing Xing Dairong with others, Cheng Yunshuo always thought she was unique. But he didn't know when he started to feel that Xing Dairong was not that eye-catching and gradually became tacky.
"Cheng Yunshuo!" Xing Dairong looked at him with a pout.
