Lu Huaichen slowly picked up the serving chopsticks and put a shrimp into his bowl.
Without even lifting his eyelids, he said without any emotion, "The food is getting cold, let's eat first."
Qi Yuan stopped talking, and everyone picked up their chopsticks and started eating.
Tang Muyan ate with gusto. Apart from Wen Huai's cooking, Xueyu Private Kitchen was probably the restaurant that suited her taste the most, otherwise she would not have chosen this restaurant for Lu Huaichen three years ago.
Compared to Tang Muyan's ease, Qi Yuan was enjoying the food.
As for Special Assistant Yu, he was helping Lu Huaichen pick the fish bones out of the bowl. Tang Muyan glanced at him and snorted in her heart, "What a lackey."
Special Assistant Yu placed the selected fish meat in Lu Huaichen's bowl. Tang Muyan rolled her beautiful eyes and said sarcastically, "Oh, this dignified Mr. Lu is really noble."
Special Assistant Yu stopped his hand when he was about to pick up the chicken wings. He felt panicked after listening to Tang Muyan's words: Madam, I am on your side, why are you trying to hurt me!
Lu Huaichen looked at the extra piece of fish in the bowl, frowned, and his voice became completely cold, "Assistant Yu, take it away, don't do this kind of thing in the future."
Seeing that Lu Huaichen’s face looked unhappy, Tang Muyan felt happy.
"Lu Huai's face turned sour, and he rewarded himself with another shrimp."
She reached out her chopsticks and picked up another shrimp.
Over there, Qi Wang was watching the show leisurely, his eyes fixed on Tang Muyan, with a smile on his lips.
Qi Wang was sitting diagonally opposite Tang Muyan. Whenever she went over there to pick up food and looked up inadvertently, her eyes would collide with Qi Wang's.
"What are you looking at? It's so disgusting. I can hardly eat."
She really couldn't stand Qi Wang's gaze and glared back at him fiercely.
Unexpectedly, Qi Wang not only did not restrain himself, but the interest in his eyes became even stronger.
In Lu Huaichen's eyes, the interaction between the two seemed like flirting.
He tightened his grip on the chopsticks.
Special Assistant Yu understood what they meant and inserted himself into the gap between their lines of sight, pulling their gazes away.
He said, "Boss Qi, why don't you move your chopsticks? Is the meal I ordered not to your taste?"
Qi Wang finally waited for this sentence. He smiled wickedly and his eyes fell on Lu Huaichen intentionally. "No, I ate too much in the afternoon and can't eat anymore."
'If you can't eat, come back.'
Tang Muyan was secretly complaining in her heart.
"So that's how it is. I thought what I ordered didn't suit your taste." Special Assistant Yu greeted.
But Tang Muyan's expression became a little strange.
Qi Wangzheng was saying over there, "Mr. Lu, don't you want to know what I..." had for dinner?
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Tang Muyan. She raised her hand to signal Qi Wang to stop talking. She looked at Special Assistant Yu and said, "Wait a minute, Special Assistant Yu, you just said this is what you ordered?"
When Special Assistant Yu faced Tang Muyan, he showed the same servile smile as he did to Lu Huaichen, "Yeah, is Teacher Tang to your taste?"
Tang Muyan chose to ignore his courtesy and continued to ask, "Did you book this private room as well?"
Although Special Assistant Yu didn't understand why Tang Muyan asked this, he still nodded honestly, "I ordered it, what's wrong?"
"May I have your name?"
'We're almost there.'
Before Special Assistant Yu could answer, Lu Huaichen said for him, "Yu Jiaqi."
"No wonder, if Lin Xueyu said the word 'Yu', I would not enter this room."
Special Assistant Yu was so moved at this moment, he didn't expect that Mr. Lu still remembered his name, and tears almost fell from his eyes.
"Oh, by the way, what did Mr. Qi want to say just now?"
Tang Muyan didn't want to talk to Lu Huaichen, so she changed the subject again.
"nothing."
At this moment, Qi Wang's voice was not as loud as before.
His face looked a little ugly. He had just said half of his words and wanted to irritate Lu Huaichen, but Tang Muyan looked like she didn't care at all. If he said that kind of words again now, he would be asking for humiliation, so he simply didn't say anything.
Tang Muyan went to the bathroom halfway through his meal.
Qi Yuan followed him out.
As soon as Tang Muyan came out, she saw Qi Yuan waiting for her outside.
Qi Yuan's expression was cold, and his eyes darkened.
Tang Muyan had a good impression of her the last time she met her. She admired Qi Yuan's strong woman spirit, but when she met her this time, Tang Muyan lost all her good impression of her.
She didn't like the fact that Qi Yuan knew that Lu Huaichen was her ex-husband, but didn't mention a word about it when he called. If Qi Yuan had said it at the time, she wouldn't be here now.
She walked around Qi Yuan, went to the sink and turned on the faucet.
The sound of rushing water broke the silence between the two.
Tang Muyan didn't want to waste time with her, so she spoke first, "Vice President Qi, do you have any instructions?"
"This negotiation is very important to us. It concerns our future development." Qi Yuan said sternly.
Tang Muyan raised her eyes and pulled the corners of her lips. She looked at Qi Yuan through the mirror, with a flash of disdain in her eyes, "So?"
Qi Yuan's face was not very good. In her eyes, Tang Muyan was just a comic book author. What qualifications did she have to challenge her here?
As long as Qi Yuan said a word, her comics would immediately disappear from the website.
What does she rely on?
Is she going to rely on her useless brother?
"Behave yourself and don't upset Master Lu, otherwise it will be bad for you, me, and everyone else."
Qi Yuan's words were full of threats. Seeing that Tang Muyan showed no emotion, she continued, "You should know now that your comics don't have a good reputation. Mr. Lu is willing to buy your copyright, so don't be ungrateful. If he's not happy, you won't be able to sell the copyright. Mr. Lu won't buy it, and other companies won't buy it either."
Tang Muyan smiled sweetly, "Why? Isn't it time for you to use me to hook Lu Huaichen?"
Qi Yuan's brows tightened, "What do you mean?"
"Vice President Qi, don't you know what's going on? Who is Lu Huaichen here for today, and who is he trying to save? It's just a copyright contract. How could he, the president of Lu Corporation, waste his time running here? Don't you really think he's here to discuss business with you?"
Tang Muyan's words were full of meaning. Seeing Qi Yuan's expression gradually becoming ugly, she continued, "Why, don't you understand?"
Tang Muyan put away the smile on her face, and her expression turned cold. "The current Yizhi relies on me for a living. The copyright belongs to me, and the comics belong to me. You can cancel my comics just because you are unhappy, but do you think the current Yizhi has any other works that can be shown off?"
The download volume of the comic APP on the top one is completely supported by Tang Muyan's works. The sales volume of the second comic APP is far behind Tang Muyan's comics.
If Tang Muyan's work was really cancelled, one of the apps would definitely suffer a heavy blow.
She looked at Qi Yuan's increasingly sinister face. She didn't know where she got the courage from. She leaned close to Qi Yuan's ear and spoke with her thin lips in an extremely arrogant tone, "And Lu Huaichen is the same!"
