Chapter 121, Part 1212 Update
One two one:
Ye Qingxi sat in the car, talking to Qin Cheng while thinking about Qiu Yue starting his own company.
This is indeed a good choice.
This would avoid the plot-driven death caused by his power struggle with Qiu Lu—although his grandfather wouldn't kill him now, the original book might have arranged other plot-driven deaths that would occur if he were to seize power?
This would also make it easier for his uncle to suppress the Qiu family, and he wouldn't feel guilty for his uncle's harsh actions that might cause Qiu Yue pain.
This achieves multiple benefits in one fell swoop.
that is……
Ye Qingxi glanced at the back of Qiu Yue's head. It wasn't that he was overthinking it, but given his grandfather's personality, even if Qiu Yue went out on his own, he would still bear the surname Qiu, and as long as he bore the surname Qiu, his grandfather wouldn't allow him to develop too well.
If you don't cut the weeds at the root, they'll grow back in the spring. His grandfather was no saint.
Ye Qingxi didn't want to limit Qiu Yue's life because of himself—he had been limited before, he knew that feeling very well, and he didn't like it.
But he also worried that if Qiu Yue's career developed too well in the future, even if he had no feelings for Qiu Lu, what about his parents?
What if they keep pressuring him, hoping he'll leave something for his younger brother?
Would he, out of kindness, actually reveal just a little bit?
How can we both limit Qiu Yue's life and ensure that he doesn't become a threat to the Mu family in the future?
Ye Qingxi thought for a long time, and it wasn't until he got off the car that he suddenly realized, what if he also had shares in this company?
What if he also had a voice?
That way, if Qiu Yue shows any intention to help Qiu Lu, he can dissuade him in time.
If persuasion fails, he can transfer all his shares to his uncle.
I believe that when the time comes, his uncle will definitely be able to use these shares to bring down Qiu Yue as soon as possible.
Moreover, with his involvement, his grandfather would naturally no longer pursue Qiu Yue relentlessly.
If Qiu Yue's company makes money, he can also make a lot of money.
Even if we take a step back and assume that Qiu Yue's company didn't do well, it doesn't matter; consider it a loss to avoid further trouble.
However, Ye Qingxi thought it was impossible. If Qiu Yue didn't have any ability, then the original book wouldn't have allowed his grandfather to take him away in one fell swoop.
We can keep them, let Qiu Lu seize power and then beat them while they're down, wouldn't that be great?
The more Ye Qingxi thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.
Yes, he glanced at his own faint reflection in the car window.
He's only five years old, how can there be a five-year-old shareholder?
Therefore, this matter will inevitably rely on an adult.
So Ye Qingxi once again set her sights on her gentle, excellent, and kind uncle.
Hey~ Uncle~ Would you like to be a new shareholder?
Once inside the aquarium, Ye Qingxi lost all interest in Qiu Yue.
He looked at the colorful fish of all sizes in front of him, and together with Qin Cheng, they curiously pressed their faces against the glass.
"So cute~" Ye Qingxi exclaimed.
Upon hearing this, Qin Cheng turned to look at him and thought he was quite adorable too.
"Xiao Xi, let me take your picture," he said.
He brought a camera specifically for this trip and asked Mu Zheng to teach him how to use it.
"Okay." Ye Qingxi said, raising her hand and making a "V" sign.
Qin Yuan waited for Qin Cheng to finish taking pictures before taking the camera herself and starting to take pictures for them.
He wasn't interested in these marine creatures, so he just followed behind Ye Qingxi and Qin Cheng, chatting with Qiu Yue.
"Have you figured it out?" he asked.
"Yes." Qiu Yue nodded. "Sometimes, letting go doesn't seem so difficult."
"That's right." Qin Yuan said disdainfully, "You're not some tragic drama male lead, why are you always acting out 'Dad, look at me again'? The thing is, even if you act it out, nobody will watch."
Qiu Yue: ...
"You're getting more and more sharp with your words these days."
"Honest advice is hard to swallow," Qin Yuan said. "Looking at it this way, I see that there are quite a few tragic protagonists around me."
Qiu Yue: "Huh?"
"My sister and brother-in-law~" Qin Yuan chuckled, but of course she couldn't tell Qiu Yue about this, otherwise it would ruin his brother-in-law's image!
Fortunately, Qin Yuan thought, his nephew wasn't.
Neither of them are his nephews.
He followed Ye Qingxi and Qin Cheng, and after the two had finished playing, he took the two children out of the museum.
Qiu Yue had already booked the restaurant and the cake.
When Ye Qingxi saw the cake, he realized that the cake Qiu Yue had ordered this time was somewhat similar to the one he had wanted to give him before.
"The little black cat you mentioned before~" Qiu Yue pointed it out to him.
Ye Qingxi unconsciously raised the corners of her lips, thinking that he was really thoughtful. He had only mentioned it once, but he had always remembered it.
He picked up the little black cat and placed it on Qiu Yue's plate, saying, "This was originally something I wanted to give to you."
After saying that, he added, "I washed my hands, and they're really clean!"
Ye Qingxi opened her small hands and waved them to show him.
Qiu Yue laughed heartily, "I didn't look down on you."
After he finished speaking, he cut a piece of cake for Ye Qingxi and then cut a piece for Qin Cheng.
Finally, a piece was cut for both Qin Yuan and him.
“Come on, let’s eat this cake today. When my company opens, I’ll treat you to an even bigger cake.” He looked at Ye Qingxi and Qin Cheng.
“Okay~” Ye Qingxi agreed.
Then it might not be your company anymore, it might be our company~
Thinking this, he went back in the afternoon and, after confirming that Qin Cheng had arrived home and Qin Yuan had left, he quickly called Qin Yuan.
Qin Yuan was still driving when she heard her phone ring. Seeing it was him, she answered it.
"What's wrong, Xiaoxi? Did you leave something in the car?"
Ye Qingxi shook her head, "No."
"Then call me?"
Ye Qingxi laughed, "Uncle, I'll treat you to lunch tomorrow."
Qin Yuan chuckled, "Why are you suddenly inviting me to dinner?"
"It's a secret," Ye Qingxi said. "Uncle, are you free tomorrow? What would you like to eat?"
"Anything is fine with me, Xiaoxi. What would you like to eat?"
"It's my treat, so of course I'll see what you want to eat."
Qin Yuan thought for a moment, "Then let's have Cantonese dim sum. I'll take you to a good Cantonese dim sum restaurant."
"Okay," Ye Qingxi agreed, "but it's just the two of us, Uncle~ You can't bring my brother~ because it's our little secret~"
Qin Yuan became even more curious.
Their little secret?
Ye Qingxi has a little secret that Qin Cheng can't know, but he can.
That's truly rare.
“Okay,” Qin Yuan agreed. “Then you can’t tell your brother about this. Otherwise, he might get jealous if he finds out we’re having a meal together without him.”
"Okay." Ye Qingxi nodded. "Then I'll come see you tomorrow at noon, Uncle."
"I'll come pick you up," Qin Yuan said.
"No need, I'll ride in Uncle Li's car, we'll be there soon. Uncle, you go to work well~ I won't keep you too late~"
"Who taught you all this?" Qin Yuan was amused by him again. "It's okay, your uncle isn't busy lately, he'll pick you up when he has time."
"Alright then," Ye Qingxi agreed. "See you tomorrow!"
"Okay," Qin Yuan said with a smile.
He hung up the phone, thinking that Ye Qingxi was really quirky and clever.
He was quite curious about the little secret he was going to tell him.
Therefore, Qin Yuan did not go directly to the company the next morning. Instead, she slept in late, which was rare for her. After getting up, she sent a WeChat message to Ye Qingxi, asking if he was awake.
Ye Qingxi didn't reply to him; it seemed she hadn't woken up yet.
Qin Yuan made a simple breakfast, and just after she finished eating, she received a WeChat message from Ye Qingxi.
It's a voice message.
He clicked on it, and Ye Qingxi's slightly childish voice came through, soft and sweet, still a little sleepy, "Uncle, I'm awake~"
Qin Yuan replied to him, "Then go change your clothes and have breakfast. I'll drive over now."
After sending it, he added, "Don't eat too much, or you won't have room for snacks later~"
“Okay,” Ye Qingxi replied.
He finished washing up and changed his clothes.
Seeing his attire, Mu Shaoting asked, "Are you going out again today?"
Ye Qingxi nodded.
Mu Shaoting remarked, "You really are busy."
Ye Qingxi felt it was alright; the schedule was much more relaxed than when she was in school.
“I’ve already spoken to Grandpa,” he said.
Hearing this, Mu Shaoting felt relieved. "Then you can go out now. But who are you with today? Is it still Xiao Cheng and Xiao Cheng's uncle?"
Ye Qingxi: ...
Ye Qingxi thought for a moment and then moved closer to Mu Shaoting.
"Auntie, I'm telling you, but please don't tell my brother, okay? I went out with Uncle Qin Yuan."
Mu Shaoting asked in surprise, "Why didn't you bring Xiao Cheng?"
Ye Qingxi: ...
Ye Qingxi racked her brains, "The New Year is coming soon, and I want to buy my brother a gift, but I'm afraid he won't like it if I choose one, so I want to ask Uncle Qin Yuan for some suggestions."
Mu Shaoting nodded; it was something their lovely and thoughtful little Xi baby would do.
So she bent down and pinched Ye Qingxi's little face, "Does Auntie have a gift?"
Ye Qingxi nodded, "Auntie, what do you want?"
"Anything is fine." Mu Shaoting tapped the tip of his nose. "Auntie likes everything you buy."
"Then I'll buy you a bracelet, Auntie," Ye Qingxi said. "You can wear it when spring comes."
“Great!” Mu Shaoting laughed, “It’ll match the necklace you gave me before.”
"Mm." Ye Qingxi nodded.
Mu Shaoting ruffled his hair. So cute!
She also wants to buy a gift for her little nephew.
Not only does she want to buy...
Mu Shaoting opened the WeChat group for the four of them, his siblings and his brother.
Mu Shaoting: [Don't blame me for not telling you in advance, Xiao Xi is already showing you her New Year's gifts, so you can decide for yourselves.]
Mu Shaoyan had just finished a test paper and was about to relax after class when he saw this message. He immediately picked up his pen and switched to a test paper for another subject.
"What rest?! The New Year's gift Ye Qingxi wants most is for him to do better on his final exams than last time."
However, you can prepare another gift.
Mu Shaoyan: [Understood. Useful information. Reward!]
He sent a red envelope.
Mu Shaoting opened it and put it in his pocket.
After finishing his filming, Mu Shaowu saw this news and immediately started searching for children's products from various brands to choose one for Ye Qingxi.
Mu Shaowu: [Useful intelligence, reward~]
Another red envelope.
Mu Zheng: [Okay.]
Then came another red envelope.
Mu Shaoting collected them one by one, then privately messaged his older brother, reminding him: "Brother, can you ask Xiao Cheng to prepare one too?"
Otherwise, if Ye Qingxi prepares something for Qin Cheng, but Qin Cheng doesn't prepare anything for Ye Qingxi, how heartbroken their little Xi baby would be.
Mu Zheng: [Mm.]
He sent Mu Shaoting another red envelope.
Mu Shaoting collected all the red envelopes, added some of his own money, and sent a lucky number to Ye Qingxi.
Ye Qingxi, who was eating steamed egg custard: ? ? ?
Ye Qingxi was confused and looked up to ask her, "Auntie, why did you suddenly send me a red envelope?"
Mu Shaoting: Of course it's taken from you, so it's given back to you!
"You're going out, right? Take some money with you. Don't just buy things for Xiao Cheng, buy some for yourself too."
"I have money." Ye Qingxi shook his smartwatch.
He even brought the bank card he had received earlier with him when he went out today, just so he would have enough money to give Qin Yuan.
Ye Qingxi had already thought it through. He didn't need to spend too much; one million would suffice, and that would be enough money in his bank accounts.
Since these cards were originally intended as a gift to him, they weren't linked to SMS notifications, so he could spend them as he pleased.
Therefore, no one would know that he used this money to get Qin Yuan to help him invest in Qiu Yue's company.
No one knew, only he and Qin Yuan knew.
Ye Qingxi was too embarrassed to let Qin Yuan pay one million. He had already troubled Qin Yuan enough by asking her to invest in Qiu Yue's company in his own name, so naturally he would pay for it himself.
In this way, the profit belongs to him.
If we lose money, it has nothing to do with anyone else.
