Chapter 123 (Second Update)
one two three:
Thinking this, Ye Qingxi couldn't help but want to get closer to him, so he asked, "Uncle, do you have time tomorrow? I can invite you to dinner tomorrow."
Qin Yuan laughed out loud, "What kind of little tycoon are you, treating people to meals every day?"
Ye Qingxi laughed and said, "If you pay for it, I'll save money and can treat you to a meal~"
"Then wait until I've talked to your Uncle Qiu Yue and finalized this matter for you, then you can treat me to a meal." He pinched Ye Qingxi's little face.
Ye Qingxi nodded, "Okay~"
After they finished speaking, the waiter brought out the freshly made desserts.
Qin Yuan then put him down from her arms and started eating with him.
After finishing their meal, Qin Yuan checked her watch and asked him, "Do you want to go home or play a little longer?"
Ye Qingxi shook her head, "I don't want to."
He looked at Qin Yuan and said, "I'm going to buy something."
"What should we buy?" Qin Yuan asked curiously.
"The New Year is coming soon, and I need to buy New Year's gifts for everyone."
Qin Yuan chuckled, "You're so young, yet you have so many things to worry about, even buying New Year's gifts?"
“Yes.” Ye Qingxi nodded. “I told my aunt today that we came out to buy gifts. If we don’t buy something to take back, we’ll be found out.”
"Shall I take you to the mall?"
"Okay," Ye Qingxi replied.
Qin Yuan pulled him out the door and drove him to a nearby shopping mall.
Ye Qingxi asked him, "Uncle, what does Brother Qin Cheng like?"
"He likes guns, I'll take you to buy one."
“Okay~” Ye Qingxi said.
Qin Yuan took him to the children's toy section and bought Qin Cheng a somewhat realistic machine gun.
He asked Ye Qingxi, "What do you like?"
I like everything.
“Well, I do have a favorite too~” Qin Yuan said.
Ye Qingxi thought for a moment and said to him, "Then I like the robot you gave me before, Uncle. It's fun!"
"Then your uncle will give you another one another day."
"Okay," Ye Qingxi replied.
Qin Yuan noticed that he kept refusing to mention what he liked best in the mall, and figured he probably knew she wanted to buy it for him but was too embarrassed to say so.
So he bought Ye Qingxi the same gun as Qin Cheng, saying, "Here, this is for you, so you and Xiao Cheng each have one."
"Thank you, Uncle." Ye Qingxi accepted it happily without refusing.
Qin Yuan patted his head and left the children's toy section with him.
Ye Qingxi was still thinking about buying a bracelet for Mu Shaoting, so when they passed by a luxury brand, she pulled Qin Yuan inside to take a look.
When the saleswomen saw Qin Yuan, they all greeted her warmly.
Unfortunately, Ye Qingxi looked for a long time but didn't find anything she liked.
He walked around, not liking the bracelet, but unexpectedly taking a liking to a watch.
"I'd like to see this," Ye Qingxi said, pointing to a watch in the glass case.
The saleswoman glanced at Qin Yuan beside him, and seeing him nod, she took her out.
"This is a new product for this season - the Fly series. The watch strap comes in three colors: Feather White, Starry Sky Blue, and Saddle Brown, which respectively represent metamorphosis into a butterfly, soaring through the starry sky, and galloping horse. The one you are holding now is the Galloping Horse."
Ye Qingxi looked at it; the brown strap had a high-quality feel, the dial was very elegant, and the hour hand was made into a light feather, with the tip pointing to the time.
"Not bad," Qin Yuan said. "But if you want to give it to your aunt, a white strap would be better for matching her clothes."
“My aunt doesn’t wear watches much,” Ye Qingxi said.
Mu Shaoting prefers to wear jewelry such as bracelets and bangles on his left hand and ornaments such as rings on his right hand, so he doesn't wear watches very often.
She usually keeps her phone with her at all times, and is always using it to check the time.
Upon hearing this, Qin Yuan nodded. "So, are you showing this to your father?"
Ye Qingxi shook his head, then turned and took Qin Yuan's hand, looking at the watch on his wrist. "Uncle, would you like to try this?"
He said, "This suits you very well. Fly means to fly, like a kite soaring to the sky, which matches your name perfectly."
Qin Yuan was taken aback.
He didn't expect Ye Qingxi to buy him a gift.
When Ye Qingxi said he was going to buy New Year's gifts, he subconsciously felt that she was going to buy them for the Mu family. Even though Ye Qingxi bought them for Qin Cheng, he didn't feel that it had anything to do with him.
Because Qin Cheng is also a member of the Mu family, he should have been called Mu Cheng.
But he was not a member of the Mu family.
As far as Qin Yuan was concerned, although he treated Ye Qingxi as his own nephew, he did not actually expect Ye Qingxi to treat him as her own uncle.
He didn't think Ye Qingxi needed to treat him as her uncle.
He owes Ye Qingxi two favors.
But Ye Qingxi never owed him anything.
Therefore, Qin Yuan never asked anything of Ye Qingxi.
He was older than him and grateful to him, so naturally he should treat him well and help him.
This was a one-sided love. Qin Yuan never intended to turn it into a two-way relationship, nor did she feel she had the right to do so.
But now, Ye Qingxi has turned it into a two-way street.
He picked out a gift for him.
A gift that suited him perfectly but was unexpected.
His demeanor was so natural, and his eyes so clear.
He looked at him, pure as an elf under the sun.
"Uncle, do you like it?" Ye Qingxi asked.
At that moment, Qin Yuan felt a subtle and delicate tenderness.
Like willow branches entwined in spring, gently tugging at the heart that should be calm.
He has received a lot of love throughout his life.
Some came from parents and sisters, some from friends, and some from men and women they knew or didn't know.
Yet he still felt surprised and lucky by the unintentional affection Ye Qingxi showed for him.
Ye Qingxi likes him too.
He seems to treat him like his own uncle.
That's true, Qin Yuan thought. He was just a kid, and he hadn't told anyone else about such a big thing as wanting to become a shareholder in Qiu Yue's company. He only told him, hoping that he could help him and that he could take his place as a shareholder first.
This shows that he trusts him.
He trusted him and was willing to give him money. Even if he was too old to understand money, he should know that money is a good thing.
You should also know that you can't just give it to anyone else.
He knew, of course, that he couldn't just give it to anyone else, so he didn't talk to Qiu Yue directly, but instead approached him first to discuss it.
Qin Yuan smiled slowly.
He finally realized that Ye Qingxi actually made a clear distinction in her heart.
Qiu Yue is the uncle, and he is the maternal uncle. The maternal uncle and the maternal uncle are different.
Therefore, there are some things you can say to your maternal uncle, but not to your paternal uncle.
Qin Yuan was delighted by this discovery.
He nodded and said softly, "I like it very much."
"Then give it a try," Ye Qingxi said.
Qin Yuan readily accepted the suggestion, taking off her own wristwatch and replacing it with the one Ye Qingxi had chosen for her.
The brown strap goes well with men's clothing, and the simple and elegant dial makes it suitable for any occasion.
The saleswoman quickly praised, "It suits you perfectly, sir. Your nephew has excellent taste."
Ye Qingxi also thought it was good, "Uncle, do you think this color is better or blue?"
"This one will do," Qin Yuan said.
Ye Qingxi nodded, also feeling that this was more suitable for Qin Yuan.
"Then I'll go pay the bill."
"I'll pay." Qin Yuan patted his head.
Ye Qingxi shook her head, "Of course you should pay for the gifts yourself!"
He said, "I have money, don't worry, Uncle!"
After saying that, he winked at Qin Yuan.
Qin Yuan was charmed by his little gesture. After thinking for a moment, she decided that she could secretly add the money from the table to Ye Qingxi's dividends—after all, her little nephew certainly wouldn't know how much Qiu Yue's company made each year, or how much he, as a minor shareholder, could receive.
“Okay,” he replied.
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingxi, fearing he might change his mind, quickly ran to the counter.
Qin Yuan followed him and saw him take a bank card out of his backpack.
"Swipe your card."
Saleswoman: ...
The saleswoman silently swiped his card, her heart filled with envy: "Goodbye, young master. Please come again anytime. Contact us if you need anything!"
Ye Qingxi browsed around some more, but didn't find anything she liked, so she didn't buy anything for the time being. She planned to check the official website when she got back or go to other shopping malls in a few days.
Seeing this, Qin Yuan took him home.
He said goodbye to Ye Qingxi and, without delay, immediately called Qiu Yue to invite him to dinner that evening.
Qiu Yue: ? ? ?
"What's up?"
What can't be said over the phone?
"Mm," Qin Yuan said.
"Okay," Qiu Yue replied.
Qin Yuan hung up the phone and couldn't help but look at the watch Ye Qingxi had given him again.
I must say, this kid has really good taste; the more you look at this watch, the better it looks.
Qin Yuan looked left and right, near and far, for a long time before taking out her phone and snapping a few pictures.
He only realized he was editing his WeChat Moments post when he suddenly woke up from his daze and quickly deleted the picture and text.
—It wouldn't be good if his little nephew saw this.
At this moment, Qin Yuan felt a subtle sense of guilt.
It's like he has two cats. Of course, he loves his native cat more, but the new kitten is rubbing against him. He's happy to pet it, but he's also afraid that his native cat will see him.
Qin Yuan silently wiped the sweat from her brow, then drove off to have dinner with Qiu Yue.
Qiu Yue was stunned for a long time when he heard that he wanted to become a shareholder of Jinyue.
"Are you serious?"
"certainly."
Qiu Yue: ...
Qiu Yue felt it was unnecessary.
“I’m just starting my own business, not leaving with nothing. My savings are enough for me to open a new Jinyue.”
"This isn't about money."
"Then what is this?"
Qin Yuan had already thought it through on the way here. "Qiu Yue, you left Rong Sheng and started Jin Yue on your own. You know you won't help Qiu Lu or your parents, but Mu Zheng doesn't know that. Xiao Xi has a good impression of you, so he won't suppress you. But he doesn't know your determination, so he won't let you develop too well. This isn't something that money can solve, but my involvement can."
“I am his brother-in-law. Mu Zheng might target you, but he would never target me. That’s why I need to invest in your company.”
Qiu Yue: ...
Qiu Yue felt that what he said made a lot of sense, so much so that he was speechless.
"Don't worry, my shareholding will definitely be smaller than yours, so you will still have decision-making power, and I will share the risks with you, which will not do you any harm."
Qiu Yue: ...
"What do you think?" Qin Yuan asked.
Qiu Yue felt that he must have really made a lot of money in the past few years!
It's true what they say, fortunes change every thirty years. Back then, he sat next to Qin Yuan and asked him if he wanted to join their company, but now, Qin Yuan is sitting across from him, saying he's willing to invest in his company.
Life is truly a wondrous thing.
"Sure," Qiu Yue said without objection.
Having more people help you increases your chances of success.
Moreover, Qin Yuan is far more experienced than him on the road to entrepreneurship.
“This is a profit for me,” Qiu Yue said. “Then I’ll have to trouble you, brother-in-law.”
Qin Yuan: ……
