If it was just a 200 million project, they wouldn't have to go so far to discuss business.
"European...Euro?" Meng Chuyuan was silent for two or three seconds and calculated a rough amount in his mind, with obvious surprise on his face: "So much?"
She originally thought that the six points Lu Qingye wanted for her were already considered a lion's mouth, but she didn't expect that it could be doubled so many times.
She didn't regard Lu Qingye as an outsider, and she didn't know how to restrain herself from being a money-lover.
When he thought that this huge sum of money would be transferred to his account in the future, Meng Chuyuan could not help but raise the corners of his lips, with a smile in his eyes and two shallow dimples on his cheeks.
Seeing her smiling so happily, Lu Qingye fell into doubt: "Did you just say you didn't have the nerve to ask for it?"
I just corrected the first half of Meng Chuyuan's sentence, and he also heard the rest.
When he came down, Meng Chuyuan's conversation had ended, so that Lu Qingye had no idea what they talked about.
Meng Chuyuan looked up at him and asked back seriously: "How do you know what I said was not polite?"
"..."
He was happy, but Meng Chuyuan still kept a clear head: "But with so much money, is it appropriate for me to hold it?"
It's true that she brought the jade back, but the money she spent on it all belonged to Lu Qingye.
Seeing that she was a little confused, Lu Qingye found a good reason to persuade her: "Just think of it as the money he gave you to change his confession."

The weather has been half sunny and half cloudy recently, and towards noon, the sunshine has become slightly milder.
In this late autumn and early winter season, Qi Yan woke up at dawn and drove alone from the villa in the suburbs to the old street in the city.
She thought she came out early enough, but when she arrived, she found that all the shops in the streets were open for business, and there were long queues in front of the shops early in the morning.
Qi Yan had a phone call with her grandma a while ago. While they were chatting, her grandma said she missed the dim sum shop at Laojiekou.
In order to buy this snack, Qi Yan queued up all morning.
At this time, she had arrived at Qi's house and the car was parked on the side of the road.
Since her father's second marriage, Qi Yan has moved out to live on her own, and is occasionally called home during holidays.
Her car parked on the road was so conspicuous that the helper who came out to clean the fallen leaves recognized it as Qi Yan's car at a glance. He shouted loudly, and everyone inside and outside the house soon knew that she was back.
In fact, before she was ready to go in, the housekeeper came up to her and talked to her: "Miss, why didn't you say anything when you came back?"
Qi Yan got out of the car, closed the car door indifferently, and turned to look at the housekeeper next to her: "What? I have to report now when I go back to my home?"
"That's not what I meant." The housekeeper suddenly looked a little humble in front of her, and his voice became softer. "If you inform me in advance, I can have someone buy your favorite dishes."
"No need." She didn't even want to drive in, so she had no intention of staying for dinner.
The weather has been getting colder recently. Qi Yan came back this time just to see her grandma, and by the way, she brought her snacks from the restaurant in Laojiekou.
After she entered the house, she went straight to the direction where her grandma lived, without passing through the main courtyard at all.
Grandma Qi was sitting in a wheelchair, basking in the sun in the small courtyard. She saw a figure walking towards her from a distance. When the person approached, she saw clearly that it was her granddaughter.
"Yanyan, why are you free to see me today?"
It was a rare occasion for Qi Yan to come back on her own initiative, and Mrs. Qi was so happy that she couldn't open her mouth from ear to ear.
"Grandma, didn't you say you wanted to eat Cantonese dim sum at Laojiekou last time?" Qi Yan raised the things in her hands and explained to grandma: "I went over to buy them this morning. It's probably cold now." I’ll take it to the kitchen later and let them heat it up for you.”
She hated this family, but she was completely obedient to her grandma.
In front of her grandma, Qi Yan will consciously restrain her temper and find ways to make her happy.
When it was about to have lunch, Qi Yan said in advance that she was leaving, but grandma insisted on staying: "Yanyan, please finish eating with grandma before leaving. You haven't been back for a long time."
Before Qi Yan could refuse, her father suddenly appeared in the courtyard.
"Mom, I'm here to pick you up for dinner." Seeing Qi Yan also there, Qi's father's eyes showed no surprise or any change in emotion. He glanced at her with a cold gaze and said, "You're back?"
Faced with his tepid attitude, Qi Yan ignored him and spoke directly to her grandma: "Grandma, I'm leaving now. I'll come over to see you another day when I'm free."
"Stop." Seeing that she didn't see him as a 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 cooked by Lu Jinsen.
He knew that Lu Qingye was leaving in the afternoon, so he made three more reliable dishes.
"Brother, these are the sweet and sour fish, crispy roast pork, and braised eggplant that I made."
The remaining fish head and tofu soup and cabbage-wrapped pork were made by Meng Chuyuan.
Lu Qingye was still looking at his mobile phone at the dining table, dealing with work matters. When faced with Lu Jinsen's introduction, he just gave a perfunctory hum and had no time to use his chopsticks.
Unable to get an effective response from Lu Qingye, his eyes slowly shifted to Meng Chuyuan.
Without Lu Jinsen opening his mouth, Meng Chuyuan could read his eyes, and the chopsticks in his hand consciously reached towards the plate of braised eggplant.
After Meng Chuyuan tasted the soft and delicious eggplant, he nodded with satisfaction: "This tastes good."
Lin Youjuan first served a bowl of tofu soup to drink. Although she saw Meng Chuyuan try the dishes in person, she still had concerns: "His dishes look okay, are they really edible?"
"It's edible." Meng Chuyuan personally put the braised eggplant over to Lin Youjuan: "This eggplant tastes pretty good, you can try it."
Seeing the piece of eggplant in her bowl, Lin Youjuan hesitated for a while, but finally decided to try it.
When she tasted Lu Jinsen's cooking for the first time, she was very careful. She bit off a piece of eggplant as small as a fingernail and tasted it. After finding that the taste was right, Lin Youjuan finished the rest and said, "Lao Er's skills are good. "
Lu Qingye turned off his phone and saw that they were both praising Lu Jinsen's improvement in cooking skills. He also picked up his chopsticks and tried the dish: "It's okay."
After receiving the unanimous vote, Lu Jinsen put his hand on his neck and smiled restrainedly.
Lu Qingye looked up at him and reminded: "Remember to apply what you have learned."
"I see."
Lu Qingye knew that their variety show would restart next week, and this time would allow Lu Jinsen to learn a few more dishes.
The word "learn to apply what you learn" was his hint to Lu Jinsen.
Meng Chuyuan didn't understand their conversation, and her attention was instead on Lu Qingye.
She filled a bowl of rice for Lu Qingye and placed it in front of him: "Don't you have a flight to catch in the afternoon? Eat quickly."
