MTL - Group Pet Eldest Lady, She Just Wants To Be A Salted Fish-Chapter 38
Qi Zhiyan put on her coat and stopped when she turned around. The auction of "Hundred Miles of Rivers and Mountains" downstairs has just ended.
Qi Zhiyan glanced sideways and lowered her head.
Yu Chi took the photo for 90 million yuan, with a smile on his face.
There was applause downstairs.
Qi Zhiyan stopped.
If Ruan You didn't show up, she didn't know Yu Chi's plan, and she would definitely participate in the bidding and not let the picture of Jiangshan fall into Yu Chi's hands, then the final transaction price of this lot might double.
At that time, Yu Chi's wish for cooperation could not be realized, and instead cost her tens of millions more.
She has met many people who ask for help, but she has never seen someone who puts the other party together when asking for help.
It is true that some are smart.
Qi Zhiyan's brows and eyes tightened.
At first, she didn't want to give up the picture of Jiangshan to Yu Chi, so she wanted to teach her a lesson. Thinking about it carefully, the lot Yu Chi bought was useless, and she deliberately raised the price instead of lowering her status.
When the time comes, Yu Chi will realize it by himself.
Qi Zhiyan doesn't like people who are twisted and twisted, their hearts are like eighteen bends in a mountain road, and they can pop out 800 minds a day. Ruan You is obviously not this kind of person.
She was a little lazy, but she was smart with her small head. If there was any request, she would say it directly, without having to guess hard.
Qi Zhiyan turned her head, Ruan You looked down at the check thoughtfully, like a penguin.
She couldn't help admonishing: "In the future, you have to learn to be more careful about business matters. If you don't ask you to come forward for other group matters, as the eldest lady of the Gu family, it's best not to intervene, let alone help."
It is the principle of "distinguishing between public and private" that the several major families in Marysue City have been able to maintain peace, harmony and stability. No matter how good your personal relationship is, you must maintain absolute rationality in family and company affairs.
In a sense, Ruan You represents the Gu family of the Dinghao family.
If there are rumors that she is helping relatives but not helping her, many people will approach her intentionally. In addition, Gu Fuchen has joined the outrageous "Youyou Little Poor Gang", Ruan You's request, it is impossible for Gu Fuchen not to agree.
It's okay to give others small favors, but it's even more unpleasant to associate with people with impure thoughts.
He greeted you with a smile on the surface, but he actually regarded you as a tool of the superior.
Qi Zhiyan frowned and reminded: "Enjoy life well, don't be too simple when it comes to things in the business circle, and be careful."
Ruan You was stunned.
simple?
She really didn't.
"I have a lot of eyes. I did this to let you go to dinner with us, oh, and the Gu family." Ruan You raised her eyes and tried to be innocent.
She is not stupid and sweet, she is a "bad woman" with a lot of eyes.
However-
Qi Zhiyan looked helplessly, sighed and asked the little assistant to come in, took the documents and the two left.
Ruan You stamped her feet anxiously, and repeated loudly to Qi Zhiyan's back: "I'm really not innocent!"
Why no one believes her.
hateful!
Qi Zhiyan didn't stop, looking at the document sent by the special assistant with a half-smile.
The assistant at the side held back for a while and couldn't hold back: "Are you friends with Ms. Ruan?"
In private, Ms. Ruan is... weird and cute (?
The little assistant was someone the family arranged by her side, and Qi Zhiyan knew exactly who she was asking for and who she wanted to report to.
Qi Zhiyan's smile faded: "Don't ask if you shouldn't."
Ruan You is pure and true.
If you are straightforward with your friends, you will give your enemies eight hundred hearts.
Being friends with this kind of person is the most comfortable.
Behind Qi Zhiyan, Ruan You stood on the second floor and looked sideways at Qi Zhiyan's back disappearing into the entrance of the first floor, holding her cheek with one hand and thinking about something seriously.
When I went out today, Jiang Huai gave her money, and Qi Zhiyan also gave her money.
Why didn't she have a cool moment of picking up a check and swishing money to someone.
But compared to giving money, of course it’s more fun to take money~
Ruan You smiled and shook the 10 million check in her hand, put it back in her bag and bounced away from the auction.
Qi Zhiyan has ten million errand orders, let's go now!
Eight hours later, Ruan You took a private plane to a century-old auction house in N City, Country F. In an hour and a half, the most anticipated auction of the year will be held here.
Among them, there are two items that are highly anticipated by domestic antique collectors, the Seven Star Plate and the Ru Kiln Azure Glaze Wash.
When Ruan You came to find treasure appraisal experts to estimate the price, the price of the two lots was about 250 million.
The seven-star plate was photographed and given to Qi Zhiyan, and the Ru kiln azure glaze wash was bought and given to the museum. As an entrepreneur in Marysue, the Gu family still has to bear some social responsibilities.
Buy buy buy, this time, take back everything that belongs to us in a fair manner!
When Ruan You entered the arena, a kind old couple came over, "This is the first time I saw you at the auction house, little girl new here?"
Wei Wen hurriedly answered for Ruan You: "Yes, do you have any suggestions?"
The old couple looked at each other and smiled: "Try to get the price as low as possible."
Ruan You suddenly realized that he couldn't send them too much money.
She made an "OK" gesture.
The seven-star dish and the Ru Kiln Sky Blue Glaze Wash appeared at the beginning. The starting auction price of the Ru Kiln Sky Blue Glaze Wash was 95.43 million at the domestic exchange rate.
Seeing that they were Chinese, the old couple put down their hands that wanted to clap, and the same was true for several other Chinese.
The final transaction price was 125 million. Things went very smoothly, but when the seven-star plate appeared, the situation was very different.
The old couple obviously came for this lot, and they were the first to bid. Ruan You wanted to bid, but thinking of the other party's concession just now, she gritted her teeth and didn't take the bid.
A dime that can be saved is a dime, and no more can be added.
In the end, she watched helplessly as the Seven Star Plate was auctioned off by the old couple at a price of 130 million. After the two left, Ruan You hurriedly followed.
She followed behind the old couple and asked tentatively: "Uncle and aunt, did you take this photo to keep it as a treasure, or just because you don't want it to be left out?"
The old woman smiled and asked, "You want it too?"
At the auction just now, she saw this young man looking at them time and time again, twisting the silk scarf into a twist with both hands, revealing grape-like eyes full of reluctance, pity and weakness.
She and her husband expected that the young man would come to them later.
"I took pictures for my friend. Her grandfather liked this collection very much. The old man was crying and beating his chest at home, saying that he was heartbroken if he couldn't see the Seven Star Plate. Now that he is about to celebrate his birthday, my friend asked me to come over for her. If it's for the latter, I'll add some money to you, and you can sell me, and this will also achieve your goal~" Ruan You tilted her head and said with a smile.
She was actually right.
The old man of the Qi family loves the Qixing plate very much. After this treasure was photographed in the novel, he cried and cried at home and felt uncomfortable for a long time, but he secretly hid in the study and wept silently alone. No one else, including Qi Zhiyan, knew about him. The old crying bag side.
The old man also wants face, how could he easily reveal this kind of thing to the younger generation.
A year later, the male lead, Cheng Guyuan, sold the collection of seven-star discs to the old man at a high price from his friend, winning the old man's favor and making a net profit of 200 million yuan.
The Cheng family in Longaotian City and the Qi family in Marysu City have reached a good cooperation, and the relationship between the two is very close. As a result, when the Cheng family proposed a commercial marriage, the old man was so angry that he immediately sent the Seven Star Plate back, and also gave the Cheng family's parents a sentence: "The toad wants to eat swan meat".
Ruan You remembers very clearly that Qi Zhiyan also has a cute e-sports brother who is very good at playing games.
弟弟跑到程故远面前狠狠揍了他一顿，嘴上哇哇叫着“我姐姐虽然不喜欢我，但我是她弟弟，永远的弟弟，就你这臭垃圾也想跟我姐姐联姻， Say you are shameless, you really are shameless..."
In the end, the two of them were hung with colors. Cheng Guyuan was beaten and scolded as swan meat again, and as the protagonist of the novel, he was depressed to the extreme. After that, the Qi family became the cannon fodder for the male protagonist to beat his face.
The couple looked at each other.
Big birthday?
The two of them knew a man who was about to celebrate his birthday, the old man of the Qi family.
The young man in front of him spends money without blinking. There are not many people with such financial resources.
but…
Crying and crying heartache?
Does the old man of the Qi family really love him so much?
The couple only took photos to prevent the treasure from falling into other people's hands. The young man in front of him and the old man in her words really wanted it, so they asked the assistant to transfer it.
Ruan You asked Wei Wen to stay here to go through the formalities, added her uncle and aunt on WeChat, thanked her in every possible way, and went home.
The old couple glanced at her WeChat name - Chubby Cat.
Subconsciously looking at the young and thin back in front of him, it has nothing to do with being fat.
"She should be called Shoushou Mao." The old woman made a final decision, and was deeply impressed by Ruan You's WeChat name.
"When is Mr. Qi's birthday party coming?" the old woman asked her husband.
"Let's see... Today is December 1st and 8th. Gu Youqian and Ruan Liuyu will probably be there then."
…
Ruan You didn't know that she set up a weeping bag of "an orangutan beating his chest" for Mr. Qi, who was "brilliant and powerful, strong and decisive all his life, and admired by others".
Leaving in a big stride, he sent a message to Qi Zhiyan with arrogance.
[I bought the seven-star disk]
【Waiting to be praised by your grandpa~】
At ten o'clock in the evening, when Qi Zhiyan was about to fall asleep, he received a message from Ruan You.
His fingers paused, but he didn't return.
boast?
impossible.
Qi Zhiyan seldom communicates with his grandfather, but whenever he communicates, he talks about the company.
She is the established heir of the Qi family, and she didn't spend much time at home since she was a child. She started to study one-on-one when she was three years old. She went to aristocratic schools in junior high and high school, and didn't go home at night.
She stayed abroad for several years when she was in college, and directly inherited the Qi family when she came back. She is very indifferent to the relationship, and her family obviously prefers her good-for-nothing brother.
In order to reduce family conflicts and make parents complain less, she gives them something to appease them every few days and does some superficial projects.
Finally, there is the prosperous situation of "Hello, I, Hello, everyone" now. The whole family dotes on the good-for-nothing younger brother, she is in charge of the Qi family alone, and has a good harvest of rights and property.
Qi Zhiyan didn't care about being praised by his grandfather.
Having said that, she still suffered from insomnia at night.
At six o'clock the next morning, Qi Zhiyan sent Ruan You a WeChat message with dark circles under her eyes.
【Where are you going. 】
Just as Ruan You was called up by the little assistant, she sat up sleepily, her hair messed up like a chicken nest.
"Miss, the plane has landed. Mrs. Ruan is on her way home, and Mr. Gu Xiao has called you twice."
Hearing the words "Mrs. Ruan", Ruan You trembled all over, changed her clothes and hurried home.
The phone vibrated for a long time, Ruan You thought it was from his brother, and was a little nervous.
After receiving it, I realized that it was a memo she had set for herself.
[December 2, mother comes home]
Ruan You lingered on the word "Mom" for a long time, turned off her phone, sat in the car and stared out the window.
She was adopted by her second family, as was when her adoptive father brought her home.
The trees and shops outside the car window retreated quickly, and the adoptive father who came to pick her up was silent, and only said one sentence from the beginning to the end, "She chose you."
The second adoptive mother was very kind to her.
At first, Ruan You thought that good luck had really come to her.
Her adoptive mother bought her beautiful dresses, took her to dance classes, and picked her up after school. A month later, when she returned home, she accidentally ran into her adoptive father cheating on her young lover.
Running out the door in a panic, the adoptive mother was smoking in the stairwell, she looked up and saw her going downstairs in a hurry, and asked, "Did you see it?"
Ruan You cried and didn't know how to answer.
Then, domestic violence, alcoholism, and half a month later, the adoptive mother left with her luggage.
Ruan You begged her to take her with her.
The adoptive mother said: "I can't support you."
She cried and let go, watching her adoptive mother's back disappear into the corridor weakly, her mind was full of one question at that time.
"In that case, why bring her back, why, why, why."
There was hope in the orphanage, but in this home she had only fear.
Later, the little lover became her stepmother.
"Didi—"
Horns blare on the road.
Ruan You frowned, recovering from the memory.
The little assistant in the passenger seat turned around and said with a smile, "Miss, Mrs. Ruan is already home."
Ruan You nodded and smiled at her: "I know."
After finishing speaking, her smile faded, the car passed through the tunnel, and drove from the darkness to the light. She stared blankly at herself reflected in the car window, and gradually drove towards the light.
She bent her lips and tried to smile.
She has a nice smile.
…
When they got home, Ruan Liuyu was at the gate of the mansion, and Gu Fuchen was not at work, so he was also waiting at the gate.
The car stopped slowly at the door.
Ruan Liuyu was in a hurry, before the old housekeeper stepped forward to open the door, Gu Fuchen hurriedly opened the car door for Ruan You himself.
In the car, Ruan You raised her head and smiled at them, then scratched her head embarrassedly after getting out of the car: "I went out to do some errands."
Ruan Liuyu gently held her hand and looked it over carefully, "It's okay, it seems to be a little rounder than in the last video."
Ruan You nodded again and again, "I have gained four catties."
"It's better to be fatter, and have better physical fitness." Ruan Liuyu adjusted the scarf for her, couldn't hold back, and hugged her gently with restraint. At the moment of hugging her, years of waiting and longing rushed in, and her eyes instantly turned red. Two drops of tears were shed, and the back trembled slightly.
Ruan You subconsciously looked at Gu Fuchen at the side, her eyes widened and her whole body tensed like a stone statue.
Gu Fuchen smiled reassuringly, and made a gesture of patting her on the back.
The smile is warm, like the warm sun in March.
Ruan You's body gradually relaxed, and she patted Ruan Liuyu's back obediently.
Ruan Liuyu took a deep breath, calmed down, took Ruan You's hand and said, "Let's go have breakfast."
The table in the main dining room was replaced by a larger table for eight.
Ruan Liuyu saw his son's scheming at a glance, gave Gu Fuchen a meaningful expression, and gave him a thumbs up when Ruan You didn't find out.
Well done, the small dining table feels like home.
Gu Fuchen smiled lightly, with a profound appearance of "hiding merit and fame".
Ruan Liuyu didn't eat anything at breakfast, she watched Ruan You eat most of the time, and asked her a few questions from time to time.
"Did brother bully you during this time?"
Ruan You shook her head again and again.
Gu Fuchen poured Ruan Liuyu a glass of milk, very dissatisfied.
How could he bully his sister? Mom shouldn't make a fuss about him if she doesn't have a topic to talk about!
Sensing the frequent knives coming from her son, Ruan Liuyu smiled and asked, "Did my brother give you pocket money?"
Ruan You glanced at Gu Fuchen, nodded heavily, and made a small report by the way: "He assigned me homework that costs money."
Ruan Liuyu heard about this, "Have you been assigning homework recently?"
"No more, I still have a lot of money to spend." Ruan You ate a mouthful of sweet-scented osmanthus cake.
When mentioning this matter, Gu Fuchen was very proud: "Ruan Ruan is very powerful, the more money you spend, the more money you get."
Ruan Liuyu paused, and whispered beside her son, "Doesn't this mean that the pocket money you gave me was not spent, and instead I made some money for you, without spending any of your money. What are you happy about?"
Gu Fuchen smiled stiffly.
It seems to be the case.
He used to think that his younger sister would be immersed in the life of pleasure and enjoyment of money, so that after a while, she would gradually feel the goodness of a wealthy family.
now...
He doesn't know whether his sister likes money or not, he only knows—
My sister is very good at making money.
In the entertainment circle, who doesn't know that the fat cat with reverse operation is the "optimal choice" for happy investment.
Making money is the only advantage he can show.
Gu Fuchen: ...Suddenly began to despair.
It's not a good thing for my sister to be too good at making money.
Ruan You didn't know what they were talking about, she was immersed in cooking.
The food on the plane is not good.
She didn't eat much all day yesterday, and it was only when she got home that she finally felt the wonderful feeling she hadn't seen for a long time.
Ruan You was so hungry that she ate the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in big mouthfuls, and she swept away the small plate in an instant, enjoying it very much.
Gu Fuchen and Ruan Liuyu handed the sweet-scented osmanthus cake to her at the same time, and said in unison: "There are more."
After finishing speaking, both of them frowned at the same time.
Ruan Liuyu motioned her son to move his plate away; Gu Fuchen pretended not to see it.
On the road of feeding my sister, there is no family affection, only hand speed, whoever is faster will be the one who feeds!
Ruan You adhered to the principle of "the person who cooks the rice cooks the soul, and the person who cooks the rice is the master". She buried her head in hard work, saw two more plates of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, and raised her head with a smile: "Thank you."
"You're welcome." Ruan Liuyu and Gu Fuchen said in unison with a smile.
— My daughter/sister ate so deliciously, so cute!
After finishing speaking, the two looked at each other, their brows wrinkled again.
— The son/mom is so annoying.
Ruan Liuyu has never found her son so annoying. Ruan You stayed with her all day at home. They made desserts together. The time between mother and daughter was joyful, but from time to time an annoying son popped up around her.
"I'll help you meet."
Ruan Liuyu: "I'm making a face."
"Then I'll crack eggs for you."
Ruan You stared blankly at him holding the eggbeater.
Gu Fuchen had never made desserts, so he couldn't think of any other projects. The dessert time plan with his sister and mother failed, so he had to quit the kitchen and hold Baidu on his mobile phone at the door.
"Dessert in one minute."
—When he learns how to make desserts, he will use his solid strength and foundation to insert himself into the two-person world of his mother and sister, let them do it step by step and ask him one step at a time, and deeply understand the importance of him!
After studying for fifteen minutes, Gu Fu Chen drew inferences from one instance, and when he walked in full of confidence—
The pastry chef at home is guiding Ruan Liuyu and Ruan You step by step.
Gu Fuchen: ...
—he has never had a place in this kitchen.
Forget it, go back to the study to make money.
Gu Fuchen left dejectedly.
But Ruan You still remembers him.
I made a copy for him and asked the old housekeeper to deliver it himself.
After finishing the dessert, Ruan Liuyu took Ruan You to the greenhouse, where she and Gu Youqian planted many flowers and plants in person.
Ruan You smiled: "I gave Gu Fuchen a pot of hyacinths before. The hyacinths smell a bit strong. He put them in the bedroom and smoked them for two days. Now I put the flowers on his balcony."
Thinking of that scene, Ruan Liuyu smiled lightly. She bent slightly, pointed to the greenhouse in front of her and said, "When your father comes back, give him a present."
"what to give?"
"You can give whatever you want." Ruan Liuyu stood up, holding Ruan You's hand with both hands, her voice was soft and gentle, "Hey, he will be happy with whatever you give."
"He really wants to come back, but he's too busy to leave." Ruan Liuyu's eyes turned slightly red when she thought of Gu Youqian who was alone in the ward, "Father and mother have been waiting for you for a long time, we can continue to wait."
Waiting for the day when the daughter officially calls them parents and Gu Fuchen.
In fact, Ruan Liuyu returned to China a long time ago.
At that time, she and Gu Youqian had just heard the news about Ruan You, and Gu Youqian silently urged her to return home as soon as possible while still in the ICU ward the day after the operation.
Ruan Liuyu went to the place where Ruan You lived when she was young, and wanted to see her daughter's growth environment. There, she met the mother of Ruan You's best friend.
Her Yo Yo is very kind.
Not willing to let the family who loves her be wronged.
She, Gu Youqian and Gu Fuchen didn't want Youyou to be wronged either.
They waited for a long, long time, and could wait two more days.
Yoyo's current state is much better than what Mother Lu said, and she will take the initiative to give her brother a portion of the dessert after she finishes making it.
Before leaving at night, Gu Fuchen came down to see her off.
"Come on, give me a hug." Ruan Liuyu said.
In front of Ruan Ruan, Gu Fuchen was not happy.
He is so old, he is a mature boss, who would want his mother to hug him, he is not a mother boy.
While still refusing, Ruan Liuyu hugged him and said softly, "Chen Chen, thank you for your hard work."
Gu Fuchen was slightly taken aback, and pursed his lips.
"Yo Yo is willing to accompany me all day, without alienation and embarrassment, it's all because of your influence."
"You are a good brother, you have to believe in yourself."
Gu Fuchen gave a low "hmm".
Letting go of Gu Fuchen, Ruan Liuyu hugged Ruan You again.
This time Ruan You got used to it, and reached out to hug her mother.
Mother's body is very fragrant, a touch of gardenia fragrance.
When parting, Ruan Liuyu finally thought of something, took out a small note from her bag, and smiled lightly: "I almost forgot about it."
"Your father said that he was very happy to see you spending money on the Internet recently. We have also heard a little about your famous deeds. You spend your money well. What he wants to tell you is on it."
"There are still about three or four days. I will come back after my work with my father."
Ruan You nodded.
On the ginkgo road, Ruan You pinched the note and watched the shadow of the car drift away.
It was a bit cold in early winter, Gu Fuchen handed the blanket brought by the housekeeper to Ruan You, "Put it on, let's go back."
When she went out just now, Ruan You only wore a cashmere coat, which was very thin.
Ruan You nodded, but didn't care about the cloak, she lowered her head and pinched the small note.
She wanted to see what her father wrote to her.
Gu Fuchen had no choice but to put it on her.
The strip of paper was folded into a square, layer by layer.
When she was about to open it, Ruan You was a little scared. What if her father wrote her a particularly touching sentence and she cried in front of Gu Fuchen?
Gu Fuchen put a blanket on her, and asked suspiciously, "Why don't you open it?"
Ruan You took a long breath, rubbed her hands, and opened the small note after being mentally prepared.
On half a piece of A4-sized slip of paper, there was a word written profusely.
"Hey, I think you can give gold a little face when you spend money."
Ruan You: ...
Gu Fuchen: ...
