The tray was placed firmly on the corner of the golden nanmu desk. Sheng Wantang's behavior was impeccable in terms of etiquette, elegant but not stiff, dignified but not rigid.
Lu Jiyuan glanced at Sheng Wantang. The little girl's face looked very relaxed, as if she was very confident that he would not be picky about thanking him.
When you open the ceramic lid, you will be greeted by the rich aroma of rice and fresh seafood. The aroma is layered and makes your mouth water.
It's a piece of abalone seafood porridge.
This happens to be the specialty of the manor chef.
Lu Jiyuan put the lid aside, crossed his arms and leaned back on the chair, so that he could look at Sheng Wantang at leisure.
Sheng Wantang didn't understand his reaction for a while.
"Isn't it to your liking?" Sheng Wantang wondered, "But Uncle Lin said you really like this as a midnight snack."
She specially delivered meals according to his preferences.
"Sheng Wantang, is this your thank you gift?" Lu Jiyuan's fingertips tapped on the table repeatedly.
Thank him with his stuff?
Is she really good at picking up bargains and treating him as a convenience?
When Lu Jiyuan sent the pipa, he had never thought of asking for her thanks.
But this woman had calculated it clearly herself, so she had to thank him.
Then he would have to make a careful calculation.
Sheng Wantang pursed her lips.
After a while, he said honestly: "I can only cook instant noodles. If you think the food I make is more sincere, I wouldn't mind making one for you - what flavor do you want?"
Lu Jiyuan almost laughed angrily, and even suspected that she did it on purpose.
He asked: "The first lady can't even cook?"
Why is this person still attacking?
Sheng Wantang felt that the few good tempers he had were about to be rubbed away by him.
She reasoned with him: "Fourth Master, who stipulates that a famous lady must be able to wash her hands and make soup? The first lady is a title given to me by others, and it has nothing to do with my wishes. Besides, I am not the first famous lady now.
"
Cooking is something that requires talent.
She just doesn't have this talent.
The woman in front of him was like a cat that just wanted to explode but was holding back. She clearly wanted to scratch someone with all her teeth and claws, but she remembered her cute and innocent skin. This funny look made Lu Jiyuan's eyes flash with a smile.
"Translate." Lu Jiyuan threw a document to Sheng Wantang.
Sheng Wantang: "?"
Lu Jiyuan had already started to read the email and asked, "Don't you want to thank me?"
Do you dare this person to treat her as free labor?
Sheng Wantang opened the document and found it was an English document.
"It's not like you can't understand English." Sheng Wantang muttered in a low voice.
Although Lu Jiyuan has a bad reputation outside, he was a well-known genius in the industry when he was young, with an extraordinary IQ.
Lu Jiyuan raised his eyebrows lightly and asked, "How will Mrs. Lu thank me?"
Sheng Wantang immediately hugged the document tightly and walked to the reception table aside to start translating, fearing that Lu Jiyuan would return if it was too late.
Translating a document can offset the thank you gift, of course it’s great!
Lu Jiyuan took a deep look at Sheng Wantang, looking forward to her reaction after reading the document.
Sheng Wantang flipped through the documents with his left hand and wrote the translated content on A4 paper with his right hand.
Her speed is very fast, she doesn't need to think at all, and she switches between English and her native language almost simultaneously.
This is an investigative report, clearly organized.
[... Rich's start-up capital came from the Rich Private Foundation in Panama. Except for the 10% stake held by Rich Bar executives, the Rich Foundation is the controlling shareholder of the bar, but is not a beneficiary. The fund investor is unknown.]
Sheng Wantang's pen paused.
Lu Jiyuan is investigating Rich's boss?
Her heart tightened and she quickly scanned the content behind it.
[The designated beneficiary of Rich Bar is unknown. Existing clues show that the whereabouts of the funds are in the imperial capital of the country, and the details are yet to be investigated.]
Fortunately, there are no other substantive clues or evidence linking the owner of Rich Bar to her. The skin of Rich Private Foundation in Panama is very strong. The main thing is that she will not be peeled off unless she takes the initiative to expose it.
Sheng Wantang breathed a sigh of relief, pretended not to notice anything, and continued to complete the entire translation.
The abalone and seafood porridge gradually cooled down, and the aroma of the porridge dissipated in the air.
Half an hour later.
Sheng Wantang handed the original and translated manuscript to Lu Jiyuan, "I've translated it."
Lu Jiyuan hummed and motioned for her to put it aside, with no intention of looking at it.
"Are you checking Rich?" Sheng Wantang asked tentatively, "Are you interested in Rich?"
A few years ago, there were people who wanted to acquire Rich, a piece of meat. However, the boss behind the scenes never showed up, and he famously said that he would not resell, take shares, or join the company. Gradually, the acquirers gave up on this idea.
"I happen to owe Mrs. Lu a wedding gift, how about I buy the rich one for you?" Lu Jiyuan didn't even raise his head, as if he was talking about something ordinary.
You bought it from me and gave it to me?
Fuck you!
Sheng Wantang almost wanted to curse on the spot.
Lu Jiyuan suddenly said that he had bought a rich gift for her. No matter how it sounded, it sounded like a test!
"Fourth Master is joking. I have followed the rules since I was a child. I have no interest in bars and don't understand how bars operate. What do you want to do?" Sheng Wantang smiled cutely.
"When it comes to playing dice, Jing Er is not as good as Miss Sheng who follows the rules." Lu Jiyuan said slowly.
Depth of field is well-known in the industry for being good at playing, and Lu Jiyuan's words were an insinuation of Sheng Wantang's obedience to the rules.
Sheng Wantang looked at him expressionlessly, silently cursing the scheming man in his heart!
"Fourth Master Lu, you don't have to be so polite. I didn't give you a gift either. It just so happened that -" It was offset.
"Give me one."
"???"
What the hell?
Seeing Sheng Wantang's confusion, Lu Jiyuan said slowly: "Just in time, you can give me a gift."
He was a little curious about what Sheng Wantang would give him.
"Fourth Master should know that I am in an awkward situation in the Sheng family and I am not liked by them." Sheng Wantang put her hands on the table and told lies without conscience, "I am very poor and have no money."
"Rich gives it to you, and you have it."
"..."
Then why don’t you just buy yourself what you want?
The two of them are not a real couple, and Sheng Wantang has no interest in his money!
Sheng Wantang didn't want to talk to him anymore, lest he expose himself: "Then you can send it, if you can contact Rich's boss."
When the little girl left the study, she thought she had acted very calmly. She even said her last words with a habitual smile.
But Lu Jiyuan felt angry and rebellious from it.
It was like playing a silent game with him, betting that he would not be able to find Rich's boss.
Lu Jiyuan laughed meaningfully.
After all, I was young and a little impatient.
…
Sheng Wantang returned to his room and recalled his words and deeds just now.
It seems like...there's nothing wrong with it?
Although he didn't know why Lu Jiyuan suddenly tested her, or why Lu Jiyuan began to suspect something, but as long as she didn't admit that she was related to Rich, there was nothing he could do to her!
Sheng Wantang lay on the bed and sighed.
She just wants to make money quietly and spend money happily, and does not want to deal with these people for money.
[The author has something to say]
Fourth Master Lu: I am a little curious about what my wife will give me.
Tangtang: Don’t be curious, there is nothing, not even north and south.
