What does it mean to be caught off guard? This is called being caught off guard.
Chu Qing's expression was a little petrified. He opened his mouth and looked at the smiling Tao Ruolin. The complaints and anger in his heart turned into an extremely weird emotion. It was hard to describe, not angry, not happy, but a feeling of being seen through.
Why are you going out today? Because you want to inspect the market.
Why do you study the market? Because you want to make money.
The money that he should have earned was earned by the Tao family, so he came to investigate.
As a result, after sitting here, before I finished speaking, the banknotes were placed on the table.
This feeling reminded Chu Qing of his "last life".
I bought flowers, borrowed a luxury car, booked a restaurant, and looked at the goddess lovingly, praising the other person's intelligence and beauty, how it attracts me, how it makes me intoxicated, how I can't help but fall in love, and fantasize about being happy with the other person.
For a lifetime, watch the sun, moon and stars together, watch together...
Before she finished speaking, the goddess interrupted directly. Don't put aside those 468 nonsense words. You are just greedy for my body and want to clap for love. Tell me, your home and my home are still like home.
Chu Qing felt like this now, that he had been seen through.
I didn't say anything, but the other party just slapped the banknote here.
Forget it, there is still reason and evidence. It is possible to find out which store sold the story and how much the income was, and the figures should be correct.
As for the 30-70 split, Chu Qing definitely took advantage. The book was not printed, but copied, and it was copied by someone who could read and write. The cost was very high. After all, the Tao family made almost no money.
.
To take a step back, if the Tao family is really shameless, even if they don't pay a penny, the Chu family won't be able to do anything.
Chu Qing felt very embarrassed. He looked at Tao Ruolin and then at the banknote, feeling even more embarrassed.
With a "pop" sound, Fu Sanyi slapped the table: "You dare to humiliate my young master and take this banknote away. The Chu family will not care about you."
Chu Qing subconsciously shouted: "Third brother, we can't even give up money just for the sake of face!"
This opening finally revealed the truth, and Tao Ruolin's smile became even stronger.
Chu Qing rolled his eyes and pointed at the door. Fu understood in seconds, ran to the door and stood there without saying a word.
Looking at Tao Ruolin, Chu Qing was still pretending.
"I'm here today just... that's right... yes, to visit my fellow villagers, this..."
"Call me Tao Yi." Tao Ruolin generously filled Chu Qing's teacup with some tea, her eyes as crescent-shaped.
"This Miss Tao Yi has misunderstood. It's just a few short stories, just for fun, to relieve everyone's fatigue. You see, talking about feelings hurts, no, talking about money hurts feelings."
Tao Ruolin sat aside and smiled: "Yes, or not."
"Oh, how embarrassing is this? I just came to visit..."
"To do it or not to do it?"
Chu Qing stretched out his hand and grabbed the banknote, then drew back his arm and put the banknote into his arms, his movements flowing smoothly.
Tao Ruolin tilted her head: "Are you still angry?"
"Why do you sigh when you say this? Why am I so angry?"
"As long as you don't get angry." Tao Ruolin's bright eyes seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts: "From now on, Mr. Chu will get 70%, and Mr. Tao will get 30%. How about that?"
Chu Qing didn't react for a moment: "In the future?"
"Yes, I will listen to the stories you tell in the future. After listening, I will write them down and find someone to copy them. We will sell them and make more money."
Chu Qing's face was full of disappointment: "Oh, this is the future you are talking about."
"Then what do you think Mr. Chu means?"
"It's okay, I thought it was in the future." Chu Qing knocked on the table: "You mean, we can cooperate for a long time in the future?"
"Yes, Mr. Chu is very poor, isn't he?"
Chu Qing was unhappy again: "You can go against your conscience and say I'm not handsome, but you can't say I'm poor!"
Chu Qing was very taboo about this.
The most hurtful words that women, especially beautiful women, say are not to call you ugly, not to call you a scumbag, nor to call you lazy, but the most heartbreaking thing is to say that you are poor!
Just imagine, a daughter asks a girl, how is your husband, and the girl says, Oh, forget it, my husband is really poor!
In the same way, the most heartfelt compliment a woman can give to a man is not that the man is so handsome or that he works so hard, but... oh my god, this man is so rich!
Tao Ruolin was slightly confused: "Aren't you poor? I thought you needed money."
"Joke!" Chu Qing waved his sleeves: "We, the scholars, want integrity, how can we open and shut our mouths and talk about money and such annoying things? Comrade Xiaotao, I have to criticize you for this.
If you lose your money, you can make more money. If you lose your moral integrity, then... nothing will be left."
Tao Ruolin frowned slightly: "Without money, I can't do anything. I like money the most."
Chu Qing looked sideways and suddenly felt that this girl had a very upright outlook.
"You said integrity is important, and you can make money again if you lose it." Tao Ruolin looked like she didn't agree, and shook her head: "People who say this are not short of money. People who are short of money should not say this.
That’s true, but aren’t you very poor?”
"Who told you I was poor?"
"The eldest young master said that if you go to the Hubu Yamen office to beg for alms, the adults in the Hubu department will be like sending beggars... just like helping the younger ones, they will donate generously."
Chu Qing became anxious: "What the hell is that called crowdfunding? What kind of alms are you talking about? Does Chen Yan have any control over his bad talk? He will tell your eldest son everything."
Tao Ruolin's eyebrows were full of smiles: "If you are not short of money, then that's it. Zhuangzi doesn't make much money anyway, and it's really troublesome to find many scholars to copy it."
"Wait a minute." Chu Qing quickly said with a smile: "Oh, although integrity is also very important, but it is also good to make a little money. If I make a little money, I can do some charity, right?"
"Then you are very poor."
"I'm doing charity!"
"Forget it."
Chu Qing: "I am very poor."
"Just say you are very poor." Tao Ruolin smiled wildly.
Chu Qing sighed, he could see that this girl did it on purpose.
"Okay, okay, I'm very poor and very short of money. It's settled. From now on, I will write the story and you will copy it. I will get 30-70 points. I won't care about anything. You will give me the money when the time comes. Wait a minute. You can do this.
Can you take charge? Aren’t you the daughter of the Tao family who have the final say?"
Tao Ruolin stopped smiling: "I have the final say, and the eldest lady always listens to me. She doesn't care about such trivial matters."
"It's obvious. She really doesn't care about trivial matters and is so lenient. She is so lenient."
"That's not a good thing." Tao Ruolin pouted: "You can't make much money selling stories. I have another idea. How about we make a lot of money together? Mr. Chu, do you want to listen?"
Chu Qing poked his head forward and said, "Come and listen."
