Pushed into the board room by a few old men, Shi Tian felt that these elders were unusually attentive. When had he ever been able to drink tea with them without having to busy himself? He needed to be careful!
“How's it going with Old Li's family’s girl? She's pretty, right? And has a good temper!” After finishing a cup of tea, Old Kong smiled slightly and made small talk.
Hearing the mention of Li Ziyu, Shi Tian chuckled, “Not bad! Xiao Yu and her friends opened a coffee shop and a cold drink shop next to my Fishing Tackle Shop yesterday. You guys missed their grand opening; it’s a pity!”
Seeing Shi Tian's smug expression, Old Kong exchanged amused glances with Old Wen.
“Opened yesterday? Good thing I didn’t rush back; otherwise, I would have lost money on the Red Envelope!” jokingly remarked Old Wen. “Young people should go out more, catch a movie, have dinner—such a lovely girl must have plenty of suitors. You need to put in some effort!”
Before Old Wen finished speaking, Old Kong interjected, “What are you saving for? Since you missed it yesterday, we need to make up for it! Xiao Tian, go tell those three girls that we’re taking them out for dinner tonight! We’ll make sure to give them their Red Envelopes!”
Upon hearing about the Red Envelopes, Shi Tian immediately agreed! Once they received their Red Envelopes, he could use the same trick again—who knows, he might even snag a big Red Envelope! Even if he had to share with the three of them, as long as the money ended up in Li Ziyu’s pocket, it would eventually come back to him anyway.
“Alright, I’ll go tell them! I’ll cook tonight; it’ll be a good chance for my master to check my cooking skills and see if I’ve improved recently!”
After saying this, Yi Laotou shot Shi Tian a disapproving look, giving him a “good luck” expression.
“Xiao Tian, if you’re dating, don’t be stingy with your money. Take that girl out more often—dinner, movies—that’s how you build your relationship!”
Old Wen casually added, “But that feed isn’t cheap! How much is it? I’ll transfer you some money! Take that girl out to the movies!”
Hearing this, Shi Tian rubbed his chin; Old Wen was surprisingly considerate, though his approach was a bit cliché!
“It’s not much; just a bag of feed costs a few hundred bucks—not worth worrying about!”
Before Shi Tian could finish his sentence, Old Wen pulled out his phone and asked him to bring up the payment code. With a quick scan, he transferred twenty thousand yuan.
When Shi Tian heard that twenty thousand yuan had arrived in his account and hadn’t even spoken yet, Old Wen quickly added, “A few hundred bucks isn’t enough for anything! You can’t take a girl out without money in your pocket!”
That twenty thousand yuan is for feed; just get us a ton of it later! It’s getting late; hurry up and take Li’s girl shopping! Don’t forget about the feed—keep that in mind!
As soon as Old Wen finished speaking, Shi Tian was stunned. Weren’t they just talking about Li Ziyu? How did he suddenly owe Old Wen for a ton of feed?
Setting down his teacup without saying anything further, Old Liu and Old Kong got up together. By the time Shi Tian regained his senses, they were already outside the board room. As for the door, it was securely locked—was this strong-arming?
“Old man, there really isn’t that much feed? Besides, you can’t possibly feed that many fish! Don’t waste it!” He shouted at the door while seeing the old men inside raise their cups in celebration.
“This tea is somewhat subpar; the water isn’t great. We should go get some Mountain Spring Water from the villa area for brewing tea!”
That Mountain Spring Water really does make good tea; they should set up a pipe to bring it over! The water straight from the pipe tastes better and makes tea more fragrant!
“Looks like someone’s at the door!” Noticing Old Wen and Old Kong’s shameless behavior, Yi Laotou kindly reminded them.
“Old Yi, you must have misheard. Come on now, drink your tea. After this cup, you should go cook—it’s almost eleven o’clock and you haven’t had breakfast yet!”
After bidding farewell to a few shameless old men, I glanced at the locked car at the entrance. No keys in sight—great! I had to walk back! This must be Old Kong's doing!
Far to the north, Shi Ye stood at the entrance of the Min Bureau hall, holding Lu Ying Er's hand. Behind them stood three bodyguards: Shi Chui, Yun Wan'er, and Old Lady Lu. With a flick of her wrist, Old Lady Lu pulled out the Old Lu Family's Household Register from her bosom and handed it to Lu Ying Er. "Hurry inside! Quickly get those two red books out. I heard that getting the Xiao Ben Ben now is free!"
Old Lady Lu had quite the sense of humor; was this really about money? As soon as the Household Register was in hand, Shi Chui quickly handed a large bag of candy to Shi Ye. "This is Wedding Candy. Remember to share some after you get your certificate; it's for good luck!"
Receiving the bag from Shi Chui, Lu Ying Er tugged Shi Ye into the hall, with the three following closely behind, eagerly awaiting that Steel Seal to be stamped!
Once they got their Xiao Ben Ben, Lu Ying Er, with teary eyes, hugged Old Lady Lu tightly. "Mom, I want to transfer my Hukou and put it under Ye Ge's Household Register!"
This Household Register had caused her great trouble; she didn’t want to stay under that Xiao Ben Ben for even a day! Wasn’t Old Lu powerful? Once she transferred her Hukou out, let’s see what Old Lu could do to threaten her!
Lu Ying Er had plenty of options for her residency. Even if she didn’t want to be under the Old Lu Family’s Hukou, she could settle at Peking University. Professors there had such privileges, and since she held a Hukou in the capital, as long as she had a Household Register in hand, it wouldn’t be difficult even if she split off!
"Alright! This is between you two; you can discuss it among yourselves! But you need to hurry; your dad could come back at any moment!"
Now that they had snatched the Household Register, there was no turning back. First things first—let's resolve all of my daughter's concerns!
