Chapter 30 Moving House
They chatted for a while, and after the banquet, they went to sing karaoke together, thus becoming friends.
By the time everything was over, it was already past 11 p.m.
Xu Jinyan sat in the car on her way back, planning to go directly to the company that was closer to her to sleep.
Then he looked at Lin Wanqing and her assistant Xiao Zhou sitting to the side and thought they were indeed working very hard. He thought he could give them more gifts in the future.
Just as he was thinking about what gift to buy, he suddenly pulled a... handkerchief out of his pocket.
This seems to be the one Mao Xiaotong used to wipe the wine stains off him. He ran into Director Yu Shan when he came out of the bathroom and forgot about it.
Although the system didn't receive any negative emotions, he thought about it and still apologized on WeChat, otherwise people might think he was a pervert.
A while later, I received a reply: "It's okay, this handkerchief isn't worth much. [laughing and crying emoji]"
Xu Jinyan couldn't help but grin; she was quite humorous.
Lin Wanqing had been observing everything silently from the side. She recognized whose handkerchief it was, and only after Xu Jinyan put away his phone did she unable to help but say, "...Mao Xiaotong has a boyfriend."
Xu Jinyan gave her a strange look, then looked at Xiao Zhou beside him, who nodded seriously at him.
He sighed deeply, "Your gifts are gone."
Rubbing his face, Xu Jinyan leaned closer to the two and whispered, "Even more exciting now?"
Xiao Zhou looked terrified, while Lin Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief, confirming that Xu Jinyan knew about it.
Seeing Xiao Zhou's expression, he found it really funny. "Haha, it's not like I don't do my homework before I go out. Xiao Zhou, you still have to learn from your sister Lin."
Xiao Zhou glanced at Sister Lin's calm expression and lowered his head in embarrassment.
As the car approached the company, Xu Jinyan asked, "Where are you going later? Is there a place to rest at the company?"
Lin Wanqing: "I'll take a taxi home in a bit."
Xiao Zhou: "I take the subway; there should still be some available now."
Xu Jinyan was silent for a moment, then said, "Thank you for your hard work. Once the villa is ready, we'll reserve a room for you. If this happens again, you can stay there."
Anyway, he lives alone, so there are plenty of empty rooms.
[Positive emotions from Lin Wanqing: +300];
[Positive emotions from Zhou Xiaoyu: +500];
Lin Wanqing didn't say anything, but she clearly sensed Xu Jinyan's goodwill.
Xiao Zhou, still young, said, "Thank you, Brother Xu. I'll help you when you move; I'm very strong."
Xu Jinyan said with interest, "Really? I don't believe it. Let's have an arm wrestling match."
Xiao Zhou: "..."
Lin Wanqing watched as Xu Jinyan rolled up his sleeves, looking like he was really going to battle Xiao Zhou, and she got used to his abstract style. Turning her head to look at the night outside the window, a slight smile appeared on her lips. This artist is now in my grasp.
……
……
The next evening, at the Garden Building residential complex.
Apart from Xu Yunge, who is suing Xu Jinyan for infringing on her right to reputation and name, the Xu family members were all sitting on the sofa chatting.
"In this small town, as time flows by, a clear feeling rises."
"Memories washed clean, I remember you, live on with pride."
Xu Jinyan looked to the side and said helplessly, "Brother, can we stop singing?" What kind of rubbish is this anyway!
Xu Qian patted him on the shoulder, "Brother, thanks to you for hitting GG, the store is doing really well now."
Xu Jinyan ignored him and turned to his uncle: "Business is booming? Uncle, are you tired? Let my brother handle everything. You can do whatever you want."
[Negative emotions from Xu Qian: +50];
The old lady said with a smile, "Jinyan, don't tease your brother. The shop is busy. If your uncle doesn't help, you'll exhaust your brother."
Xu Jinyan sighed: That's why they say grandparents love their grandchildren more. Isn't the old lady afraid of exhausting her eldest son?
He thought for a moment and said, "Since we're all so busy, let's all take a day off this Saturday. My house is all renovated, so let's all go over there and have a good time and relax."
Xu Qian shook his head and said, "What's there to relax about? The shop's busy. Where did you buy that house? I'll go take a look sometime."
"Okay, when you come to Lakeview Villa, just tell them you're looking for..."
"Wait, wait, wait, Lakeview Villas?"
Everyone else was also drawn to the word, as Lakeview Villas is the closest villa area to here.
Yan Zhi asked, "Didn't you say you just bought a house casually?"
Xu Jinyan blinked innocently and said, "I just bought it casually. I haven't even spent all of my month's salary. Isn't that casual?"
[Negative emotions from Xu Qian: +100];
Yan Zhi grabbed a pillow from the sofa and threw it at him, "You think you're so high and mighty? You bought a villa without even telling us?"
Xu Jinyan chuckled as she caught the pillow, then looked at her father and said, "Dad, I told you before, your associate professorship should just be a side job. Why bother going to a regular job?"
Xu Wenqing clicked his tongue. "My son is so successful that I have to retire early. What am I going to do?"
Waiting online, very anxious!
This thing makes money fast, but wouldn't it be a bad idea to not work and spend my son's money?
How about I ask him to write a couple of songs for me, so I can debut as a singer?
Xu Jinyan continued to tempt her: "My villa has a KTV, a movie theater, an arcade, and most importantly, it also has a top-notch recording studio in the industry."
Old Xu hesitated.
He doesn't usually use the most luxurious recording studios.
Xu Qian then said seriously, "I think we should go, after all, it's a housewarming celebration."
Xu Jinyan asked hesitantly, "But what about the shop?"
"Hey," Xu Qian waved his hand dismissively, "Your grandpa's working so hard every day, can't he even take a day off?"
Xu Wenqiang threw a pillow at him in return.
Jin Yan smiled and said, "Then it's settled. Let's go together on Saturday and help me boost my popularity. My new song will be officially released at 8 pm on Saturday."
After everyone nodded in agreement and moved on to the next topic, Xu Qian leaned over and whispered, "How much?"
Xu Jinyan pinched her chin with her index finger and thumb, appearing deep in thought.
My cousin understood. He looked around and, seeing no one was paying attention, whispered, "Eight million?"
Xu Jinyan smiled slightly: "Eight figures."
[Negative emotions from Xu Qian: +200];
……
……
Saturday arrived in the blink of an eye; the sun was shining brightly and the breeze was gentle.
In the kitchen of Xu Jinyan's home in Lakeview Royal Villa, Xu Jinyan is making a home-style dish—braised pork—under the guidance of her grandmother.
"Make sure the pieces are all the same size...blanch them in warm water...fry them until the fat is rendered and they turn a golden brown...add boiling water all at once...use a little light soy sauce, rely on dark soy sauce for color...you can add some quail eggs..."
As Xu Jinyan worked, he saw his cooking skill experience points increase by one each time. Just like when Teacher Annie guided him through the basics of makeup last time, the old lady's guidance this time directly increased his experience points by 50.
[Skill: Cooking: Beginner (680/1000) - Beginner (730/1000)];
As expected, the classes taught by renowned teachers are different. In the past, when he cooked, he only knew to use both light and dark soy sauce together, without paying attention to so many details.
After he finished cooking this dish, the old lady and his aunt had already prepared all the other dishes.
The group that had visited the villa also returned from their strolls around.
Everyone took their seats and began to eat.
However, even though they weren't told in advance which dish he made, the braised pork was the one that was left the most in the end.
The reason he ate some was because the old lady and his aunt were being considerate of him, allowing him to eat a few more bites...
There was nothing they could do; the others only took one bite, then raised an eyebrow in surprise, glanced at him, and didn't put any more chopsticks into that plate...
No one said anything, but it was as if everyone had said everything.
At that moment, everyone's gazes made him feel like he was being pricked by needles. He vowed that once he had enough emotional points, he would first grind his cooking skills to the master level to avenge the humiliation he suffered today.
