Chapter 543: Chapter 543: Mr. Yan, pretending to be stupid doesn’t suit you!

Apart from making significant price concessions, Mr. Qian’s attentive attitude was vastly different from the modest and unassuming attitude he had shown previously in their general business dealings.

If he still didn’t understand that Young Master Yan had intervened in this, then he, Qin Xiu, would be an idiot.

However, while he appreciated the concession on the rent, he could not play dumb on this matter.

After hanging up Mr. Qian’s phone, Cheng Ye called Young Master Yan.

Knowing that everyone was busy and being practical himself, Cheng Ye cut to the chase without any unnecessary chatter.

"Young Master Yan, thank you for helping out with Mr. Qian," he said.

On the other end of the line, Young Master Yan didn’t seem surprised about the call or what Cheng Ye had said. A calm response came from the receiver.

"Mr. Cheng, I am not helping out for free. I have a favor to ask of you."

So, it turns out he was not helping him, but rather he had set a trap for him to fall into.

That’s what smart businessmen do, indeed.

"Please go on, Young Master Yan!" Cheng Ye responded, somewhat despondently.

After all, the processing factory deal was already in front of him. He felt reluctant to push it away.

But he knew the saying "there’s no such thing as a free lunch."

Moreover, he understood that this rule was an absolute truth among businessmen.

Young Master Yan, on the other hand, was indeed prepared. He spoke continuously, almost without taking a breath. The favor he was asking for was not much, just one thing.

Cheng Ye listened solemnly, without uttering a word for nearly ten minutes. When the other party finally stopped, Cheng Ye silently waited for tens of seconds before responding.

"Young Master Yan, may I have some time to think it over?"

"Sure, I will wait for your answer."

Zhu Qianying, for her part, was kept in the dark about the conversation regarding Young Master Yan’s request.

However, that afternoon, Zhu Qianying, who had been granted Cheng Ye’s permission to continue to work at home, received a call from her boss, Cheng Ye.

"Ying Zi, I have to go to Capital City tomorrow. I need you to follow up with the decoration company on the progress and schedule over the next few days."

Zhu Qianying was slightly surprised, "You sorted things out with Mr. Qian?"

Only a few days have passed since the last time. This speed was unmatched.

"Yes, didn’t I visit his processing factory the other day? I prepared the contract on the spot. Now, all the terms have been agreed upon. So, we need to sign the partnership contract as soon as possible. As a result, our domestic products for the next season can be produced here, saving a lot of costs."

Throughout all this, Cheng Ye didn’t mention Young Master Yan’s role.

Because, at this moment, Cheng Ye was still holding his breath.

Even though he hadn’t lost anything, the discomfort of being manipulated was stuck in his throat. He wasn’t happy about it.

But deep down, he understood that what Young Master Yan had analyzed was correct.

And precisely because he understood, the discomfort and unhappiness intensified. The sense of shame and inferiority from being overtaken by someone else made him feel uncomfortable.

But just because he didn’t say it didn’t mean Zhu Qianying wouldn’t understand.

After dinner that evening, Zhu Qianying was walking the dog in the garden with the little boy and Young Master Yan.

The weather was gradually becoming warmer, and the three of them had changed into light casual clothes to enjoy a leisurely stroll in the garden.

"Young Master Yan, did you call that Mr. Qian in the Capital City?"

The little boy, chasing after Star, had gone a little further away which allowed Zhu Qianying to discuss work matters with Young Master Yan.

Young Master Yan acted surprised, "Who? Mr. Qian?"

Then, before Zhu Qianying could answer, he shook his head, "I don’t know him!"

Zhu Qianying wouldn’t believe him. She slapped him playfully, "Stop pretending! Your memory is too good for you to act dumb."

Young Master Yan had an incredible memory, a fact Zhu Qianying had learned from observing him in his daily life. The little boy also seemed to have inherited this trait from his father. As such, his mind had enough space to scheme all kinds of plans.

Young Master Yan quickly realized that pretending to be ignorant in front of Zhu Qianying was useless, so he just smiled, patted her on the buttocks, and admitted.

"Yes, Qin Xiu made the call."

Zhu Qianying rolled her eyes at him. Isn’t that obvious? Without Young Master Yan’s order, would Qin Xiu call Mr. Qian himself?

He wouldn’t have the audacity or the authorization to do such a thing.

"Really, he just made a call to remind him of something. He didn’t do or say anything questionable, I swear."

Without needing him to explain, Zhu Qianying could guess the content of Young Master Yan’s reminder to Mr. Qian.

After confirming this, Zhu Qianying didn’t ask any further. However, after a while, she suddenly turned and scowled at him, warning him sternly.

"You better not try anything sneaky with Cheng Ye!"

Young Master Yan innocently raised his hand. "As Zhu quake swears, I really didn’t do anything!"

If one was to meticulously parse his words, Young Master Yan was not lying.

Indeed, he didn’t do anything. What he used was just words!

And all the actions were carried out by Qin Xiu!

The following day, Young Master Yan received a call from Cheng Ye. Cheng Ye, on the phone, sounded somewhat abrupt.

"Young Master Yan, I agree to your proposition."

His tone of voice was very displeasing.

However, when Young Master Yan acted, he always aimed to achieve his own goals regardless of the other party’s mood.

"Good, we can settle this matter then. I will send over some contracts later, you just need to sign them."

"I am in Capital City right now and won’t be back until tomorrow night." Cheng Ye, on the phone, was still displeased.

"That’s fine. Sign it when you’re back, anytime is alright!"

Zhu Qianying was unaware of the conspiratorial phone calls between the two. At that moment, she was helping out at the restaurant where she unexpectedly met Luo Yifan for the second time.

"Uncle Luo, you are here to work again?"

Zhu Qianying said this aloud, but inwardly she was thinking, since the last time she saw him only a few days ago, his frequency of work visits seemed too frequent.

"Ying Zi, what a coincidence, you are here too!"

This time, Luo Yifan didn’t need any summoning. As soon as he entered and greeted Zhu Qianying, he walked straight to a two-person table in the corner of the restaurant, pulled a chair and sat down.

He was treating this place like home, but Zhu Qianying couldn’t ignore him like he was one of the family. She waited on him with a glass of water.

Before she could get close and say anything, Luo Yifan started waving at her.

"Ying Zi, I heard your culinary skills are exceptional. Come, can you help Uncle Luo see if this menu is reasonable?"

Zhu Qianying handed him the water and leaned over to look. There was a colorful menu spread out on the table.

Turns out, he really came to discuss work matters with her mother?
