Chapter 67: Food for a license

After lunch, the family gathered in the gardens outside to sip tea, eat fruits and listen to some music. The children were running around with Blackguard and Cooper.

The only unhappy individual was the minister got approval to pay Chi Lian two hundred fifty million altogether.

"See, I am a very patriotic woman." She claimed with a sly smile on her face as opposed to his frowning one."

"Miss Chi, the research paper you promised to send." Tang Siming followed her every step determinedly.

Muyang found this behavior quite irritating.

She tapped her phone and sent the email.

"Minister Su grabbed Siming’s arm and asked him to forward the paper to him."

Jun Muyang immediately had Wenzhe draft a confidentiality agreement and forced the doctor to sign it. His greedy little minx would be very unhappy if the minister took anything from her without paying.

Before the minister could leave, Chi Lian smiled like a demon and said pitifully, "Uncle, you did not include payment for my storage box."

Minister Su tripped over his feet. Nobody in the empire had the power to infuriate him like Chi Lian.

Turning around, he smiled forcefully and asked, "What’s so special about the storage box?"

"Uncle, this is an adjustable storage box. These markings indicate the size you can adjust it to according to the space you need. It can be charged and set to hot, cold or warm accordingly. Have you ever seen a storage box like this?" she asked.

These boxes were actually very cheap on T4’s world. They cost around eight million in earth’s currency. However nothing like these boxes was available on earth so she could sell them expensively.

"How much do you want?" the minister asked through gritted teeth.

"Uncle, I will be patriotic and ask for only sixteen million. If you play hard ball we can begin at around thirty million." she said coquettishly.

The audience watching them wanted to laugh out loud. One of these days the minister would strangle Chi Lian.

The minister paid for the storage box out of the military experiment budget. The box would be useful in transporting military supplies after all.

After making the last payment, he started to walk away and paused.

"Lady Chi," he called her name coquettishly and the hairs on the back of her neck stood up. "Since you have all that special food, you should share some of it with the royal family as tribute, to show your patriotism of course." He smiled slyly.

Old master Jun jumped up in anger immediately. Did he not hear Chi-Chi say that the food was not enough to fill the gaps between their teeth?

"Minister Su, you should know your limits. I will not allow you to exploit my granddaughter-in-law’s hard work."

Old man Jun was not the only one eyeing the minister suspiciously. Everyone that tasted the food was not willing to give it up.

"Ho, Jun Muyang, why didn’t I get an invitation to your wedding? Was it before or after you were kicked off the bed?" the minister smirked.

Jun Muyang looked at him nonchalantly and went back to playing with his daughter. He had already seen the stories going around on the internet about Chi Lian kicking him off the bed. Lately, he was beginning to suspect that she was the mighty little peep star. Who else would know so much about him?

"Chi Lian, are you sure you want me to tell the emperor that he cannot taste the best food in the empire because the Chi family is hoarding it?" he threatened.

"Say what you want." Muyang told him coldly.

"You know, you could easily get a license to operate your own broadcasting service if you get into the good graces of the royal family. It can even arrive at your house tomorrow. Success is about give and take Lady Chi, you should know when to give and take."

While no one in the family wanted to hear it, Minister Su was right. Chi Lian would go further if the royal family appreciated her services. Many people would kill for the opportunity being thrown at her.

"You should do it; we have a lot of things to accomplish. This could be the key to granting us access to some of their inner gossip."

"Then harvest as much food as you can, pack it in sacks or boxes with a phoenix and place it in a corner my room."

She looked at the minister, "I will do as you say. However I want that license tomorrow. Make sure you send it or our little partnership will come to an end." He was not the only one that could make threats. She could do the same.

She ordered her body guards to go into her room and bring the three boxes in the corner of her room.

When the boxes were brought, the entire family gathered close and watched her adjust the boxes to large sizes. Then she opened them and revealed a variety of different food stuffs.

There were sacks of rice, tomatoes, onions, apples, oranges, lemons, strawberries, and corn and soy beans. Another box had eggs, medium sized bags of corn flour and packets of milk and the last box had chicken and pork.

T4 had the fairy had been really busy at the farm. He used his access to her money and points to buy cows, pigs, sheep, chicken and other seeds. He saved her the time and energy required to play the game but he spent her money and points lavishly.

"Not everything is tribute, just pick a few things. And to show my generosity I am allowing you to pick some for yourself." She looked at Commissioner Bolin who was eyeing her pitifully, "You too Bolin."

Under the frowning eye of the old master, minister Su called his soldiers to carry the food stuffs away.

"You made a wise choice." He said and left.

When the military vehicles disappeared, mama Chi finally relaxed. Every time the minister came over it felt like ten years of her life had been deducted.

"Chi-Chi, why did you hide all this good food from me?" Chi Zimo looked betrayed. When he was young, his sister would give every good thing to him. Why was she hiding such good food from him?

"Didn’t you hear your sister say that all this food is limited in quantity? All you know is how to eat." Mama Chi mumbled.

"What are you going to do with all this food?" Papa Chi asked.

"Mother, you divide it. I am tired, I am going to sleep."

"In-laws," Mama Chi looked at the Jun family, let’s divide all this equally. We cannot eat it all on our own.

Chi Zimo wanted to say yes we can. Such extraordinary food, how could they fail to eat it on their own?

It was a cultivated habit for Mei-Mei to sleep after lunch. She carried the little girl and went off to bed with her. If the Chi brothers were not fully engrossed in the food stuffs, they would notice that Jun Muyang had followed their sister to her bedroom.

In the bedroom, Muyang closed the door and took a sit on her bed.

"Why did you follow us?" she asked. Truly, she was curious, why was he here?

"I came to watch my daughter sleep." He explained.

At some point after playing for a while, Mei-Mei had fallen asleep in the nanny’s arms. Chi Lian placed her on the bed and lay down next to her. She turned on some rhymes which T4 had said were generated to lull the brain to relax and sleep.

Muyang lay down on the opposite side of her next to Mei-Mei.

"Are you staying?" she asked. She was already yawning loudly. She had not slept on a comfortable bed in a while. She easily closed her eyes and slept off.

"En." The rhymes got to him too.

He closed his eyes and the three went to sleep.
