Winter Blazing Wild

Chapter 141: Surrender to 5 Dou of Rice

It’s Meng Qianyi.

Seeing Yu Tang appear at the door, Meng Qianyi waved to her.

Yu Tang walked over quickly, opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat.

"Are you waiting for me? Why don't you call me?

"I called, but no one answered. I called Zhou Shenye again, and he said I came here to wait for you because you came to the company."

Meng Qianyi has clearly admitted that he had contact with Zhou Shenye.

Being too frank, Yu Tang was not mentally prepared.

"Let's find a place to have a drink?" Meng Qianyi asked.

“There’s a coffee shop right in front.”

It was working hours and there were not many people in the coffee shop. It was very quiet.

Meng Qianyi flipped through the menu back and forth, seemingly nonchalant, but actually he was very worried.

Yu Tang looked at her straight in the eyes. "Do you still need to be so hesitant and secretive when talking to me? Just say it if you have something to say."

"A cup of plum iced Americano," Meng Qianyi waved to the waiter and asked Yu Tang, "What would you like to drink?"

"Australian white."

Meng Qianyi raised his eyebrows, "Husband sings and wife follows?"

Yu Tang stared at her speechlessly without saying anything.

She smiled and asked, "Are you and Zhou Shenye okay?"

"I'm not sure if it's okay."

Meng Qianyi paused and sighed, "At first, I really didn't know that the person who invested in me was Zhou Shenye. He probably didn't know that the second party was me. When we met to discuss cooperation, we were both quite surprised."

Yu Tang nodded, "Yeah."

"Later, I asked him if he wanted me to explain it to you first. Do you know what he said?" Meng Qianyi kept the suspense and threw the question back.

Yu Tang shook his head.

Meng Qianyi cleared his throat and said, "He said that he would explain this to you personally, and he would come before you openly."

Yu Tang pursed his lips. "It sounds like you and him are on the same side. Who are you friends with?"

Meng Qianyi shrugged and said pitifully, "I can't help it. He's my client's dad now, and he gives me so much. I can't help but speak up for him."

Two cups of coffee came up, but Yu Tang didn't take them. He squinted at the person opposite him and asked, "When did you become someone who would bow down for a few dollars?"

"I didn't know how expensive food and fuel were until I was in charge of the household. This time, I realized that everything from project planning to planning, sponsorship, and preparation is not easy. I'm short of money and people. The only people who can give me money are my financial sponsors. There's nothing I can do."

Yu Tang was amused by her exaggerated expression and words, "Who told you to give up your job as the eldest daughter of the Meng family and run away like that?"

Meng Qianyi retorted, "Then are you happy as the eldest daughter of the Yu family?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the two fell silent at the same time.

Some of the things you say just sound pretentious, but being from a wealthy family, there are indeed too many things that are beyond your control.

Finally, Meng Qianyi brought the topic back to the topic, "So, has Zhou Shenye explained everything to you clearly?"

"I've explained my background clearly, but I don't know anything else."

Meng Qianyi frowned, "I don't know if it's because we're friends, but he's quite enthusiastic this time. In addition to the music classroom project, he also offered to add an art classroom."

She took something out of her bag and said, "She gave me a contact number, it's...what's his name..."

After a few seconds, he took out a business card.

Yu Tang saw the words clearly, "Yancheng Painting Studio."

"you know?"

"Han Cheng, a painter friend of Zhou Shenye," Yu Tang wanted to explain, but he didn't know where to start, so he cut to the chase. "I've seen his paintings, and they're quite insightful."

"Do you think he's a reliable person?"

Yu Tang shook his head. "I haven't had any specific contact with anyone, so it seems... I can't be sure."

"I heard he has an art exhibition next month. I have to go and see it. It would be great if they could add an art classroom."

Meng Qianyi's entire mind is focused on teaching for charity, and he has no time to think about anything else.

Yu Tang had a lot of things he wanted to say to her, but seeing her state, he could only swallow them back for the time being.

He picked up the cup and took a sip of coffee, frowning, "It's so bitter."

Meng Qianyi laughed across from him, "Flat white is the hardest coffee to drink. I don't know why you two like it so much."

Yu Tang rinsed his mouth after taking a sip of boiled water. "Only that psychopath from Zhou Shenye likes it. I'd rather drink iced Americano."

This person is unstoppable, whoever comes will be punished.

Just as Yu Tang finished speaking, his cell phone rang.

It was Zhou Shenye.

Meng Qianyi gave them a gossipy look, pricked up his ears curiously, and deliberately wanted to listen to their conversation.

Yu Tang glared at her, but didn't intend to avoid her and answered the phone directly.

"what happened?"

"Are you done with your work? I'll pick you up and we'll have dinner together tonight."

Hearing this, Yu Tang immediately understood what he meant, "Has your friend arrived?"

"Well, she went to the restaurant first. I'll pick you up."

"You're quite good at making plans, acting first and reporting later." Yu Tang snorted.

Zhou Shenye said without further ado, "I'll be at Sitang Perfume in about five minutes."

As expected, he acted first and reported later. He only told Yu Tang after everyone was in the car.

This strong attitude is like kidnapping.

Meng Qianyi overheard a few words and could probably guess what they were talking about. He whispered, "Let's go. We can't just have a glass of flat white tonight. That would be too bitter. Let's go have a good meal. I also need to go back and study this Yancheng Art Studio. Let's go home."

Yu Tang looked at her, then said to Zhou Shenye on the other end of the phone, "I'm not at Si Tang Perfume. I'll send you the location."

Zhou Shenye was punctual as always and appeared at the door of the cafe five minutes later.

Through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the coffee shop, he saw Meng Qianyi sitting opposite Yu Tang and greeted her from a distance.

After Yu Tang got in the car, he took the initiative to say, "Since Meng Qianyi is here too, why don't you invite her to come along and get together?"

These words seemed to be said on purpose. After explaining the matter of investing in the music classroom clearly, Zhou Shenye no longer had any concerns.

Yu Tang rolled her eyes at him while fastening her seatbelt. "She doesn't have time. She has to meet Han Cheng. Didn't you act as a matchmaker? Are you planning to switch careers and become a matchmaker?"

Zhou Shenye smiled happily, "Why do you think your boyfriend is so dirty?"

Some tacit understanding does not require time to develop, it is innate.

Yu Tang knew that Zhou Shenye's intentions were not so pure. He introduced Han Cheng to Meng Qianyi not only for the public welfare project of the art classroom, but also hoped that they would have further development.

Let their bond become a deeper bond between him and Yu Tang.

"That's a good plan, but it won't work. Yu Tang isn't interested in artists like Han Cheng," Yu Tang said. "Although the intentions are not pure, this kind of behavior is still worth encouraging."

"Okay, it's not in vain to get a compliment from you."

After finishing this topic, Zhou Shenye changed the subject and said, "There is something else I need to report to you."
