Chapter 84: Sleeping Together (2)
As soon as the chat box was opened, it couldn’t be easily closed again. You Pinyan didn’t have a lot of intimate friends, so her heart was full of complaints. After chatting and understanding each other, they found that their situations were very similar. They had a father, a mistress’s children, and a stepmother. The difference was that You Pinyan had a grandfather’s love and Su Tian had a mother’s love.
You Pinyan felt as if Su Tian was an angel sent to her from heaven.
The two girls covered their heads, burrowed in the blankets, chattering away. He Qingwan quietly rolled over and glanced at them, before falling asleep, reassured.
Here, it was as warm and harmonious as spring. But, the other room was the opposite.
Xi Yun still remembered that Liu Kaiyan had eaten 60 dollars worth of spicy hotpot and today, he had even been naked in front of him. He really lost too much face.
Can a little boy not want face?!
As soon as Xi Yun entered the room, he washed up and burrowed into the blankets, his butt facing towards Liu Kaiyan.
Although Liu Kaiyan sympathized with Xi Yun, he was uncomfortable remembering how he stuck to Su Tian all day, and was too lazy to take care of him. Leaning against the headboard, he took out his sketchbook and pencil, before beginning to draw.
He wanted to start a new story, one about the mysterious world of the deep sea.
There really just were too little people exploring the ocean. The ocean was still shrouded in mystery.
Tomorrow, he definitely had to go find more material regarding the ocean. If possible, he wanted to visit the aquarium. After all, pictures were dead, a far cry from real life.
He didn’t know if Su Tian liked aquariums. If she did, he’d like to bring her with him.
He glanced over at the little boy in covers, his butt still facing him, and then silently looked away.
Here’s to hoping she wouldn’t bring this annoying little kid, ah.
The next day, everyone split up. Liu Kaiyan went to look for the materials he wanted and You Pinyan went to sell things at the secondhand store. Su Tian and He Qingwan brought Xi Yun to the merchant to look at their goods.
They had contacted a new supplier, named Anmei. They were said to have a good reputation abroad, but because they entered the domestic market late, they weren’t very well-known in the country. Furthermore, because they’d lost a marketing battle with a different supplier, they had a lot of extra product stored in their warehouse. Thus, their prices were much better than the previous supplier.
When doing business, cost had to be considered, after all. Of course, the lower the cost, the higher the profit. If Anmei truly had quality products, Su Tian thought they could cooperate for a long time in the future.
After all, with Xi Yun’s golden finger (t/n: cheat), Su Tian thought that Sweet Summer opening stores all across the country wouldn’t be a problem.
Bringing Xi Yun today, Su Tian actually had an ulterior motive. With the haggling skills of the richest man, he could definitely help them get the lowest price.
And, coming out into the real world was also helpful for this naughty little kid to grow.
Xi Yun really didn’t disappoint Su Tian. He ended up pushing down the already low price by another 30%.
When signing the contract, the company’s representative, Mr. Smith, smiled bitterly and said: “Miss Su, we really sold it to you at cost.”
What the kid said was right. Rather than letting those unsellable products expire and just giving up on entering the Chinese market, it was better to fight for their place by sending out their product. It might be possible for them to develop their name, starting with this small store.
After all, the time the head office gave him was running out.
Part 3
Su Tian tilted her head, grinning: “Mr. Smith, I won’t make you regret your decision.”
Smith clutched his chest and kept telling himself that Su Tian was still a minor. He was not a pedophile.
But Su Tian was really too cute.
On the side, Xi Yun puffed his cheeks, annoyed. Why did he look at Jie Jie with such strange eyes. If he knew earlier, he would’ve pushed the price down even lower.
Smith said: “I’m very excited, Tian Tian’s Sweet Summer will definitely become the most successful dessert shop.”
After leaving Anmei, He Qingwan happily hugged Xi Yun and praised: “Xiao Yun is too amazing.”
Xi Yun blushed, tugging on Su Tian for a reward.
Su Tian pinched his cheek, asking: “What reward do you want?”
Xi Yun looked around at the surrounding buildings. Right next to the Anmei office was the Emperor Metropolitan Aquarium, which allegedly had the longest undersea tunnel in the country. He’d heard you could walk across the whole Pacific Ocean by foot.
Because of the November holiday, the people in front of the aquarium were all parents and children, there to visit the underwater world. There were huge dolphins and other underwater creatures in front of the door, a backdrop for tourists taking pictures outside in groups of three and five.
Xi Yun’s eyes were full of longing as he asked: “Jie Jie, let’s go see the dolphins?”
He also wanted to take pictures with Jie Jie.
That look on his little face, who could resist, ah.
He Qingwan agreed on the spot.
Su Tian looked at the time. It was already 5 o’clock in the afternoon. By the time they bought tickets, she reckoned that the aquarium would already be ready to close.
“How about we come tomorrow? We’ll come earlier in the morning and play together with everyone. We can stay for the whole day.”
Although Xi Yun wasn’t happy that that annoying ghost and eccentric young lady would be fighting for Su Tian again, he still agreed.
Being able to go to the aquarium with Su Tian, he was already extremely happy. Everything else he could endure!
………
Ji Family. Ji Shaoheng came back and saw that the little brat was living by his seawater tank again.
In a bad mood, he said: “I already said, when are you going to compensate my coral reef fish??”
When he’d been looking at this smelly boy the last two days, he was super unsatisfied. His nose wasn’t a nose, his eyes weren’t eyes.
The teenager glanced at him, “The anemone ate your coral reef fish, you go find the anemone to compensate you.”
Ji Shaoheng laughed coldly, sneering: “Or, I could look for your clownfish. I’ve found these two dead fish unsatisfying for a long time, I might as well fish them out and throw them away. And, what about your blue-ringed octopus, how dare you raise such a poisonous thing? How many fish has it poisoned? I’ll throw that out with them too.”
The teenager: “…..”
He threw a handful of fish food into the tank, watching as the fish all scrambled to grab some, and said: “There are a pair of special coral reef fish in the Emperor Metropolitan Aquarium. I’ll go see if I can buy them tomorrow.”
Only then was Ji Shaoheng satisfied. With a heng: “If you can’t bring back the coral reef fish, you won’t be able to see your clownfish and octopus again.”
The teenager’s gaze landed on the power plug of the seawater tank, eyeing it, before silently turning away his face.
Forget it, his own clownfish and octopus were still inside.
