Chapter 343 A Delicate Balance
When she received the call from Su Chengyi, Chu Qingmian was singing karaoke at home.
Yes, she has a private dance hall in her home.
The sound and screen are of the highest standard, but usually these devices just eat dust.
Today, when Chu Qingmian was chasing Furui around the house, she accidentally remembered its existence and decided to remove the ashes.
Singing karaoke alone was boring, so she called on the cleaning ladies at home to join in.
The strange thing is that the aunts who usually tolerate her various strange requests are unwilling to sing with her at all this time.
So Miss Chu had no choice but to hold the microphone and enjoy herself.
"If you don't love me! Give me back my heart! You exchanged love for your youth! What else have I left behind!"
"Why do you tell me! It's all! My fault! I think love is too beautiful and too tempting!”
"Wumeng Mountain is connected to the mountains outside the mountain! The moonlight shines on Xiangshui Beach! Can anyone tell me! But the sky is calling you!"
This is a song that is familiar to the cleaning aunts, and some It's even their cell phone ringtone.
But apart from nodding in approval, applauding, cheering, and waving in support, no one dared to speak up and sing along.
Miss Chu was confused, but she couldn’t guess the reason.
The aunties smiled on the surface, but in fact they all had lingering fears.
Those who can voluntarily stay at the Chu family during the Spring Festival are all veteran employees who have worked here for many years. Their salaries are very generous, and they even receive red envelopes and bonuses during the Chinese New Year.
The big boss Chu Yuanjiang spends very little time at home, and the eldest lady is well-behaved, sensible, and very talkative. Butler Han, who is usually in charge of affairs, is also very educated and generous.
Logically speaking, they don’t need to be so careful.
Then, the reason has to be traced back to a similar incident a few years ago.
At that time, Chu Qingmian was still young and liked to pester her aunt at home to play various little games with her.
It happened that once, in a song and dance hall like this, Chu Qingmian invited her aunts to sing and dance together.
The atmosphere was fun, and Chu Qingmian also successfully learned a popular square dance song.
At this time, the lady suddenly came back.
On the surface she just smiled and said nothing.
He turned around and asked Butler Han to summon all the aunts for a meeting. He gave them a lesson in a strange and indirect manner, meaning to ask them to clarify their position.
It's hard to find such an easy and profitable job in the Chu family even with a lantern job. Most of the people who work here shoulder the burden of the whole family, and the whole family looks at them for meals.
So under Wei Peilan's pressure, all the aunts were so frightened that they held their breath and did not dare to express their anger.
With such a psychological shadow, even after a few years, they would never dare to play around with the eldest lady again.
Seriously speaking, I don’t even want to enter this dance hall, for fear that the lady will come out of some corner with a smile.
Fortunately, Chu Qingmian does not like to oppress others. No one is accompanying her, so she plays by herself.
When I was singing "Today is a good day~", I received a call from Su Chengyi.
“What?! Going to my uncle’s house to pay New Year greetings???”
Chu Qingmian’s shocked voice was transmitted to the speaker through the microphone, and then passed to everyone present through the speaker with surround lossless sound quality people.
"Ahhhh!!! Why didn't you tell me earlier? I haven't even changed my clothes before I got up!"
Chu Qingmian threw the phone and rushed away in a hurry Go out, leaving the aunties standing in a row looking at each other.
After a while, they finally realized that this was Master Su calling, so they quickly chased after him.
"Miss! Your cloakroom location has been moved to the fourth floor!"
Su Chengyi returned Yang Liu's car first, otherwise if she drove her car to pay Su Zelang New Year greetings, Based on Su Zelang's brain circuit, it is very likely that he misinterpreted it as Yang Liu's provocation.
Maybe he will drive his Lincoln Navigator to take over her parking space as revenge.
Then he took a taxi and came to the door of Chu’s house.
As soon as Su Chengyi opened the car door, Butler Han who was waiting at the door came to greet him.
"Master Su."
Su Chengyi nodded and jumped out of the car.
Every time he came to the Chu family, the attitudes of these people would make him have the illusion that he was really a wealthy young man.
In fact, he just took advantage of Miss Chu.
"I heard from the young lady that you want to take her to celebrate the New Year?"
Butler Han's tone was a little tentative.
Su Chengyi was convinced that she was teasing him.
After all, he has not even bowed to Chu Yuanjiang yet.
“It doesn’t count.”
Su Chengyi shook his head and spoke accurately.
“If we want to call it New Year greetings, of course we must first consider Mr. Chu’s side.
But I asked beforehand. Mr. Chu has not been in Tang’an City these days, so. ”
Su Chengyi glanced sideways at Butler Han, with an expression that was half-smiling but not smiling.
“You can think of it as meeting parents, or going on a date.”
Butler Han was choked and felt that he could not defeat the young master, so he had to hurry up and walk in front of him to help open the door.
Su Chengyi walked into the living room and saw Chu Qingmian lying on the railing on the second floor waving to him.
"Su Chengyi~"
Behind her were two rows of fully stuffed roller clothes hangers.
“Help me choose what I want to wear.”
"Just the third one on the left."
Su Chengyi raised his head and replied seriously.
"The third item on the left. Oh! It's a claw-buttoned coat. I didn't expect you to be very discerning!"
Chu Qingmian turned the coat on her hand. The circle is displayed, and the more you look at it, the more satisfied you become.
“Hey, how did you choose it? I like this one too!”
Chu Qingmian smiled happily.
"I just said it casually."
Su Chengyi suppressed a smile and ruthlessly exposed the truth.
Butler Han standing next to him was also holding back a smile, because he also knew that he couldn't see the complicated clothes on the hangers from the angle downstairs.
“I hate you!”
Chu Qingmian glared at him angrily and expelled Furui from the second floor to the downstairs.
"Fu Rui, I order you to bite his socks off!"
Fu Rui let out a "bark" as if he was saying "order", rolled and crawled, Rushing down the stairs menacingly.
After seeing clearly that the enemy was Su Chengyi, a little human being who was always very easy to mess with, Furui immediately stopped and turned over, showing his white belly to him.
This means: "I'm so upset, you can't beat me!"
Su Chengyi laughed, knelt down and picked its furry head.
This Spring Festival, this guy is really growing well. Not a single ounce of fat in his body is empty, he is really fat.
It feels warm to the touch and feels solid.
“Hmph, little traitor!”
Miss Chu, who was watching the game on the second floor, stamped her feet and finally chose this orange horn-buttoned coat.
It looks very festive and warm.
Su Chengyi carried Fu Rui upstairs and buttoned the last button of her collar for her.
Her lower body is worn with a cream-white pleated skirt, camel-colored short boots, and a plush ball decoration dangling behind her.
Towards that stop, it looks like a small piece of orange-flavored cake.
She is really beautiful and well-behaved.
She can win over 99% of the male parents in the world with her face alone.
After all, who can say no to a sweet girl.
Su Chengyi pinched her face and asked patiently:
"Can you leave now? Miss."
"Well wait a minute, you said I want to Why don’t you wear a hat? My bangs are too long and they won’t look good if they get blown by the wind.”
Chu Qingmian was arranging her appearance in the mirror, as if she was going to attend some board meeting.
"It's not so strict, just be more natural."
Su Chengyi laughed and casually rubbed the top of her hair into a mess, so as not to blow the wind. "Yeah!"
Chu Qingmian nervously began to comb her hair with her fingers.
"Let's go."
Su Chengyi ignored it and pulled her down.
Butler Han deliberately ignored the two people's intertwined hands and signaled with a kind smile that Uncle Gao was already waiting for them in the underground garage.
"Su Chengyi, am I beautiful today?"
"Beautiful."
"Perfunctory ghost, you speak with your conscience!"
"Beautiful."
"Really."
Suspicious ghost Chu Qingmian was doubtful, and she turned her head again Come ask someone else.
"Aunt Wang, am I beautiful today? Aunt Zhang, am I beautiful? Butler Han, who is more beautiful yesterday or today?"
Everyone in the family was made to laugh by her, and they nodded and said:
"The eldest lady is the most beautiful!"
"There is no girl more beautiful than my lady in the world."
"Today is more beautiful than yesterday, and tomorrow will be more beautiful than today."
Han Butler also contributed a standard answer to this question of death.
Su Chengyi walked in front, the corner of his mouth raised slightly.
On weekdays, the huge Chu family manor is deserted, but now that there is such a pistachio, life must be much more relaxed and pleasant.
This was the first time that Su Chengyi came to the Chu family's garage. Although he had already expected the level of wealthy people in the Chu family, seeing these dazzling array of luxury cars with his own eyes was still unavoidable and jaw-dropping.
If you look for any car here, it will be difficult for ordinary people to touch the taillights after a lifetime of hard work.
No wonder Miss Chu thinks it’s nothing unusual to receive a Bugatti Veyron as a birthday gift.
Maybe it's because there are seven or eight of the same model in her garage.
Does Chu Yuanjiang have a collecting habit? It’s too much to go to this level!
He rarely uses these fancy sports cars.
As a low-key business boss, the black Maybach is the best match.
The maintenance fees alone for these big toys in the garage are a lot of money.
Su Chengyi folded his arms, a little hard to understand.
But Chu Qingmian was obviously used to this scene. She walked by without looking away, just full of joy for the next trip.
Uncle Gao stood in front of the Mercedes-Benz G not far away and waved to the two of them.
Fortunately, I chose this one that is not too high-profile.
Su Chengyi felt slightly relieved, opened the car door, and let Chu Qingmian get in the car first.
Chu Qingmian climbed into the car, immediately grabbed the back of the seat and asked:
"Uncle Gao, are you ready with the things?"
"Well, Butler Han is entrusting someone. It’s arranged.”
Uncle Gao nodded and put on his gloves, pushing up his sunglasses very reliably.
Su Chengyi glanced back with some confusion and saw several large boxes full of things in the trunk.
Obviously very expensive liquor and tea.
“What is this doing.”
Su Chengyi asked.
"New Year greetings, you can't come empty-handed, right?"
Miss Chu is confident.
Su Chengyi said "tsk", why are these two people like this? It's just a New Year's greeting, and the way of preparing things is almost like preparing a dowry.
However, after thinking about it, it was up to her.
Obviously, the common New Year goods that can be bought in shopping malls and supermarkets are not of interest to the Chu family.
Chu Qingmian just prepared it according to the usual gift-giving specifications, so it should be nothing.
Su Chengyi thought like this.
until you get off the bus.
Su Chengyi, who had been pestered by Miss Chu to adjust her makeup, discovered that there were several black cars following behind, looking like a convoy.
Dozens of people in black suits lined up to get out of the car and began to unload the goods from the car.
“.”
Su Chengyi was silent.
Uncle Gao directed several people to transport the boxes into the house in an orderly manner, like an excellent employee on the workshop assembly line.
Su Zelang, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, obviously did not expect such a posture and was completely stunned.
To be honest, when he saw this group of stern-faced men in black, he thought he had offended some big shot in society and was going to be arrested for pouring cement.
"Happy New Year, Uncle Su~"
Chu Qingmian, who was out of tune with the atmosphere at this time, jumped out with a smile.
Su Zelang immediately felt that today's weather was much clearer.
"Oh! It's Xiao Chu, happy new year, happy new year!"
Looking at Chu Qingmian's smiling face, Su Zelang felt his fatherly heart burning. But you still have to ask.
“What are these?”
“Ah, I’m here to pay New Year’s greetings to my uncle today. These are New Year’s gifts.
It’s a small thought, nothing worth mentioning~”
Chu Qingmian cupped her hands and shook her head, as cute as the little Fuwa in the New Year painting.
Su Zelang also nodded solemnly and imitated
"Thank you, thank you!" ”
These two people are quite suitable to be father and daughter, Su Chengyi couldn’t help but complain in her heart.
After the pleasantries were over, the assembly line employees finally completed their tasks. They stood straight in a row, waiting for the next round of instructions.
Su Zelang felt uncomfortable being stared at by them, rubbing his hands with an embarrassed look on his face.
Chu Qingmian felt relieved, turned around and said:
"Thank you for your hard work~"
Unexpectedly, the men in black all bowed in unison, Road:
"Serve the lady! We don't have to work hard!"
For a moment, Chu Qingmian was so embarrassed that she wanted to crawl into the ground. Who taught them to talk like this! What a shame!
It must be dad! ! !
“Okay, okay, let’s go back first.”
Chu Qingmian held her forehead and couldn’t bear to look directly.
After sending away a group of men in black, Su Zelang finally welcomed the two people who came to pay New Year greetings into the house.
"Son, you are serious too! Why did you bring Xiao Chu here without telling me beforehand? Look, this scared my dad into a cold sweat!"
Su Zelang wiped his forehead , akimbo looking at the mountains of gifts piled at the door.
"On New Year's Day, if you don't do something bad, you're afraid of someone knocking on your door."
Su Chengyi threw it back without mercy.
Su Zelang paused for a moment and decided not to feel uncomfortable with this prickly head. Instead, he smiled and talked to Chu Qingmian next to him.
"Xiao Chu, are you hungry? My uncle is going to have a barbecue at home today. Do you like it? If you don't like it, let's go out to eat!"
"I like it!"< br>
Chu Qingmian’s words don’t sound like words of high emotional intelligence. There seems to be nothing she doesn’t like.
Compared with Chen Jinzhi's nervous and restrained appearance at Yangliu's house, the squad leader is much more comfortable, has no stage fright, and openly talks about what he likes to eat.
"Uncle, I want a bunch of grilled wings."
"Uncle, this flesh and blood joint looks delicious~"
"Su Chengyi, do you like rice cakes? If you don't like it, help me." I'll grill two skewers."
Su Chengyi looked at the two people in front of the barbecue who were having a great time getting along with each other in private for the first time, and felt more and more that her decision was correct.
Introducing Chen Jinzhi to Yang Liu and Chu Qingmian to Su Zelang can maintain this delicate balance.
