Chapter 99: Willful Nonsense

Miaoyu Qin chimed in as well. “Yes, the food Qian An cooks is really delicious. The dishes I make are only just barely edible.”

“That’s all right. As long as Qian An knows how to cook, that’s enough. If I want to eat, I’ll just have him make it.”

The smile at the corners of Miaoyu Qin’s mouth widened. “All right, Grandma. With your blessing, if I ask him to cook for me later, he definitely won’t dare make excuses to slack off!”

Qian An Lu listened to that and pretended to be somewhat unwilling. “You can’t go making things up like that. Any time you’ve wanted to eat something I made, when have I ever refused?”

The video call wandered from one thing to another and went on for more than half an hour. Seeing that her grandmother’s expression was clearly growing tired, Miaoyu Qin said, “Grandma, you should rest first. Next time we have a chance, we’ll call you again, all right?”

“All right. You two should hurry and eat, too.”

The call ended. Miaoyu Qin handed the phone, somehow already in her hand, back to Qian An Lu.

Only then did she realize that they were far too close. The side of her face was only two or three centimeters from his, and in the lamplight she could even see how good his skin looked…

Realizing her thoughts had wandered too far, Miaoyu Qin immediately leaned back and returned the phone to him.

Qian An Lu took it and said, “Eat quickly. Don’t wait until the food’s gone cold.”

After they finished dinner, Miaoyu Qin saw Qian An Lu downstairs.

Before he left, Qian An Lu specifically reminded her that if she had time, she could make the dishes in the refrigerator herself. If she truly had no time or didn’t want to cook, she could contact him, and he would provide door-to-door service.

The words door-to-door service made Miaoyu Qin laugh.

“Hiring President Lu to come personally is far too extravagant. If I calculated it based on how quickly you make money, I wouldn’t be able to afford it.”

Qian An Lu laughed along with her. “You can afford it. As long as it’s service for you, it’s all free. I’m leaving now. Goodbye.”

With that, Qian An Lu headed for the garage.

Only Miaoyu Qin remained in place, her heart rippling faintly because of what he had said.

After Jiang was coaxed into a better mood by Ling Yan Xia, she returned to her room, collapsed onto the bed, and fell asleep again. She slept until the next morning. When she woke, her head hurt as though it were splitting open.

Rubbing her temples, she remembered that she had drunk too much at the bar yesterday, and that Miaoyu had brought her back. Later, she had even dreamed that Ling Yan Xia was coaxing her and video-calling her…

Video-calling? Jiang suddenly felt that the video call did not seem like a dream.

She took out her phone and checked, only to find that the chat with Ling Yan Xia still stopped at several days ago.

Jiang rubbed her head again. Of course. How could Ling Yan Xia possibly coax her…

She got up and walked out toward the living room.

Seeing Jiang wake up, Miaoyu Qin hurriedly said, “Wash up quickly. The food is all still warm. You can eat in a bit.”

When Jiang sat down at the table and tasted the dishes, she was immediately surprised. “This shouldn’t be made by you, right? Which place nearby did you buy it from? Or did you order takeout?”

Hearing her question, Miaoyu Qin shot her an annoyed glare, then explained, “It wasn’t made by me. Someone came to the house and cooked it.”

Jiang asked casually, “A chef you hired came to your door with such good skills? That must have been expensive, right?”

“Not only cheap, but he even bought the ingredients himself.”

“There’s such a good deal?”

“Hahaha, I’m kidding. It was Qian An Lu who came to cook.”

Miaoyu Qin told Jiang the whole story from beginning to end.

Jiang gave a click of her tongue, privately sighing that Qian An Lu truly had a clever mind.

Still, he hadn’t done anything bad. On the contrary, he had put Miaoyu in a better mood, so whether or not he was calculating really didn’t matter.

Thinking of Ling Yan Xia again, this younger uncle couldn’t even compare to his nephew!

Miaoyu Qin checked the time and said to Jiang, “You’re going to the Xia Group after breakfast, right?”

Jiang looked utterly shocked. “To the Xia Group?”

“Didn’t you and Ling Yan Xia agree on a video call yesterday that you’d go to the Xia Group today, so any misunderstanding could be explained face-to-face?”

Jiang was even more astonished. “Video call? I checked, and my phone doesn’t show that I ever video-called Ling Yan Xia…”

“Your phone didn’t. I couldn’t unlock it, and Qian An Lu happened to be there, so I used his phone to contact Ling Yan Xia.”

Jiang’s chopsticks slowed. She had thought those things were all a dream, but they had actually happened?

Remembering the words Ling Yan Xia had said to her, her face also brightened with a few more traces of happiness.

After Jiang left as well, Miaoyu Qin tidied up and prepared to head to the studio for work.

But before she even got out the door, she received a call.

There was a problem with the first order she had taken.

The two sides had originally communicated everything clearly. Then the studio would draw up a plan, and once the client felt the proposal was fine, they would proceed to set up the venue according to the agreed time.

Half of this order had already been arranged yesterday; today was mainly for adjustments and final finishing touches.

But as soon as the studio staff arrived at the venue, the client said the setup was poor and that they were not satisfied.

Even though the studio staff patiently tried to communicate, the other side still refused to accept it and demanded a refund…

“They said if we don’t refund them, they’ll expose us online and say our studio is a scam…”

Miaoyu Qin had a headache.

She had followed this proposal from start to finish, though it had been carried out by another newly hired wedding planner at the studio.

In any case, she was very satisfied with that planner’s ideas and designs, and the client had never shown the slightest dissatisfaction.

She had thought this order would never run into any mishaps. Who could have guessed something would go wrong now?

“Did Xiao Sun handle the contract with this client strictly according to the training he received before? There wasn’t any problem with the process, was there?” Miaoyu Qin asked the person on the other end.

The other party replied, “President Qin, it was done exactly according to the training, and there’s nothing wrong with the process.”

Miaoyu Qin let out a slight breath. As long as the contract itself had no problem, this wasn’t a major issue.

“All right, then that makes things much easier. Stay there and wait for me. I’ll be right over.”

Miaoyu Qin took a taxi to the scene.

By then, the place was already in chaos. The mother of the prospective groom, whom she had met before, was standing there cursing heaven and earth, then laying into the studio staff with full force.

Miaoyu Qin walked up to them and extended her hand. “Hello, I’m one of the people in charge of the studio. I’ve come to talk about how this should be handled.”

The prospective groom’s family thought she had come to discuss the refund and enthusiastically shook her hand.

“May I ask when the refund will arrive? We…”

Miaoyu Qin withdrew her hand and interrupted them with a smile. “I think you’ve misunderstood. As I just said, I’m here to discuss how this should be handled. Let’s both sides clearly explain the whole sequence of events. If it’s our fault, of course we’ll refund you. But if it’s your fault, then you’ll have to compensate us.”
