"Really? Thank you, Auntie!" Liang Qiutong sobbed as she pulled Xu Qingqing's hand and walked into the kindergarten.
It was Su Xiaoyue on duty in the morning. Xu Qingqing said to her politely, "Ms. Su, Qiutong's mom forgot to bring money. I'll pay the travel fee for her autumn outing first."
Su Xiaoyue didn't object. It would be better for her to hand in the money to the kindergarten as soon as all the fees were paid.
Su Xiaoyue took out the payment QR code. "You can pay here."
"Okay." Xu Qingqing scanned the code and paid.
Su Xiaoyue saw that Xu An'an's mouth was shiny and smelled the odor of grilled sausage. She couldn't help frowning and took out the tissue she carried with her to wipe Xu An'an's face.
"An'an, you must have eaten the grilled sausage from outside, right? Didn't the teacher tell you that such junk food is not allowed?"
Xu An'an stuck out her tongue but couldn't help retorting, "But teacher, I think the grilled sausage is really delicious!"
After Xu Qingqing scanned the code and put away her phone, she spoke up for Xu An'an. "Teacher, kids just like to eat snacks. It's okay."
"An'an's mom, I'm teaching the kids not to eat junk food from outside casually now. It will be very troublesome for me if parents interfere when I'm managing the kids."
Although Su Xiaoyue's voice was soft, it sounded prickly, stabbing at Xu Qingqing.
What the hell!
You can educate the kids, but can't I educate my own kids?
Xu Qingqing was a bit annoyed. Moreover, she controlled the amount of grilled sausage the two kids ate. She only allowed them to eat it twice a week. What bad influence could that have?
Xu Qingqing's gaze turned cold slightly. She said to Xu Yiyi, "Yiyi, take your sister and Qiutong inside. It's cold outside."
"Okay." Xu Yiyi pulled the two girls inside.
Xu Qingqing looked at Su Xiaoyue whose face changed slightly. She didn't care if Su Xiaoyue wanted to chase after Lu Chuanbai, but if Su Xiaoyue targeted her for no reason, she wouldn't take the bullying.
"Ms. Su, I know well what to feed my kids."
After saying that, Xu Qingqing turned around gracefully and left.
There was no need to make it too clear. Su Xiaoyue wasn't a fool.
After Lu Chuanbai settled into his new home, looking at the warm - decorated new home with a color scheme that was no longer just black, white, and gray, Lu Chuanbai felt for the first time that this was what a home should be like.
Lu Chuanbai sat on the sofa, propping his forehead with one hand. While listening to his secretary's report on yesterday's work summary absent - mindedly, he was thinking about how to make the two kids come to his home on their own initiative.
Woof! Woof!
At this time, two barks came from outside the door. Lu Chuanbai squinted his phoenix eyes and the corner of his lips curled up.
He had an idea. Kids must like puppies. As long as he bought a puppy and kept it at home, they would definitely come.
"… The sales volume increased by 50% according to yesterday's statistics. Mr. Lu, do you think there's anywhere that needs improvement?"
Lu Chuanbai nodded. "I also need a dog."
"A dog?" The secretary was stunned when he heard Lu Chuanbai's out - of - the - blue words.
What did this have to do with a dog?
Lu Chuanbai sat up straight and pinched the bridge of his nose. "I mean I want to buy a dog. Do you have any recommendations?"
So Mr. Lu just wanted to buy a dog himself. It gave him quite a scare.
The secretary sat down and asked Lu Chuanbai seriously, "Mr. Lu, do you have any favorite breeds of dogs? Do you want a smart one or a cute one?"
Lu Chuanbai wasn't really focused on buying a dog. "A smart one. Preferably a dog that has been trained to go to the toilet by itself."
He didn't have the patience to teach a disobedient puppy.
The secretary smiled and sized Lu Chuanbai up carefully. "Then choose a Border Collie. Border Collies are very smart dogs. I have a friend who runs a pet store. I'll ask him to train it."
It was strange. Mr. Lu had been smiling more and more these days, and he even had the interest to buy a dog.
He was becoming more and more human.
"Then what color does Mr. Lu like?"
"Just choose one for me." Lu Chuanbai wasn't very interested in dogs. He just wanted to use the dog to attract the two kids to his home.
It would be best if they could live in his home.
"Then I'll choose the best one for you."
Anyway, Lu Chuanbai wasn't short of money.
"Okay." Lu Chuanbai lifted his fingertips. "Continue with the report."
Xu Qingqing returned to Lu Qi's shop and continued to repair Mr. White's antique.
Fang Qing took the vase she had forced a customer to give her. On the way, she hired a passer - by and pointed at Lu Qi's shop.
"See that shop? You just need to pretend to be a customer and take this vase in for repair."
"After you succeed, as long as you don't reveal your identity, I'll give you 200 yuan."
The passer - by was naturally happy. He just needed to say a few words without any loss to himself. But he still asked warily, "You're not a bad person, are you?"
"Don't worry." Fang Qing quickly said, "I had a quarrel with the boss of that shop, but I can't find any other shop to repair this vase, and I'm too embarrassed to go to him. So I want you to do me this favor."
Hearing this, the passer - by put his mind at ease and patted his chest to guarantee, "Don't worry. I'll take care of this."
Lu Qi was training a new receptionist when a customer walked in, holding a cloth - wrapped package in his hand. He asked right away, "Do you do repairs here?"
Lu Qi waved his hand, casually and handsomely telling the new employee to step aside. "We do repairs... What do you want to repair?"
"I want to repair this." The passer - by opened the package, revealing a broken vase.
This vase had a beautiful shape, was stately and imposing. Since its shape was like an inverted fish tail with colorful fish scales.
As soon as Lu Qi saw it, his eyes widened. This was the famous fish - tail color vase from the Kangxi period.
Lu Qi reached out his hand, wanting to touch it to see if it was real or fake. "Customer, is this from the official kiln of the Kangxi period?"
"Maybe." The passer - by had no idea which era this vase was from. Seeing Lu Qi's eager hand, he offered the vase to Lu Qi on his own initiative. "You can take a look."
"Thank you." Lu Qi took the vase fragments, examined them several times, and confirmed that it was genuine. He held it carefully in his hand.
"Customer, this is a genuine one." Lu Qi carefully put the fragments down.
He was so lucky to see the legendary fish - tail color vase!
"Yeah." The passer - by laughed cheerfully. "How much will it cost?"
Lu Qi wrapped up the package and walked to the counter. "Come on, let's estimate the price."
Seeing that this was a rare treasure, Lu Qi said to the new receptionist, "Hold it carefully and send it to Master Xu for repair."
Fang Qing, who was hiding outside, was satisfied when she saw that her plan had succeeded. She returned to the repair shop.
In the evening, Li Zhengyi, who was sitting in the shop drinking tea, saw Fang Qing come back. He asked slowly, "You sent the fake I brought out from the tomb to Lu Qi's shop?"
Fang Qing nodded and laughed gloatingly. "The antique you stole is exactly the same as the fish - tail color vase brought by the customer!"
The antique that Fang Qing hired someone to send to Lu Qi's shop was found by Li Zhengyi when he stole from an ancient official's tomb. After appraisal, it was a fake.
