Chapter 302 Sending Lunch to the Wife
Chapter 302 Sending Lunch to the Wife
"Oh? You terrible little girl, did you only realize that now?"
The two of them laughed merrily and soon reached back home.
He was just in time to start cooking lunch.
Han Li and Qiu Lei were the only ones at home. The moment Ye Fan came back, they chased him into
the kitchen to start preparing lunch.
Lu Wen-Jing came in to volunteer to help.
"Fan, does Mu-Cheng come home during lunchtime?” asked Lu Wen-Jing curiously while Ye Fan was
cooking.
Ye Fan shook his head. "Mu-Cheng is very busy and she seldom comes back for lunch. She usually
just settles with ordering takeout from the office."
Lu Wen-Jing started worrying when she heard this.
"That won't do. My teacher says that takeouts are often unhygienic and make people fall sick easily.
Besides, since Mu-Cheng can't even bear to buy makeup, I don't think she'd buy nice food out there
either. Fan, why don't we send food to Mu-Cheng today?" suggested Lu Wen-Jing.
After she said that, Ye Fan felt that she had a point.
Ye Fan had sent lunch to Qiu Mu-Cheng before too, but she didn't want him to send food anymore
because she didn't want to trouble Ye Fan. She said that she could just order whatever she wanted to
eat.
But now that there was a problem in the company and they still hadn't gotten the approval from the
government, Ye Fan figured that Qiu Mu-Cheng was probably going to scrimp and save on herself like
what Lu Wen-Jing said.
Actually Ye Fan had thought of helping Han Shao-Jie earlier because he thought he could then talk to
Han Dong-Min about getting the approval for Mufan Real Estate.
Han Dong-Min was a deputy mayor and was in charge of the Industry and
Commerce Bureau, so it only took a word from him to settle such a matter.
But Han Dong-Min had treated them with such contempt and Ye Fan had fallen out with him, so there Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
was no chance to mention this matter at all.
If Qiu Mu-Cheng still couldn't settle this, Ye Fan was prepared to call Li Er.
Li Er was still pretty influential in Yunzhou after all, so he would know a few people in the government
who could help with this.
Getting an approval for Mufan Real Estate shouldn't be too difficult.
"If only Miss Xu were still around, everything would be much easier. She's been in the corporate circles
of Yunzhou for so long, so she could probably settle this with just a phone call. Why did this woman just
disappear like that? She didn't even say goodbye."
At this time, Ye Fan thought of that mature and elegant woman, Xu Lei, the boss of Hongqi Group.
Xu Lei was the one who built Mufan Real Estate from scratch for Ye Fan.
Ye Fan wanted Xu Lei to help Qiu Mu-Cheng after the business started, but Xu Lei ended up
disappearing without a word.
Xu Lei had left very suddenly and Ye Fan had asked Li Er about her before, and it seemed like her
family had come to take her away.
She had gone for so long. She was probably not coming back anymore.
"Well, that turned out well for Qiu Mu-Ying then."
Ye Fan shook his head and laughed. He was hoping that Xu Lei would come back and he would tell her
to tear up that contract and stop working with the Qiu family so that these ungrateful bums would be
taught a good lesson.
After all, this was a deal that his wife had worked so hard for but she had to give it away in the end. Qiu
Mu-Cheng was upset, and even Ye Fan was upset too.
"Fan, why aren't you saying anything? Are you going to bring food to Mu-Cheng or not?” Lu Wen-Jing's
voice snapped Ye Fan out of his faraway thoughts.
Ye Fan nodded and replied, "Sure, Jingjing. We'll send food over to Mu-Cheng in a while."
"Yup! Let's give her a big surprise!" Lu Wen-Jing seemed to be very excited about this.
After Ye Fan had finished cooking, he packed Qiu Mu-Cheng's share nicely into a lunchbox and was
going to send it to her after they were done eating.
"Hmm? Where are you going in such a hurry instead of eating?” Han Li was puzzled by why Ye Fan ate
so quickly and was in a hurry to go out.
Lu Wen-Jing replied, "Auntie Li, Fan and I are going to send food to Mu-Cheng.”
What?
"You're going to Mu-Cheng's office?" Han
Li was a little surprised to hear this.
Qiu Mu-Cheng always just ate out or ordered takeout for lunch. Was she now too poor to buy food for
herself and wanted Ye Fan to deliver food to her?
Han Li realized almost immediately that her daughter's company was in some sort of trouble and wasn't
going as smoothly as Qiu Mu-Cheng had said.
"This won't do. I have to go over and take a look. If this company is really going to close down, I must
make sure Mu-Cheng resigns as soon as possible, otherwise she'd get held back."
The entire family was supported by Qiu Mu-Cheng. If she couldn't earn enough to feed all of them, how
were they going to live?
Would they end up on the streets?
So of course Han Li was especially concerned about Qiu Mu-Cheng's job.
After thinking about it, Han Li decided that she and Qiu Lei would also go over to bring food to Qiu Mu-
Cheng so that they could check out the company's situation.
"We'll go too."
Since his mother-in-law said so, Ye Fan had no choice but to let them come along.
Mufan Real Estate had been set up not too long ago.
The building it occupied and the fittings were all brand new.
Qiu Mu-Cheng and the rest were all ready to hold an opening ceremony once they got the approval.
They already had the invitations all written out!
But their plans didn't match reality.
After preparing so much, they ended up getting stuck at this approval stage.
Without the approval, the company couldn't start doing business officially. If they tried to do business
now, it would be against the law and they could get sued.
So everything had been delayed as a result.
Mufan Real Estate was now just sitting pretty and was about to run out of funds.
Qiu Mu-Cheng had just finished having a meeting with the directors of the company and was about to
order takeout on her phone.
Just then, a friendly male voice came from behind her.
"Miss Qiu, you haven't had lunch yet, right? Don't order takeout, I got the cook at home to prepare an
additional serving, so why don't we eat together?” A young man in a suit smiled as he spoke to Qiu Mu-
Cheng.
Qiu Mu-Cheng replied politely, "Manager Zhang, it's alright, I've already ordered takeout."
Qiu Mu-Cheng was about to reject him when her colleagues walking by started smiling strangely and
said, "Miss Qiu, Manager Zhang has been trying so hard, so don't reject him anymore."
"He's been bringing lunch to you for one whole month without fail and you've rejected him for an entire
month too. If you refuse his kind gestures one more time, even we will start feeling bad for him."
All the colleagues around her started laughing at the same time.
After hearing what they said, Qiu Mu-Cheng started to feel a little guilty.
If she didn't accept his kind intentions, then it would really make her seem very unfriendly.
"Alright then, Manager Zhang, I'll accept it this time. I'll transfer the cost of lunch to you later. But
please, don't trouble yourself like this in the future."
