Chapter 653: Chapter 653: Partnering Up for a Side Business

Everyone had their fill at this meal, Qu Ruorui patted her stomach and showed Yue Qingqing, “I must be three or four months along by now.”

Yue Qingqing put her hand on it and nodded seriously, “Definitely, Lu Zhu, you can’t shirk responsibility.”

Lu Zhu glared at the two of them, “That won’t do, I can’t afford a dowry.”

The very picture of a scoundrel.

Zhan Zhenfang watched them with a smile, and it was only then that she felt her daughter seemed a bit childlike.

When Lu Zhu escorted the two to the bus station, Yue Qingqing didn’t forget to share her own thoughts.

This time, Lu Zhu didn’t reject it outright, “Let me think about it. Besides, this kind of thing needs different permits, and even if we manage to get them, we need sales channels. We can’t just sell it at the school gates, can we?”

Yue Qingqing: “Take it step by step, and I guarantee you, as long as it can be scaled up, I definitely have channels to sell it for you.”

No more pretending, laying the cards on the table, we have a department store in our family!

Although in Lu Zhu’s eyes Yue Qingqing also comes from an ordinary family, she knows that the other person isn’t someone who speaks without meaning.

“Alright, then I will ask Mom too.”

Qu Ruorui whispered, “You better speak nicely, don’t be rough with Auntie.”

She always felt that the roles of Lu Zhu and Aunt Zhan seemed somewhat reversed, with Lu Zhu acting more like a strict parent.

Lu Zhu glared at her without amusement, “Do you need to tell me that?”

Qu Ruorui: “Yes, just like that, don’t glare at Auntie.”

Lu Zhu: “…”

Who’s the roommate here? I’ve been swayed by my mom after just one meal.

Lu Zhu didn’t leave the bus stop, insisting on waiting until the two were on the bus before she would go.

On the bus, Qu Ruorui and Yue Qingqing laughed, “Lu Zhu is actually quite gentle, she must be worried about us running into any danger.”

She used to be really scared of Lu Zhu, but now she finds that Lu Zhu also has a warm heart beneath a cold exterior, kind of like how Jun Feifei was at the beginning.

But while Jun Feifei is tsundere, Lu Zhu just can’t be bothered with people who don’t matter.

“Yeah.” Yue Qingqing also felt that Lu Zhu had it tough, and thought about what she could do to help Aunt Zhan earn money independently.

The next day when her uncle took her out for a meal, Yue Qingqing was still pondering this issue.

Yue Jiannan waved his hand in front of her eyes.

“Hey, what are you thinking about? Dreaming of your little lover from Minghua University?”

Yue Qingqing quickly came to her senses, “Uncle, what are you talking about!” Who teases their niece like that?

Yue Jiannan chuckled, “Who made you so engrossed? Tell Uncle if you have any problems, Uncle will help you worry and solve them.”

Yue Qingqing muttered under her breath, “You won’t be much help anyway.”

Yue Jiannan couldn’t stand being underestimated, “You’re underestimating Uncle too much, Uncle is skilled in both arts and military, how can I not be of help?”

Yue Qingqing then recounted the situation.

It was just to appease her uncle at first, but to her surprise, Yue Jiannan actually had some ideas after slapping the table.

“I could invest.”

Yue Qingqing was puzzled, “Haven’t you spent all your money on buying houses and renovations?”

Yue Jiannan gave her a wink, “A man always has to have a little secret fund.”

Yue Qingqing smirked, “Got it, I’ll be calling Auntie later to tell her.”

“Don’t do that, your Auntie is really troubled lately. We actually planned to take you to the museum today, but she was called in to work overtime. She’s got all the work piled on her now.”

Yue Qingqing: “Could it be Gui Yi seeking retaliation?”

Yue Jiannan slammed the table, “Exactly that jerk, no wonder he’s called Gui Yi, so deliberate indeed. He can’t take it out on me so he’s giving your Auntie a hard time, she’s even thought about resigning.”

But that kind of decision can only be considered; after all, resigning on a whim would be noted in her record.

It would also be tough to find a new job without a recommendation letter from the last employer.

After cursing for a while, Yue Jiannan returned to the main topic, “Right, I’ve got a bit of spare cash, and I’ve been worried about sitting idle and running through it, just so happens your classmate’s mother has skills, why not partner up and start a side business?”
