Chapter 29: Lu Yu: Xiao Chen, don't worry!

Tang Yi Pin, Lu Yu's home.

Lu Yu and He Sui sat on one side, while Chen Qiao sat on the other side.

Yes, the seat of honor was left vacant.

Chen Qiao should have taken the seat of honor; his status and position were sufficient for that seat, after all, even this apartment belonged to Chen Qiao.

But… isn't Lu Yu sitting opposite?

If it weren't for Lu Yu being really too young, and with He Sui present, Chen Qiao would have insisted on letting Lu Yu take the seat of honor no matter what.

"Ms. He, this is the car's key and the purchase contract; you just need to sign the contract, and the car will be yours." Chen Qiao pushed a contract toward He Sui.

"What… what is going on?" He Sui asked Chen Qiao, but couldn't help looking at Lu Yu.

Lu Yu smiled faintly, didn't answer, but looked at Chen Qiao; when he said such things, he naturally lacked Chen Qiao's persuasiveness.

It's like this, Ms. He; you might not know, Xiao Yu's game sold well!

In the contract we signed with you earlier at Grand, it was mentioned that there would be dividends; this car is part of the dividends, and it belongs to Xiao Yu.

Of course, Ms. He still can't drive, and Xiao Yu certainly can't drive, so Grand has specially arranged a driver for you.

If you need anything in the future, you can have the driver come over at any time.

Chen Qiao said this very seriously.

He Sui was completely stunned.

She didn't know what the car key Chen Qiao handed over signified, but she knew that cars in this era were quite valuable.

How many days has Xiao Yu been in Mo Du?

Can you make money that easily just by making games?

Xiao Yu… he… he can now support a family!

He Sui thought this, and her eye sockets began to moisten.

All these years she's brought Xiao Yu along—how hard it's been!

She relied on her janitorial wages to support Xiao Yu, pinching pennies every day to get by.

But now… they actually have their own car!

She couldn't help but smile, her gaze toward Lu Yu full of pride, and she couldn't resist gently rubbing Xiao Yu's head.

"Xiao Yu, Mom… Mom can't give you anything, you… you've worked hard…" As she spoke, He Sui's tears were already swirling in her eye sockets.

Lu Yu still wore a smile as he said, "Mom, our life will keep getting better, it will be a hundred times better than now!"

Lu Yu would normally not say these words in front of He Sui.

He felt that doing one thing well was far more meaningful than saying a hundred things well.

He Sui's smile grew wider, her eyes squinting behind her glasses.

……

"Ms. He, I have one more thing to tell you."

As he spoke, Chen Qiao took a deep breath, then pulled another document from his briefcase and pushed it toward He Sui.

"What is this?" Lu Yu's eyes showed some confusion; how could Chen Qiao produce another document?

Chen Qiao smiled and said, "This is the transfer agreement for this apartment. As long as Ms. He signs this contract, the apartment will be yours."

"This… this is out of the question. Director Chen, how… how could we possibly take this apartment?"

"Xiao Yu's game is definitely… definitely not worth this much money."

He Sui hurriedly declined.

Lu Yu, meanwhile, couldn't help but narrow his eyes, but said nothing, just stared at Chen Qiao.

"Plants vs. Zombies" indeed sold well, but after all it's a single-player game; no matter how many downloads, Grand couldn't earn that much money.

Moreover, Grand's investment for the game's release was not a small amount.

Furthermore, Grand needs to maintain operations.

So, at this point, the money Chen Qiao could produce is already not much.

Chen Qiao smiled and said, "Ms. He, you might not understand games."

"The game Xiao Yu made has now become a national game; almost everyone who goes online will download it."

"The benefits Xiao Yu has brought to our company far exceed the value of this apartment."

"Is… is that true, Xiao Yu?" He Sui's voice trembled, making it hard for her to finish a sentence.

Lu Yu pondered for a moment, then smiled and nodded.

He originally did not want to accept this apartment.

The value of this apartment has already exceeded his contribution to Grand.

But he saw the longing in He Sui's eyes.

He Sui, after all, is a rural woman; for her generation, having a house means security, and that counts as having a home.

"Then… thank you so much, Director Chen, thank you, thank you Director Chen, thank you Grand…" He Sui was already somewhat at a loss for words.

Her current mood is hard to describe—excited, agitated, happy, happy, all present.

But what made her happiest was still, Xiao Yu has grown up! Xiao Yu is capable.

This made her happier than obtaining anything else.

……

After the contracts were signed, Chen Qiao then left.

He Sui and Lu Yu naturally saw Chen Qiao to the door.

Lu Yu thought it over, but still continued to follow Chen Qiao.

Chen Qiao also found it not strange.

They just walked forward like that for a distance.

Chen Qiao stopped, then turned back, smiling at Lu Yu, and said: "Xiao Yu, don't think too much; I'm giving you a house, actually..."

"Indeed, I have my own selfish motives."

"I want to keep you."

"You are a smart child, so you should know how high the current value should be."

"So you should also know that I actually want to keep you, and it's not that simple."

"I just... want to do my part."

"If one day you really want to leave, I... I really can't stop you."

"Ah..."

Saying this, Chen Qiao couldn't help but sigh.

I never expected that this founder of Grand would also have such a helpless side.

Lu Yu, however, smiled.

He could naturally guess Chen Qiao's thoughts, but... he actually really doesn't mind.

Never mind that; will he leave Grand?

Wanting to repay Chen Qiao's kindness of giving a house is, for Lu Yu, nothing more than a very simple matter.

One game not enough? Then two!

Lu Yu doesn't have much, but games... aren't something you can just casually make?

"Uncle Chen, you also don't think too much; I don't have any other plans."

"I think Uncle Chen is a nice person, and Grand's atmosphere is not bad either."

Lu Yu said lightly, if it weren't for his insufficient height, he would even have wanted to pat Chen Qiao's shoulder.

This conversation is really strange; if not seen in person, who would think it's a dialogue between an abnormal adult and a seven-year-old child?

From now on, Lu Yu's identity is already completely different!

In just these few days, he already has the qualification to speak as an equal with Chen Qiao!
