Chapter 110

Song Qian’s face flushed, and she couldn't help but lower her head.

Yet, her small hand reached out from under the dining table and gently pinched Qin Feng’s leg.

Qiao Yingzi, however, had no suspicions and nodded with a smile: "I believe you. Brother Qin Feng, actually, you’re just too lazy to buy furniture, right?"

"Hahaha."

Qin Feng laughed heartily and took the opportunity to nod.

Then he added: "In that case, Aunt Song Qian, I’ll let you use this apartment as a venue for your daycare center for free."

"Since there’s no furniture in the place anyway, you can buy some children’s toys, small desks, an indoor slide, and things like that."

"Mm."

Song Qian nodded.

She then said: "If I really open a daycare, I definitely won't be able to handle it alone; I’ll need to find someone to help."

"You have someone right nearby."

Qin Feng pointed toward the direction of Unit 6: "Luo Nian, who lives next door to me, would be perfect."

"She’s a full-time stay-at-home mom, and she was already looking for a job to help support her family."

"Now that you’re opening a daycare, if you hire her, she can work while taking care of her own child."

"Plus, she has a nutritionist certification. She can scientifically plan the children’s lunches every day to ensure they get the daily nutrition they need. It’s killing two birds with one stone."

"Mm, that’s a great idea. I’ll go talk to Luo Nian with you in a bit."

Song Qian nodded upon hearing this: "With me and Luo Nian, the daycare can basically open for business."

"In the beginning, Luo Nian and I plan to take in only 15 children. We’ll charge about 1,600 in tuition per child per month, which comes to over twenty thousand a month."

"After deducting related expenses, Luo Nian and I should be able to split about ten thousand each. That’s not bad at all."

"Mm."

Qin Feng added with a smile: "A tuition fee of 1,600 is really cheap for the Imperial Capital. You’ll definitely have plenty of children coming."

"And once you’ve built up a reputation later on, you can hire some professional early-childhood educators and expand your enrollment. You’ll earn even more in the future."

"That’s true."

Song Qian nodded earnestly, then smiled and said: "If it really grows bigger and bigger, who knows, maybe one day your Aunt Song Qian will become a rich woman and be able to keep a... hahahaha!"

Halfway through her sentence,

Song Qian realized she had almost said the wrong thing, so she hurriedly used laughter to cover it up.

Meanwhile, Qiao Yingzi acted as if she hadn't understood,

and chimed in with a smile,

"Mom, you’re already a rich woman now!"

"That’s different."

Song Qian gave Qin Feng a deep look,

then immediately put a piece of fish into Qiao Yingzi’s bowl, urging her to hurry up and eat.

After finishing dinner,

Song Qian couldn't wait to pull Qin Feng over to Unit 6.

Then,

she pushed Qin Feng into her home.

Looking at Song Qian’s flushed face and the longing in her eyes at this moment,

Qin Feng teased with a smile: "Aunt Song Qian, didn't you say we were coming to find Luo Nian?"

Upon hearing this,

Song Qian gave Qin Feng a shy and coquettish glare,

then pushed him into the kitchen.

Qin Feng was somewhat surprised.

Just as he was about to ask,

Song Qian shed all her restraints,

and under Qin Feng’s gaze,

she slipped her fair toes into black silk stockings,

then slowly pulled the stockings up.

Subsequently,

she put on a hazy, black-gauze apron with white embroidered lace,

along with matching wrist flowers, a head veil, and a choker.

Then,

she walked slowly toward Qin Feng,

crouched down,

looked up at him, and whispered: "Qin Feng, I’m so hungry..."

……

"Ding! Sowing successful, rewarded with 20 million in cash."

Having received another 20 million cash reward,

Qin Feng smiled happily.

At this moment, Song Qian finally left Qin Feng with great reluctance,

but then turned to look at him, still somewhat unsatisfied: "Qin Feng, I’m still a little hungry..."

"Let’s talk business first."

Qin Feng smiled and pointed at the time.

Only then did Song Qian, with a hint of resentment, change into her coat,

and then went with Qin Feng to ring the doorbell at Luo Nian’s place.

At this moment,

Luo Nian and Liang Youan were still worried about the situation with Chen Yiyang.

When they opened the door and saw Qin Feng and Song Qian,

Luo Nian forced a smile.

Liang Youan, however, looked at Song Qian a few extra times with some surprise,

then asked: "Qin Feng, were you guys next door just now?"

"Mm, yeah."

Qin Feng nodded casually,

appearing completely indifferent.

Song Qian, however, felt a bit nervous and couldn't help but move a little further away from Liang Youan.

Seeing Qin Feng’s natural expression,

Liang Youan stopped being suspicious: "I was wondering, I heard some clattering sounds from next door earlier. Were you cooking?"

"Mm."

Qin Feng nodded and smiled at Song Qian: "Aunt Song Qian wasn't full, so I made her a little extra."

Song Qian’s face turned red instantly.

Wanting to change the subject as quickly as possible,

she looked at Luo Nian and said directly: "Luo Nian, I heard from Qin Feng that you used to be a nutritionist, right?"

"Mm, yeah. I studied it back in college and got my nutritionist certification. Later, I worked in athlete conditioning for a while."

Luo Nian finished with a smile, then asked with some confusion: "Sister Qian, do you need my help with something?"

"In a way, yes."

Song Qian nodded.

She then continued: "Luo Nian, I actually want to open a daycare in the neighborhood. I used to be a teacher and have taken care of many children, so I have experience with little ones."

"Coincidentally, I heard you’re a nutritionist and can help adjust the various nutrients children need for their bodies, so I came to find you."

"Here’s the current situation: I have certain connections and resources in the neighborhood. As long as we join forces to open this daycare, enrollment won't be a problem."

"My general idea is that we’ll start by recruiting only 15 children. We’ll provide care on weekdays and rest on weekends."

"The tuition is 1,600 per child per month. This price is very low for the Imperial Capital, so the parents will definitely support it."

"And here’s the thing, Luo Nian, for the initial phase, let’s just handle it between the two of us."

"I’ll be responsible for the children’s daily teaching and guidance, and you’ll mainly be responsible for planning their lunches and nutritional supplements. Anyway, with only that many children, the two of us should be able to manage."

The daycare will be right here in our neighborhood. You don't need to worry about equipment; I’ll take care of that. As for Luo Le, she can just stay in the class with you and study like the other children; we won't charge for her."

"As for the profit sharing, I’m thinking we split the monthly earnings 50/50 after costs. However, I must be the one to make the final decisions on the daycare’s overall direction."

"Luo Nian, what do you think about this?"

Song Qian finished speaking and looked at Luo Nian, waiting for an answer.

Luo Nian was pleasantly surprised.

Just a moment ago,

she was still worrying about not having a stable source of income.

And now,

Qin Feng and Song Qian had brought her a way out.

A small-scale daycare of 15 children, plus Luo Le, made a total of only 16.

Based on experience,

Song Qian and Luo Nian could definitely take care of them together.

Moreover,

it was the perfect opportunity to put her nutritional knowledge to use.

She could accompany Luo Le while earning money.

And based on the price Song Qian mentioned,

Luo Nian should be able to make over ten thousand a month.

That was already very good.

So,

Luo Nian nodded,

and said embarrassedly: "Sister Qian, thank you so much. I’m willing to join your daycare."

"But, we can't do a 50/50 split. You’re the one doing all the initial investment, so I should take less. Let’s do 70/30."

"No need."

Song Qian shook her head with a smile: "I’m doing this just to pass the time and interact with the children more, not to make money."

"Since you agreed that I make the final calls on the big decisions, then listen to me: it’s 50/50."

"Alright, I’m going back now to draft an agreement. Then I’ll announce it in the homeowners' group and buy some basic equipment. I estimate that in a week at most, our daycare can open!"

"Alright, you guys keep talking, I’m off to get busy."

Song Qian finished and stood up to leave.

Luo Nian hurriedly stood up to see Song Qian out.

Qin Feng had originally planned to go straight home,

but was secretly held back by Luo Nian,

and then,

he returned to the sofa.

After quickly going to the kitchen to pour Qin Feng a glass of ice water,

Luo Nian looked at Qin Feng,

her mind filled with thoughts.

She knew that Song Qian coming to find her to open a daycare had a lot to do with Qin Feng, and it was even possible that Qin Feng had initiated it.

Therefore, she was actually filled with gratitude toward Qin Feng.

However, now she had some other things she needed to trouble Qin Feng with,

so for a moment, she didn't know how to bring it up.

Seeing Luo Nian looking at him as if she had something left unsaid,

Qin Feng asked with a smile: "Anything else? Go ahead."

"Okay."

Luo Nian nodded,

glanced at Liang Youan,

and then said: "Qin Feng, my ex-husband Chen Yiyang has probably hired another lawyer and wants to fight me for Luo Le’s custody again."

"I don't know if he’ll come to harass us again during this time. I’m a little scared."

"So Qin Feng, could you spend more time with us these next few days?"

In Luo Nian’s eyes,

as long as Qin Feng was around, she felt completely safe.

Even if the sky were falling, she wouldn't be afraid at all.

That was why

she begged Qin Feng to keep them company for the next few days.

Looking at Luo Nian’s pleading eyes,

Qin Feng nodded and then asked: "What about you? Since Chen Yiyang has hired a lawyer, don't you plan to hire one to respond to the lawsuit?"

"..."

Luo Nian was silent for a while,

then lowered her head in embarrassment.

Liang Youan, who was on the side, added: "We don't have the money; we can't afford one. I checked, and just hiring a lawyer now costs thirty or forty thousand in total..."

Just because they didn't have money?

Then this was very easy to solve.

After hearing Liang Youan’s words,

Qin Feng shook his head and smiled: "Actually, you can still hire a lawyer even without money."

After saying that,

Qin Feng began to explain: "Every registered lawyer is required to perform a certain amount of pro bono service each year, which means providing free legal services to those in need. You guys can look into that."

"We already looked."

Luo Nian shook her head dejectedly.

Liang Youan added: "We checked the information and asked some lawyers. Generally, big-name lawyers only take on high-profile cases for their pro bono work."

"And those inexperienced junior lawyers usually have a win rate of less than 5%..."

"Actually, if we had the money, we’d love to hire lawyer Qin Shi. Her professional ability is very strong, her win rate is high, and her main practice is divorce litigation. She has a great reputation in the legal field."

"It’s just a pity that lawyer Qin Shi is too busy. I tried calling a few times, but couldn't get an appointment..."

"Qin Shi?"

Hearing the name Qin Shi,

Qin Feng smiled.

He had already taken an interest in Qin Shi last night,

but had been busy today and hadn't gone to find her.

But now,

it was the perfect time to let Qin Shi come to him.

So,

Qin Feng dialed Qin Shi’s number directly: "Qin Shi, are you busy?"

"Boss?"

When she answered the phone,

Qin Shi was lying in the bathtub.
