Chapter 1338

No other requests?

Since things have been said to this point, can their zoo flatly refuse, or refuse to return the gifts they brought?

It's just mere carrots and cabbage; there's a pile of them in the cold storage. The animals in their zoo all have a balanced diet and don't crave theirs!

But those spring shoots are truly needed!

Therefore, despite a thousand complaints in his heart, the person in charge spoke decisively: "Fine! Our laboratory is very advanced; testing these won't take an hour! Once the testing is done, they will be immediately put into storage and kept separately. Contact me when you arrive tomorrow, and I will send someone to take them out. Any feeding services that can be opened here will be opened for you."

"Of course, this does not include the giant panda! Please understand this; we rented it, and it is treated with the utmost care from top to bottom."

After saying all this, the other party couldn't help but turn to look at that basket of spring shoots with brown sheaths. Because they had already broken through the soil and grown hard, they didn't look as short and fat as winter shoots, but compared to the fibrous, thick, and hard moso bamboo, they were already quite good!

Seeing Song Tan smile and agree, the person in charge followed her into the zoo without delay!

Rong Rong! Our meal is coming right away!

And Song Qiao Song Qiao, still holding the box of carefully mixed cabbage salad, opened his mouth: "He didn't even try it!"

"Hmm." Lu Chuan nodded: "Communicating over the phone was so troublesome, and they kept going back on their word. I didn't expect the conversation to go so smoothly after meeting in person."

Regardless of what they think inside, as long as the goal is achieved, that's fine.

He checked the time: "Are you tired? At this hour, Chang Le Ju shouldn't be closed yet. Do you want to go there to eat?"

"I don't want to go." Song Qiao Song Qiao blinked at him: "Riding in the car is so tiring, and Brother, you must be tired from driving too. Let's go to the hotel to rest early."

Most importantly—

"Brother, I just said I didn't want the meal heating service, and I also said I'd treat them to milk tea tomorrow to apologize—so, can I treat them to this box of cabbage I mixed?"

Lu Chuan smiled, his eyes gentle under the streetlights: "Of course. Song Qiao Song Qiao handled this whole matter, so naturally, you can make the decision."

Only then did Song Qiao Song Qiao beam with joy.

In fact, he felt a bit strange when his brother easily mentioned 1,000 yuan and then casually canceled it. Now that they have the delicious cabbage from home, the kitchen staff should feel much better!

He let out a long sigh, and as everyone got into the car, he asked curiously: "Brother, do my shoes really cost 3,000 yuan? Mom used to buy me shoes for only 68!"

"Do you ask for this 1,000-yuan service every time you stay in a hotel?"

"Are you richer than my sister?"

He leaned over the back of the seat, resting his chin on Song Tan's shoulder, full of curiosity.

For Song Qiao Song Qiao, Lu Chuan's way of treating him with affection is different from his sister's, and it serves as another kind of encouragement for his growth.

Especially since Lu Chuan himself always answers every question, unhurriedly, which is completely different from the feeling of asking his father, who might stammer and not come up with an answer.

He was very expectant.

Lu Chuan started the car, speaking unhurriedly: "Yes, shoes have a VIP discount, 3,680 yuan."

At the time, he hadn't thought about developing such a relationship with Song Tan, so he had noted this price range. It wouldn't be so expensive as to be a burden, nor would it be just a name without enough comfort.

"I've worn 68-yuan shoes too, and some are made quite well. It's not that high-priced things are necessarily good, but if I want peace of mind and to reduce trouble, I'll choose the option that looks more professional in my daily life."

Before his car accident, or to be more precise, more than a decade ago.

He really had worn 68-yuan shoes.

"I didn't have extra dining requirements in hotels before, but when I went on business trips to participate in projects, the business suites I was arranged in came with a small kitchen, and the room rate was 3,888 per night."

"So I think, after paying a high price, the staff will assume that everything they handle is worth far more than the labor fee, and they will subconsciously be much more cautious."

"For example, some people might steal food, or not put enough effort into their work—I think it's very cost-effective to spend a little money to buy off 80% of the potential trouble."

"As for whether I am richer than your sister..."

Lu Chuan turned his head and saw Song Tan also looking at him curiously. The two had their heads close together, their expressions showing the same anticipation, and his smile deepened.

"Hmm, I suppose so."

"Wow..." Song Qiao Song Qiao opened his mouth wide: "My sister is the most amazing sister in the world! Brother, do you actually earn more money than her?"

Lu Chuan glanced at Song Tan again: "It's different."

"First of all, I have been working for many more years than your sister, so it's normal to have accumulated more money."

"Secondly, there are many people in this world like me who write stories for a living, but Song Tan, who can grow unique and delicious ingredients, is the most irreplaceable one."

He looked at Song Tan, his eyes reflecting the dim lights in the car, shining brightly: "So, she is the most amazing."

Song Qiao Song Qiao's cheeks turned red with excitement instantly!

That's right! Sister is the most amazing!

"Then, then, then, how much money do you have?" Song Qiao Song Qiao, the incarnation of a hundred thousand whys, started counting his own savings before Lu Chuan could answer: "Sister said that after my year of hard work and educating the children, plus my signing fee, I'm almost at 10 million now!"

"I still have some pocket money myself."

"What about sister? How much does sister have?" Song Qiao Song Qiao turned his head again, equally curious.

There was nothing to hide about this, so Song Tan thought for a moment: "Before last October, we were basically in a state of expansion and debt, but since October, plus the payment Boss Chang made a while ago, our family is almost at 20 million too!"

Now, the siblings looked together at Lu Chuan, who hadn't revealed his family fortune yet.

Lu Chuan thought for a moment: "If you don't count real estate and investment projects that haven't made a profit yet... it's not much, probably a little less than 120 million?"

Song Tan:!!!

Song Qiao Song Qiao: (?????)!

He didn't understand what investment projects were, but that didn't stop him from immediately starting to count on his fingers: "One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand..."

"How are you so rich?" Song Tan was truly surprised.

She knew roughly that Lu Chuan was very capable of making money, but this number was too far from the tens of millions she had imagined, right?

Lu Chuan was rarely cunning: "I told you, didn't I? I started writing when I was in college. The first book didn't earn much money; the copyright fee was only 800,000."

But, every two years after that, he had a new book, and the copyright fees rose year by year with inflation and his growing fame.

And with the comprehensive development of IP projects, the highest copyright fee had even exceeded 46 million.

Not to mention that he also had some small investments himself...

Without more channels to spend money, capital accumulation is a very easy thing.
