When he saw Li Chuchu, the coldness in his eyes softened a bit. He naturally sat down beside her. "Still preparing for the Mid - Autumn Festival Gala?"
Listening to Li Chuchu tell those little things that happened in the broadcasting room was one of his favorite daily activities. Those trivial things were interesting, especially when she told them.
So every time Shen Yanshan would start the conversation.
Li Chuchu didn't even look up, saying indifferently, "It's almost done. There are just a few minor troubles left."
Whether it was the girl who made trouble or Duan Jingqi, they were just minor troubles to her. As long as they didn't affect her money - making, they weren't important. What she was thinking about now was how to get the system to assign more tasks. After all, there had been no movement in her bank card account for a long time, which made her a bit anxious.
Shen Yanshan watched her slightly worried look and let out a soft laugh. His long fingers couldn't help but pinch the space between her eyebrows and then poke her little face. The soft feeling almost made Shen Yanshan addicted.
Li Chuchu slapped his hand away, glared at him, and gave him a little scolding.
Shen Yanshan retracted his hand dejectedly.
"The foreign machinery was delivered the day before yesterday. I've been busy assembling it these days. The factory should be up and running soon."
Li Chuchu was not interested and just gave a cold "hmm".
Shen Yanshan felt a bit frustrated. He coughed lightly and changed the topic. "We sold more than thirty radios last time and made more than twenty thousand yuan. Do you want half of it?"
Li Chuchu's eyes lit up and she immediately looked up. "Okay!"
Shen Yanshan's eyebrows twitched.
This little thing was really money - crazy.
But she was his wife. What could he do?
Just give her the money!
Shen Yanshan helplessly took out a thick stack of ten - yuan bills from his briefcase. There were exactly ten bundles, with a hundred ten - yuan bills in each bundle.
"Go and spend it. There's not a single extra cent left."
While others might coax their wives with a hairpin or two pieces of candy, Shen Yanshan just threw ten thousand yuan on the table. The money he won at the horse - racing club was just enough to buy the foreign machinery. The remaining twenty - odd thousand yuan, he had to keep more than ten thousand as the start - up capital for the factory.
It wasn't that he didn't want to give more.
It was just that after setting aside the necessary money, Shen Yanshan didn't leave a single cent for himself.
Li Chuchu stared blankly at the thick stack of bills in front of her.
Ten thousand yuan, just like that!
She declared that Shen Yanshan was her biggest benefactor!
Li Chuchu quickly hugged the stack of money into her arms and looked up at Shen Yanshan with a flattering smile. "You've really worked hard. You must have been busy and tired these days outside, right? I'll pour you some water."
She quickly brought over a glass of water at the right temperature, then started to massage his shoulders and back. She really showed what "sycophancy" meant.
Shen Yanshan sighed. "It seems I only get this kind of treatment after giving you money. I wonder if the daily revenue of the factory in the future will be enough for me to get a glass of water when I get home."
Although his tone was helpless,
his eyes were soft. The curved eyes cast a shadow under his eyelids, and there was a glint in his eyes like shiny flakes. The slightly upturned corners of his mouth revealed his happy mood at the moment. He looked like a fool infatuated by love.
Li Chuchu quickly said, "Of course you can drink water and have a meal. You'll get this treatment even if you don't bring back any money." She murmured in a low voice, "It's like I'm a capitalist who only knows how to exploit people. I'm not like that."
"Yes, you're not usually like this. You just ignore people when you don't see any money."
Shen Yanshan slightly raised his eyebrows and glanced at her.
That look clearly said: Don't I know your nature?
Li Chuchu said righteously and quickly interrupted him. "Okay, stop talking. If you keep talking, it'll ruin our harmony."
Shen Yanshan couldn't help laughing.
Once caught, she didn't let others talk?
She was really sly.
But then again, what's wrong with loving money? If it were someone else, it would be considered low - moral, greedy, and lazy. But for Li Chuchu, it was quite reasonable.
Who doesn't like money?
If Li Chuchu didn't like money, what would he earn money for?
She must like money because he could give her enough money. So he was sure that she would always like him and stay by his side.
So, Li Chuchu, you must always be so money - loving...
When Shen Yanshan lowered his eyelashes, his eyes were deep and obscure. After mentally preparing himself, he looked up again and his eyes were back to normal.
"What do you want to eat for dinner?"
Li Chuchu thought for a while. "Let's have pumpkin. Aunt Wang gave me half a pumpkin today. I'll make salted egg yolk pumpkin and onion stir - fried pork."
Shen Yanshan nodded happily. "Okay, I'll help you."
Li Chuchu was still in the experimental stage for many dishes. She would occasionally secretly buy a cookbook from the space and try to cook according to it. If it turned out well, it was great. If not, she would force Shen Yanshan to eat it.
For example, the salted egg yolk pumpkin tonight...
Li Chuchu looked at the disastrous - looking salted egg yolk baked pumpkin in front of her and gave an embarrassed laugh. "Haha, it seems I failed. Maybe I boiled it for too long at the beginning, so..."
As everyone knows, if the pumpkin doesn't hold its shape,
it will become really strange.
There were still some grains of salted egg yolk in it, and Li Chuchu even sprinkled some sesame seeds in an attempt to salvage the situation.
All in all, it was a mess.
Shen Yanshan calmly took it over, picked up a piece and tasted it. He nodded quite fairly. "The taste is okay. I think this new flavor can make up for some of the deficiencies."
Factory Director Shen really knew how to speak. Was her cooking really that good?
Li Chuchu was skeptical. She took a bite with high hopes.
As a result, she almost vomited.
What was this texture?!
It was disgusting!
Under Shen Yanshan's very puzzled look across the table, Li Chuchu silently put down her chopsticks.
Losing her sense of taste for love,
she shouldn't have trusted this love - struck fool.
...
Anyway, Shen Yanshan enjoyed this meal very much, but it made Li Chuchu start to reflect on whether she had been too harsh on Shen Yanshan usually, which made him so hungry that he would eat anything.
Maybe she should make something good for him in the future?
She should just secretly pour out this failed dish.
She turned to look at Shen Yanshan, who was pacing back and forth in the yard, seemingly thinking but actually digesting his food. She secretly made up her mind.
Actually, Li Chuchu's concerns were unnecessary.
Li Chuchu's picky attitude towards food was based on the perspective of a person from forty years later, who had no worries about food and clothing and had access to a wide variety of delicious food. But in this era, people were just barely able to fill their stomachs. Having something to eat was already good.
Moreover, the salted egg yolk was rich in oil and had a delicious and salty taste. For Shen Yanshan, who had fought with dogs for food since childhood, it was already a delicacy.
It was just a new flavor at most.
Shen Yanshan saw Li Chuchu staring at him all the time, looking like she wanted to say something but held back, as if something big had happened. He thought he should go back quickly.
As soon as he entered the door, he heard Li Chuchu say firmly, as if she had made up her mind. "You should have something good from now on."
