After taking a closer look, Lu Quanyu finally confirmed that the jade was the other one that the client was looking for.

Lu Quanyu was so excited that he repeatedly said that it was the right one. He looked at the photo on the phone and said, “This is it. I didn’t expect such a precious thing to be in our Lu family. I have to go back to the old residence tomorrow and ask Mom to leave that thing for me.”

The person they were collaborating with this time was in high demand. Many companies were eyeing that contract, and Lu Corporation was one of them.

With this jade artifact, the Lu Corporation would have a 90% chance of winning this transnational project.

Just as Lu Quanyu thought that there was some progress, Lu Jinsen suddenly jumped out and interrupted him. “Dad, Sister-in-law spent seven million yuan to buy that for Grandma. If you’re planning to give it to someone else, Grandma might not be willing to give it to you.”

“What?” Lu Quanyu’s smile was tinged with shock. He looked up and couldn’t help but look at Meng Chuyuan. “Did you buy that thing?”

Meeting Lu Quanyu’s gaze, Meng Chuyuan couldn’t help but be stunned. She nodded and said, “Yes. I thought that such a big piece of Hetian jade was quite rare, so I bought it.”

Unexpectedly, it was one of a pair.

When she heard that Lu Quanyu wanted to give it away, Lu Qianling also helped to persuade him. “Dad, that thing is too expensive. Even if Grandma is willing to give it away, you can’t just give it away.”

“The two of you are too narrow-minded. 7 million for a project worth 200 million. It’s obvious that we’re the ones making a profit.” Lu Quanyu had already made up his mind. “I’ll discuss it with your grandma tomorrow and think of another way to compensate her.”

The other party already had the intention to cooperate with the Lu Corporation. If they had the support of the jade artifact, he believed that they would definitely be able to win this project.

Suddenly, Lu Qingye said casually, “If this works, I hope Father can give my wife six percent of all profits.”

As soon as he said this, everyone stopped talking. Several pairs of eyes turned to look at Lu Qingye.

Meng Chuyuan held her chopsticks and glanced at Lu Qingye from the corner of her eye. She did not expect him to make such a request to his father and ask him to give her six percent of his profits.

She frowned slightly and looked at him in confusion. “Lu Qingye?”

Lu Qingye reached out his chopsticks and calmly picked up a piece of pork rib for her. He tilted his head and whispered to her, “Don’t worry, I won’t let you be on the short end of the stick.”

“…”

Lu Quanyu raised his head and stared at him. A smile appeared on his serious face. “Kid, you’re actually targeting me with your wishful thinking?”

“She was the one who brought that jade artifact back. She was also the one who paid the seven million yuan. You can’t just sit back and reap the benefits, right?”

He was a businessman. As long as profit was involved, he had to draw a clear line even in front of his biological father.

Lu Quanyu forced a smile and replied, “Alright, six percent.”

Lu Qingye: “Thank you, Dad.”

After settling this matter, everyone continued to eat.

“By the way, son, have you settled your business matters?” Lin Youjuan asked. “Your father is back now. He can help you share some of the burden.”

It was rare for the family to be so united, so Lin Youjuan thought that the days ahead would be as lively as tonight.

Lu Qingye said slowly, “No, I have to go back again the day after tomorrow.”

“You’ve only been back for a few days and you’re leaving again?” She thought that after the father and son returned, they wouldn’t be going on business trips for a while.

“My assistant is over there. There’s still a project to finish.”

Lin Youjuan’s heart ached when she heard that. She had also considered that Lu Qingye had just gotten married, now that he had finally taken the time to come back, he had only been with his wife for a few days before he had to leave again.

She was a little discouraged. Just as she was about to sigh, her gaze fell on Lu Quanyu.

Lin Youjuan said, “Why don’t you let your father go?”
