Chapter 475: Stealing the scene!
As the New Year approached, Shui Qingshan and Shui Qianyu finally came back.
The pair of daughter and father had lost a lot of weight after being busy for so long.
There was nothing to worry about the chubby Shui Qingshan but Chen Huan felt bad for Shui Qianyu.
Chen Huan had the skill ‘Professional Chef (Intermediate)’ and he knew what dishes Shui Qianyu liked to eat so a few days before the Spring Festival, he made eight or so dishes she loved for her to eat.
And those didn’t look like it would make people fat.
The table of dishes didn’t only stun Shui Qianyu as the entire family was stunned.
Thank you Good Lord.
What Chen Huan got wasn’t the skills of one of the eight Chinese styles of cuisine but the entire skillset of an intermediate professional chef.
So Chen Huan could do any dish, whether it was pastry or meat dishes, sauté or frying etc… It also included more than 200 types of dim sun.
Although Shui Qianyu felt her body was still in puberty and didn’t need to diet, she still told Chen Huan that he didn’t need to cook too much after the New Year in order to not overstuff her body.
If not, just look at her dad, he had gained 5kg in just ten days as he not only made up for the weight he lost during the concert and he even gained some.
Xia He didn’t mind it.
She liked her man a bit chubby as chubbiness represented the wellbeing of the family.
During that tour, Comeback performed a total of 15 concerts.
It was mostly done in 7 cities.
It was well received too as even if the venue had less than 30k places, it was all sold out and there wasn’t any need to sell the tickets at discounts.
Moreover, the scalpers got the tickets for 180 for each and suddenly sold all of them for 280 each, which made them regret.
They would sell for 380 if they knew!
However, 280 yuan was already the price for small empresses/ emperors and 380 would reach the level of emperors/empresses!
It made the planners a lot of money.
So in the end they took 80 million with them after tax and they gave a 5 million bonus to Shui Qianyu for her performance.
Those planners wanted to have 20 concerts in those second-tier cities in the latter half of the year but Shui Qingshan refused.
It was never a good thing to consume the enthusiasm of the fan too much.
Didn’t Zhang Xueyou and Jay Chou tour once every two years? Who was like them in China where people needed luck to get into their concerts otherwise they could only buy the tickets of scalpers?
They planned to do some commercial performances next year and advertise themselves a bit.
It would be the right time to hold concerts the next few years after they accumulated a bit of popularity.
Even if the popularity slowly dwindled, the income for the two years alone would be a lot.
According to their accord, the 80 million would be divided between the members of Comeback and Chen Huan so each of them would receive 13 million with the extra 2 million for various expenses.
But the money the band made was more than that.
The album ‘Comeback’ also earned them 12 million so each person got 2 million.
Those two big sums of money made Shui Qingshan’s brothers no longer about food or clothing, which made them very happy as they celebrated it during the Spring Festival with plenty of drinks.
Chen Huan would definitely be with the Shui family for the Chinese New Year.
It was the same as last year.
On New Year’s Eve when Chen Huan and Shui Qianyu were chatting while wrapping dumplings, a sound resounded in his mind.
“Ding Dong!”
“Meng Zijing has gotten out of poverty and gained her confidence back.”
“The host successfully completed the task so the steps to produce the Lunar Ointment is issued.”
“Lunar Ointment is the women’s favorite beauty product made of 18 different medicinal herbs. When applied to the skin, it can not only eliminate facial sores, macula, wrinkles and other skin diseases, it could also eliminate the root of it and improve the skins’ smoothness and elasticity.”
Chen Huan: “!?”
O(≧o≦)O
Good Lord, are you joking with me?
You said the ointment was for improving the body?
Uh…
Although it wasn’t clearly and in detail, wasn’t it implied?
But how was it a beauty product now?
Look at my Qianyu, my Dong’er or Yiyi… even those School Flowers in my school, which of them need that damn Lunar Ointment?
Quickly change it back for me!
Chen Huan frantically complained to the Good Lord but it was still as unreliable as before. Then he felt confused.
What happened?
How could Meng Zijing regain her confidence without saying anything?
Good Lord, the requirement you ask is a bit weird!
Then at that time, Xia He, who was watching the news nearby, suddenly exclaimed,
“Wow~~~ Meng Zijing got arrested by the police!”
Chen Huan, “…”
Good Lord…
Meng Zijing couldn’t have anything against you right?
The other party got even taken to the police stations and you still affirmed that she gained her confidence back?
Shui Qingshan gave Chen Huan a look and asked Xia He in surprise, “When did that happen?”
“Hmm… just now, around an hour ago…” Xia He said while she searched for info, “There’s a video…oh, she came out but she just went to the car and said nothing! Hey, there are bruises on her face! What happened? It’s still New Year’s Eve!”
Chen Huan felt even more speechless.
Shui Qianyu got even more stunned and said, “Chen Huan, how about you call Sister Meng and ask what happened?”
Except the first time she came to the small noodle shop, she had been over there a few times and it was mostly to thank Chen Huan.
Shui Qianyu had a lot of affection toward the grateful big sister and felt worried at that moment.
Chen Huan also got curious.
How unlucky must one be to be arrested by the police during New Year’s Eve?
The key point was that the never appearing Good Lord actually determined that she gained her confidence back because of that, which confused Chen Huan a bit.
Chen Huan nodded and called Meng Zijing’s personal cell phone.
It rang for a while before it was picked up.
“Hello, Teacher Lu?” Meng Zijing answered with a slightly hoarse voice, obviously she cried just a moment ago.
“Teacher Meng, I’ve seen the news. If it isn’t too much, can I ask what happened?” Chen Huan went right into the matter.
“Oh, it’s my ex-husband…” Meng Zijing snorted before she continued in a low tone, “He suddenly came back and said he wanted to get back together. In fact, he saw that I was making good money, became famous and having a good life so he wanted to satisfy his vanity and get the money.”
“He even thought because I expressed being heart-broken and nostalgia toward the past in the two songs I sang that I couldn’t live without him… so…I smashed a guitar on his head.”
Impressive Sis!
Chen Huan had the urge of giving her a thumb up in respect.
Although Meng Zijing didn’t give the details of it, it definitely wasn’t that simple.
How else would the bruises on her face come from?
“Teacher Lu, don’t worry, I’m okay!” Meng Zijing laughed sadly, “I’ve truly given up and set. There’s nothing I miss in that man. For my kids, I’ll definitely live with confidence and generosity, to let them know that everything is for them!”
After hanging up the phone, Chen Huan understood now.
Why did the Good Lord determine that the mission was accomplished?
It must be because after the arguments and fight, Meng Zijing finally got rid of her demons from the past.
She had bruises on her, which wasn’t pretty.
But whether it was her mindset or personality, it had all improved and her true self-confidence had risen from her mind.
This was why Chen Huan received the method to make Lunar Ointment!
