Qian Qianqian spoke with vivacity, "Humph, Liu Chunya, let me tell you, with your pig’s brain, it’s not just about having a home-cooked meal; even if you had a full Manchu-Han imperial feast, you wouldn’t beat my idol Xia Chuyi in this lifetime, the next lifetime, or the lifetime after that!"
"You!!" Liu Chunya was so angry her chest heaved dramatically. "Just you wait, I will definitely surpass Xia Chuyi!"
"Oh, then do you dare to bet on it?" Qian Qianqian challenged.
"Bet? Let’s bet!" Liu Chunya blurted out, "What’s the bet?"
Hearing this, Qian Qianqian excitedly said, "Let’s bet money! Bet ten yuan, if my idol surpasses you, you give me ten yuan; if you surpass my idol, I’ll give you ten yuan, how about that?"
"Fine, if Xia Chuyi beats me, I’ll give you ten yuan, but if I beat her, I don’t want the money..." Liu Chunya’s tone shifted, and looking towards Xia Chuyi, she said, "I want her to admit publicly that she is not as good as me!"
Having said this, she lifted her chin proudly.
"Alright, it’s a deal!" Qian Qianqian immediately reached out her hand and sealed the bet with a high five with Liu Chunya.
As for Xia Chuyi, reluctantly involved in the bet:
After Liu Chunya left, Qian Qianqian turned her head toward Xia Chuyi with enthusiasm and excitement, "Are you really Xia Chuyi?"
"Ahem, hello, let me formally introduce myself, I am Xia Chuyi, the owner of ’Youwei’." Xia Chuyi extended her hand calmly and confidently.
"Wow, what an honor, what an honor!" Qian Qianqian shook her hand excitedly, swinging it up and down, "Idol, hello, let me reintroduce myself."
"My name is Qian Qianqian. You can call me Qianqian or Qianqian, but it’s best to call me Qianqian; I prefer this name more."
Qianqian... This name could be said to be quite artistic, money money money.
As for the name "Qianqian," that’s even more straightforward.
"Uh, ahem, Qian..." Xia Chuyi started to speak, but before she could finish, under the other’s expectant gaze, she changed her words to, "Hello, Qianqian."
This kid sure is familiar, directly calling her "Chuyi."
Then, Qian Qianqian tilted her head apologetically, "Sorry, Chuyi, I just made a bet using you and Liu Chunya!"
"If we win, let’s split the money fifty-fifty, okay?"
No wonder Qian Qianqian liked to be called Qianqian.
After a while, she responded coolly, "Keep the betting money for yourself; I don’t want it."
Qian Qianqian’s eyes lit up, "That’s my idol, so confident of winning!"
Xia Chuyi: ...Is that the point?
That wasn’t the point.
Only to hear Qian Qianqian say, "By the way, Chuyi, you bought braised meat earlier but didn’t leave, do you need something?"
"Mhm." Xia Chuyi nodded, not hiding anything, and smiled, "I was thinking of offering you a job at ’Youwei’ because you work so efficiently. But from what Liu Chunya said, you’re still a student, so I reconsidered..."
"Ahh, Chuyi, you want to offer me a job at ’Youwei’? I’ll do it, I’ll do it!" Before Xia Chuyi could finish speaking, Qian Qianqian exclaimed excitedly, "You have no idea how much I don’t want to go to school, it’s my parents who force me!"
Seeing her enthusiasm, Xia Chuyi thought for a moment, then asked her, "What about your family? Wouldn’t they have something to say if you worked at my place?"
Qian Qianqian shook her head, "Don’t worry about them. No matter what I do, as long as it’s not studying, they’ll have an opinion."
