Chapter 1049 Brother Yu, Please

"It's up to you. Do it if you want, or don't if you don't."

"Don't worry about my relationship with his cousin."

“The fact that his cousin didn’t come to me personally means that he has other ways to get food besides our place.”

Shen Lu really hit the nail on the head.

He Lan's heart was breaking upon hearing this.

He looked at Bai Yu: "Brother Yu, please, if you cook for me for a few days, you'll be the male lead in my next movie!"

Shen Lu burst out laughing.

"Brother Yu, you'd better not do it for him. I'm afraid the male lead in his next drama will be a ghost."

After all, he started out writing suspense and horror novels.

He Lan immediately swore: "No way, my next project is a crime investigation novel, and the male lead is a former military officer turned criminal police officer!"

Shen Lu's eyes flashed, and Bai Yu's gaze toward He Lan also sharpened.

But it was fleeting.

Unexpectedly, He Lan was very observant and noticed even such a tiny change.

"Don't look at me like that. Brother Yu, you must have been transferred from the military. We know a lot of people like you from families like ours."

"Many families hire bodyguards who are veterans for their children."

"Are you Little Deer's bodyguard and chef at the same time?"

Bai Yu didn't deny it, and laughed easily: "You're right, I was recommended to Xiao Lu as her bodyguard by chance."

"However, I am indeed the best cook, so I am now her chef as well."

He Lan had an expression that said, "I knew it."

"Brother Yu, can you help me for just one week? Is one week alright?"

He Lan looked pleading, and this time Bai Yu didn't refuse.

"Are you really planning to write about crime dramas next?"

Not only Bai Yu was looking at him, but Tie Zhu also came over.

"Screenwriter, if Bai Yu can be the male lead, then it's okay for me to be a supporting male character, right?"

With his towering height and build, he couldn't possibly be just an ordinary passerby.

He Lan suppressed a laugh: "Yes, it's perfectly fine."

"I'll make the arrangements!"

Shen Lu shrugged secretly beside her.

"You two were just bought off by him like that?" She thought the two of them were naive.

They may be the main characters in the script, but they are not the ones making the film.

As long as they are still employed, they will never be able to enter the entertainment industry to act.

So what's the point of making them the main characters?

Both of them could see Shen Lu's disappointment and frustration.

Bai Yu laughed and said, "I was just thinking that having one more person to eat with is fine, and besides, he only needs a week."

"Besides, they're creative people, so consider this our friendly support."

What Bai Yu didn't say was that he was also doing it out of respect for me.

After all, he had a relationship with He Qing, and he didn't want to put me in a difficult position.

Although, in my eyes, saying no is very simple.

He Lan didn't care why the other person agreed.

All he knew was that Bai Yu's agreement meant he would have food to eat for the next week.

Tie Zhu agreed to deliver the food to him, and he gave Tie Zhu an extra fifty yuan for the delivery.

Two meals a day, fifty yuan, that's quite a lot.

He originally offered 100, but Tie Zhu felt he couldn't rip people off too much, so he only offered 50.

After He Lan left, Tie Zhu put his hand on Bai Yu's shoulder and chuckled, "I guess I've finally gotten a taste of the benefits of following in Lao Bai's footsteps."

Shen Lu shrugged: "Just don't overwork yourselves."

"I'll go to the pharmacy first."

What Shen Lu was most satisfied with about this villa was that her older brother had specially built a pharmacy for her, where she could make medicines and conduct experiments.

This set isn't cheap.

It is said that her second brother paid for the purchase.

Every one of her brothers is very generous with money.

This house might not even cost as much as the experimental equipment in the basement.

This pharmacy can be considered a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine.

"Another neighbor has come to the door."

As soon as Shen Lu was about to leave, Shen Jiu called out from the doorway.

Shen Lu paused in her steps: "Who is it this time?"

"An old lady who had come to queue before carried over a ham."

Shen Jiu hurriedly went to help carry the ham. Grandma is old, what if she hurts her back carrying such a big ham?

"Grandma, why are you here?"

"Didn't you already give me a gift yesterday?"

Shen Lu remembered that the old lady brought a box of gifts over yesterday.

What brings you here again today?

“I’m old and useless. My children and grandchildren aren’t around. I can’t cook. The caregiver bullies old people and replaced all my good things.”

"I just fired my nanny a while ago, so now I have to eat out every day."

"Ordering takeout doesn't taste good, and it's not hygienic either."

"Young lady, let me have a meal at your house. My son owns a supermarket, so we have all kinds of delicious food."

The old lady is really good at speaking; her words are also very clear and logical.

"Grandma, you can ask your son to hire someone to come and cook for you."

"Nowadays, many young people take on this kind of work. As long as you place an order, someone will come to your door. If one doesn't work, you can switch to another."

"This can prevent the problem of hiring a nanny to steal food from your home."

"Moreover, someone like you must have eaten a lot of good food."

"If the catering service dares to switch out the ingredients, they definitely won't be able to hide it from you."

The old lady realized she had met her match.

This girl is even better at talking than her!

"I used to teach philosophy at university. You look very smart, young lady. Which university did you study at?"

Shen Lu: "...Beijing University".

The old lady's eyes lit up: "What major? With your eloquence, are you studying Chinese literature or...?"

Before she could finish speaking, Shen Lu interrupted her: "Medical school, study clinical medicine."

The old lady exclaimed in surprise, "You're amazing! Girls who dare to study medicine are all brave warriors!"

Not only because studying medicine takes many years, but also because not everyone can get on the operating table.

Some people lack the mental and physical strength to withstand the stress, so even if they are admitted to the hospital, they cannot undergo surgery.

To study clinical medicine, these two qualities are indispensable.

"Thank you for the compliment."

"However, I still cannot agree to you joining us as a group."

"You're getting on in years, you should have a medical check-up every year, right?"

"You need to avoid certain foods; they should be different from what we eat."

"If any problems arise from eating this, we cannot take responsibility."

"I'll have someone send this ham back to you."

The old lady didn't expect that her attempt to elicit sympathy wouldn't work.

"I am very healthy and don't need to avoid any foods," the old lady argued.

Shen Lu shook her head again: "You need a professional chef to plan your meals."

"Although Bai Yu is a good cook, he doesn't have the energy to prepare meals for you every day."

“We eat whatever he makes every day, we’re not picky.”

"You can't."

The old lady had to admit that Shen Lu was right.

But she still didn't want to give up.

"I just need to eat lighter meals; I don't need to pay too much attention to anything else."

"I think it's more realistic for you to hire someone to come and cook for you."

"Then can I hire your employees?" The old lady chose to settle for second best.
