Chapter 340 What’s Wrong with You?
Suny smiled and added, “Don’t get me wrong, Elijah. Tell me how much it cost and we’ll make it up to you. In fact, I just want you to transfer the copyright of Twelve Months to us.”
Elijah thought Suny said that on purpose, “I can afford that.”
Indeed, he could afford the copyright payment!
The writer of Twelve Months requested 2. 5 million dollars as the copyright payment. He just agreed without hesitation. He worked so hard to get the copyright but he didn’t expect that he would lose it in horse racing. He felt bad about it.
Maybe Elijah wasn’t good at many things, but he was surely a good gambler, “I’m fine with it, but I think you may have to talk with the writer.”
When compared with Central Group, Phantom was far behind. Anyone who wasn’t out of his mind would choose Central over Phantom. After all, Central was more famous and with better sources, while Phantom was just a company that had been founded for 7 years.
“You don’t need to worry about this, Elijah.”
Seeing the confident smile on Suny’s face, Elijah also realized that his kind reminder was just unnecessary.
They had clearly found out what kind of person Suny was over these years.
Austin fell in love with her with his heart after they got divorced, which meant that Suny was an unusual girl.
Moreover, she was also the Suny from Phantom. She must have well considered everything related before she said she wanted the copyright of Twelve Months. It was as easy as pie for her.
Elijah was thinking about how he was going to tell his men about it because Twelve Months had been put as the top priority of this year’s work.
Suddenly, Elijah regretted coming over today. If he didn’t come over, the weather was still nice and his mood was still good.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
But what’s done was done. It’s no use crying over the spilled milk.
“Why did you choose Twelve Months, Suny?” Elijah was curious.
“For making money, of course.” Suny squinted at him lightly and smiled.
Elijah thought he was dissed by Suny again. What kind of stupid question had he asked?
They had made a deal. Austin spoke, “Time for lunch.”
“It’s on me today, guys!” Suny smiled.
“Thanks, then.” Elijah was a bit happier.
They discussed it and decided to eat private home cuisine in Clear Water Countryside.
The restaurant was open for business last month. They even didn’t have a menu. They just served ninety-nine tables of guests every day and the consumption per person was around one thousand dollars.
Even so, quite a few people were attracted to dine there shortly after it was open for business. It was far from being enough to serve ninety-nine tables of guests every day. People had to make the reservation three months in advance.
But the boss was quite shrewd and sophisticated. They claimed to serve ninety-nine tables of guests every day but in fact, they had reserved three big private rooms and two small private rooms, especially for the rich and influential officials in J City in case they just wanted to dine in his restaurant all at once.
Suny wasn’t somebody in the circle of bigwigs in J City but Suny from Phantom was another story.
Suny called Rosa directly when she got in the car.
It was a nice weekend and Rosa, who was single, had just finished cooking lunch. She thought there might be something serious when she received the call from Suny. She simply took the apron off her and was about to get changed in the room and got ready for it.
However, when she had just returned to the room, Rosa heard Suny saying, “Rosa, please make a reservation of a small private room in Clear Water Countryside for me, and I’ll be there in half an hour.”
“OK, I see, Ms. Suny.” Rosa felt released a bit.
It was the first time that Suny had bought lunch for Elijah. Though he had lost the copyright of Twelve Months to Suny, he had pulled himself together when they arrived in Clear Water Countryside, “Have you got any plans after lunch?”
“Why are you sticking with us? Don’t you have a partner?” Austin squinted at him.
As a single guy, Elijah felt heart-wrenched, “Well… I just think it will be more fun with your guys around.”
Suny took over the tea that the waitress had made and thanked her. She took a sip of it, looked at Elijah, and said with a light smile, “Why don’t you ask a girl out, Elijah?”
Suny paused and went on speaking, “You just can’t find one, right?”
Elijah was trying to say something but he felt Austin and Suny’s words stung him a lot, then he got unhappy, “It isn’t like that. I just have too many girlfriends but I don’t feel like staying with them for the weekend.”
For Elijah, he could lose everything but his face!
Suny looked at him significantly and said, “Oh, good for you!”
Elijah was proud of himself instantly, “Sure! You don’t know it, Suny, do you? When Austin was going after you, I came up with more than 60% of the ideas. When it comes to pursuing girls in J City, I yield to none!”
Suny couldn’t help laughing at it. Then she turned her head to look at Austin, “Oh, it turns out that you learned it from Elijah, right?”
Austin stared at Elijah’s high-blown face, and he felt like splashing the tea on his face to help clear his mind.
But he finally controlled himself since they had been friends for so many years. Then he answered, “No.”
Elijah wasn’t buying it when he heard Austin’s negative answer. “How can you do that, dude? Can you swear that I didn’t teach you to give Suny flowers?”
After that, he turned to Suny and asked, “Suny, did you feel happy and surprised to receive the anonymous flowers every day? Did you think it was romantic?”
“Do you want me to tell the truth?” Suny raised her eyebrows.
Elijah froze and suddenly realized that it wasn’t pleasant to hear Suny telling the truth.
“Well, forget it. It might be a bit old-fashioned, but it was a primary step in pursuing a girl.” He waved his hand and answered.
Suny just smiled, while Antonio simply couldn’t stand him anymore. He filled up the cup for Elijah and said, “Have some tea!”
“I am not thirsty.”
“Have some tea!”
Antonio repeated it.
Elijah got annoyed immediately, “What’s wrong with you, dude? What are you doing? I’ve told you that I am not thirsty. You should hear me out, you pathetic single man. Otherwise, how are you going to hit on girls?”
Antonio glanced at him, “You must be thirsty after talking so much!”
Suddenly, Elijah felt he had been despised and didn’t know what to say in reply.
Well, Antonio had gone too far!
Suny turned to look at Austin and suddenly understood why Austin could bear it to hang out with Elijah for so many years. To be honest, Elijah was very talkative and funny and he could sometimes make himself a laughing stock for them. It was difficult for anyone to be upset when hanging out with him and hearing him talk endlessly.
“Just ignore him.” Austin held her hand.
Elijah had just quieted down. He wanted to talk again when he heard that.
Fortunately, the door of the private room was pushed open at that time. The waitresses came in with the dining car. They were serving desserts and soups before lunch.
They didn’t know how they tasted, but they were sure the setting of the food was high class.
Suny tried the soup. It was nice!
The dishes were served on the table very soon. There were four of them and six cuisines in total. They also severed desserts and fruits after lunch.
The cuisines looked great and tasted good. Clear Water Countryside was worthy of it!
They were done. Suny paid the bill, then the four of them went out of the restaurant in pairs.
When they arrived in the parking lot, Elijah asked again, “Don’t you really have no plan for the afternoon?”
Suny looked at Austin and Austin snorted, “Boxing gym. Would you like to come?”
“OK, it’s been a long time!” Elijah hadn’t been punched for long.
Suny couldn’t help laughing, “Come on! We can just play cards together.”
She said it and turned to glance at Austin.
Austin raised his amorous eyes lightly and got what Suny meant.
