Chapter: 6221

As he spoke, Ma Ran added: "Oh, yes, daughter. They won't use this as an excuse to withhold your salary? Mom is going to tell you this - such things cannot become the norm for them. It's their problem that caused the project to pause, and your money should not be deducted a penny!"

Shao Chunran sighed in exasperation: "Mom... how can you always talk about money?"

Ma Ran spoke sternly: "In reality, we don't talk about anything else but money. Can't we talk about feelings?"

Ye Chen saw Ma Ran looking so disappointed and quickly chimed in: "Wife, when are you coming back? Has the time been set?"

Shao Chunran said: "I want to wrap up this project's data and progress here today and leave any issues to be resolved. If there are no other problems, I'll rush to get back as soon as possible. I estimate it will take at most tomorrow or the day after."

Ma Ran asked her, "Have you looked at the flight schedule? Are there any suitable flights for tomorrow?"

Shao Chunran said, "Miss Li says she can arrange a private plane to send me back directly, but I'm not too comfortable with that. The cost of flying privately is over a hundred thousand yuan. How can we expect someone else to bear that expense?"

Ma Ran quickly cut in, "Well, just take a commercial flight back and let her settle the bill for the private plane! That's one hundred thousand!"

Ye Chen quickly added, "The Li family has planes to spare, and even when not used they still need to be maintained. The actual cost of an additional flight is actually quite low, and besides, there are no direct flights from New York to Jinling. We'll have to transfer in between, which will be a hassle. Darling, why don't you just let Miss Li arrange for the private plane to take you back?"

Shao Chunran said with some difficulty, "But that would be so awkward..."

Ye Chen said, "There's nothing awkward about it. After all, this is Miss Li's proposal. I'll make sure to thank her when we get back."

As they spoke, Ye Chen added, "You've been away in the US for so long, Mom and Dad are really missing you. Once your work is done, you can rush back and let Miss Li arrange for a private plane to take you. You can sleep on the flight and arrive home directly. Otherwise, we'll have to wait until the flight takes off and then transfer again, who knows what time we'll end up arriving?"

Shao Chunran nodded slightly upon hearing Ye Chen's words, puffed out her lips, and whispered, "To be honest, I also want to go back as soon as possible, but I'm just worried about letting someone else bear the expense."

Ye Chen laughed, "Well, when your husband earns enough money to buy a private plane, you won't have to worry about it!"

Shao Chunran took her words lightly and replied casually, "That's true, but I don't want you to work too hard."

As she was saying that, a professional woman came to Shao Chunran's office and said politely, "Shao madam, shall we delay the next meeting for a bit?"

Shao Chunran quickly replied, "No need, I'll go over right away."

After speaking, she turned to Ye Chen and said, "I won't discuss this with you now. There's an urgent matter that needs to be addressed after the meeting, and I'll talk to you about it later."

"Okay." Ye Chen smiled and said, "You go ahead, and let me know when you're done."

After hanging up the video call, Ma Er suddenly muttered to herself, "Hey, what does that mean? That Mrs. Fee is paying Shao Chunran how much money?"

Shao Chunfeng looked at her with a blank expression and asked back, "Do you think someone's wealth just falls from the sky? Charging rich people for services is just a normal business price, and it's not like sweeping the floor of Apple company would earn them hundreds of thousands of dollars!"

Ma Er scowled and cursed, "Shao Chunfeng, oh Shao Chunfeng, you're really good at being yourself. Are you comparing our own daughter to Apple's cleaning staff?"

Shao Chunfeng quickly said, "I'm not saying that! My point is, even if someone works for Apple, they should only get what they deserve. Although Shao Chunran did well in her field, earning a few hundred thousand dollars after a year is already impressive. If you want to compare it to the United States, don't be ridiculous."

Ma Er looked down her nose and said, "One look at you and I know you don't understand human nature. Mrs. Fee wouldn't give Shao Chunran such a high salary without looking for good connections to help with feng shui."

Ye Chen listened to their bickering and got a bit of a headache. Conveniently, his phone received a message from Fei Ke Xin at this moment, saying, "Mr. Ye, are you available to take a call?" JrNovels.com
