Chapter 539: Chapter 539: Priceless Friendship

Henry felt a twinge of guilt as Anthony put it like that, and he looked to Xu Ying in a hurry to explain, "Xu, you know that for businessmen, profit is the most important thing. If I helped you, my loss would be too great.

And I don’t even know if my help would be successful.

Dear Xu, considering our friendly cooperation, please help me this time, especially since I’ve been punished for my greed.

I really know my mistake now, Xu." Henry apologized sincerely.

Xu Ying looked at Henry with some confusion, "What do you need help with? I don’t have as much money as you guys."

"Xu, you’re seriously considering helping him? He is nothing but a sly and deceitful businessman.

Why should I help him?" Anthony suddenly looked dissatisfied.

Henry indeed gave Anthony a glare, "I don’t need your help. You aren’t the one to make the call on this anyway."

Anthony, frustrated, turned his head away.

Henry looked at Xu Ying with a smile, "I heard you gave Anthony a few steak recipes. I’m willing to pay for these steak recipes, no matter how much they cost."

Anthony, furious, grinded his teeth but did not look at them. Instead, he squatted in a corner with a pitiful expression on his face.

When Xu Ying heard this, she simply spread her hands and shrugged, "I’ve already given the steak recipes to Anthony.

Those recipes belong to him now, and I have no right to sell them to anyone else. I’m sorry, Mr. Henry, but I can’t do what you’re asking."

On hearing this, Anthony’s face lit up with excitement, and he turned around incredulously to look at Xu Ying, "Xu, you are my most, most, most dear friend.

I knew you still cared about me." He went to give Xu Ying a big hug, but just as he approached, Huo Chen blocked him with one hand, "Don’t lay a hand on my wife."

Anthony suddenly felt dissatisfied, "I wasn’t doing anything to your wife; I was just expressing my gratitude for your wife in the way we greet people in my country."

Huo Chen looked at him coldly and said slowly, "Then just express your gratitude to me; I’ll accept the thanks on behalf of my wife."

Anthony, intimidated by Huo Chen’s chill, shook his head in shock and eventually thanked him verbally.

Henry was indeed a bit angry, "Xu, the steak is now selling like hotcakes where we are. Do you know how much money it’s making?

To give away such a good deal to Mr. Anthony... If you’re willing, I’d pay a high price for it. Aren’t you interested in free money?"

Xu Ying shook her head as she looked at Henry, "Doing business is not just about profit, but also about gratitude and friendship. Anthony was willing to help me when I was in trouble, despite the great cost.

I am grateful to him, and that friendship is not something money can buy. The steak recipe is my way of showing my gratitude, and it’s not measurable in terms of money.

No matter how much money he makes with the steak, that’s his own skill, and it has nothing to do with me."

Henry hung his head in disbelief upon hearing this, thinking, how could business involve sentiments like these.

Business is ruthless; if you don’t fight for it, you’ll be trampled.

Anthony cheerfully took out a contract and handed it to Xu Ying, "Xu, this is the steak contract that my assistant drew up. Just take a look and sign it.

I’m very grateful for the steak recipe you gave me; it’s made me a fortune, far exceeding any previous losses.

I can’t just accept your generous gift without giving anything in return, so I’ve decided to give you a 20% share of the profits from my steak sales.

As long as I keep selling the steak, your share of the profits will always be 20%."

Henry was even more astonished as he looked up at the contract in Anthony’s hands, which certainly wasn’t drawn up just now.

It was clear to Anthony that he had prepared this beforehand, and in that moment, Henry doubted his decision even more.

Xu Ying, very happy with the contract Anthony handed her, thought, "To not earn money that comes your way is foolish, especially when it’s practically being handed to you."

She quickly wrote down her name, handed Anthony a copy of the contract and kept one for herself.

Looking at Henry, she said, "The workplace is tough, but friendships do exist. As long as we treat others sincerely, they will treat us the same.

Sometimes being too extreme only attracts more enemies, doesn’t it?"

Just like with Henry’s uncle.

Henry’s eyes were full of doubt. He gave a self-deprecating smile and didn’t pursue the steak recipe anymore.

Instead, he said lightly, "Anthony, I underestimated you in the past.

Perhaps what you say is correct, the value of friendship can’t be measured with money.

I missed an opportunity." After saying this, he turned and left.

Anthony, filled with excitement, said to Xu Ying, "Xu, if you ever need help in the future, make sure you come to me.

I, Anthony, will definitely help you to the best of my ability, as long as you give me a little something in return."

Xu Ying gave him a look and invited him, "Do you want to come to my place for a meal?"

Anthony immediately shook his head, "I still want to travel around your Huaxia, do a bit of touring.

Let’s meet again during the upcoming diplomatic event."

Xu Ying nodded, said goodbye to Anthony, and walked home holding Huo Chen’s hand.

As soon as the pair got home, the two little ones pounced on them: "Mommy!"

"Mommy!" Zhou Zhiyi crawled the fastest. As soon as the door made a noise, the little guy struggled to climb down from the sofa.

Mrs. Xu was frightened by this sight, she hurriedly ran over and picked up the two children.

She looked at the aunt beside her with a smile and said, "Sister Lin, how come my little ones have so much energy?

Others’ kids start crawling at seven or eight months, but look at how small mine are, and they’re already struggling to crawl forward."

Aunt Lin was also very surprised. She had taken care of children in the families she had worked for before and had her own children, so she naturally knew at what age kids would start to crawl.

Although she was surprised, she still said with a smile, "Xu, I won’t lie to you, I’ve taken care of kids at my previous employer’s, and I have my own children.

But none of these kids compare to yours; they aren’t as sturdy and well-fed as your little plump ones."

Without being told, no one would guess that the two children were only three or four months old; claiming they were five or six months wouldn’t be an exaggeration.

Xu Ying had no idea what these two were thinking, but if she knew, she would definitely say that the Strengthening Pills and various Bone Marrow Cleansing Pills she bought at the mall weren’t for nothing.

As soon as Huo Chen entered the door and saw his son and daughter crawling on the ground, he immediately ran over with a smile, picked up one child with each hand, and grumbled, "All you know is to call for mommy, don’t you know to call for daddy? Did you miss daddy?"

"Miss—miss..." Zhou Zhiyi spoke inelegantly.

Huo Zhinan, held by Huo Chen, turned his eyes to Xu Ying, reaching out his arms and animatedly babbling, "Hug, mama, hug."

Xu Ying melted at the sight of the little one stretching out his arms for her. She hurriedly reached out to pick up Huo Zhinan, but just as she did, Zhou Zhiyi also extended his little arms, waving them non-stop.
