“Mr. Hans, if you have any requests, don’t beat around the bush.” Lao Liu raised his head slightly and looked at Hans. “As long as you can complete our master’s request, he won’t treat you badly.”
Hans retracted his expression and whispered, “If I send these people over, they will definitely complete the mission perfectly, but the remuneration will not be the same as before.”
Without waiting for the two of them to speak, Hans continued, “I’m not raising the price on the spot, but if we want to ensure that nothing goes wrong, it has to be them. I can promise Sir that nothing will go wrong!”
Lao Liu and Xiao Qi looked at Hans suspiciously for a few seconds to determine if he was lying.
However, on second thought, they felt he did not dare to lie to their master.
!!“Mr. Hans, why don’t you name your price?” Lao Liu said.
Without hesitation, Hans extended five fingers. “Fifty million US dollars!”
“Double the price?” Xiao Qi immediately stomped her feet and scolded Hans in her heart for going crazy over money.
Hans acted as if he did not see her and said calmly, “That’s right. The price is more than double as compared to before, but believe me, if you hire these people, it will be worth it. I won’t disappoint you!”
Seeing how confident Hans was, Lao Liu couldn’t help but weigh the pros and cons. Then, he stood up and said, “I’ll call Master.”
Hans made a gesture of dismissal.
Lao Liu walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and made a call. He conveyed the conversation to the person on the other end of the phone in detail. In the end, he nodded and hung up.
Returning to the sofa and sitting down, Hans looked at Lao Liu questioningly. Xiao Liu nodded and said, “Master said that as long as we can complete the mission, money is not a problem.”
Only then did Hans smile. “Please ask Sir to wait for the good news.”
…
w.a.n.g Zimeng already knew that Jiang Chunfen and Qiao Yuan were dating. She accepted it calmly and even gave her blessings, but she was smart enough not to tell w.a.n.g Zichen about this.
Her brother was undergoing the torture of her father’s second marriage. She did not want to throw another bomb at him now.
It was the weekend, and it was also the day Jiang Chunfen agreed to let Qiao Yuan meet Zimeng.
However, this time, they did not meet outside but at home.
“Mom, why isn’t Uncle Qiao here yet?”
Not only was w.a.n.g Zimeng not nervous, but she was filled with antic.i.p.ation. Her mother had praised her lover too well, so she was very curious.
“He said he would be here at four in the afternoon. Isn’t it not time yet?” Jiang Chunfen looked at her daughter in amus.e.m.e.nt. “Don’t worry, your Uncle Qiao won’t be late. He has a strong sense of time.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the doorbell rang.
“He’s here!” Jiang Chunfen said and quickly walked over to open the door. Seeing this, w.a.n.g Zimeng followed.
The door opened, and Qiao Yuan was standing at the door in casual clothes. He was holding bags of groceries because he was going to cook personally tonight and perform well in front of w.a.n.g Zimeng!
“I’m not late, right?” Qiao Yuan had a stiff smile on his face. He was so nervous that his heart was in his throat.
“Zimeng, call Uncle Qiao!” Jiang Chunfen quickly called for w.a.n.g Zimeng.
w.a.n.g Zimeng was not afraid. She looked at Qiao Yuan and smiled warmly. “h.e.l.lo, Uncle Qiao. Welcome!”
“h.e.l.lo, Zimeng!” Qiao Yuan smiled in response. As he spoke, Jiang Chunfen let him into the house.
w.a.n.g Zimeng pulled Jiang Chunfen’s sleeve calmly from behind and couldn’t hide her excitement. She lowered her voice and said, “Mom, Uncle Qiao is so young!”
Jiang Chunfen blinked. “Right?”
w.a.n.g Zimeng nodded without hesitation. “And he’s more handsome than I thought!”
Seeing her daughter’s reaction, Jiang Chunfen knew that she had a good first impression of Qiao Yuan.
Qiao Yuan carried his things into the living room and gently placed a bag in his right hand on the sofa. “Zimeng, Uncle Qiao bought you a gift. I hope you like it.”
Seeing this, Jiang Chunfen couldn’t help but go forward and look at the ingredients in Qiao Yuan’s hand. “Why don’t I cook?”
“No need. Accompany Zimeng. I’ll cook today,” Qiao Yuan pretended to say naturally, but he couldn’t help but feel nervous.
He did not know why he was so nervous. After all, he had seen all kinds of storms.
Perhaps because he cared too much about Jiang Chunfen and wanted to leave a good impression in front of w.a.n.g Zimeng, Qiao Yuan was at a loss.
Jiang Chunfen knew that Qiao Yuan wanted to show off, so she decided to give him this chance. She nodded. “Alright, call me if there’s anything you need or don’t know how to use in the kitchen.”
Qiao Yuan nodded and ran into the kitchen with his things.
Jiang Chunfen and her daughter looked at Qiao Yuan’s back and couldn’t help but smile.
“He’s cooking for the first time today after taking lessons. I can’t guarantee if it’s delicious,” Jiang Chunfen sat down on the sofa and said to w.a.n.g Zimeng.
w.a.n.g Zimeng felt that this Uncle Qiao was really interesting. He actually learnt how to cook. They might as well eat outside so it’s easier.
However, from this, it could be seen how much importance Uncle Qiao placed on this meeting. It was basically equivalent to specially preparing talent.
However, this talent did not seem to be particularly successful.
Because twenty minutes later, smoke started creeping out of the kitchen door.
w.a.n.g Zimeng was facing the kitchen door. When she saw the white smoke floating out, she couldn’t help but call out to Jiang Chunfen, “Mom, quickly help Uncle Qiao. Is he cooking inside? Or refining pills inside? Why is there so much smoke?”
Jiang Chunfen turned around and saw that the transparent gla.s.s door in the kitchen was filled with smoke. She could not see Qiao Yuan’s body.
Jiang Chunfen thought there was a fire. She was so frightened that she quickly stood up and rushed over. As soon as she opened the door, the white heat instantly a.s.saulted her face. Jiang Chunfen was slightly stunned. She realized that this white heat was not smoke, but steam!
“Why didn’t you turn on the exhaust hood? It’s so white. What can you see?” Jiang Chunfen walked into the kitchen, angry and amused. When the steam dissipated, she saw Qiao Yuan cutting meat on the chopping board.
Without looking up, he said, “It’s fine. I can see.”
Jiang Chunfen shook her head helplessly and walked forward to turn on the exhaust hood. Then, she leaned towards Qiao Yuan and said, “Let me help you. This will be faster.”
“Chunfen, why am I so nervous?” Qiao Yuan looked up at Jiang Chunfen seriously and said.
Jiang Chunfen smiled and said, “Ever since I told you I would take you to see Zimeng this weekend, you said that you were nervous. How many days has it been? Haven’t you gotten over your nervousness? She’s just a child. I don’t know why you’re nervous.”
