Xue Nuofu looked at Xiao Feng's expression, puzzled, and said, "That's strange, logically you shouldn't be this calm, right?
Hearing about this, you don't seem to have any sense of schadenfreude, which isn't like your character."
"Schadenfreude?" Xiao Feng said irritably, "Where do I get the face to gloat?
From what you said about this matter, at least two issues were exposed."
This serious expression and solemn tone took Xue Nuofu aback, and he asked, "What issues?"
"First, the issue of confidentiality." Xiao Feng said slowly, "Lessons from the past can guide us in the future. We can laugh at Bai Huanyu, and as opponents, we should laugh.
But we can't just laugh it off, otherwise, who knows when we'll be the ones being laughed at.
When you were in the Demon Suppression Action Team, you should have encountered the confidentiality rules. When you go back, print out a copy and hang it on the wall. If anyone behaves badly, make them copy it. If once isn't enough, make it ten tis!"
After a pause, Xiao Feng continued, "The second issue is that intelligence work needs improvent. This is sothing that happened two days ago, and we only found out now.
This might be due to the Bai Family's gag order, but the fact is, we didn't get the information imdiately.
Old Xue, be more mindful, don't let my money go to waste, okay?"
"..." Xue Nuofu.
He highly suspected that Xiao Feng was secretly laughing inside but was deliberately putting on a cold face to take the opportunity to lecture him.
But there's nothing he could do. Whether Xiao Feng was deliberately keeping a straight face or genuinely serious, at least what he said was flawless.
After scolding Xue Nuofu, Xiao Feng turned and went into the villa.
But Xue Nuofu didn't rush to leave. He deliberately stayed outside the courtyard wall waiting.
Sure enough, it wasn't long before he heard unrestrained laughter from within the courtyard wall…
Needless to say.
The laughter belonged of course to Xiao Feng.
He truly hadn't expected that relying on the Original Heart Pill would yield such an "unexpected reward."
Bai Huanyu wanted to make a profit at his expense, but who would have thought he would end up with a tarnished reputation, like shooting himself in the foot.
However, this incident did serve as a reminder for Xiao Feng.
If the Original Heart Pill is used well, its effects can be substantial…
Of course, this matter should be studied later. The imdiate priority now is to help Iron Wa recover as soon as possible.
...
With the first light of dawn, the sky glowed with myriad colors.
It was a new day again.
Everyone got up, washed up, exercised in the morning, and then waited for breakfast.
The little girl took the family of three small Xiangzhu back to their castle in the corner of the wall, bringing along a basin of feed, and said, "Eat quickly, we haven't even eaten yet, but you get to eat first."
After breakfast, Qingyue, Lu Yao, and others went to Fenghua Xueyue.
Almost right after, Jia Luo showed up.
She was wearing a light blue trench coat, a scarf around her neck, and light makeup, looking at least five years younger than last night.
"Mr. Xiao, my consultation fee isn't low." Jia Luo said with a smile, "It starts at 500 yuan, and the charge is 200 per hour.
If it's under 500, it's still charged as 500, and anything over 500 is calculated separately."
"Okay." Xiao Feng nodded in agreent.
In fact, he suspected that psychological consultation might not be her primary source of inco.
After all, 200 an hour, even if you work 24 hours a day, that's only 4,800.
A full year, 365 days, totals 1,752,000.
But as Zhao Guo'an said last night, over the past five years, Jia Luo has spent more than ten million just on gifts for his parents.
Moreover, Jia Luo's office doesn't even look that luxurious.
Could it be that she's impoverished herself sending gifts to Zhao Guo'an's family?
While thinking about it, Xue Nuofu stepped forward and asked, "Did you have breakfast before coming?"
Jia Luo shook her head, indicating she hadn't.
"Hold on!"
Saying this, Xue Nuofu turned back to the villa, and ca back with a thermal container, saying, "I saved a portion of breakfast for you, eat that first before handling business."
With those words, everyone present had a peculiar expression on their faces.
In their impression, this second boss, Xue Nuofu, rarely showed such consideration.
Jia Luo accepted the thermal container with a smile, "Then I won't be polite."
With that, she walked towards the dining table not far away.
Just as Xue Nuofu was about to follow, Xiao Feng stopped him, and the onlookers gathered around.
"What are you guys trying to do?" Xue Nuofu scanned the crowd warily.
Xiao Feng wasn't into gossip, but he said, "Her consultation fee today, you cover it."
"Why?" Xue Nuofu frowned and asked.
"The reason is simple, I brought her in to solve problems, not to sit there eating. Eating my food and taking my money, do you think that's appropriate?"
Xue Nuofu nodded in agreent, "Fine, I'll cover the consultation fee."
At this point, Lao Ha mischievously said, "Second boss, be honest, do you have a soft spot for that lady?
If so, we'll help you out, strength in numbers."
"No need!" Xue Nuofu coolly replied, pushing past the people in his way.
Lao Ha and the others started debating whether Xue Nuofu's "no need" was a roundabout admission that he did fancy the psychologist.
Jia Luo ate slowly, savoring every bite, without making it seem like she was deliberately wasting ti.
After finishing her al, Xue Nuofu handed over a napkin.
"Thanks!" Jia Luo accepted and wiped her mouth, tossing the napkin into the trash. "Hand the form so I can take a look."
Lao Ha handed the filled form to Xue Nuofu, who then passed it to Jia Luo.
After reading it carefully, Jia Luo smiled and said, "Not bad, very detailed, this gives more confidence.
Where is this Tie Wa now, let talk to him."
"Inside, I'll take you there." Xue Nuofu offered.
Jia Luo shook her head, "No need, I can go by myself."
With that, she walked towards the villa but stopped after a couple of steps to add, "By the way, just to emphasize, during my conversation with Tie Wa, no matter what happens, don't intervene, and please don't co in to interrupt."
Seeing Xiao Feng nod in agreent, he turned to Lao Ha and the others, "Don't just stand around, get to work. I'll handle things here."
Lao Ha pointed to his foot, making a face, "Boss, look at my situation…"
Before he could finish, Aspergillus oryzae forcefully dragged him away, scolding, "You don't need your foot to work, if you want to slack off, just say so."
Once everyone had left, only Xiao Feng and Xue Nuofu remained in the courtyard.
"Do you think... what Jia Luo said before going in ans anything?" Xue Nuofu couldn't help but ask, "Could she already know there's so danger coming?"
"You're asking ? Who am I supposed to ask?" Xiao Feng shrugged, "Just wait and see. Don't get anxious, anxiety solves nothing."
