Sitting in the taxi heading to Jinyue Garden, Xiao Feng occasionally turned to look at Tie Niu beside him, wondering if bringing such a "glutton" ho was a mistake.
With the way he eats, just one year's food expenses would be substantial.
But considering the potential value he might bring, Xiao Feng couldn't help but sigh inwardly. If you want returns, there's no reason not to invest first—you at least have to let people eat their fill.
Back at his villa, Xiao Feng found only Lu Yao at ho; the little girl followed Du Qingyue and Jiang Yixin to the shop to help out and wouldn't return until evening.
Xiao Feng sent a ssage to Xue Nuofu, asking him to call everyone over to introduce Tie Niu.
Xue Nuofu nodded at Tie Niu as a greeting before pulling Xiao Feng aside for a private chat.
"That's Xiao Feng's girlfriend, right?" Tie Niu looked at Xue Nuofu's back and couldn't help but exclaim, "So beautiful!"
Old Ha patted his shoulder: "Kid, that's our second boss; actually... he's a man."
"A man?" Tie Niu's face was full of disbelief: "Don't lie to , looking so attractive, how could he be a man."
"Who told you a man can't look good?"
"Anyway, I don't believe it!"
Hui Yi folded his hands: "Amitabha, benefactor, one cannot only see the surface of things.
The so-called 'one leaf obscures the view' prevents seeing the mountain; we have just t, what reason do we have to deceive you?"
With Hui Yi's words, everyone began to enthusiastically explain the relationship hierarchy while probing Tie Niu for information to understand what Xiao Feng valued in him.
Not far away, Xue Nuofu said solemnly, "You're back just in ti, I have sothing to discuss with you."
"Then go ahead, anything besides asking for money is fine," Xiao Feng shrugged.
Xue Nuofu took a deep breath and said in a serious tone: "You guessed it right, I'm here to ask for money."
"How much?" Xiao Feng looked displeased.
"Ten million!"
"Old Xue, surely you can't be so broke you can't produce a thousand?" Xiao Feng said with contempt: "You dare to ask for this little bit?
Alright, alright, isn't it just a thousand bucks?
I'll transfer it to you right now, your paynt code..."
"Wait a minute!" Xue Nuofu interrupted: "You might have missed a zero."
Xiao Feng furrowed his brows tightly: "Ten... million?"
"Yes." Xue Nuofu nodded emphatically.
"Ha ha." Xiao Feng laughed dryly: "You think I'm worth ten million?"
Xue Nuofu frowned slightly, his deanor serious: "I have no intention of joking with you. To get things done, you need people, and using people requires money.
Moreover, the harder the task, the more money it requires.
In fact, assembling our current team with just this amount is already a miracle, in my opinion."
Xiao Feng was silent for a while before responding: "You're not wrong, whether it's Old Ha and Aspergillus oryzae who ca first, or Lv Ziming who joined later, one can't say they ca for money.
They all have their own concerns; gathering here is to seek my protection for a more peaceful life.
As for Hui Yi and the others, that's a special case that can't be assessed with ordinary logic.
But if you think about it carefully, you'll realize you usually can't recruit experts of this level just with money.
If relying solely on money, it would be an unimaginably large sum."
"So?" Xue Nuofu said expressionlessly: "You're trying to tell money isn't important, right?"
"You get !" Xiao Feng gave a look of approval.
Xue Nuofu let out a long sigh and said: "I don't deny that so far, high-level strength wasn't attracted with money, but the ones below still have to eat.
I don't want to say more, you're clearer than anyone; whether to give the money or not is up to you."
Finishing his words, he turned to walk away.
Xiao Feng quickly stopped him: "Wait, wait, wait, Old Xue, you're quite temperantal now, wanting to leave in less than three sentences.
Isn't it just ten million?
I'll give it to you!"
Xue Nuofu rolled his eyes and handed over a list: "This is the current personnel, each of their monthly wages is written on it, check it carefully, and don't accuse of embezzling public funds later."
"No need for that, I trust you!" Xiao Feng patted Xue Nuofu's shoulder: "You can't keep an army without a purpose; keep this in mind."
"I naturally have it in mind." Xue Nuofu nodded.
"That's good!" Xiao Feng smiled and transferred the ten million over.
Watching Xue Nuofu leave with satisfaction, Xiao Feng felt a sharp pain in his heart.
Ten million!
With just a few clicks on the screen, it disappeared from the account.
Heartache!
Pain to the point of being unable to breathe!
This feeling hadn't been experienced in a long ti.
But even when experienced again, it remained as uncomfortable as ever.
...
In the evening, after Du Qingyue and others returned, everyone sat outside, holding a feast to welco Tie Niu.
Glasses clinked and exchanged.
Old Ha jeered: "Tie Niu, do you have any tricks to show everyone?"
"I don't really have any tricks." Tie Niu said shyly, looking uncomfortable as if unfamiliar with such an occasion.
Aspergillus oryzae promptly chid in: "No problem, anything you can do that we can't, put it on display.
Take for example, see this fan?
It's ordinary, not anything eye-catching, right?"
"Right!" Tie Niu nodded.
Aspergillus oryzae grinned mischievously: "But, once I open it and fan it lightly..."
"Stop, stop, don't wave it around in front of ." Old Ha said warily.
Hui Shiba sat next to Tie Niu, smiled, and said: "We're about the sa age, no need to be so polite; think of it as being at ho. If you have any special skills, show us and broaden our horizons."
Unable to resist the persuasion, Tie Niu stood up: "I don't have any other skills, except I've been stronger than most people since I was a kid. Is there anything heavy?"
"Sothing heavy?"
Everyone looked around but couldn't find anything particularly heavy.
"How about the car at the entrance?" Zhao Guo'an suggested.
Tie Niu responded: "How heavy is a car?"
"At least one-ton, maybe three to four thousand pounds."
"Hmm... I'll try, just don't laugh if I can't lift it."
At those words, you could hear a pin drop.
Did he just say "lift"?
Everyone beca intrigued and headed towards the entrance with Tie Niu.
Xiao Feng naturally followed, but after walking two steps, Xue Nuofu pulled him aside: "There's sothing I need to discuss."
"Don't tell it's about money again."
"Although I'd love to say it isn't, there's no way around it, short of money is just short of money." Xue Nuofu said helplessly.
Xiao Feng's face turned sour: "How much?"
"Fifty million."
"You just took ten million in the morning, now asking for fifty million, you think I'm a cash machine?"
"Can't help it, you're the boss, who else can I ask?"
Xiao Feng said expressionlessly: "Co on, tell what you plan to do with fifty million?"
