After listening to Xiao Feng explain the causes and consequences, as well as his analysis and deductions, Song Keren felt much more confident about clearing her "misunderstanding."
Thinking of those people who called her these days, saying seemingly warm but actually aningless words.
Then thinking about Xiao Feng, who had only contacted her once since her troubles, Song Keren felt a wave of warmth rise in her heart.
Perhaps this is the difference between those who like you and the ones who love you; the forr only say they like you, while the latter show it through their actions, right?
Wait a minute!
Song Keren realized her thoughts had taken a wrong turn, hurriedly stopped herself from overthinking, and softly said, "Thank you."
"We're practically family, saying thanks makes it seem so formal..."
"Hold on!" Song Keren interrupted, asking: "Since when did we beco family?"
"I already explained this to you long ago, didn't I?" Xiao Feng laughed: "You should call Di Xuedong uncle, right?
And I call Di Xuedong brother.
So logically, you should call uncle.
Don't you think so, dear niece?"
Song Keren clenched her fists angrily and said, "Can you stop always calling niece, niece? If I really call you uncle, would you dare to respond?"
"Of course, our relationship is clear-cut, what's there to be afraid of?"
Song Keren's eyes flickered, as if she'd thought of sothing, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Uncle."
Judging by her posture, she seed quite resolute, but the volu of the two words she uttered was about as soft as a mosquito buzzing near one's ear.
However, Xiao Feng's ears were exceptionally sharp at that mont, and he replied in a comforting tone, "Ah, my dear niece finally learned so manners."
"You!"
Song Keren's eyes reddened slightly, and she hung up the phone.
In those idle days at ho, she had also been keeping track of Xiao Feng's activities.
The opening ceremony that alard most of Jiangcheng's wealthy elite and several powerful out-of-town moguls naturally didn't escape her attention.
When she saw Xiao Feng and Du Qingyue walk hand in hand onto the stage on the screen, her heart ached as if soone had carved out a chunk of flesh.
It was precisely from that mont that she decided to keep her distance from Xiao Feng, only to be surprised when he reached out to call her.
Just now, she considered that Xiao Feng repeatedly emphasized the "uncle-niece relationship," perhaps because he wanted to use this title to reposition their relationship.
So, she went along and asked, "I dare to call, do you dare to answer?"
Until Xiao Feng truly agreed, she couldn't control her emotions any longer.
It turns out the heart really does ache...
This was a realization she ca to after knowing Xiao Feng.
...
Before evening, Di Junxiong ca over with Ji Liangcai.
"The task of capturing Yu Xiuzhi went relatively smoothly; she's been brought back now, and we'll see if she's willing to talk." Di Junxiong said.
Xiao Feng fiddled with his phone while confidently smiling: "If the interrogation doesn't go smoothly, then let Sister Wang handle it."
At this mont, Ji Liangcai stood up and said: "Brother Xiao, I've completed my task as well, what do you think..."
Before finishing his sentence, his phone chid.
Ji Liangcai looked at his phone and saw it was a notification of funds being credited.
Looking at the amount, he instantly beca excited and said, "Brother Xiao, you always get things done properly!"
When Xiao Feng gave Ji Liangcai the task of finding Yu Xiuzhi, he only provided him with a partial down paynt, and the recently transferred money was the final paynt.
"What are your plans next?" Xiao Feng asked.
Ji Liangcai scratched his head and said, "I haven't thought about it yet, but if Brother Xiao doesn't mind, I could help you out with so tasks."
"Stop calling him Brother Xiao so affectionately!" Di Junxiong chided: "How could my master need a second-rate person like you?"
He truly disliked Ji Liangcai's deanor, instantly becoming friendly with everyone he ets.
Such people are great at boasting and rambling, but when it cos to doing actual work, they seem unreliable.
The most important thing is, he calls him master, while Ji Liangcai calls him Brother Xiao, isn't this blatantly taking advantage of ?
However, Xiao Feng said: "Alright, you can stay for now. I'll cover your als and accommodation, and I'll assign you tasks when needed. Rewards will be calculated based on the difficulty."
If Hui Yi and the others heard this, they might not be able to hold back tears.
We've been with you all this ti earning only a basic salary, so why does a newcor get free als and lodging and pay according to task difficulty?
Little did they know, Xiao Feng didn't want to set such terms, but each case is unique and cannot be generalized.
Hui Yi and the others are there because of a token from the old Abbot; Lao Ha and Aspergillus oryzae are indebted, coupled with voluntarily joining, so their conditions aren't going to be great.
Lone Wolf and Lv Ziming need no ntion since they simply aren't there for the money.
Tiewa, although earning a million annual salary, doesn't seem much because Hui Yi and the others' monthly salaries combined multiplied by twelve exceed a million.
Counting it up like this, Xiao Feng realized his expenses were quite significant.
Hmm!
Still need to earn more money!
Faced with the conditions Xiao Feng offered, Ji Liangcai agreed without hesitation: "Brother Xiao, I'll definitely do my best to help you!"
Xiao Feng nodded and said, "After leaving, go to the villa in front of you and tell them I said so, they'll arrange accommodation for you."
"Got it!" Ji Liangcai promised and left after standing up.
Once he was out the door, Di Junxiong couldn't help but ask: "Master, when we caught people, didn't you see what a second-rate character he is?
What exactly attracts you to this kind of person?"
Xiao Feng smiled and said, "There's a saying, the earth doesn't grow naless grass, the sky doesn't create useless people.
Ji Liangcai likes to bluff, speaking one way to people and another way to ghosts, that's a fact.
But being able to bring this trait to the extre is also considered a skill."
"But what kind of skill is that?" Di Junxiong protested: "I suggest you get rid of him sooner rather than later..."
Before finishing his words, Xiao Feng frowned and interrupted: "Are you teaching how to do my work?"
Di Junxiong hurriedly said he didn't dare, and refrained from comnting further on the matter.
The so-called hitting with a stick then giving a sweet date.
After reprimanding Di Junxiong, Xiao Feng's frown gradually relaxed, and he said: "Now practice the moves I taught you, let see how well you've mastered them."
Di Junxiong stood up obediently and began practicing right away.
He focused intently, determined to refresh his master's impression of him.
"Hee-ha!"
Di Junxiong yelled as he stomped on the floor.
"Bang!"
Then... the tiles cracked visibly.
For a mont, Di Junxiong was dumbfounded; what kind of quality was this?
Xiao Feng's face darkened and said, "Alright, I can already see your proficiency."
"Master, I'll go buy a new tile then."
Before Xiao Feng could get angry, Di Junxiong skillfully found an excuse and made his escape.
