Chapter 166 A Boss with a Conscience

After the two went into a quieter, less crowded snack shop, Yan Qing's condition improved a bit. She apologized to Qiao Mei, saying she had caused her trouble.

"It's no trouble at all. I just helped you up. But given your health, are there any dietary restrictions when you want to eat snacks later?"

She couldn't quite tell what illness Yan Qing had, but based on her experience, patients with illnesses usually had certain dietary restrictions.

Yan Qing nodded: "Yes, I can't eat anything cold, or anything too spicy, and I can't eat anything too sweet either."

In summary, she can only eat foods with a mild flavor.

"Okay, I'll let the waiter know in a bit."

After asking Yan Qing, Qiao Mei handed the menu to Ao Cang and asked him what he wanted to eat.

"If you don't have anything you want to eat, we can just eat the same thing and order one serving. Anyway, you don't have a big appetite, and a dragon's belly is only so big."

When it comes to food, Ao Cang has always had a hard time making choices, so he directly followed Qiao Mei's advice.

Yan Qing sat opposite the man and the dragon, watching their natural interaction. After thinking for a moment, she released her fire-type Vermilion Bird.

The little red bird was also wearing a mini dress, which looked very cute.

When Qiao Mei saw it, her attention was almost instantly drawn to it.

After her red eyes lit up, she asked Yan Qing what its name was.

"Yaoyao, if you want to touch its feathers, go ahead. Yaoyao really likes pretty people."

Sure enough, as soon as Yan Qing finished speaking, Yao Yao took the initiative to move closer to Qiao Mei and put her head in the palm of her hand.

As Ao Cang watched this scene, whether intentionally or unintentionally, the dragon's tail drooped down at that moment, swaying back and forth, right in the palm of Qiao Mei's right hand.

This made it difficult for Yao Yao to get close.

Qiao Mei was a little helpless. After grabbing its dragon tail, she resisted the urge to touch Yao Yao's smooth bird feathers and just used the back of her right index finger to scratch its head.

As for anything more, she dared not do it, lest her little black dragon become possessive and extremely jealous.

Yan Qing was a little surprised that Qiao Mei was so easily manipulated by Ao Cang, but since she wasn't her familiar beast after all, she didn't say much.

After Yaoyao returned somewhat dejectedly, they got down to business.

"I've already brought the materials for making the mecha in compressed capsules. There are many kinds. Take a look and tell me what type of mecha you want to make. I can give you some suggestions."

Yan Qing compiled a list of the materials used in the mecha, detailing their appearance and properties.

Qiao Mei received the electronic watch from Yan Qing and told her that she planned to build a control-type mecha.

"Control type?" Yan Qing was surprised because when she watched Qiao Mei's performance in the interstellar mech competition, she had made good use of the advantages of the attack type mech. In this case, choosing the attack type mech would obviously be better.

Seeing her confusion, Qiao Mei didn't explain the specific reasons to her, but simply said that she wanted to try more things.

"Sure, since you're good at offensive mechs, you probably won't be too bad at control mechs either."

After speaking, Yan Qing listed and explained some of the control-related materials she knew, and recommended a lot of materials to Qiao Mei.

Qiao Mei had some knowledge of the materials used in mechs when she followed Xu Wenfeng in disassembling and assembling them.

It can be seen that most of the materials Yan Qing brought are of grade B or higher, while the worst mecha material is grade C, but there is still a big difference between grade C and grade B.

In terms of monetary value alone, the lowest price for a C-grade material is 10,000 interstellar coins or more, while the price for a B-grade material is ten times higher, starting at 100,000 interstellar coins or more.

The A and S above need no further explanation.

After careful selection, there were a total of seventeen pieces of materials, large and small, which would cost 1.7 million interstellar coins, a considerable sum.

So she asked Yan Qing if it wasn't right for her not to contribute any money at all.

Yan Qing was amused by her. Although she was only a year older than her, the way she looked at her now had a kind of amused and exasperated feeling, like an older person looking at a younger person.

"Rose, have you forgotten that the mecha we produce later will need to be mass-produced and used to advertise my company? I'll be giving you a significant share of the advertising revenue alone. Don't forget about this mere 1.7 million; consider this your payment for manufacturing the mecha. When it's mass-produced and sold later, you'll get a substantial cut."

In her previous life, Qiao Mei was just an ordinary office worker. The large company she worked for exploited her severely. Although it was her original work, she had no right to dispose of it and did not receive a single penny of the profits.

The main reason she didn't leave was that she could learn a lot of skills there, and she considered it tuition.

She's still a little unaccustomed to suddenly encountering such a conscientious "boss" as Yan Qing.

After a moment of stunned silence, her ears turned slightly red, and she hummed in response.

Yan Qingman was surprised to see Qiao Mei looking so embarrassed. She rested her right hand, which had a rose-shaped manicure, on her right cheek and stared at Qiao Mei's beautiful face for a while. Then she turned on her personal computer bracelet and secretly took a few pictures of Qiao Mei while she continued to look at the materials list.

Qiao Mei was focused on the list and didn't notice Yan Qing's subtle movements, but Ao Cang was different.

He didn't know why, but from the first moment he saw Yan Qing, he felt that there was something wrong with the way Yan Qing looked at Qiao Mei, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.

Upon noticing that she seemed to be secretly filming Qiao Mei, the dragon's body wrapped around Qiao Mei's neck moved, its enormous head obscuring most of Qiao Mei's face, its eyes fixed on Yan Qing opposite it with hostility.

Yan Qing: "......."

Was she overthinking it? Why did she feel that Qiao Mei's familiar beast was very hostile towards her?

At this point, Qiao Mei confirmed the materials she needed and then turned off the computer.

Then, she saw a huge dragon head blocking her view, which startled her.

"Cangcang, what are you doing?" The girl tilted her head and looked at Ao Cang.

Ao Cang retrieved the dragon's head, but ultimately did not reveal that Yan Qing had secretly filmed her.

After all, they are all girls, so it's not surprising.

"Nothing much, I just wanted to stretch my neck."

Qiao Mei didn't think much of it and nodded. The dishes she ordered were served one after another.

When they were having lunch, they asked Yan Qing if she had any other plans.

"I don't have anything planned for today. Would you like to go shopping?"

Yan Qing seemed to have been waiting for her to say this. After shaking her head, she replied, "I don't really want to go shopping, but I have something I'd like to ask you for help with. I don't know if it's convenient for you."

Ao Cang: Be confident! Get rid of your feelings!! (Huffing and puffing)
