Chapter 247: You’ll pay me hush money?
The black off-road vehicle slowly drove out of the manor and drove slowly on the winding mountain road.
An early summer afternoon.
The sun shines through the car window, making people dizzy.
So much so that Zhou Yichuan felt a little unclear even after walking a long way.
He felt like he had discovered something.
But this discovery was completely unbelievable to him.
After all, it's beyond normal cognition.
A thing that doesn't exist in real life——
Small space?
That should be the place where she trades with the alien spacetime, right?
When he discovered the special situation in the yard, he was far from as calm as he appeared, but there were too many people around at the time and he couldn't show it.
The first reaction in my mind was that I must not let other people know.
Based on this, he felt particularly unhappy when he found out that Jiang Zixing actually knew about it and was wary of him.
Fortunately, he discovered it at the last minute and took the initiative to help cover it up, which made him feel a little more balanced.
After thinking about it, he parked the car on the side of the road and sent another message to Chen Jinyue.
Zhou Yichuan, "I take back what I said. Your bodyguard has some sense. Either fire him or give him a raise."
…
It was already late at night when Chen Jinyue saw the message.
She slept until eleven o'clock in the evening.
Feeling refreshed.
The fatigue from the afternoon was swept away, and my consciousness was particularly sharp at this moment.
She was aware of everything around her, and everything was quiet.
Jiang Zixing, who was praised for having some brains, was sitting in the yard at this moment, as if he had merged into one with the night.
If it were normal, she probably wouldn't notice him...
She got up and went out without turning on the lights, but walked out of the yard in the moonlight.
Jiang Zixing first turned on the flashlight on his phone to let her know his location, then walked over slowly, "Are we going back?"
Chen Jinyue nodded and said, "Go back. Go to the car and wait for me. I'll lock the door."
Jiang Zixing didn't waste any time this time and walked out quickly.
Chen Jinyue fell behind by two steps, contracted the space, and then slowly followed out of the bamboo forest.
The car drove slowly on the mountain road.
Due to the development of Xiaozhu Village, this road has been widened a lot and street lights have been added. It is much safer than ordinary country roads.
Chen Jinyue sat in the back seat, looking at the changes around her and thinking about Zhou Yichuan's suggestion just now. She suddenly spoke.
"We've been working together for almost a year, right? I'll give you a raise next month."
“…”
Jiang Zixing's hand holding the steering wheel paused for a moment.
He had actually been thinking about this problem outside the yard in the afternoon.
Today he seemed to have discovered a bigger secret, even bigger than the mysterious appearance of the sky-high priced bed last time.
He actually prepared for the worst...
But fortunately, she chose to pay the "hush money".
He glanced at the rearview mirror, pursed his lips, and carefully considered his words. "Maintaining confidentiality for our employer is our basic professional ethics. Besides, your development of Xiaozhu Village is very important to me, more important than a pay raise."
He tactfully expressed that he would keep his mouth shut even without a raise, but he didn't refuse either.
After all, adding an employer will make you feel more at ease.
Chen Jinyue understood, then thought for a moment, "This way, we know each other well. If nothing goes wrong, we'll have a long-term partnership. Do you want to develop a side business?"
Jiang Zixing glanced at the rearview mirror in confusion, "???"
"You must be working as a private bodyguard because you're short of money due to family problems, right? What do you want to do in the future? Would you consider doing business with me?"
“…”
Jiang Zixing understood what she meant.
She was giving him the opportunity to become one of her own.
There are two ways to keep a secret: either pay someone to keep quiet or tie them down with benefits.
With common interests, it won't be exposed...
His boss's ability is obvious to all. It is difficult for outsiders to make friends with him even if they use all their connections. He was just lucky to meet him, so of course he couldn't refuse.
He immediately agreed, "I don't have a specific idea, but I can try wherever you need help."
After a pause, he said, "But my investment is limited and I don't have much savings at the moment. Can I get an advance on my salary?"
Chen Jinyue smiled and said, "No need. I'll give you shares as this year's year-end dividend. I'll discuss with Mr. Zhou and give you shares in the timber business."
“!!!”
Jiang Zixing knew that she had expanded her timber business and that the materials were all good.
With the support from above, the profits are also very high.
He hadn't expected that she would directly share such a high profit with him.
"If there's no clear job I need to do, why not change it?" He felt embarrassed to take the profit for nothing.
Chen Jinyue replied, "Yes."
The wood will probably have to be transported out of the yard in the future, and there may be other things that need his attention later.
Of course she had considered it.
After hearing what she said, Jiang Zixing happily accepted it...
After discussing this, Chen Jinyue checked his account again and saw that Deputy Director Guo’s transfer had already arrived, which was comparable to the price of the endangered plants.
The government has indeed invested a lot in protecting biodiversity.
She made a quick calculation and gave Zhou Yichuan a 50-50 split.
He's probably free over there right now, so he replied to messages quickly.
Calm a question mark, [? ]
Chen Jinyue, [I'll give you half of the hard work fee from Deputy Director Guo.]
Zhou Yichuan, [He is quite generous.]
Zhou Yichuan, [I said, no, they prepared the tools. I just conveyed their request.]
He'd told her to talk to him because he was afraid she'd end up doing the same thing as when she was looking for endangered plants, and end up doing the research herself. There were obviously people more willing to offer technical support, so why not use it?
Chen Jinyue knew he would refuse, and immediately thought, "Just think of it as hush money."
Zhou Yichuan was so angry that he laughed when he heard this. [You're giving me hush money?]
Chen Jinyue, [Didn't you teach me this?]
Zhou Yichuan, [……]
He reminded her to deal with Jiang Zixing in the afternoon, so she would come to deal with him in the evening, right?
You really know how to draw inferences from one instance!
Zhou Yichuan, [You want to silence me with this little money?]
Chen Jinyue, [Let's put yours aside for now and talk about my bodyguard first...]
The other party was a partner, and Jiang Zixing was offered shares in the timber business. She knew he had no reason to refuse, but she still needed to say it.
Unexpectedly, after she typed a long string of messages, the other party only replied with one sentence.
Zhou Yichuan, [Why should I let it go? I won’t let it go. Let me talk about mine first!]
Chen Jinyue, [……]
As she was considering her words, her phone screen lit up, displaying Zhou Yichuan's name.
She unconsciously curled the corners of her lips and picked up the phone.
"Hello?"
"You put so much thought into other people's affairs, but when it comes to me, you just coldly transfer money?" The cold voice in the receiver was filled with obvious dissatisfaction.
The carriage was quiet.
The man's voice was particularly clear at this moment.
It's like accusing a heartless woman.
Chen Jinyue glanced at Jiang Zixing who was driving in front of him, and felt a little numb.
She opened the car window to let the wind in, making the atmosphere less awkward. "Sending money to me takes a lot of thought!"
Eight digits!
Zhou Yichuan said calmly, "Not with me."
Chen Jinyue asked patiently, "Then how do you want to spend it?"
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone. "However I wish to spend it?"
