When Qi Yanxin returned to the tent, Xu Zhi had already rolled over the ground with his wheelchair, and the small arched gap had disappeared.
"Why are the curtains drawn?"
Qi Yanxin asked casually when he saw that the light in the tent was a little dim. Xu Zhi smiled and said, "I'm a little unaccustomed to the bright light when I first wore glasses."
The fact that Xu Zhi hid the secret from Qi Yanxin did not mean that she doubted Qi Yanxin. On the contrary, Xu Zhi already had a certain degree of trust in Qi Yanxin. But what made her sigh was that hiding the secret from Qi Yanxin was almost a subconscious action on her part.
There was no meaning, nor was it suspicion. She just subconsciously didn't want anyone to know about this. She always remained a little cautious in her heart, leaving herself some room for maneuver, regardless of whether she believed anyone or not.
Although the changes brought about by [Deng] to her are real, they are also limited. In essence, she still only trusts herself.
"Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Hearing Xu Zhi say this, Qi Yanxin subconsciously frowned and moved closer to Xu Zhi. Xu Zhi was already used to women cherishing her and caring about everything. He was even a little used to her being close to him, so he didn't show any resistance and just replied: "I'm not uncomfortable, I'm just a little uncomfortable."
Qi Yanxin nodded after hearing this: "Maybe it will be a little bit at the beginning, but it will be fine after a while. But don't draw the curtains so tightly, it's not good for the eyes if it's too dark."
As she spoke, she opened the curtains a little to let in the light.
Although Xu Zhi's attitude towards her was not particularly intimate or proactive, compared with the previous Xu Zhi, he was already "obedient". Therefore, Xiaoyi, who was hiding in Xu Zhi's sleeves, clearly showed an emotion called "jealousy".
In its eyes, how come its master has such a close relationship with someone after just a short while of not seeing him? The degree of intimacy is far greater than when Xu Zhi first created it!
Xiaoyi rubbed Xu Zhi's wrist with its tail in dissatisfaction. Xu Zhi stretched out his left hand helplessly and tapped its head with his index finger through his sleeve. Only then did it calm down.
What’s going on? Why do we get into the familiar competition for favor as soon as we come back?
Xu Zhi actually had some subtle feelings in her heart. Fortunately, Xiaoyi was the only one around her who had independent consciousness, otherwise she would not know what the situation would be like if a quarrel broke out.
Qi Yanxin is a person who cannot sit still. Even when she is trapped in the military camp, she will take out those mechanical parts from time to time to repair them manually. In this regard, Xu Zhi thinks she is quite amazing, because when Xu Zhi looks at it herself, she only feels that those parts are extremely complicated, and repairing them requires very delicate and meticulous hands-on skills, as well as a lot of patience. Isn't this a special ability?
Around 11 o'clock in the morning, close to lunch time, someone suddenly knocked on the tent door again.
Although they are called tents, the tents here are more like simple wooden houses, but they look more like tents than rooms.
After Qi Yanxin opened the door, the person outside revealed his identity and said he was looking for Xu Zhi.
Since moving in here, Xu Zhi goes out almost every day. Even so, Qi Yanxin is still worried.
The moment she looked up at the person outside the door, Xu Zhi realized that this was another ship coming to find her, because the person was not wearing the uniform of a low-level soldier, but a more exquisite one, with a lotus engraved on his chest.
Xu Zhi gave Qi Yanxin a reassuring look, then asked him to help push the wheelchair out of the tent.
Unlike the person behind the doctor who had a legitimate reason, the person who came this time just took Xu Zhi to a newly built tent.
It seems that the person who came to see her now behaved differently than the previous one.
After entering the tent, before Xu Zhi had time to observe anything else, her attention was first attracted by a string of badges hanging on the wall opposite her. Among them, the one that caught her eye the most was a falcon badge.
The badge was silver-white, and the falcon depicted on it was lifelike. Although it was not a Saker Falcon, at that moment, Xu Zhi seemed to see Xiao Zhen's free and unrestrained figure through the badge.
But the trance was only for a moment. Xu Zhi's gaze paused on the falcon badge for a while and then he looked away. There were dozens of badges hanging on the wall. In addition to the falcon, there was another one that looked quite familiar to Xu Zhi, which was a golden lotus.
When he saw this lotus, Xu Zhi roughly understood what this string of badges was.
When Xu Zhi withdrew his gaze, a hand took down the silver falcon badge from the wall. Xu Zhi looked over and saw a man who looked quite young, about twenty years old.
"It seems that Miss Xu likes the badge of Yicheng very much?"
Sure enough, these badges on the wall should all be city badges.
Xu Zhi shook his head slightly: "I just feel a little familiar."
That's not a lie.
"Familiar?" The man repeated the word, but didn't say much. He simply took the badge and walked over to Xu Zhi: "Then this badge will be a gift to Miss Xu."
He smiled very casually, and there was a strong sense of confidence in his every move. Xu Zhi could tell that he was probably a "big shot" who had lived a good life since childhood.
Xu Zhi hesitated for a moment, but still reached out to take it: "Thank you, thank you for your expense."
The man waved his hand nonchalantly: "I have many badges like this. Dingxing's business is spread across these cities. It's just a badge, it's not worth much."
Besides, he had another purpose in displaying these badges.
When the man turned around, Xu Zhi saw the shining golden scales on the back of his clothes.
"Miss Xu, do you know why I came to you?"
Xu Zhi was a little surprised that the other party actually went straight to the point. This style of behavior was really...
"Probably. Know?" Xu Zhi didn't play dumb.
"As a member of the Dingxing Consortium, I invite Miss Xu to sign a contract with the consortium and become a transcendent of the consortium."
"The contract is for 20 years."
What?!
Xu Zhi's eyes widened slightly, and the mirror chain swayed slightly as she raised her head.
20 years?
***, this isn't how you sign a contract of sale, right?!
"During this period, the consortium will provide a wealth of resources and channels, covering all of your expenses. Starting from the first year, you will receive a base salary of one million per year. Furthermore, the consortium will provide generous rewards for each breakthrough in your extraordinary abilities."
"Of course, the consortium will give you all the extraordinary materials you need to advance. Miss Xu, you're not even 20 yet, right? It's time for you to go to school. The consortium will send you to a prestigious school and provide you with a property and supporting facilities, a car, student status, and so on."
So. So rich!
"Ms. Xu may not know that the Dingxing Consortium possesses vast resources and influence. We also have many experienced and high-level Light-attribute transcendents who can guide you."
"You only need to make a small contribution to the consortium when you become a Consortium Extraordinary, and you can enjoy the convenience brought by such a behemoth."
The man's words were full of temptation and confidence. He was confident that the reward offered by the consortium was enough to attract the low-class girl in front of him. After all, no one could offer a more generous reward than the consortium.
