"……become!"
Jinling gritted her teeth and agreed.
After signing and affixing their fingerprints, both parties inexplicably felt a sense of relief.
"Here you go, this is the first month's 5 billion Nogold coins."
Xiao He retrieved the card prepared by Yang Xing from the squad's warehouse and handed it to Jin Ling. He also put the newly stamped contract into the warehouse so that Yang Xing could take a look at it.
"I'm sorry, I misunderstood you before." Jinling gave Xiao He a noble bow to express her gratitude.
"That's really not necessary. I should be thanking you instead," Xiao He replied.
Seeing how harmonious the transaction was going, Jia Bo took a sip of wine, feeling utterly lost and dejected.
Having received the money, Jinling already had a plan in mind. She hurriedly said goodbye to Xiao He, "You two talk, I have some urgent business to attend to, I'll be going now."
Although she said "you all," she didn't even glance at Jia Bo, as if she were talking to thin air.
"Take care, see you next time!" Xiao He waved politely.
Only Jia Bo remained unmoved, picking up his knife and fork as if he had reverted to his rich kid persona.
The private room quieted down again, and the dishes ordered earlier began to be served one after another.
Seeing that only the two of them were left, Xiao He didn't stand on ceremony and quickly invited Jia Bo to eat.
"Do you really want to buy the land? Or are you just helping her out?" Jia Bo looked at Xiao He with some suspicion, genuinely unable to understand why Xiao He would want to buy this piece of wasteland.
Anyway, Jinling wouldn't accept his good intentions, so Xiao He ended up solving her problem, which wasn't a bad outcome.
If it weren't for Xiao He's genuinely joyful expression, he would have even thought that Xiao He and Jin Ling were just "sisters with a deep bond."
"I do really like it there," Xiao He casually offered as an excuse.
"What's so good about that place?" Jia Bo thought of the lifeless lake, devoid of any beauty, filled only with mystery and coldness.
"The advantages... well, for example, not a blade of grass grows there, and there are no fish in the water," Xiao He slurped up a mouthful of noodles, answering him indistinctly as he chewed. He was starving! His first meal in three months!
"This? Is this an advantage?" Jia Bo asked, puzzled.
"Yes, because I'm only responsible for collecting, not for modifying."
"So, you actually bought this for someone else?" Jia Bo was taken aback.
Recalling the place where he first met Xiao He, even someone as clever as him realized that Xiao He's appearance was not a coincidence, but perhaps it was all part of his plan.
Thinking about it this way, Jia Bo suddenly became interested.
The previous gloom quickly faded, and he began to re-examine the "beautiful woman" who was wolfing down her food.
"For whom are you acquiring it? Would you mind disclosing that?" Jia Bo asked tentatively.
"What's inconvenient about this? Professor Yang knows, right?" Xiao He raised his eyebrows. "Professor Yang" is a household name, so Jia Bo couldn't possibly not know him.
Sure enough, upon hearing that the buyer was Yang Xing, Jia Bo was visibly taken aback, then his brows relaxed as he realized, "So it's Mr. Yang, then it's no surprise..."
Yang Xing was best at turning waste into treasure, and for some reason, after hearing the news, Jia Bo even boldly had the idea of cooperating with Yang Xing.
However, Yang Xing has always been low-key, spending most of his time on his Flying Dragon No. 1, only occasionally landing to buy something. He usually goes back up as soon as he finishes buying something. It is said that he dislikes noise and disturbance, so there are not many people who can interact with him, and naturally, not many people know him.
"May I ask a question?" Jia Bo paused, "What is your relationship with Mr. Yang?"
“Hmm…” Xiao He frowned, and after a long while, he finally uttered two words: “Friend.”
"Friend?" Jia Bo was taken aback for a moment before recalling that Xiao He seemed to have spent the entire time he was asleep on Yang Xing's spaceship. Given this, it would be strange if the two didn't know each other.
"What? You seem quite interested? Would you like me to introduce you?" Xiao He's words hit the nail on the head.
Jia Bo's eyes lit up with excitement: "Thank you so much!"
"You're too kind. I haven't thanked you for treating me to dinner yet," Xiao He said with a satisfied smile after finishing the last cup of wine.
"Of course, of course! Where are you going after dinner? Back to the academy? I'll take you." Jia Bo was even more attentive than before, his face full of joy.
“I…” Xiao He subconsciously wanted to say Angelina was faster, but suddenly remembered his “mission” and swallowed the words before they came out.
"I'd like to visit Beihu District again."
“No problem! Let’s go together then.” Jia Bo laughed heartily.
"Okay, thank you for your help."
Almost as soon as Xiao He's coordinates began to change, a group message popped up.
[Yang Xing: Is he back?]
[Xiao He: I've brought Young Master Jia here, so I'm not going to worry about the rest?]
Yang Xing: Mmm! That's perfect!! Mwah!
-
Beihu District.
While Xiao He was enjoying his meal, the other four had already each devoured a large white steamed bun, thus solving their lunch problem for the day.
"Buzzing..."
When Jia Bo's car arrived at the sales office, it "coincidentally" encountered the landing of Flying Dragon No. 1.
Upon first meeting the Fifth Grade Academy, Jia Bo couldn't help but be drawn to the "robust" girl, Dai Lele, who was the first to walk out.
This 1.7-second pause was caught by Wang Xuefeng behind Dai Lele.
As if drawn by some unseen force, Jia Bo immediately turned his gaze to the blindfolded man.
Despite it being their first meeting, an inexplicable tension arose between the two sides, leaving Yang Xing, who was standing to the side, feeling quite puzzled.
While they shouldn't appear too poor, they shouldn't be so unapproachable either! Yang Xing pushed up his self-made glasses, looking every bit the old scholar as he approached Xiao He and the other man.
"Young Master Jia, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Yang Xing, a senior instrument maker."
"This is Jia Bo, the young master of the Jia family in the south of the city."
"Hello, young master Jia Bo."
"Mr. Yang! Hello!"
Jia Bo shook hands with Yang Xing naturally, and that businesslike smile returned to his face. Even though he still had some doubts, he clearly didn't want to cause trouble in front of Yang Xing, whom he had just met.
After Xiao He finished his brief introduction, he returned to the three of them with a relaxed expression.
It was the consensus among everyone that it would be best to leave Yang Xing alone with Jia Bo.
After all, whenever it comes to business negotiations, they all try their best to see who can slip away the fastest.
"Sigh! I'll have to diet for six months..."
Dai Lele was depressed.
The four of them leisurely returned to school via the same route.
Apart from Xiao He, the other three had all heard Yang Xing mention that it would cost 5 billion Nuojin coins per month.
On average, each person needs to earn 1 billion per month.
"Can we start with a more realistic, smaller goal?"
"...Should we earn him a hundred million first?"
