He helped the three women find a temporary place to stay and got them their identification documents. He felt that he had repaid his debt of gratitude.
Unexpectedly, this woman made an outrageous demand, wanting him to help arrange for all her tribesmen.
It seems the teacher we invited this time was quite good; it hasn't been long, and this girl has already learned to bargain with people.
Lu Qingyan didn't expect Huo Jin to agree so readily. If he did, she would think he was out of his mind.
Huo Jin is a businessman, and what do businessmen value most? Of course, it's profit.
“Huo Jin,” Lu Qingyan called his name and said, “Besides the three of us, there are only about seventeen or eighteen other clansmen left. They are just like us when you first met them. They don’t know anything yet and need someone to teach them. But I also believe that they are all smart and will definitely learn quickly.”
"You even want to hire a teacher? You've got a good plan." Huo Jin thought to himself, smiling as he wondered if this little girl was taking advantage of him. But he didn't stop her from speaking.
“I think once you’ve taught them, they’ll definitely be able to handle a job. As long as you’re willing to help our people familiarize themselves with everything in this world, they can all stay by your side and serve you,” Lu Qingyan said, her words essentially selling out her entire clan.
However, Lu Qingyan felt that this deal was not a loss. There were seventeen or eighteen people in her clan, which was not a lot, but she couldn't teach them one by one by herself, so she would definitely have to find someone to come over.
If they aren't taught, they simply won't be able to survive in this world, and the chances of them being exposed are extremely high.
Furthermore, having just arrived, they didn't even have a place to stay. Where would their people live? Huo Jin could solve problems like these.
Huo Jin still refused, saying, "I still don't think this deal is worthwhile. You're right, your people don't understand anything yet. Even if they are smart, how can I know what they will become after they've learned something?"
Actually, he still had a little bit of expectation in his heart.
Lu Qingyan directly confronted him, saying, "Probably because we eat different things, our people all have exceptionally good voices. Songs sung by us will definitely be huge hits! I remember you have an entertainment company; you could have them work there. Our people don't have any other requirements; all we need is a place to stay and food."
Lu Qingyan tried her best to lower her demands. If it came down to wealth, Huo Jin still couldn't beat the merfolk. They had been collecting all sorts of treasures for thousands or hundreds of years.
Over the years, no race or individual has become richer than them. But money alone is not everything; their lack of a superior position among humans still presents some inconveniences.
"Xiao Rou, aren't you afraid they won't agree to this? Isn't this too much of a loss for you?" Huo Jin looked at Lu Qingyan with great interest. Such conditions were indeed very tempting, and at least he himself had wavered a little.
However, he wouldn't make any absolute statements. Instead, he said, "Alright, then I'll give you this chance. If they can't satisfy me, then you'll have to repay them for everything I've done."
"Lu Qingyan is a promising talent." This statement not only reflected Huo Jin's true feelings but also reassured Lu Qingyan considerably.
