Su Mo ate the slices of bread silently. Although it was nothing special, it tasted particularly delicious today.
"Is it enough? If not, I will get you some more."
Qian Chengxue asked very thoughtfully.
"Enough."
Su Mo replied in a good mood. Only then did he realize that Qian Chengxue was sitting sideways, with a looming deep groove exposed on the top of his white shirt.
For a moment, Su Mo felt his heartbeat speed up and his nostrils felt a little itchy.
He quickly shifted his gaze and adjusted his mentality.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Boom?
Su Mo was stunned for a moment and looked at Qian Chengxue with confusion on his face. Who would come to see her so early in the morning?
Seeing Su Mo's expression, Qian Chengxue felt like she was being grabbed. She said softly with an unnatural expression: "What are you looking at me for? I don't know who it is."
She was also extremely puzzled. Usually no one came, but today was a bit unusual.
"Ahem, no, I didn't mean that."
Su Mo quickly explained.
"I'll go see who it is."
Immediately, Qian Chengxue stood up and walked towards the door. She walked to the door and opened the electronic peephole image.
As a result, when she saw the person knocking on the door, her pupils suddenly dilated and she ran back in a panic.
"Su Mo."
"What's wrong? Who's here? Why are you so nervous?"
Su Mo looked confused. He was blocked by a group of people early in the morning, but he was not so panicked.
"Hurry and hide for a moment."
Qian Chengxue said with some confusion.
"Who is coming and I have to hide for a while?"
Su Mo's heart sank slightly. Who has he not been afraid of before?
"I don't know what happened, but my father came over unexpectedly."
Qian Chengxue didn't care anymore and told Su Mo directly.
"What did you say?"
After Su Mo heard this, he stood up suddenly. He didn't have the previous disdain at all. He looked left and right and asked, "Then where should I hide? How about the bathroom?"
As he said that, Su Mo ran towards the bathroom.
Qian Chengxue quickly grabbed Su Mo.
"Not here."
"Where to hide?"
"My room."
Saying that, Qian Chengxue quickly pulled Su Mo into her room.
Su Mo quickly looked around Qian Chengxue's room, then stared directly at the bottom of the bed. He lay down and crawled under the bed.
"Su Mo farewell..."
Qian Chengxue saw Su Mo getting under the bed and wanted to stop him, but it was already too late. Su Mo had already gotten in quickly.
At this time, there were constant knocks on the door outside.
So Qian Chengxue didn't care so much and ran towards the door.
Under the bed, Su Mo crawled inside. At this moment, he felt that he bumped into a pair of soft things. He touched them subconsciously and found that they looked like clothes.
So he grabbed a handful and looked at it, and was dumbfounded.
"Pearl, black silk, white silk, lace..."
At this time, Su Mo quickly looked around carefully, his face suddenly turned red, and he found underwear everywhere. And they all looked quite new, they must have been worn only once.
He immediately realized, no wonder the room was so clean and all the emotions were piled under the bed.
At this time, Qian Chengxue walked to the door of the room, took a deep breath, and opened the door.
I saw Ye Tian standing alone at the door. The two looked at each other and didn't know what to say for a while. The atmosphere was very awkward.
Finally Qian Chengxue broke the silence and said: "Father, come in and sit down."
"Um."
Ye Tian nodded slightly and walked in.
He looked at the simple furnishings in the room and said with a slight touch: "There's no need to be so simple."
"fine."
Qian Chengxue replied in a low voice.
"If you don't have enough money, I'll have someone beat you."
"No need for father, I'm fine."
Qian Chengxue replied with some discomfort. She remembered that Ye Tian rarely communicated with her like this. Even if he did, it was a long time ago and she couldn't remember clearly.
At this time, Ye Tian glanced at the dining table inadvertently and saw two sets of leftover tableware placed on it.
His eyes couldn't help but narrowed, and he looked towards the toilet and the room.
"Father, what do you want from me?"
When Qian Chengxue saw Ye Tian looking towards the room, she immediately reacted and quickly diverted his attention.
When Ye Tian heard Qian Chengxue asking himself, he couldn't help but sigh deeply, and then said: "The situation of the family is not optimistic, the capital and personnel have suffered heavy losses, and the strategic direction has been frustrated. I know I shouldn't tell you this, after all
Your family is not very good to you either."
Qian Chengxue lowered her head slightly, biting her lips.
"Father, I know."
"Actually, if possible, I don't want to talk about this when I meet you. I also want to talk to you about some happier things. After all, I haven't been with you much since I was a child, and you have grown up so much in the blink of an eye.
"
Ye Tian said a little tiredly.
"It doesn't matter, I'm used to it. Father, you came to see me. Did something happen?"
Qian Chengxue took a deep breath and asked. In fact, she knew Ye Tian somewhat. He was a very principled person. He would not come to her unless he had no choice.
I remember that when his eldest brother Ye Wuhen was imprisoned in the Black and White Institution, he didn't even come forward.
"It's about the things that accompany this exploration."
Ye Tianjiang kept his posture very low.
Qian Chengxue was also extremely surprised when she heard Ye Tian's words. It was just an exploration, but why did her father take such fancy?
Ye Tian also noticed Qian Chengxue's puzzled look, so he opened his mouth to explain.
"This is not an ordinary exploration. If it were, I wouldn't come here specifically for you. According to rumors, what we are exploring this time is a starry sky area that is extremely rich in resources, and the income may be very high. When the time comes, Hei Yao
The ship may have to return early, monetize the resources it has acquired, and re-arm it in a leap-forward way. If we miss this opportunity, we may become even more out of step with the times."
...
Under the bed in the bedroom, Su Mo pricked up his ears and listened to what Ye Tian said.
There was a look of helplessness on his face. No wonder the rumors were getting more and more outrageous as they spread.
Today he finally saw it. What Spade clearly told them was that the resources in the starry sky were extremely scarce. If they couldn't find the ruins of the Titan clan, they might end up empty-handed.
At this point, it becomes that the starry sky is very rich in resources. Isn’t this nonsense?
However, after Su Mo thought about it carefully, it seemed that he could not blame Ye Tian and the others for getting the wrong information. The true purpose of this exploration must not be revealed, but the exploration was not kept secret, so naturally everyone started to speculate.
On the other side, Qian Chengxue fell into silence after listening to what Ye Tian said.
Seeing that Qian Chengxue didn't speak, Ye Tian sighed and continued.
"This matter is really important to the family. The family needs this opportunity. Wang Hai is usually responsible for this kind of thing, and the family can probably get some opportunities. But something went wrong this time. I heard it was Su Mo
The team leader in charge of Area Z, I hope you can help convince him to let us accompany him."
It was the first time Qian Chengxue saw her father requesting her in such a low voice. Her heart felt like a broken condiment bottle, with mixed flavors and inexplicable discomfort.
Then she replied in a low voice: "I know father, I will tell Su Mo about this and try my best to fight for it."
Although Qian Chengxue agreed to help, she did not agree directly. After all, this matter required Su Mo's nod, and she did not make any independent claims.
"Okay, that's enough. I have something else to do and I'll leave first."
Ye Tian said calmly.
"good."
Qian Chengxue personally sent Ye Tian out.
Soon the two of them walked to the door. When Ye Tianlin left, he turned to look at Qian Chengxue and said with a somewhat complicated expression: "You are alone outside, take good care of yourself."
After saying that, Ye Tian left without looking back. He never mentioned letting Qian Chengxue go home during the whole process.
Moreover, he did not bring anyone with him this time, probably because he was afraid that others would find out.
Qian Chengxue looked at Ye Tian's leaving figure, feeling slightly dazed and feeling inexplicably sad.
....
Soon after, Qian Chengxue closed the door and returned to the room, and she shouted.
"Su Mo is fine."
At this time, Su Mo crawled out from under the bed and asked awkwardly: "Were you not discovered?"
"Probably not. I want to discuss something with you, Su Mo."
Qian Chengxue replied with a somewhat depressed expression.
"You want to talk about the Ye family's trip? There's no problem with that."
Su Mo replied directly, he had just heard it.
Qian Chengxue raised her head and looked at Su Mo in shock and said, "Don't you think about it? What if it's not suitable?"
"If there is any inappropriateness, I can make the decision on this matter. Don't worry about small things, but there is a problem."
Su Mo responded with a smile.
"what is the problem?"
Qian Chengxue asked quickly.
"Did your father misunderstand something? Although he was going to explore this time, the starry sky was very barren and there were basically no resources?"
Although Su Mo agreed, he still had to speak clearly.
"Unlikely?"
Qian Chengxue was also surprised after listening to Su Mo's words. Isn't this exploration a very interesting thing? Otherwise, why would so many people break their heads and fight for it?
Su Mo hesitated for a moment, then whispered to Qian Chengxue: "Logically speaking, there are some things that I shouldn't tell you, but I tell you privately not to spread the word. This exploration is to find someone to destroy.
If you find the ruins of a race, you will naturally have meat to eat, but if you cannot find it, you will definitely return empty-handed. This matter is absolutely confidential."
"Ok, I see."
Qian Chengxue was very moved after hearing this. Su Mo was even willing to reveal this matter to herself.
"Well, I'll finish the meal."
Su Mo was very natural and walked towards the dining table. It was rare for Qian Chengxue to prepare breakfast for him. He had to finish it anyway and couldn't waste it.
He sat on the dining chair again and just picked up the filled milk cup to drink.
Qian Chengxue also walked over. Her face was slightly red and she mustered up the courage to say: "Su Mo, you won't be able to go back to the dormitory recently, why don't you just move to my place."
Hearing Qian Chengxue's words, Su Mo's hands shook and he almost spilled the milk, but he immediately replied calmly: "Okay."
Of course, this was just the surface. At this moment, Su Mo was panicking and his heart was beating faster.
Seeing that Su Mo agreed, Qian Chengxue secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She was still a little worried that Su Mo would refuse.
Just then a bell rang.
Buzz~
Su Mo picked up the phone and took a look, slightly startled. Why was Sun Duoxiang calling him so early?
So he picked up.
"whats the matter?"
"Boss, are you free at noon? I'll treat you to dinner."
Sun Duoxiang said awkwardly.
"We just had dinner last night, why are you inviting me now? If you have anything to say, please tell me, and if you have any farts, please let me go."
Su Mo asked doubtfully.
"Ahem, that boss, you are really the leader."
"Aren't you talking nonsense?"
Su Mo's head hurt a little.
"No, no, I didn't question what you meant. That's what happened. Do we have enough people? How about I bring more?"
Sun Duoxiang said with some embarrassment.
Su Mo immediately heard the problem.
"Tell the truth, who are you interceding for?"
"It's like this. The Lin family asked me to tell you that they also want to participate in this operation. And they are willing to give you 30% of the proceeds. I really have no choice. I have to give Lin Ming some face."
Sun Duoxiang swallowed and said.
Su Mo pondered for a while and said: "Lin Ming's face must be given to you. I agree to this. In addition, if you tell the Lin family, the 30% of the income will be waived."
"Boss, are you right? You won't eat the meat that comes to your lips?"
Sun Duoxiang asked in disbelief.
"I told you to give Lin Ming face, what should I eat?"
Su Mo replied angrily, "There is another point. This exploration is not that simple. It is completely different from the disintegration of the Fortress of the Forbidden City last time. It is not the same thing. If not, it may be dangerous."
These people must have misunderstood, but Su Mo would not explain it to them.
"Okay, okay, boss, I understand."
Sun Duoxiang responded quickly.
After Su Mo hung up the phone, his expression was a little solemn. It seemed that he had to face up to the mission of this exploration.
"What's wrong? You seem to be worried."
Qian Chengxue asked.
"fine."
Su Mo shook his head.
As a result, Su Mo's cell phone rang again just in the middle of what he said.
Su Mo glanced at the phone and felt a little headache.
What the hell, Sun Duoxiang just finished calling himself, and now it's Mo Baoke's turn. Did the two people discuss this in advance?
So Su Mo answered the phone helplessly.
Mo Baoke's flattering voice immediately sounded on the other side of the phone.
"Master Su Mo, please open the door. I'm standing at the door of your house. Don't squeeze me..."
"Is this Mr. Su Mo? Open the door. I am the manager of Zhiyan Group (Zhang Family)."
"Who are you? Don't steal my phone number."
.....
Su Mo silently turned off the phone.
Qian Chengxue on the side showed a faint smile and said: "At this level, it is always like this, and you will gradually get used to it."
"I'm not used to it, this feeling is too uncomfortable, ugh..."
Su Mo said with pain in his balls.
"Let's not talk about that. I will buy some supplies later. It's okay if you keep wearing pajamas."
Qian Chengxue extended an invitation to Su Mo.
"Um, but is it okay if I go out now?"
Su Mo asked a little worriedly.
"Don't worry, it's okay. It's just the big shots who are looking for you. You are not a star, and no one will pay attention to you. And whoever you want to choose is your right. The decision-making power is in your hands. There is no need to hide.
Hiding, you are not a criminal."
Qian Chengxue said with a chuckle.
"That makes sense, I just want to buy something for you."
Su Mo thought for a moment and realized what Qian Chengxue said made sense.
.....
----------------------------------------
Soon after, Su Mo and Qian Chengxue were walking on the streets of Zhongcheng District.
Qian Chengxue was a little curious, what did Su Mo want to buy for her?
After a while, the two came to a large electrical appliance store. Through the floor-to-ceiling transparent glass, they could see that it was filled with various products.
"right here."
Su Mo was very happy to take Qian Chengxue inside.
"Welcome, how can I help you?"
A young manager in a suit came up to him and asked with a smile.
"Do you have a smart washing machine here?"
Su Mo asked straight to the point.
"have."
The manager in front of me replied immediately.
Qian Chengxue on the side heard Su Mo's words, and her fair face suddenly turned red. At this time, she realized that Su Mo had definitely seen everything when he got under the bed.
The more Qian Chengxue thought about it, the redder her face turned red, and she wished she could find a gap to get in.
"Want the most expensive and the best."
Su Mo said very generously.
"Sir, are you sure? Our most expensive smart washing machine is not cheap."
The young manager reminded hurriedly.
You must know that their store is a luxury item among luxury goods, and the items they sell are also the most expensive, beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Although the Federation is currently in a very bad situation, lacking supplies and on the brink of war, it does not affect their business at all.
The so-called turmoil and poverty are only relative to the people at the bottom. People at the top will never be short of materials and money, and their lives will always be luxurious and prosperous.
"Sure."
Su Mo replied with certainty.
"Dear guest, this is my business card, please follow me."
The name of the manager in front of me immediately changed, he became more polite, and he even took out his business card.
Su Mo took the business card and followed the manager towards the inside of the store.
"Sir, the Natural Light smart washing machine at the front is the best washing machine in our store. It comes with 3,000 different modes of adaptive cleaning functions. It is equipped with natural drying, natural softness, natural sterilization, and integrated automatic folding of clothes. That is
Put the clothes in and fold them out. There are also 103 other additional functions to ensure that the clothes you wash are as good as new and will not damage the clothes at all. Any luxury brand clothes can be used
Fool-style cleaning, this washing machine was purchased from Star Ring City..."
The young manager introduced us very enthusiastically.
At this moment, Su Mo saw a familiar figure from a distance.
I saw Jialan looking at the natural light smart washing machine in a trance.
"Isn't that Su Mo's Jialan?"
Before Su Mo could speak, Qian Chengxue unexpectedly reminded Su Mo.
"Yes, let's go over and say hello! Jialan."
Su Mo shouted.
After hearing Su Mo's shout, Jia Lan turned around and looked over. When he saw Su Mo and Qian Chengxue walking over, he smiled and said hello.
"What a coincidence."
"Yes, are you looking at the washing machine too?"
Su Mo asked curiously.
"Yeah, but it's so expensive."
Jialan looked a little confused at the price on the label.
"How much money do you have, I'll give you one as a gift."
Su Mo said nonchalantly.
"Sir, 10,000 star coins per unit."
The manager following Su Mo said with a smile.
When Su Mo heard this, his expression froze. It's so expensive? It's as good as a high-end second-generation mecha.
Qian Chengxue was a little discouraged when she heard the price, and she whispered to Su Mo.
"If not, we can just buy one."
"It's okay, come with two!"
Su Mo replied calmly.
"well...."
The manager on the side was very happy after hearing this. He placed a big order today.
However, at this moment, a kind voice sounded.
"Mr. Su Mo, if you like it, I can give it to you."
Su Mo frowned slightly and turned to look over.
I saw an old man wearing a retro robe walking out from behind with a cane.
Upon closer inspection, this old man is also very impressive.
When the young manager saw the old man, he immediately lowered his head in fear and did not dare to look directly.
Su Mo thought about it carefully and found that he had no impression of this person at all. He had never seen him before.
Qian Chengxue looked a little moved when she saw the old man coming. She recognized the identity of the old man in front of her. The old man in front of her was Wang Ce, the old patriarch of the Five Dragon Head Wang family.
The Five Dragon Heads have always been married to each other, so most of them have met each other and have some impressions.
Jialan on the side looked at Su Mo curiously.
"Su Mo, don't you need to pay for anything you buy?"
Su Mo smiled and replied: "How is it possible? Free things are the most expensive."
"oh!"
Jialan doesn't know much about this.
Su Mo turned to the old man and said politely: "No need, old sir, I have money myself and I'm not short of money!"
As he said that, Su Mo immediately untied his pajamas.
This operation also made Qian Chengxue stunned.
Su Mo unbuttoned his pajamas and took out a pile of star coin exchange tickets from the hidden inner pocket. He pulled two out of them and stuffed them directly into the manager's hand.
The manager was almost crying. It was wrong for him to answer, and it was wrong not to answer.
"Su Mo, what are you doing?"
Qian Chengxue came back to her senses and asked.
"Ahem, I bought a pair of pajamas with an inner pocket specially to hide money, otherwise there would be no place to put it."
Su Mo explained with a smile.
Jialan agreed very much and said: "There is no safer place than hiding on your own body."
"Miss Jialan praised me."
Su Mo was also in a very good mood.
"Su Mo, thank you for helping me buy things. I have something to do and I'll leave first. You can come to my house to play when you have time."
When Jia Lan saw that he had finished shopping, he said goodbye to Su Mo.
"Okay, walk slowly."
Su Mo waved goodbye to Jialan.
After Jialan left, Wang Ce continued chatting with Su Mo with a smile.
"Master Su Mo, I wonder if I can give this old man some face and go to the tea room to have a chat."
"No, who are you?"
Su Mo began to look squarely at the old man in front of him.
"My name is Wang Ce, I do small business."
Wang Ce said very easily.
At this time, Qian Chengxue whispered to Su Mo: "He is the old patriarch of the Five Dragon Head Wang family. The Wang family has been doing very well in recent years."
After Su Mo heard this, he took a deep breath. This trouble was really everywhere. However, Su Mo didn't intend to offend the other party too much, so he spoke.
"Master Wang Ce, we still have something to do, so we won't chat with you. We will chat next time we have the opportunity."
"Since Mr. Su Mo is so busy, I will keep the story short. In fact, I came to you for something. I hope you can take our Wang family with you on this interstellar exploration. Of course, you can rest assured that our Wang family will absolutely obey you.
command, and we are willing to pay a share of this amount!"
When Wang Ce saw that Su Mo was leaving, he simply showed his cards and held out five fingers.
Su Mo secretly took a breath when he saw Wang Ce's stretched out fingers.
The Wang family has become prosperous in recent years, and it’s not without reason. It’s been divided into 50%!
How generous is this? How many people can resist this temptation?
The reason why Wang Ce did this was, on the one hand, to ensure that he got a quota for this exploration. But this was not the most important thing. The most important thing was that Wang Ce wanted to knock Su Mo into confusion in one breath.
Pulling it to his side, he was more interested in the new big tree in Su Mo than in exploring the quota.
Who is Wang Hai? No one knows better than him.
This guy was able to defeat Wang Hai, even if Wang Hai had some problems himself, it was enough to prove that Su Mo's strength should not be underestimated.
Not to mention that Wang Ce also specifically investigated Su Mo. The more he investigated, the more shocking the information became.
"Sorry, exploring this matter is very important. Each entourage is carefully selected. I cannot agree casually."
Su Mo declined politely.
"Master Su Mo, you are thinking about it, there is no need to be in such a hurry."
Wang Ce said with a smile.
"Sorry, we have something else to do so we won't stay any longer."
With that said, Su Mo and Qian Chengxue left directly.
After Su Mo and Qian Chengxue walked away, some core members of the Wang family walked over from nearby.
"Old Patriarch, the other party's appetite is too big, and you don't agree to this? We can use this condition to find the team leaders in other areas, and they will agree."
"The other party is not a big appetite, but a principled person. This kind of person is the most difficult to conquer. But once the attack is successful, the value will be immeasurable. Take your time. And let me warn you, even if it doesn't work this time,
Don’t offend him either.”
Wang Ce said with a flash of light in his eyes.
"yes."
...
ps: I have an impromptu meeting, so I will continue to update it tomorrow.
