Chapter 168

Lin Jie was not at all interested in the question of what was inside this heavy black suitcase.

He also didn't look forward to the happy scene of Qili opening the leather buckle of the box, popping out the cash that could barely fit, and the banknotes falling to the ground.

Not that he's a saint who treats money like shit, that's just bullshit.

It's just that the friendship between him and Qi Li that has not changed for three years cannot be measured by money.

Talk about money hurt feelings.

After all, it doesn't matter whether the gift is a gift or not, what matters is that the person comes and the heart comes.

Everyone tacitly said, looked at each other and smiled, and the feelings of many years were silent.

This kind of atmosphere is very good.

Lin Jie rubbed his face, restrained his overly bright smile, cleared his throat, reached out and moved the box to the side, and said, "How embarrassing."

The moment he pushed the box, he felt that the box was full of weight, and it sank a bit too much.

It took a lot of effort to stop the corners of the mouth from crazily upturning.

Qi Li had just sat on the high stool in front of the counter, but she hadn't sat still yet, when she heard this, she immediately looked at him eagerly and said, "This is a gift that I have carefully prepared for three years, please be sure to accept it."

"This..." Lin Jie was in a dilemma for about 0.5 seconds, and finally retreated under Qili's eyes, giving up the pretense of three pushes and three yields, and said helplessly, "Okay."

He couldn't help sighing that he was a sincere child, and it couldn't be her savings for the past three years...

Lin Jie inexplicably felt that he was like a parent who was collecting children's New Year's money, and he felt a little guilty.

Qi Li suddenly became happy, her eyebrows curved, and she said seriously: "You changed my destiny back then. Without you, I would not be where I am today. No matter what method or how expensive a gift is, it is not enough to express my love for you. Thank you, I can only do my best to make myself feel at ease."

"Don't worry, although the gift is expensive, it's just a little troublesome for me. As long as you are happy, everything I do is worth it."

As she spoke, she secretly observed Lin Jie's expression.

After confirming that his expression was actually one of joy and anticipation, but more restrained, Qi Li breathed a sigh of relief.

Great, this gift really suits Mr. Lin's appetite, he likes it very much!

Qi Li puffed up her chest, a little proud, she knew that she was definitely the one who knew Mr. Lin best.

As for Lin Jie's expression that he already understood what was in the box, Qi Li felt that it was completely natural.

After all, it is Mr. Lin, so the rune seal from a destructive white wizard must be useless. If it is not, then it is really strange.

Bella looked helpless and sighed secretly.

Master, master, you just vowed to let Mr. Lin feel your passionate feelings, but you forgot about it in a blink of an eye, and instead became humble. This is not good. If you don’t know what you said, no one will know...

But the head maid thought half of it, looked at Qi Li who was already immersed in happiness, and shook her head, alas, forget it, it's hopeless.

Lin Jie smiled and said: "I'm very happy, but... just this time, I won't accept any more gifts from you in the future, unless you need help, when I help you, it can be regarded as an equivalent exchange. "

Qili relies on and trusts him too much, and thinks too highly of him. This is not a good thing, and she is prone to paranoia... It is still necessary to keep a distance.

It's okay to be a friend, but if the little girl treats him as a god, then it's over.

As for now, um...he can still see that Qili's expression is not forced. Considering her current position in the Ash Chamber of Commerce, most of the things should indeed be "a little troublesome" to her. this level.

Moreover, Bella, the steady and reliable head maid, did not look abnormal either.

So this time, he reluctantly accepted the gift.

Qi Li obediently said "oh", and her heart became more and more happy.

Mr. Lin's words, on the surface, seemed to be a refusal to give a gift, which seemed to be business-like and cold.

But in fact, he said that she could come to him if she had difficulties in the future, and he would not refuse. This promise was a great honor.

May I ask who doesn't know that Boss Lin is almost omnipotent?

It seems that Mr. Lin is really happy this time.

Qi Li strikes while the iron is hot: "Open the gift and have a look. I have prepared it for a long time. If you are not satisfied, I can try to find other rare treasures..."

She remembered what Lin Jie said just now, and added: "This time I have a book to ask you, I hope you can help decipher it, so I should give another gift."

Lin Jie always felt that something was wrong.

Logically speaking, it should be him doing a favor, and Qi Li can choose to give a gift as a thank you, but now it seems that Qi Li is giving a gift as a reward, asking him to do things.

The difference between the two is probably that the former can prostitute for nothing, while the latter must pay.

Lin Jie always felt that Qili, who possessed the attributes of a domineering boss, seemed to be a little keen on giving him gifts, as if this could increase his favorability...

Cough, well, he admitted that this can indeed increase the favorability.

"You are interested, but there is no need to give gifts so frequently. I still prefer books or cultural things."

While talking, Lin Jie cast his eyes on the pitch-black leather case.

Bella immediately said respectfully, "I'll do it."

Lin Jie nodded, Bell stretched his hand, and opened the lock of the suitcase with a dazzling technique.

It's gaudy... Lin Jie couldn't help complaining in his heart.

But after all, the things in the box are valuable, so it is quite normal to need such a complicated lock.

Lin Jie watched with anticipation as the head maid opened the suitcase.

"Slap!"

The voice was exactly as imagined.

However, Lin Jie looked at the things in the suitcase, blinked his eyes, and fell into deep thought.

The situation was a little bit different from what he had imagined.

The things in the box were indeed stacks, but they were not stacks of banknotes, but stacks of stones... That's right, what was inside the box was a complete fossil!

This entire piece of pale stone is in the shape of fine steps, with lines like scales and blood vessels spreading radially from the middle layer by layer. In the center, there is a complete fossil that looks like a heart.

Lin Jie was shocked.

Complete soft tissue organ fossils? !

Qi Li introduced: "This is an ancient dragon heart from the first era."

According to Azir's history, the first era is a full 100 million years ago, that is to say, the fossil in front of me came from 100 million years ago, and it is an extremely rare fossil of a complete soft tissue organ. Damn, this thing should not be put away Is it in a museum?

The corner of Lin Jie's mouth twitched. In a sense, the value and shock of this thing in front of him was much higher than a box of banknotes.
