Qi Qi Qi no longer looked at Fang Zhijun and Mei Hong, and took Mu Chen's hand and walked towards a small wooden house not far away. This wooden house was located in the center of a vast plain, and one could tell from the fresh soil around it that this was a temporary house.
Fang Zhijun saw that they had entered the house first, so he did not delay any longer. He let go of Mei Hong's waist and followed her into the wooden house. Mei Hong was left far behind. Mei Hong bit her lips, not daring to complain.
When they entered the wooden house, He Yao and Li Chen were already waiting inside. The structure of the house was very simple. Apart from a few sets of large sofas, there was nothing else.
Qi Qi Qi looked up and met Mu Chen's eyes. She was suspicious in her heart. Li Chen had spent so much effort to gather everyone here. Could this be another test? Otherwise, why didn't he bring the goods with him?
Mu Chen gave her a calm and patient look before hugging her and sitting on the sofa on the other side.
When He Yao saw the two of them walking in, and saw Fang Zhijun and Mei Hong, who had followed them in, he instantly smiled in understanding.
Li Chen only narrowed his eyes and swept a glance over them before he smiled and greeted, "Now that everyone is here, it's time to get down to business. "I'm sorry for taking up so much of everyone's time. I hope you can understand why. In our line of work, although the rewards are great, the risks are also great. I have no choice but to be careful."
Seeing everyone nod in agreement, Li Chen's smile deepened. "But please believe that once I tell everyone the truth, I will give everyone the greatest amount of trust. I just hope that everyone will not disappoint me."
Qi Qi Jian curled her lips as if she didn't think much of what Li Chen had just said.
"Miss Zheng, are you not convinced by my words? Do you think I'm being overconfident?" Li Chen smiled in a good mood. He did not explain anything further and took out a flat aluminum safe from a shadow beside his sofa. He stood up, placed the safe on the coffee table in front of Qi Qi and opened it.
Qi Dingqing looked inside and saw twenty to thirty bags of white powder neatly placed. She couldn't help but reveal an astonished expression.
"I hope this gift can make Miss Zheng feel better!" Li Chen spread out his right hand and pointed in the direction of the box.
"For me!?"
"Yes, this is a gift specially prepared for Miss Zheng. It should have been presented as a greeting gift the first time we met, but at that time, it wasn't mature enough. If you did, I'm afraid it would have troubled Miss Zheng. That's why it took so long!"
77 reached into the safe and took out a small bag of powder. He poked a small hole in it with his finger, then put some of the powder into his mouth and tasted it.
"Such high concentration, it must be expensive!" If Mr. Li wants to take money, then I won't be able to afford this gift. "
"Miss Zheng, you must be joking. Since it's a gift, there's no reason for you to pay. This is just a little bit of sincerity from me. I hope that we can cooperate happily in the future."
"I didn't expect Mr. Li to be so generous. No wonder Mr. Li had such a good relationship with you." This time, the smile on Zheng Qi's face was much more sincere. His actions as he leaned against the sofa even carried an almost imperceptible sense of satisfaction.
"Haha, I knew you would be so straightforward. Since you've accepted this gift, it means that our partnership has been established. I still need your help in the future." Seeing that Qi Qi Qi was in a good mood, He Yao hurriedly took the opportunity to beat her up.
"What, you're going to order me to do something so soon? Mr. Li's hands are really hot from holding this thing." Qi Qi glanced at Li Chen from the corner of her eyes with a mocking expression on her face.
"Where!?" "Miss Zheng is being too serious. It's He Yao who doesn't know how to talk. If there's anything that makes you misunderstand, please forgive me." Although Li Chen explained with a smile on his face, his nonchalant look clearly showed that he agreed with He Yao's words.
"Come on, since we're talking business, I, Zheng Qi, am not the kind of person who would take advantage of others for free. Just tell me what you want me to do, no need to beat around the bush."
"Miss Zheng is indeed straightforward. No wonder Yao always said Miss Zheng was straightforward." After a polite compliment, Li Chen did not waste any more time on nonsense and simply explained how they would work together in the future.
"I have a friend who owns goods abroad. Originally, there was a very stable channel for them to enter the country, but a few days ago, an accident happened and we couldn't sell any goods on this route. According to He Yao, the Zheng Family has a great influence in the military, and I hope they can make use of the Zheng Family and the Mu Family's influence to make things convenient for us at the Customs Department."
After quietly listening to Li Chen's request, Seven Fields frowned and pondered for a long time, not replying for a long time.
Seeing that Qi Qi Qi didn't answer him, He Yao quietly reached out his hand and pushed Mu Chen, giving him a look so he could ask him a question. However, Mu Chen frowned and shook his head, obviously not wanting to be the leader.
He Yao turned around to look at Li Chen, but seeing his calm face, and even leisurely sipping a cup of tea, he couldn't help but curse in his heart. One or two critical times were not enough for him.
Therefore, he had to bite the bullet and break the silence. "Seventh, Seventh, can you agree to these requests of Mr. Li?"
After asking this question, he stared fixedly at the expression on Qi Qi Qi's face, afraid that she would suddenly change her expression. After being in contact with her for the past few days, he had a deep understanding of this young miss' violent temper.
Furthermore, during the time he had spent in contact with Zheng Qi, he discovered that even though she said that she wouldn't return to the army, she didn't do anything that would really harm the interests of the troops. For her to suddenly agree to such a request, he wasn't sure if she would agree or not.
Although his expression was relaxed, his gaze did not leave Qi Hua. Since he dared to say such words today, he had some confidence in himself, so what if he was a son of a Venerable family? Even if he was a tough guy, he could only bend his back and compromise, not to mention, she was only a woman slightly stronger than an ordinary man.
Sure enough, after pondering for a long time, Qi Qi Qi still nodded in the end.
"It's a deal, I will do my best to make things convenient for you guys, but I have a request. I need to take 30% of the profits from every transaction."
"30%!" He Yao was the first to react, and even his voice rose an octave higher. He then realized that he had lost his composure, embarrassedly cleared his throat, turned around and asked in a low voice, "Seventy-Seven, do you know how much this thirty percent profit is? Aren't you afraid of pushing yourself to death! "
"What I'm blocking is the reputation and connections that our Zheng Family has accumulated for generations. Furthermore, there are the powers of the Mu Family. What, aren't these enough to cover 30% of the profits?" Although they were just asking, Qi Qi Qi's words were very forceful. Everyone disagreed, and wanted to scatter them.
Li Chen's eyes turned cold for a second, but soon calmed down again. When He Yao wanted to say something, he reached out his hand to stop him.
"Fine, 33%, but I also have a request. Other than clearing this path, I also need you to help me insert a few people into the military."
Hearing this, Qi Qi Qi turned her head and looked at Fang Zhi Jun and Mei Hong who were silently sitting at the side. The corner of her mouth curled up into a pretty curve, but her eyes were filled with ridicule.
"Don't tell me the person Mr. Li is talking about is Fang Zhijun?"
Li Chen shook his head slightly, "Of course not. From the attitude of the leader when Miss Zheng entered, I knew you guys are not suited to work closely together. Besides, Captain Fang is developing well in the police force and there's no need to change places. I'll need Miss Zheng's help. When the time is right, I'll introduce you to her."
"That's good. If Mr. Li says it's Fang Zhijun, then I'm afraid our cooperation ends here." Septimus coldly snorted and turned his head away, no longer looking at Fang Zhijun's ashen face.
"Miss Zheng, no matter what happened in the past, you and Brother Zhijun have already returned to the bridge. Why must you be so overbearing?" Seeing that Fang Zhijun's expression was bad, Mei Hong hurriedly opened her mouth to seek justice for the man beside her.
"Do you have the right to speak here?" Qi Qi Qi looked at Mei Hong with disdain. She was unwilling to speak with her, as if speaking to her would lower her status.
Mei Hong bit her lips. Her eyes were red from anger, but there was nothing she could say. Her position was not as high as anyone's, and the heart of the man beside her was not with her. What else could she do other than endure?
"I …" After saying that single word in a choked voice, Mei Hong didn't say anything else and only tightened her grip on Fang Zhijun's arm.
Fang Zhijun did not feel sorry for Mei Hong, but if he still remained silent after being slapped in the face like this, then he would be too useless.
"Seventh Brother, don't worry. Even if Fang Zhijun doesn't have any backbone, he won't waddle for mercy in front of you. I'll fight for my own way out. I just hope that when I'm successful, you won't regret it!"
"Ha!" Mu Chen, this must be a joke right? Someone actually said that they want to see me regret. Since I was young, have you seen how I feel about my regret? " Qi Qi Qi didn't look at Fang Zhijun, but instead looked at Mu Chen with a playful expression.
"No, never!" Mu Chen looked at Fang Zhijun with an annoyed expression, as if he was looking down on everyone else.
Li Chen's eyes filled with interest landed on the two couples in front of him. The smile on his face became wider and wider. It's good to have competition, it's better to have enmity.
He had always been a fisherman.
"Don't look down on him. Since Brother Zhijun is able to advance so fast in such a short time, then he has the ability to make you look at him in a new light."
"Don't you know the Mu Family's influence in the police? "No matter how capable Fang Zhijun is, he is still just a pauper without any roots who came from the countryside. Not to mention the Mu family, even Mu Chen, with just a slight movement of his finger, he would be able to let Fang Zhijun return to being a low level police officer for the rest of his life. I really don't know where you got the confidence to make a ruckus with me."
"Do you think that the Mu Family is the only one in the police station? The Chen family's power is also not small. If they really want to fight, the Mu family might not be able to escape unscathed. At most, they would only end up with a lose-lose situation … "
"Shut up!"
Without waiting for Mei Hong to finish speaking, Fang Zhijun sternly stopped her because he saw Li Chen's cold eyes on the two of them. He couldn't help but shiver when he was swept by such a gloomy gaze.
