“Hey! Miss Nan, look at what you’re saying. Aren’t you treating me as an outsider? I’ll tell you this. Of all the equipment in our Chamber of Commerce, whichever one you like, take it! I’ll pay all the expenses!”
“Eh, really?” But Boss Zhao, didn’t you tell me that you’re selling it to us at a 10% discount? “Nan blinked her eyes, pretending to be surprised.
Seeing this, Zhao Jie could only brace himself. Although his heart was bleeding, he still forced a smile on his face.
“What are you talking about, Miss Nan? You destroyed the monster’s nest with one shot and ended this defense battle ahead of time. Our entire Chamber of Commerce has to thank you.”
“But…What if this gets out and people say that I, Nan, bully the people? Our Northern Ten Titans have always been focused on convincing people with reason.”
Nan’s words made Zhao Jie subconsciously recall that ten minutes ago, there was a deafening explosion in the daytime. Zhao Jie quietly wiped the sweat on his forehead and quickly said,”
“No, no, everyone must know that Miss Nan is convincing people with reason.”
“Hahaha, alright, alright. Boss Zhao, I won’t tease you anymore.”
The one-eyed woman laughed heartily.
“I definitely won’t take this batch of equipment orders for free. However, our Northern Cross has indeed been short of funds recently, so I’ll be thick-skinned and purchase them at a 30% discount according to the price you gave me at the beginning, Boss Zhao.”
“What? How can that be…”
Zhao Jie was overjoyed in his heart, but he still had to pretend on the surface. However, Nan seemed to have had enough of teasing Zhao Jie. She began to straighten her expression and directly waved her hand to interrupt.
“Boss Zhao, it’s settled regarding the order. There’s no need to say anything else. I want to know more now. Can you arrange for me to meet him…”
Before Nan could finish her sentence, a knocking sound came from outside the room.
Zhao Jie frowned and thought to himself that he had clearly instructed the others not to disturb him. However, after the knock on the door, the crisp voice of a young lady followed.
“Uncle Zhao, can I come in?”
Nan couldn’t recognize the voice, but Zhao Jie was too familiar with it. He quickly got up and opened the door under Nan’s curious gaze. He happily invited the owner of the voice in.
Before Zhao Jie could introduce her, Nan stood up on her own initiative. After all, judging from the clothes of the girl who had just entered the room, her characteristics were too obvious. She stretched out her hand and said,
“I think this should be the famous… Miss Fox Witch?”
“It’s a pleasure to meet you, Captain Nan.”Vivian returned the greeting politely and reached out to shake Nan’s hand.
At the same time, a small wolf cub followed behind the fox-faced witch and walked into the room openly. Nan Gang subconsciously wanted to take a few more glances at the small wolf cub, but unfortunately, as the fox-faced witch continued to speak, he had to pull his attention back.
“Captain Nan, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to eavesdrop, but when I was outside the door, I happened to hear you mention my colleague, so…”
Vivian paused for a moment and said according to what Blackie had told her,”
“Captain Nan, because our operation involves confidential information, please forgive us. No matter how much you ask Uncle Zhao, he can’t reveal too much to you, let alone arrange for you to meet him.”
As soon as the little girl finished speaking, Zhao Jie felt his trousers being tugged slightly. He looked down and found that it was Vivian, the wolf cub, who was secretly hooking her claws.
Hence, Zhao Jie immediately understood and quickly echoed Nan,
“Uh… Yes, yes! I’m really sorry, Miss Nan. You know that many departments in Gui Li are so secretive about the five elements. There are many rules and regulations, and they are very strict. I hope Miss Nan can forgive me.”
Nan only took a few seconds to get a response before she immediately expressed that she didn’t care.”Where did I go? I didn’t expect to see such a brand-new place on Sakura Island. I’m sure the person behind this must be a powerful person, so I couldn’t help but want to get to know him. In this case, I didn’t think it through.””
Perhaps because Vivian was here, Zhao Jie was more confident. He immediately asked Nan the question that he was most concerned about.
“By the way, Miss Nan, since we have become friends through fighting, then I, Old Zhao, will not fool you anymore. That’s right, the businessman who fled overseas in debt that you mentioned earlier was indeed me. However, you said that the debt was eliminated and you seem to know my daughter.”
Nan pondered for a moment as if she was sorting out her words. Soon, a smile appeared on her face and she said to the nervous middle-aged merchant opposite her,
“Boss Zhao, if we have to start this story from the beginning, then let me think… About seven or eight years ago, I saved a young girl whom they called a liar from a group of angry merchants.”
” Later on, that young lady told me that she wasn’t lying. It was just that the methods she used were too rash and greedy, which angered the public. The reason for this was that her family was ruined. Her father ran away in debt, and her mother had a high fever in bed because she didn’t have the money to treat her illness. She urgently needed a large sum of money.”
At that time, she was concerned about her medical expenses, but who knew that she had only passed the years, the young girl had appeared in front of me, and was actively looking for a door-to-door, she first returned the original medical expenses to me, and then funded the North Cross, a large sum of money, said that it was a bonus, she told me, now she had entered the great name, the five elements, the five elements, the five elements, and the future.”
” With the Pavilion Master’s help, she has already paid off the debt her father owed back then. Therefore, she took this opportunity to not only return to thank me, but also to hope that the Northern Cross, which has traveled far and wide, can help her find her father.”
” Naturally, I accepted this commission. Unfortunately, I’ve been suffering from too little information. It’s easier said than done to find a person in the huge Nine Nations. However, perhaps this is fate. Boss Zhao, the Astorokis that you were on was previously mistaken for a sunken ship. I accidentally saw your name on the list of victims, so I wanted to try my luck and see if it was the same person. Later… Boss Zhao will know.”
Zhao Jie’s expression fluctuated with Nan’s words. His calloused hands were tightly clenched, especially at the beginning of the story.
Luckily, in the end, Zhao Jie let out a long sigh. Other than feeling deeply guilty, there was also joy.
“Xing ‘er, she’s working at Qilin Pavilion now!?”
“Uh… Yes, and now they had become the most trusted subordinates of the current Pavilion Master, uh… One of the secretaries.” Nan affirmed.
Meanwhile, Zhao Jie almost lost his balance.
Her daughter was actually working in Qilin Pavilion! He actually…He was even chosen by the pavilion master! She became a secretary!
Zhao Jie held back his head that was about to faint from happiness.
In this way, many things could be explained.
For example, how did his poor daughter get to know Liao Zixuan, whose identity was so confidential in Xuanwu Pass, and how Nan suddenly and accurately came to find him.
“So, Boss Zhao, I believe in Yu…” Ahem, Xing ‘Er must miss you very much. Why don’t you board our Northern Cross now and we’ll leave immediately and return to Guili?”
Under Nan’s suggestion to strike while the iron was hot, if it was Zhao Jie from before, he would definitely agree without a second word. But now…
He thought about his career on Sakuragi Island, which had just started.
Then, he thought about it carefully. Although Xing ‘er was now in a high position, she would definitely face more challenges. He had owed Xing’ er for the past ten years. If he could not compensate and help Xing ‘er in the future, how could he have the face to see Xing’ er?
No!
He could not go back like this!
At least not now!
After Zhao Jie made up his mind, he felt much more relaxed. It was as if even the little wolf cub, who had been lying on the sofa beside him, was raising its little paws and praising his courage and decision.
“I refuse!”
