Chapter 312 The Second Friendship Meeting
The two chatted for a while, and Li Ran received a call, telling Cui Jian that Zheng Yu had left South Korea. As for where he went, Duanmu did not say, only that the special forces captain had made arrangements. Huang Zhuiling was valid for 90 days, and Huang Zhuiling had compromised. As long as 90 days passed, no one would chase Zheng Yu anymore.

There is also good news. In addition to the part of the remuneration that should be received, Zheng Yu gave each person another red envelope of 50 US dollars. Each person refers to Gui Yi and Cui Jian. Zhang Hao still received a salary of several thousand US dollars a day.

Gui Yi received $160 million from this project, and after deducting 42% income tax, he still received nearly $ million. Although this amount of money is not enough to buy a house in a core school district, it is enough to pay the down payment for a house in a core school district, or to buy a house in a less core school district in full.

However, after visiting Cui Jian's home, Gui Yi felt that buying a villa was not impossible. Facing a wife who made a lot of money, Zhang Hao's opinion was insignificant.

After saying goodbye to Li Ran, Cui Jian took a car to the supermarket to buy some food ingredients, contacted Gui Yi, Duanmu and Zhang Hao, and invited them to return to Hancheng for lunch.

Cooking is Cui Jian’s hobby and also one of his ways to relieve stress.

After lunch, everyone helped clean up and made tea in the living room. The topic of conversation at the table was food, and the topic of conversation while making tea was Zhang Hao. The couple had not yet discussed whether Zhang Hao should return to the Zhendiu group or become the captain of the B team.

In the Zheng Yu project, Zhang Hao truly understood what Taixi meant when he said that it was difficult to earn dollars. He was even more worried about letting Gui Yi stay in the Duanmu group, but he knew that he could not convince Gui Yi, and even if he did, Gui Yi might not be happy.

After getting permission, the couple visited the courtyard and the villa. Gui Yi imagined buying a villa in the school district, how to decorate it, plant a fruit tree, raise a dog, and so on.

On the first floor, Cui Jian and Duanmu were each holding a mobile phone, making tea, sitting on the carpet, and enjoying the quiet afternoon.

Duanmu swiped his phone, paused, and looked at it quietly for a while. Duanmu put away his phone, walked to the courtyard, looked up at the autumn breeze, closed his eyes and bathed in the sunshine.

Duanmu said: "Life is beautiful. Just like the autumn wind and sunshine now, it brings positive energy to people."

Cui Jian said: "It brings comfort, and comfort is the worst way to wear down one's will."

Duanmu turned to look at Cui Jian and asked, "A life of ease or a life of struggle?"

Cui Jian said: "Didn't you choose the latter? What's wrong? Is there anything that made you realize something?"

Duanmu came back and sat down in front of Cui Jian, and said seriously: "The information of Xingfu Company's second auction was sent to me."

Cui Jian asked: "Is there anyone you are attracted to?"

Duanmu replied: "Someone I know. How should I put it? Something may happen now, but I don't know how it will happen."

Cui Jian looked at Duanmu in confusion. Duanmu waved his hands in the air for a long time before he thought of the right words. He said, "Let me give you an inappropriate example. I was pursuing a goddess, but she was distant to me. At the same time, a woman was pursuing me, and I tried to agree to go on a date with the woman to watch a movie together. At the entrance of the cinema, I met the goddess who was shopping alone and buying a gift for my birthday next week."

Cui Jian said: "It is indeed inappropriate." I don't know what the hell you are going to say.

Duanmu said: "It is unavoidable at this time, and the two sides will definitely encounter each other, so there are many possibilities. One possibility is that the goddess covers her face and walks away, and I chase her and we talk to each other. Another possibility is that the goddess slaps me first, throws the gift on me and leaves. Anyway, there are many possibilities. In other words, this encounter is a variable. I have no idea how the situation will develop, or even if it will develop."

Cui Jiandao: "Please speak Korean, English is also fine."

Duanmu thought for a while, took out his phone from his pocket, unlocked it, and handed it to Cui Jian: "His name is Liu Sheng, and he is the Seven Killing Hellhound."

Cui Jian took the phone, took a look at it, then stood up and looked at Duanmu in disbelief: "This... what is this... what... Xingfu Company made the Seven Killing Hellhounds into human-shaped dogs?" Cui Jian was incoherent for a moment and finally managed to utter a complete sentence.

Duanmu asked, "Why is your reaction bigger than mine?"

Cui Jian covered his head with his hand and said, "This, this is too unbelievable. How did the Seven Killing Hellhounds become human-shaped dogs?"

After Liu Sheng left Qi Sha, the special forces gave him a new identity. However, because he was still in love with the goddess Zhang Ya, when he returned to Hancheng to participate in Zhang Ya's activities, Bai Qi captured Liu Sheng under the arrangement of Fei Di and detained him in the dungeon of the villa for several months.

Soon after, Liu Sheng took a civil aviation flight to Kyoto alone with a new identity. After investigation by Yiyi and others, it was confirmed that Liu Sheng took the civil aviation flight voluntarily.

Cui Jian was worried about Liu Sheng, so he asked the investigators to find out more about Liu Sheng's situation. However, investigator Yu Ming encountered other situations during the investigation and suspended the investigation.

From the above information, it can be seen that Liu Sheng was willing to become a human-shaped dog. This is illogical. If Liu Sheng was willing to become a human-shaped dog, why didn't he sell himself out?

Duanmu did not doubt it and nodded: "I am also very shocked. There are more than seven billion people on the earth. Why would Xingfu Company challenge Qi Sha? I can't understand it at all."

Cui Jian has calmed down: "How do you know he is a hellhound?"

Duanmu replied: "It should be said that he is a former hellhound. Don't worry about why I know that."

Cui Jian said: "Since he is a former hellhound, he has nothing to do with Qi Sha."

Duanmu said: "Yes, theoretically it has nothing to do with Qi Sha. But what about in reality? Qi Sha can't help but investigate this matter. If Qi Sha and his group of barbarians investigate, there will be corpses everywhere. I don't know how the situation will develop."

Cui Jian asked, "Is it related to the special forces?"

Duanmu smiled bitterly: "There is some relationship. We, the special forces, prefer to develop peacefully with Qi Sha. I don't know why Liu Sheng became Qi Sha, so I don't know how the situation will develop. As I just said, there are various possibilities."

Cui Jian thought of a tripartite agreement, an agreement agreed upon by the special forces, the executives and the seven killers. Duanmu knew that Liu Sheng had been imprisoned in the dungeon of Xue Bing's villa.

Cui Jian didn't know what happened, and the information he knew was contradictory. For example, Liu Sheng was imprisoned in a dungeon, but he voluntarily flew to Kyoto. Did Liu Sheng volunteer to be a humanoid dog, or was he forced? At that time, Xue Bing's husband Fidi was the real president of Nemo, under the command of Luke, which was equivalent to Luke detaining Liu Sheng. After Xue Bing and his wife divorced, who would be held responsible for this? Imprisoning Liu Sheng would not be a reason for Qi Sha to intervene, but the former member of Qi Sha became a humanoid dog, and Qi Sha would investigate it thoroughly.

There are still many questions. The biggest question is, why did Xingfu Company choose Liu Sheng? Do they have to challenge Qisha's bottom line? Are they planning to start with the people who left Qisha in disgrace? The next step is the people who left, then the associate members, and then the members of Qisha headquarters.

Cui Jian forced a smile and said, "It seems like you won't be able to take this vacation."

Duanmu didn't pay attention to Cui Jian, and sighed to himself: "So I hate fancy moves, even though I like them." He likes to mess around, but he hates others doing so.

Duanmu was not sure if there was a real culprit behind this. If there was, it would be a big deal because there were too many factors that were out of control. For example, Qi Sha, no one knew how Qi Sha would deal with Liu Sheng, not even Qi Sha himself, because Qi Sha did not have a clear agenda. When encountering such incidents, the housekeeper would discuss with the members of Qi Sha headquarters and make the decision.

Gui Yi's voice interrupted their thoughts. She and Zhang Hao came in from outside and asked, "Cui Jian, which company designed your garden?"

Cui Jian said: "A little girl, but she is preparing for the college entrance examination recently."

Gui Yi said: "College entrance examination? It's already September."

Zhang Hao explained: "The Korean college entrance examination is in November."

Gui Yi said: "Then after she finishes her exams, can you introduce us to each other?"

Cui Jian said: "Of course, sit here and have some tea."

As they were talking, the doorbell rang, and the Duanmu family sent a batch of snacks. The maid, led by the housekeeper, put the snacks made by the chef on the table. Gui Yi then realized that the Duanmu family was nearby. Gui Yi looked at Zhang Hao, look, a villa per capita, a villa in the center of the city. Zhang Hao smiled awkwardly and asked, "Does Sister Diudiu live nearby too?"

Cui Jian looked at Duanmu uncertainly: "Zhenzhen lives not far away, in Taohua Villa Community, about 8 kilometers away. Right?" The house has been renovated, but they have not officially moved in yet.

Duanmu nodded: "That's right. Diudiu bought a villa halfway up the mountain."

Cui Jian explained: "Banshan Villa is a wealthy area, a bit far from here."

Zhang Hao showed a smile that was uglier than crying. It seemed that the purchase of the villa was settled. Zhang Hao leaned closer and asked, "Cui Jian, how can we increase the success rate of the project?"

Cui Jian was stumped by the question, what is the project success rate?

Duanmu said on the side: "What you want to say is how to make more money and take less risks, right?"

Zhang Hao nodded: "Yes." It's not shameful to make money and cherish your life.

Cui Jian thought seriously for a while: "First of all, you have to be careful about the projects recommended by Manager Li, especially those he says have low risks and high rewards. It is better to screen the projects yourself and don't believe him. I don't mean to say that Manager Li wants to cheat you, but he has a natural talent for disaster. There is basically no safe project he recommends. Not only us, but also the Zhen Diu team."

Duanmu listened to Cui Jian's explanation. When he and Cui Jian first became partners, Cui Jian said very little and showed little goodwill. If Gui Yi, who had been with him through thick and thin, asked, he would give a brief introduction. Now, when faced with questions about Gui Yi's husband, Cui Jian would explain everything in detail.

Duanmu began to doubt whether Cui Jian's so-called emotional apathy was true or not. Of course, it could also be that he was influenced by his great personality charm and cured his mental illness?

Cui Jian is relatively patient with his friends. He was patient with Zhang Hao because they had worked together for several days, and Zhang Hao's problems were Gui Yi's problems. When Duanmu became Cui Jian's partner, Cui Jian was not familiar with the people around him, and he did not actively express his interest in goodwill.

Cui Jian finally said: "It is not the case that the lower the reward, the lower the risk."

Gui Yi asked curiously: "Why are the risks of our group's projects so high?"

Cui Jian said: "On the one hand, it was because of Manager Li's kindness. On the other hand, although we knew in advance that there were huge risks, we still took on the project for some reasons. Another reason is that our team is very small. In the early days, there were only Duanmu and I, and we were unable to intimidate the professional team, especially Sanqin."

Gui Yi nodded: "It is said that Sanqin is now avoiding the projects undertaken by Bodyguard Group A."

Cui Jian thought for a while and said, "That's probably it."

Duanmu asked, "Gui Yi, have you ever considered settling in Korea?"

Guiyi replied: “Our elders are against immigration.”

Duanmu said: "I have a suggestion for you. You can transfer your child's household registration to Hong Kong. Hong Kong accepts dual citizenship by default."

Non-HK residents who become citizens of Maple Leaf Country are equivalent to giving up their nationality. HK is different. HK residents who hold Maple Leaf Country nationality will not be recognized as Maple Leaf Country nationality unless they actively declare it. This is a way to get visa-free convenience without losing Chinese nationality. If you want to hang out abroad, you can take out your Maple Leaf Country passport, and if you want to hang out in China, you can take out your ID card. This is also an important reason why many celebrities have moved their household registration to HK.

The couple looked at each other and saw thoughts in each other's eyes. Gui Yi asked about the next work arrangement. Cui Jian said that Manager Li considered that the recent work intensity was too high and asked the team to take a break for a while. At least within three weeks, under normal circumstances, the team would not take any projects.

Gui Yi asked curiously, what is a normal situation? Cui Jian gave an example, if the brothers and sisters of a team member are threatened with life, they can negotiate with the team members and accept the commission at a low price. However, the specific situation should be analyzed specifically.

In the face of Gui Yi's confusion, Cui Jian further explained that, for example, in the case of Duanmu's father, the project remuneration was very high, and there was no such thing as owing a favor. Everyone took the project for the remuneration, not because Zheng Yu was Duanmu's father.

Duanmu added: If a problem can be solved with money, don’t owe anyone a favor.

……

Eight o'clock in the evening, Xifeng Mountain, at the door of the administrator's office.

Shengzi opened the casserole, revealing steaming black pork, cabbage and sweet potato noodles. He passed the bowl and chopsticks to Cui Jian in front of him and asked him to join in the fun.

Ten minutes ago, Cui Jian reported Liu Sheng to the housekeeper, who was verifying the situation and asked Cui Jian to wait. Shengzi knew Cui Jian would come early in the morning and prepared dinner.

Shengzi asked, "Are you worried about Liu Sheng?"

Cui Jian shook his head: "Actually, I don't like him very much. I look down on his incompetent behavior, and I am a little jealous that he can find the true love of his life. Generally speaking, we get along well at work, but the chats after work are not always pleasant."

Shengzi asked with a smile: "What about the small talk with me?"

Cui Jian also smiled: "It's very pleasant."

Shengzi was very satisfied. He added two large spoonfuls of food to Cui Jian's bowl and asked, "Does the organization care about this?"

Cui Jian said: "It depends on the situation. In my personal opinion, we should first find out whether Liu Sheng is willing to become a human-shaped dog."

Katsuko nodded. "He has no wife or children. He flew to Kyoto alone on a commercial airline. This means he had countless opportunities to ask for help, from passers-by, from the police, and even from us."

Cui Jian: "But he has a weak spot: Zhang Ya. It's a very strange thing. If everything goes according to logic, someone should be causing trouble for me now."

Shengzi said: "That means Liu Sheng hasn't betrayed you yet."

Cui Jian: “This goes against the definition of a humanoid dog.” The humanoid dog at the first auction retained all of its memories.

Shengzi said, "I suspect that Xingfu Company's intention is to insult and provoke us. Cui Jian, if you want to investigate, how will you investigate?"

Cui Jian: "I just told the housekeeper that the investigator had accepted my commission and later returned the commission. Therefore, we may need to investigate this matter ourselves."

Shengzi asked: "How to investigate?"

Cui Jian: "Just investigate directly."

Shengzi was puzzled, and Cui Jian pulled out a gun and pointed it at the can in front of him: "You only have one chance."

Shengzi asked, "Wouldn't this violate our principle of taking action?"

Cui Jian put away his gun and said, "No, they were involved in the incident against us knowingly. The only way to survive is to cooperate well."
