Living like a salted fish in the end times

"Hehe, if Mr. Silva doesn't want to believe it, then forget it, as if I didn't say it."

Zhang Hao looked indifferent.

"No, no..." Mr. Silva quickly remedied: "I would like to believe it, but I didn't expect the surprise to come so suddenly, and I didn't react for a while."

Zhang Hao nodded with a smile, and further added: "I only give you three years. If within three years, you still haven't achieved any results, then you can only..."

The reason why he did this was also to put a little pressure on the other party. Only when there is pressure will there be motivation.

"Consul, I understand what you mean. If it's as you said, we don't need you to speak at that time, and we will consciously pack up and leave."

Silva made a quick statement.

As the saying goes, if you can't bear a child, you can't catch a wolf.

He has secretly made up his mind that in the next three years, not only will he not take any profits from the company, but he will also invest a large sum in scientific research.

Zhang Hao nodded in satisfaction: "Do it well, I hope I didn't see the wrong person."

Soon, under Tang Weimu's hint, Mr. Silva left the room on his own initiative.

"Consul, it seems that you are really optimistic about the sargassum project."

"There is no way, let alone now, it is estimated that in ten or 20 years, food shortage will still be the most important contradiction, and we cannot give up any opportunities."

Zhang Hao said earnestly.

Tang Weimu immediately echoed: "Consul, you are still wise. I am ashamed to say that I have been in Rio de Janeiro for more than six years, but I didn't realize the potential value of Sargassum ice algae."

"It's not too late to realize that, except for Venezuela, the whole of South America lacks pillar industries. I hope you can seize this opportunity."

Zhang Hao took the opportunity to remind.

Tang Weimu nodded again and again: "Consul, your business vision is well-known, we will definitely do our best, but..."

"Just what?"

"It's just that it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice. This time, I wonder if we can leave some more for us?"

Zhang Hao touched his chin calmly: "I will help you get % at most..."

"Is forty percent a little low?"

"I won't hide it from you. The central government plans to build a new South Atlantic Fleet and vigorously strengthen anti-smuggling efforts. After all, these taxes are still used on you."

When Tang Weimu heard the words, he was half happy and half worried.

On the one hand, the Federation has stronger control over South America. For them, at least their personal safety is safe; on the other hand, the city's financial revenue will definitely drop sharply, and the original balance will inevitably be broken. I don't know if it will cause a chain reaction.

Zhang Hao didn't wait for Tang Weimu to speak, and said with a final word: "That's the decision. You try to focus on seaweed research. The central government has no requirements for your political achievements. Everything is still based on maintaining stability."

"Consul, I understand."

Tang Weimu nodded solemnly.

……

In order to collect taxes, Zhang Hao specially stayed in Rio de Janeiro for two days.

On April 4th, the day when the delegation set off again.

Yang Haoxuan brought Suzanne's mother and daughter to the port, accompanied by Suzanne's former boss Deborah, who came to see him off.

"Mr. Yang..."

"Ms. Deborah, you should call me Xiao Yang! Don't worry, I will take good care of Nana and their mother and daughter, and promise not to let them suffer a little bit."

Deborah stared closely at Yang Haoxuan's eyes, and said with a stern face, "Xiao Yang, I don't know what method you used to make Suzanne desperate...to do such an irrational thing..."

Susanna hurriedly interrupted: "Boss, you misunderstood. It wasn't Yang Haoxuan who used tricks, but I took the initiative to pester him. I believe in my own vision."

"You, it's too late to regret it now." Deborah paused, and persuaded earnestly: "Oh, you two have only known each other for a few days? You trust him so much? Aren't you afraid of being betrayed?"

"No, I've already verified that Yang Haoxuan is indeed an aide in the residence of the Consul, and this cannot be faked." Suzanne explained patiently.

Yang Haoxuan immediately cooperated and took out his work card: "Ms. Deborah, this is my work card. Would you like to confirm it again?"

"No need, even if your identity is real, you can't rule out ulterior motives."

Deborah snorted coldly.

Susanna was her right-hand man, how could she be willing to be kidnapped like this?

Yang Haoxuan put away his work permit and shrugged his shoulders: "Ms. Deborah, you are looking at me through tinted glasses. It is useless for me to explain more. Only time will tell."

"You'd better tell the truth. Although my father has no real power, he still has some connections in the political world. If you dare to bully Susanna, including the Marinho family, we will definitely not let you go."

Deborah said nonchalantly.

Yang Haoxuan nodded and did not argue again.

To be honest, he didn't take the other party's warning seriously at all. In terms of relationship, his brother-in-law directly killed all the so-called wealthy families in Brazil.

Deborah saw that Susanna was determined and there was no way to hold her back, so she had no choice but to take out a bank card and stuff it into little Beth's hand.

"Boss, are you?"

Susannah wondered.

"You have done a good job in recent years and helped the company make a lot of money. This is a dividend for you."

Deborah explained casually.

Susanna immediately shook her head: "I have a salary, I can't accept this money."

"Don't shirk it. You haven't saved any money to support your children these past few years. If Yang Haoxuan bullies you one day, you and little Beth don't hesitate to buy a ticket to come back."

Deborah touched little Beth's head after she finished speaking.

Suzanne was instantly moved, and finally said with a crying voice: "Thank you, boss!"

"Ms. Deborah, good boss of the Federation!"

Yang Haoxuan gave a thumbs up.

Deborah said unhappily: "Why are you so happy? You are not allowed to touch the money. If you dare to make up your mind, be careful that I will deduct your commission, and then directly compensate Susanna."

Just on the way here, she happened to receive news that the stolen yacht had been recovered.

Maybe it was because of the scruples of the inspection team, but this time the police acted very quickly and returned the yacht within a few days.

If I knew this earlier, I should have suppressed the commission at the beginning.

At least half of it should be pressed down.

"Ms. Deborah, you look down on me too much. How about I don't want that money. How about you just save it for Nana?"

Yang Haoxuan put on a generous look.

Anyway, my brother-in-law said that he would not be allowed to touch the money.

Deborah glanced at the person in front of her in surprise. She didn't expect this result, and at the same time she was relieved that Susannah was right.

Suzanne was also surprised, and she pulled the arm of her new boyfriend with joy: "My dear, there is no need to make any fuss, I believe you are just right."

"You don't have to persuade me, it's settled."

Yang Haoxuan waved his hand.

"Okay." Deborah nodded with satisfaction, "With your words, I feel relieved."

Afterwards, the two sides talked for a long time, and it wasn't until the farewell ceremony was about to end that Yang Haoxuan boarded the shuttle boat with Susanna and her daughter.

"Take care all the way! Remember to call me."

Susanna waved her daughter's little hand: "Boss, goodbye! Come and visit me in the capital when you have time."

"Most definitely."

Ms. Deborah nodded earnestly.

Half an hour later, the three of Yang Haoxuan boarded "Navy One".

Susanna couldn't help exclaiming: "This boat is really big!"

"Come on, I'll take you to meet the consul."

Yang Haoxuan didn't intend to hide it, but he was afraid of affecting the other party's judgment. If he had a choice, he certainly hoped that the relationship between the two parties could be purer.

"The Consul?" Suzanne was a little surprised, and frowned subconsciously: "The Consul should be very busy, right? How can I have time to meet a small person like me?"

"Don't worry, with me here, the Consul must have time." Yang Haoxuan smiled confidently.

"real or fake?"

"If you don't believe me, come with me."

Yang Haoxuan hugged little Beth from his girlfriend's arms, then turned around and walked towards the consul's office.

When he arrived at the door of the office, he greeted the two Secret Service agents, and then knocked on the door.

"Dong dong dong..."

"Come in!"

Zhang Hao said without raising his head.

He has accumulated a lot of official documents in the past few days, and he is rushing to deal with them. Although he is on a "business trip" now, he is as busy as usual.

Yang Haoxuan hugged little Beth with one hand, twisted the doorknob with the other hand, and pushed the door straight in:

"cough……"

Hearing his brother-in-law's voice, Zhang Hao laughed and cursed casually: "Stinky boy, where have you been these few days? I thought you were missing?"

Susanna took a deep look at her boyfriend. She didn't expect him to be so close to the consul. This was completely the attitude of an elder towards a junior.

"Brother-in-law, can I take a moment of your time?"

Yang Haoxuan spoke slowly.

Suzanne froze when she heard the name "brother-in-law", with disbelief in her eyes.

Zhang Hao finally raised his head, and what caught his eyes was the girl doll in his brother-in-law's arms, and the beauties beside him, and he recognized each other's identities on the spot.

Yang Haoxuan hurriedly introduced: "This is what I told you, my new girlfriend Suzanne, you can call her Nana."

"Nana, welcome, sit down wherever you want."

Zhang Hao stood up immediately.

Yang Haoxuan pulled his girlfriend to sit on the sofa, and then pointed to the child in his arms: "This is Nana's daughter, Little Beth, who is three years old this year."

"Little Beth, say hello to Uncle!"

Susanna reacted and taught immediately.

Little Beth's Daxia dialect is very standard, without any accent: "Hello, Uncle!"

Zhang Hao took out a bag of beef jerky from the drawer, handed it to the little girl's arms, then rubbed her hair, and said, "You're so cute!"

After speaking, he sat across from the two of them.

Susanna took a sneak look at the Consul. He looked more energetic than the news, and he was also more imposing, with an aura that was not angry but powerful.

She spat nervously, and then boldly asked: "Consul..."

"There are no outsiders here, just like Yang Haoxuan, you can also call me brother-in-law."

Zhang Hao interrupted with a smile.

"Sister...brother-in-law, I want to ask, are you really Yang Haoxuan's brother-in-law? Why do I feel like I'm dreaming?"

"It's guaranteed to be fake." Zhang Hao nodded, "What? He didn't tell you about me?"

"No, he kept it from me before he entered the door." Suzanne pretended to be aggrieved.

She didn't expect that she would be so lucky to find the Consul's brother-in-law casually.

Although the brother-in-law is not as good as the consul's own children, it is already the best choice for her. If people in the family know this, her family status will undoubtedly rise significantly.

Zhang Haoxuan smiled, and immediately helped to set up a cover: "Nana, don't blame him, he has always been such a person, and he doesn't want to get involved with me, for fear that others will say that he got to the top through nepotism."

"Brother-in-law, I'm just too lazy to say it. It's not as exaggerated as you said. Besides, it's just a staff member. I don't care at all. When the inspection is over, I will resign immediately."

Yang Haoxuan cooperated.

"Nana, have you seen it? Is there any major problem with him, just one thing, he will suffer for his face."

Zhang Hao laughed and joked.

Susannah covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, you are so right. Yang Haoxuan is good at everything, but he is a bit chauvinistic and likes to make decisions for me."

The commission incident that happened just now is actually the best evidence.

"Nana, don't worry. After the two of you get married, if he becomes machismo again, just tell me and I'll teach him a lesson."

Zhang Hao calmed down casually.

Yang Haoxuan was dissatisfied and was about to refute.

Not wanting to be preempted by Suzanne, she showed a bit of shyness: "Brother-in-law, it's okay, machismo is also a manifestation of responsibility, and that's what I admire most about him."

"Well, there is no fixed pattern for getting along between husband and wife, as long as the two of you feel comfortable."

Zhang Hao smiled knowingly.

……

Fifteen minutes later, Yang Haoxuan returned to his room with Susanna and her daughter.

As soon as she entered the door, Suzanne hugged her boyfriend tightly from behind: "Honey, are you serious?"

"What do you mean? I didn't understand."

"I mean our relationship, are you serious? Or is it just for fun?"

Suzanne explained patiently.

Her boyfriend's background made her a little unconfident.

Yang Haoxuan nodded immediately, and said without hesitation: "Of course I'm serious. I've brought you to meet your parents. Don't you have any worries?"

"Where did you see your parents?"

Susannah grumbled.

"To tell you the truth, my brother-in-law's opinion is more effective than my parents'. As long as he agrees, there will be no problem with my sister and my parents. Don't worry!"

Yang Haoxuan patted his girlfriend's arm with his hands.

for comfort.

Suzanne breathed a sigh of relief, but soon became anxious again: "If you don't see me in the end, what should I do?"

"Hehe...it's simple..." Yang Haoxuan put down little Beth, then leaned into his girlfriend's ear, and teased softly: "I can't stand the temptation. You usually dress up more seductively and make more tricks. How can I escape your palm?"

Suzanne blushed when she thought of the beautiful uniforms her boyfriend had bought for her.

Seeing this, Yang Haoxuan deliberately urged:
"Can you? Give me a word?"

Suzanne put her heart to one side, and said coyly, "Which outfit do you like? I'll show you how to wear it tomorrow."

"Don't wait for tomorrow, or just now?"

Yang Haoxuan said impatiently.

"Not now, I'm not ready yet."

Susannah bit her lip and shook her head.

"Hey, what is there to prepare for? It's broad daylight, are you still afraid that I'm plotting something wrong?"

Yang Haoxuan said with a wicked smile.

"You're not right, where is the daylight now?"

"Okay, then wear it at night, can you go to the head office now?"

"You promise not to do bad things first!"

"Uh……"
