Unorthodox methods, cultivating immortality relies on rich women
Chapter 138 Ant Hole Star-Fixing Chart
"You could actually stay a few more days," Chang Shengli said upon seeing Shen Qingzhou return.
"I don't have any money."
"The girl left you over ten thousand yuan, and the hotel compensated you with several thousand yuan. It's all here with me, enough for you to stay for a while longer," Chang Shengli said.
He misunderstood, thinking that Shen Qingzhou meant that they didn't have money for food and a hotel.
But what Shen Qingzhou actually meant by "no money" was that the orphanage's account was empty, and if they didn't hurry back to find a way to earn some money, the children would go hungry.
Moreover, Jiang Xinyue had already contacted him and told him about Bai Yukui, who was a big cash cow. So he was very eager to get back the five million he had lost from Bai Yukui.
Seeing that Shen Qingzhou remained silent, Chang Shengli sighed with regret and said, "She was a good girl; it would be a real pity to miss out on her."
"How do you know she's a good girl?" Shen Qingzhou teased with a smile.
"I've been a criminal investigator for so many years, and judging people is my specialty," Chang Shengli said with considerable confidence.
"Oh, what do you think of me?"
"I don't think you're a good person."
Chang Shengli thought that if he said that, Shen Qingzhou would get angry with him and argue with him.
Unexpectedly, he chuckled and said, "Uncle Chang, you have a really good eye for people."
……
"Excuse me, is anyone home?" Lin Yunxiu knocked on the door.
She took a bus from the town to the city early in the morning, and it was only a little past eight o'clock. Worried that the office might not be open yet, she waited outside for a while before coming up.
"Someone's here, please come in." Upon hearing the voice, Jiang Xinyue quickly stood up and went out to greet them.
Xiao Qiu heard the sound and ran over first. When she saw Lin Yunxiu, she was stunned.
"Curly-haired sister?"
She was a little confused, feeling that something seemed off.
Jiang Xinyue walked to the door and saw Lin Yunong. Without thinking much, she asked directly, "Yunong, you're back? Where's Xiaozhou?"
Then it suddenly dawned on him that this wasn't Lin Yunong. He hadn't lit the incense, so he shouldn't have been able to see her.
The fact that Jiang Xinyue calls Lin Yunong "Yunong" shows that the two have gotten along quite well during this time. Although they haven't reached the point of fighting over the microphone, they are like sisters.
Lin Yunxiu never expected that she would have such an unexpected gain as soon as she entered the door.
He raised an eyebrow slightly, staring at Jiang Xinyue and asked, "Do you know my sister?"
"Oh, so you're Yu Nong's sister. No wonder you look so alike. Are you twins? Come in and sit down."
Jiang Xinyue pretended to be enthusiastic in greeting the other party, but in reality she was panicking and quickly figuring out how to explain herself.
Lin Yunxiu walked in, her expression cold, and said in a slightly forceful tone, "You haven't answered my question yet?"
Jiang Xinyue was somewhat surprised, as it was clear that the two sisters had completely different personalities.
Lin Yunong is like a naive and innocent young girl, while Lin Yunxiu is more like an elite white-collar worker in the city, shrewd and capable, and not easily fooled.
This made Jiang Xinyue a little nervous. In her nervousness, she blurted out, "I used to know your sister, so I mistook you for her just now."
"My sister has passed away," Lin Yunxiu said.
"Really? When did this happen?" Jiang Xinyue asked, feigning surprise.
Lin Yunxiu didn't speak, but instead looked at the table opposite her.
Lin Yunong's memorial tablet is placed on top.
If it were an ordinary person, they might have some taboos about memorial tablets, but Shen Qingzhou has even slept with "people," so why would he have any taboos about these things?
So after I got it back, I just put it on the table as a decorative item.
This is probably unique in the whole world.
Jiang Xinyue followed her gaze and her cheeks instantly turned red. Being caught red-handed lying was incredibly embarrassing.
Lin Yunxiu withdrew her gaze, not dwelling on the question, but instead asked with a somewhat complicated expression, "How is my sister?"
Jiang Xinyue didn't answer the question, but instead asked, "Would you like some water?"
Without Shen Qingzhou's instructions, Jiang Xinyue would not discuss this matter casually with others.
Seeing that Jiang Xinyue was unwilling to answer, Lin Yunxiu decided to meet with Shen Qingzhou first.
Is Shen Qingzhou here? I want to see him.
This time, Jiang Xinyue answered her question, "He went out and hasn't come back yet."
Lin Yunxiu also realized that the first thing the other person said to her, the "small boat" mentioned, must be Shen Qingzhou.
So your sister went out with her?
Looking at the somewhat apprehensive Jiang Xinyue, Lin Yunxiu suddenly smiled and introduced herself, "My name is Lin Yunxiu, and I am Lin Yunong's younger sister."
"Hello, my name is Jiang Xinyue." Jiang Xinyue quickly introduced herself, and then added, "When the boss comes back, I will tell him to contact you."
"Okay, thank you for your help." Lin Yunxiu said this, without any intention of leaving her contact information.
Since her older sister really "lives" here, she would know how to contact her, needless to say.
Lin Yunxiu was a very smart person. Knowing that she wouldn't get anything out of Jiang Xinyue, she didn't press the matter further. Instead, she carefully looked around the office, even picking up the memorial tablet on the table to examine it, before taking her leave.
She went downstairs, but instead of going back, she went to the giraffe welfare home.
Seeing Lin Yunxiu leave, Jiang Xinyue quickly called Shen Qingzhou, who hadn't even boarded the plane yet.
He was both surprised and unsurprised to hear that Lin Yunxiu had come looking for him.
After all, he hadn't hidden his identity, so it wasn't surprising that Lin Yunxiu had come looking for him based on the information he left behind. She was just a little surprised that he arrived so quickly.
"Don't worry about her. Just call Bai Yukui and tell her I'll be back this afternoon."
Shen Qingzhou, who was short of money, was now quite impatient.
"OK."
Jiang Xinyue responded and then called Bai Yukui directly after hanging up the phone.
So when Shen Qingzhou returned from Zhucheng and arrived at the office, he found Bai Yukui already sitting inside waiting for him.
She was still dressed in the same cheongsam as that day, and Shen Qingzhou was truly amazed by her.
"Don't look."
Lin Yunong, who was following behind, muttered something under her breath, but unfortunately, she didn't have much strength.
She now guards against Shen Qingzhou like she's a thief, even though she knows it's probably not very effective.
But as a ghost, you have to find some fun for yourself so you don't get bored, right?
Shen Qingzhou ignored her, handed the local specialties he bought at the airport to Jiang Xinyue, and sat down directly opposite her.
"The reason you're in such a hurry to find me must be that this matter is very important and quite troublesome."
"Yes." Bai Yukui didn't deny it at all.
Shen Qingzhou immediately grinned and said, "Five million."
"Well……"
Bai Yukui was somewhat amused and exasperated, but she nodded nonetheless and continued, "So you want to get back the five million you lost from me?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingzhou's expression hardened. "You're investigating me?"
Bai Yukui felt a chill run down her spine as he stared at her. Even though she was usually bold, her back instantly broke out in a light sweat. She could no longer maintain her composure and hurriedly said, "The project I'm working with you on this time is very important, so I need to find out what kind of person you are. It's like doing some background research."
"Alright." Shen Qingzhou looked away.
Bai Yukui breathed a sigh of relief and then said, "Do you need me to have someone bring Peng Changfu and his son back to you?"
Shen Qingzhou thought about it and decided against it. They were already being punished, and he didn't want to owe Bai Yukui a favor.
Talking about money can hurt feelings, but talking about feelings can also hurt money. Once you owe someone a favor, you can't ask for too much; you have to consider whether you're asking for too much.
"Tell me, what brings you here today?" Shen Qingzhou leaned back in her chair and stretched.
"I want you to help me find something."
"What is it?"
"The Ant Hole Star Chart," Bai Yukui said.
"what?"
Shen Qingzhou, who had been slumped in the chair, suddenly sat up straight upon hearing this, her gaze as sharp as a knife as she looked at Bai Yukui.
If Shen Qingzhou's gaze had only sent chills down her spine before, now it was like a knife, making her skin feel slightly stinging and giving her goosebumps.
