Shi Jing was driving, and it was clear she was a woman of few words.
All of Qian Xuan's subordinates seemed to trait. If it wasn't inherent, then it was certainly a requirement of the job.
After all, Song Zhe had said, earning an after-tax annual salary of five million wasn't something you could get casually.
When they went out on errands for Qian Xuan, their vehicles and persons were tracked, and they all carried sophisticated recording devices—keeping a full record of audio all the time! Every day, audio files were sent back, randomly checked and listened to by Qian Xuan.
Things you should say, and things you shouldn't—all were listed. If you uttered what shouldn't be said, you'd take your pitiful earnings and get lost!
Therefore, subordinates were very cautious with their words when out handling matters. Naturally, their efficiency improved.
Moreover, during their service to Qian Xuan, there was no such thing as a vacation. It was almost a 24-hour standby. After working for a certain period, or whenever Qian Xuan got bored, as long as they made no major mistakes, they could take their money and leave.
Liu Zhizhong felt that Qian Xuan's requirements for his subordinates were very strict, but they were not without their benefits and even created a unique style, matching the immense power Qian Xuan held. People in this stratum were generally sensitive and domineering. For someone like Qian Xuan, he was also capricious with various splits in his personality!
So Liu Zhizhong didn't try to chat with Shi Jing to avoid distracting her from driving. It wouldn't be fun if she got annoyed due to being overly sensitive.
Liu Zhizhong just sat in the car and texted with Song Zhe on WeChat, "Brother Zhe, I'm really sorry to have made you leave. Luckily, none of you got fined, right?"
Song Zhe replied quickly, "Don't worry about that, it was expected, and our service period was almost up anyway. Our group understands the deal, no mistakes were made, and we're leaving with full payment. Until next time, Support God!"
Liu Zhizhong chuckled bitterly, thinking about one of the nicknames netizens had given him. That was just too much.
Of course, there was another rather amusing one, calling him "China's number one male voice actor!"
Liu Zhizhong typed back, "It's good you got full payment. In this country, your earnings should be enough for financial independence. Whether it's for getting married, having children, or taking care of family, it should suffice. Brother Zhe, where are you planning to go?"
"I'm on a high-speed train. Plan is for the brothers and me to go home first, visit our families, then travel around other provinces to relax and vacation. After that, it's back to the original job. Can't say it's real financial freedom; money isn't worth as much these days. A mere ten million isn't all that impressive."
"Your original job? Eh? Brother Zhe, did you all come from other jobs? What kind of job was it?"
"Confidentiality clause, valid for five years, can't tell you anything."
"Heh, okay, I won't ask anymore. Wishing you a smooth journey and a joyous family reunion. You're settled down already, aren't you, Brother Zhe?"
"Not yet, but I have a girlfriend. Haven't seen or contacted her for almost two years. She knows I was on a very secret mission, haha..."
"That's harsh! Worried she might think you're a heartbreaker and run off with someone else..."
"Get lost, can't you say something nicer? What kind of friend are you?"
Liu Zhizhong was quite pleased, laughing out loud, "Brother Zhe, are we friends now?" ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⚑𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⚑𝙣𝙚𝙩
"That's nice, heh... Next time you come to Yangzhou, I'll treat you to drinks, food, and a foot bath! Also, if you want to do some special service or something, it's not out of the question, heh heh..."
"You are truly a piece of work, trying to corrupt me? Forget it, I'm a clean guy, my circle is very clean!"
Regardless, becoming friends with Song Zhe was quite interesting, Liu Zhizhong felt it was a kind of gain as well.
Chatting , Song Zhe's train journey wasn't too dull, and Liu Zhizhong's time heading to Qian Xuan's villa also passed by.
Returning to the villa again, he was still struck by the powerful visual impact.
Liu Zhizhong even felt some anticipation—could he possibly see Luo Shuxiu? Even just a glimpse would be nice, ah...
