Ye Xuan is not surprised that someone will come to recruit him. After all, there are only a few supernatural beings who can purify the crystal nucleus in the base. strange thing.
Generally speaking, the way to recruit a person is to coerce and lure, because he now has Shen Ping as his backer, but there is no one to threaten him, and the main thing is to lure him.
The means of lure are nothing more than power, money, status, and beauty. He has seen these many times in his previous life, and he has already been mentally prepared, but he never expected that when he knew he had a lover Under such circumstances, he could actually see the day of a beauty trick in his life...
Since the day he released the news that he was going to sell the purification crystal core publicly, he has received many invitations publicly and privately, some want to buy the crystal core in advance, and some want to ask if they can use other systems The crystal nucleus is used to do this business, and there are various aspects.
Among them, the news passed by Zhang Shaoqi, the captain of the fire unicorn, aroused his concern—he had two wood-type crystal nuclei in his hand, and wanted to use them in exchange for a chance to secretly trade a hundred purification crystal nuclei with himself.
As the leader of one of the several supernatural teams in the base, Zhang Shaoqi's family history is no secret in the base, and Ye Xuan, a friend, knows a lot about his past.
There was a big turmoil in the early days of the end of the world. The main reason was that a superhuman surnamed Zhao first became the second in command of the team by virtue of saving Zhang Shaoqi's parents, and then because of Zhang Shaoqi's long-term subordinate Dissatisfied and other supernatural teams teamed up to design the Fire-Treading Kirin. If Zhang Shaoqi hadn't had outstanding abilities and was bold and careful, the Fire-Treading Unicorn might have really been wiped out in the wild.
Now Zhang Shaoqi specifically explained that it was a secret private transaction, and the person he wanted to hide was most likely the supernatural person surnamed Zhao.
Although it seems that he has a chance to become close friends with Zhang Shaoqi in this life, but after thinking about it, Ye Xuan decided to help his good friend in his previous life.
After replying Zhang Shaoqi with the time and place of the meeting, Ye Xuan saw that Ling Jiaze was concentrating on absorbing crystal nuclei in the house, and he had nothing to do at home, so he simply went to the small bar they had agreed on early and waited.
As a result, before he could wait for Zhang Shaoqi, a middle-aged man with a red face came over with great enthusiasm to thank him for saving his nephew in Xiangping Town.
Although Ye Xuan can't remember who his nephew is, but as the old saying goes, you don't hit a smiling face when you reach out, and when others enthusiastically come up to thank you for saving your life, you can't just say shut up and go? Before Zhang Shaoqi arrived, Ye Xuan chatted with this middle-aged man first.
It's just that after the other party finished the long speech of thanks, the conversation suddenly changed and he said that he has a son who admires him very much...
"...I have prepared bouillon, and I want to thank you very much! Besides, my child has always admired you since he heard that you rescued his cousin in Xiang Pingzhen, and I want to hear you talk about the stories along the way..."
Ye Xuan: Is this something wrong
He watched helplessly as the topic changed from being thankful to praising how sensible and considerate his son was, and suddenly he had a bad premonition in his heart. It was rare that he interrupted him rudely, and said more bluntly: " Gentleman, I was also trapped in Xiangping Town at that time, and I had to fight to leave the town if I wanted to survive, saving your nephew is just a matter of effort for me, so you don't have to worry about it."
The meaning behind the words is, I didn't intend to save your nephew, I don't need your thanks, goodbye!
The smile on the middle-aged man's face froze, and after a few dry laughs he continued, "But you saved my nephew's life, Brother Ye. You don't have to care about this kindness, but I have to repay it!" He tweeted After looking at the young boy obediently sitting next to him, he ordered in a tone that could not be refused: "Didn't you often tell me at home that you would like to thank Brother Ye for saving your cousin? How come you don't know how to move when you see a real person?"
The boy trembled uncomfortably, raised his head that had been hanging down, forced a smile on his pale face, picked up the wine glass on the table with trembling hands, and said to Ye Xuan: "Brother Ye, I respect you!" One cup, thank you for saving my cousin."
After finishing speaking, he closed his eyes and drank the famously high-strength Long Island iced tea in one gulp, his movements were so neat that Ye Xuan didn't have a chance to stop it.
Soon, the boy's face was flushed, and the corners of his eyes and brows were full of subtle charm. The whole person was like a ripe fruit, waiting to be picked by someone who cared.
It is a beautiful scenery that makes people miss at a glance.
By now, even if Ye Xuan was slow, he was able to realize what the situation was. With a sullen face, he pushed the boy who had been leaning against him to the sofa aside, and said in a displeased tone: "Mr. Sun, you What means?"
Mr. Sun smiled obsequiously and said, "Brother Ye, look at me, my child is suitable for his age and looks good. He is no more comfortable with those older ones? As long as you nod, we will be a family from now on."
A very classic sentence suddenly appeared in Ye Xuan's mind - I have never seen such a brazen person!
Why can this man talk about selling his son so openly
Although it is not uncommon for him to tie a person to his own warship through marriage, it is still covered with a layer of "you love me, I am willing to marry strong, how can there be such a horoscope?" Doesn't fit the operation of sending your son to someone else's bed
You know, what he meant inside and outside the words was not that he wanted his son to be friends with him, but that he was giving him away. Although the purpose of wooing him has not changed, his son's position in it is quite different.
And there is a more important point - "Mr. Sun should know that I have a lover."
Mr. Sun's intuition is not very good, but now he has no way out, so he can only bite the bullet and say: "This... Brother Ye is talking about the child of the Shen family, right? You and him will not affect our little Wei. Accompany you?"
Ye Xuan: ...
So the person surnamed Sun not only gave his son as a gift, but also gave it away as a third son. Does he feel that the end of the world is coming, the quality of life has returned to ancient times, and the marriage system has also returned
Moreover, the "older" mentioned in his previous words clearly put Ling Jiaze and his son in the same position, which is absolutely unbearable for Ye Xuan. He felt that he couldn't continue chatting with this person, so he simply stood up and said, "Differences of opinion do not conspire with each other, Mr. Sun, please leave!"
After speaking, he ignored Mr. Sun's ugly face and Sun Wei who was unconscious on the sofa, and turned and left the bar directly.
—
"... That's probably how it happened. I'm sorry, because of my personal affairs, I changed the place and time of the meeting."
After Ye Xuan went out, he waited for a while on the only way to the bar, and successfully met Zhang Shaoqi who was rushing there, and asked to change places to meet.
After Zhang Shaoqi took him to a restaurant with good taste and relatively high privacy, Ye Xuan explained to him what happened in the tavern, and successfully got the other party's understanding.
By the way, Zhang Shaoqi also added a point of view to him from the perspective of a bystander.
"Mr. Ye may not know it. Many forces in the base are now saying that you joined Colonel Shen's nephew because you were with him, and what you asked for was ice and wood crystals. Nuclear, so many people are saying that you are a bit..." Zhang Shaoqi paused in embarrassment, and slowly uttered three words in a low voice.
"Love Brain."
Ye Xuan: Although the main reason for helping Shen Ping is that he is Ling Jiaze's uncle, it's still uncomfortable to be called a love brain, okay
Zhang Shaoqi saw his displeasure, and said with a dry smile: "Of course, in my opinion, Mr. Ye's joining the Northwest Base must be your own consideration. Do this kind of thing. And as far as I know, there are many juniors in the Sun family, whether Sun Wei is the one who is valued before or after the end of the world."
To put it bluntly, who made his current behavior look like a fool who was dazzled by love
So it's no wonder that those who are interested would try to seduce him with a beauty trick, trying to make him cooperate with Shen Ping instead of cooperating with them. If you succeed, you can bind a wood-type superhuman with a bright future, but if you fail, you will lose an unloved son. What a good deal
Ye Xuan: All right.
He finally understood that he was not close to beauty in his previous life, he was always single, and those who wanted to win him over would not rush to give him beauty. With the precedent of Ling Jiaze in this life, those who want to win him over will have new ideas.
Zhang Shaoqi looked at Ye Xuan's bright face, "Blame me?" He laughed a few times, and took the initiative to bring the subject back to the topic: "I wonder if Mr. Ye can agree to the conditions I proposed earlier about purchasing crystal cores?"
Hearing him talk about the business, Ye Xuan's face straightened, and he said: "Since I am here, it means that I have the intention to make a deal with Captain Zhang, but in my opinion, regarding the details of the deal, the two of us still have to agree We can discuss it again."
The fixed price of 1:20 can save him a lot of time in bargaining, but now that he spends time going out alone, and only talks with Zhang Shaoqi, it is not so troublesome to change the price.
"Appreciate further details!"
"Captain Zhang, don't worry, this price will only be more suitable than before. This is what I think..."
…
After discussing with Zhang Shaoqi for more than ten minutes, Ye Xuan gave him three hundred purified crystal nuclei at a very favorable price, in exchange for two wood and two ice crystal nuclei in his hand, and also purified them for him. Two fire crystal nuclei were formed.
The price is so affordable that Zhang Shaoqi couldn't help thinking about how he flattered this love brain. He remembered that he and Ling Jiaze didn't seem to have any relationship...
Satisfied, Ye Xuan returned home with the crystal core and felt that something was wrong as soon as he went up the stairs. Sure enough, he saw a boy in unlined clothes leaning weakly at the door of his house, and looked at Ling Jiaze with a surprised face.
Ye Xuan:? !
"Listen to my explanation!"
