"What could possibly happen to me? I think you're the one that's in trouble. You didn't tell me anything, and I wish I could fly over to find you right now." Wei Lou said a lot, suppressing his temper, "Forget it! You wouldn't welcome me even if I went over. You only have your boyfriend in your eyes now, and I don't know what you like about him. I pursued you so much at the beginning, but you didn't agree. You've been dating him for a long time..."
“…” Qiao Nian frowned.
Wei Lou seldom mentioned the past, let alone things like how he used to chase her around the city. This time, for some unknown reason, he suddenly brought up the same old cliché.
Fortunately, his temper came and went quickly, and he was under control in the blink of an eye. He just spoke in a somewhat stiff tone: "I'm fine, so I can't contact you?"
“That’s not what I meant…” Qiao Nian said with difficulty, mainly because he was in a bad mood. He put his hand in his pocket to touch the lighter, only to find that he had gone out to change his clothes and did not put the lighter in his pocket.
She touched nothing, and the depression in her eyes was about to solidify into substance, so she rubbed the edges of her fingertips quickly to distract herself from the annoyance in her heart.
"What do you want from me?"
"Fuck... You keep saying the same thing, and you say you didn't mean it..." Wei Lou complained unhappily, but honestly didn't continue to jump on her sore spot. He said unwillingly: "Someone contacted me through the black market, looking for a chemist to take the job."
"Um?"
Qiao Nian's brain didn't keep up with the speed at which he changed the subject. After a pause, he remembered who the chemist was.
Then he quickly and ruthlessly rejected it. "No."
"Ah, I know you're with Ye Wangchuan, so you definitely won't accept it. I originally turned it down for you, but the other party was very persistent and asked me to raise the price. He contacted me at three in the morning last night and left me a message, asking me to convey to you what price you want, and whether there is any upper limit to their budget. I think there are not many people in the world who can offer an upper limit, so I wanted to ask you."
"Have you checked?" Qiao Nian heard him mumbling a lot and only caught the last sentence.
Wei Lou answered immediately: "I checked, it's someone you worked with before. His name is Smith or something like that... Foreigners all have similar names, a long list, wait, I'll send it to you later."
"Smith David Skechers." Qiao Nian had an amazing memory and said immediately.
Wei Lou couldn't remember it himself, but he could remember it after hearing her say, "Yes, that's the name. Do you remember him? Who is he?"
Qiao Nian recalled: "I took two purification orders when I was free at Raocheng, and later they sent me a synthesis order. I thought it was interesting, so I cooperated with them twice. After that, they contacted me again, but I had to take the college entrance examination, so I ignored them."
Wei Lou: “…” You are going to take the college entrance examination, how exciting.
Qiao Nian didn't have the ability to read minds, so she couldn't hear his inner complaints and continued, "I've checked. The Smith family is just an old noble family in Country Y. The family has a history of two or three hundred years. But unlike Country M, there are at least a thousand old noble families like this in Europe. One out of ten people there can trace their ancestors back a few generations and have some noble blood. The Smith family is not outstanding among them. The family runs a chemical company, and its products are well-known worldwide."
Wei Lou was waiting for her to finish speaking, which was Qiao Nian's habit.
