Qiao Nian did indeed filter the information in his mind as he spoke: "They have a little money, and they were very happy to pay me when we first started working together. That's one of the reasons why I broke the rules and worked with them two or three times in a row."
Of course she herself is not short of money.
Even when she was in the city circle and still in the Qiao family, she was not short of money, she just looked poor on the surface.
But at that time, she had already known Yuan Yongqin and Wei Lou, and Chengfeng Group had long been developed into a leading large company in the country under Yuan Yongqin's leadership.
As one of the original three shareholders, she is not short of money.
But Qiao Nian had been living in the Qiao family for many years and was very depressed. At that time, she didn't know that she was not the biological child of the family. Qiao Weimin and Shen Qiongzhi were almost distracted by the Pacific Ocean. Even she couldn't help but feel upset...
Sometimes when Qiao Nian is in a bad mood, he will find something to do on the black web.
The Miracle Doctor and Chemist were both her aliases on the black web at that time.
She herself has a wide range of interests.
Relying on his talent, he wants to understand everything and explore everything.
The superior price Smith offered was one of the reasons why she was attracted, but it was not enough to convince her to take the job at that time.
She was quite world-weary at the time, and she couldn't accept the job even if she was paid. But Smith's two or three tasks were very interesting. They were research that was not available on the market at the time, with a tricky research angle and very rare research topics...
So she took on two purification tasks and one synthesis task.
There is another important reason.
Those who look for chemists on the black internet usually want to make drug-related drugs or purify them. No matter how much money or how interesting this type of task is, Qiao Nian will not do it.
The task that Smith found happened to have both of these characteristics, and also avoided the sensitive points that Qiao Nian would never touch.
Qiao Nian continued, "They are rich, but not rich enough to leave you a message and ask you to pass it on to me so I can name any price I want."
The dark web is not the place to be out there.
The currency unit here is different from that outside. Millions or tens of millions are considered very expensive outside.
On the black web, a bounty of several million or tens of millions can only be considered an ordinary task. Smith had looked for someone on the black web two or three years ago. It is impossible for him not to know the meaning of telling a chemist on the black web to let people name any price they want and that there is no upper limit on the budget.
"What chemical industry do you mean requires such high R&D costs?" she murmured.
Wei Lou said in a deep voice: "I asked them, it has nothing to do with drugs."
Poison maker is the most profitable profession in the chemical industry. As long as a new product is produced, it means countless cash.
Smith was willing to pay a high price for this unrelated chemist, so the purpose behind this is worth pondering.
Qiao Nian became a little interested.
"There must be someone behind them, or there must be someone behind the Smith family who contacted me before. The Smith family is just their cover."
"Do you want to answer it?"
“No.”
Qiao Nian refused again without even thinking about it.
"They are a little strange, but that's not the reason why I accept the task. I will probably go out soon and my return date is uncertain. I don't have time to take these jobs."
"Where are you going?" Wei Lou asked, and then he felt the silence on the other end and tried to find a way out: "Forget it, you always come and go without a trace, so it's useless to ask."
Qiao Nian paused for half a second and said, "It's not that I don't want to tell you."
"I know." Wei Lou didn't seem to mind interrupting her struggle, and said in a relaxed tone: "Then I'll help you push this job off."
"Yeah." Qiao Nian didn't take it to heart: "Push it."
