Su Mo silently ate his bread, although it wasn't anything special, it tasted particularly good today.

"Is that enough? If not, I can get you some more."

Qian Chengxue asked considerately.

"It's enough."

Su Mo replied in a good mood. Only then did he notice the faint cleavage revealed by Qian Chengxue's white shirt as she sat sideways.

For a moment, Su Mo felt his heart beat faster, and his nostrils felt a little itchy.

He quickly shifted his gaze and adjusted his state of mind.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Dong, dong?

Su Mo was slightly stunned, looking at Qian Chengxue with a puzzled expression. Who would be looking for her so early in the morning?

Seeing Su Mo's expression, Qian Chengxue felt as if she had been caught red-handed. She said softly with a slightly unnatural expression, "Why are you looking at me? I don't know who it is either."

She was also very puzzled. No one usually came, but today was a bit unusual.

"Cough, no, I didn't mean that."

Su Mo quickly explained.

"I'll go see who it is."

Then, Qian Chengxue got up and walked towards the door. She reached the door and turned on the electronic peephole.

But when she saw the person knocking on the door, her pupils suddenly dilated, and she ran back in a panic.

"Su Mo."

"What's wrong? Who is it? Why are you so nervous?"

Su Mo looked puzzled. He hadn't panicked this much even when he was blocked by a group of people early in the morning.

"You hide quickly."

Qian Chengxue said, somewhat flustered.

"Who is it that I have to hide?"

Su Mo's heart sank slightly. He wasn't afraid of anyone.

"I don't know what's going on, but my father actually came."

Qian Chengxue didn't care about anything else and told Su Mo directly.

"What did you say?"

When Su Mo heard this, he immediately stood up, completely losing his previous nonchalant attitude. He looked left and right and asked, "Where do I hide? How about the bathroom?"

As he spoke, Su Mo was about to run towards the bathroom.

Qian Chengxue quickly grabbed Su Mo.

"Not here."

"Then where do I hide?"

"My room, I guess."

As she spoke, Qian Chengxue quickly pulled Su Mo into her room.

Su Mo quickly glanced around Qian Chengxue's room, then directly locked onto the space under the bed. He immediately lay down and crawled under the bed.

"Su Mo, don't..."

When Qian Chengxue saw Su Mo crawling under the bed, she wanted to stop him, but it was too late. Su Mo had already deftly crawled in.

At this time, the knocking on the door continued.

So Qian Chengxue didn't care about anything else and ran towards the door.

Under the bed, Su Mo crawled further in. At this moment, he felt himself bump into something soft. He subconsciously touched it and found that it seemed to be clothing.

So he grabbed a handful to take a look and was immediately dumbfounded.

"Pearl, black silk, white silk, lace..."

At this time, Su Mo quickly looked around carefully, his face flushed slightly. He found that there were lingerie everywhere. And they all looked quite new, probably only worn once.

He immediately realized that no wonder the room was so clean; it was all piled under the bed.

At this time, Qian Chengxue walked to the door, took a deep breath, and opened the door.

She saw Ye Tian standing alone at the door. The two looked at each other, and for a moment they didn't know what to say. The atmosphere was very awkward.

Finally, Qian Chengxue spoke to break the silence, "Father, come in and sit down."

"Yes."

Ye Tian nodded slightly, then walked in.

He looked at the simple furnishings in the house and said with a slight touch, "There's no need to be so simple, is there?"

"It's okay."

Qian Chengxue replied in a low voice.

"If you don't have enough money, I'll have someone send you some."

"No need, Father. I'm fine."

Qian Chengxue replied somewhat uncomfortably. She remembered that Ye Tian rarely communicated with her like this. Even if he did, it was a long time ago, and she couldn't remember it clearly.

At this time, Ye Tian's eyes inadvertently swept across the dining table and saw two sets of cutlery left over from the meal.

His eyes narrowed involuntarily, and he looked towards the bathroom and the room.

"Father, what can I do for you?"

When Qian Chengxue saw Ye Tian's gaze towards the room, she immediately realized what was happening and quickly shifted his attention.

Ye Tian heard Qian Chengxue ask him, and he couldn't help but sigh deeply, then said, "The family's situation is not optimistic. The loss of funds and personnel is heavy, and the strategic policy has been frustrated. I know I shouldn't tell you this, after all, the family hasn't been very good to you."

Qian Chengxue lowered her head slightly, biting her lip lightly.

"Father, I know."

"Actually, if possible, I wouldn't want to talk about these things when I meet you. I also want to talk to you about some happier things. After all, I haven't spent much time with you since you were little, and in the blink of an eye, you've grown so big."

Ye Tian said somewhat wearily.

"It's okay, I'm used to it. Father, did something happen that you came to me?"

Qian Chengxue took a deep breath and asked. In fact, she still understood Ye Tian somewhat. He was a very principled person. If he wasn't forced to, he wouldn't come to her.

Back then, when her eldest brother, Ye Wuhen, was imprisoned in the Black and White Institution, he didn't come forward.

"It's about the exploration escort this time."

Ye Tian kept his attitude very low.

Qian Chengxue was also very surprised when she heard Ye Tian's words. Was it just an exploration that made her father value it so much?

Ye Tian also noticed Qian Chengxue's puzzled expression, so he explained, "This is not an ordinary exploration. If it was, I wouldn't have come to you specifically. According to insider information, what we are going to explore this time is a star field area that is extremely rich in resources. The benefits may be very high. At that time, the Black Yao might have to return early to cash out the resources obtained and rearm in a leapfrog manner. If we miss this opportunity, we may fall further and further behind the times."

......

Under the bed in the bedroom, Su Mo pricked up his ears and listened to Ye Tian's words.

A look of helplessness appeared on his face. No wonder everyone said that rumors became more and more outrageous as they spread.

Today he had witnessed it. Sperd had clearly told them that the star field was extremely poor in resources. If they couldn't find the ruins of the former Titan race, they might return empty-handed.

But here it had become that the star field was very rich in resources. Wasn't this nonsense?

However, Su Mo thought about it carefully. It seemed that he couldn't blame Ye Tian and the others for getting the wrong information. The real purpose of the exploration certainly couldn't be revealed, but the exploration itself wasn't a secret, so naturally everyone began to imagine things.

On the other side, Qian Chengxue fell silent after listening to Ye Tian's words.

Seeing that Qian Chengxue didn't speak, Ye Tian sighed and continued, "This matter is really important to the family. The family needs this opportunity. Usually, Wang Hai is responsible for this kind of thing. The family can probably also win a little opportunity. But this time there is a problem. I heard that Su Mo is responsible for leading the Z zone. I hope you can help persuade him to let us escort you."

It was the first time Qian Chengxue had seen her father ask her in such a low voice. Her heart was like a broken seasoning bottle, mixed with various feelings, and she felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

Then she replied in a low voice, "I know, Father. I will talk to Su Mo about this and try to fight for it."

Although Qian Chengxue agreed to help, she didn't directly agree. After all, this matter required Su Mo's approval, and she didn't take it upon herself to decide.

"Okay, that's enough. I still have something to do, so I'll leave first."

Ye Tian said with a calm expression.

"Okay."

Qian Chengxue personally sent Ye Tian out.

Soon the two walked to the door. When Ye Tian was about to leave, he turned his head to look at Qian Chengxue, his expression somewhat complicated, and said, "Take care of yourself when you're outside alone."

After speaking, Ye Tian left without looking back. He didn't mention letting Qian Chengxue go home.

And he didn't bring anyone with him this time, probably because he was afraid of being known.

Qian Chengxue looked at Ye Tian's leaving figure and was slightly dazed, feeling inexplicably sad.

....

Not long after, Qian Chengxue closed the door and returned to the room. She called out, "Su Mo, it's okay."

At this time, Su Mo crawled out from under the bed and asked awkwardly, "Did you get found out?"

"I don't think so. That Su Mo, I want to discuss something with you."

Qian Chengxue replied with a somewhat depressed expression.

"You want to talk about the Ye family's escort? This is no problem."

Su Mo replied directly. He had heard everything just now.

Qian Chengxue raised her head and looked at Su Mo in surprise, "Aren't you going to consider it? What if it's not appropriate?"

"What's not appropriate? I can make the decision on this matter. It's a small matter, don't worry about it, but there is one problem."

Su Mo replied with a smile.

"What problem?"

Qian Chengxue asked quickly.

"Did your father misunderstand something? Although this is an exploration, that star field is very barren. There are basically no resources?"

Although Su Mo agreed, he still had to make things clear.

"That's not possible, is it?"

Qian Chengxue was also very surprised when she heard Su Mo's words. Wasn't this exploration a piece of cake? Otherwise, why would so many people break their heads to fight for it?

Su Mo hesitated for a moment, then said to Qian Chengxue in a low voice, "Some things I shouldn't tell you in principle, but I'll tell you in private, don't spread it out. This exploration is to find the ruins of a destroyed race. If we find it, we will naturally have meat to eat, but if we can't find it, then we will definitely return empty-handed. This matter is absolutely confidential."

"Okay, I understand."

Qian Chengxue was very touched after listening. Su Mo was willing to reveal even this to her.

"Well, I'm going to finish my meal."

Su Mo was very natural and walked towards the dining table. It was rare for Qian Chengxue to prepare breakfast for him, so he had to finish it and not waste it.

He sat back on the dining chair and was just about to pick up the cup filled with milk to drink.

He saw Qian Chengxue also walking over. Her face was slightly red, and she mustered up the courage to say, "That Su Mo, since you can't go back to the dormitory anyway, why don't you just move in with me?"

Hearing Qian Chengxue's words, Su Mo's hand shook, and the milk almost spilled, but he still replied calmly in the first time, "Okay."

Of course, this was just on the surface. At this time, Su Mo was panicking a lot, and his heart was beating faster.

Qian Chengxue was secretly relieved to see Su Mo agree. She was still a little worried that Su Mo would refuse.

Just then, the bell rang.

Buzz ~

Su Mo picked up the phone and took a look, slightly stunned. Why was Sun Duoxiang calling him so early?

So he picked it up.

"What's the matter?"

"That boss, are you free at noon? I'll treat you to dinner."

Sun Duoxiang said awkwardly.

"We just had dinner last night, why are you treating me now? If you have something to say, say it quickly, if you have something to fart, let it out."

Su Mo asked suspiciously.

"Cough cough, that boss, you really are the leader."

"Aren't you talking nonsense?"

Su Mo's head was a little painful.

"No, no, I didn't mean to question you. It's like this. Don't we have enough manpower? Why don't I bring more people myself?"

Sun Duoxiang said somewhat embarrassedly.

Su Mo immediately heard what the problem was.

"Tell me the truth, who are you speaking for?"

"It's like this. The Lin family asked me to bring a message. They also want to participate in this operation. And they are willing to give you 30% of the profits. I really have no choice. I have to give Lin Ming some face."

Sun Duoxiang swallowed and said.

Su Mo pondered for a while and said, "I still have to give Lin Ming face, I agree to this matter. Also, you tell the Lin family, that 30% profit is waived."

"Boss, you're not kidding, are you? You're not going to eat the meat that's already in your mouth?"

Sun Duoxiang asked a little incredulously.

"I said I was giving Lin Ming face, what are you eating?"

Su Mo replied angrily. Also, this exploration is not that simple. It is completely different from the disintegration of the Zhigu Planet Fortress last time. It is not the same thing, and there may be dangers.

These people must have misunderstood the concept, but Su Mo would not explain it to them.

"Okay, okay, boss, I understand."

Sun Duoxiang replied quickly.

Su Mo hung up the phone with a solemn expression. It seemed that he had to take this exploration mission seriously.

"What's wrong? You seem to have something on your mind."

Qian Chengxue asked.

"It's nothing."

Su Mo shook his head.

As a result, Su Mo had just finished speaking when his phone rang again.

Su Mo looked at the phone and was also a little headache.

What the hell, Sun Duoxiang just called him, and now it was Mo Burke's turn. Did these two people discuss it in advance?

So Su Mo reluctantly answered the phone.

He heard Mo Burke's flattering voice immediately on the other end of the phone.

"Su Mo, please open the door. I'm right at your door. Don't push me..."

"Is that Su Mo? Please open the door. I'm the manager of the Zhuyan Group (Zhang family)."

The young manager enthusiastically introduced himself.

Just then, Su Mo saw a familiar figure in the distance.

He saw Jia Lan staring at the Natural Light Smart Washing Machine in a daze.

"Su Mo, isn't that Jia Lan?"

Before Su Mo could speak, Qian Chengxue reminded Su Mo unexpectedly.

"Yes, let's go over and say hello! Jia Lan."

Su Mo called out.

Hearing Su Mo's call, Jia Lan turned her head and looked over. Seeing Su Mo and Qian Chengxue walking over, she greeted them with a smile.

"What a coincidence."

"Yes, are you also looking at the washing machine?"

Su Mo asked curiously.

"Yes, but it's so expensive."

Jia Lan was a little worried looking at the price on the label.

"How much does it cost? I'll give you one."

Su Mo said indifferently.

"Sir, it's 10,000 star coins each."

The manager behind Su Mo said with a smile.

Su Mo's expression also froze when he heard this. Was it so expensive? It was almost the price of an advanced second-generation mecha.

Qian Chengxue was also a little hesitant when she heard the price. She said to Su Mo in a low voice, "Why don't we forget it? Let's just buy one casually."

"It's okay, let's get two!"

Su Mo replied calmly.

"Okay, okay..."

The manager on the side was so happy that he was about to die. He was going to have a big order today.

However, at this moment, a kind voice sounded.

"Mr. Su Mo, if you like it, you can have it for free."

Su Mo frowned slightly and turned his head to look over.

He saw an old man in a retro robe walking out from behind with a cane.

Looking at him, the old man was also very dignified.

The young manager immediately lowered his head when he saw the old man, not daring to look directly at him.

Su Mo thought about it carefully, but he had no impression of this person at all. He had never seen him before.

Qian Chengxue's expression was also a little moved when she saw the old man coming. She recognized the identity of the old man in front of her. The old man in front of her was the old patriarch of the Wang family, one of the five dragon heads: Wang Ce.

The five dragon heads often intermarried with each other for many years, so most of them had met each other and had some impressions.

Jia Lan on the side looked at Su Mo curiously.

"Su Mo, you don't have to pay for anything you buy?"

Su Mo replied with a smile, "How is that possible? The free things are the most expensive."

"Oh!"

Jia Lan didn't understand this very well.

Su Mo turned his head and said politely to the old man, "No need, old gentleman, I have my own money. I'm not short of money!"

As he said this, Su Mo directly unbuttoned his pajamas.

This operation also stunned Qian Chengxue.

He saw Su Mo unbutton his pajamas and took out a stack of star currency from the hidden inner pocket. He took out two of them and stuffed them directly into the manager's hands.

The manager was about to cry. It was not right to accept it, and it was not right not to accept it.

"Su Mo, what are you doing?"

Qian Chengxue came back to her senses and asked.

"Cough cough, I specially bought pajamas with inner pockets to hide money, otherwise there is no place to put it."

Su Mo explained with a smile.

Jia Lan very much agreed and said, "There is no place safer than hiding it on yourself."

"Miss Jia Lan is too kind."

Su Mo was also in a very good mood.

"That Su Mo, thank you for helping me buy things. I have something to do, so I'll leave first. You can come to my house to play when you have time."

Jia Lan said goodbye to Su Mo when she saw that she had bought everything.

"Okay, take care."

Su Mo waved goodbye to Jia Lan.

After Jia Lan left, Wang Ce smiled and continued to talk to Su Mo.

"Mr. Su Mo, I wonder if you can give the old man a little face and chat in the tea room inside."

"No, who are you?"

Su Mo began to face the old man in front of him squarely.

"My name is Wang Ce. I'm doing a small business."

Wang Ce said very kindly.

At this time, Qian Chengxue said to Su Mo in a low voice, "He is the old patriarch of the Wang family, one of the five dragon heads. The Wang family has been doing very well in recent years."

After listening to this, Su Mo took a deep breath. This trouble was really everywhere. However, Su Mo didn't plan to offend the other party too much, so he said, "Mr. Wang Ce, we have something to do, so we won't chat with you. We'll talk next time when we have the opportunity."

"Since Mr. Su Mo is so busy, then I, the old man, will get straight to the point. Actually, I have something to ask you to bring our Wang family on this interstellar exploration. Of course, don't worry, our Wang family will definitely obey your command, and we are willing to pay this much of the profit!"

Seeing that Su Mo was about to leave, Wang Ce simply revealed his cards and stretched out five fingers.

Su Mo took a breath of cold air when he saw the fingers stretched out by Wang Ce.

It was not without reason that the Wang family had been doing so well in recent years. They offered 50% of the profit right away!

How generous could this be? How many people could resist this temptation?

Wang Ce did this on the one hand to ensure that he got the spot for this exploration. But this was not the most important thing. The most important thing was that Wang Ce wanted to overwhelm Su Mo in one breath.

He wanted to pull him to his side. Compared to the exploration spot, he valued Su Mo, the newly emerging big tree, more.

What kind of person was Wang Hai? No one knew better than him.

The fact that this guy was able to get rid of Wang Hai, even if Wang Hai himself had some problems, was enough to prove that Su Mo's strength should not be underestimated.

Not to mention that Wang Ce had also conducted a special investigation on Su Mo. The more information he investigated, the more shocking it was.

"Sorry, this exploration is very important, and every escort is carefully selected. I can't just agree."

Su Mo directly refused euphemistically.

"Mr. Su Mo, please consider it again. There's no need to be so anxious."

Wang Ce said with a smile.

"Sorry, we have something to do, so we won't stay any longer."

As he said this, Su Mo and Qian Chengxue left directly.

After Su Mo and Qian Chengxue walked away, some core members of the Wang family walked over from nearby.

"Old patriarch, the other party's appetite is too big. They don't agree to this? If we take this condition to other regional leaders, they will agree."

"It's not that the other party's appetite is big, but that they have principles. These people are the most difficult to win over. However, once they are won over successfully, the value they bring is immeasurable. Let's take it slowly. Also, I warn you that even if this matter doesn't work out, you are not allowed to offend him."

Wang Ce said with a flash of shrewdness in his eyes.

"Yes."

......

ps: I have a meeting to attend temporarily, and I will continue to update tomorrow.
