Chapter 4 Thirty-three taels of silver
After half an hour,
Zhao Huiya changed from crawling on the table to standing.

The snow-capped mountain was hanging upside down in the air, and the round peak was shaking as she raised her arms. After giving Li Ming an apologetic look, she answered the phone again.

She raised her eyebrows and asked coldly, "You guys are doing this project like this? Do you want me to fail or the company to fail? It must be completed by the end of the month, and I will personally lead you!"

At work, Zhao Huiya is mature, steady, focused, calm, and her decisive temperament is evident.

Ten minutes later.

She exhaled and apologized to Li Ming: "Xiao Ming, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. How is your father? Did you rest well last night?"

Li Ming felt warm in his heart. Zhao Huiya was so busy, but she still cared about them.

He smiled and replied, "Everything is fine. Thank you for your concern, Auntie."

Zhao Huiya nodded and said, "We'll talk when we have time. Wait here for a while, and my bestie will bring Wangcai to you."

As she spoke, she took a sip of coffee and stood up to leave. Li Ming stopped her, "Auntie, wait a moment."

Zhao Huiya turned around with doubt in her eyes.

Li Ming said: "Last night when I was delivering a package, a middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses was on the phone. He said he wanted to acquire Zhixing Technology."

Zhao Huiya was stunned. He looked at Li Ming: "Middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses? There's a mole on the left temple?"

Li Ming nodded.

She quickly asked, "About what time?"

Li Ming said: "Around 11:30, he called the person on the phone, Mr. Ming, and the express delivery was expedited to Tianmi Technology Building."

"The man with golden glasses, Mr. Ming, Tianmi Technology." Zhao Huiya's expression was uncertain.

She turned around and asked seriously, "Li Ming, are you sure the above information is correct?"

Li Ming nodded. He remembered clearly that the middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses gave him only 100 yuan as a tip.

"Mr. Zhao! The car has arrived, let's go." A deep voice came from the door.

Li Ming felt that it sounded familiar. He looked up and his face was full of surprise.

The fat middle-aged man also saw Li Ming, and a hint of surprise and confusion appeared on his fleshy face.

Why would a delivery man sit with Mr. Zhao?
After the fat middle-aged man had a thought in his mind, he quickly said to Zhao Huiya: "Boss Zhao, the car is here, let's go."

Zhao Huiya's eyes flickered, but her face remained expressionless.

She shook her head and said, "No need to go. Call all the project team members back to the company."

Hearing this, the fat middle-aged man was shocked. He asked in disbelief, "Why?"

Zhao Huiya sat back opposite Li Ming, picked up the coffee and took a sip.

Seeing that Zhao Huiya didn’t answer, the fat middle-aged man said anxiously: “Boss Zhao, the entire company has worked hard on this project for half a year.

Although there are obstacles now, it is the final step. If you personally take action, this project will definitely be finalized.

If we don’t go today and miss Mr. Ming, we will have no chance once he returns to the United States.”

Zhao Huiya glanced at the fat middle-aged man indifferently and asked curiously: "The project team told me that President Ming has a firm attitude and there are many obstacles.

The chances of this project being successful are extremely low. Are you so sure that our company is just one step away from success?"

The fat middle-aged man was speechless, "Uh..." Zhao Huiya's sudden question caught him off guard.

He quickly smiled and said, "Boss Zhao, I believe that you will succeed if you take action."

Zhao Huiya didn't answer and continued drinking her coffee.

The middle-aged fat man said anxiously again: "Boss Zhao, I have been trying for a whole week to get Boss Ming's approval.

He managed to squeeze out 40 minutes of interview time for us from his already full schedule. "

Zhao Huiya nodded and said calmly, "Go and get busy."

"Mr. Zhao, but..." The fat middle-aged man wanted to say something but noticed Zhao Huiya's cold eyes.

He nodded unwillingly and said, "Okay! Then I'll go explain to Mr. Ming."

After saying that, the fat middle-aged man looked at Li Ming and left with a frown.

Zhao Huiya didn't say anything. She was reviewing the information on the computer. She was very focused and checked it word by word.

An hour later, Zhao Huiya's face was filled with fear. After finishing her coffee, her frown finally relaxed. She said thankfully, "I was wondering why he was a little abnormal recently."

After that, Zhao Huiya smiled gently and said to Li Ming: "Li Ming, you have helped Auntie a lot. I will treat you to a big meal when Auntie is done!"

Li Ming smiled and said, "No need for a big meal, Auntie. It's just a small thing."

Zhao Huiya stared at Li Ming and said seriously: "No, no, this is not a trivial matter, this matter concerns the entire Zhixing Technology.

If you hadn't reminded me in time, I would have rashly taken on this risky project.

Not only will I not make any money, but I will also be suspected of leaking commercial secrets, which is a criminal act." Zhao Huiya was very serious and earnest.

Li Ming was surprised and asked: "Trade secret?"

Zhao Huiya nodded, and she explained in a somewhat cold voice: "Yes, although this technology is not important, it is somewhat special.

If I signed the contract, it would be a disclosure of business secrets.

This is the trap they set for us, offering us high rewards and playing hard to get with our company.”

At this time, Li Ming also saw the panel reminder, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

[Prevent the leakage of Zhixing Technology's business secrets once, +1 yuan, +20 strength, +0 experience]

[Level lv2 (1777/2000)]

20! 1500 experience points!

Li Ming was stunned. This panel was simply amazing!

I accidentally prevented a not very important technology from leaking, and was directly paid 200,000!

If it is an important technology or core technology, wouldn’t it be five or ten times as much?
Why are you still riding a bicycle and delivering takeout!
If you settle this kind of project ten times, you can almost achieve financial freedom!

After a day of observation, Li Ming also discovered the pattern of panel settlement.

If you complete a job you have never done before, you will gain high experience points!
By completing physical work, your strength points will increase a lot!
Normally, he would feel tired after working all night.

But last night when I was delivering the takeaway, I climbed up the fourth and sixth floors as if it were flat ground, and my breathing rhythm was not disrupted.

After his strength points were increased, not only did his strength become stronger, but his stamina also improved!
You can't just focus on making money, you still have to do physical work and build up your body.

Only when you are in good health and have money can you enjoy the world and be happy.

Do work you have never done before and gain experience points.

Do physical work and build a strong body.

He is as strong as an ox and can plow any fertile and deep field.

After making up his mind, Li Ming's smile became brighter, even happier than Zhao Huiya's.

Li Ming stared at the panel and began to plan how to use the money.

First, I owed the hospital 26 yuan, which had to be paid first. The relatives also owed a total of nearly 36 yuan, which had to be paid back quickly, so yuan was gone in one go.

The remaining 40,000 yuan was used to pay for my father's daily nursing care in the hospital, medicine costs, and special medicines he used regularly.

Although the care is only provided in an ordinary ward, the basic cost is at least 500 yuan per day and can only last for two and a half months.

After settling the bill, Li Ming smacked his lips and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

The four hundred thousand hasn't even been received yet and already not a penny is left!
This is only achieved with the panel settlement, which barely breaks even.

If there was no panel, he would have to watch his father die of illness in bed. Then he would have to bear hundreds of thousands of debts and live a hunchbacked life.

Or as Dr. Yang Yu said, when they are left with no other options, they may go astray and commit crimes, reaching the end of their lives early.

33 taels of silver is the norm for most people.

If this balance is broken, most people in the world can only lament.

Li Ming shook his head and smiled, then took a sip of the bitter coffee.

After looking up, he found that Zhao Huiya was standing upright in front of him. Her round and snow-white body looked like two full moons in front of him. The trembling between her breathing made Li Ming's gaze freeze.

She said softly and gently, "Xiao Ming, Auntie will drive to pick you up at nine o'clock tonight."
