Working: Start by earning the boss a hundred million!

Chapter 153 Chat
Qin Mai lowered her eyes. She knew that what Cheng Mai said was true. It wasn't that she believed Cheng Mai had this ability, but rather that Shang Xingjian, who was sitting next to her, had this ability.

Under heaven, who else can rival the merchant guild?

“Five million is too much. I can’t come up with it right away. You need to give me time to raise the money.” Qin Mai relented and looked up at Cheng Mai. “But I have one request.”

"Go ahead." Having achieved his goal, Cheng Mai was naturally happy to help others solve their problems.

"I want a wisp of divine consciousness. I know that Boss Shang and CEO Cheng just got one not long ago," Qin Mai said bluntly, her eyes filled with a determined resolve.

Cheng Mai wasn't surprised by her request; he simply admired her courage in making it.

"You can make many requests, but you shouldn't make this one." Cheng Mai's eyes sharpened.

"I only have this one request," Qin Mai insisted.

Cheng Mai suddenly burst out laughing, which made Qin Mai a little flustered, even though she had been behaving normally.

"Although I don't know how you appeared, you seem to be too immersed in the role. Whether it's you or Shang Jianxing, you are just a chance encounter that happened by chance. As for that child, he is just a shell that can disappear at any time. What right does a shell that will not be recorded in the world have to bear the bloodline of the gods?"

Cheng Mai's last words were harsh, each word like a needle piercing Qin Mai's heart.

"Since I am a product of destiny, I have the right to exist in this world. All I want is for my child to return to normal. I have never harmed any of you," Qin Mai suddenly retorted. "You were born gods, and I do not hold a grudge. I only want my child to return to normal. Is that wrong?"

“Existence is its own justification, that’s true.” Cheng Mai acknowledged this statement. “But have you really never hurt anyone?” Cheng Mai approached Qin Mai. “The opportunities of heaven and earth are predetermined. Is your child truly your child?”

Qin Mai suddenly looked up at Cheng Mai.

His eyes were filled with fear.

"So, Miss Qin, let's change our request." Cheng Mai put away his sharp aura, as if nothing had just happened.

Qinmai remained motionless.

Her body was trembling slightly.

“Alright, I pray for my child’s chance at a next life, hoping he can be reincarnated,” Qin Mai said slowly.

Cheng Mai was somewhat surprised.

Why is Qin Mai so determined to bring that glimmer of opportunity into the world?

"Do you think life is worth living?" Cheng Mai asked sincerely.

Aside from birth, aging, sickness, and death, there are all sorts of hardships in life. If you are born into a wealthy family, you will be deceived and exploited by those in power, and there is no room for ruthlessness. If you are born into a poor family, you will struggle to survive your whole life. If you are born into an ordinary family, you will live a lonely life.

Life is full of different aspects, but how many people truly live a fulfilling life?

Are people really that good?
At least she wasn't happy during her life.

"If one were not human, how could Young Master Cheng have experienced so much joy and sorrow? If one were not human, how could the God of Jupiter and the God of Xuanhe have broken through the tribulations of love and entered the path of saving the world?"

Shang Xingjian, who hadn't spoken until now, looked up at Qin Mai upon hearing this.

Breaking free from the tribulations of love?
His love tribulation?

Or is it Jupiter's love tribulation?
Is Jupiter a harbinger of love and misfortune?
he?
Merchant Jian lowered his eyes and suddenly smiled.

Cheng Mai glanced back at him. Shang Xingjian leaned back in his chair, smiling elegantly without the slightest restraint.

Cheng Mai frowned, feeling that the man's smile was malicious.

“Okay, I can agree to that.” Shang Xingjian made his promise as soon as he opened his mouth.

Qin Mai breathed a sigh of relief, and the creases between her brows relaxed considerably.

"I will give you the money as soon as possible," Qin Mai promised.

Aren't you afraid we'll lie to you?

"What Boss Shang says, he will definitely do," Qin Mai said frankly.

Cheng Mai slightly curled his lips. You guys never heard him lie, yet you trust him so much.

With the money matter settled, Cheng Mai and Shang Hangjian left the Qin family.

After getting into the car, Cheng Mai said, "I thought she was going to seek an opportunity for herself or Shang Jianxing, but I didn't expect it to be for a shell that doesn't exist." After Cheng Mai finished speaking, she did not receive a response from Shang Jianxing. She looked over and saw that Shang Jianxing was in a daze.

The probability of the business manager being absent-minded is increasing.

"Shopkeeper Jian?" Cheng Mai exclaimed.

Shang Xingjian quickly regained his senses.

"Clouds float and drift, yet the human world is eternal. What is eternal is the cycle of reincarnation, all bound by emotions. To enter the world and be a human being is the true path of humanity," Shang Xingjian said sagely.

Cheng Mai rolled his eyes, a very clear eye roll.

The merchant's elegant smile.

"The greatest fortune in the world is not as good as experiencing life in this world."

Cheng Mai covered his face immediately, not wanting to listen to his nonsense.

Qin Mai's five million arrived three days later. With this money, the pressure on General Meng An could be temporarily relieved.

But this kind of robbing Peter to pay Paul isn't a solution.

Especially after Zhihuihui's project was put on the agenda, more funds were needed.

Cheng Mai's gaze remained fixed on his father, after all, the Cheng Group was truly wealthy.

Shen Luo was the first to agree with the suggestion.

"However, the Cheng Group is not something we can just take over with money." After all, they had been beaten up before and had their management rights taken away.
Cheng Mai naturally knew this.

Cheng Ming is no longer the same Cheng Ming he used to be.

She was a former colleague who wanted to be her father.

"It's not difficult to get it, but we need to see why Cheng Ming is going against the business magistrate. Once we find the reason, it will be easier to handle." Cheng Mai refused to connect the reason to himself.

It must be due to the simplicity of the business.

Shen Luo was unaware of the grudges involved. All she had heard was that the twelve gods had a good relationship, except for the Jupiter God and the Xuanhe God, who were on bad terms.

"Why don't we ask the boss?" Shen Luo suggested.

"Your boss has an inflated sense of self-importance, thinking the whole world loves him." Cheng Mai scoffed, wondering where some people's confidence came from.

Shen Luo thought about it and agreed with the truth.

"Then what do we do now?"

"Go find Cheng Ming." That's the quickest way; just ask him directly.

"But you need to think this through. He is Lord Qingfan. If you try to out-argue him, your chances of winning are very slim."

As is widely known, the God of the Year Star uses the Bell of Binding Evil to capture demons and evil spirits, while the God of Pure Brahma relies on exorcism to deliver them from suffering.

In terms of eloquence, they have no chance of winning.

"How will you know if you don't try?" Cheng Mai didn't believe that Cheng Ming had no flaws whatsoever.

Everything can be found by looking for clues, as long as it can speak.

If you do nothing, you will end up with nothing.

Cheng Mai arranged to meet Cheng Ming downstairs at the Cheng Group building.

Cheng Ming accepted the invitation without hesitation.

This time, Cheng Mai brought Shen Luo along, and they sat down immediately after arriving.

Cheng Ming glanced at Shen Luo, then raised his hand to order coffee.

"You brought a baby bird with you. Do you think she can protect you?" Cheng Ming said slowly.

They knew from the beginning that someone wanted to arrest Cheng Mai.
