Unorthodox methods, cultivating immortality relies on rich women

Chapter 161 Business Comes to Your Door

The morning light bathed the curtains in a warm, golden hue. A ray of light cut through the gaps, casting a clear prism of light on the floor, where tiny dust motes swayed gently.

A few car horns occasionally rang out from outside the window, distant and as light as a breeze.

But it still woke up the sleeping dazed girl.

The chubby little hand peeked out from under the blanket, rubbed its sleepy eyes, and then slowly opened them.

She stared at the ceiling for a long time before finally letting out a soft "Oh".

It was as if she finally realized that this was not a place she was familiar with.

So she tried to get up in one go.

However, her roll was a standard slow motion, taking a full ten seconds before she finally sat steadily on the bed.

She opened her round eyes and scanned her surroundings, finding nothing she recognized.

Then bang.

She fell straight backward.

Sleep a little longer.

"hia"

"6~

Immediately afterwards, its two short legs kicked wildly on the bed, and its little hands flailed left and right, just like a little frog splashing in the water.

But just then, a head suddenly popped out from the side.

"Get up when you're awake, don't stay in bed."

"oh?"

"Did you sleep so much you don't even recognize me?" Shen Qingzhou reached out and gently pinched her chubby cheeks.

"Ah—woo"

He stared blankly, mouth agape.

Dumbly missed biting.

Shen Qingzhou was amused by her silly and adorable appearance: "You want to bite me?"

She stared at him blankly for a long time before finally nodding.

"oh."

Shen Qingzhou was both amused and exasperated. He simply reached out and picked her up, as talking to her was truly exhausting.

It's not that she doesn't understand, it's just that her response time is ridiculously slow. Someone with a short temper would be driven crazy by her.

Just like now, he lifted her up in mid-air and put her back on the bed, preparing to dress her.

Just then, her short legs suddenly kicked wildly on the bed, turning the blanket into a ball.

This action wasn't something she wanted to do at that moment; it was something she had wanted to do when she was lifted up in mid-air, but the signal had only just been transmitted, and she finally reacted.

This can no longer be described using the term "reflection arc length".

Others' reaction time is in their brains, but hers is in the soles of her feet; a signal takes her the Spring Festival travel rush to get through.

Shen Qingzhou finally managed to dress her, and as soon as the little one's feet touched the ground, she rushed towards the window, flung open the curtains, and slipped inside.

Clearly, this was not a spur-of-the-moment decision, but something they had been planning to do for a long time, which is why they acted so quickly.

"Oh ho~"

She let out a strange cry from behind the curtains; clearly, she was playing hide-and-seek with Shen Qingzhou.

Shen Qingzhou found it somewhat amusing; how childish, only an idiot would play this game with you.

Then he walked straight over and paced back and forth in front of the curtains, looking puzzled.

"Huh, where did Dudu hide? I can't find him!"

"hia

~」

"After breakfast, take her back to the welfare home, then discuss the trip with Aunt Yin, ask for their opinions and schedule, and then find a reliable travel agency to coordinate with."

Shen Qingzhou glanced at the dazed man who was engrossed in eating, then turned to Jiang Xinyue and gave her careful instructions.

"OK."

"Include yourself in the list. You'll be going with them. Don't worry, the children at the orphanage are all well-behaved and won't cause any trouble that would disturb everyone's fun."

The children in the welfare home are all exceptionally well-behaved.

The children in the welfare home are all very sensible; this kind of maturity isn't something they're born with.

In order to survive, they learned to read people's expressions and moods at a young age. Only in this way could they avoid being disliked, make friends, and have food to eat.

This is why many children in welfare homes have developed people-pleasing personalities.

However, Shen Qingzhou was powerless to change this.

Even when he was a child, he had this tendency, which was caused by his inferiority complex due to his background.

It was only after he gained power that his personality gradually went to another extreme, becoming the vengeful personality he is today.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Shen Qingzhou turned her head and saw the lean and wiry Old Zhong standing at the door, wearing a well-fitting suit, with his hair slicked back and a crocodile skin bag tucked under his arm.

"Did I disturb your breakfast?" he asked with a grin. When his gaze fell on Daidai, a look of joy immediately flashed across his face, and he quickly walked in.

"Oh, Dazed's here too?"

He had known Shen Qingzhou for many years and had visited the orphanage countless times, so he naturally recognized Daidai.

"Daidai, it's been a long time. Come here and let Grandpa give you a hug."

Old Zhong put down the bag under his arm and opened his arms to hug her, but Shen Qingzhou reached out and pushed his arm away: "Get lost, you trying to take advantage of me. Also, don't disturb her breakfast."

He wasn't being unreasonable. If he called Lao Zhong "brother" but Lao Zhong "grandfather," wouldn't he be significantly inferior to Lao Zhong?

"Hehe—" Old Zhong wasn't annoyed at all, and said with a grin, "If I had known that Daidai was staying with you, I should have bought a gift."

At this moment, Jiang Xinyue brought over a set of bowls and chopsticks.

Seeing this, Old Zhong quickly stood up: "Thank you, thank you, I've already had breakfast, no need to trouble yourself."

He had long since noticed that Jiang Xinyue and Shen Qingzhou had an unusual relationship, so his attitude was naturally exceptionally polite.

"Ignore him."

Shen Qingzhou said something to Jiang Xinyue, then turned to look at Old Zhong, "You came here so early in the morning, what's up, got some business?"

He asked casually, but to his surprise, Old Zhong immediately nodded with a delighted expression.

"What kind of work? How much is the pay?"

"Catching someone in the act of adultery."

"I won't answer." Shen Qingzhou refused without even thinking.

Although Accountant Jiang embezzled five million, the money had already been repaid from Bai Yukui and was enough for the welfare home to use for a long time. He was not short of money at all, so he spoke with confidence.

"What kind of rotten fish do you think I am? Someone who would do anything for money?" Shen Qingzhou said with an air of righteous indignation.

"Uh—the reward is 500,000, and the client has already paid a deposit of 250,000. If we can get the key evidence, the price can be increased—"

"I accepted it."

Before Lao Zhong could finish speaking, Shen Qingzhou interrupted him, "Which deeply affectionate brother wants to use money to mend a broken relationship? If I don't help, who will?"

"Haa~ cough————"

Jiang Xinyue, who was eating breakfast across from him, burst out laughing at his words, choking on a mouthful of porridge and coughing until her face turned red.

Lin Yunong, whom Lao Zhong couldn't see, was also laughing so hard she couldn't stand up straight. Xiao Qiu, seeing everyone laughing, also giggled along.

Finally, it was Daidai's turn. She slowed down a beat and said "hia~" to show respect, looking a little silly.

Shen Qingzhou glanced at the group but didn't pay them any mind. He turned directly to Old Zhong and asked, "Tell me, which bastard brother is willing to spend 500,000 to catch someone cheating?"

"Don't think that 500,000 is a lot. Once you understand the situation, you'll realize that 500,000 is not much at all, and may even be too little."

Old Zhong chuckled as he took out a cigarette, intending to light it, but when his gaze fell on Dai Dai, who was eating intently at the table, he immediately put the lighter away, only tapping the cigarette holder lightly on the table.

Jiang Xinyue, sitting opposite, also pricked up her ears in curiosity.

Old Zhong then spoke up: "This client is the owner of a listed company. His wife is going through a divorce with him, and both sides accuse the other of having an affair. So whoever can find evidence of the other's infidelity first will have a greater advantage in the division of assets. This is not just a matter of a mere 500,000 yuan."

Shen Qingzhou immediately understood upon hearing this.

Indeed, the CEO of a listed company has a net worth that is calculated in hundreds of millions.
