Lin Mo suddenly realized that Mercedes-Benz's designers really had a life.

The column shifter design keeps the space between the center armrest and the center console clean and uncluttered, with nothing in the way...

Two days later.

In a newly rented warehouse on the outskirts of the city.

Lin Mo and Xu Qing discussed new knowledge points.

The phone suddenly rang, and Lin Mo took it out of his pocket to look at it.

Xin Lu!

Lin Mo pressed the answer button directly.

"Xiao Mo, the silver you requested has arrived."

Should we have them deliver it directly to my jewelry store's warehouse, or to your location?

Xin Lu's voice came through the receiver, with the sound of a truck engine idling in the background.

"Send it to my warehouse, I'll give you the address."

"Alright, I'll have the convoy set off now."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Mo sent the warehouse location to Xin Lu, and then decisively used a spell to ensure Su Qing's absolute loyalty.

Although she had long been his woman, the subtle influence of Yin-Yang Kung Fu had already firmly bound her heart and soul to him!

But for Lin Mo, matters concerning his core secret cannot be resolved by emotion alone.

What he needed was absolute control, the kind of control where she wouldn't utter a single word even if someone held a knife to her throat.

More than an hour later.

A deep truck horn sounded outside the warehouse.

Lin Mo pulled open the warehouse's roller shutter door.

Xin Lu stepped out of the Cayenne, wearing a beige suit skirt, nude pointed-toe stilettos, and sunglasses pushed up on her head.

Her gaze passed over Lin Mo's shoulder and landed on Su Qing, who was following closely behind him. The smile on her lips froze for a very short moment.

Today, Su Qing wore the navy blue office lady uniform that Lin Mo had bought for her last time. She had a plain-colored silk scarf pinned to her collar, her long hair was tied up behind her head, and she wore black stockings. She had a gentle and composed demeanor and stood half a step behind Lin Mo, a distance that was just right for ambiguity.

A very subtle hint of bitterness flashed across Xin Lu's eyes, but it was quickly concealed by the mask she had developed over the years in the business world.

She greeted him with a smile, and Lin Mo took the initiative to introduce them:

"This is Ms. Xin Lu, who runs a very large business and also owns a gold shop."

This is my driver and secretary, Su Qing.

"Hello, Mr. Xin."

Su Qing extended her slender hand, her smile gentle and generous, her posture neither humble nor arrogant.

"Hello, Ms. Su."

Xin Lu squeezed Su Qing's hand briefly, then withdrew it and turned to Lin Mo, her tone slightly teasing.

"Xiao Mo, you have excellent taste! Secretary Su has such a great image; she must be very responsible at work!"

"It's alright, mainly because it helps me share the burden."

Lin Mo replied without changing his expression.

"I think so too!"

Xin Lu tilted her head to look at him, her eyes slightly raised.

"By the way, do you need any more people? Seeing how big your business is getting, I'm thinking of working for you too."

"Sure, come on over. I need someone to watch the warehouse."

As long as Sister Lu doesn't mind, you can start anytime. The work is easy, with five social insurances and one housing fund, and a monthly salary of 5,000 yuan!

Lin Mo pointed to the roller shutter behind him.

"No one would show you the warehouse."

"If I come, I'll be a secretary too, or even an assistant to Secretary Su."

Xin Lu replied, half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"Then you might have to wait a bit, Sister Lu. My business is just starting out, and she can manage on her own for now."

When we need more staff, we'll definitely give you priority consideration.

"Okay, it's a deal then. Come to me first when the time comes!"

I work very hard, and I'm sure I can help you with your problems!

"No problem. I'll invite you first."

After the joke was over, Xin Lu regained her usual serious expression, took half a step forward, and lowered her voice slightly:

"By the way, Xiao Mo, are you free lately? My grandfather would like to meet you."

Lin Mo hesitated for two seconds.

Xin Weimin, that's an old man who's been to the inner circle of Beijing, the true pillar of the Xin family.

After he finished giving Shen Yun acupuncture last time, he asked Xin Lu to tell her that there were still more than ten treatment sessions to go, and judging by the time, it was about time for the second treatment.

I'll have to see the old man sooner or later, so the sooner the better. I can get the second course of treatment done at the same time and save myself the trouble of traveling back and forth.

"available.

"It just so happens that your aunt is also about to start her second round of treatment. I was planning to contact you in the next couple of days anyway."

Thinking of the dignified and beautiful Xin Peici, Lin Mo felt a little restless for some reason.

Perhaps it was because of her status that she gained points in Lin Mo's eyes.

After all, he's the mayor; if he could advance further, that would be a great achievement!

"Which is more convenient for you, tomorrow or the day after?"

"The day after tomorrow."

"Okay, then the day after tomorrow, I'll come pick you up then."

"Okay! I'll contact you in advance!"

While the two chatted, the cargo on the truck was quickly unloaded.

Su Qing checked the list item by item, and after confirming that all three hundred silver ingots were in place, she turned around and gave Lin Mo an OK sign.

Lin Mo transferred the money on the spot, and Xin Lu didn't linger, leaving the warehouse with the truck.

The roller shutter door closed again, leaving only two people in the warehouse.

Lin Mo walked to the neatly stacked pile of silver bricks, picked one up and weighed it in his hand. It weighed a full kilogram, and the silver surface gleamed with a cool white light under the warehouse's incandescent lamps.

One piece, two pieces, three pieces...

It costs 300 yuan in total, which is exactly 300 kilograms.

With 300 kilograms of silver, converted according to the exchange rate difference between the two worlds, if he operates properly, he can bring back 30 kilograms of gold from World One, and the profit in between is enough for him to carry out his next plan.

He stored all three hundred silver ingots into his spatial storage, dusted off the silver powder on his hands, and said to Su Qing:

"Let's go, take me home."

"Okay!" Su Qing, wearing high heels, quickly walked to the table and picked up the car keys.

Back at his place, Lin Mo sat down on the sofa.

Long Qingxue was sitting cross-legged on the carpet practicing her internal energy. Upon hearing the noise, she stopped practicing, got up, poured him a cup of warm water, and handed it to him.

Lin Mo took the water glass, took a sip, and gestured for her to sit down beside him.

After lying down on Long Qingxue's soft, fleshy legs, Lin Mo briefly explained his plans for World One.

He needs a legitimate identity and a foothold in World One.

Rebellion is not something that can be accomplished overnight. The most difficult part is the initial stage. Without a legitimate identity, even doing business will be exploited by the government, let alone recruiting soldiers.

He didn't intend to become an outlaw; that path was too difficult, and he needed his own team.

After listening, Long Qingxue remained silent for a moment, then spoke:

"My father had a student named Pei Ziyu. When my father was in charge of the imperial examinations, he personally selected him, and the bond between teacher and student was very deep."

After his father's incident, he was implicated and sent to Hezhou as the prefect.

He's maintained secret contact with us for years. If we had enough money, he could probably help us with anything, whether it was getting a new identity or donating money for an official position.

"Approximately how much will it cost?"

"For status, around a hundred taels should be enough. As for buying an official position, it depends on what you're buying; the price varies greatly depending on the rank."

Long Qingxue pondered for a moment,

"The magistrate of Yunxi County is a seventh-rank official, a mid-level county, and his salary is about 100,000 taels. As for the commanders of a thousand households and a hundred households... a commander of a thousand households costs between 30,000 and 50,000 taels, while a hundred households are much cheaper, around 5,000 taels."

One hundred thousand taels.

Lin Mo quickly did the mental calculation: the 300 kilograms of silver he bought for 5 million in the main world was only 6,000 taels, barely enough to make a hundred households.

One hundred thousand taels of silver would be worth tens of millions of yuan in the world.

However, upon further reflection, buying a county magistrate position was indeed not a good deal: civil officials do not have military power, cannot maintain private armies, and the taxes within their jurisdiction have to be handed over layer by layer, so the potential for personal gain is limited.

What he wanted was a military post that allowed him to legally train troops. Although a centurion was a small position, he still had about a hundred men under his command, so he could start from scratch.

"A county magistrate has no military power and cannot train troops. A military officer is more suitable. First, help me get a centurion position in Yunxi County."
