I put you in charge of the child, and you raised a monster!

Zhao Lei had no idea about rules or regulations at all.

He just stared at the convoys in front and behind him, his eyes shining.

"This is quite a show of power."

He Jingyan sat in the front row, his tone gentle.

"Australia is not a large island, but it has its own rhythm."

Zhao Lei asked, "Mr. He, do you usually have this many cars going out?"

He Jingyan smiled.

"It depends."

Zhao Lei: "What's the situation today?"

He Jingyan turned around and glanced at Shen Ling'er.

"To receive distinguished guests."

The car was silent for a second.

All eyes turned to Shen Ling'er.

Shen Ling'er was looking down and flipping through her little account book.

She looked up when she heard this.

"Do you have chicken drumsticks, esteemed guest?"

He Jingyan: "..."

Zhao Lei burst out laughing.

He Jingyan paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Yes."

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"That's alright."

Zhao Lei clutched his stomach.

"Mr. He, now you know, right?"

He Jingyan asked, "What do you know?"

Zhao Lei solemnly said, "The highest form of etiquette for welcoming Ling'er is not a luxury car."

"It's a chicken leg."

He Jingyan looked at Shen Ling'er, his smile deepening.

"I've got it."

Shen Ling'er closed the ledger with satisfaction.

She also jotted down a few notes in the ledger.

Yang Mi caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of his eye and couldn't help but ask, "What are you memorizing now?"

Shen Ling'er tucked the notebook into her bosom.

"Distinguished guest chicken leg, pending confirmation."

Yang Mi: "..."

Zhao Lei laughed so hard he fell back into his seat.

"Hahaha, Ling'er has quantified the He family's hospitality standards into chicken legs – that's yet to be confirmed!"

Bai Sisi laughed so hard that tears almost came out.

"Could this ledger be published in the future? I'd like to buy it."

Shen Ling'er looked at her warily.

"cannot."

Bai Sisi: "Why?"

Shen Ling'er replied seriously, "It's a trade secret."

Zhao Lei: "..."

He Jingyan's assistant, sitting in the other row, finally couldn't help but turn his head and his shoulder trembled slightly.

The comments section was flooded with messages.

"VIP privileges: motorcade, security, hotel, chicken leg (to be confirmed)"

"The Ho family's reception manual has been urgently updated with a children's meal rating standard."

"Ling'er's account book is the real core document, isn't it?"

"They've even revealed trade secrets; is she really only five years old?"

"The rich kid listened attentively to the kid talking about chicken legs, and I actually found it quite reasonable."

"The street scenes on Macau look so expensive, and Ling'er looks so hungry from her perspective."

"He Jingyan is just finding it interesting now, but he'll probably have to rethink his understanding of the world later."

"..."

The atmosphere in the car became much more relaxed.

However, Yang Mi did not completely relax.

She looked out the window at the casino buildings.

Some buildings are resplendent in gold, like lights that refuse to go out even in daylight.

Some signs are huge, and you can feel their irresistible allure even from a distance.

She suddenly understood why Shen Fei had taught Shen Ling'er so much about "gambling".

Everything here makes it too easy to believe in luck.

I believe in the next one.

Believe that you will be the exception.

Yang Mi looked down at his daughter.

Shen Ling'er was stuffing the small ledger back into her backpack and then carefully checking if the beef jerky was still there.

Yang Mi's heart softened slightly.

She asked softly, "Ling'er, are you tired?"

Shen Ling'er shook her head.

"Not tired."

Yang Mi: "Are you hungry?"

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"A little."

Zhao Lei immediately chimed in, "Mr. He, did you hear that? Our esteemed guest's condition has changed from 'awaiting confirmation' to 'mild hunger'."

He Jingyan glanced at the time cooperatively.

"Lunch is ready. We'll be at the hotel in about fifteen minutes."

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"Can."

Zhao Lei clicked his tongue.

"Mr. He, your dispatching capability has now been approved."

He Jingyan smiled and said, "Thank you for reviewing, Teacher Ling'er?"

Shen Ling'er thought for a moment.

"Temporarily approved."

He Jingyan raised his eyebrows slightly.

"temporary?"

Shen Ling'er said seriously, "I want to see the chicken leg."

He Jingyan: "Understood."

Zhao Lei remarked, "Mr. He adapted very quickly."

Bai Sisi: "The heirs of wealthy families are indeed quick learners."

He Jingyan just smiled.

But his gaze fell on Shen Ling'er again through the rearview mirror.

He realized that his assessment of Shen Ling'er might not have been accurate enough.

This child is not simply "stable".

She is also very good at maintaining social distance.

She did not show excessive closeness just because the He family sent someone to pick her up.

They didn't take advantage of the other party's politeness.

She asked about money, food, and chicken legs, sounding like a child making a fuss, but every question stayed within safe limits.

She did not ask about the internal situation of the He family.

I didn't ask the casino.

I didn't ask about fake chips.

They didn't rush to show off their "knowledge."

He Jingyan has met some gifted children.

Many children, once praised, will be eager to perform.

They couldn't wait to prove that they were better than the adults.

But Shen Ling'er is not.

She was like a little animal.

keen.

confidence.

But don't pounce.

Unless she herself feels she should pounce.

He Jingyan's initial "appreciation" gradually turned into a bit of seriousness.

He had indeed watched those clips from the show.

Counterfeit money.

Printing factory.

River channel.

Ice marks.

Special thin film.

He admitted that the child had an amazing ability to observe.

However, in his view, video programs inevitably involve editing.

Maybe it's a coincidence.

Perhaps the police already have a lead.

Perhaps the child only hit a few points.

Perhaps the show exaggerated her role.

The Ho family never just watches the show.

They were willing to offer 30 million, not just because the live stream made it sound amazing.

It was because those fake chips were just too troublesome.

The existing authentication team can determine that it is fake.

However, it cannot explain why it was able to fool part of the internal identification process.

Technicians review the materials.

Experienced gamblers rely on their feel for the game.

Security personnel are monitoring the flow of people.

View records in the financial system.

Everyone looks at the area they are familiar with.

But He Jingyan vaguely felt that this matter lacked someone who could "see through the illusion to the purpose".

Shen Ling'er in the show happened to demonstrate this ability.

That's why the Ho family contacted the police.

However, He Jingyan still harbored doubts until he actually met Shen Ling'er.

Thirty million is an astronomical figure for ordinary people.

For the He family, it wasn't just some loose change that they casually tossed away.

He needed to confirm whether the child was a product of the show or if there was something genuine about him.

And now.

It's just the journey to meet at the airport.

He has confirmed one thing.

Shen Ling'er is no ordinary child.

As for whether she can spot the fake chips, we'll have to wait until she actually sees the samples.

Zhao Lei suddenly leaned closer and whispered, "Mr. He, is your batch of fake chips causing you any trouble?"

The car became a little quieter.

Yang Mi immediately looked over.

He Jingyan did not evade the question, but he also did not elaborate too much.

"That's really troublesome."

"Don't worry, Teacher Zhao, let's eat and rest first today."

"Specific details will be presented after confirmation by the police and Ms. Yang Mi during formal communication."

Upon hearing this, Yang Mi's expression softened somewhat.

Proportion.

It's about moderation.

He didn't start talking in the car just because Zhao Lei asked.

There was no use of "the matter is urgent" to imply that Shen Ling'er must immediately get into character.

Shen Ling'er looked up and glanced at He Jingyan.

"Aren't you in a hurry?"

He Jingyan looked at her.

"urgent."

Shen Ling'er blinked.

He Jingyan continued, "But we can't rush things and let the kids watch things on an empty stomach."

Shen Ling'er was silent for two seconds, then nodded.

"You make a good point."

Zhao Lei immediately clapped his hands.

"Highly rated! Mr. He, this is the second time you've received such high praise!"

He Jingyan smiled.

"pleasure."

Shen Ling'er then added another sentence.

"It makes more sense to say it's better than the director."

The director was sitting in another car behind, and although he couldn't hear it, the live broadcast studio heard it.

The comments section was filled with laughter.

"The director is in the car behind, but the blame comes from the car in front."

He Jingyan quickly won Ling'er's trust by managing mealtimes.

"Even if you're in a hurry, you can't let a child watch something on an empty stomach. I give that sentence full marks."

Yang Mi was clearly a little relieved; He Jingyan has a very high EQ.

"He didn't treat Ling'er as a tool, which is a real plus."

"..."

Fifteen minutes later, the convoy pulled into a seaside hotel.

The hotel's exterior is not extravagant, yet it exudes understated luxury.

There wasn't an excessive crowd at the entrance; security had diverted the flow of people in advance.

When the production crew got out of the car, the hotel manager and his team were already waiting at the door.

He Jingyan got out of the car first, making way for Yang Mi and Shen Ling'er.

Shen Ling'er got out of the car carrying a small bag.

The sea breeze blows in.

Her little tuft of hair wobbled.

She looked up at the hotel and then at the floral arrangements at the entrance.

Zhao Lei leaned closer and asked, "How is it? Luxurious, right?"

Shen Ling'er thought for a moment.

"Flowers are not edible."

Zhao Lei: "..."

Bai Sisi laughed and said, "Why do you insist on making her evaluate things that can't be eaten?"

Zhao Lei looked helpless: "I just wanted to let her experience the grandeur."

Shen Ling'er said seriously, "I can't eat the 'show-off' either."

Zhao Lei: "Fine, I lose."

He Jingyan listened and smiled, then asked the hotel manager, "Is lunch ready?"

The hotel manager nodded immediately.

"It's all ready."

He Jingyan added, "The children's meals have been checked separately; they are low in oil and spice, and chicken drumsticks have also been prepared."

Shen Ling'er's ears twitched noticeably.

She looked up at He Jingyan.

"Really?"

He Jingyan nodded.

"It really exists."

Shen Ling'er nodded seriously.

"You are very reliable."

Zhao Lei gasped.

"Third time receiving a high rating!"

Bai Sisi smiled and said, "Mr. He has already earned enough reputation points with Ling'er."

He Jingyan bowed slightly and accepted the evaluation earnestly.

"Thanks."

Yang Mi couldn't help but laugh as he watched this scene.

Her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally felt a little relieved at that moment.

So far, all of He Jingyan's attitudes have made her feel comfortable.

No offense intended.

Do not rush.

Not aloof or superior.

They didn't use a coaxing tone to talk to Shen Ling'er just because she was a child.

He treated Shen Ling'er like a child.

They also treated Shen Ling'er as someone who needed to be respected when communicating with her.

This is very rare.

The group walked into the hotel.

Chen Doudou looked around so much that she could hardly take it all in.

"Mom, this light is so big!"

"Mom, that wall is shiny!"

"Mom, can I stay here?"

Lin Jia sighed, "If we don't stay here, where will we stay?"

Chen Doudou's eyes lit up.

"Can I stay for a long time?"

As Shen Ling'er passed by, she said calmly, "If the 30 million arrives, we can discuss it."

Chen Doudou immediately turned her head: "Then hurry up and get it to your account!"

Yang Mi: "..."

Zhao Lei laughed and helped He Chuan up.

"DouDou, what you said has the air of a business partner."

Shen Ling'er looked at Chen Doudou.

"You don't own any shares."

Chen Doudou was confused: "What are shares?"

Shen Ling'er said seriously, "It's about the right to allocate the hot pot."

Chen Doudou tensed up instantly: "Do I have one?"

Shen Ling'er: "It depends on your performance."

Chen Doudou immediately stood up straight.

"I will do well!"

Zhao Lei patted Chen Doudou on the shoulder.

"Child, you have been motivated by capital."

Bai Sisi couldn't stop laughing.

A new wave of comments flooded the screen.

"Shares = hotpot distribution rights, Ling'er Economics has a new product."

"Chen Doudou is willing to join a 30 million yuan project team for the sake of hot pot."

"He Jingyan is listening very attentively. Is he learning about child management?"

"This doesn't feel like a reception from a wealthy family; it's more like a kindergarten startup pitch."

Ling'er: The money hasn't arrived yet, all rights and interests are pending.

"The Macau version hasn't even been launched yet, but the financial system has already been established."

He Jingyan paused briefly before entering the restaurant.

He looked at Yang Mi.

"Miss Yang Mi, after lunch you can go back to your rooms to rest."

"If it's convenient this afternoon, I'll arrange a brief meeting."

"Police representatives will also participate online."

"If you feel that Ling'er's condition is not suitable, we can postpone it."

Yang Mi nodded.

"it is good."

She paused for a moment, then said, "Thank you for making such thoughtful arrangements."

He Jingyan smiled slightly.

"Of course."

"When the He family asks for help, they can't just talk about the price."

He said this in a very indifferent tone.

But Yang Mi could tell that this was the He family's attitude.

Zhao Lei whispered to Bai Sisi, "This young master really knows how to behave."

Bai Sisi nodded: "And it's not oily."

Zhao Lei: "Yes, the most valuable thing is that it's not pretentious."

Shen Ling'er looked up and glanced at He Jingyan.

"You're hiring people to help you, and you're even providing meals."

He Jingyan smiled and said, "That's right."

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"Better than some people."

Zhao Lei asked instinctively, "Who are some of these people?"

Shen Ling'er looked at him.

"you guess."

Zhao Lei: "..."

He shouldn't have asked.

This knife might be for him again.

The smile in He Jingyan's eyes became even more pronounced.

He originally thought that his job today was simply to pick people up from the hotel, calm them down, and wait for the formal communication in the afternoon.

But now he finds that just talking to Shen Ling'er is already a very new experience.

She's not the kind of kid who laughs easily when someone teases her.

She's not the kind of child who gets shy when praised by adults.

She has her own standards of judgment.

Moreover, the standards are very simple.

The money has arrived.

eat.

reliable.

Makes sense.

These words sound simple, but they are precisely the most important things in many complex situations.

He Jingyan suddenly felt a bit looking forward to the afternoon.

I'm not expecting to see a five-year-old perform magic.

Instead, we're looking forward to seeing from what angle she'll examine those fake bargaining chips that even the Ho family finds troublesome.

Of course, it's too early to say we're shocked.

The He family has met too many capable people.

Shen Ling'er is currently only someone he finds special.

Make him find it interesting.

This made him feel that there might indeed be something extraordinary hidden behind the name Shen Fei.

But what really makes He Jingyan lose his composure is...

Asking about expenses at the airport or chicken legs at the hotel isn't enough.

That's what he thought.

Just before lunch began, Shen Ling'er sat in her high chair and glanced down at the chicken leg that the waiter had brought over.

She didn't eat first.

Instead, she reached out her little hand, gently tapped the edge of the plate, and looked at the glistening oil on the surface of the chicken leg.

He Jingyan was just casually looking at it.

The next second, he heard Shen Ling'er frown and say something.

"This chicken leg has been placed on a different plate."

There was a moment of silence around the dining table.

The hotel manager's expression changed slightly.

He Jingyan's gaze finally stopped for the first time.
