"Oh?" Su Xiaoqiang narrowed her eyes. She already knew in her heart what Lu Ming was going to say.
"In other words, it's definitely not your figure that I'm attracted to, let alone your personality. What I'm attracted to is only your Qia."
Boom!
A crisp sound was heard, Su Xiaoqiang smiled sweetly, and the fingers in her little hands were bent backwards fiercely.
hiss--!
Lu Mingfei’s eyes suddenly widened, the base of his tail shuddered violently, his whole body stiffened like a bamboo pole, and he couldn’t help but groan in pain.
Whoosh!
He pulled out the red fingers that Su Xiaoqiang had twisted open at a speed even faster than when he was fighting Chu Zihang, and blew on them.
Depend on!
How cruel!
This woman is really not easy to mess with!
It shouldn't be broken, right?
“No matter how you change, sometimes you’re still as mean as ever, Lu Mingfei,” Su Xiaoqiang inexplicably saw the familiar meanness of the past in the current Lu Mingfei.
"How can you talk about being a gigolo so seriously and bluntly in front of the person involved?" Su Xiaoqiang clapped her hands coldly.
"Humph! But it doesn't matter. It would be better if it's like you said, that you only care about my money. Then I won't have another poor person who can't get the love he wants."
"That's what we were talking about? The stakes, right? Three years of snacks!"
Seeing Lu Mingfei frowning, Su Xiaoqiang crossed her arms and snorted coldly.
"Not enough? How about I also pay for your snacks for four years of college?"
"Don't worry, I, Su Xiaoqiang, am a man of my words. Even if you go to Siberia to attend university, I will send someone to mail it to you!"
"Wait, that's not the point. The point is, if I remember correctly, didn't you just pack my snacks for three years of high school?" Lu Mingfei looked confused.
Is this the point?
"Really? Why don't I remember it? How about you repeat it again and see if I can remember it?" Su Xiaoqiang shrugged and denied it, without any intention of admitting it.
"Tsk, forget it." Lu Mingfei said with disdain, "Brother Lu, I really don't need that little money now."
If it were in the past, he would still argue with the little angel.
But now?
Isn't it true that Talu, the millionaire, Ming Fei is bragging?
The balance in the little angel's card may not be as much as his.
Lu Mingfei stopped thinking halfway, and his suspicious eyes fell on Su Xiaoqiang's pretty face.
He thought about how Uncle Su's daughter-slave looked yesterday, and suddenly felt a little uncertain.
Good guy!
This matter is really uncertain.
He forgot that Su Xiaoqiang was not only an only child.
The point is, her family really has a mine!
"No, Lu Mingfei, what's that look in your eyes now?" Su Xiaoqiang glared at Lu Mingfei angrily, always feeling that Lu Mingfei was thinking about something very wrong.
"A jealous look." Lu Mingfei whispered bitterly and answered truthfully.
If possible, he would like to exchange his birth background with Su Xiaoqiang.
This girl was indeed born with a silver spoon in her mouth. She cannot be compared with him, who was born with a brick in his mouth!
"Lu Mingfei, are you sick?" Su Xiaoqiang rolled her eyes, feeling confused. She couldn't keep up with Lu Mingfei's train of thought.
Is this guy really a human?
For many times, she had no idea what Lu Mingfei was thinking.
"Yes, I am sick. It is the most frightening disease in the world besides death."
Lu Mingfei suddenly became depressed and whispered softly,
“Poverty disease.”
Now that I think about it, the one million in his card means nothing.
Bah! Nothing!
Not to mention the depreciation of money due to inflation, if you think about it carefully, it doesn't seem to take long.
Why not take some time to buy a house to hedge against inflation?
He remembered that there was a recent economics-related newspaper article saying that investing in real estate was a good way to go in the next decade or so, at least it could maintain its value.
Well, and we have to find some way to make money.
Lu Mingfei nodded to himself.
He remembered that there was still a blind box. Although he was not sure whether Lucky A, "May Your Wishes Come True", had cooled down or not, it should have recovered after such a long rest.
If you open it now, you should be able to get something good.
Lu Mingfei fell into deep thought. He planned to take some time to open the last blind box in his hand. Who knows what good things he might get from it.
If Su Xiaoqiang knew about Lu Mingfei's situation and thoughts just now, she would definitely go up and kick him a few more times.
Good guy!
You are a teenage high school student who made a million dollars by yourself and you still say you are poor?
Just ask what else you want!
In today's world, how many people have this ability and opportunity?
If you don’t believe it, just stand on the street, shout “I have a million”, and then show your bank card balance and see how many murderous looks you get.
One million is already a lot, okay!
Lu Mingfei shook his head violently and stared at Su Xiaoqiang, then he came back to his senses and realized that they were talking about the bet.
But he couldn't think of what he wanted after thinking for a long time, so he waved his hand indifferently.
"Forget it, I just want someone who obeys orders like you."
"Deal, but you can't use it to offset the one I already have." Su Xiaoqiang shrugged and agreed casually. She had already made up her mind to work hard for several months to get rid of Lu Mingfei.
You little brat! If Sister Su doesn't show her power, you think she's a sick cat, right?
At the end of the semester, I will let Lu Mingfei know how low-key and introverted Su Xiaoqiang is in her studies!
Lu Mingfei curled his lips, feeling troubled that the little plan he had just made in his mind had been shattered.
Damn it, this time I really owe you an order.
He just nodded weakly, "Okay, okay, I won't cancel it out."
"By the way, there are quite a lot of workers around here. Is there some construction project?" Lu Mingfei looked around in surprise, his face full of confusion.
He just noticed that there were many people wearing orange safety helmets gathered in groups in various corners.
There were a few young men holding wrinkled, unknown-brand cigarettes in their mouths. After the smoke dispersed, their bloodshot eyes stared intently at the poker cards in their hands.
There were also a few older guys who were leaning against the electric poles in a sloppy manner. From time to time, they would pick up the large white plastic bottles beside them and take a few gulps, leaving their weather-beaten faces drunk.
Compared to the masses walking through the busy streets, this group of people was somewhat of a peacekeeper.
"You're surprised by what you've seen. He must be here to ask for his wages." Su Xiaoqiang answered casually, with a flash of understanding in her eyes. "Everyone in the circle knows that the boss of the nearby shopping mall is an uncle who likes to delay wages. This has happened many times."
"If I remember correctly, the commercial building nearby has been completed for more than a year, right? You wealthy bosses, why do you like to do this?" Lu Mingfei pursed his lips and whispered, looking at the workers nearby, "You obviously don't need that little bit of salary, right? Why don't you pay the wages for so long, and let those poor people who are waiting for money to eat and see a doctor hang on."
"Hey! What do you mean by 'you'? Lu Mingfei! Let me make it clear first, my father has never defaulted on workers' wages! Never!" Su Xiaoqiang glanced at Lu Mingfei unhappily, then looked at the migrant workers not far away with pity in her eyes and sighed slightly.
"It's hard to say. If you have someone in your family who studies civil engineering, you will know that when building commercial buildings and other projects, you need to strictly control all costs."
She looked at Lu Mingfei gently, shook her finger and introduced him.
"Simply put, project-centeredness means spending the least amount of money and completing the required tasks on schedule. In cost management, the easiest thing to add restrictions to is labor costs."
“So most engineering projects adopt this approach.”
Su Xiaoqiang's deep eyes fell on Lu Mingfei's face, revealing a part of the weird reality that no one could resist.
“The wages owed to workers on the current project will be settled only after the project is completed and the funds for the next project are in place.”
“What if the funding for the next project is delayed?” Lu Mingfei frowned slightly, realizing the blind spot.
"Then they will always be owed," Su Xiaoqiang glanced at the scattered migrant workers, "and thus the current situation of demanding wages will occur."
"Are you concerned about that part of the salary, or are you more concerned about the image collapse and business impact caused by the wage arrears?"
Su Xiaoqiang shrugged with emotion.
"This is something that cannot be said explicitly, it is a game between some people and others."
Su Xiaoqiang lowered her eyes and whispered, somewhat moved by the scene.
Although she was indeed a bit extravagant in spending money, she didn't seem to be that sensitive about money, nor was she the type of person who cared about the things in front of her.
But in fact it is not the case.
Her father once took Su Xiaoqiang to inspect his own mine when she was very young.
From the workers who climbed, drilled and carried things in the tunnels at risk of their lives, she, whose cheeks were stained with coal dust, heard many stories behind the complaints.
So Su Xiaoqiang knew very well what that part of the salary meant to the migrant workers nearby.
They are just like the working people.
Among them,
Some children may be working part-time with dark circles under their eyes, waiting for the overdue payment to pay the tuition fees that have been overdue and are constantly urged by the school. At this time, the only people that children can completely rely on are themselves and their parents.
Among them,
Maybe someone's parents are in a cold city, in a cold hospital, lying on a cold bed, gasping for breath, waiting for a life-saving operation that can only be performed once the money is in place.
Among them,
There are also people who eat steamed buns and wait to send the money back to the remote countryside. The new clothes bought with the money and the meat floating in the hot meals are enough to tell the children and the elderly that their parents and children who are wandering in who knows where are probably living well.
In fact, it is not just a simple unpaid salary, it may even be the money that children use to secure their future, the money that saves parents’ lives, and the money that gives peace of mind to those far away.
Therefore, for that seemingly insignificant sum of money, even a small person can sometimes burst out with extraordinary obsession - just like the ordinary people who have been waiting nearby for who knows how long and have dealt with the security guards countless times.

Chapter 190 Everyone has had this experience
call!
"Now that I think about it, nicknames like Little Goddess do sound really impressive, but I'm actually just a nobody," Su Xiaoqiang sighed suddenly, lowered her eyes, and whispered to herself.
"All I can do is try my best to ensure that the projects that the old man and I take over in the future will not be so indebted to our subordinates."
"I can't change the present by myself, let alone the future which is likely to remain the same."
This was the first time Lu Mingfei saw Su Xiaoqiang like this, and he was stunned.
"Su"
He was about to say something but was interrupted by Su Xiaoqiang.
"Wait! Lu Mingfei! What are you looking at?" Even Su Xiaoqiang blushed after accidentally revealing her true feelings.
She suddenly stretched out her hands in front of her body to indicate silence, and explained with a blushing face,
"There's no need to look at me in such a weird way."
Su Xiaoqian subconsciously withdrew her right palm to cover her chest, took a step forward, and stared at Lu Mingfei closely.
"You should have had that, too."
"At a certain moment, I suddenly realized that I am not the protagonist of this world."
"At a certain moment, I discovered that this world is not as beautiful as we thought. Fairy tales are just lies."
