Tomb Raider: What the hell is this strange commission?

"Of course you can think so." Chi Yu moved and changed to a more comfortable sitting position. "Among the people I have met, you are also the best looking one."

Hearing this, Xie Yuchen raised his eyebrows: "It sounds like you have quite a lot of experience."

Chi Yu smiled and said, "I guess so."

He reached out and pointed at the long-neglected document in Xie Yuchen's hand. "Is your work not important? How can you still have the time to chat with me here?"

Xie Yuchen did not answer the question immediately, but stared at him for a while.

It wasn't until Chi Yu raised her eyebrows at him and gave him a puzzled look that he smiled: "I couldn't concentrate on my work when you looked at me like that just now."

"Well, it seems that this is all my fault." Chi Yu said, "Should I take some practical actions now to gain your forgiveness?"

The young leader Xie did not comment on this, but he spread out his hands.

So Chi Yu reached out and took away the work content that did not belong to him from Xie Yuchen's hand.

The idle people in this small space disappeared.

Along with the idle people, the idle chatter also disappeared, leaving only the occasional sound of paper rubbing against each other as the two people flipped through the documents.

Most of the documents Xie Yuchen gave him were acquisition and investment plans for some small companies.

Evaluating small companies is something that every management of a large company will do. Their planning copy is like an exquisite little cake placed on a plate in a window, waiting to be picked by the favorite customer.

But if you eat too much cake, you will get tired of it one day. In Chi Yu's eyes, these plans are the kind that are tasteless to eat and a pity to throw away.

——Not that important, and not very interesting. No wonder Xie Yuchen showed it to him without much hesitation.

Chi Yu thought boredly.

The young and wealthy Xie Dangjia is the target that everyone wants to get. Those people surround Xie Yuchen, all with different reasons but the same purpose - to get his wealth.

Chi Yu was naturally no exception.

His foundation in this world is insignificant compared to the behemoth Jie family. Chi Yu certainly wants to obtain more resources and support through some shortcuts.

However, Xie Yuchen built a very high psychological defense for himself. He allowed those who pursued fame and fortune to come and go, and in the end, almost no one could be kept by Xie Yuchen's side - except Chi Yu.

Chi Yu would not be complacent about being the "special case". Just like every decision made by Xie Yuchen had his own considerations, Chi Yu's eyes were always calm and sober when he looked at him.

Xie Yuchen chose Chi Yu only because he needed Chi Yu's ability. And this need was not without cost, and they both knew it tacitly.

——As long as Xie Yuchen can pay enough chips for it, the scale will always tilt on his side.

That's it.

Chi Yu lowered his eyes, and all his thoughts were gathered in them.

"What do you think of this plan?"

Xie Yuchen handed him another document. Chi Yu took it and glanced through it.

"It looks quite interesting, and it's not an exaggeration to say it's perfect," Chi Yu said. "But I remember this company was involved in a fraud scandal last year, and it hasn't been able to clear itself up yet."

Chi Yu commented sarcastically: "So they put the cooperation plan in your hands, probably to defraud investment, and use this part of the funds to prolong their own lives. This plan is a complete scam. If you really consider its feasibility, then I will doubt your professional level."

"From an investment perspective, it's not possible, but from another perspective, it's not a bad idea." Xie Yuchen sighed, "But I'm sad that you actually doubted whether I really believed it - my previous performance shouldn't be so bad, right?"

Chi Yu didn't say anything. He raised the document in his hand, looked at Xie Yuchen, and made a gesture to him as if he wanted to hear more details.

So Xie Yuchen said: "Since it wants funds, I will help it. Just change some of the regulations slightly..."

“For them, it’s just a matter of accepting some innocent bundling to get more support and get out of bankruptcy. They can’t say no to that little bit of a request because, as you’re used to saying, it’s the best option.”

Xie Yuchen did not continue speaking because he knew that the explanation he gave was enough to satisfy Chi Yu.

And Chi Yu indeed showed a fairly satisfied expression just as he expected.

"A company on the verge of bankruptcy will not refuse someone to help it out. But there is no such thing as a free lunch. What it eats, it can only pay back with itself."

"Your idea coincides with mine. It seems that you are indeed an outstanding capitalist, there is no doubt about that." Chi Yu said, handing the plan back to its original owner.

He opened the car door and received a puzzled look from Xie Yuchen: "Where are you going?"

Chi Yu turned his eyes away from the red glowing area on the Moyu map and replied calmly, "Your surveyor hasn't come back yet. I'll go check the situation."

However, judging from the enemy details displayed on the map, they seemed to have accidentally stepped on a hibernating snake den. Now that area on the map was densely populated with snake shadows.

But it doesn’t matter, those snakes are not very poisonous, and they are a professional match for him, so it is very convenient to deal with them.

I just don't know how the two unlucky guys who were responsible for sampling are doing. Mainly referring to their mental state.

After all, no matter how brave a person is, he would probably be scared when faced with a bunch of snakes suddenly appearing.

——Although it has little to do with him personally, he is now mainly doing things for money.

Chi Yu thought without much empathy.

Not long after Chi Yu finished speaking, the intercom rang, warning the camp members who were waiting there that the action team was attacked by a swarm of snakes.

Xie Yuchen thought for a moment, put down the documents in his hand, and touched the coat next to him: "I'll go with you."

So when the two of them bypassed the gravel mountain that blocked the vehicle's progress and climbed up to the designated survey site together, they saw——

——Beside the clear spring that seemed out of place with the surrounding desolate scenery, several guards, who were using trekking poles as weapons to drive away the snakes that were eyeing them hungrily, were protecting the two surveyors while evacuating to a safe direction.

"It's really rare to see so many snakes moving around in this temperature."

Xie Yuchen smiled and looked at Chi Yu, "But it looks like they can handle it themselves, so we don't need to worry too much."

"They have stayed longer than I expected, and I prefer to keep things as I originally planned."

Chi Yu said this and raised his hand slightly.

Xie Yuchen only noticed a faint white light of scales flashing across his cuffs, and then the snakes that vaguely formed a "tide" disappeared in an instant.
