Now that things had come to this, it would be too embarrassing to take back his words.
However, Lin Jie felt from the bottom of his heart that Ji Zhixu, as the young lady of Luo Er Resources, wouldn't really give him something worthless. That wouldn't match his status.
"Nothing valuable" must be the other party's humble words. It must be.
Alas, talking to these upper-class people is so tiring. From time to time, you have to consider whether the other party is telling the truth or not.
— — Lin Jie completely forgot that he was just being polite.
Speaking of which, Ji Zhixu really did come to give a gift … He was just joking. He didn't expect that he would hit the nail on the head.
These two are really … too sensible!
Lin Jie's gaze fell on the big box in the driver's hand. That's the gift? It looks heavy. Could it be a box of money?!
… Forget it, forget it. It's better not to have such expectations.
Lin Jie felt sad. He remembered the last time he opened Cherry's box full of expectations, but what he saw was a stone heart.
He didn't want to experience that roller-coaster of ups and downs a second time. Remember this: http://m.9biquge.com
On the other side, Ji Zhixu had already opened the box.
"Clack."
The box's buckle was opened, and all the items in the box were revealed. In an instant, it almost emitted a dazzling light.
Lin Jie's attention was immediately attracted. He was stunned for a moment. In a trance, he felt like he was in the movie set of Little Master, and a golden light shot into the sky … Of course, this was a bit exaggerated.
However, the items in the box were really eye-catching. It was like the effect of opening a treasure chest full of treasures that often appeared in anime.
The "worthless" that rich people talked about was really used to show off!
Most of the items in the box looked priceless. There was a crown made of jade, a pearl necklace made of silver, a lifelike statue of a character, a curved dagger inlaid with gems, and especially that pure gold apple!
Pure gold!
Such a big one!
Lin Jie tried his best to control the corners of his mouth. He made himself smile like an expert who wasn't moved by money, not a common person who was greedy for money.
After all, he had already said it. If his performance was too ugly, wouldn't his image as a life mentor be ruined?
As expected of the young mistress of Luo Er's resources, she was so generous!
Please give me more of these cheap things!
Since the first time we met three months ago, I had started to deceive … cough cough, chicken soup for the soul. Today, it finally bore fruit.
Moreover, he was given such a huge pile at once.
Ji Zhixu said nervously, "These … are my gifts. What do you think?"
Lin Jie smiled and said, "I think … Well, it's not bad. However, isn't it a little too expensive? Is it really okay to give it to me?"
Ji Zhixu became even more nervous. She felt that Boss Lin's smile was a little too bright, as if there was some other meaning in it.
This sentence must be a test to see if her determination was firm enough!
"No, no, no, it's not valuable at all. Compared to the help you've given me in the past, these gifts are truly insignificant. If you're willing to accept them, it will be the greatest affirmation to me."
Ji Zhixu's eyes were full of pleading.
Lin Jie was in a difficult position.
Although he was really just a good person who took pleasure in helping others and didn't ask for anything in return.
However, since the customer was so insistent on giving him these cheap gifts, he could only reluctantly accept them.
"If that's the case …"
The young man opposite her sighed. Ji Zhixu's heart also rose. Then, she heard him say, "Alright then. The gift is light, but the thought is heavy. I'll accept these gifts."
Ji Zhixu was stunned. Then, her heart trembled violently. She clenched her fists and almost lost her composure.
He accepted them!
In other words, he agreed!
At this moment, the fate of Luo Er's resources could be said to have completely changed!
She took a deep breath and stabilized her emotions. Then, in a trembling voice, she said, "If you can like these gifts, it will be Luo Er's greatest honor …"
"Although they're not expensive, I quite like them. You're very considerate."
Lin Jie's expression didn't change as he reached out his hand. He originally wanted to take the golden apple, but he paused halfway. Wouldn't that expose his inner thoughts?
No, no.
He glanced to the side and saw an inconspicuous stone fragment.
What was that?
Among all the treasures, only this thing didn't look valuable. However, there seemed to be some strange runes on it. According to Lin Jie's experience, it should be an ancient object that was excavated by an archeologist.
Did he hear that Cherry had given him an ancient fossil, so he specially brought something similar to it?
Anyway, it could be used to "disguise" it.
Lin Jie picked up the stone piece and said seriously, "Sometimes, the value of an item doesn't depend on how valuable it looks on the surface, but on the additional value it has. It's the same for people. Your birth can't decide your fate. Only you can control your future. It's better to rely on yourself than on others. Take care of yourself."
Although he said that, everyone had a rebellious mentality.
Just like when the trickster came up and said, "Your glabella is dark. You don't have long to live. I have some medicine that can help you …" Then, you would definitely run away.
If the trickster said, "This fate, alas, I can't save you. I can't save you." Then, he turned around and left. Maybe you would chase after him and beg him to save you.
Lin Jie's words were similar to the latter part. He said that you should save yourself. But if you really had a way, you wouldn't ask for help. You would be more anxious.
The so-called hoodwinking had to be done in a manner that was neither friendly nor distant …
Ji Zhixu hurriedly nodded and smiled bitterly. "I understand. My request this time is overstepping my boundaries. But I'm willing to pay any price …"
While speaking, her eyes fell on the stone fragment in Lin Jie's hand. She couldn't help but sigh. Boss Lin was indeed worthy of his reputation. He could see the most mysterious and valuable one at a glance.
Lin Jie felt that Miss Ji's eyes were strange. He just took a stone, but why did she seem to see him taking the golden apple?
But when he looked down, he suddenly realized that he was still holding the ruby that Andrew had given him.
"Well, it doesn't matter what the price is. We don't need to treat each other as outsiders."
Lin Jie smiled. He picked up the ruby and shook it. "When Andrew came to apologize, he gave me a small handicraft that looked like a clock and this ruby."
He changed the topic. "Do you know Zerom?"
Ji Zhixu was stunned. Then, she said, "Yes, a deputy director of the Truth Department. He died recently …"
Lin Jie smiled. "Yes, Andrew called this ruby Zerom. Don't you think it's funny?"
