Chapter 805: Chapter 805

"That’s right, admitting mistakes and improving is the greatest virtue. With a senior executive like you at Green Shade Culture, the future looks promising."

Liu Zheng said with an expression of satisfaction.

"Mr. Liu, you’re joking. How could a vice director like me be considered a senior executive?"

Vice Director Li said with a wry smile.

"Not now, but you will be in the future. Last time, I helped your company eliminate so many bad apples, it’s time for you to rise as a good one."

"Mr. Liu, let’s talk about some things privately; some people feel uncomfortable hearing them."

Vice Director Li smiled and said.

"If they’re uncomfortable, they should listen more; eventually, they’ll get used to it."

Liu Zheng said indifferently.

However, he didn’t continue speaking; some things are better left just hinted at.

"The company wants to entrust you to help find that mother and daughter. The company can guarantee that as long as they cooperate, no violence will be used against them, and their future life will be ensured."

Vice Director Li said.

Clearly, this favorable condition was offered because of Liu Zheng.

Liu Zheng shook his head.

"It’s not about disrespecting you, or putting on airs; I truly don’t have time. There are tasks from City Hall, the sewers, the cemetery, and restaurants that aren’t completed, and even more that I can’t talk about."

"To put it bluntly, even the directors at City Hall might not be busier than I am. I’m spending cabbage money worrying about White Dragon concerns."

He sighed and said. This content belongs to novel~fire~net

"So, Mr. Liu likes eating cabbage? I happen to have a relative growing vegetables outside the city; I’ll ask him to pick the best ones to send over."

Vice Director Li said.

"No, I was just giving an example. Hmm, though I must admit I do like eating it. Alright, send me some then."

Liu Zheng gave up explaining.

Favors are reciprocated; one-sided gifts can easily turn great favors into great grudges.

Moreover, Niu Ma, being a herbivore, can’t just eat meat every day; it’s a good opportunity to get some green food for its stomach.

"Alright, then I’ll call you when the time comes."

"Just send it directly to the ’Imhotep’ Clinic; I often go there anyway."

He planned to ask everyone he could think of who had "fire," since the Tomb Guardian didn’t specify how much was needed anyway. Anything extra could be stored for future use.

Vice Director Li suddenly adopted a listening pose.

"Mr. Liu, the company hopes you can extend a helping hand in rescuing the mother and daughter. If both are successfully rescued, the company can offer you an additional million in payment."

A moment later, it said.

Rescuing people, the most troublesome part is the preliminary investigation and preparation; the final action is actually the simplest.

He had no psychological burden, so he would opt for the Russian-style rescue method, betting the hostage’s life against the criminal’s.

"But I don’t need the million; just give me another bomb like the one used last time to blow up Red Forest Culture."

With the power of the Shark Tech Bomb, it should be enough to take out a lottery shop even without painting it red.

"Please wait, I’ll check."

Vice Director Li made the listening pose again.

"The company says it’s no longer available."

A few minutes later, it said regretfully.

"Something with less power will do, just get more of them; quantity makes up for the lack of power."

Liu Zheng compromised.

"When do you need them?"

Vice Director Li asked.

"The sooner the better. You know my personality; the more heart someone puts into helping me, the more I’ll help them in return."

"Understood, I’ll emphasize this to the company."

Vice Director Li nodded.

"It’s time; let’s sign off on the delivery."

Liu Zheng glanced at the time, handing over the delivery to it.

"I know you’re not convenient, so I won’t ask you up for tea. This is some tea I just got, the quality is decent, you can take it back and try it."

Vice Director Li also handed over a box he had kept hidden behind him.

Liu Zheng took the box and opened it. Inside was a round tea cake with an embossed image of a five-clawed coiling dragon and a circle of auspicious clouds around it.

The tea cake was overall dark brown, but within the leaves ran red veins, resembling capillaries.

"Name: Phoenix Blood Pu’er Small Dragon Cake"

"Effect: After use player’s physique +2, only effective on first use."

"Note: Made from Phoenix Blood Tea Tree leaves, highly favored by upper society, especially dragons and birds. Due to the wilting of the Phoenix Blood Tea Tree, this type of tea cake is a limited edition. Not recommended to drink in the presence of the Phoenix clan."

"Can it be carried out of the instance: Yes"

"Without questioning whether your suggestion doubts my intelligence, where am I supposed to find a Phoenix?"

Liu Zheng rolled his eyes.

"Oh, turns out there really is one."

Si Xue’s office already had one locked up, and there was a French Plane Tree waiting to become a Phoenix Egg.

"This tea originates from the Phoenix Blood Tea Tree, but the last one withered ten years ago. The Six Feather Tea House offered a high reward for a living Phoenix or related information."

Vice Director Li explained.

He frowned upon hearing the last sentence.

"The Phoenix only rests on the Guo Wutong, only feeds on trained food, and only drinks from the Sweet Spring, hence its purity. The tea tree grown from its blood is indeed a rare tea."

Vice Director Li suddenly made a literary reference.

"Everyone knows this?"

Liu Zheng said without any context.

"Hard to say. I only learned it from a tea friend. Six Feather Tea House seems to intend to inflate the price of Phoenix Blood Tea Cake. But after investigating, it appears they don’t have any debt issues or plans to expand their operations, which is quite odd."
