Zhu Yu was a little puzzled by the sudden arrival of these two people. In fact, it was not the first time that they came back early, but it was a coincidence that the two of them met together.
"I left first. I couldn't stay at home anymore. I called the two of them when I left. It turned out that Qin Fei had something to do, and Dalong happened to want to leave, so he came."
Ran Jie took the water from Zhu Fei in the yard, thanked him and explained the reason.
"What's going on? Why can't you stay still?" Zhu Yu asked with a smile.
At this time, Zhu Fei brought another large plate of peaches and placed it on the small table under the grape trellis. Then he smiled and said to Ran Jie and Cao Dalong:
"You guys talk slowly. I'm going to get busy."
Then we went to the vegetable garden.
Looking at Zhu Fei's back, Cao Dalong's eyes looked strange.
"Oh, I can't bring it up. I was quiet for three days when I got back." Ran Jie said with a bitter look on his face, "Then there were blind dates one after another. It's good this time, no one will say that my job is unstable.
Especially since I put another five hundred thousand dollars into my family, and my mother is so talkative, and everyone knows that I got a good boss and got rich, and then the blind dates came one after another..."
He gestured with his fingers and said excitedly to Zhu Yu:
"Can you believe it? One day, I had more than forty blind dates at once! The girls who came over were all queuing up in front of my house! I never want to go on a blind date again in this life... That situation was scarier than going to the Piranha Jungle!
I never thought that one day I would be treated like a commodity and let others judge me! "
Zhu Yu laughed loudly after hearing this, it was so fun to think about it!
"You're still smiling... Do you know? The first thing those girls said when they saw me was - I like your conditions. I think we are a good match. You see you are so rich. Give it to me in the city. How about buying a house and a car, and when we get married, I will take care of the money?"
Ran Jie imitated the girl's appearance and said such words, a bit yin and yang, Zhu Yu covered his stomach and waved his hands hurriedly:
"Stop talking, stop talking, if you keep talking, I'm going to burst from laughter... Hahahaha..."
Ran Jie returned to normal:
"Tell me, how could I stay in such a day? So I went out to buy something and left. Just like that, girls added my contact information and sent me photos every day, asking to be with me. Everywhere…”
He held up his phone and showed it to Zhu Yu:
"Look, it's only been a few days, and there's so much news I haven't read..."
Looking at the string of 99+ signs, Zhu Yu was also a little surprised:
"Isn't this too exaggerated?"
"Hey, the girl in the photo looks pretty good!"
Ran Jie snorted:
"Learn about the four major evil arts in Asia! Don't say that when you meet a real person! As long as one of them has the appearance standard of Croya, I won't run away!"
"Eh? Are you still targeting the boss's wife?" Cao Dalong said angrily from the side: "Don't blame me for not reminding you, the boss is easy to talk about other things, but you have to dare to use your mind in this regard..."
"Fuck you, I just compared it with the appearance standard. Even a blind person can see that Kroya is only focused on the boss."
After saying that, he glanced at Zhu Yu a little guiltily.
Zhu Yu didn't take it to heart and turned to ask Cao Dalong:
"how about you?"
"I...hehe." Cao Dalong looked at the clouds in the western sky with a somewhat lonely expression and said, "I'm sad."
"What happened? You were dumped?" Zhu Yu asked curiously. It wouldn't be a big deal if he really got dumped.
"If I get dumped, it doesn't matter to me. After all, I'm young and I still have to find someone. But this time I was hurt by my family."
"Family members? Your family..."
"I also have a brother at home." Cao Dalong glanced at Zhu Fei who was busy in the vegetable garden, "I made most of the money I made in the past few times and gave it to my family."
There is nothing unusual about this. Zhu Yu and Ran Jie communicated more. Most soldiers were filial. Before getting married, most of the money they earned was given to their families.
There is a guilt and compensation mentality involved. After all, loyalty and filial piety cannot be balanced at the same time. During the years in the army, I couldn't take care of my family, and I inevitably felt unworthy of my parents.
"This time when I went back, my family didn't ask me if I was tired or miserable outside. They first asked me for money. They said that the money they gave me a few times before bought my brother a house and a car, and now there is still a part of the money needed for decoration. ……hehe……"
Cao Dalong raised his head, as if looking at the bees flying on the grape trellis:
"They don't worry about whether I'm in danger or tired when I make money outside. They just think it's easy for me to make money and my brother has no ability, so they use my money to spend on my brother first - anyway. It’s a family…”
Before he finished speaking, Cao Dalong wiped his face, lowered his head and stopped talking.
Zhu Yu knew that this was really sad.
In fact, no matter how many people on the outside hurt you, as long as your heart is strong, you don't need to care.
The ones who hurt you the most are the people closest to you. It may be a casual word, an unintentional joke, or a self-righteous "for your own good."
"Eat a peach." Zhu Yu stuffed the washed peach into his mouth, "This is the famous May peach here. It ripens early but is sweet."
Cao Dalong took a hard bite of the peach, lowered his head to eat, occasionally wiped his mouth, and said: "I really envy the relationship between you and your brother..."
"Hehehe." Zhu Yu smiled, "I'm just going to stay at home these days, don't think about any other nonsense, come with me to catch fish and touch loaches.
If I make more, I will let my family freeze it in the freezer and eat it in the winter to improve immunity. "
"How dare you treat us as free labor?" Ran Jie pretended to complain, "No, at least you have to provide delicious food every day, right, Dalong?"
"That must be there!" Cao Dalong said with a smile after having recovered from the peach.
They are not hypocritical people, and they know that such things can only be solved slowly by themselves - the family has no choice but to adapt, or escape, or resist, or compromise, or other methods.
Life has to be lived.
A few days later, Qin Fei came over. He didn't mention anything at home, he just said it was time to leave.
The four of them packed their bags again and flew to Europe.
In Stockholm, the long-awaited Kroja finally joined the team.
"I have been waiting for you for a long time and have made a lot of preparations." Croya talked to Zhu Yu excitedly.
At this time, Croya was wearing a camouflage uniform. Although his hair was longer, it was still not shoulder-length. Perhaps because he felt it was in the way, he pinned it behind his ears with two hairpins. It felt very cool.
She counted her preparations on her fingers:
"Two off-road vehicles, half a month's worth of supplies, maps, equipment, medicine... Don't worry, I'm a professional!"
Zhu Yu joked:
"You provided this on your own initiative, I won't reimburse you!"
"You..." Croya didn't expect that he had been preparing carefully for so long, and he just waited for such a philistine sentence, and he suddenly felt sad.
But when she looked up at Zhu Yu's smile, she realized that the other person was joking. She immediately became angry and raised her fist to hit the other person:
"You bully people!"
Zhu Yu grabbed the fist that was originally very strong, but then lost its strength in an instant, and said with a smile:
"I see you are so excited, why don't I pour some cold water on you! You are too excited, not suitable for treasure hunting."
"I know!" Kroya said with a mouthful, "I not only prepare things, but also serve as a guide and translator, so I found a treasure this time, so I have to share more!"
Speaking of this, Zhu Yu took advantage of the situation and asked the question he had always wanted to ask:
"Then what kind of remuneration do you plan to ask for? A share of the treasure, or a fixed remuneration plus bonus?"
"What do you say?" Kroya heard that Zhu Yu was getting down to business, so he sat down and held Zhu Yu's hand with his backhand and asked.
"If it's divided, you get 10% of the treasure, which is 10%." Zhu Yu looked businesslike:
"If it is a fixed remuneration, then it will be 100,000 euros for this trip. If the treasure is found, then a bonus of 100,000 euros will be added. If it is not found, there will be no bonus."
"The former...if I can't find it, then I won't get anything, and the early investment will be in vain?" Croya understood deeply.
"Yes. You're smart."
"Then I choose..." Croya rolled his eyes, "I choose 10% of the treasure... Why is it 10%? So little? Generally, those who form a treasure hunt partnership will have at least 30% of the share. That’s right!”
"No, no, no." Zhu Yu waved his hand and said, "Since we are talking about share, we are male to female. In fact, we got the clues for this treasure hunt. Think about it, could we have found the treasure without you?"
Croya was a little frustrated - in fact, she knew very well that even without her joining, Zhu Yu and the others would still be able to find the treasure.
At most, she is the icing on the cake, not a help in times of need.
After all, 80% of people in Su Weidian can speak English, so the role of his translator is not as great as imagined.
Besides, how much does it cost to hire a translator now?
"Okay, okay. Ten percent is ten percent." He rolled his eyes, "If we can really find their treasure, even if it's just ten percent, it might be worth tens of millions."
Zhu Yu nodded. Although he looked like he was gambling, Croya's choice was actually very wise.
Calling Ran Jie and the other two people who had left deliberately to avoid suspicion, Zhu Yu said:
"Now let's make things clear. From now on, you three can also be considered my partners. I will give Croya a ten percent share of this treasure hunt.
I think you know the reason. The three of you together have a 10% share. What do you think? "
"I agree, I completely agree!" Cao Dalong hurriedly raised his hand.
"The boss offered us a favor, so we naturally agreed." Ran Jie smiled happily.
Qin Fei also nodded: "Agree."
Croya didn't know, and he couldn't figure it out.
But Ran Jie and the three of them knew it!
In the past, it was all employees' money, 50,000 yuan each time, which is actually a lot of money from employees.
But they knew very well how much Zhu Yu could take each time.
This time, although it seems that the 10% share between three people is relatively small. But how much is 10% of a profit of at least tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars each time?
No fool would want it!
As for the comparison between three talents and Croja alone - can it be the same? Where is this place? This is Su Weidian!
Princess Su Weidian does everything smoothly on her own territory, right?
So they don’t think this ratio is harsh at all!
In fact, the three of them were very satisfied participating in the treasure hunt and earning employees' wages.
Now Zhu Yu has directly promoted them to the status of partners. If they are not satisfied, they are really worse than pigs and dogs.
After all, if they really have to leave Zhu Yu, can they go treasure hunting?
Of course.
But can it have the current success rate?
Even if you think about it with your toenails, it’s impossible!
The matter was settled like that.
Zhu Yu and others took a look at the material preparations made by Croya. It has to be said that professional people do things more professionally. Basically, everything is ready, and there is nothing missing.
The only thing that worries Cao Dalong is that he still can't satisfy his hometown stomach when it comes to food.
There's no way around it. Only when you give up can you gain something. Zhu Yu did have a way, but it was not good to be too outrageous in order to show off his saint in front of others.
Several people discussed it and planned to set off the next day.
This time it was a private matter and we did not go to the palace, so the departure was extremely casual and went smoothly.
After two hours of walking west from Stockholm, we arrived at Owl Town.
"This owl town has existed for hundreds of years. At the beginning, it was a noble knight clan and a few families. Later it gradually became a small town. By the way, there is a mine nearby, but Now abandoned.”
It seems that Croya has done some preparations.
"I have already contacted a local resident." Croal took some credit and said proudly:
"We live in their house. The old man in this family is over eighty years old, and he may have some memories of what happened at that time. Also, his children have all gone out to work, so there are many empty houses."
Although Mr. Andre was over eighty years old, his steps were still relatively vigorous, and he warmly greeted Croya and the others into his yard.
The houses of residents in Owl Town seem to be gathered together casually, without any planning. They are all the same as ancestral houses, but the vegetation is relatively well maintained, and it looks like a fairy tale town.
A road passes through the edge of the town, adding some modern features to the town.
Almost all the buildings in the town are made of stone and look like they are tens or hundreds of years old.
Mr. Andre was very talkative. After Zhu Yu and the others settled down, he took the initiative to invite a few young people to drink tea in the yard and started chatting.
Croya deliberately brought the topic to the war that affected the whole world decades ago.
Mr. Andre showed a thoughtful expression, took a sip of black tea, and said slowly:
"Actually... I was still young at the time and can hardly remember anything. I only remember that one year, many cars passed by the town and went west. After a long time, they rumbled to the east again..."
Croya and Zhu Yu looked at each other with expressions of surprise in their eyes.
This has confirmed the authenticity of the news.
Zhu Yu thought to himself, Kroya's 10% share is really worth it!
Croya hurriedly asked:
"Grandpa Andre, do you know where those cars went?"
"I don't know." Andre said with a smile, "Many treasure hunters are tracking their whereabouts, but until now, I don't know if anyone has found them..."
As soon as these words were said, everyone's expressions changed!
