Chapter 135

Belle smiled foolishly, scratched her cheek, and said excitedly: "Hehe~ Qingfeng, as long as you like it~! If you like it, I'll brew it for you from now on!"

That smile was like a flower blooming in the warm spring sun, pure and brilliant.

"That... little sister..." Wise looked at the empty tabletop in front of him, slowly turned his head to look at Belle, and asked with a bit of helplessness and confusion, stopping halfway: "Look... did you brew one cup too few?"

"No!" Belle blinked her bright, watery eyes innocently, like a naive little deer, and responded in a light tone: "I don't need to drink, one cup is enough!"

Wise was instantly speechless, secretly complaining in his heart: Is there a possibility... the one missing is his cup......

However, this wasn't the time to dwell on this problem; Wise was full of curiosity about the purpose of Ye Qingfeng's sudden visit.

His thoughts instantly drifted to the deal he had made with Nico earlier, which had used that commission fee for free, plus future commission fees at a discount, just to exchange for the opportunity for Ye Qingfeng to come and work.

Of course, this work wasn't just about the video store's chores.

Selling video tapes was just the surface of their work as Proxies; in reality, the video store wasn't short of manpower. What he was truly looking forward to was Ye Qingfeng being able to become their agent.

Ever since Phaethon's main account was accidentally lost last time, the current new Inter-Knot account urgently needed a large number of commissions to level up, and satisfying Belle's little wish was just a side benefit.

Although doing this was a bit unkind, after all, it was poaching Nico's wall, and Ye Qingfeng seemed to be completely unaware of this matter.

As for why he chose Ye Qingfeng, let alone anything else, he was the most suitable candidate Wise could think of at the moment, and getting along with him was exceptionally relaxed and comfortable.

During this time, Wise had accepted a bunch of commissions on the Inter-Knot, all of which were relatively simple, such as finding things, taking someone out of the Hollow, and so on.

To put it bluntly, Wise valued Ye Qingfeng's future.

From the first time he saw him to now sitting in front of him, Ye Qingfeng's temperament had undergone earth-shaking changes.

Wise couldn't explain the reason for this clearly; just looking at his sitting posture, Ye Qingfeng exuded a quite confident vibe, his back straight and his expression composed.

Wise tried to make his tone sound tactful, asking sideways: "Haha... Qingfeng, you didn't send a message or anything when you came over, making us unprepared, sorry for the poor hospitality!"

Ye Qingfeng raised an eyebrow slightly, immediately hearing the subtext in Wise's words, and didn't intend to beat around the bush, saying directly: "It's mainly because Nico made a deal with you, although it wasn't with my consent at all."

"Ah this... sorry! It was our lack of consideration......" Wise felt a tightness in his heart upon hearing this, thinking Ye Qingfeng had refused, fearing that things would turn sour, his tone full of apology.

"No! I think you misunderstood my meaning, Wise." Ye Qingfeng changed the subject, his tone carrying a hint of kindness, and a faint smile on his face, making one feel like a spring breeze. "I came here today to start the job, and I guess you should have accumulated quite a few commissions by now, right?"

"That's right." Wise's eyes lit up, a flash of surprise in his eyes, and he nodded slightly in a hurry. He was worthy of being the person he had his eye on; he could guess the real purpose so quickly.

Belle stood to the side, blinking her eyes blankly, like a child who had lost her way.

She could understand every word her brother and Qingfeng said, but when combined, why did it feel like a mismatch, her head inexplicably dizzy, as if shrouded in a fog.

Ye Qingfeng saw Wise's reaction, and his inner guess was confirmed.

Given the scale of this video store, to be honest, one person was more than enough to manage it, so why would Wise still make this seemingly loss-making deal with Nico?

The answer was self-evident; it was aimed at him as a person.

No matter who came up with this idea first, the one who negotiated the price with Nico in the end was definitely Wise, only in this way could he ensure he could come over.

And no matter whether Ye Qingfeng could see it or not, it wasn't a bad thing for him.

"Then since that's the case, what are my future tasks? Boss?" Ye Qingfeng thought for a few seconds, decisively agreed to Wise's request, leaned back on the chair slowly, his expression leisurely, and asked casually.

He made this choice with a hundred benefits and no harm; after all, Wise and Belle were both his strategy targets, and besides, this way, the probability of him encountering strategy targets also increased by double.

And he wasn't leaving the Cunning Hare House, how did that saying go...... right! Find a side job!

"No need to call me Boss, it sounds weird, just call me by my name directly.

As for your tasks, Qingfeng, they are also very simple." Wise had already found Ye Qingfeng quite pleasing to the eye, and now that he agreed to join, he felt even more that the other party was half one of his own.

As for why it was half, it depended on when his sister could take Qingfeng down, so he would become his brother-in-law!

Wise raised his head slightly and gave Belle a cheering look, that look full of encouragement and expectation.

"Brother, did dust get into your eyes? Can you solve it yourself? You're already such a big person!"

Wise:......

The smile on Wise's face suddenly stiffened; he slowly turned his head to look at Ye Qingfeng again, ignored Belle's statement, and continued: "When there are no commissions, Qingfeng, you can be a clerk at the video store, work one day and rest two, just right for the three of us to take turns, do you see any problem?"

Ye Qingfeng shook his head, his tone light: "No!"

Work one day and rest two? Is there really such a good job in the world? Not to mention anything else! Let there be more of this kind of work in the future!

Seeing Ye Qingfeng agree, Wise continued: "But it doesn't need to be that rigid, if you have something to do, Qingfeng, you can just say you won't come, after all, my sister and I live here, and the video store has Eous as a receptionist, overall, actually, if you have time to come over, just consider it coming to play with us."

"Got it." Ye Qingfeng suppressed the corners of his mouth that were about to rise, tried hard to appear calm, and responded.

This isn't work at all! But he couldn't be too happy too early; what followed should be the key, otherwise, such good benefits earlier definitely wouldn't come for nothing!

"Qingfeng should know that our real identity is Proxies, so we often accept commissions on the Inter-Knot, but my sister and I don't have any combat power, so......"

"Understood, Wise, continue." Ye Qingfeng looked focused and responded seriously.

"So if there are commissions, you will need to take Eous to the commission location, and we will contact you through Eous for the rest."

"Understood!" Ye Qingfeng nodded.
