Chapter 69: Friend! Friend? Friend!

What does the face of a capitalist look like?

Just a few words from Cheng Daqi were enough to send Cao Yuanyuan's heart racing.

"You sure know how to exploit!"

"But what can we do?"

"This company clearly has great potential, with a registered capital of one million and sharing headquarters with Ludaodongxin."

"And from Cheng Daqi's request for her help in recruiting agents, it's clear this promising company is just starting out."

Thinking about this, Cao Yuanyuan felt she could start working right away.

Working for anyone is still just working, right?

Being an early employee at a promising company is definitely more promising than being a call center agent.

Pitiful workers, they're so good at brainwashing themselves.

The company's success is the boss making money, what's it got to do with you?

It's just that Cheng Daqi can catch Sun Dongxin's eye, being a boss who values principles and won't mistreat old employees.

As long as Cao Yuanyuan works as hard as she did in her past life, Cheng Daqi won't mistreat her.

...

Although she hadn't been in the United States for long, Cheng Daqi had already made some superficial friends.

Like Eris, who had called Cheng Daqi last night.

But the cold medicine had knocked Cheng Daqi out, and she missed Eris's call.

Eris was obviously impatient, not one to dilly-dally. He had already sent her many messages.

"Damn, are you dead? Why isn't your phone connecting?"

"I've contacted people at the Immigration Bureau of Santalo, they can help you get legal status directly, and it's the kind of flawless legal status."

"It's just that the price is relatively high, starting at thirty thousand dollars, up to five hundred thousand. What do you think?"

"My suggestion is, while legal status is important, we don't need something so expensive. A thirty-thousand-dollar status should be enough for you."

"For the sake of our common cause, I can share half of the expenses for buying the status with you."

"Of course, if you're willing to pay for the most expensive one, you can, but I can't help you with two hundred and fifty thousand, understand?"

"These things are complicated, come find me tomorrow afternoon, same place as last time."

"If you're still alive, hurry up and reply to my messages."

How greedy is Eris?

Starting at ten thousand and turning it into thirty thousand. He 'generously' offers to split the cost, but even after splitting, he still pockets five thousand from Cheng Daqi!

This is the true skill of a seasoned veteran; selling you out and making you grateful for helping him count the money!

Cheng Daqi didn't know Komo, nor did she know the specifics of Eris's negotiations with Komo.

But she didn't believe Eris's quoted prices for a second; she wasn't some ignorant youngster.

Sure, she hadn't mixed with people in America before, but the Mississippi River still flows on the ground.

Many things in the world are not so different.

The immigration market in America couldn't be this outrageous!

Thirty thousand dollars, you could buy a new BMW with that!

Why should getting an identity cost thirty thousand to start?

Five hundred thousand is even more absurd!

With that much money, and a little know-how, you could immigrate legally to America, why bribe the immigration bureau?

Seeing through but not exposing, still able to play along.

Cheng Daqi knew Eris wasn't quoting the real prices, but her reply was indeed.

"So I'll come over at two this afternoon, are you available?"

Still have to meet and talk.

The advent of mobile phones has made communication easier, but it's never quite the same as face-to-face communication.

There's a fundamental psychological mechanism in humans; the more face-to-face encounters, the more positive feelings towards the person you're meeting, more or less.

Talking about cooperation through a screen, no matter how much you talk, isn't as effective as meeting a few times.

Meeting not only allows for discussing cooperation but also enhances the relationship.

Why not do it?

The inflated prices aren't a problem.

You set the starting price, I'll negotiate bit by bit.

Cooperation doesn't just happen overnight; we're all sly old foxes, we'll take it slow together.

Can't be like Lisa, that big silly, she's asked for a thousand and she'll get it.

The West Coast Dream Chaser responded quickly; he got up early every day, liking to dive into work early.

"No problem."

Looking at Cheng Daqi's message, Eris smiled and stroked his beard.

"No matter what identity you choose, you can't afford it!"

By then, I'll generously lend you some money, with a low interest rate, after all, we're friends.

"Hahaha!"

"BOSS, anything amusing?"

His subordinate, who loved playing LOL, poked his head out of the room, curiously looking at Eris's triumphant laughter.

"I was happy, but now I'm not."

"I got up at six in the morning to work, what about you?"

"You get up at six to play games!"

"Is LOL that fun?"

"Can't you just work properly?"

Eris really liked this subordinate of his; tall, well-built, strong, simply fantastic.

But he couldn't understand what was going through his subordinate's head, getting up at six to play games and not doing anything productive!

"BOSS, I'm your lackey, aren't I? You haven't assigned me any work, so what's wrong with me playing games?"

Seeing his subordinate's big-headed brain, Eris felt insulting himself by saying another word.

With a brain that big, practically non-existent.

Can't you see how bad your brain is?

I give you work to do, I'm afraid you'll mess it up!

"Forget it, go play your top lane, at least when something comes up, you're by my side and can help me take a few bullets."

Who doesn't have troubles?

Cheng Daqi worried about the difficult road ahead.

Little Cao worried her new boss was too exploitative.

Eris worried his subordinates weren't perfect enough.

Lisa worried her best friend climbed into her bed at night.

"B***H, how did you get into my bed?"

Last night she went to Temir's mansion villa with Thalia, the two sisters watched 'Looking for Dad' until midnight, then they stumbled into a room to sleep.

But when she woke up, Thalia was actually in her bed.

A true best friend, and their relationship was indeed good.

But Lisa still felt dirty; after all, she wasn't lace-edged.

"Honey, last night was so dark, I was so scared alone."

Stretching out from under the covers, the black-haired rich woman lazily yawned, her tone affected.

Just had the ultimate cosmetic surgery, Thalia had spent a million to turn her face into the perfect ultimate form.

The morning light filtered through the white sheer curtains, casting a glow on her slender figure beneath the silk nightgown, spots of light scattered across her perfect face, as if the goddess of love had descended to earth.

Lisa was momentarily stunned.

"Why aren't you saying anything? Goose~ goose~ goose~ goose!

Yesterday you called me an ugly duckling after surgery, why are you stunned today?

Are you feeling inferior, darling?"

Thalia's teasing brought Lisa back to her senses, the blonde beauty's annoyed voice picking up a pillow and hitting her.

The black-haired rich woman was a woman who had trained in boxing; how could she easily back down?

She lunged at the blonde beauty, growling fiercely.

"Little girl, I'm going to show you what I'm made of."

The two pajama-clad beauties tangled in the morning sun, their fight hard to resolve, their spring revealing.

Unfortunately, Cheng Daqi had declined Thalia's invitation last night.

Otherwise, there would have been a chance to feast her eyes.
