Zhou Qingang shrank his neck, indicating that he knew he was wrong.
The human-faced being's expression softened slightly at his response. "This matter is of great importance, and even I am not aware of all the intricacies involved."
"But what I can be sure of is that our gains this time have been quite substantial."
His voice inevitably revealed a trace of excitement. "Even the attitude of the superiors towards us has improved considerably in recent times."
"The funding has been incredibly generous, more than doubling the original amount."
"And my share?" Zhou Qingang hastened to ask.
"Why the rush? Have I ever short-changed you?" The human-faced being chastised.
"When the time of the transaction comes, you will receive the materials needed by Li Fan, along with your own allotment."
"Thank you, boss!" Zhou Qingang gratefully said. "Although I'm doing quite well now and often receive all kinds of gifts from cultivators, you can never have too much money."
