"Hey! What do you mean help or not help, I just called the police."
Chen Li shouted at the two people outside the village entrance.
Five minutes ago, the two of them weren't like this. When they spoke, it was always with a sort of sarcastic tone.
Chen Li had advised them not to mess with the cattle. Now that things had developed this way, he didn't want to drink raw milk.
"It feels like they're... not just messing around?" Ah Qing came out with a bottle of iced coke, feeling that something wasn't quite right over there, but the cows really seemed to just want to offer them milk and had no intention of harming them.
"Don't worry about them, or you'll be blamed." Chen Li waved his hand, signaling Ah Qing to go home, assuring her that nothing would happen under his watch, treating it as a lesson for those two foul-mouthed young ones.
"Opening and closing with 'Old Deng,'"
Old Deng's legs aren't nimble now, and his hearing is bad.
"Well, alright then!"
Ah Qing looked for a few moments, making sure the cows just wanted to pull the two people under their bellies to offer fresh milk, and had no ill intentions. She then led the little fox back towards home.
"Woo!"
The little fox turned and greeted Lin Qi, who was sitting on a chair, before leaving.
Remember to trick everyone here tomorrow!
Otherwise, it would have been a wasted trip for Lord Fox.
Lin Zhe looked at him, shrugged, and didn't say anything.
........
Returning to the front of her house, Ah Qing mimicked the little fox's customary action of peeking through the doorway before going in to survey the room, confirming the situation inside before entering confidently.
The family atmosphere at home is pretty good...
It's just having to sit in a chair and endure constant praise from the whole family, which can be awkward.
That orca...
I really didn't catch it, it just got tempted by the fries. Why don't you believe me!
Ah Qing felt helpless about this.
"Ah Qing, you're back just in time. My classmate's brother's friend just called, asking if you'd like to do a review for fish corrals?"
Seeing Ah Qing return home, Yu Zhenghong, who had been waiting in the living room, immediately lit up, placing Lord Fox reverently on the altar, lighting some expensive incense, and casually asking Ah Qing.
The friend of his classmate's brother is in the sea farming and fish corral fishing business near Qingao Island.
The incident of Ah Qing catching a whale had even made it to Xiadong TV Station's news broadcast, causing a sensation in Jiule City.
This friend, having somehow got Yu Zhenghong's phone number, called him to ask if Ah Qing would be interested in doing a promotional review?
If Ah Qing was willing to promote, they'd offer ten thousand yuan as a fee, plus cover all travel expenses.
No need to do much, just fish on their corral for half a day.
"Review promotion? That's such an unfamiliar term....." Ah Qing was stunned, seemingly unable to wrap her head around her father's words.
The number of followers on her social media skyrocketed after the whale fishing incident, and the powerful cat drop incident at the stray home had propelled her account even more.
In an instant, it surged to 1.35 million, and her stream clips were still trending, with her followers growing by the minute.
Before the buzz fades, it should reach two million followers.
But!
Ah Qing had never encountered anyone wanting to advertise with her or sign her.
Suddenly having someone come up for commercial promotion felt rather odd to Ah Qing.
"I don't really know about these things either, you should decide for yourself? Or maybe ask your classmates who are familiar with online stuff," Yu Zhenghong suggested.
He used to livestream, just bantering with similarly chatty old men online or arguing with others, so terms like commercial promotion were also foreign to him.
Faced with the unknown, Yu Zhenghong wasn't eager to grab the money but suggested that Ah Qing seek advice to avoid being scammed.
"Uh... alright! I'll ask tomorrow, it's too late today, and I still need to help Xiaolan with his bath, brushing, and nail clipping."
Ah Qing mentally noted the matter, nodded, intending to fetch clothes from her room, but recalling something, she hurried back to the altar to scoop up the little fox in her arms and told her dad:
"Oh, Dad! There's one more thing. I need to visit Aunt Lin's house tomorrow. You must, must prepare some good tea leaves for me."
While saying this, Ah Qing had a very earnest expression on her face.
"Aunt Lin? Which aunt with the surname Lin?" Yu Zhenghong looked at Ah Qing puzzled.
Ah Qing's circle of friends wasn't complicated, and Yu Zhenghong also knew her classmates' parents; it didn't seem like any required a special visit for the Mid-Autumn Festival?
"It's Lin Ying next door, Aunt Lin." Ah Qing pointed at Lin Ying's villa with a face of helplessness, saying,
"The entire matter is very complicated to explain, but basically, I must go with a gift tomorrow to thank Aunty Lin for what she did in Chang'an earlier, hmm..."
"Sigh!" Unsure how to explain this and also not wanting to lie, Ah Qing sighed, holding up the little fox in her arms to her dad's face,
"Aunt Lin really likes the little fox, so much so that she gave him a very, very generous gift!"
"The Lin... Lin Clan!" Yu Zhenghong's eyes widened as he looked at Ah Qing, gasping, which startled Chen Peipei, who had been tidying up in the living room.
"You... you're visiting the Lin family? Dear! How did you get involved with those people? Goodness, the Lin family doesn't blink an eye when they kill, mowing down with machine guns."
Yu Zhenghong was full of shock, stammering as he spoke of the terrifying reputation of the Lin family in Jiule City.
Nowadays, they kept a low profile, hiding right in the city, not showing off outside their own expertise, but to the older generation, the existence of the Lin Clan still carried weight.
Even outlaws passing through Jiule City have to buy two bottles of Maozi, two packs of Huazi, and a labor medal, stuffing the Maozi bags to pay respects at the Lin docks,
to avoid being seen as competition.
Before, the little fox had come back with a Lin family watch and jewelry, scaring them enough, and now?
Moreover, is Ah Qing delivering herself?
Isn't this trouble?
Without a full escort of armed police, even security personnel wouldn't dare approach the Lin residence!
"No! Absolutely not! You go there, and by the next day, you might be dealing cards in a casino!"
Without a second thought, Yu Zhenghong directly refused, dealing with such dangerous people was no joke!
"Oh... "
Ah Qing saw her dad's firm stance and even saw him turn, crouch in a corner, covering his ears. With no other options, she could only speak in a low voice:
"Aunt Lin...."
"Bought a private jet for the little fox, and even deposited thirty million in the airline account for its maintenance... "
"If I don't go, I'm afraid Aunt Lin might come over."
Ah Qing's whisper was like the devil's whisper, causing Yu Zhenghong to turn his stiff neck back, looking at Ah Qing, then at the squatting Lord Fox on the ground.
Private jet.....
Plane....
Thirty million.....
Yu Zhenghong was dumbfounded, feeling the world and everything before him spinning wildly.
"It's real... Lord Fox is truly miraculous!"
"Woo..." An Sheng sneezed; the incense aroma tickled his nose a bit.
