Chapter 187 Accepting the mission
After racking his brains and not finding anything he did wrong, Yuan Qizi was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he realized that he had not answered the question just now, so he quickly spoke up to make amends: "Okay."
Then, he withdrew his hand that was reaching for the backpack and quickly caught up with Lin Chuyi.
Lin Chuyi walked to a place thirty meters away from the carriage and stopped. This location was just right, not too far from the camping site, and others would not be able to hear their conversation.
Yuan Qizhi soon followed. Lin Chuyi had no intention of being polite with him and went straight to the point: "Yuan Qizhi, do you want to stand out and become a superior person?"
Yuan Qizi didn't expect Lin Chuyi to ask this. He thought Lin Chuyi was testing his loyalty, so he wanted to speak out to express his feelings.
"Girl, I..."
Unexpectedly, he was interrupted by Lin Chuyi after he had said only three words, "You don't have to show your loyalty to me, just answer my questions and tell me whether you want to or not."
At this point, Lin Chuyi added: "I just want to hear the truth."
Yuan Qizi swallowed his saliva, hesitated for a moment, looked up at Lin Chuyi, and said firmly: "I want to."
"Very good, then I'll give you this chance." Lin Chuyi got the answer he wanted and curled the corners of his lips in satisfaction.
Lin Chuyi suddenly handed over a few pieces of paper. Although Yuan Qizi didn't understand why, he subconsciously reached out to take them.
With the faint moonlight, he quickly saw the contents on the paper and his eyes widened in horror.
"This……"
Yuan Qizi couldn't believe that what he saw was real. He blinked hard, and seeing that the content on the paper had not changed, he began to look through the contents of the next few papers.
Although he had not been able to read for long, he still knew the denominations of the silver notes.
What the girl handed him was not a piece of paper but five silver notes worth one hundred taels. Yuan Qizi was a little at a loss as to what the girl meant.
"I'll give you one last chance to choose. Do you want to use these five hundred taels to complete the task I assigned to you and become the boss directly? Or do you want to complete the learning tasks step by step like them, and then climb up step by step from a small clerk. It's your choice."
Yuan Qizi looked in the direction Lin Chuyi pointed, and saw several students chatting and laughing as they walked towards the carriage.
He sighed inwardly. Did he have any choice? If the girl wanted him to choose the second option, there was no need to talk to him alone.
Perhaps he could choose to refuse. Given the girl's personality, she probably wouldn't deliberately embarrass him. However, if something similar happened again in the future, I'm afraid the girl would never consider him again.
But if he agreed, what if he couldn't complete the task the girl asked him to do? By then, the girl would still be disappointed in him...
"I choose five hundred taels." Yuan Qizi clenched the banknote in his hand while speaking.
"Have you thought about it?"
"Yes!" This time Yuan Qizi answered decisively, without any hesitation.
Risks and benefits coexist. If he wants to stand out, this is the best opportunity. If he chooses to give up without even trying, he will definitely regret it in the future. Instead of leaving regrets in the future, it is better to seize the opportunity and give it a good try.
Besides, the girl thought of giving the task to him instead of to anyone else, which must mean she believed that he could complete the task.
And his current overall personal performance is also one of the best among this group of students, which further proves that he is not bad. So why should he belittle himself?
If you want to succeed, you have to have a spirit of adventure. He is still young and can afford to lose. The worst that can happen is that he can just start over again.
"Okay, this five hundred taels is my starting capital for you. Keep it first. After we arrive in Lanzhou City, I will find a suitable opportunity to let you leave the team. Your mission is to use this five hundred taels of silver to win over the beggars in Lanzhou City, become the only boss of the beggar group, and use their characteristics to weave an intelligence network."
Yuan Qizi was a little dumbfounded, "Girl, you said you want me to be the boss, so you want me to be the leader of the beggars?"
Lin Chuyi raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why? Do you despise the position of beggar leader, or do you think this will be easy to accomplish?"
Yuan Qizi waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, I didn't mean that. I just felt a little surprised."
Lin Chuyi smiled and said, "This is just the beginning. You can't become a fat man in one breath. If you accomplish this, there will naturally be more important tasks for you to do, and your status and treatment will also improve."
"But if you can't even handle this, how can I dare to entrust you with other things? Besides, don't think that those people will listen to you just because you have money. You have also been among beggars, so you should understand their mentality and how they will act. You know it in your heart without me saying more."
"When you get to Lanzhou, you can decide for yourself how to proceed. I will give you three months to complete the task. During this period, I will not contact you actively, but I hope to see satisfactory results when I see you next time."
Yuan Qizhi suddenly felt the silver bills in his hand become a little hot. Suddenly, he seemed to think of something. After hesitating, he looked at Lin Chuyi and asked, "Five hundred taels of silver is not a small amount. Miss, you just give it to me directly. Aren't you afraid that I will run away with this money?"
Lin Chuyi couldn't help but sneered when he heard that, "Afraid? Ha, not to mention that your indenture contract is still with me, even if I don't have it, as long as I want to find you, you can't run away."
"But to be honest, I haven't considered this issue since the moment I decided to give the task to you. It's not because you can't escape, but because I think you are a smart person."
"Five hundred taels of silver sounds like a large amount, but as long as you continue to work with us, it is not difficult to earn five hundred taels. The only difference is the length of time. I don't think you will ruin your bright future for just five hundred taels."
Yuan Qizi was silent. When he asked this question, he thought the girl would say something nice like she believed in his loyalty, but he didn't expect the girl to lay out the facts in front of him so bluntly.
He really had no intention of taking the money and running away, but after hearing the girl's unexpected answer, he swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his throat.
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that the girl has always been like this and doesn't like to be polite with them. In this case, there is no need for him to do those pretentious things in front of the girl.
"Miss, you are absolutely right. I believe my greatest strength is knowing how to handle current affairs. Miss, you trust me and give me this task. I will do my best for myself. I won't say anything about guarantees. It is better to do well than to say well. Miss, just check the results."
