"That's not what a person who has his feet on three boats would say!" Boss Cai interrupted Masha. "The words 'pure heart and few desires' have absolutely nothing to do with you. I don't know why the office would so easily believe that you no longer want to use your super powers. In my opinion, you are the kind of person who would embrace super powers."
"So, using my superpowers will cause my ego to become thinner."
Boss Cai stared at Masha for several seconds and then shook his head.
"It seems that you are not going to tell me what you are planning. But I still want you to know that compared to the safe, low-risk road at the office, I am willing to choose high risk and high return. Besides, my daughter is in your hands, and I can't help you and help the office."
"I appreciate your kindness." Masha smiled, acting like a real hermit.
Boss Cai looked at Masha very patiently. He even opened a bag of melon seeds. It seemed that he was ready to eat the seeds while maintaining a stalemate with Masha.
Masha was not ambiguous and directly reached out to ask for the melon seeds: "Come on, give me some too."
Then the two of them just ate melon seeds and stared at each other in a stalemate for more than ten minutes.
Finally, Boss Cai said, "Well, I believe you really don't want to do anything. What a pity, I thought there was a lot of potential between us. Now it seems that you can only continue to cling to the office."
Masha nodded: "That's how it should be."
Boss Cai's trick is the same as pretending to leave when the price is reduced in the vegetable market to force the boss to reduce the price. Masha will certainly not fall for it.
Boss Cai stared at Masha for a few seconds and sighed, "Okay, you win. Just tell me what you want. I won't ask you what you're going to do with it, and I'll keep it a secret for you from the office."
"As a businessman, how could you keep it secret from the office?" Masha shook his head in disbelief.
"If it's on a smaller scale, it's no problem. Merchants also have some secrets that can be used."
Masha observed Boss Cai's expression and felt that the time was right and he could make his request without making any noise.
"Boss Cai, I want to grow some flowers and plants recently. Can you give me some things to grow hair algae?"
When Boss Cai first heard Masha's request, he was delighted, but after hearing it, he was confused.
"What did you say? Fa Cai?"
Chapter 144: About the Fat Vegetables (th update)
Masha nodded: "Yes, hair algae. As a Yuezhou native, I like to eat hair algae very much. For me, wild hair algae represents the taste of my childhood!"
Boss Cai frowned and said, "You weren't born when the picking of wild hair moss was prohibited, right?"
Masha ignored Boss Cai's complaints and continued, "So, I have always wanted to study how to cultivate hair algae in a way that is closest to the wild! Since Boss Cai said so, I will dare to make this request. I want a hair algae plantation, it doesn't have to be too big, dozens or hundreds of acres will be enough!"
Boss Cai looked at Masha like he was a madman: "Are you serious?"
Masha said with a straight face: "I'm serious."
This is actually the "test" that Masha prepared for Boss Cai - of course it is not just a test. Nostoc is a terrestrial algae, a type of blue-green algae, with a very good oxygen production capacity. Transplanting Nostoc into Masha's little car world can effectively get rid of the dependence on bottled oxygen.
Boss Cai didn't know all this. In his opinion, having a hair algae farm must be a very difficult request to understand. As long as he thought that Marsa was playing a trick on him, there was no need for the cooperation to go on.
And if Boss Cai provides the farm to Masha without hesitation, the cooperation with him can continue.
Masha awaits the result.
Boss Cai made up his mind: "Okay, I will immediately buy a hair algae plantation and give it to you for full use."
"Thank you very much." Masha was very happy that he could use the financial resources of Boss Cai to greatly speed up the construction of the car world. With the hair algae plantation, he could go to the plantation for a "vacation" in the name of managing the plantation, and find a corner in the factory where no one could see to summon the car. That would be very convenient, wouldn't it?
Moreover, since it is a farm, there will probably be trucks for logistics and purchasing, right?
It would be only natural to prepare some solar cells to supply the farm's electrical equipment, right?
Of course, Masha could have asked for more at once, but in order not to attract too much attention from the office, he decided to make this request now and try to get the other things himself. If he still couldn't get them after a while, he would come to Boss Cai for help.
Boss Cai had been observing Masha's expression. He suddenly said, "It seems that this hair algae farm is not a joke to me, right?"
"Of course not. I have always told you seriously that I am serious about this request." Masha responded with a smile.
Boss Cai shook his head. "It was only just now that I was sure that you really wanted a hair algae farm. And I still don't know the meaning of your wanting this. Can you cope with future changes by using hair algae?"
"No." Masha gave a very irritating answer - but it was also true.
Boss Cai stared at Masha and said with a smile, "Sir, the Yellow King, I actually thought at first that no matter how smart you are, you are only at the level of an 18-year-old child. I never expected that I would find an 18-year-old child hard to figure out. Could it be that when you, the superpowers, awaken, you not only gain superpowers, but also improve your intelligence and other abilities?"
Ma Sha thought about the deceased Ma Dongming and Cai Shi's account of Ma Dongming's words and deeds before his death. He shook his head and said, "No, I think at least his intelligence and emotional intelligence have not been enhanced."
Masha actually wanted to comfort his father-in-law, saying that you can't judge me purely because you are missing key information, and it's not your fault. But he just thought about it.
Boss Cai changed the subject and asked Masha, "Is there anything else you need?"
"Not for now." Masha shook his head.
Boss Cai asked again: "Do you need me to lend you my driver and car?"
"No, I think taking the subway is fine."
Seeing that Masha was really not going to make any more requests, Boss Cai stood up from the table, yawned, and said to Masha, "It seems that the business is over. I will immediately investigate where there is a noophylline farm for sale. Once I find one, I will buy it and let you manage it."
"Then I'm looking forward to it."
Boss Cai extended his hand to Masha across the desk.
Masha shook Boss Cai's hand without hesitation and congratulated each other like an adult on reaching an agreement in the negotiations.
Then Boss Cai came out from behind the desk, made a "follow me" gesture to Masha, and walked straight to the retro-style door.
He opened the door first, and then a rapid buzzing sound came from the room.
Boss Cai turned around and looked at Masha and smiled, "Well, I told you, if the Faraday cage fails, the alarm will go off immediately."
Masha nodded, indicating that he already knew the greatness of this room.
Boss Cai left the study room contentedly, followed closely by Masha - Masha turned back for a moment to look for his childhood sweetheart (wife), then remembered that Cai Shi had taken Chihiro "out to play".
So Masha asked Boss Cai, "You just asked Cai Shi to take Qianxun - Miss Lin out to play. What were they going to do?"
Boss Cai shrugged, then shouted to the second floor of the artificially renovated duplex building: "We've finished our business, you two should get ready to come down for dinner!"
Masha immediately heard Chihiro's drawn-out voice: "Okay! It's almost done."
I don’t know why this was at Cai Shi’s house, but the one who answered Cai Shi’s father was Lin Qianxun.
After getting Qianxun's response, Boss Cai turned to the direction that might be the kitchen and asked, "Is today's food ready?"
"Yes, the food can be served at any time." Masha opened his mouth in surprise when he heard the response coming from that direction - but, for a rich man who can afford such a mansion, is it strange to have a man at home who is responsible for cooking and doing housework?
——No, this statement is too ambiguous. I should say, is it strange to have a butler in a mansion like this?
——It would be strange if there was no butler, right?
Masha freely used his own associations.
Boss Cai turned around and said to Masha, "My chef is an excellent cook. He used to be the head chef of a hotel. You will definitely enjoy a feast today."
Masha swallowed.
He is from Yuezhou, and there is no one from Yuezhou in the world who doesn't like delicious food, just like there is no one from Northeast China in the world who won't respond to the question "What are you worried about?"
He even forgot to complain about himself and took the other person's cook's response as the butler's response.
Boss Cai led Masha into the restaurant. As soon as Masha sat down, she smelled the fragrant aroma coming from the kitchen.
Everything that needed to be discussed had been discussed, and the cooperative relationship had been established. Masha recalled what he had gained from this visit to Cai Shi's house and the meeting with Boss Cai, and decided to reward himself and enjoy the food.
----
I can't hold on any longer. I feel like I'm going to fall asleep on the keyboard again if I don't sleep.
I only finished nine chapters, sorry.
Chapter 145 Daily life begins to fall apart bit by bit (Update )
As soon as Cai Shi and Qianxun sat down, Cai Shi spoke up: "Dad, I want to stop going to school."
Masha and Chihiro looked at him together.
——Are you serious?
Masha was shocked.
The girl had said before that she wanted to drop out of school and be with Masha, and Masha thought she was just joking, but she actually told her father about it. Masha hurriedly looked at Boss Cai, thinking that the father would definitely scold his daughter to wake her up.
Unexpectedly, Boss Cai pondered for a few seconds and nodded: "Well, in the current situation, it doesn't mean that studying is useless... Science is probably still promising, and liberal arts will probably be useless for a long time."
Masha looked at Boss Cai in surprise.
"Then suspend your studies." Boss Cai made the decision straightforwardly. "Student Ma lives in Building XXX in XXXX Community, right? I have already bought a second-hand apartment in the same building, which should be downstairs from Student Ma. If you suspend your studies, you can move there."
Masha felt that she should say something: "Wait a minute, is it okay to make such a simple decision like this? This means dropping out of school! I can understand buying a house downstairs from my house, and it's also good to let Cai Shi live here. I can also help her with her homework at night, but directly suspending her studies..."
"Why not?" Boss Cai asked back. He snapped his fingers and gestured to the cook who was about to serve the dishes to wait a moment. Then the cook left obediently and closed the door from the kitchen to the restaurant. "My daughter doesn't need to study to get a promotion. I let her study hard to cultivate her temperament. She will marry someone of equal status in the future. If she doesn't have a diploma, she will be flawed in the eyes of others, and her choice of son-in-law will be limited. The same goes for the violin. In order to lead the perfect life I have planned for her, she needs these things.
"But now, the situation has changed. From the perspective of her future, the best option is to send her to two SSS-level students, right? Do you dislike her because she dropped out of school?"
Masha glanced at Cai Shi and shook his head.
"See. What's the problem? She will be safer with you. The reason I stepped into this world was because I happened to witness her being attacked. If she is with you, then she won't have to fight alone."
Masha suddenly realized that what Boss Cai said made a lot of sense.
——No, this is a rhetoric! If you think about it carefully, there are many points that can be refuted, such as the fact that liberal arts is useless, and psychology is obviously very popular. But the overall sound of this speech is very irrefutable, this style is a bit familiar...
——By the way, isn’t this the style I use when writing argumentative essays?
Masha glanced at Cai Shi, who already had the expression of a young wife who was looking forward to her married life.
——Wow, there are stars shining in her eyes when she looks at me!
Chihiro: "Isn't this great? If you live downstairs, you can come up to Masha's house every night to play games with us. If we find someone else, we can play Mario Party every day."
At this time, Masha didn't feel as relaxed as Chihiro.
Although he has experienced many unusual events now, including shooting, killing people and setting fires, he has basically done everything a bad guy should do.
But he still had a feeling that his daily life would go on, and that he would go to college and graduate properly... Cai Shi should also go through the hell of senior year in high school, the college entrance examination, and then go to college to reunite with Masha.
However, now that Cai Shi is going to drop out of school, Masha suddenly has a sense of reality that "Oh, it turns out that this kind of daily life may not last too long."
After all, spiritual energy has revived, and it’s hard to say when the large-scale recovery will begin. The familiar daily life may cease to exist at any time.
——Then I can only accept it.
He asked Boss Cai: "So, when will Cai Shi move in?"
"I can go with you tonight. I've already bought the house, and I still have some basic furniture in it. It seems that I cleaned it carefully before selling it, so it won't be a problem for us to move in right now."
Cai Shi smiled brightly when she heard this.
Chihiro said to Masa, "Congratulations, you can have girls on both sides tonight."
"Don't make a fuss. My mom will go crazy if you do that." Masha smiled bitterly. "I don't want to go through another 'trial' again."
"I will find a way to make Auntie like me." Cai Shi said enthusiastically.
Boss Cai nodded and said, "Let's give him a set of LV first. We'll talk about it later if it's not enough. As for Mr. Ma's gift, I have a Porsche that I rarely drive. Should that be enough?"
Masha didn't know what to say for a moment. She said her parents wouldn't give in to the silver bullet offensive - no, it felt like they would give in. Dad was very principled in many things, such as not breaking the law or violating public order and good morals. But the "dowry" thing didn't break the law, nor did it violate public order and good morals...
Moreover, Porsche! Masha knew that his father was a car fan, and Masha's love for Lamborghini was influenced by his father.
Qianxun said with an attitude that it was none of her business: "That's great, Masha, you suddenly become a prince consort."
Masha retorted: "Aren't you afraid that your position will be taken away?"
"As long as I am still SSS, my position will be unshakable." Chihiro made a face at Masa.
Cai Shi had an expression that said "I may look envious but actually I am really envious", but talent is something that cannot be determined by an individual, it is given by God and there is nothing she can do about it.
Boss Cai looked at Masha and said, "Do you think these gifts are enough? Are they too expensive and would make your parents embarrassed to accept them? Should I go and visit them in person?"
"No, Boss Cai, if you make such a big move, others will be surprised. I am already a celebrity in the community. If you continue to do this, many rumors will spread."
"No one would think that you received this treatment because of the revival of spiritual energy. They would speculate and the truth would be hidden. I also have a professional public relations company and a public opinion manipulation company under me. I am very familiar with this method of muddying the waters and hiding the truth. I believe the office is also familiar with it. Besides, aren't you the top scorer in the college entrance examination? No matter how many suspicions there are now, after the results are announced, everyone will think, 'Oh, so that's how it is.' There is no problem."
Once again, Masha felt that what Boss Cai said made sense.
——Forget it, since Boss Cai is so capable and considerate, I will just enjoy the benefits. This is not what I want to focus on now.
——Let Cai Shi live here and increase the time we spend together. Maybe it will improve our tacit understanding. After getting 10 points of tacit understanding, I can get another prop from Cai Shi.
——Now it seems that in addition to increasing the number of girls, obtaining props is also a very important way to enhance strength.
——This is what I want to focus on now.
