Chapter Fifty-Seven: The Lady with Two Ponytails
The sun is already starting to get hot at the end of May, especially in the north, and the intensity of the sun is even more unacceptable.
As cars sped across the asphalt road, Xia Ke stood in front of the bus stop, holding a piece of paper above his head with both hands, blocking out the strong light.
The day before yesterday, she accepted a mission from room six, and the main content of the mission was to protect the eldest lady of a certain consortium. Although he was disdainful of the content of the task, Xia Ke gladly accepted it. After all, money matters!
Because it was the second half of the sophomore year, the schoolwork was not as heavy as before, and the further I went, the fewer classes I had. Nowadays, there are only two days a week when there are classes. She asked her teacher for two days off and told Joe He that she was traveling with her cousin.
And in fact, she did go on a tour.
Just yesterday, she received an email from her employer, saying that the eldest lady who was an employer had recently received an invitation letter, and the content of the invitation letter was roughly that several of the eldest lady's friends invited the eldest lady to go to a certain island for summer vacation. Because of the change in plans, she was notified at short notice.
According to the terms of the treaty, Xia Ke can completely refuse this task and get a part of the compensation. But Shak didn't, because the last sentence of your email said that if she was willing to continue the mission, the employer would give her a double bounty.
Double the bounty plus island summer escape, what the is there to refuse!
The cars in front of her were speeding by, and Xia Ke looked at the bus that had just passed in front of her with some irritation. Even 905 has been in the past twice, isn't the employer really playing tricks on her?
Just as Xia Ke was thinking about whether to buy a popsicle to cool down, a silver sports car that looked very stunningly stopped in front of her.
The window of the car was slowly lowered, and a handsome and very ascetic face appeared in front of Xia Ke. The handsome face of abstinence combed with a middle score that is difficult for ordinary people to control, and it is said that the middle score is the hairstyle that tests the most appearance, and Xia Ke now finally understands how right this sentence is!
The handsome ascetic face looked at Xia Ke indifferently, and Xia Ke's whole person suddenly felt not hot, damn, you try to be looked at by someone with a dead eye, you can understand how she feels at this time.
Although he was a little cowardly in his heart, Xia Ke still maintained a decent smile and looked back at the man.
"Number 77?"
Xia Ke nodded, and the anxiety that had just been scorched by the sun had subsided a little.
The man's voice was colder than his eyes, and although his voice was good, it didn't have any warmth.
"Get in the car."
It was another simple two words, and Xia Ke looked a little uncomfortable after getting in the car. There were only her and the man in the car, the man sat in the front and she sat in the back.
Thinking of the sign she saw before, and the envious glances of the passers-by around her when she got into the car, Xia Ke silently took out her mobile phone, and then clicked on Du Niang.
Car ...... with bullfighting sign
The search soon came out, and Lamborghini and Xia Ke were even more uncomfortable.
She knew the car was expensive, but she didn't know it was so expensive! There is no need to continue to search for which one it is, just this brand is enough to show off your wealth. No wonder when she got in the car, those passers-by looked at her with envy and some disdain.
Yes, she is dressed so plainly, but she got into such a luxury car, it is estimated that she is regarded as a sugar daddy again......
The man who was driving glanced at Xia Ke from the rearview mirror and found that she was looking at her phone without any expression on her face. I already have some understanding in my heart, and I am worthy of being a person from the world's top bodyguard company, although she looks very immature and looks very earthy, but from the point that she doesn't ask a word, she is still very cautious inside.
Thinking of this, the man spoke to Xia Ke.
"Hello, I'm the eldest lady's housekeeper, you can call me Xiao Qi."
Xia Ke looked up and looked at the man in the rearview mirror. Xiao Qi ...... looks older than her, only people call her Xiao Xia, she has never called anyone else Xiao Qi like this.
"Hello Steward Qi, my number is 77, for the convenience of the task, you can call me Xiao Xia."
Steward Qi nodded knowingly, with a satisfied smile in his eyes.
"Then, Xiao Xia," Steward Qi stretched out his hand and handed her a file bag, "This is the list of our companions, as well as our route to the island. ”
Xia Ke took the file bag, put it aside, and did not open it.
The information that Steward Qi gave her was really useless, and all the information she needed could be retrieved from the database of the headquarters, as long as her authority allowed it. Moreover, there are only two points of focus for her this time, one is the eldest lady, and the other is the Yuan Demon who wants to kill the eldest lady.
There is information about the eldest lady, Steward Qi didn't give it, and Steward Qi couldn't give the information about the Yuan Demon, so ......
Xia Ke looked at Steward Qi's eyes a little helplessly, although it was not troublesome to collect these information, it was also a busy work in vain.
"Natsu-chan, you look young." Steward Qi smiled very gently, giving Xia Ke the feeling that the two of them were very familiar, but in fact, the two of them had obviously just met.
"You look young too." Xia Ke smiled back.
"No, no, no," Steward Qi waved his hand, the smile on his face deepened, with a bit of ridicule, "Your youth is really young, and I, I just look young." ”
Xia Ke didn't know how to answer, so he could only laugh dryly.
This Steward Qi didn't seem to be what she thought, at first he did look at himself with a kind of scrutinizing gaze, but now he restrained that kind of scrutiny. It was as if she had passed his test without knowing it, but she didn't do anything.
"Maybe I should tell you a little bit about my master."
Xia Ke looked up, "Your master?" "Her employer?
"Yes." Steward Qi nodded, "My master is a successful businessman with a huge amount of money. ”
"I can probably understand." From this expensive Lamborghini, it can be seen that the subject of her mission does have enough money.
"The bounty offered by the master is not high, and that's not because he can't give that much, but because of your company's regulations." Steward Qi suddenly turned around and glanced at Xia Ke, "Actually, I'm curious about what standard your company uses to measure a task." ”
Xia Ke was stunned by him for a moment, what he said was not a question sentence, but a declarative sentence. It seemed that he was just curious, but he didn't mean to force Xia Ke to answer. Xia Ke thought for a moment and said, "How to determine the value of a task, I can't answer this question for you. Because I don't know very well myself, our company has someone to do this. ”
Actually, this question is very simple, but only for the exorcist.
The bounty of the task is determined by the difficulty of the task, and of course, the danger is also a consideration.
And the difficulty and danger of the mission depend on the strength of the Yuan Demon.
"I was offended." Didn't get what he wanted to know, Steward Qi's face had a faint disappointment, but he quickly adjusted his emotions and brought the topic back again, "The master is a successful businessman, but he is not a good father. ”
Xia Ke looked at him in surprise, this gentleman butler didn't look like a person who would speak ill of the master's family.
Steward Qi also noticed Xia Ke's expression, and he smiled wryly, "I don't have any disrespect for the master, I'm just stating a fact. ”
Xia Ke nodded with a smile and motioned for Steward Qi to continue.
"The eldest lady's mother died very early, and the master has been busy with work, so it is inevitable that he will pay less attention to the eldest lady. When the master turned his attention to the eldest lady, he found that the eldest lady had developed a taciturn temperament. ”
"Silent?" Xia Ke was a little curious, a child from a rich family would be a taciturn character, which was really rare.
The information shows that the eldest lady is not very old, thirteen years old, and is in the first year of junior high school.
Studying the first year of junior high school...... Xia Ke recalled her own appearance when she was a freshman in junior high school, and she was no different from a little madman.
"Yes, if you can, I hope your character can affect the eldest lady."
"My character?" Xia Ke leaned forward and looked sideways at Steward Qi. Mr. Butler, are you sure you're not joking, my personality will lead your eldest lady astray!
Steward Qi glanced at Xia Ke expectantly, "You have a good personality." ”
...... "That's because Mr. Butler, you haven't seen me when I'm bad!"
"Of course, if Xiao Xia can change the eldest lady, I believe that the master will double your bounty again."
Bounty, double! Xia Ke's eyes lit up, and he slowly sat back.
"Okay, I'll do my best."
"It's a pleasure to work with." Steward Qi smiled again, the eldest lady had hope.
"Happy working together!" Xia Ke nodded, her head quickly calculating her deposits.
For the bounty, Xia Ke pondered many ways to change the eldest lady's personality in her head, but when she actually met the eldest lady, all the methods were scrapped.
Because she really has never met such a junior high school student, the first time she saw her, the first thing she said was-my life will be handed over to you!
Groove ......
Such a serious and heavy tone, don't be scary, okay?
Woo, Xia Ke looked at the heaviness on the eldest lady's delicate little face, and then looked at the hair that was combed into a double ponytail, smoothed the weather for a while, and finally only held back a sentence: "I will do my best." ”
The eldest lady nodded solemnly, "Then please." ”
"...... "Woo, how to break this stalk?"
