But this Su Xiao is obviously much younger than Jack, but it is much more difficult to deal with than Jack.

What's more important is that he doesn't even like painting cakes.

What Dexter doesn't know is that his ability to draw a pie is actually far worse than the company leaders Su Xiao encountered in his previous life.

Moreover, after a person has suffered several losses and been deceived several times, no matter how honest a person is, he will not be willing to suffer losses and be deceived again.

Su Xiao's idea is actually very simple:

Don't mention it for now if it's a big deal or not.

Do you want us to take a trip to Vortex Gang's lair and bring you what you want?

OK.

But the remuneration must be calculated according to the market price.

Dexter thought about it for a while and finally agreed.

Compared with the big deal that followed, this employment fee was nothing to mention.

Moreover, if T-BUG's analysis is correct, then the Su Xiao team should be the most suitable partner for this big deal.

"Then I'll treat it as an investment, okay. As long as you bring the robot, I'll give it the market price."

The consultation ended and both parties were very satisfied.

The car drove around and finally stopped back to its original position.

Before Su Xiao got off the bus, Dexter spoke earnestly.

"Mr. Su, as long as you do a good job, we can establish a friendship based on a lot of euros. Believe me, be friends with me, and I will ensure that you will not suffer."

"Contact me again after you get the robot."

When Su Xiao returns Divination Parlor, both Jack and Lucy are in Divination Parlor.

Seeing Su Xiao come in, Lucy's nervous look relaxed a lot.

"Look, I just said I was going to discuss business. Is everything okay?"

After Jack finished talking to Lucy, he turned to look at Su Xiao: "What, the fat guy must have given me a fat job, right?"

Su Xiao found a stool and sat down, took the water from Misty, and thanked him, "No, he didn't say anything specific."

Then, Su Xiao said again what Dexter said in the car.

"Fuck! Dexter, this big black-skinned Jesus is too cautious. I thought he would tell you the details if he came over to you."

It's not that Su Xiao cannot understand Dexter's caution.

Even though he doesn't like it when others deliberately hold back.

"This is our first time dealing with Dexter. Maybe T-BUG knows him.

But after all, he doesn't know us, and besides, we're not that familiar with T-BUG."

I have had the experience of working with T-BUG several times before.

But what should I say about T-BUG?

To describe it in terms of high emotional intelligence:

Her acting style may not be understood in other places, but it seems reasonable at Night City.

The explanation for low emotional intelligence is simpler, just a few words - she is not gregarious.

She has never had any offline contact with Su Xiao and others, and has always contacted them by phone.

Even if we take action, we are working remotely.

I've never even met in person, so it's hard to call such a relationship a familiar one.

Jack nodded.

Let Su Xiao say so.

Then he can understand.

"That makes sense. Then let's go directly to Vortex Gang and get the robot back to Dexter?"

Su Xiao shook his head.

"Don't worry, Dexter, that old fox said it lightly, but it's not that simple to get the robot back. I've heard of this person Royce, he's very shady."

"For the sake of a small profit in front of him, he would rather kill the goose to lay eggs. If we just go to Vortex Gang like this and don't have to pay again, don't even think about bringing the robot out."

Jack suddenly turned ugly. "Fuck! Then Dexter must have thought of this too, so he deliberately let us go. The hearts of these guys are getting darker and darker each time."

"Then what should we do? If that doesn't work, sneak in secretly and get the robot?"

Su Xiao waved his hand and said, "It's not that easy. Royce is bad, not stupid. He knows the value of that robot and will not just put it in a place with empty defenses."

Jack is scratching his head.

This won't work, and that won't work either.

Then wouldn't this job be ruined?

Lucy, who had been silent just now, suddenly said.

"Have you said before that Dexter also mentioned a company woman who is also eyeing Vortex Gang. Maybe we can use her."

Jack suddenly realized it and tapped his left palm with his right fist. "Yes, there is no need for a few of us to go to Vortex Gang's dragon's den and ask people from the company to explore the way for us."

The three of them chatted for a while.

Not long after, V also arrived at Divination Parlor on Delamain Taxi.

The conversation was almost finished, so the four of them decided to go to the new car that Jack had just picked up, and then contact the woman from the company who had a problem with Vortex Gang.

Jack's new car is parked on the road outside.

However, when a few people approached, they saw a guy who didn't look like a serious person, standing in front of Jack's new car, smoking.

It's like he's deliberately looking for trouble, or he's trying to identify something.

"Who is this bastard?" Jack's expression suddenly changed.

That was a brand new second-hand car he just picked up last night.

Although this car is a second-hand car, the previous owner has not driven it much, so it is no different from a brand new one.

In order to buy this stylish coupe, he spent a lot of hard-earned money.

Now, an unknown idiot was standing in front of his car, smoking continuously.

Still so close.

Can this be tolerated?

"Hey, man, what's wrong with you?!"

After being yelled at by Jack, the man reacted as if he had just woken up from a dream.

He threw down the cigarette butt and walked away quickly as if he felt guilty.

"Evil coins!"

Jack stared at that person until he disappeared into the crowd.

Then he hurriedly walked to where the man was standing just now.

He knelt down and got closer to see if his car had been burned by the man with a cigarette butt.

But Su Xiao seemed to be deep in thought.

Looking at the guy who has merged into the crowd.

"Fortunately, that evil coin was just smoking, otherwise I would have had to make him eat the cigarette butts."

After Jack confirmed his new car, he turned around and discovered something unusual about Su Xiao.

Can't help but feel a little strange.

"Su?"

Su Xiao then looked back. "It's nothing, it's just that guy always feels... forget it, it's okay, maybe I'm overthinking."

He looked at Jack's new car.

"You never said you wanted to buy a coupe?"

"What else? I can't take Misty on the road in an elderly scooter, right? It would be too shameless. I just want to use this car to tell her that I am willing and able to give her a happy life. She is definitely right to follow him."

"Okay, okay, stop being such a jerk, singles will be choked to death by you."

"You are the only one who is single. You think I don't know anything, right? You really think my brother is stupid and thick-headed."

Jack's eyes quickly glanced at V and Lucy beside him, and then quickly looked away.

Because he made his expression very quickly, the latter two did not notice his small movements.

"In short," Jack stretched out his hands toward the car, showing off the exaggerated movements of a host on an American variety show, as if he was waiting for praise, "Come on and praise me mercilessly."

"It's pretty good, but it cost you a lot of money, right?"

"No, you are wrong."

"Oh?"

Jack cleared his throat, an unpredictable expression appeared on his face.

"Although it seems to cost a lot, in fact the money does not really disappear, it just changes its way to accompany you.

By your side."

Su Xiao was shocked.

"Damn it! Where did you learn this?"

"A friend of mine told me this. He said he learned this from a very wise old man in the mysterious East."

"You learned well, don't learn it next time."

Chapter 123: Come to cheat, come to sneak attack my little comrade (4K)

Sports cars usually have two seats.

But the coupe bought by Jack has two rows at the front and rear.

It can seat up to five people... well, if you squeeze a little bit, six or seven can squeeze in.

The driver is naturally Jack.

Su Xiao is in the passenger seat.

Lucy and V are sitting in the back.

The coupe started, slowly drove out of the street, and merged into the traffic on the road outside.

Go in the direction of Northside Industrial District.

Su Xiao used the number left by Dexter to call Militech's senior operations manager named Meredith Stout.

The call was quickly connected, and a picture of a woman popped up on Tactical Goggles.

"I'm Stout."

The words are concise and to the point, without a word of nonsense.

It is worthy of the behavior of a senior executive in the company.

The other party didn't talk nonsense, and Su Xiao certainly didn't waste time talking. He also got straight to the point. "I heard you were looking for something, maybe we can talk."

"Gag his mouth! Put it in the trunk!"

Meredith is not angry at Su Xiao.

Instead, she was yelling at the people around her.

It seemed as if she was in a remote place with few people around, rather than in a company building where people were coming and going.

"Where is what I want?"

"Not here."
