Ji Yanzhi and Ji Ting went out to buy some gum by the entrance. By the time they returned, Sun Ye had already secured his "invitation" to the Mulan Cloud Residence.
"Xiao Ting, Sun Ye is really curious about that chip you made for my dog. He says he wants to come take a look sometime."
Ji Ting blinked in confusion and looked at Team Leader Sun. "Does your dog eat cat poop too?"
Sun Ye chuckled, but Ji Yanzhi frowned. "You even got Ji Ting to make you a chip?"
Shen Mu Lan lifted his chin. "What? Is that not allowed?"
Ji Yanzhi gave a cold laugh. "Pay up."
"...Pay what?"
"For the chip." Ji Yanzhi folded his arms and sneered. "With Ji Ting's level of expertise, twenty million is the lowest price you're getting."
"Twenty million?!" Shen Mu Lan's eyes widened. "Ji Yanzhi, why don't you just rob me!"
"You object?" Ji Yanzhi smoothly turned to the man beside them. "Team Leader Sun, you know what Ji Ting is capable of. Am I asking too much?"
"I..." Ji Ting was about to speak up for Shen Mu Lan and explain that he had volunteered to help, but just as he opened his mouth, someone gently squeezed his fingers.
He looked at Ji Yanzhi in confusion, only for the other man to shake his head with a faint, knowing smile.
Rather than directly appraising its value, Sun Ye answered, "Director Ji, I happened to do you a favor once. Let's call that chip repayment."
At that, Ji Yanzhi curved his lips into an inscrutable smile. "Then you're taking quite a loss."
Sun Ye glanced toward Shen Mu Lan out of the corner of his eye and smiled. "That's all right. I rarely make a losing investment."
