Tomb Raider: What the hell is this strange commission?

Chapter 31 Bosses who deduct wages should be hung on street lamps

Zhou Zixu set out full of energy and returned half dead.

The contrast brought about by this short day shocked Old Man Zhou.

It is said that he was very angry on the phone and asked the bodyguards to take people directly to the Zhou family's private hospital and did not even let them into the house.

This is also why Chi Yu and Black Glasses are sitting on the waiting chairs in the hospital at this time.

The man with black glasses seemed to dislike the environment here. After sitting for a while, he took out a cigarette from his pocket. Just as he was about to light it, he received a death stare from Chi Yu.

Chi Yu pointed to the no-smoking sign on the wall and said coldly, "If you want to smoke, go outside. Smoking is prohibited here."

Originally, Black Glasses felt a little tired, but as Chi Yu finished speaking, the restless energy in Black Glasses suddenly emerged again, and he wanted to argue with Chi Yu about "whether he can smoke here".

But as his phone rang, the man with black glasses looked at the caller ID, thought for a moment, and decided to go outside to answer it.

Without Black Glasses around, Chi Yu suddenly felt quieter.

But he had nothing else to do here alone, so he just stared at the system interface and checked the spoils in his bag to pass the time.

The man with black glasses was on the phone for nearly half an hour. He came back reeking of cigarettes, with his hands in his pockets, looking very unhappy.

"What's wrong?" Chi Yu leaned back in her chair, looked up at him and asked.

"Nothing much, it's just that the sponsor is very dissatisfied with the result and decided to reduce my balance by half." The man with black glasses said this with a lot of resentment.

Chi Yu said "Oh?" and said, "You didn't bargain with him?"

"Of course I bargained, otherwise how could I stay out so long?"

The man with black glasses sighed and sat down next to Chi Yu again. The strong smell of cigarettes on his body made Chi Yu tilt his head and fan the air a few times.

"It seems you failed to change Mr. Zhou's mind."

This time, the man with black glasses sighed even more exaggeratedly, complaining to Chi Yu, "This is the bad thing about doing business with outsiders. They don't understand the dangers at all. Even if you reason with them, it won't make sense. They say they only care about the results."

Hearing this, Chi Yu thought of Zhou Zixu who was still in a coma, and felt a little melancholy.

Could it be that he also cannot escape the fate of having his salary cut?

However, Chi Yu is not the type of person who is willing to suffer losses. Even for him, the game rewards are the biggest part and he does not really value real money. It does not mean that someone can reduce the compensation he should have received with just a few words.

So after Old Man Zhou arrived late, Chi Yu argued with him outside Zhou Zixu's ward, and his words were so sharp that the other party had to retreat again and again.

The man with black glasses, who had watched the whole process, admitted defeat and desperately gestured to Chi Yu to take his share when Zhou's father couldn't see.

Chi Yu did not refuse this casual thing.

In the end, not only did Old Man Zhou fail to deduct their appearance fees, he even doubled the rescue costs.

Even the money Chi Yu spent on the special medicine that saved Zhou Zixu's life was reimbursed.

Originally, Father Zhou was skeptical about the so-called special medicine described by Chi Yu, but the nurse in the ward came out and told him that Zhou Zixu was now awake and in good condition.

Mr. Zhou, who had checked Zhou Zixu's physical examination form before coming, immediately realized the magic of this medicine and was willing to pay for it.

When Old Man Zhou left the two of them and went in to visit his beloved son, the man with black glasses stood outside the door, took out his cell phone, and grinned at the amount of money that had arrived on the text message.

Finally, remembering that there was a great contributor beside him, he looked up at Chi Yu and said, "Boss Chi, I didn't expect you to be quite eloquent. You can even turn black into white. Why do you usually like to pretend to be silent with me, your brother?"

Chi Yu disagreed with this: "I just don't like to talk, not that I don't talk. I also usually pay attention to you. Don't try to be so mean. If you don't want it, just give me the money."

"Who said I don't want it?" The man with black glasses leaned back cautiously, but then smiled and asked Chi Yu, "But where did you learn this skill of talking? Even Boss Zhou was fooled by you and almost got dragged into a ditch."

Chi Yu gave Black Glasses a look of understanding when he tried to change the subject: "These are all negotiation skills I learned when I was doing business before. They are just right for someone like Mr. Zhou."

"So awesome? It seems like you were a big boss before. I was right to call you Boss Chi."

"It's just a small business. I'm not a big boss." Chi Yu shook his head.

Black Glasses did not refute, shook the phone in his hand, and asked Chi Yu: "Now that the money has been obtained, there is no need for me to stay here any longer. Boss Chi, let's go together?"

Chi Yu's gaze lingered on the door of the ward for a while. Just as he was about to nod in agreement, he saw the door open.

Father Zhou looked around and saw Chi Yu still standing there. He raised his eyebrows and said to him, "My son said he wanted to talk to you alone."

Does Zhou Zixu have anything else to say to him?

Chi Yu was a little surprised, but he really wanted to hear what Zhou Zixu was going to say, so he said to the man with black glasses, "If you're in a hurry to leave, leave first. I'll go talk to Zhou Zixu."

The man with black glasses shook his head: "Go ahead, I'll wait for you outside."

After saying that, he turned and walked outside.

Chi Yu looked at the back of the man with black glasses as he left, thinking that it seemed that both of them had something to say to him.

But now let’s go and check on Zhou Zixu’s situation first.

Thinking of this, Chi Yu nodded to Old Man Zhou at the door, moved away from him, pushed the door open and walked in.

As the biggest sponsor of the hospital, Zhou Zixu's ward is the most luxuriously decorated one. Not only does the interior look very beautiful, but the scenery outside the window is also very charming.

Zhou Zixu was half lying on the bed at this time, and the bed was propped up by the nurse to facilitate their conversation.

Chi Yu took a look at Zhou Zixu's current appearance and found that his injuries had been well treated.

The wound was wrapped tightly with bandages and water was still dripping from his hands. Although the injury looked serious, he no longer looked as disheveled as when he was first brought out of underground by them.

When Zhou Zixu saw Chi Yu come in, his eyes lit up and he waved to the nurse to leave the room.

"Mr. Zhou, tell me you have something else to say to me." Chi Yu pulled a chair and sat in front of the bed.
