Chapter 65: Chapter 65 Niu Ma is really a beast

Why does this woman keep trying to take advantage of him?

Could she really be just a praying mantis?

"I’m not convenient, I’m currently in my egg-laying period,"

he said perfunctorily.

"Okay then."

The novelist sounded a bit disappointed.

"Just like last time, I hope you can help me order a delivery, try to make the delivery time as long as possible,"

Liu Zheng said.

"No problem."

The novelist agreed readily.

"As for the money, I’ll give it to you when I deliver the meal,"

he said.

Since there was money involved, freeloaded didn’t seem proper.

Relationships with reliable people like novelists need to be carefully nurtured.

"You don’t have to, I’m not short of money,"

the novelist refused.

"Then how about I bring you a cup of Unlucky Coffee?"

On the way back, he had given the leftover coffee to French Plane Tree, and this cup he had saved for himself.

"Wow, thank you, senior."

The novelist said happily.

Liu Zheng hung up the phone and saw Niu Ma looking at him with a strange expression.

"What’s up, boss?"

he asked.

"You know how to write novels?"

"Not too badly. But my talent didn’t last, after a few books it all went downhill, and then I changed careers,"

Liu Zheng replied.

"What did you turn to?"

"Became a journalist."

"Which newspaper?"

"A no-name tabloid, not worth mentioning,"

he said indifferently.

"With your writing skills, how did you end up delivering food?"

"I crossed some big shot and got fired."

He had written an article exposing that a certain property development was previously an industrial site, polluted environment, severe toxic substances accumulated underground, and the new homes’ deluxe furnishing used many inferior products.

Then, Liu Zheng was asked by the editor-in-chief to publicly apologize and admit his reporting was false, or else he’d be fired and blacklisted within the industry.

At the same time, the developer also contacted him, one hand holding an envelope, the other hand holding another envelope.

It’s just that one envelope contained money, and the other one contained a lawyer’s letter.

When faced with professional ethics and career, he didn’t hesitate much before choosing money.

But just as Liu Zheng was about to contact the developer, his medical report came back.

He was diagnosed with ALS.

Then there was nothing more to say.

A person with both cultural and physical strength, if he is reckless and has no family, can unleash almost boundless power.

I won’t go into details about the process, but in any case, both the editor-in-chief and the developer paid the price they deserved.

"Didn’t see it coming, you’ve got quite a story,"

Niu Ma commented with a twist of his mouth.

"Who doesn’t have a story these days? Just like you, boss, must be quite a story of how you and Pighead escaped from the breeding farm, right?"

Liu Zheng flattered a little.

"You’ve got guts, I wouldn’t dare call it that. It’s also known by another name, Heavenly Butcher,"

Niu Ma gave him a sideways glance.

"Heavenly Butcher?"

"That’s right. I didn’t come from the same farm as it. Its place was called ’Heaven,’ specialized in breeding its kind. Whereas mine was called ’103,’ housing about twenty or thirty types of big livestock,"

Niu Ma reminisced.

"So how did you get sold off by the Circle of God cult?"

"Just bad luck. I had just escaped from the farm when I was caught red-handed by the thieving Circle of God cult."

"Damn it, if I had left a minute earlier or a minute later, I could have avoided this misfortune,"

Niu Ma said indignantly.

"It’s said that disaster avoided is the fortune behind, right?"

Liu Zheng consoled.

"And then you got sold to the restaurant?"

"Yeah, initially as backup food supply, then when it nearly wiped out the kitchen staff, I took the opportunity and got hired. Later on, when the delivery department was short-handed, I transferred there,"

Niu Ma explained.

"So, Heavenly Butcher is kinda like your lifesaver."

"Heh, how do you think it got down from the roasting rack?"

Niu Ma sneered.

"Boss, is that something you can say outright?"

Liu Zheng was startled.

"It doesn’t matter."

Niu Ma waved a hoof.

"Now, in the restaurant’s management, except for Britain, everyone else climbed up the ladder later. If anything, they should thank it."

"So is Britain very strong?"

"Strong it certainly is, I can’t beat it when it comes to sheer strength,"

admitted Niu Ma.

"As for Napoleon, unless it uses the Seven Deadly Sins, it probably can’t beat me."

"Damn it, all I’m lacking is a proper suite of tools, or else none of them would be a match for me."

swore Niu Ma.

"No worries, I’ll leave the Legendary delivery man uniform for you,"

said Liu Zheng.

"Keep it for yourself, by the time I come back from my vacation I won’t be working here anymore. I’ve come to see over the years that working for someone else has no future if you want to get rich, you’ve got to be your own boss."

said Niu Ma.

"It’s just a matter of benefits in each case,"

he wasn’t as extreme as Niu Ma.

For a strong individual like Niu Ma, it’s natural to feel that working for someone else isn’t worth it.

But for a weaker individual like Liu Zheng, it’s better to enjoy the shade under a big tree.

In fact, if it weren’t for the fact that Niu Ma was a restaurant employee, French Plane Tree would probably have beaten it to death during the fake wine incident.

"First, I’ll expand the restaurant’s channels, devour all the resources of the cult, and then take the business to the black market,"

Niu Ma planned out its business empire.

"Will you steal from the ’103’ breeding farm just like they do?"

asked Liu Zheng.

"Isn’t that obvious? Where else would I get low costs from?"

said Niu Ma righteously.

"The stolen cattle and horses? Will you also sell them to the restaurant?"

"Sell!"

declared Niu Ma decisively.

"Even if they were my wife and kids, if one day they went hungry, I’d sell them just the same."

"Badass,"

Liu Zheng brought his four tentacles together, pretending to give a thumbs up.

"The world is like that. Do you know how I escaped from the breeding farm?"

"How did you escape?"

he played along, asking.

"Because I lied to them, saying that once I got out I would open the gates and let them all out."

"They believed it?"

"They did. They volunteered to be stepping stones for me and even threw themselves against the electric fence, causing an overload."

"A bunch of idiots, they believed that kind of talk. Just because I took a few beatings for them? Just because I told them what the world outside was like?"

"How the hell would I know what the outside world was like? I just made it all up."

Niu Ma cursed loudly.

"If you hadn’t been caught by the cult, would you have opened the gate for them?"

"Of course not,"

Niu Ma said without hesitation.

"Boss, you really are an animal."

Once again, Liu Zheng raised his large tentacles.

"If you’re itching for a scrape, just come out and say it, I’ll go find Napoleon and borrow a scraper to satisfy your itch,"

Niu Ma glanced at him sideways.

"No need, no need, I can scratch myself just fine. But you’re telling me this so frankly, aren’t you afraid I’ll be wary of you?"

"If I don’t tell you, will you stop being cautious about me?"

"Heh."

"Heh."

The two beasts looked at each other and smiled.

"You’ve got to speak frankly with clever people. If you really can help me get the business off the ground, as long as you don’t mess with my money, I’ll have your back,"

said Niu Ma.

"Don’t worry, I just want to stay alive, money is just a tool to me,"

"That’s best,"

Niu Ma nodded.

Just as they were about to end their conversation, Ghost Hand quietly crept in.

This time, however, it stayed after laying down the order.
