Chapter 304: Chapter 4: The First Person in History Chapter 304: Chapter 4: The First Person in History Xu Mo and Ye Qingdie went shopping on their way back.
After signing the contract, Ye Qingdie received an advance payment of three hundred thousand Federation dollars.
On their way back to Future City, Xu Mo and his companion noticed a group of people patrolling the area, who seemed to be bodyguards; several of them kept their gaze fixed on him.
As Xu Mo continued forward, he saw two figures chatting ahead.
One of them was the austere old gentleman he had seen the other day, while the other was a middle-aged man, around forty, dressed plainly and neatly.
Sensing Xu Mo’s gaze, both men looked his way.
The old gentleman smiled and nodded his head, obviously remembering Xu Mo.
Xu Mo nodded back and moved his gaze away, walking past without the other party minding, as they kept on chatting.
Their voices were not loud, but Xu Mo still overheard their conversation, which appeared to be about a political topic.
Was the old gentleman a politician?
He didn’t quite seem to have that sort of temperament; he looked more like a scholar.
As for the middle-aged man, he did have the air of a public servant.
However, this was not surprising.
Stark had warned before that the residents here generally held power and influence.

As for their discussion topics, Xu Mo had no interest.
He didn’t like politics.

When he got home, he found it empty.
Mia and Elsa had gone to the academy, Xiao Qi and Ying had stayed to work at Stark Group, and Bai Wei had taken Yaoer to school.
Thus, only the two of them were left in the house, which suddenly felt a lot quieter.
Xu Mo sat down on the sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, and Ye Qingdie opened a bottle of red wine, poured two glasses, and handed one to Xu Mo, saying with a smile, “Let’s celebrate the first paycheck earned.”
In a way, this truly counted as Ye Qingdie’s first job.
The tasks in the Underworld were all about killing and arson.
Xu Mo took the glass and said, “Sister Butterfly, are you really not going to quit?”
“The contract has been signed, and the advance payment taken.” Ye Qingdie swirled her glass and said, “I can’t just let someone else’s boyfriend provide for me, can I?”
Coughing as he sipped from his glass, Xu Mo choked.
Ye Qingdie walked over to the window, still swirling her wine, and gazed out as she said, “Xu Mo, coming all the way from the Underworld, haven’t you realized that life is already pretty good now?
Without Stark’s help, there was no chance of getting such a job.”
Naturally, Xu Mo understood.
Although Sister Butterfly herself was highly qualified, there was no shortage of beautiful women in Capital Chuanxing City; given Stark Group’s influence and the payment offered, countless people would eagerly apply for a job if recruitment was announced.
“Indeed,” Xu Mo nodded.
“I’m already very satisfied.” Ye Qingdie revealed a radiant smile; such a life was unimaginable in the Underworld.
Now, being with everyone, finding a job that she was interested in, and watching Xu Mo grow; she had no further demands.
One should be content.
As for gaining fame, after her experience in Steel Dome City, she didn’t mind having a certain reputation in Capital Chuanxing City.
That way, she might be able to, just like Mia did before, make some waves if Xu Mo needed it one day.
As an ordinary person, that would be virtually impossible.
“Are you really satisfied?” Xu Mo asked.
Ye Qingdie, not sure if she understood Xu Mo’s implication, rolled her eyes at him, then sat down next to him and said, “Of course.
I used to wonder if you’d leave if you got a girlfriend one day, but after seeing Zero, I think it would be nice to be with Zero.”
So, Sister Butterfly had been subtly reminding him about a young girlfriend?
Was it to matchmake him with Zero?
“Sister Butterfly will never be a burden to you.
If one day you no longer need me, I can disappear at any time.” Ye Qingdie looked at Xu Mo, her eyes sincere, perhaps fueled by the alcohol.
To Ye Qingdie, Xu Mo meant too much.
It all started with that breakout battle in the black market.
Xu Mo’s gaze flickered elsewhere.
Having lived two lives, Xu Mo was not set in his ways.
Dating and breaking up were only too normal.
But as Ye Qingdie thought, she meant too much to him.
Similarly, Sister Butterfly also held a special significance for him.
That’s why he had always been afraid to cross that line, for fear of causing hurt.
“So, you do get nervous?” Ye Qingdie said with a brilliant smile, seeing Xu Mo’s evasive gaze.
He was still the younger brother after all.
Humiliated!
Xu Mo set down his glass and looked at Ye Qingdie, causing her to pause.
Then he took away her wine glass.
Suddenly, Ye Qingdie tensed up, looking at Xu Mo nervously, her cheeks blushing.
“Same goes for you,” Xu Mo said with a mischievous look in his eyes.
Bam…
Ye Qingdie kicked out and, caught off guard, Xu Mo was knocked off the sofa.
He looked down for a moment, then at Ye Qingdie, his expression exaggerated.
“I…”
“Still the same?” Ye Qingdie asked, her tone playful yet commanding.
At that moment, the sound of the door opening came.
“Brother.” Yaoer’s voice came from the doorway, and then Xu Mo and Yaoer walked in.
“Brother, why are you sitting on the floor?” Yaoer asked, looking at Xu Mo.
“Brother is admiring the scenery,” Xu Mo respondend, stifling his pain.
“Oh,” Yaoer nodded.
Bai Wei also came over, her curiosity piqued as she looked at Xu Mo and Ye Qingdie.
Why did the atmosphere seem a bit peculiar?
“Tired, going to rest,” Ye Qingdie said, stretching lazily.
In her long dress, her figure was on full display.
