I earn really hard money

Chapter 420 Listeners

"Auntie, this is Ma Zhenliang, is Professor Ma's home?"

He Xia knew who the person opposite was, but she still didn't pretend to be a stranger, so it would be more natural.

"Yes, yes... you are?"

Liu Xia did not let the door open, but asked curiously.

There is a beautiful woman who is looking for her son, and she immediately invites in. When someone comes to look for her old man, she blocks the questioning. The difference in treatment is very obvious.

He Xia smiled and said, "Haha, then you must be Liu Xia, Aunt Liu. Let me introduce myself. I am He Xia from H·E Investment Company. I am here to visit Professor Ma Zhenliang."

"He Xia?"

This name made Liu Xia feel unfamiliar, but she knew that H·E Investment Company was the big company that invited her old man to do scientific research, so she let He Xia into the room and made a gesture of invitation, At the same time, he said loudly in the direction of the restaurant: "Lao Ma, Mr. He from the investment company is here to visit you."

In the restaurant, Ma Zhenliang and Ma Bochao immediately looked at each other, with complex expressions in their eyes, they really said Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be here, just talking about this matter, there are people coming over there...

There is a feeling of being stolen.

Ma Zhenliang put down the bowl and chopsticks, wiped his mouth, got up and walked out of the restaurant. When he saw He Xia, he was startled suddenly, and his expression changed immediately.

As a well-known scientific researcher in the industry, there is naturally a way to watch the live video of the World Cancer Conference. Even if Ma Zhenliang recognized the person who came...

It's the high-ranking big shot he said before who doesn't care about the small things of recruiting talents!
"The arrival of the World Health Organization's anti-cancer ambassador really makes the hut flourish..."

Ma Zhenliang stepped forward quickly, looked at the young man standing in front of him with some regret, and stretched out his hand at the same time. He had a little understanding of the background of the young man in front of him. real boss!

This is the information that the previous headhunting consultant disclosed to him, otherwise he would not know that the H·E investment company is in the hands of such a young man!

"Professor Ma is too polite, it's just a false name, haha!"

He Xia held Ma Zhenliang's hand enthusiastically and shook it up and down.

The smile on Liu Xia's face froze as she stood aside. Although she was a retired old woman, the WHO still knew about it. Although she had never heard of the name of the anti-cancer ambassador, she was able to serve as an official from the WHO. It is definitely not an ordinary role.

"Well, everyone, don't stand at the door and talk, sit in the living room, sit down and talk."

She took several people to the living room.

Stepping into the living room, He Xia's eyebrows twitched instantly, and he scanned the living room for a short time, which was very different from what he thought.

Before he came here, he thought that Professor Ma Zhenliang's house would have a very rigid decoration style, probably like that in the 90s and [-]s, with antique wooden furniture and period-style furnishings, and a shrine would be even more lifelike.

But in reality, it's not like that at all...

On the TV wall is a deep purple EVA clock, the panel material is very textured, the wall behind the sofa is not "home and everything", but a huge family portrait wall hanging of Saint Seiya Golden Zodiac, made of golden light fine!

The display racks next to the TV cabinet are not art and miscellaneous items, but a grid of anime figures inside each grid!

Saint Seiya, Prince of Tennis, Conan, One Piece, Fullmetal Alchemist...

The small ones are about the size of a thumb, while the large ones are as tall as a football.

If all those figurines are authentic, it will cost more than [-] yuan to do so.

He Xia knew that Ma Bochao was a manga fan, but he didn't expect that it would radiate into his life. From the decoration of the home, it can be seen that Ma Zhenliang and Liu Xia love their son. They are very reasonable parents who can allow the decoration style to be according to their son's preferences!
The guests and hosts were seated, but just as He Xia was about to speak, there was a faint buzzing sound from Eliza's bag, which was carrying a lot of gifts beside him!
The two looked at each other, both showing surprised expressions.

Ma Zhenliang, who was close at hand, also heard the buzzing, but he had no idea what it meant.

"Professor Ma." He Xia turned to look at Ma Zhenliang, who had a confused face, and asked in a low voice, "Has your family installed monitoring and listening equipment?"

Professor Ma Zhenliang shook his head in doubt, and then with an unbelievable surprise on his face, he lowered his voice and said, "Mr. He, do you mean...someone in my family installed those things?"

As a research leader, Professor Ma Zhenliang's thinking is very sharp. Combined with the untimely beep just now, he quickly understood the reason why He Xia asked this question.

He Xia nodded, and at the same time made a motion to look around.

Professor Ma Zhenliang immediately raised his hand, please feel free. He broke out in a cold sweat. He never thought that someone would install monitoring equipment in his home. This is too scary!

It's not that he never doubted He Xia, but the suspicion was fleeting. The other party didn't need to pretend to be a ghost, and as the other party, it was reasonable to carry the detection and monitoring equipment with him!
"Old horse, this is..."

Just as Liu Xia wanted to ask a question, she was stopped by Ma Zhenliang's gesture of silence.

After He Xia nodded, Elisa put down a few gift bags, took out the equipment from the bag, and started to investigate the surroundings carefully, sofa, coffee table, TV cabinet...

Ma Bochao came out of the restaurant suspiciously, saw a man younger than himself sitting on the sofa, nodded with a friendly smile, and said hello.

Soon, Elisa got an idea. She walked to the entrance, locked her eyes on the shoe cabinet, then nodded to He Xia firmly, and then used Ma Zhenliang to move the shoe cabinet.

Ma Zhenliang nodded without hesitation, and at the same time motioned for Ma Bochao to come forward and do a favor.

The size of the shoe cabinet is not too big, and Elisa can handle it by herself, but unfortunately, after removing it, nothing was found...

Elisa restored the shoe cabinet suspiciously, then stared at the two rows of hooks on the shoe cabinet.

These hooks are used for a variety of purposes. Liu Xia’s grocery shopping bags and sun hats, Ma Zhenliang’s and Ma Bochao’s keys, etc. are all hung on them, as well as several decorative cartoon dolls.

Eliza's eyes fell on a metal button-shaped keychain that was slightly larger than an AirTag!
Holding the tester close to the metal button, there was an instant violent reaction.

"This……"

Liu Xia looked at the metal keychain in great doubt, and faced Ma Zhenliang's questioning gaze, she shook her head and whispered, "It's not mine!"

Ma Bochao also waved his hands again and again, and said eagerly: "This is not my thing either!"

Elisa took off the keychain, opened the cover after careful operation, and exposed the tight electronic components inside, which are very delicate!

Three times, five times and two times, Elisa removed the power supply of the bug, held a memory card in her hand, and said to everyone: "A very camouflaged monitor, not connected to the network, with a built-in memory card, I want to get The content needs to be taken away again."

Among the people present, except for Ma Bochao who reacted a little slower and didn't understand what Elisa said, even Liu Xia, a retired old woman, understood the key point.

Since the information needs to be taken away again before the information can be read, it is very likely that an acquaintance committed the crime, at least the kind that can come to the door again.

"Mr. He laughed. I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen..." Ma Zhenliang only felt a slight heat on his face. He could guarantee that he hadn't done it, but he was afraid that the other party would not believe it.

He Xia shook his head with a smile, and immediately asked: "Could it be installed by the research institute?"

As a leading scientific researcher, He Xia feels that he is fully qualified to be monitored...

However, Ma Zhenliang shook his head helplessly: "The old man is about to retire, who cares about me."

He Xia also responded with a helpless smile, looked at Elisa and said, "Do you have a card reader?"

Eliza shrugged regretfully, and then said, "It's in the car, I'll go get it."

"I have!"

Without waiting for Eliza to turn around, Ma Bochao raised his hand like a student, and quickly packed out a laptop and card reader.

"Oh... this is an encrypted memory card!"

After Elisa borrowed Ma Bochao's computer to operate it, she found that she couldn't open it and needed a key.

He Xia moved her finger. She planned to use hacking techniques to try to crack it, but then she turned her head and thought that the current environment is not suitable. Some techniques are not suitable for displaying in front of people. Once you let others know that you can hack techniques, it is not a good thing. !
If we really want to let the outside world know that the chairman of H·E Investment Company is a hacker, many doubts and dirty water will be poured on He Xia...

After thinking for a while, He Xia said to Ma Zhenliang, "Professor, do you mind if I take the card away and ask someone to crack it?"

"I'm hoping that Mr. Ho will do that!"

Ma Zhenliang raised his hand as a gesture of invitation, with a very serious expression on his face, and he also wanted to know who was so cunning to make such a thing in his house.

"It's so disgusting. I don't know how long it's been hanging there. We haven't paid attention to the shoe cabinet hooks..."

Liu Xia frowned deeply. She was the one who spent the most time at home. She must have recorded a lot of her talking to herself, which made her feel very angry!
"I will try my best to find out whoever made the trouble!"

He Xia asked Elisa to put away the monitoring device and memory card, then picked up the gift box from the ground, and said with a smile: "Leave the unhappy things aside, that... When I came here, I specially prepared a meeting gift for you. It's a gift from Teacher Ma."

While talking, He Xia handed the gift box to Ma Bochao who stood aside and did not leave.

"mine?"

Ma Bochao was obviously taken aback.

In the past, there were quite a few people who came to visit his father. Most of the junior students of the research institute would come to visit, and basically they would bring some gifts. Although they were all returned, judging from the types of gifts, they knew that it had nothing to do with him.

I didn't expect to have his share this time, which was very surprising.

He Xia smiled and said, "Yes, I know Teacher Ma likes animation, so I specially picked a figure for you."

"Ha, this..."

Ma Bochao looked at his father. After all, the other party gave gifts for his father's face. Whether to accept it or not depends on his father's will.

"The figurines are the dolls you usually play with, right?" Ma Zhenliang pointed to the display cabinet beside him, with a helpless smile on his face, but he had a good impression of He Xia in his heart.

Giving gifts that take into account the preferences of those around you must be done with your heart, and no matter what the motive is, at least this heart is worthy of recognition.

Ma Bochao nodded with an embarrassed smile.

"Mr. He has a heart, so you can accept it." Ma Zhenliang nodded and agreed with his son to accept the gift. He has never known the real price of those figures, and basically stayed at the concept of a few yuan for a bag when Ma Bochao was a child.

If Ma Zhenliang knew that a figure as big as a palm would cost thousands, he would definitely feel pain when he saw that figure in the display cabinet.

"Then, thank you, Mr. He."

Ma Bochao was obviously older than He Xia, but he seemed a little cramped. The moment he took the gift box, his hand sank slightly. The box was obviously not big, but it had some weight!
Immediately, Ma Bochao was about to untie the bundled ribbons, but when he heard his father cough, he quickly stopped what he was doing.

He Xia laughed and didn't care, then handed Ma Zhenliang and Liu Xia a gift box each.

Since their sons had accepted each other's gifts, Ma Zhenliang and Liu Xia did not refuse too much.

At the end of the gift-giving session, He Xia and Ma Zhenliang chatted about biomedicine-related topics naturally, and Ma Bochao, as a biology teacher, could occasionally catch up with a few words, just from the fact that he glanced at the gift box from time to time. absent-minded.

When He Xia talks about things with different people, he will adopt different strategies. Sometimes he needs to get straight to the point, but it is more appropriate to cultivate the atmosphere first.

Seeing that the conversation was almost done and the atmosphere was in place, he pondered for a moment and said, "Professor Ma, I heard that the relationship between the former headhunting consultant and you seems to be a bit unpleasant. Can you understand the specific situation?"

The harmonious atmosphere is like a progress bar that suddenly pauses, as if the network is stuck, and it just stops...

With an awkward yet polite smile on his face, Ma Bochao held the box and said, "Well, I'm going back to the room first, and I have to prepare for tomorrow's class. Dad, Mr. He, you two can talk slowly."

After finishing speaking, he walked away...

Liu Xia glanced at the bastard who had slipped away, dumbfounded, and saw that He Xia, who was five or six years younger than her own son, was able to talk with the old man, the difference between people was so huge.

"Mr. He, Lao Ma, you talk, I will prepare some fruit for you."

Liu Xia also temporarily left the living room.

Ma Zhenliang smiled helplessly, and said, "Mr. He, I don't really want to talk about the past."

He was very contradictory in his heart, and he was saying that a high-ranking guy like the chairman of H·E Investment Company would not care about such trivial matters as recruiting talents, but when He Xia really came, some ideas felt difficult to express.

Are you really talking about equal pay for equal work with the other party?
Ma Zhenliang felt unable to speak.

He Xia's eyes moved, and she smiled happily: "I also think the future is the direction we should pursue..."

dong dong dong...

Before the words fell, the two heard a burst of hurried footsteps, only to see Ma Bochao rushing out of the bedroom with a delicate and transparent box, with a panicked expression on his face.

Ma Zhenliang frowned and looked at his son, not understanding why he was so reckless.

Ma Bochao swallowed his saliva, smiled awkwardly, walked to the coffee table, and gently put down the box containing the figure, carefully looking as if it was not a figure, but an antique porcelain.

"Ho ho ho..."

He sneered and said, "He, Mr. He...I can't accept this gift, so I'll give it back to you."

Ma Zhenliang felt strange. He looked at the hand-made toys in the box. Since there are two-dimensional elements everywhere in the house, he immediately recognized that the toy in the box seemed to be one of the characters on the wallpaper.

He didn't know why he looked at Ma Bochao, a small brass toy, what was he doing so nervously?
Seeing the puzzled look in his father's eyes, Ma Bochao quickly explained: "Dad, this... this is Bandai, this is the Saint Cloth of Sagittarius, the key is that it is pure gold!"
