HIS GENIUS WIFE IS A SUPERSTAR

801 - 810

Chapter 801 Brother - in

The remnant inside Lu Zihao started stirring again after hearing Jin Liwei's involvement in the matter at hand. Feelings that didn't belong to him started flooding his psyche but he quickly suppressed them. He subdued the remnant which was currently insisting that it wanted to see its third brother, talk to him, and re-establish their precious brotherhood.

In the end, he won another temporary battle. But if he continued on like this, his sanity would eventually fray. Bloodlust started leaking out of him again, as he reinforced his will on the remnant.

There was no way that he, Nikolai Vetrov, would allow a mere remnant to defeat him and kick him out of this body. It wasn't even a complete soul but only a small, annoying piece that refused to let go of the body and the original Lu Zihao's attachments in the world like the brotherhood with Jin Liwei and the others.

He was now the new owner of this body. Sharing his body? Hah! No way! It was like asking him, Nikolai Vetrov, who was known as a territorial devil to openly and kindly share what he considered his with an enemy. Impossible!

The increasingly regular battles for control might be difficult and taxing, but he was never afraid of fighting. With his strength and willpower, he was confident that he would one day win the war and completely defeat the annoying remnant and take full control of this body.

After subduing the remnant, he returned his attention on Bacon whose tail was now thumping. He had to admit though, that the black cat was indeed quite skilled in hiding its real thoughts and emotions behind its almost perfect impassive face. Once Bacon started working for him, he would train the cat to control his entire body. Showing its real thoughts and emotions through its tail was a huge weakness and Lu Zihao didn't tolerate any glaring weaknesses in him and also in his subordinates.

"Since you got parental permission, fine. I'll consider your request to work for me as a freelancer. But first, let's talk about the terms of our working relationship. How much salary do you want?"

Bacon blinked its golden eyes. "10 million US dollars per day?"

Lu Zihao's expression turned dark. "Absolutely not."

"5 million US dollars per day?"

"Hell no."

"1 million—"

"No," Lu Zihao interrupted, sighing. "If your asking price has that many zeroes, forget about getting paid in US dollars."

"Fine, Uncle Zihao." Then Bacon countered, "How about 1 million RMB per day?"

Lu Zihao's mouth twitched. On the inside, he was laughing at the black cat's attempt at negotiating. Damn. This cat was indeed his sister's child. Wait. His sister was never this shameless when asking him in their past lives. It was the old man who corrupted his sister, teaching her about being shameless in front of family. Grandpa Lu's booming laughter echoed in his mind.

He crossed his arms over his big, muscled chest and threw a hard, stern look at Bacon. "Do you think that you are your mother, the world-class hacker Drakon? I haven't met you before tonight so that means that you've only been 'born' recently. You haven't proven yourself yet. There is no way that you're worth 1 million in either US dollars or RMB right now. With how inexperienced you are, even your older sister, that white cat is worth more than you."

Bacon's tail twitched, an indication that it didn't like what his uncle said that his older sister Ketchup was worth more than him right now. Finally, he admitted, "Bacon doesn't have full comprehension yet of the value of money as it applies in the labour market. Since this is the case, I will ask my father to negotiate a fair salary for me instead."
