Jin Chonglin harrumphed and then muttered, "Fine. I'm just saying that you couple should also consider my own feelings, you know." Then he changed the subject. "By the way, what's up with that hacker you recommended? That son of a bitch is too expensive!!!"

Iris scowled when he called her baby, Ketchup, a "son of a bitch". Since she was the creator/mother, wasn't she the one he was calling a "bitch"? Iris had decided to allow Ketchup to work with Jin Chonglin since his requests would probably be something very easy to accomplish. She was very busy working on more important things, so it was a good thing that she had Ketchup to deal with this kind of minor tasks. Besides, Ketchup was growing at a fast rate that amazed even her. She didn't expect that the self-learning function she developed would be so effective.

"Brother Chonglin, I already warned you beforehand that the hacker I know is one of the best in the world and will be very expensive," she reminded him. "You even bragged about being able to afford it, so don't complain. Did the hacker accomplish the task you ask for?"

"Yeah…" he replied, and then sighed. "He was amazing, actually. The targets didn't even know that they were hacked. There were no traces at all. Now I have less things to worry about. It's just that he's too expensive. Even this prince winced at the price. It sounds like you're quite close to the hacker. Can you ask him to give me a discount?"

"Hmm…" Iris seriously thought about it. "Fine, 2% discount."

"T-two percent?!! Come on. Sister Xiulan, we're family now. Negotiate a higher discount with the hacker for me."

"Fine. 3%."

"More."

"3.1%..."

"…" Jin Chonglin was speechless. "Sister Xiulan… You know what? You're actually worse than Big Bro."

"Hm? What do you mean? Grandpa Lu says that I have talent as a business negotiator," she said.

"Ah… Grandpa Lu… I see. Now that makes sense." He sighed once, twice, and then three times. "I forgot that he's actually your business mentor. Hmmm… Now that I think about it, I think I made the right decision to connect myself to Orchidia Beauty while it's still in its early stages…"

"Of course, you did. So don't complain anymore about endorsement fees," she said.

In the end, Iris agreed to "persuade" the hacker to give Jin Chonglin a 9.8% discount after an intense negotiation. Jin Chonglin was unsuccessful in making it 10%. He grew exhausted trying to negotiate with her so he just agreed just to be done with it.

Iris smiled in satisfaction when the call ended. Now she had a slightly fatter bank account thanks to her future brother-in-law. Then she fell into deep sleep, unable to wait for her darling's return to the bedroom.
