The base was huge, and after walking around it, Zheng Xiaotian had to admit this.

"Zheng Xiaotian!" Tony turned his head and looked at Zheng Xiaotian.

"Uh, what is it?" Zheng Xiaotian replied.

"We haven't discussed the salary yet. Do you have any requirements regarding the salary?" Tony asked with a smile.

Zheng Xiaotian really wanted to say that he didn't have many requirements, and that a suit of armor would be fine. But he only thought this in his heart and definitely wouldn't say it out loud.

"Actually, money is just an external thing; I don't care about it," Zheng Xiaotian waved his hand. "Since you need me here, the joy of the work is more important than the compensation you give me."

"In that case, let's set the salary at one hundred yuan," Tony nodded.

Zheng Xiaotian rolled his eyes. He thought to himself, did the guy in the movie ever act so stingy? Those sports cars, of various models, must be worth tens of millions. Each suit of armor, if sold, would fetch tens of millions. Every woman who went out with him would receive gifts worth hundreds of thousands. When it came to paying salaries, just one hundred yuan? It seems like the money he uses to date women, make armor, and buy sports cars is all saved up this way. How much can he save?

"Dissatisfied with the salary?" Tony asked with a smile.

"Fine, fine, I'm quite satisfied!" Zheng Xiaotian said insincerely.

Tony and Zheng Xiaotian threw themselves into the construction of the armor. They worked hard for a whole month.

Only then did Zheng Xiaotian realize that it took two people working day and night for a month to make a suit of armor. If he weren't here, and Tony worked alone as in the movie, it would take at least a month and a half.

"Great work," Tony looked at the heavy armor and patted his hands in satisfaction. This was his creation, his blood, his sweat. As for Zheng Xiaotian, he was simply an employee, so he didn't mention him.

"Indeed, great work," Zheng Xiaotian nodded.

"Unbelievable, a month has passed," Tony shook his head. He thought to himself that he hadn't touched a woman in a month. It was almost a disservice to his body.

"Indeed, a month has passed," Zheng Xiaotian looked at Tony.

Tony felt Zheng Xiaotian's gaze on him. He turned his head and looked at him. The greenish glow immediately scared him. He thought, "This little punk, could he be eyeing my rear? Is this guy's sexual orientation really normal?"

Zheng Xiaotian continued to look at Tony, regardless of what he was thinking.

"Why are you staring at me like that? It's creepy," Tony said.

"Don't you know?" Zheng Xiaotian countered.

"Huh?" Tony opened his mouth wide. "Should I know?"

"Do you really not know?" Zheng Xiaotian asked again, looking at Tony.

"I don't know," Tony shook his head.

"A month has passed, shouldn't you pay me my salary? Are you planning to just brush it off? This is my hard-earned money, okay?" Zheng Xiaotian said.

Tony breathed a sigh of relief. At least it was just a financial debt, not an emotional one, otherwise...

Tony took out his wallet, pulled out a hundred yuan, and handed it to Zheng Xiaotian.

"Thank you!" Zheng Xiaotian smiled. He thought, the current exchange rate is 1:8.5. Taking this back, it can be exchanged for 850 RMB. Tsk, tsk, tsk, staying here for so long, it's only a day back home. Earning 850 RMB a day. What does this mean? To get rich, you have to travel through time. In the world of time travel, gold bars can be taken back.

"Thanks for your hard work this month. Let's go, I'll take you out for a drink," Tony put his arm around Zheng Xiaotian.

"Wait!" Zheng Xiaotian pushed Tony away and looked at him seriously.

"Oh, don't worry, my sexual orientation is normal, I definitely don't have you on my mind!" Tony waved his hand.

"I'm very relieved!" Zheng Xiaotian nodded. Based on his understanding of Tony from the movie, Tony was a playboy who only dated beautiful women and never got emotionally involved, dumping them after a few days. In terms of sexual orientation, he was very reassured.

"Then what's your point?" Tony was suspicious.

"If you're making me pay for my own drinks, I won't go," Zheng Xiaotian waved his hand.

"I'll pay!" Tony smiled.

Tony drove and took Zheng Xiaotian to the city of San Francisco, USA. The name "San Francisco" comes from the fact that it was an old gold-mining town. Now, the new gold-mining town is Washington.

San Francisco, *%¥¥@#¥ Bar.

Zheng Xiaotian couldn't understand the name. His English wasn't good, so he couldn't read the letters on the sign, even though he could speak English and hear Chinese.

"Full of people, a place of entertainment!" Tony rubbed his hands excitedly and led Zheng Xiaotian into the bar.

The loud music almost deafened Zheng Xiaotian.

Zheng Xiaotian still didn't quite understand why this place was a symbol for young men and women. What was so good about it? You can't even hear people talking, just watching the women on stage dance. You can only look, not touch. It's purely visual, which just makes you more frustrated.

"Hi, Tony!" A beautiful woman greeted Tony.

Zheng Xiaotian frowned. He sensed a faint aura of killing intent from her. Although he couldn't tell what it was, he didn't want to stand next to her. A faint sense of danger was creeping into his heart.

"Hi, Honey!" Tony hugged the girl. Actually, he thought, who is this girl? I have no memory of her. But that's good. A girl he's dated once is definitely not dated again. A girl he has no memory of can be a new conquest.

"Tony, buy me a drink," the girl said.

"Delighted!" Tony waved to the bartender. "A bottle of Chivas."

When you come to a bar, if you just sit for a while and leave, you order a drink. If you're going to stay and have fun, you order a bottle first, and add more if needed.

Tony's way of ordering drinks was telling the girls, "I'm here to have fun, a generous young master. Girls, come and flirt with me. I'm waiting for you!"

Zheng Xiaotian couldn't stand Tony's current flashy behavior. If it weren't for the girl with the killing intent, he would really want to keep his distance from Tony and sit separately.
