My supermarket is connected to all worlds, and I've won so much money handing it over to the st

But he still can't find a new project... Oh right, Gu Xixi!

Fu Yuan recalled Gu Xixi's words, and a voice in his head kept telling him, "Go try it, go try it!"

Yes, he's going to take a look.

Even if Gu Xixi couldn't come up with the investment he wanted and the deal fell through, her family owned a supermarket. If they could squeeze in two employees, he would shamelessly ask them for help.

Fu Yuan immediately went out to call Gu Xixi. After confirming that Gu Xixi was home, he returned and happily explained to everyone.

"Everyone, please take the money. It's my responsibility as the boss if the company has no work. You should get paid for every day you work. Besides, an investor just approached me saying he wants to invest in us. Our company won't collapse, and our factory won't collapse either."

After he finished speaking, he started handing out money again.

Everyone was both happy and suspicious, and all hesitated to take it.

"Boss, the investment is the priority. You go and discuss the business first. We'll collect our salaries after you bring the contracts back. Until then, the money will be held by the finance department."

"Yeah, Lao Li, you're pretty smart, aren't you?"

"Boss, you go and discuss your business first. We're not in a hurry to pay your wages. We'll wait for you to come back here."

……

Fu Yuan smiled helplessly, then nodded, "Okay, I'll go right away."

The accountant put the cash into a bag, and Fu Yuan took the car keys and set off. He drove to the vicinity according to the navigation and continued driving forward following Gu Xixi's written description.

So when he drove to the entrance of a quiet villa complex, he was stopped. He got out of the car and saw that the security guards were obviously different from those in ordinary residential areas, which aroused his suspicion.

It wasn't until he saw Chu Feng, the man who had stood next to Gu Xixi at school a few days ago, that he realized he hadn't gone to the wrong place.

He had always thought Chu Feng was Gu Xixi's boyfriend, but now he was actually wearing a SWAT uniform... things didn't seem as simple as he had imagined.

Chu Feng walked up to him and said politely, "Mr. Fu, Gu Xixi is inside. Please come in with me. I will answer all your questions on the way."

"Okay." Fu Yuan glanced at Chu Feng's rank insignia again, without making a sound...

His anticipation was at its peak; he felt he had made the right choice coming here!

Upon arriving at Gu Xixi's study, Fu Yuan went inside. Gu Xixi stood up and gestured to the seat in front of her, saying, "Please sit down."

He sat down, looked around at his surroundings, and asked in confusion, "What's this place?"

“We’ve been recruited!” Gu Xixi smiled brightly. “These are our documents, these are our confidentiality agreements, and…”

Fu Yuan silently took the document and began to read it, becoming increasingly dazed with each word.

The system is both mystical and scientific.

Time travel—it's both absurd and plausible.

Recruiting them was a dream come true.

It was unexpected and touching that the top leader had been paying attention to them all along.

"Fu Yuan, you can sign now if you've thought it through," Gu Xixi reminded him, while also handing him a cup of hot water. "I told you I wasn't lying, the country hasn't abandoned you."

Fu Yuan felt a lump in his throat, hummed in agreement, and took out a pen to sign the confidentiality agreement and other documents.

Chu Feng took the documents and then reported, "Mr. Fu, we will arrange for someone to come to your factory to meet with you. You can go back now."

"Okay, thank you." Fu Yuan stood up, finally smiling. He then glanced at Gu Xixi and asked, "Could I have a few minutes to speak with Gu Xixi?"

Chu Feng retreated to the doorway of the room.

Fu Yuan was a little nervous. He had a lot to say, but he didn't know where to begin. After more than ten seconds, he asked, "Before, we... Actually, you were really outstanding. I rejected you back then only because my father had cancer and I was afraid of burdening you."

It's not because I don't like it.

"I heard from your roommate that you were sad for a long time. I'm sorry this apology comes too late. But you're doing well now, and I'm very happy for you."

Speaking of the past, Gu Xixi has let it go. She shook her head and chuckled, "It's okay, it's all in the past. We'll still be colleagues. And it's not just me who's doing well, we all have bright futures. Let's work together to build a beautiful China!"

Gu Xixi raised her arms and gestured a few times.

"Okay, it's a pleasure to cooperate." The two looked at each other, extended their hands at the same time, shook hands, and smiled at each other, both relieved.

Fu Yuan let go of her hand and left without looking back. Gu Xixi sat back down in her seat and began to review the pile of documents that needed her signature.

She's practically a female CEO now, what a sweet burden!

Gu Xixi hummed a song, enjoying the happy moment of signing and receiving the money, and even let out a chuckle.

Chu Feng thought she would reminisce about the past like a little girl, which would affect his emotions a bit, but he didn't expect... He miscalculated. Gu Xixi had the personality of a little girl, but the demeanor of a strong woman.

“Gu Xixi, you have a new schedule after work tomorrow morning.” Chu Feng began to arrange things again. “The order from the highest national leader has come down. Our current team is not yet complete, so tomorrow’s meeting will include departments and members of the Party organization, as well as the military and…”

"Our time travel project team will be a completely new and more complete team. In addition, all professors will be placed in the research department, while Professor Chen, Chen Mo, and several suppliers in charge of materials will be in the procurement and supply department... I will send you the information later."

"Okay, where's the sun I wanted?"

Tomorrow is almost here, the Mermaid King is coming too.

"I was just about to say that the artificial sun is already on its way and will definitely arrive tomorrow morning. Based on the value of the shark pearls that the Shark King brought out, we have prepared 20 small artificial suns with a three-year warranty. But let's give them one first to test the effect and see if any other improvements are needed."

Gu Xixi nodded again, relieved.

She seemed to remember something, then beckoned to Chu Feng, "There are some other supplies you need to prepare separately..."

The next day.

Shulai only learned new knowledge about treating diseases; Feicui only packed four days' worth of food; Chunhua delivered food and they all took four days off.

Gu Xixi almost burst out laughing. Four days of sleeping in, how wonderful!

She smiled, and the Mermaid King appeared, floating in the azure mist, cold and mysterious. "Looks like there's good news?"

Gu Xixi stood up. "Of course, we made one of the suns you wanted, but we don't know if you'll be satisfied with the result, so take it back and try it out first. If you like it, we'll give you a few more."

She waved her hand, and Chu Feng immediately brought out a silver-white sphere the size of a basketball and handed it to the Mermaid Emperor.

The Mermaid Emperor didn't quite understand. With a glance from Gu Xixi, Chu Feng hung the artificial sun on the 18-meter-high street lamp in the yard, then turned on the switch, and a "little sun" appeared.

It hangs high in the sky, emitting dazzling golden sunlight, and wherever the light reaches, it gives people a faint sense of warmth.

This was an experience the Shark King hadn't had in a long time; he stretched out his hand to partially cover his eyes.

He looked up at the sky, his expression one of fascination and contentment.

Gu Xixi didn't disturb him. She stepped back into the supermarket and pushed out a cart full of flowers. He only noticed the cart when it reached the Mermaid King, and his eyes immediately lit up with surprise.

"Flowers?" he murmured to himself, "And fragrance."

He smiled, a smile so beautiful it was breathtaking, that even Gu Xixi was stunned.

Why isn't this face on her face? Mother Nuwa, come out and say something.
