My supermarket is connected to all worlds, and I've won so much money handing it over to the st
Chapter 17 let slip, "What cancer?!"
So the two paintings cost 3000 million. She didn't dare to laugh, afraid that others would see that she was naive and unsophisticated.
There are four hairpins and hair ornaments in total, each worth 128 million. Subtracting the money given before, the four hairpins are worth 492 million. There are three bottles and jars, worth 600 million, 320 million and 280 million respectively.
The smallest jade bottle was the most expensive, which was something Gu Xixi hadn't expected. She was only at the stage of learning basic knowledge and didn't know how to appraise antiques, so she couldn't tell the difference.
最后算账出来,陈老需要支付3000+492+600+320+280=4692万。
These few items alone are worth over 40 million. Gu Xixi estimates that with the remaining inventory, it must be worth over 100 million, considering there are still 8 paintings left.
She steadied herself, though she felt a little dizzy.
After everyone waited for her to nod, they went to call people over to deliver the contract and arrange the transfer. Gu Xixi took out a Jiaguo Bank savings card number, which was specifically used to store Shen Qingyan's disaster relief funds, so that she could keep track of the accounts herself.
While they were busy, Old Xu's people arrived, along with the agreement, proof, and contract from Yishui. Gu Xixi read them and signed them.
So, Gu Xixi signed for money until her hands were sore all morning. A little over an hour later, the bank sent her a text message showing that all the funds had arrived in her account, totaling 5300 million yuan.
Gu Xixi: ?
Logically speaking, Mr. Chen paid 4692 million, and Mr. Xu paid 600 million for the five books, so the total should be 5292 million.
She looked over, and Old Chen smiled slightly, "Since it's our first meeting, I didn't bring any gifts. On the contrary, you've broadened our horizons. Consider the extra gifts as a red envelope from Grandpa Chen."
Such a huge red envelope!!
Gu Xixi couldn't help but laugh. This was all her money! She immediately changed her address to the sweetest one, "Thank you, Grandpa Chen!"
Gu Xixi grinned and couldn't stop laughing. If this were the stuff they got back from the real dynasty on Earth's timeline, it would be incredible.
Chen Yu also leaned in, revealing a fawning smile, "Dad, what about me? What about me?"
He deserves a reward; he has earned both credit and hard work.
Grandpa Chen, who had been smiling just moments before, turned his face away. After being chased and twisted several times by Chen Yu, he finally said helplessly, "This year, for the New Year's Eve dinner, you're allowed to sit above your brother, alright?"
Chen Yu chuckled contentedly.
Then he looked at Gu Xixi and said, "If you call my dad 'Grandpa,' then you should call me 'Uncle,' but I'm so young you probably wouldn't want to. So, you can call me 'Big Brother Uncle,' or 'Brother,' hahaha."
Call him old man, and you'll piss him off!
"Then, wouldn't you be a generation younger than your brother?" Gu Xixi wondered if he had something wrong with his head, and everyone laughed when she said that.
Old Chen was humiliated and slapped him on the backside. "Disgraceful! Go load the goods onto the truck."
Chen Yu then acted like a packing tool, packing each item and sending them to each person's car. Everyone looked at Gu Xixi with a newfound sense of respect.
Xu Yi and Old Master Xu took the items and the contract, and shook hands with Gu Xixi again solemnly. "Thank you for your contributions to the country and everyone. Gu, may I ask if I may ask, with so many precious treasures in your family, is there any tradition or saying from your ancestors?"
As soon as the question was asked, everyone looked at Gu Xixi.
Gu Xixi froze for a moment, then hummed in agreement. Thinking of her previous plan to rely on the country and with so many powerful figures in front of her... she was sure she could pull it off this time.
So she quickly closed the door and gestured for everyone to go back to the sofa and sit down. Everyone immediately became serious.
Gu Xixi spoke up, "Dear elders, please forgive me, but I've actually just awakened a system. You know what a system is, it's like the cheat code in novels..."
As she spoke, Xu Yi, helplessly, uttered the exact same lines beside her once again.
Gu Xixi: ...
Xu Yi: ...
other people:……
Everyone looked at Xu Yi again, who sighed and explained, "When I asked Gu last time, she already gave me a lie once..."
After hearing Xu Yi's explanation, everyone smiled helplessly.
“Young friend Gu, if you don’t want to talk about it, just say so. Well, your family lives a very secluded life in the city, so you probably don’t want others to know… It’s our fault, we shouldn’t have asked.”
"The fact that your family allows you, a child, to handle these things so freely is enough to prove that your family is wealthy... We were being presumptuous."
"Let's go, let's not bother you any longer, young friend Gu."
……
As the group talked, they quickly took their leave. Gu Xixi was stunned. These days, nobody believes you if you tell the truth, right? Ah!
She's about to break down. Just wait, they'll definitely believe her eventually.
She followed them downstairs with a dejected look on her face, watching a line of cars drive away from her doorstep, which attracted the attention of many neighbors.
When she turned around, Jiang Xi was skillfully operating the scale. Since there was no password for the cashier, she had everyone pay online. Her proficiency made it seem as if she had been working there for many years.
Looking around, she saw that the shelves had been stocked and replenished, and that she had even meticulously arranged every single vegetable, making it a pleasing sight to behold. She was truly pleased to see it.
Gu Xixi was somewhat satisfied, but she didn't know how strong the girl was.
She went to the backyard and was astonished to find it also spotless and tidy, arranged like a set of modeling blocks. As she walked back, she saw Jiang Xi effortlessly tossing two 50-pound bags of rice onto a customer's cart...
Gu Xixi was speechless. She walked up to Jiang Xi, whose eyes were filled with trepidation. "Um... I saw you were busy, so I helped you first... I don't want money..."
"You can start your probation period right away. I see you're very skilled. Do you have a place to stay now? If not, I'll help you rent a place nearby, and the cost will be deducted from your salary."
Jiang Xi burst into tears of joy, nodding repeatedly, unable to utter a word, only able to say thank you repeatedly, then adding a dry, "I worked part-time at a supermarket for a few summers when I was in school, so I'm skilled at it."
Gu Xixi understood. She remembered that her neighbor, Aunt Wang, had a house for rent on the street just ahead. The location and price were both good, and she could have privacy. "You keep an eye on it first, and I'll go find a house for you."
Moreover, Aunt Wang's greatest strength is that she is kind-hearted, guileless, and easy to get along with.
She also remembered that when she was a child, she would fall into the river and Aunt Wang would knock her unconscious and pull her out (when people first fall into the water, they will grab and move around wildly, and they are very strong, which can easily hold the rescuer underwater or hinder the rescue). When she was bullied, it was Aunt Wang who beat up those children for her...
Right, she couldn't go empty-handed, so she quickly went back to get rice, flour, oil, and fruit before heading over. Just as she reached the gate of Aunt Wang's yard and was about to call out, she heard someone come out from inside, muttering to themselves.
“Let’s still visit Xixi every week, help with cleaning and cooking. Her father has cancer and doesn’t have much time left, it’s a tough time for him, we should help him as much as we can. It’s not easy for her to run a supermarket alone…”
What...cancer?
