Old Chen: [Those white pearls are not to be underestimated either. They're obviously natural, large, and round. What's rare is that so many are almost the same size. They deserve 300 million Polish dollars. The main thing is that if you combine these two items, it'll be worth more than 800 million Polish dollars.]

After all, when two treasures are combined into one, the effect is 1+1>1.

Old Man Never Dies: [Your valuation is really conservative, Old Man Chen. Doesn't your eldest son own an auction house? This thing would definitely be the grand finale at auction, and with that as a selling point, business is sure to be booming.]

Chen Yu peered at the screen, then pouted. He posted the photo, but why did nobody remember him?

But he still forwarded the chat history to his older brother, and less than a minute later, Chen Mo replied: "[Let's arrange a dinner to introduce us. 200 million in pocket money.]"

Has the miserly guy finally plucked his feathers?!

Chen Yu replied instantly: [Received, awaiting good news.]

However, he hadn't paid attention to the messages in the group for more than a minute when there were already 99+ messages and he was being tagged repeatedly. What was going on?

He immediately scrolled up and saw a key piece of information.

Plant Nerve Science (Old Xu): [Where did these three herbs come from? These are herbs that went extinct hundreds of years ago! I've only ever seen them in ancient books. Gu Xixi, really, how many more surprises are you going to give us? Old Chen, Old Wang, shall we go?]

Before others had even finished reading, the three people who knew Gu Xixi were already making plans to set off.

Others in the group quickly echoed this sentiment.

[Chen Yu, why don't you go pick him up and we can go to your place? It'll be more convenient that way. You know someone so talented, why don't you introduce him to everyone? We can all get to know each other better tonight since we're all having dinner together.]

Yes, yes, we'd like to see it too. What if they have something we want someday?

[Young Chen, you've really made something of yourself now.]

……

The compliments kept coming, and Chen Yu was completely delighted, a wide smile spreading across his face: "Okay, I'll ask them out right away."

He immediately called Gu Xixi. When Gu Xixi answered, Zhao Jing had already gone to the kitchen to help make lunch. Chen Yu's fawning voice came through the earpiece.

"Little sister Xixi, all your things are of high quality, especially your pearls and herbs. So many people want to meet you, so we'd like to invite you to our house for dinner tonight. Would you do us the honor?"

He spoke in a strained voice, which made Gu Xixi feel uncomfortable.

Gu Xixi thought about it carefully. Among the people that Elder Chen knew were Professor Wang and Elder Xu, the others must also be extraordinary people.

This is a great opportunity for her to expand her network. She can auction off any goods directly in the group and visit each person individually. She really doesn't have enough time; the top leader is coming tomorrow morning.

It's better to solve it all at once.

“Okay, I’ll go, I’ll go. You’re my good brother, how can I not go when you invite me? What time? I’ll get ready.” Gu Xixi gave Chen Yu plenty of face, then glanced at Zhao Jing and added.

"However, I might need to bring a friend."

Chen Yu's tone became even more cheerful, "Whatever, you can bring three friends. I'll pick you up at seven in the afternoon and take you home at ten at night."

The two happily agreed and then hung up the phone.

Chen Yu went to report to the others, while Gu Xixi packed everything into the empty box that Chen Yu had brought earlier, the one that hadn't been used up.

Then she used her largest suitcase to pack the boxes, closed it, and put the suitcase aside.

With such layers of protection, there shouldn't be any more complaints, right?

After finishing these tasks, she went to the kitchen to help with the cooking and also told Zhao Jing about dinner arrangements, asking if she needed to accompany her depending on the bureau's plans.

She also sent Uncle Wang a new request for supplies, twice the amount of the previous ones, because it needed to be prepared in advance, and she was only now saying that there wasn't enough time to prepare so many today.

Therefore, the quantity delivered this evening can only be the same as the previously agreed quantity.

She also notified the herbal medicine shop, and ordered 30 more water storage barrels, so that 20 tons of water could be delivered in rotation each time.

This yard is getting smaller and smaller; it's not big enough anymore.

After lunch, Gu Xixi told Jiang Xi to go home and rest for an hour while she minds the shop. Xu Yi also returned. "The person that couple is looking for is Jiang Xi. Zhao Jing explained Jiang Xi's situation to me clearly; she didn't lie."

After finishing his main point, he grabbed a bottle of Red Bull, took a few sips, and paid before continuing.

“I’ve registered them. I just came here to ask Jiang Xi. Her parents were only persuaded by you to file a police report at the last minute, so they probably don’t really believe that we’re asking them to find someone. So Jiang Xi can rest assured.”

In this day and age, he had only ever seen parents like this in the news. He almost couldn't help but laugh out loud at their pretentious displays of "love."

"Thank you, thank you. Just take it and drink it. There's no need to pay." Gu Xixi handed him another bottle. "Zhao Jing is in the backyard."

Just as Xu Yi was about to go find Zhao Jing, a middle-aged man who looked like a migrant worker spoke up at the door, "Hello, are you the boss? I heard you're hiring here. Are you still hiring?"

Xu Yi was now dressed in casual clothes, so the question was directed at Xu Yi.

Xu Yi pointed to Gu Xixi behind the cashier, "Uncle, you've got it wrong, this is the boss."

Gu Xixi came out, and the old man wasn't surprised, but his eyes were full of envy. "You're so young and you already own such a big supermarket. That's great. Here's my resume. Take a look, young boss."

Gu Xixi didn't explain anything, but just took it and looked at it. She was only 44 years old, but looked like she was 54. Her body was covered with the marks of the hardships of the years.

I used to be a chef specializing in local Sichuan cuisine for ten years, a delivery driver for five years, a construction worker for five years, and then there was a three-year gap between my current job and now...

It met her requirements. Xu Yi happened to be there too. She showed him her ID and asked to see it. After observing him carefully, she nodded to Gu Xixi.

Gu Xixi interviewed him with confidence, and went through the process again. The only thing missing was the physical strength test.

Uncle Wang personally drove the large truck past the supermarket entrance and shouted through the window, "Gu Xixi, unload the goods."

"Boss, let me do it. You rest. It's a good opportunity to test my strength." The uncle immediately ran after Uncle Wang's car, chasing it around for a while until he reached the back gate of the supermarket's backyard. Gu Xixi wanted to tell him that he could wait in the backyard directly from inside the supermarket, but she didn't have time to.

After Jiang Xi finished resting, she came down and stood guard in front, while Gu Xixi went to the back to receive the goods. Uncle Wang opened the back door of the truck, and the old man began to unload and stack the goods. He was efficient and his strength was about the same as Jiang Xi's. He was indeed a skilled worker.

While helping unload the goods, Uncle Wang asked, "Gu Xixi, I came here today specifically to see you. Your business has been booming ever since you came back. I wanted to see what's going on."

He promised to help look after the child, so he came to check on him in person to put his mind at ease.

Gu Xixi used the same excuse as before, and with Xu Yi's support, Uncle Wang didn't suspect anything. After unloading the goods, he drove away in the truck.

The old man looked at Gu Xixi expectantly. Gu Xixi smiled slightly, "You've passed the test. The contract will be signed tomorrow along with that of another employee, Jiang Xi. It's a three-month probation period. However, I only provide one lunch, not accommodation. Do you have a place to stay?"

"Don't worry, I'll be here on time every day." The old man grinned, and his eyes suddenly filled with light.

Gu Xixi added his green bubble, sent him the work hours and precautions, and also sent him a 200 yuan red envelope. The uncle didn't leave and started working right away.

Jiang Xi managed him quite well.

Chen Yu arrived early to pick her up, his face beaming with joy. He carried her suitcase and shoved her, Xu Yi, and Zhao Jing into his car. It was his first time being a driver, and he was as happy as a child.

"Gu Xixi, I have a request, hehe, you must seriously consider it."
