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

Gu Xixi turned around and saw Old Chen coming out of the kitchen. He had brewed a pot of health tea and was walking towards her with a smile.

Gu Xixi felt a chill run down her spine. What was she trying to do, laughing like that?!

She smiled and quickly went to take the work, saying, "Old Chen, why are you still working now that you're here? Let me do it, I can manage."

Instead of handing it to her, Old Chen led her to sit down on the sofa next to him.

"Young friend Gu, please sit down. I'm the most skilled at brewing tea, so I'll do it myself. You can try it first." Old Chen's smile became even more shrewd, but with a touch of cuteness.

His attention was entirely focused on Gu Xixi, so he didn't notice Xu Yue at the corner of the stairs.

Xu Yue didn't disturb Gu Xixi's entertaining of guests. After exchanging glances with Gu Xixi, she went upstairs directly.

Gu Xixi took the teacup and drank, feeling very uneasy. She took a sip and then put it down. "Old Chen, we're old acquaintances. Just say what's on your mind. This is making me quite scared."

Old Chen chuckled again, "Then I'll get straight to the point. The first thing is that you promised to sell us those two century-old ginseng roots. I wonder what your price range is..."

"You can give 2000 million per stick too," Gu Xixi chuckled. So that's what it was about.

Old Chen immediately objected, "How can that be? Old Xu and the others are offering wholesale prices, and their ginseng isn't as old as mine. What we want is a thousand-year-old ginseng, which is priceless and hard to find. You can rest assured, the Chen family is not short of money."

He's already doing well to get it the fastest; how could he let a younger generation suffer a price disadvantage?

"How about this, you'll give me a discount, but sell it to me for 4000 million per stick." Old Chen set the price himself, and Gu Xixi nodded. "Okay, so what's the second thing?"

Old Chen gave another wicked smile and pointed upstairs, "The people at the research institute have seen the gift Lord Shen gave you, but I haven't seen it yet. Can I have a look?"

Gu Xixi: ...

You came all this way just for this?

She gestured for him to go, and Mr. Chen immediately went upstairs, excitedly instructing, "I'll have someone arrange to transfer the money to you right away."

After he finished speaking, he disappeared.

Gu Xixi was exhausted after a morning of shopping spree. She leaned back on the sofa and sighed. Her account balance of over 10 million yuan was now less than 60 million yuan. The money she had just spent had been replenished by Old Chen.

Money really does make money; there's no end to it.

She rested, drinking the tea brewed by Old Chen, and it tasted quite good.

Upstairs, in Gu Xixi's study.

Chen Yu was changing Gu Xixi's bedding when Old Chen came in and saw it. He gave her a thumbs up and said, "Not bad, not bad, you finally look presentable now."

Before, all he knew was how to squander money, but now he's learned a lot and is more meticulous in his work. Even if he can't find a wife in the future, he can still get married.

"Why are you here? This is my boss's study. Studies are supposed to be private." Chen Yu said smugly, while also trying to kick Old Master Chen out.

Mr. Chen: ...

Enraged, he immediately slapped Chen Yu on the shoulder, saying, "Who do you think I am? I only came in with the permission of the room owner. Get out of my way and don't stop me from admiring the treasure."

Old Chen took out a pair of gloves and a magnifying glass from his pocket and began to wander around the study.

Chen Yu stood beside him, watching him intently, as if afraid his old father would steal something. When Old Chen saw this, he kicked him a few more times before he felt relieved.

Well, the son no longer belongs to the country; he's now Gu Xixi's lackey.

Old Chen looked at the painting intently, and Chen Yu followed suit. When they saw the third painting on the wall, Old Chen exclaimed in surprise, and Chen Yu immediately leaned forward to follow his gaze.

He saw a line of poetry inscribed in the lower right corner of the painting and read it aloud: "Only because of one glance from you."

“It makes me think of you day and night!” Old Chen continued, and then the father and son widened their eyes in surprise and said in unison, “Could it be a secret crush?”

Shen Qingyan has a crush on Gu Xixi!

This is the meaning of the poem, and the portrait depicts Gu Xixi. In that world, apart from Shen Qingyan, no one else had ever seen Gu Xixi. Even if they had, it was rare for a scholar to have such talent... and even more so for someone with such skill in painting...

Therefore, this could only have been painted by Shen Qingyan, paired with this poem...

"Does Gu Xixi know?" Old Chen asked Chen Yu.

Chen Yu shook his head. "She probably doesn't know. She's pretty carefree, just happily doing business." He guessed she hadn't quite grasped the concept yet. "Should we tell her?"

Chen Yu asked again, "Old Chen is also confused. How should he make a decision?"

"By the way, judging from the overall appearance of these things, I deduce that they all belong to Shen Qingyan. If those jewelry and ornaments were also given to him under the guise of being commoners..."

So he definitely had a crush on her.

It's not surprising, after all, Gu Xixi is a lovely girl, but he is from ancient times, so there is no possibility of anything happening between them.

But Gu Xixi has the right to know, so Old Chen paced anxiously in circles. "How about this, you find an opportunity to tell Gu Xixi this line of poetry. You don't need to say anything else; that will also tell her."

"If she's love-struck, you can seduce her. Even if you're unreliable, you're still that Peony, and with us here, you can't hurt her."

Old Chen gave another instruction, and Chen Yu broke through his defenses.

With so many rumored girlfriends, how did his dad even know about Peony?! And he even asked him to seduce Gu Xixi!

What do you take him for!

But Old Chen went on to admire other things.

Chen Yu went downstairs and saw Gu Xixi dozing off, so he simply kept quiet. Since Shen Qingyan didn't say anything, he wouldn't either. It was better for Gu Xixi to be carefree.

Besides, Gu Xixi didn't say he liked Shen Qingyan, so it seems unnecessary for him to say anything.

Well, Chen Yu made up his mind, so he simply picked up Gu Xixi, carried her to the room, put her on the bed, covered her with a blanket, and then went to the study next door to find Old Master Chen.

……

Gu Xixi woke up from a nap and found Old Chen sitting in her study reading the books that Shen Qingyan had sent. She went in and was surprised.

"Old Chen, you can understand the language of that world."

"It's barely acceptable, just a guess," Old Chen said matter-of-factly.

These characters are similar to some ancient scripts on Earth, but not exactly the same, so you have to guess at them.

Gu Xixi: ...

Even though I don't understand it, I read it so attentively and didn't fall asleep. That's impressive.

She lost interest and went downstairs to eat, then began her afternoon study session. In the evening, Xu Yue was taken away by Old Master Xu to help out, while she continued her training through the courses she had purchased from the system.

Xu Yue returned home late at night. Both of them were exhausted, so they went to bed early.

The next morning, the two went to work with practiced ease, and were waiting in the supermarket's backyard at 6:30.

Seeing the top of the wall, Gu Xixi remembered the person who climbed it yesterday and turned to ask, "Chu Feng, who was that person yesterday?"

"He was a tomb raider who thought we were real archaeologists. He thought we had miscalculated the location and dug a tunnel in to see whose tomb this was."
