Everyone's all smiles on the surface but secretly cunning, but the junior sister only wants to

Jiang Shiliu didn't linger there, but she heard every word Xiao An said clearly, especially the sentence: "By the way, some people have complained that the clock-in system isn't working well. We've decided to make changes. From now on, there will be no need to clock in anymore. Instead, we'll implement a flexible work system. You just need to ensure that you have four hours of work time each day."

Hearing these words, Jiang Shiliu felt a pang of bitterness in her heart. She even began to suspect that Jiang Moqi had deliberately arranged for her to come here so that she could hear these generous benefits firsthand. Hmph, so what? Hard work can't compare to the thrill of getting rich overnight!

Just as Jiang Shiliu was about to bypass them and head straight to the reception room to wait for Jiang Moqi, a strange feeling suddenly welled up in her heart. It was as if a powerful force was enveloping her behind, causing her to involuntarily stop in her tracks. Slowly turning her head, sure enough, a huge figure appeared behind her—it was Jiang Moqi.

Jiang Moqi was about half a meter away from her, yet their postures were identical. This close contact instantly made Jiang Shiliu feel an intense sense of oppression wash over her. This oppression was like a heavy mountain, making it almost impossible for her to breathe. At that moment, Jiang Shiliu only wanted to immediately move aside to escape this suffocating atmosphere.

Jiang Moqi keenly sensed Jiang Shiliu's unease. He frowned slightly, silently pondering how to ease the situation. He took a deep breath, suppressing his immense divine aura to its lowest point, appearing as if he were an ordinary person. Then, he subtly retreated, maintaining a distance of about two meters from Jiang Shiliu.

"Little Shiliu, are you listening to their meeting? How about it? Interested in working at our Qiankun Pavilion?" Jiang Moqi asked with a smile, half-jokingly.

Jiang Shiliu refused without hesitation: "That's not necessary. After all, I personally refined this Bone-Growing and Blood-Melting Pill. In addition, I have a cooperation with you, so spirit stones and such things are not scarce for me at the moment."

"That's a real shame. I thought I could recruit someone as talented as you! You're here to find out about the profits, aren't you? Please come with me; it's not convenient to talk here."

Jiang Shiliu nodded slightly and followed closely behind Jiang Moqi into a small reception room. The room looked quite simple, without any of the extravagant or luxurious furniture or items found elsewhere.

"These are your earnings for the past month. Take a close look and see if there's anything wrong. Do you plan to keep these spirit stones directly, or do you want to open an account under the Qiankun Pavilion using your own soul and deposit them there?" Jiang Moqi handed Jiang Shiliu a yellowed, parchment-like bill and began to speak.

Jiang Shiliu stared wide-eyed at the long bill in front of her, incredulously exclaiming in her heart, "Good heavens! This is like a pie falling from the sky!" She carefully counted the number of top-grade spirit stones following the string of numbers—nearly ten thousand! This sudden wealth made her feel as if she were floating on clouds, never having to worry about making a living again, and able to fully enjoy all the wonderful things in life.

Jiang Shiliu had become a veritable little rich woman, her heart filled with joy and surprise. She suddenly raised her head, her gaze fixed on Jiang Moqi sitting opposite her, and asked eagerly, "Jiang Moqi, how did you do that?! I just roughly calculated that the pills and magic treasures I gave you, even at the highest price, were worth at most five thousand top-grade spirit stones. But now, after deducting thirty percent, I still managed to get so much! Tell me the secret!"

Jiang Moqi calmly picked up his teacup, gently blew away the floating tea leaves, took a small sip of hot tea, and then replied with an air of nonchalance, "Actually, the method is quite simple. Our dazzling fireworks magic weapon is priced at only one top-grade spirit stone each, but we're implementing a limited supply strategy. As for the pills, they're sold at the normal price of one top-grade spirit stone each. We didn't expect such a strong market response; even at these prices, demand still exceeds supply. Judging from the current sales, the quantity you refined before is probably far from enough to meet demand. You'd better hurry and restock!" With that, he smiled and put down his teacup, a hint of smugness in his eyes.

Jiang Shiliu stared wide-eyed at Jiang Moqi, her face filled with disbelief. Her heart was churning with a storm of emotions, unable to calm down for a long time. In her mind, she silently and furiously criticized the seemingly shrewd Jiang Moqi before her: "My god! This is simply absurd and outrageous! Trading a top-grade spirit stone for a tiny firework! Even if gunpowder is extremely precious in this world, this kind of business is just too outrageous! He truly is a complete and utter businessman!"

The saying "no merchant is without guile" is absolutely true! But thinking about it carefully... all this money will eventually end up in my own pocket, so it doesn't seem like a big deal! After all, rich people like this wouldn't care about such a small amount of money! Hehehe~”

After calming herself down a bit, Jiang Shiliu cleared her throat and looked at Jiang Moqi with curiosity, asking, "Um... Jiang Moqi, you just asked me if I would like to work for you. What exactly do you plan for me to do? Also, what are my salary and benefits like? Could you please tell me in detail?"

Hearing Jiang Shiliu's question, Jiang Moqi smiled slightly and replied confidently, "Of course, no problem! If you're willing to join us as a top-tier alchemist, your compensation will be very generous—50,000 high-grade spirit stones per month! Furthermore, you only need to provide me with a certain quantity and quality of pills for sale, as required. As for any surplus pills, you can confidently entrust them to me for processing and sale. How about that? Doesn't it sound tempting?"

"What?! Fifty thousand?! My God, is it too late for me to back out? There's so much money! And, do alchemists need to take a certification exam? Where can I take the exam? I have to go get one right away!" Jiang Shiliu stared wide-eyed at the person in front of her, her face full of disbelief. Her cherry-like mouth was agape, as if it could fit an egg.

Seeing her surprised expression, Jiang Moqi's lips curled up slightly, and his smile deepened: "There's an examination center right here in our town! It's a testing ground specially organized and set up by our Qiankun Pavilion to test the abilities of alchemists. With your alchemy skills, if you take the exam, obtaining the title of top-grade alchemist will definitely be a piece of cake!"

Hearing this, Jiang Shiliu immediately perked up, put her hands on her hips, and said confidently, "Okay! I'll go take the exam for a certificate right now! But let me make this clear first, absolutely no backdoors allowed! Humph, I'm extremely confident in my abilities!"

Jiang Moqi quickly nodded and replied, "Don't worry, I've always kept my personal and professional life separate, and I would never do such a thing. Besides, these assessments aren't managed by me, but by the top alchemists in the entire cultivation continent. I'm just providing the necessary materials and venues."
