It was already past three in the morning when we packed up the goods and prepared them for shipment to another world.
Liu Xiao lay tiredly on the sofa, thinking about a promising future, and then fell asleep.
After only four hours of sleep, Liu Xiao was woken up by the sound of the alarm clock.
He rubbed his eyes and looked at the goods stacked in the warehouse, and it took him a while to wake up.
"Oops! There's a regular meeting in the morning!"
Liu Xiaolian ran out of the warehouse without washing or brushing his teeth and came to the company's office area facing the street.
At this moment, the manager wearing gold-rimmed glasses was about to take roll call when Liu Xiao stepped on the call and ran in.
"Hey hey hey~~Sorry sorry~"
The manager's surname is Wu. He is in his thirties and has an ordinary appearance, but he is very capable of photographing the leader's horses.
In fact, he hasn't been in the job for as long as Liu Xiao, but he has already reached the middle level by relying on his superb flattery skills.
At this time, when he saw Liu Xiao running to the meeting wearing flip-flops, his face turned gloomy on the spot.
"Liu Xiao, don't do whatever you want just because you are an old employee and don't take the company's rules and regulations seriously! Just because you are an old employee, you have to set a good example! Why did you come to the meeting wearing slippers?"
Liu Xiao only noticed after being reminded by him, and said embarrassedly: "Haha~ I'm really sorry, I worked overtime last night in the warehouse to take inventory, and I went to bed late~~"
Manager Wu seemed to remember that he asked Liu Xiao to work overtime yesterday, and then he coughed and said: "Ahem...there is no need to rush to take inventory of those stocks...Some situations have arisen in the contract, and this business has been postponed indefinitely.
..”
"Ah? Delay? But if this batch of medicinal materials is not processed in time, it will easily expire..."
Liu Xiao seemed to realize something at the end, because the manager looked at him with eyes that could spit out flames.
Shutting his mouth, Liu Xiao buried his head, waiting for the regular meeting to officially begin.
Manager Wu withdrew his murderous look and started today's regular meeting.
Okay, okay, manager Wu talked for nearly three hours, making the whole room of employees feel sleepy.
"Okay, that's it for today's meeting. Do you understand what you are supposed to do?"
"I understand~"
Everyone replied feebly and then dispersed.
However, although Manager Wu talked a lot, the content of this morning's meeting made Liu Xiao think that something was wrong.
First of all, the delivery of a batch of medicinal materials previously stocked by the company was supposed to have been delivered long ago, but it was postponed indefinitely.
What’s more, there was just a meeting, and Manager Wu actually asked the company’s finance staff to start looking for connections to sell medicinal materials.
Liu Xiao had reason to suspect that the big order this time was probably a scam!
If the medicinal materials in the warehouse are not released in time, it is hard to say whether their company's capital chain will be strong.
But Liu Xiao was not worried.
Can’t sell? Is it obsolete?
Yellow is good~!
Wouldn't this be an advantage for him?
Wouldn't it be more cost-effective to sell those medicinal materials to another world than selling them to pharmaceutical companies?
It seems that I have to seize the time to gather the company's wool!
Just after lunch, Liu Xiao's cell phone rang.
I picked it up and saw it belonged to Fatty.
Unexpectedly, this guy usually sleeps until the afternoon before getting up. He got up so early today?
"Hey~ you're here? I'll open the door for you~!"
Liu Xiao, who had already regarded the warehouse as his home, had just opened the rolling shutter door halfway when he saw a fat but extremely agile figure getting in.
"Quick, quick! Take out the ruby you showed me last night! Let me get my hands on it~!"
The fat man Zhang Wei was probably walking in a hurry. His head was covered with sweat and he looked a little weak.
Liu Xiao chuckled and said calmly: "What's the rush? Sit down and take a breath, I'll get you a drink."
The fat man sat on the messy sofa, waved his hand and said: "Don't drink anymore, Brother Liu~ Stop showing off, take it out and let me see it! I've already boasted in front of my dad, I can't let him
He underestimated his brother!"
Liu Xiao rolled his eyes and said, "You just can't keep your composure! You haven't even written your horoscope yet, why are you so anxious to tell your dad? Aren't you afraid that I'm joking with you?"
Although Liu Xiao said this, his hands did not stop. He opened the locked drawer and took out a wooden box from inside.
"Oh! I had a fight with my dad this morning! He said I was lazy and not doing my job properly, and even asked me to manage a store! You know, what did I do? Manage the store? Then wouldn't I lose my freedom?
Already!?”
The fat man said with an angry look on his face, and continued: "So I was so anxious that I told about this ruby... I said that even if I had to work, I would start my own business... No
I will go to work in my family’s shop...so Brother Liu, it’s up to you whether the cowhide can be rounded this time!”
Liu Xiao pointed at the fat man, pretending to be mysterious and patted the wooden box in his hand.
"Don't worry, look at this."
As he spoke, he opened the wooden box, revealing the small stones inside that shone with red light.
"Wow...really!? Where did you get it from?"
Liu Xiao raised a finger and said: "Business secrets~ It's not convenient to talk about it at the moment~!"
Seeing that he didn't say anything or write anything, the fat man took out a small instrument from his pocket and put it on his left eye, then picked up a stone and observed it carefully.
Liu Xiao just sat and watched quietly without making a sound.
He knew that Fatty was lazy, but there was no doubt about his professional abilities related to gem identification.
In any case, it is a family business. I have been exposed to relevant education since I was a child, and I have long developed a pair of "fiery eyes".
After a while, the fat man made a "tsk tsk" sound.
"Tsk tsk tsk...what a pity...what a pity!"
As he spoke, he took off the instruments on his eyes and said with a rare serious face: "Brother Liu, what happened to these gems before? Why are there so many scratches on the surface?"
Liu Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then tried to answer: "Before...probably...it was used as...flint?"
"What!?"
The fat man stood up in a hurry and stared at Liu Xiao with incredulous eyes.
"Such a precious treasure is used as a flint? Brother Liu, are you serious!?"
"Haha... The locals don't realize the value of these treasures, they are just using them as flints. But it doesn't matter. I have opened up this trade route and can purchase goods in large quantities! How about it? We brothers
If two people work together, they can earn 50% of the money!"
The fat man breathed a heartbroken sigh at the ruby, wiped it with his clothes and said, "What a waste of natural resources... What a waste of natural resources! But this business... we have to win it! Even for these pitiful stones.
They must be taken down! They should appear on the snow-white necks or fingers of those noble ladies, instead of being used as flints! What a sin!"
The fat man looked indignant and quickly held the box of rubies in his arms and caressed it.
With the addition of Fatty, Liu Xiao finally felt relieved.
"Hey, Fatty, you haven't said how much these stones are worth yet?"
The fat man glanced at Liu Xiao and said in a deep voice: "Although the scratches are a little serious and the value is slightly discounted... But according to my estimation, this box of rubies can be made into many finished products after being processed and polished by professionals...
..Their value per carat is about 20,000...You have 500 carats here, that’s 10 million!”
"Ten million!?"
Liu Xiao suppressed the excitement in his heart, knowing that the price given by the fat man should not be too different.
"Then how much can I share?" he added hurriedly.
This time the fat man held out four fingers: "Leave all the sales and processing to me, and you will get four million in the end! How about brother Liu~ Brother is nice to you~! But let's talk about the front, the amount of follow-up
We must keep up, and we must never use it as a flint again!"
"Okay, okay! That's natural! Hahaha~"
Liu Xiao directly asked Fatty to take the box of rubies back to be processed and sold, while he himself made final preparations for the night time travel.
Finally, Liu Xiao, who had been catching fish all afternoon, had a happy time to get off work.
He ate something hastily and locked himself in the warehouse.
Carrying a backpack and pulling a flatbed full of items, Liu Xiao pushed open the double door with intricate carvings.
Stepping in, the cold aura instantly surrounded him!
"Hey...it's dark...why did it suddenly become so cold?"
He rubbed his arms indifferently, took out his flashlight and planned to take the things back to Lizard Man Abu's house.
But the moment he turned on the flashlight, he saw not far in front of him, standing a black... wolf with a face covered with tentacles and eyes!?
