Putting away the phone, Liu Xiao was about to go back and listen to some more gossip, when the door of Manager Wu's office was suddenly pushed open.
Manager Wu bowed at the door with a flattering look on his face, waiting for a man who was obviously young but had gray hair to walk out.
This is the boss of their medicinal company, Zheng Sihai.
"Mr. Zheng!"
Seeing the boss coming out, all the employees who were whispering shut up and straightened their backs.
Mr. Zheng smiled and nodded to everyone as a greeting.
He looked very tired, as if he hadn't had a good night's sleep in a long time.
Liu Xiao clicked his tongue in his heart: "What's the good thing about being a boss? It sounds like a human being, but in fact it's not as good as us employees who talk nonsense and fish for fish."
Just when he thought of this, he suddenly remembered that he was also the boss of a start-up company in another world?
Fortunately, okay... none of his employees are like me, everyone is very hard-working...
Everyone watched the boss leave the company, and then gathered together again to gossip.
But before he could say a few words, Manager Wu came back in a hurry.
"Look, what are you looking at!? Are you all idle? The company only raises you to gossip? Let me tell you! From today on, everyone, regardless of their position, will sell medicine for me!"
"ah?"
Everyone was stunned by Manager Wu's words, but the latter stared and continued: "Ah what? Didn't I make it clear enough? As for the medicinal materials in the warehouse, by the end of the month I will count who has sold how much.
Then the one at the end of the queue will just pack up and get out!"
"boom!"
After yelling, Manager Wu slammed the door, leaving only the employees looking at each other.
"Everyone...is going to sell medicine? Me...should I go too?"
Uncle Feng, who was guarding the company's front door, looked embarrassed. He felt that he was the one who packed up his bed and left.
The employees all sensed that something was wrong with the company's atmosphere, and they all pretended to go out to sell medicine.
But Liu Xiao was very sure that no one here really expected to be able to sell medicinal materials, and most likely they were in a hurry to find a new employer to submit their resumes to.
Liu Xiao, who pretended that he was going out to sell medicine, took a ride to the largest agricultural tools wholesale market in Xiazhu City.
It's still early before the noon appointment time with Fatty, and there are many tools to be brought to the other world next time, so this problem must be solved as soon as possible.
His main purchase this time is construction tools and agricultural tools.
After building a house with the natives from another world, the next step is to solve the problem of food.
Now that the number of employees is increasing, we can’t always order takeout, right? That would be too luxurious.
Looking at the dazzling array of farm tools with similar shapes, Liu Xiao felt a little dizzy.
He took out the detailed list he downloaded and started scanning the market based on the pictures on the Internet.
"Buy some basic tools first... shovels, picks, saws, hammers, planes, axes... Well... then buy some grain seeds and try to see if they can be planted in another world."
Liu Xiao bought things as he walked. When he was about to go back, he realized that the tools he bought had been piled into a hill in the open space.
"It... looks like I have to buy another car..."
Fortunately, there was a shop selling agricultural vehicles next to the agricultural tools market. Liu Xiao directly swiped his card to withdraw a truck, and then drove the tools back to the company warehouse.
"Huh~ This much should be enough, right?"
Parking the new car and goods directly into the warehouse, Liu Xiao put on his backpack containing the rough stones, locked the door and stopped the car, and went straight to the "building outside the building" agreed with Fatty.
"Louwailou" is located on the busiest street in the center of Xiazhu.
This is a high-end restaurant with antique decoration and four floors.
Its first floor mainly sells various Cantonese breakfasts and snacks.
The second floor is a large banquet hall, which mainly provides customers with services such as reserved seats for parties.
On the third floor are exquisite small private rooms. Customers who like private gatherings usually choose this place.
As for the fourth floor, you must make a reservation in advance to enter.
This is a garden-style revolving restaurant on the top floor. All the dishes sold are Michelin-certified and quite high-end.
Today, Fatty booked the fourth floor.
"Brother Liu~~~This way~~!"
As soon as Liu Xiao stepped out of the elevator that led directly to the top floor, he heard the fat man's obscene voice calling him.
After hearing the sound, fat man Zhang Wei and his father Zhang Jianguo were sitting among a group of lush green plants and flowers.
The fat man and his father were born with a smiling face. He was short and chubby and looked very easy to get along with.
But Liu Xiao also knew that Zhang Jianguo was shrewd and discerning, and he was quite popular in Xiazhu City.
Maybe working with him is the best choice for Liu Xiao. There is no other choice.
"Hey~Hello Uncle Zhang~!"
Liu Xiao walked a few steps quickly and greeted him with a smile on his face.
No matter how casual he and Fatty are in private, now that there are elders around, they still need to restrain themselves.
"Sitting, sitting, sitting~~ Liu Xiao, I haven't seen you for a while. I didn't expect you to enter the jewelry circle? You were hidden deep enough before~ Unlike my Xiaowei, who has no government at all~!"
Zhang Jianguo greeted Liu Xiao and sat across from him, looking up and down with a look of admiration on his face.
"Hehehe~ Uncle Zhang was joking~ It was just a coincidence~ As for professional knowledge, don't I have to consult Zhang Wei~"
Zhang Jianguo laughed and said: "When I saw you before, I thought this kid was smart, could learn everything quickly, and would definitely be promising in the future! No, my guess came true~! Liu laughed...I heard Xiaowei say...
.You brought some rough stones today?”
Liu Xiao said nothing, but patted his backpack.
Zhang Jianguo immediately understood and asked the fat man to get up and close the door of the booth, and told the waiter not to disturb them for the time being.
Liu Xiao opened his backpack and moved the two rough stones he knocked out in the cave to the table.
"Hiss...it's true! And the window has been opened...Liu Xiao, was it you who wiped it?"
Liu Xiao shook his head and said: "No, how can I have that skill? These two rough stones are just like this."
Indeed, the reason why he chose these two pieces was because he could directly see the color of the gemstones inside through the gap.
Zhang Jianguo's expression gradually became serious, he took out an instrument from his pocket and put it on his eyes, and immediately began to observe the details.
His serious and focused look was exactly the same as that of Fatty.
No wonder it’s a father and son!
While Zhang Jianguo was inspecting the rough stones, the fat man came close to Liu Xiao, winked and said: "Your batch of rubies yesterday... my dad liked it very much when he saw it! He said that if your supply is stable, he will pay me.
Open a new jewelry store! When the time comes, we will make a perfect match~!"
Liu Xiao bumped the fat man with his elbow to make the latter calm down.
"You transferred the money to me so quickly...did the stone have already been sold?"
The fat man smiled mischievously and lowered his voice.
"To tell you the truth...my father advanced the money first~~I have rarely seen him so generous~"
"oh?"
Liu Xiao was quite surprised by the fat man's words.
At this moment, Zhang Jianguo raised his head and said with a long breath: "Oh~~~Liu Xiao, you really surprised me! From the current point of view, the quality of this material is very close to pigeon blood red! And only starting from this
When I looked at the cross-section of the window, I didn’t see any cracks!”
Zhang Jianguo rubbed his eyes and carefully wrapped the rough stone in cloth.
"You must know that there is an old saying in our industry, called 'Ten treasures and nine cracks'. The rubies mined will have flaws, cracks, etc... But rubies as clean as this one... are really rare!
"
"Pigeon blood red? Or crack-free?"
The fat man's eyes lit up when he heard this term.
"Brother Liu~~! Get rich, get rich!"
"Calm down --- why are you making such a fuss? How can you be so happy for such a small thing? I just said that you don't have a city, so why don't you learn more from Liu Xiao? Really..."
Zhang Jianguo glared at his son, then smiled at Liu and said, "My dear nephew, I wonder what you are going to do with these two rough stones...?"
