Chapter 29

Ten minutes after Meng Lianying and Lu Ya ended their conversation, Gu Fan received a call from the Drug Administration, informing her that the bureau had reconsidered her case and finally decided to grant her the qualification to practice. The certificate was ready and Gu Fan could go and collect it at any time.

Gu Fan was shocked by Lu Ya's speed!

The five people from Xinghe were not too surprised to hear the news. The base has a government that manages the affairs of the base, but the four families of Lu, Li, He, and Wang who control the army of superpowers are the ones who really have the final say, especially the Lu family. Because there are two S-level powerhouses, unless the interests of the other families are seriously threatened, who would offend Lu Ya for such a small matter?

In the end times, the legal system applies to ordinary people, and those with special abilities still rely on strength to decide between them. At most, they only abide by public order on the surface.

Fenghuo and Meng Lianying accompanied Gu Fan to get the certificate.

This time, the staff of the Drug Administration were much more polite to Gu Fan, and they also found a very appropriate explanation for the unexpected change. Their smiles and words were very refreshing.

Gu Fan saw through it but didn't say anything, she just wanted to get the certificate. After all, it was the Sheng family who was playing with power, and it had nothing to do with the staff of the Drug Administration, so she didn't need to make things difficult for them.

After obtaining the professional qualification, Gu Fan went on to apply for a business license and health permit. Perhaps because the Sheng family had not informed both parties, or because Lu Ya's influence was still there, things went very smoothly.

After returning to his villa at night, Gu Fan contacted Lu Ya and the call went through immediately.

Gu Fan said sincerely: "Thank you for what happened today. I owe you another favor, which makes it two times in total."

Lu Ya: "Lian Ying contacted me for you, do you owe him a favor?"

Gu Fan was stunned.

Lu Ya took the initiative to end the call.

Gu Fan looked at the communication bracelet and frowned. What did Lu Ya mean by that?

Implying that she regards Meng Lianying as a friend and only sees him as an acquaintance?

This is indeed the case, but who can be blamed? It was the Galaxy Team who first treated her as a partner, and Lu Ya just used her more.

——

All the procedures for opening a store have been prepared. The only thing left is to recruit two reliable clerks, one to collect money and the other to dispense medicine.

There are still five days before the opening date. Xinghe asked her to continue refining medicine and preparing inventory. They were responsible for the preliminary recruitment and would finally let Gu Fan interview.

Gu Fan concentrated on refining the elixir.

On September 8th, the Galaxy team accompanied Gu Fan to the pharmacy for the final selection.

There are twenty people in total, most of them are C-level psychics, there is also one A-level psychic, and two B-level ones.

Gu Fan was naturally very interested in that A-level mutant.

Xinghe explained, "His name is Zou Shan, an A-level Earth and Fire dual-element psychic. He once served in the Lu family army but retired after being injured. Zou Shan is the only A-level psychic who came to apply for the selection. I think his help can prevent those with ulterior motives from causing trouble and serve as a deterrent."

Gu Fan whispered, "An old member of the Lu family army?"

Xinghe smiled: "The three major pharmaceutical companies have already set their sights on you. Since you have already worked for the Lu family army, why not tie this relationship even tighter, making it seem like it's true but not true, and making it so that others won't act rashly."

The galaxy at this moment looked like a jade-faced fox.

Gu Fan nodded. What she cared more about was why Zou Shan came to a small place like hers. Although Zou Shan's legs were disabled, with his level of supernatural powers, it would not be difficult for him to find a bodyguard job in a big company.

Respecting the strong, Gu Fan first interviewed Zou Shan and raised this question directly.

Zou Shan is fifty years old and is sitting in a wheelchair. His daughter Zou Yuanyuan, a twenty-year-old C-level psychic, is pushing him next to him.

Zou Shan is a burly man with a resolute face, while Zou Yuanyuan has fair skin and a pretty face. It seems that they inherited genes from their mother's side.

Zou Shan glanced at his daughter and explained, "I've earned enough merit points in the army. It doesn't matter whether I find a job or not. I came here to apply because of Yuanyuan's mother. Yuanyuan's mother was also a soldier. During a clearing war, she was burned by a fire monster. She survived, but more than half of her body was left with scars. Since then, she has been hiding in her room every day, and she doesn't even want to see us. I thought, if your medicine can make her as good as before, I can help you for free."

Zou Yuanyuan said, "Me too. As long as you can cure my mother, my father and I will run the store for you."

Gu Fan's heart moved, and he asked Zou Shan: "How many wives do you have?"

Zou Shan frowned and said, "I believe in monogamy. I only have one mother, Yuanyuan."

Gu Fan felt that in such an environment as the end of the world, Zou Shan, an A-level strongman, could actually be so devoted to his wife, so his character in other aspects should not be too bad either.

"When I cure Yuanyuan's mother, will you find the job of running the store too boring and quit?"

Zou Shan smiled and said, "I, Zou Shan, always keep my word. You don't have to worry about this. What's more, we can still sign a contract."

Gu Fan asked Zou Yuanyuan again: "Don't you think this kind of work is boring?"

How many young people can endure loneliness?

Zou Yuanyuan glanced at the beautiful Phoenix Mountain behind the pharmacy and smiled, "No, I just like places like this. If you really hire us, our whole family will move to Phoenix Mountain to live."

Gu Fan was very satisfied with the father and daughter, and directly let the other applicants leave. Those applicants admired Zou Shan's strength and were convinced.

Gu Fan handed Zou Shan a bottle of scar-removing pill and said, "Take this back and give it to your wife first. If her scars are healed, you and your daughter can come to work directly on the 10th."

Zou Shan looked at the inconspicuous bottle of medicine, his eyes filled with anticipation.

In the afternoon, the three members of the Zou family came to Fenghuang Mountain to visit Gu Fan.

Gu Fan asked the security guard to let them in and hosted the three people in his villa.

Mrs. Zou's name was Xu Yun. She was also forty-five years old this year. She was a Class B fire-type psychic and had also worked for the Lu Family Army before retiring. Psychics lived longer than ordinary people and looked much younger than their peers. At this time, Xu Yun had a fair complexion and a cool temperament. She wasn't a top-tier beauty, but she had a unique aura.

She extended her hand towards Gu Fan and said solemnly, "The elixir has a price, but Miss Gu's kindness to me is priceless. If Miss Gu needs any help from me in the future, please feel free to tell me."

Gu Fan smiled and said, "You're welcome. I wonder what your plans are next?"

Xu Yun said, "I have already contacted the military and will resume my service in the Lu Family Army starting tomorrow."

Gu Fan thought, okay, her relationship with Lu Jiajun is more than just a lingering connection, it is simply intricately connected.

In addition to expressing their gratitude, the three members of the Zou family had another purpose for coming to Phoenix Mountain today. They wanted to buy a house on the mountain.

Gu Fan accompanied them to see the house.

What surprised Gu Fan was that the sales point in Fenghuang Mountain used to be so deserted that it was almost like going out to attract customers to buy houses. But today it was very lively. A rough count showed that there were at least twenty people choosing houses.

"Ms. Gu! What's the matter? Do you want to buy another house today?" The sales manager greeted Gu Fan warmly when he saw her. Others might not know, but he knew clearly in his heart that it was because Gu Fan had good things in her hands that attracted other people to come to Fenghuang Mountain to buy houses. It was just like the saying goes, a mountain is not famous for its height, but for the immortals living there!

At this moment, Gu Fan was a god in the eyes of the sales manager, bringing prosperity to his business!

Gu Fan explained: "My friend wanted to buy it."

The friends of gods are also gods. The sales manager immediately invited the four people to his office, opened the tablet, and displayed the distribution of unsold houses on the mountain.

Gu Fan took a closer look and found that the few houses closest to their mountainous area had all been bought.

Now she guessed why the new owners came. They were either trying to curry favor with her or to find out her secrets.

"Mom, let's buy this one. I like this river." Zou Yuanyuan took a fancy to one.

Zou Shan and Xu Yun paid on the spot.

The transaction was completed, and Gu Fan and the other three walked out. When they were about to go out, a tall and slender man with a scar on his face walked in from outside.

When he saw Zou Shan, the man almost instinctively stopped his feet and gave him a standard military salute.

Zou Shan smiled and said, "Xiao Chen, are you also buying a house here?"

Xiao Chen only had the former admiral in his eyes. Since the admiral asked him a question and it wasn't a secret, Xiao Chen answered directly: "I didn't buy it. The young marshal heard that my cousin had settled here, so he asked me to come and buy a house for him."

Zou Shan understood and advised: "Then you should go quickly, otherwise all the good places will be taken."

Xiao Chen bowed and went to buy a house. Before leaving, he secretly glanced at Gu Fan. After all, such a beautiful girl base is rare.

Gu Fan's heart was still beating fast. Did Lu Ya really buy a house here just to live closer to Meng Lianying?
