They said in unison, "Boss, please give your orders."

Boss Xiong said, "Go and check what's in the backpack."

Several people quickly came to Wang Xiaolan's backpack. They lifted the backpack to a bright place and looked at it again and again. A young man came to Boss Xiong and whispered a few words.

After hearing what the young man said, Boss Xiong said in surprise, "Oh! Is there such a good thing? Bring it over here and let me see it."

A few people carried the backpack to Big Bear. He took a look and saw the rice, flour, fruit, and cotton coats inside. They were all top-notch goods. His eyes lit up immediately. Oh my god! These things, as soon as they were taken out, would definitely be hot commodities.

Boss Xiong looked at Wang Xiaolan and secretly said in his heart: "This woman is my God of Wealth, I must not offend her."

Thinking of this, he happily ordered, "Quickly bring a chair and let Big Sister sit down."

Soon someone brought a chair and placed it in front of Wang Xiaolan, and then someone brought a glass of water.

The fat, fleshy Boss Xiong stood up from his seat and walked in front of Wang Xiaolan. With an apologetic look on his face, he clasped his hands and said, "Sister, I'm so sorry! I was so careless just now. I hope you will be magnanimous and forgive me!"

Wang Xiaolan returned the greeting and said, "It's okay." Then she sat back in her chair slowly.

Seeing that Boss Xiong was still standing there with an uneasy look on his face, Wang Xiaolan felt amused.

She raised her head slightly, a faint smile appeared on her face, and said, "Okay, okay, Brother Xiong, don't be so formal." As soon as she finished speaking, she picked up the teacup on the table and took a big gulp. She looked as generous as she could be.

Boss Xiong, seeing that Wang Xiaolan did not blame him, returned to his seat and said, "Big sister, how much do you have in this batch? I will give you the best price on the market."

Wang Xiaolan said, "It depends on how much you want. As for the price, it's easy to negotiate. If you want more, I can give you a discount."

Boss Xiong was very happy after hearing what Wang Xiaolan said. He said, "I want as much as you have."

Wang Xiaolan said, "How about this? Considering the limited storage space in the warehouse, we'll give each of you two tons of the things in the backpacks, and 100 cotton coats. What do you think?"

When Big Bear heard this, he thought to himself, "Oh my goodness! There's so much good stuff! These are exactly what the black markets in Kyoto need. I can make a fortune selling this stuff. How lucky I am to have met such a capable God of Wealth! God is really blessing me! I'll have to go to the temple and burn incense to worship the God of Wealth."

He thought about this and said, "Okay, I'll do as you say." Then he spoke a few words to a young man, who then went out through the same door.

After a while, he came back and whispered a few words in Boss Xiong's ear. Boss Xiong's face darkened and he said, "Hasn't the payment for yesterday's goods come back yet?"

The young man nodded.

Boss Xiong said impatiently, "Go away!"

Then, with a look of apology on his face, he said to Wang Xiaolan, "Sister, to be honest, I really didn't expect to receive such a large order this time. Look, I don't have that much cash on hand at the moment! My accountant just carefully calculated it, and the cash we have on hand can only pay you two-thirds of the purchase price at most."

When Wang Xiaolan heard this, she couldn't help but wonder: Since he doesn't have enough funds on hand, why not sell him fewer goods to avoid subsequent troubles.

Just as she was thinking about how to respond, she heard Boss Xiong say again: "Sister, how about this? I have some old things here that can be used to offset the remaining balance. What do you think? These old things are quite old and valuable." As he spoke, Boss Xiong began to describe the origins and characteristics of those old items to Wang Xiaolan.

Wang Xiaolan listened to what Boss Xiong said, thought about it, and said, "I don't think I can't consider what you said, but it depends on whether your old things are genuine. You know, the sources of goods I have are not something that can be obtained by one person. I have a boss behind me."

Boss Xiong said with a broad smile, "Oh, you're a big businessman, and I know you like a mirror. So, I've been looking forward to establishing a long-term cooperative relationship with you."

"I swear to heaven, even if I were to deceive everyone in the world, I would never be able to deceive you! Just put your mind at ease, relax, it's all right! Look at these items, they have all been personally verified by our old man. I dare to guarantee it for you with my own life."

"I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. Back in the day, my old man in the palace was an expert in handling these things. He has a collection of precious items, each of which is priceless and rare. If it weren't for the current tight financial situation and such a huge shortfall, I wouldn't have been willing to use them to offset the loss."

Wang Xiaolan looked at Boss Xiong's sincere and confident expression, and after a moment's thought, she slowly said, "Alright, this isn't the only deal we're doing. So, I'll trust you this time. But let me be frank, if anything goes wrong, the consequences won't be something we can afford."

Boss Xiong said, "That's right, that's right. I understand. I understand."

As he spoke, he turned his head slightly and made a gentle gesture to the man standing beside him. The man's eyes flashed, and he nodded in understanding. Then he turned quickly and ran into the inner room with quick but light steps.

Time ticked by. Just as Boss Bear was getting impatient and was about to call for more help, the man finally emerged from the door. He clutched a box tightly in both hands, as if it contained an inestimable treasure. His pace was slow and cautious, each step made with extreme care, fearing the slightest misstep.

Boss Xiong looked at the man and said impatiently, "Look at you, you look like a woman with bound feet. You walk too slowly. Are you trying to drive me crazy?"

The boy quickly explained, "Boss, I'm afraid it will break."

As he spoke, he carefully placed the box in his hand, which he regarded as a treasure, in the broad palm of Boss Xiong.

Boss Xiong quickly reached out his other hand and gently lifted the lid of the box. As the lid slowly opened, a mysterious light gradually emanated from within. Everyone's attention was drawn to it, staring intently at the box.
