Chapter 105: Something unexpected happened
"No, that's not what I meant."
Jiang Hongyi looked at Qi Xu who was getting closer and closer to him, thinking that she was really angry, and hurriedly began to explain.
"Well, what I mean is, if your money is not enough, I still have some savings. Since you want to do this business, we will do it to the best of our ability."
He met Qi Xu's shining eyes and was unconsciously drawn into them.
"Your money? How much money do you have? Is it more than mine?"
Qi Xu continued to stare at him leisurely, waiting for his answer.
"Well, it's definitely not as much as helping you, but it can make up for the gap you're in."
Jiang Hongyi is a very honest man. As he spoke, he took out the red cloth bag he had prepared in his trouser pocket.
Qi Xu took it without hesitation and opened a corner of the red cloth bag. He rubbed it with his fingers and knew the approximate amount of money.
"Didn't you give me part of your savings before? Are these some small stashes of money you secretly hid?"
She suddenly found that she really liked teasing Jiang Hongyi and liked seeing him embarrassed.
"No, it's not. This is the latest salary. There's also some bonuses given by the team for our successful business trip to Country R."
Jiang Hongyi always spoke in a serious tone, fearing that if he explained too slowly she would misunderstand him.
"Okay, okay, it's no big deal. When have I never believed anything you said?"
Qi Xu looked at his ears which gradually turned red from his frantic explanations, and he couldn't help but curl up his lips to reveal his amusing intentions.
Jiang Hongyi realized that he was being fooled and felt a little helpless, but he had no intention of blaming anyone at all.
Zou Yaojie saw that the time was almost up, so while it was still early, he planned to call his brothers to go out to sea together and come back before the sun set.
There was a clerk in the store who was watching over the shop. Qi Xu instructed him to sort the beads peeled by each employee at night, then weigh and record them, and have the clerk sign them. He would then come to the jewelry store to check at around eleven o'clock the next morning.
After communicating with the guys in the store, she turned around and chatted with Tong Xiuyuan and the others. Today was the first day, and no one was familiar with the work process, so today's task was half of the next two days.
Everyone was overjoyed. Just now they were worried that they were not skilled enough to complete the task and would be fired.
No one expected their boss to be so understanding. They all said in unison, "Don't worry, boss. We will definitely finish it."
Seeing smiles gradually appear on everyone's faces, Qi Xu finally felt relieved.
After settling the workers who were peeling the beads, Qi Xu and Jiang Hongyi returned to their own store to help.
About half an hour later, Qi Xu saw the workers busying around and sweating profusely, so he quickly went out to buy some fruits and tomatoes so that everyone could take a break.
The workers looked very happy, and Qi Xu asked about the construction period to see when the renovation could be completed at the earliest.
Everyone probably felt better after eating some fruit, and immediately said that the work could be completed by tomorrow night at the latest.
Qi Xu felt that the time was about the same as he had expected, so he gave everyone a small portion as an incentive. Everyone looked at the money in their hands and worked even harder.
Jiang Hongyi and Qi Xu came to Xiaohao's house again, thinking about what kind of jewelry would look better with the raw crystal material.
As soon as they entered the house, they saw Xiaohao's father showing off a pile of crystal ornaments on the table.
Qi Xu walked forward to take a look and found that no matter the size, each piece of jewelry contained more or less of the five elements.
"Oh, brother, our processing factory does a pretty good job. This crystal looks very smooth after being polished."
Qi Xu picked up a bracelet at random, put it in front of his eyes, admired it carefully, and praised it directly.
"Hey, sister-in-law, that's nothing. Our factory has decades of history. If we can't even come up with polishing technology, wouldn't all our decades of work be in vain?"
It seems that Xiaohao's father is still very confident in the processing of his factory.
"But do you think it's difficult to string these beads into a bracelet?"
Qi Xu said this and asked Jiang Hongyi to take out the beads he had carried all the way and put them on the table for display.
"These are pearls I caught at sea. They are of good quality. Don't worry, even eggs can be strung into strings."
Xiaohao's father weighed some of the beads and made a judgment immediately.
"That's good, that's good. But we only have this small bag of beads right now. You can just make some finished products first so that we can display them in the store later."
"Don't worry, I've already started hiring workers today. Starting tomorrow, a fixed number of kilograms will be delivered every day."
Qi Xu clearly felt that he was hesitant when looking at the small bag of beads on the table, so he took the initiative to explain.
"Okay, okay, as long as you can supply it on time and in fixed quantities, then my processing plant won't have to worry."
Xiaohao's father couldn't let go of some rare pearls.
It seems that people still like beautiful things.
She was still somewhat confident about the future business of her store. She had previously observed that the women, girls and grandmothers on the island always carried small accessories on their hands, so she should have no trouble selling them.
After coming out of Xiaohao's house, Qi Xu was in high spirits and everyone around her could see how happy she was.
"Ahhh! Ahhhh!"
The snow wolf, which had been quiet all the way, suddenly started howling wildly at a remote alley.
Jiang Hongyi immediately went into a defensive state, protecting Qi Xu behind him.
"Let's go over and see what's over there. Snow wolves have a very keen sense of smell, and they usually don't bark."
Qi Xu stood behind Jiang Hongyi, pulling the corner of his clothes from behind and making a suggestion.
The two of them walked forward one after the other, with Snow Wolf leading the way.
“Ahhhhhh!”
When he was about to reach the entrance of the alley, he suddenly heard a heart-wrenching sound, which made Qi Xu's heart skip a beat.
"You wait here, Snow Wolf and I will go take a look first."
Jiang Hongyi felt that things were not that simple, so he took the lead and pulled the snow wolf over.
Qi Xu was two or three steps away from them and looked over.
When he was almost at the entrance of the alley, Qi Xu suddenly saw a ball of black gas coming out from the alley, floating directly into the sky and flying towards the sea.
"Oh no, there's an accident. Jiang Hongyi, quickly check if there's anyone at the entrance of the alley."
Qi Xu suddenly had a bad feeling and hurriedly gave instructions.
Jiang Hongyi obediently took two quick steps and leaned forward, and saw a man lying on the ground. He was skinny and his movements looked strange.
Qi Xu guessed almost the same thing, and took a few quick steps to look over. "No, we should send him to the hospital. This doesn't look good."
