Fu Hong happened to be bringing over tea and snacks when she saw the scene and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
"I got that wooden box from Miss Xing," Qin Shi said.
Fu Hong also knew about the wooden box. Looking at Xing Zhaozhao, she said with a look of surprise, "Oh, I see. Then we really should thank you. Ashi has been looking for that wooden box for many years. Now he has finally gotten his wish. It's not easy. Thanks to you. Come and sit here often. I'll give you a free meal."
As he spoke, he actually went back and got a free SVIp Platinum Card, which he then handed to Xing Zhaozhao.
Xing Zhaozhao declined at first, but eventually accepted it.
"Ah Hong." Lin Wan called out to Fu Hong from the side.
"Please have a seat." Fu Hong smiled apologetically at Xing Zhaozhao and the others, then turned and walked away.
"Huh?" Mr. Lu turned to look at Lin Wan, then back at Xing Zhaozhao. "I suddenly realized that you look quite a bit like that old lady. Could you be related?"
Xing Zhaozhao hurriedly shook her head: "No, it's the first time I've met her. As soon as we met, she grabbed me and insisted on becoming my godparent. It felt weird. I don't like her."
Qin Shi glanced at Xing Zhaozhao in surprise: "Yes, we should try to have as little contact with that person as possible."
Xing Zhaozhao looked at Qin Shi: "Is Mr. Qin also very familiar with her?"
Qin Shi nodded: "We used to live on the same street."
"Is there a problem? I think Mr. Fu and she have a pretty good relationship," Xing Zhaozhao asked.
Qin Shi shook his head: "I can't explain it."
Whether she genuinely couldn't explain it or simply didn't want to, Xing Zhaozhao didn't press her for an answer.
But it's okay, if it's hard to say about Old Qin Shi, she can go find Young Qin Shi.
Not far away, Lin Wan pulled Fu Hong aside and said something before preparing to leave. As she walked to the door, she suddenly turned her head and glanced at Xing Zhaozhao, and their eyes met.
Lin Wan smiled at Xing Zhaozhao.
Xing Zhaozhao turned her head away, completely ignoring her.
Lin Wan: "..."
A cold glint flashed in Lin Wan's eyes, and she left without looking back.
After finishing her tea, Xing Zhaozhao was ready to leave. According to her original plan, she was going to find Gao Yang first to give him the dried wild vegetables and mushrooms he had asked for, and then go to the peddler Xiao Xu to buy more goods. However, she was out of money and wondered if Xiao Xu could give her some on credit. If not, she had brought two small yellow croakers that she could use as collateral.
Mr. Lu received a phone call and stopped Xing Zhaozhao: "The cash you requested has been prepared. I'll have someone deliver it to you right away."
Is 1.05 million coming?
Xing Zhaozhao's eyes lit up: "Didn't you say it would take some time?"
"I asked someone to expedite it with the bank," Mr. Lu said.
Xing Zhaozhao smiled and said, "That would be great."
Mr. Lu's men quickly arrived and handed him a heavy box.
Mr. Lu then handed it to Xing Zhaozhao: "Please click on it."
“Okay.” Xing Zhaozhao opened the box, her eyes lighting up even more.
That's a lot of money.
She took a cloth bag out of her basket, opened it, and started counting as she threw stacks of money into it: "1, 2, 3... 99, 100, that's it."
After counting the money, Xing Zhaozhao tied the cloth bag and casually put it into her basket. She put the remaining 50,000 yuan in her pocket and then returned the empty box to Mr. Lu: "No problem, thank you, Mr. Lu."
Mr. Lu stared blankly at her basket, then took the empty box: "You're just going to take the money back like this?"
"Is there a problem?" Xing Zhaozhao asked. "No one will find out."
Mr. Lu: "..."
That's true. Who would have thought that someone would casually throw 1 million yuan in cash into a basket?
Actually, even if she were discovered, Xing Zhaozhao wasn't worried at all. She was sure that no one could snatch even a small paper ring from a stack of money from her hands intact.
"Oh, by the way," Xing Zhaozhao said, looking at Mr. Lu, "Could I borrow your phone for a moment?"
Mr. Lu handed over his phone: "You've earned so much, buy a phone, it'll be easier to stay in touch."
Xing Zhaozhao took the phone, smiling without saying a word.
Is she missing a phone? No, she's missing a SIM card for her phone.
I wonder when Mingcheng will come back. I miss him.
She took Gao Yang's business card out of her pocket and dialed the number on it; she now knew how to make phone calls herself.
Mr. Lu glanced at the business card in her hand, somewhat surprised: "Gao Yang? You actually know the young General Manager Gao from Zhaohong Group?"
Xing Zhaozhao nodded: "He is a loyal fan of our family's wild game."
"What wild game?" Zhou Huaixi asked curiously.
Xing Zhaozhao took out the items: "It's just some dried wild vegetables and dried wild mushrooms."
Zhou Huaixi had never tried it before: "Is it delicious?"
Qin Shi's eyes lit up: "It's delicious, and it looks like it's of excellent quality. Can I have some?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Huaixi wasn't about to be outdone: "I want one too."
Mr. Lu then said, "Give me some too."
Xing Zhaozhao quickly packed the things away: "No, these were pre-ordered by Boss Gao. It took him a long time to gather them all. If you want some too, wait two months. I'll pick some fresh, seasonal ones for you."
Although it's a bit of a shame, it's better than nothing.
After hesitating for a moment, the three of them reluctantly agreed: "That works too."
Then, they all left their phone numbers with Xing Zhaozhao.
No one answered the phone in Gaoyang; it rang for a while and then automatically disconnected.
Xing Zhaozhao frowned: "Why is no one answering? Did they dial the wrong number?"
She checked it carefully and found no problems.
"They're probably busy." Mr. Lu's expression hardened slightly as he thought of something. "I heard that their old man had some trouble before the New Year and is still lying in the intensive care unit, not yet awake. The Gao family is in complete chaos."
Xing Zhaozhao's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this: "What happened to their old man?"
Mr. Lu shook his head and said, "I don't know about that. His father holds a high rank in the military, and information is kept secret, so it's not easy to find out."
Xing Zhaozhao suddenly felt a little worried about her Mingcheng.
"What rank does their father hold in the military?"
She was about to ask a question, but before she could finish speaking, Mr. Lu's phone suddenly rang.
Thinking it was Mr. Lu calling, she was about to return the call, but upon closer inspection, she realized the number belonged to Gao Yang, so she answered it herself.
