Lu Yao glanced at the newcomer, not understanding his purpose, and only greeted him: "Mr. Zhou."
Zhou Jing was from the auction house, and he was the one who received Lu Yao two days ago.
The emerald rough stone had been auctioned last night, and after deducting the commission and tax, the remaining money had been transferred to her account.
This was considered the fulfillment of the auction contract, but she didn't expect to see him here.
There was another person behind Zhou Jing, sitting on the side of the glass round table, a little girl in her teens, wearing a beautiful puffy skirt, with big eyes, a plump nose and cherry lips, just like a doll in the window.
Without waiting for Zhou Jing to speak again, the doll stood up, walked in front of Zhou Jing, looked at Lu Yao, and her delicate eyebrows were full of pride: "Who are you?"
Since becoming the owner of the shopping street, as long as the store is open for one day, it is inevitable to introduce yourself to customers.
"I am Lu Yao." The owner's answer is still simple.
The doll's expression became intriguing, "Are you Lu Yao, the boss here?"
Lu Yao glanced at her, raised his head to look at Zhou Jing, and asked with his eyes what they were here for.
Zhou Jing was about to speak, but was beaten to the punch by the doll again.
"I want to buy this store, you name a price." As soon as the voice fell, the doll looked like she was waiting for an offer.
Pepper stood behind Lu Yao, lowered her eyebrows and glanced at the little girl, and snorted coldly.
The doll heard it, looked at him, and ignored him completely.
Bai Yi and Xie Molin looked at each other. Bai Yi had no idea about the origin of this little girl, but Xie Molin knew a little.
To put it simply, the Sanhua Xin family is the richest in the city and the seventh richest family in the country.
The doll's name is Xinxin, the eldest granddaughter of the Xin family, and a real eldest lady.
Xie Molin has gradually become familiar with the work of the cram school. The owner said the day before yesterday that he would let him personally teach the cram school students in a few days. He was originally looking forward to it, but now he can't help but feel a little nervous.
It's not that he looks down on the owner. It's true that in this world, in addition to superpowers, there is also a kind of "money power" that cannot be underestimated.
There are many rumors about the eldest lady of the Xin family in the circle. Zhang Yang is willful, coquettish and pretentious. But there was nothing he could do about her. Money always opens the way for everything, and most people are willing to take a step back.
If she really threw a few million or even tens of millions to buy this store, it would be normal for the owner to be tempted . Lu
Yao stepped back, walked to the table and sat down, looking at the doll with a smile: "I wonder who you are?"
Xinxin was annoyed.
Is this guy doing this on purpose?
She walked to the table, and Zhou Jing considerately pulled out the chair.
After Xinxin sat down, she still had to look up at the owner: "It doesn't matter who I am. Make an offer."
Professional instinct made Zhou Jing's luck constantly. He had dealt with the owner before, and knew that this person, like him, would not trade at a loss, but the eldest lady's posture was clearly offering herself to be ripped off.
Zhou Jing wanted to speak several times, but he didn't find the right opportunity. At this time, he held his breath and waited for Lu Yao to make an offer. He would immediately lower the price, trying to get the price to a suitable range. Lu Yao
had a lot of things to do and didn't want to continue to kill time with the children. He said directly: "Sorry, not selling."
These four simple words made Xinxin stunned for a moment, "Why? I will give you a good price. How about three million?"
Zhou Jing raised his hands to cover his face.
Ji Feiming and Ji Zhixin came in and saw this scene.
Seeing that Lu Yao didn't say anything, Xinxin continued to raise the price: "Five million?" Lu Yao
didn't move.
Xinxin: "Ten million."
Bai Yi and Jiao Jiao's faces changed slightly, with only two words on their faces: "spendthrift".
Lu Yao glanced at the uncle and nephew of the Ji family and suddenly smiled.
Xinxin's eyebrows were already furrowed: "What are you laughing at?" Lu Yao
shook his head: "I just remembered that someone came to me before and asked me to name a price to buy my street."
Ji Feiming's old face flushed.
He was so arrogant at that time, and even asked the store owner for 100 million.
Xinxin raised his eyebrows: "What happened later?"
Lu Yao: "I also refused."
He also kidnapped people
to work in the store.
Xinxin looked bored: "That must be because the money was too little. I will double it and buy your store for 20 million, and you can continue to work for me."
Zhou Jing wanted to kneel down.
Ji Feiming, Ji Zhixin and Bai Yi all had very subtle expressions.
Lu Yao fell into thought, Xinxin thought she was tangled, and her face was full of interest, waiting for her to compromise.
As a result, Lu Yao asked: "Is there anything in this store that interests you?"
Xin Xin shook her head: "No. Why do
you ask that?" Lu Yao: "Then why did you spend a lot of money to buy it?"
Xin Xin: "Because I have money." Lu Yao
nodded calmly: "I see."
Xin Xin felt a little strange and looked at Lu Yao with a frown.
Someone had asked her this question before, and every time she used this killer move, the other person's expression was always a mixture of indescribable weakness and envy.
Who doesn't want to be rich?
She was absolutely sure that money was definitely the most interesting ability in the world, no doubt about it.
In the past, she had also met people who were unwilling to make an offer and kept rejecting her offer, and it was often because the price was not enough.
If a dollar fell on the ground, some people would not be willing to bend down to pick it up.
If a thousand dollars fell on the ground, many people would definitely be willing to pick it up.
If a hundred thousand dollars fell on the ground, it would cause a scramble.
Xinxin vaguely felt that the person in front of her was a little different. She was too calm.
Xinxin did not give up and raised the price again: "Fifty million."
Zhou Jing had already covered his face and turned away. He regretted that he had chatted with his colleagues about "emerald rough stone sellers" in the morning, and the eldest lady heard it. Lu
Yao still shook his head.
Ji Feiming was already digging his toes on the ground. He felt silly just by looking at this little girl. Then he thought back to himself a few months ago. He was several decades older than this kid and had been a messenger of God. He was also so arrogant and insolent at that time.
If he stayed here for one more second, the dead memories would keep attacking his fragile psychological defenses. He couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Shopkeeper, Zhixin and I have something to tell you."
Seeing that the two of them looked wrong, Lu Yao stood up and walked out: "Okay, let's go."
Xinxin wanted to say something, but was finally stopped by Zhou Jing.
Xie Molin looked at the three people leaving and fell into deep thought.
The two of them were very respectful to the shopkeeper, so respectful that they didn't seem like shop assistants, but more like... retainers.
Xinxin watched Lu Yao walk away nonchalantly, and gradually realized that she really didn't want to sell the store. Xinxin
looked at Zhou Jing in confusion: "Why?"
Zhou Jing: "?"
Xinxin: "50 million is too little?"
Zhou Jing: "...Ms. Lu probably doesn't lack money."
Xinxin turned her head unconvinced, unwilling to leave.
It must be that the price she offered was not high enough.
-----
Shopping Street.
Under the eaves outside the childhood cram school, Ji Feichen said to Lu Yao with a serious expression: "Shopkeeper, we received news that the child is about to be wiped out."
Ji Feichen lost the child and could no longer care about the previous grudges with Ji Feiming. The only person who knows the gods and the child best is the one who has truly been a messenger of the gods. When he called Ji Feiming for advice, he had to reveal the whereabouts of the child.
Ji Feiming was silent for a long while after listening to this. It was not until Ji Feichen on the other end of the phone asked him "Are you still listening" that he sighed and said, "Since you know that the child is going to Yaoguang, and he is walking, you should take a plane, a high-speed train, or anything else, and come to Yaoguang to welcome him."
"..." Ji Feichen was also stunned.
The child could not take public transportation, but they could, and they also lost their composure because of the child's disappearance.
After hanging up the phone, Ji Feichen suddenly remembered that Ji Feiming seemed to have gone to Yaoguang since he resigned from the position of God's Messenger, and many thoughts flashed through his mind.
Does the child's going to Yaoguang have anything to do with him?
When he called again, the call was no longer connected, so he had to put this matter aside and quickly gather the tribesmen
to go to Yaoguang City as quickly as possible.
Lu Yao thought that something important was going on between the uncle and nephew, but it turned out to be news about the Son of God.
Is it really okay to tell her this secret news within their clan?
Lu Yao guessed what they meant and said generously: "You want to ask for leave, right? How many days? Ask Jiuhua Ding to go to the furry shop first. Xiao Ji will give the ring to Fu Chi and I will talk to him later."
Ji Feiming looked a little anxious: "Shopkeeper, it's not a leave. But you have to get ready. The child is likely to come to see you. I just talked to my cousin, and the new child cannot take public transportation. His divine power is incompatible with modern civilization. This child has great power and is not an ordinary Son of God."
Lu Yao frowned, with an expression of "what does this have to do with me".
Ji Feiming took a deep breath and looked at Lu Yao helplessly: "Shopkeeper, I can be sure that the child came for you. In order to obtain the godhood, he will come and kill you personally."
Gods do not kill mortals, they will only bring down divine punishment, but it does not mean that they will not kill demons.
Ji Feiming already had some guesses in his heart, and after seeing the face of the child, his thoughts were more confirmed.
The shopkeeper is the hurdle for the child to become a god.
After working with the shopkeeper for a few months, he knew that the shopkeeper should not be an evil thing.
In this case, there is only one possibility, the existence of the shopkeeper violates the rules here, and is regarded as an evil spirit that must be eradicated.
It's not that she is wrong, but it is inconsistent with the rules of the world and should not remain in this world.
She and this street are both like this.
Ji Feiming and Ji Zhixin both knew what the best choice was at this time, but they couldn't make up their minds. At this point, they even wanted to go with the store owner to give it a try.
It would be too boring to always live by the rules.
Ji Feiming thought a lot sadly, and he even made a plan.
But after the last serious reminder, the store owner still looked out of shape, and Ji Feiming and Ji Zhixin looked at each other in silence.
Lu Yao patiently listened to Ji Feiming's statement, and was stunned for a long time before speaking: "You two want to kill the child?"
Should this also be considered "killing the gods"?
She remembered that Cui Huangxing had said before that the death of gods would cause the world to collapse and disasters would continue. Lu Yao
suddenly remembered that the old gods on this side of the shopping street had passed away, so why didn't a disaster happen? Even the successor son of God appeared so quickly.
Lu Yao couldn't help asking, "When and why did the old god die?"
Seeing Lu Yao lost in thought, Ji Feiming thought she was thinking about the child, but it turned out she was just curious about this kind of thing.
"..."
Ji Zhixin saw that his uncle was angry and anxious and was about to get hurt, so he couldn't help but say, "Shopkeeper, the most important thing right now is the child."
Lu Yao couldn't get the answer, so he temporarily suppressed his doubts and typed into the system: "Should I take care of this?"
The system couldn't figure out the origin of this child, but for some reason, it was very stubborn: [...Our only goal is to open a store, so we don't need to be distracted by other things. 】 Lu Yao
nodded in his heart, and when he looked at the uncle and nephew of the Ji family, he relaxed: "Don't worry, nothing will happen. This is just an abandoned old street with a few shops that don't do much business. How could it attract the attention of a child?"
Ji Feiming sighed: "You still don't believe us."
His eyes were particularly sad, and there was an indescribable grievance.
Ji Zhixin turned his head away and didn't dare to look, for fear that he couldn't help laughing. Lu Yao
was stared at by him for a while, and then he gave in: "Okay, okay, I believe it. According to your opinion, what should we do? I will cooperate with you fully."
The uncle and nephew of the Ji family suddenly remembered that this is a shopping street, and the shop owner is just an ordinary person.
Ji Feiming & Ji Zhixin: "..."
After the two discussed, they told Lu Yao that they would set up a barrier around the shopping street.
In fact, the store owner could just hide in any store and enter the other world, and the child who had not yet become a god would be helpless against her.
After the discussion, the uncle and nephew had never been so embarrassed before, and felt that their IQs had been taken away by Ji Feichen and his group.
Afterwards, the uncle and nephew of the Ji family set up barriers all over the mountains and plains, and the store owner returned to the cram school.
In the afternoon, it snowed heavily in Yaoguang City again.
It did not stop all night.
That evening, the Ji clan members arrived in Yaoguang City, including Ji Feichen and the younger generation of the Ji family.
Even Ji Zhixin's mother Ji Feirong came and called her son as soon as she landed.
