That night, Ji Anchen stayed overnight at the old house. Ji Nanzhou had an inspiration and took Pearl back to the company to stay up late.
Old Madam Ji had tried all kinds of good medicines. She was worried because she couldn't sleep well. She didn't think Pearl would have any effect. In consideration of her grandson's kindness, she had to put Pearl on the bedside table.
The next morning, Ji Anchen went downstairs to have breakfast, but his grandpa and grandma, who liked to get up early, were not in the living room.
After asking his aunt, he learned that the old man and the old lady had not gotten up yet.
Ji Anchen's heart skipped a beat. The old man was old, and he was afraid that something might happen. It was worrying that he didn't get up so late.
Ji Anchen hurried upstairs and was about to knock on the door, but the door was opened.
"You didn't even call me. What time is it?" the old lady muttered.
The old man was helpless. "You usually toss and turn and can't fall asleep, but you slept soundly last night. I slept soundly too. I didn't pay attention to the time. Don't worry."
Ji Anchen paused and watched his grandpa and grandma muttering as they came out of the room.
The old lady raised her head and saw her grandson at the door. "Achen, are you waiting impatiently?"
The old lady's complexion was rosy and she was full of energy. "We'll come right away."
"Please go slowly. Don't worry." Ji Anchen helped his grandmother downstairs.
While the three of them were having breakfast, Ji Anchen looked at the two old people from time to time. They looked very healthy and energetic.
The old lady added another spoonful of porridge for herself, and saw that the old man was already eating the second bowl of soup dumplings, "You take it easy, isn't one bowl enough on normal days?"
The old man ate sweetly, "I don't know why, but I just feel very hungry, I can eat another bowl."
"You should take it easy, you are so old, don't eat too much."
"Didn't you add the second bowl too?"
Then, the old couple paused, always feeling that they had a good appetite today, and they were in good spirits, and even their bodies were much more relaxed.
Ji Anchen finally found the opportunity to speak, "Did you sleep well last night?"
"I slept too deeply last night. I woke up early in the morning and felt relaxed all over. I even thought breakfast was especially delicious..." Old lady Ji remembered belatedly that her grandson had given her the sleep-aid pearls last night.
The old lady paused, put down her chopsticks, stood up and went back to her room to get the pearls.
"Is it really the effect of the pearls? I feel particularly energetic today, and I feel relaxed all over." The old lady was a little bit unbelieving.
"Not only do you feel energetic, but your complexion is also very good." The old man stuffed the last soup bag into his mouth and leaned over to take a look. "What kind of pearl is this? It looks so good?"
"I heard it's called black star pearls. Have you heard of it, grandpa?" Ji Anchen looked a little serious.
"I've never heard of this. Where did it come from?" The old man knew the goods very well and knew at a glance that these three pearls were worth a lot of money.
Ji Anchen told his grandfather in detail what happened yesterday. The more the old man listened, the more solemn his expression became. Especially when he heard Lu Jiu say, "Next time, you may not be able to buy these pearls with 50 million," the old man sighed.
"Achen, you have met a strange man. His words clearly show that he knows the true value of the pearls. You offered 5 million without knowing the efficacy. It is not a low price, but it is far from the true value of the pearls. He did not raise the price with you, but rejected your proposal to purchase the exclusive sales rights. He was not tempted even when you offered 20 million. What does this show?"
Ji Anchen's eyes were deep: "It shows that good products are easy to sell."
"Yes, such beautiful pearls with such good efficacy. If this news gets out, there will be many people who want to buy pearls."
The old man said: "Find a time to give him some more money. The price you offered is too low."
"I see."
Finding someone is also a hassle. If it really doesn't work, you can only transfer the money directly.
The old lady took out two big pearls and said, "Such rare pearls, give one to your aunt, and give one to your cousin. He has a disease that causes frequent headaches, loss of appetite, and poor sleep. I hope the pearls can help him sleep better."
Lu Jiu, who was in serious need of money, didn't know that someone wanted to give him money.
When I woke up, I was shocked to hear the bad news!
"Washington" announced this morning that Si Shen's concert in City B was postponed, and the next two concerts were postponed as well. The specific date of the postponement has not yet been determined.
Fans who were ready to leave for City B went to Weibo to ask the reason. The
postponement of a singer's concert was originally a very common thing, but as soon as the news of Si Shen's concert postponement came out, countless rumors were rampant.
It is reported that after the concert in City A, Si Shen suddenly fainted and was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment. He has not been out since.
Pictures speak louder than words. The whistleblower released photos of the ambulance. After comparing the environment, it was confirmed that it was indeed outside the concert in City A. However, this does not mean that the person in the ambulance was Si Shen, after all, no one was photographed.
There are also reports that Si Shen had a car accident and was seriously disfigured and could not continue to perform. There are
also reports that Si Shen has a terminal illness and does not have much time left. His family is already preparing for his funeral.
One shocking piece of news after another scared the fans to tears and swarmed to Si Shen’s Weibo, asking him to come out and say a few words.
It doesn’t matter if the concert is postponed, they can wait, but they want to know if Si Shen is safe.
Looking at these seemingly true but false news, Lu Jiu felt cold all over.
Like countless fans, he was also waiting for Si Shen's response.
The online gossip was quickly suppressed, but fans were still worried because everyone who should have seen it had already seen it.
"Washington" officially came out to refute the rumors, thanking fans for their concern. Si Xu is fine. Due to the high pressure at work and excessive fatigue, he needs to rest for a while and will meet with fans soon. As soon
as the rumor was refuted, black fans immediately jumped out to refute it.
Si Xu's concerts have been severely reduced in the past two years, and he has attended very few events. Where is the high pressure at work? Where is the fatigue? It is obviously because of his physical condition that he cannot take on so many jobs.
The worried fans immediately greeted the haters. The haters wanted to jump around, but were quickly scolded by the crazy fans.
The official refuted the rumor, but the fans didn't buy it. They kept calling on Si Shen to come out and clarify. They wanted to see Si Shen's condition with their own eyes. If Si Shen didn't come out, countless fans would go to the blog and his Weibo was criticized again and again. He spent the whole morning in paralysis and rush to repair. In
the afternoon, Si Shen finally posted a video to report that he was safe.
In the video, Si Shen was obviously much thinner than during the concert in City A, but he looked energetic and in good spirits. He greeted fans in his home clothes and talked about his situation, which was insomnia and poor rest, which affected his daytime state.
"Don't worry, everyone. My cousin gave me a pearl, which is said to help me sleep. I tried it and slept for the whole morning, so I didn't see everyone's messages at the first time. I'm really sorry."
At the end of the video, Si Shen made a sincere apology for the postponement of the concert.
Fans were relieved, but also a little worried. Si Shen suddenly lost so much weight, and fans felt distressed.
Many fans left messages, urging Si Shen to get a comprehensive check-up. Sudden weight loss is not a good thing, and Si Shen should take care of his body.
Black fans jumped up and down, and they were transferred from the hospital to their home. It must be very hard, right? After making arrangements for the whole morning, he came out to put on a show in the afternoon. What kind of pearl is so effective? Is it more effective than the elixir of Laozi?
The weird black fans were soon annoyed by the fans and became isolated. The world was finally quiet.
Si Xu was not deliberately putting on a show. He was indeed sleeping in the morning.
His condition did not require him to continue to be hospitalized. He returned to his residence last night. Ji Anchen originally wanted to visit Si Xu in the hospital, but he got the news halfway that Si Xu was discharged from the hospital, so he went to Si Xu's residence.
Old Madam Ji gave Si Xu a black star bead and talked about the various benefits of the black star bead. Si Xu found it magical and asked about the origin of the black star bead. Ji Anchen had to tell him what happened yesterday again.
Si Xu felt that selling pearls on the street was similar to selling silver fish in the store.
When asked what the name of the person selling pearls was, Ji Anchen shook his head helplessly.
"Don't mention the name. I didn't even see his face, let alone his contact information. My master asked me to give him money, but I can't even find him. If it doesn't work, I'll just transfer the money to him directly."
There will be a record of the transfer, and Si Xu wanted to see his transfer record.
Ji Anchen found it and gave it to him. The payee showed "*九", and Si Xu was almost certain that the person selling pearls was Lu Jiu.
After the Ji family left, Si Xu placed the pearls on the bedside and slept for a while. However, he slept too deeply and slept until the afternoon. He was still awakened by the knock on the door by his agent. Only then did he realize that his Weibo had been paralyzed several times by his fans, so he recorded a video to report that he was safe.
Lu Jiu also saw the video and watched it over and over again many times, confirming that Si Shen was talking about pearls to help with sleep.
Speaking of pearls, is there any better than the Black Star Pearl?
Lu Jiu decided to go to the Demon Sea to look for the Black Star Pearl and bring some goods back. His shop is already under renovation, and the materials used are the best, non-toxic and odorless, so there is no need to deliberately disperse the odor, and it will be open soon.
The size of the black star beads is directly related to the size of the black star clams. Due to the limitations of the fish pond, the few black star clams that Lu Jiu brought back were very small. Even if there were pearls, they were not big. He wanted to go to the Demon Sea to find big black star clams.
Lu Jiu turned off his mobile phone and left it at home. He took off his clothes and shoes, took a big fish bucket, and prepared to bring back more seafood from the Demon Sea.
Lu Jiu wanted to go to the sea to catch black star clams. He had to take off his clothes first. If he fell into the Demon Sea, it would easily cause seawater pollution. If he left his clothes on the islands and reefs, he would wander in the Demon Sea and might get lost. He didn't know which island his clothes were left on before.
The gate opened, 5 magic points were deducted, and Lu Jiu was sent to the Demon Sea plane, but he couldn't take the big fish bucket with him.
[System prompts that items that are not from the Demon Sea plane are not allowed to be brought in (except clothes). 】
Lu Jiu no longer had time to care about the big fish barrel. He appeared on the reef where he left. The reef used to be exposed above the water for a long time, but now only a tip is left, and it may be submerged by the magic sea water at any time.
When Lu Jiu appeared, his legs and feet were in the sea water. The sudden severe pain made him lose his balance and fell into the sea water with a "plop". He rolled and struggled in the magic sea. His legs grew together and turned into an inky fish tail. His palms and ears also changed.
After completely changing into the form of a mermaid, Lu Jiu swam up, climbed up the reef, and panted.
