Shi Jiu didn’t immediately suggest making hotpot, as he still needed to prepare it. After lunch, he went out to check the situation in the villa.
The people who came in yesterday were also busy tidying up their own little nests. However, it would not be good to have so many people doing nothing in the villa after the break. With their help, the apartment construction could be completed and people could move in on the same day, and other tasks would not require so many people after all.
It's time to explore other tasks.
She stood at the door of the main building. The flower beds that originally surrounded the edge did not continue to extend due to the expansion of the villa. Instead, a small flower bed was formed at the door.
The glistening white snow falling on the brightly blooming flowers looks particularly eye-catching.
Many people who came in first saw the colorful colors and thought they were fake flowers. Moreover, they did not show any signs of withering in the winter. How could real flowers withstand the cold?
Shi Jiu also thought so at the beginning, but every morning when she went to water the flowers, she often pinched the petals. The cool but somewhat thick feel told her that this was a real flower that was not afraid of the cold.
Those flowers bloomed so beautifully, and there was a faint glow flowing above them. It was not easy to notice if you didn't look carefully, but just looking at them made people feel extremely beautiful.
When she walked into the flower garden, she could smell the special fragrance of the flowers, which was a bit refreshing and a bit fragrant.
"001, why did you turn into a flower?" She asked 001 in her mind. Recently, 001 has been staying in her room and refused to come out and return to the original counter.
I'm a little uncomfortable with the lack of things at the counter.
"Because this flower is beautiful! I searched for it in the material library for a long time, and this one is the only good one. It also has colorful lights, so cool!" 001 couldn't stop getting excited when talking about this.
Cool...it's true, but I always feel a little bit Mary Sue. Besides the rainbow in the sky, there are also colorful hair...
She suspected that some strange things had been mixed into 001's material library.
"But the color transition of this flower is really beautiful." Just when Shi Jiu was in the rare mood to come out and appreciate the beautiful scenery, Qin Lou came out holding her cloak.
"Boss, put it on first. It's still windy now, be careful not to catch a cold." Qin Lou walked into the flower garden and handed over the cloak.
"Oh, I forgot about it when I came out, thank you." Shi Jiu took the cloak embarrassedly. He didn't feel it just now, but now when he mentioned it, he still felt a little chilly.
Qin Lou looked at the flowers blooming freely around him. Shi Jiu had originally said that these flowers were a gift for him, but she ended up coming over every day to water them.
Shi Jiu: If it weren’t for the system regulations, I wouldn’t want to do that!
"Boss, there are more and more people coming here recently. How are we going to develop the villa in the future?" Qin Lou would never ask about these things before, but Shi Jiu didn't notice that she unconsciously expressed her thoughts when she was relaxed.
"Later... I have to create for people..." She thought to herself, what will happen if the villa is upgraded again in the future, but there must be conditions for so many people to have jobs. She can keep issuing virtual currency, but she can't do without crystal core income.
This will eventually lead to a shortage of resources, and blindly relying on the system is not advisable.
What will happen to this place if she succeeds in her mission and leaves? As she was thinking about it, she said it unconsciously. Before she finished speaking, a "beep" sound in her mind brought her thoughts back to reality.
Her words stopped abruptly, and she was also startled by the system, and the system's warning notification came to her mind.
[Warning! Warning! Do not reveal the existence of this system, and do not disclose any subsequent developments to anyone. Otherwise, the mission will be considered a failure!]
Shi Jiu's body trembled noticeably. Was this system trying to scare people to death?!
Qin Lou was listening to her words. Seeing that her reaction was not right, he immediately asked with concern: "Boss, what's wrong with you? Is it too cold?"
Shi Jiu looked up and saw the concern on his subordinate's face. In the midday sun, his handsome face seemed to be coated with a layer of golden light. The original indifference in his eyes faded away, and his ink-black eyes were particularly attractive.
"Ah, I'm fine. I just shivered because I may have stood here for too long. Now I'm warm with my cloak on." Shi Jiu explained quickly.
Then, he mentally questioned 001, "Can't reveal it? But Qin Lou clearly knows about your existence. Weren't you the one who negotiated with him in the first place? He also knows about what's going on in the villa. How can you keep this a secret?"
001 was a bit stuck, and finally responded mechanically: "I didn't specifically explain this issue before. Currently, only you and Qin Lou know about it. And all Qin Lou knows is that the system has signed an agreement with him. Just treat it as a big boss above us and let's not discuss this issue anymore."
It’s really weird, Shi Jiu complained in his heart, why are you talking about this now? I don’t know if there is a Qinlou in the villa, people just don’t ask.
But after this rule came out, she didn't know what to say, and could only evade Qin Lou's question.
"As for the future, there will be a way. I will plan it carefully in the next few days." She said a little depressed. Couldn't she ask Qin Lou to help her think of countermeasures and discuss how to set up activities and tasks in the villa?
She looked up into the distance. Although it had been snowing recently, the sun always appeared at noon, there were fewer clouds, and the blue sky was faintly visible through the thin white clouds.
She felt a little sad for a while because she would not be able to use her capable assistant anymore.
Qin Lou felt her mood drop instantly, as the direction of events was somewhat beyond his expectations.
Could it be that there's been an influx of people, leading to uncontrollable problems? No, there haven't been any reports of major incidents in the past few days.
Or was there something wrong with the system? Was the farm unusable? Was there no food? He immediately pulled out his tablet and checked. Everything was fine.
Or...family? Last time she talked about her family, and how attached she was to her parents, but she didn't say what happened to them later. And...she appeared in City B.
001 was originally thinking about whether to set some trigger words for the warning, so as to avoid them accidentally discovering Shi Jiu’s sadness when they were chatting about it in the future.
001: I have never seen such a lazy host.
"Host, I only forbid you from discussing matters related to the system, but I didn't say that you can't plan development based on the existing situation in the villa." Then, he really couldn't help but complain.
"Host, don't you realize how lazy you are? It's clearly your task, but you throw it to your subordinates."
Hearing 001's accusation, Shi Jiu would not admit it. "001, you are wrong. I am making rational use of employee resources. According to what you said, you also accepted the task, and then found me and gave it to me to complete. Isn't that reasonable?"
001 invested resources and made commitments, and Shi Jiu helped it complete the task, which was also for herself. Then she let her employees do the work, and the employees also got corresponding things. She gained a good helper, and both parties benefited.
001 remained silent for a long time and did not comment on this.
Shi Jiu became more and more certain that this was definitely a brand new system, but it was okay, it wasn't some skin-peeling system, at least she could complete the task smoothly.
After learning that he had not been deprived of his assistant, he felt less depressed.
Turning around, I saw Qin Lou scratching on the tablet with a serious look on his face, as if something big had happened. I moved closer with some curiosity.
"Did something happen in the villa?" She wanted to move closer to see the contents on the tablet in Qin Lou's hand. Could something big happen just after she finished chatting with the system?
She left her tablet in the room and didn't bring it with her.
Shi Jiu leaned his head against his hand. Qin Lou was originally concentrating on checking the information above, when he suddenly felt someone leaning against his arm and a warm breath flowing around him.
Qin Lou's slender fingers paused, and he tilted the tablet slightly. "I'm thinking about hosting more activities like the food platter event."
"Ah, that promotion is pretty good. Although the price is a bit high, the recent weather has also helped. Sales are quite good, and we received quite a few crystal cores."
Speaking of the platter event, Shi Jiu's attention was immediately diverted. "I happened to see someone preparing to have hot pot today. I haven't had it in a long time. How about having a staff dinner tonight? I made a lot of snacks yesterday!"
She thought carefully about the number of people, there were only a few, but she didn't know if they could leave. She would go and ask later.
As for hot pot base, this kind of semi-finished product is also sold in the mall, and she has plenty of fresh meat and vegetables.
"Let's go, Xiao Qin. Let's prepare something hot tonight!" After saying that, she no longer admired the flowers in front of her. She was still more attracted by the food.
Qin Lou followed behind her and felt for the first time the meaning of the word "fickle".
Thinking of my mood just now, the corners of my mouth curled up unconsciously, but were suppressed the next second. Well, it’s good that nothing happened.
Eating hot pot is also good.
Everyone was taking a break at that time, so she sent messages to the others, asking if they had time to eat hotpot together around 6 o'clock in the evening. It would also be a good opportunity to keep in touch with each other.
We have been working together for so many days. Although it is just a cooperative relationship between employee and superior, appropriate emotional connection is still necessary.
Soon, the other four people sent messages saying that they were all available to attend and expressed their anticipation for the dinner tonight.
Qin Lou didn't need to ask any more questions. He was now helping her organize the ingredients, prepare everything, and move them into her living room.
"Come on, come in this way." Shi Jiu opened the door of his room, facing the living room and kitchen, which were rarely used on weekdays.
Because as soon as she entered the door, she went straight to the master bedroom to wash up and rest. She usually prepared three meals a day in the dining room. Yesterday, she just had a sudden impulse and spent several hours in the kitchen to make a few snacks.
This was the first time Qin Lou entered Shi Jiu's room. The room was decorated in a normal style, without too many decorations or fancy colors. Everything seemed very ordinary.
But in this ordinariness, he felt a sense of warmth, compared to the minimalist colors and layout of his room.
"Come, have a drink of water. We will eat at this long table tonight. Would you like to try the snacks I made first?" Shi Jiu took out the dessert from the refrigerator without waiting for Qin Lou's reply.
"It's still fresh cheesecake, come and try it." The triangular-shaped cake looks delicate and cute on the small plate. It is soft and sweet when you take a bite.
The author has something to say:
Maybe a romance?
