Chapter 118 I have nothing to do after eating
Li Zhi: [How's the store business these past two days?]
Zhou Xian: [We're flooded with orders every day. I'm at home packing and shipping from morning till night. I don't go anywhere except for taking my big orange for a walk.]
Li Zhi: [You're so busy, why don't you hire someone to help you? I'll pay him a salary every month.]
Zhou Xian: [I was just about to tell you about this. I really need to find someone to help with packing and shipping. I'll spend the next couple of days looking for someone.]
Li Zhi: [Okay, thank you for your hard work. It's up to you.]
Zhou Xian: [It's not hard at all. I used to have nothing to do all day, but now I'm quite fulfilled helping you run this store.]
Li Zhi: [How about I treat you to dinner tomorrow night and give you some of the lucky charms I've drawn.]
Zhou Xian: [Okay, Master Li, please send me your location when the time comes.]
Li Zhi: [Okay.]
Li Zhi put down her phone, turned to look at Li Yanjing who was sitting on the sofa, and said, "I've invited Zhou Xian out for dinner tomorrow night. Do you want to come with me?"
Li Yanjing tilted his head, his black eyes clear and pure, "Is there something wrong?"
"Nothing, just a simple meal, and I gave him some lucky charms." Li Zhi stood up from the chair. "Come to think of it, we haven't seen him for a long time."
She and Zhou Xian haven't seen each other since she was discharged from the hospital, which is more than a month.
On weekdays, the amulets he received were delivered directly to him by the driver from home.
Li Yanjing was about to nod and say yes, but suddenly he remembered something, frowned, and said, "Didn't you say that Dad asked you to have dinner with him tonight?"
"Uh..." Li Zhi reacted, "I forgot about this for a moment."
"Do we need to change the time?" Li Yanjing asked.
Li Zhi touched her chin with her slender hand and thought for a moment, "No need, why don't we just get together and eat?"
"Then you should talk to both sides and ask for their opinions first. If not, then we can only eat separately." Li Yanjing said.
"Okay, I'll tell them now." Li Zhi turned around, reached out to pick up the phone on the table again, opened WeChat, and sent a message to Xie Tingzhou first.
[I just forgot about my dinner date with you tomorrow night. I've already made an appointment with Dachengzi to have dinner with me. If you don't mind, how about we go out together tomorrow night?]
Xie Tingzhou: [Okay, but why did you suddenly ask him out for dinner?]
Li Zhi: [He's been helping me run the shop selling talisman paper behind the scenes. He's been working really hard, so I'm treating him to a meal to express my gratitude.]
Xie Tingzhou: [Did you know each other in real life before?]
Li Zhi: [I know him. We were in the same ward together.]
Xie Tingzhou: [Okay, I'll pick you up tomorrow night.]
Li Zhi: [Okay, but I need to ask Dachengzi again. If he doesn't agree, then we can move it to the day after tomorrow.]
Xie Tingzhou: [Okay.]
Li Zhi exited the chat interface with him, clicked on the one with Zhou Xian, tapped the screen quickly with her fingers, and sent him a message.
[I'm bringing my family to dinner tomorrow night. Do you mind?]
Zhou Xian looked at the message from Li Zhi, thinking it was about bringing her son. "I don't mind, Master Li, if you want to bring him, it's more fun with more people."
Li Zhi: [Okay.]
......
The other side.
After Zhou Xian finished chatting with Li Zhi, he just put down his phone when he heard the doorbell ring.
He stood up from the sofa, walked to the entrance, stopped, and opened the door.
When she saw who was standing outside the door, she was stunned for a moment, then reacted and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, "Mom, why are you here?"
"What's with that expression on your face? Let me see what's wrong with you," said Zhou's mother.
Zhou Xian scratched his hair and turned sideways, "No, why didn't you tell me beforehand that you were coming?"
Mother Zhou walked in with her bag slung over her shoulder. "I'm telling you in advance that you're definitely going to find all sorts of excuses not to let me come."
Zhou Xian touched the tip of his nose and coughed lightly, "How could it be?"
"I don't know what you've been busy with lately. Before, you used to come home every few days to see me and your dad, but now you don't even come home..."
Mother Zhou walked inside as she spoke, but when she saw the scene in the living room, she couldn't help but frown.
The ground was filled with express boxes, leaving almost no place to stand, and there were also unfolded cardboards piled in the corners.
She stopped, turned around and looked at her son who was following behind her, and asked, "No, Zhou Xian, what's going on in your living room?"
"Didn't you say I haven't been home recently? That's because I set up an online store. I'm busy processing orders and shipping them every day, so I don't have time to go home." Zhou Xian explained, "The things on the ground are all packed and haven't been shipped yet."
"Opening an online store? And you pack and ship it yourself?" Zhou's mother couldn't understand. In her opinion, it was completely forced. "Are you full and have nothing to do, or are you short of money?"
Zhou Xian chuckled, "Mom, you're right. I really have nothing to do after eating."
Zhou's mother: "......"
Zhou Xian put his hands on her shoulders and pushed her to sit on the sofa. "Hey, Mom, please sit down first. I'll go get you a cup of tea."
"No, I'm not thirsty." Mother Zhou put down her bag and her eyes fell on the box on the coffee table. She frowned again, "Why is this box full of talisman paper? What did you buy this for?"
"This is what I sell in my online store." Zhou Xian said.
Mother Zhou was even more confused now. She looked away and turned to look at him. "No, why are you selling talisman paper when your online store can sell anything else? You're not an expert in this field."
She paused, then suddenly thought of something. She cast a suspicious look at him and continued, "Zhou Xian, you're not trying to cheat me, are you?"
Zhou Xian expressed his injustice, "Oh my god, what are you thinking? I'm not short of money, why would I cheat and deceive others?"
"Then why do you want to sell this talisman paper?" asked Zhou's mother.
"Didn't my brother give you and dad an amulet each?" Zhou Xian said.
Mother Zhou nodded. "I know. Your brother said he got it from a very powerful master."
Zhou Xian clapped his hands, "Yes, I'm helping that master manage his online store now. The talisman paper in this box is the same as the one I gave you."
Mother Zhou's eyes flashed with surprise, and she said in disbelief, "This master also opened an online store to sell talisman paper?"
"Of course not. This master broadcasts fortune-telling live online every day, so she opened an online store to sell these talisman papers." Zhou Xian explained.
Zhou's mother originally thought it was a master from a Taoist temple or a Buddhist monastery, but she didn't expect it to be someone who was broadcasting fortune-telling live online. She couldn't help but doubt its authenticity, "Could you two brothers have been fooled? Is this a real master?"
