Chu Xi recalled the two years she had spent with Xiaolu, and she missed them deeply. She spoke to Xiaoluo, who had regained consciousness but was still unable to communicate, for a long time. The well-behaved little Shitou also listened attentively to her mother...
"Whether you're Little Green or not, since you inherited its energy core and followed me, I'll still call you Little Green..."
"I just hope you grow up quickly and recover soon, so we can go wandering and exploring together..."
"I have a lot of crystal cores here. They're your favorite snack from the apocalypse. But you haven't recovered yet, so I don't dare give them to you. They might be poisonous..."
After a long time, Chu Xi brought Xiao Shitou back to the house and arranged for Xiao Shitou to go in and study again. Then Chu Xi flashed out of the space. After such a long time, Gao Shi's people should have cleared the goods and the payment should have been settled.
I arrived at Gao Shi's residence, a relatively spacious courtyard, with ease.
“Knock, knock…”
Chu Xi knocked gently on the door, and soon heard footsteps from inside. Looking at the anxious expression on his face, Chu Xi was puzzled. What was going on?
The door was suddenly opened from the inside, and a handsome face appeared in front of him. He was dressed casually but looked calm. But what did that relieved expression mean?
"What's wrong? You seem to be in a hurry?"
"Nothing, as long as you're okay, go ahead and talk..."
The gentleman who was so familiar with her seemed rather rude to her, but what about that look around before closing the door? Was he planning something bad to me?
Robbery? Or rape? I'm not afraid. Even beneath Chu Xi's smiling face, there's a hint of eager anticipation. Come on, come on, let me show you how I punish you and then take your property...
Unfortunately, she actually knew that this noble man was definitely not that kind of person, and his character must be very reliable...
Sure enough, the hermit who had closed the door quickly returned to the house and explained the reason in a low voice.
"I heard a big boss has arrived in the city these days. He's a big shot with a serious formality style, so the county is conducting stricter inspections this time. I'll shut down the market first and we'll see what happens after the storm has died down..."
Chu Xi looked at him suspiciously. She had just come from Wang Tao's black market that morning. There were a lot of people there, and she didn't find anything unusual.
"How did you know? I just passed by another place and it seemed quite crowded."
"I heard about this from a good friend of mine. He's the son of an official and his information is very reliable. We often go out together..."
Chu Xi immediately understood. This was a deliberate attempt to establish good connections. It was indeed easy to get things done with someone in the court. Wang Tao probably hadn't heard about this yet...
"You have to be more careful here. You have a lot of goods. If you are discovered, it will be a big problem. Those people are all vampires. Once they smell the fish, they will want to eat you up and squeeze you completely..."
Gao Shi was actually very worried about this extremely beautiful girl, but he didn't know how her family could let such a girl do such dangerous things...
"Okay, I'll keep an eye on it. The warehouse should be quite hidden, so just be careful. We've collected a lot of good antiques, too. We can continue to collect them after the news has died down, and we can still settle the bill with payment."
Every time Chu Xi came to deliver goods, the happiest thing was receiving those antiques, which often brought her surprises...
Gao Shi quickly took out the remaining payment from the inner room and settled it. It was another large box of banknotes. There was no other way. There was no currency with high denomination in this era...
Chu Xi did not stay for too long. She was beginning to worry about Wang Tao. She hoped that nothing would go wrong and that he would be smarter.
Wang Tao is a rare business partner. Over the past year or so, he has helped this supplier, who provides almost zero cost, earn a lot of money...
However, what you think of often comes true, and good things often don't work, but bad things do. This is called the "Law of Attraction" in the psychology she read.
But Chu Xi, who had opened up her spiritual power, had already discovered that Wang Tao's black market was in chaos...
