She took the package out and saw the red stamp on it. Suddenly, she remembered that in her previous life, she had seen it mentioned on TV that the whole country was covered in red during this period, and that it was very valuable for collection.

Some thoughts began to form in my mind.

On the other side, Gu Xichen went to complete the formalities, signed the papers, and was about to leave when he saw a familiar figure.

"Gu, Gu Xichen, Xichen!"

Huang Tao thought he had misread it and checked again and again.
