What Kind of Person Was He, Anyway?

"Okay, that's enough for now. Let's meet again next time."

At her doorstep, Zhou Na spoke with a smile.

"Okay, let's meet again next time." Qi Zixiao was looking forward to the next meeting~ Then... she opened the door, went in, and closed the door, all done very skillfully and in one go.

Zhou Na: "..."

"This guy."

She chuckled, "Is this some kind of stereotypical straight man?"

Normally, shouldn't the person offering to take the woman home be the one to do it? At the very least, they should at least pretend to offer to take her home.

Of course, Zhou Na wasn't angry. They weren't boyfriend and girlfriend, so why should she be angry?

But she was a little curious: would Lin Fan, with his straight-laced, unambitious attitude, be able to find a girlfriend in the future?

"That's not right either. He's rich now, and he certainly doesn't lack women."

Stretching and yawning, Zhou Na's stunning figure was on full display under the moonlight as she strolled away.

The next day, early morning.

Qi Zixiao woke up early.

She didn't use an alarm clock because she didn't need one at all; she could keep track of time down to the second even without looking at the clock.

After washing up and having breakfast, we headed to the jade shop.

Not long after I arrived, Qin Ya came over.

Lin Fan had given a detailed introduction, so Qi Zixiao naturally recognized him and immediately went up to him. "Sister Qin, why are you here so early?"

"I'll deliver the signboard to you first, and then I'll bring you the person."

Qin Ya pointed to the two people behind her carrying a sign covered by a red cloth, then handed her a card. "There's 100 million in this card, that should be enough for you today. If it's not enough, I'll get you some more later."

Thank you.

One hundred million!

Qi Zixiao took the bank card, a sense of unease creeping into her mind.

Having a rich woman help you is so comfortable!

"Alright, just remember to get the Jade Muscle Cream ready for me as soon as possible. Besides, this is a loan to you, so there's no need to thank me."

Qin Ya lowered her voice and said, "Then I'll go contact the raw stone supplier first. As for your signboard, you can hang it up as you see fit."

"Okay~"

Qin Ya walked away in her high heels, while Qi Zixiao came up to the two people and suddenly lifted the red cloth.

Four large, gilded characters, written in a vigorous, dragon-like style, came into view.

"Fan Xiao Jade Shop?"

Qi Zixiao felt a surge of disgust. "What a terrible name! Is this a combination of his name and mine?"

"Besides, even if we were to get married, why isn't my name listed first?"

"That guy... he's awful!"

She felt intense disgust towards it.

But he didn't notice at all that the corners of his mouth had already turned up in a smile.

"Hang it up for me."

"Okay, boss, please step aside, we'll get started right away!"

A few minutes later, the sign was hung up, and the shop instantly came to life.

However, the shop was empty, with nothing but a counter and tables and chairs for people to rest, making it look particularly shabby.

As time went by, many commuters passed by and, seeing the newly opened shop, craned their necks to look inside.

They were all quite surprised to find nothing there.

"Selling jade? There's nothing here, and you call this a business opening?"

"Wow, this is the first time I've seen something like this. Normally, they wouldn't be hanging up a plaque or opening the door at this time, right?"

"It's really quite strange."

Passersby were curious, and nearby shopkeepers were even more curious.

This area is known as Jade and Antique Street, so everyone knows each other. Business is slow this morning, and many people are gathered together, pointing and discussing.

"Fan Xiao Jade Shop? What the heck is that? Wasn't that shop bought by Qin Ya at a high price?"

"Yes, the information should be correct. It was Qin Ya who acquired it. How did it change hands?"

"Fan Xiao Jade Shop, the name sounds a bit crazy at first glance, but in reality, it seems a bit arrogant!" someone muttered.

Those around him immediately pressed, "What do you mean?"

"Let's take it apart and see."

"Fan, needless to say, ordinary, mortal or anything like that, the key is the 'Xiao' in 'Fanxiao'!"

"What does the word Xiao mean? It means cloud, sky, etc. Jiuxiao Yunwai is the best explanation. It starts with the word Fan, followed by the word Xiao..."

"What, are you implying that his jade is 'heavenly' compared to ordinary, common jade? Isn't that arrogance?"

"Hey... you have to admit, this is seriously crazy!"

"What's the use of being arrogant? At first glance, there's nothing there. I'm afraid it won't be open for long before it has to close down."

"Look at this! It's such a huge jade shop, and it looks like it's open for business, but what happened? Not even a single flower basket... Hey, either it was a blunder, or they're completely out of staff!"

Those in the same industry are rivals.

Although they still don't know who this colleague is, they believe it won't do them any good.

Since that's the case, then of course there are some things I don't like.

Lin Fan never expected that a name he casually came up with on a whim would be interpreted in such a way.

I swear to God!

He was a complete idiot, which is why he thought of combining his name with Qi Zixiao's name and just randomly came up with a name.

After all, the two of them are practically one now, aren't they?

Qi Zixiao sat in the rest area, silently calculating how she should act to obtain the most Pseudo Spiritual Stone at the lowest cost.

Outside the door, many people craned their necks to look, but naturally, no one came in.

Until... when it was almost nine o'clock, someone arrived.

"Na-jie?"

Qi Zixiao was stunned. "Why are you here?"

"Hey, your shop's opening, shouldn't I offer my congratulations?"

Zhou Na rolled her eyes. "I say you're being a bit unfair, not telling me about this. If Qin Ya hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known."

"This..."

Qi Zixiao blinked.

How could she possibly know any of this?

Qi Zixiao wasn't an idiot when it came to social etiquette, but she wasn't far off either. She could only laugh it off and brush it off.

"At the same time, outside the door, two exquisite flower baskets, which looked quite valuable, were placed on the left and right sides respectively."

It was decorated with colorful ribbons that read, "Zhou Na wishes Fan Xiao Jade Shop a prosperous opening."

Qi Zixiao ran out to take a look and immediately beamed with joy. "Na-jie's idea is so thoughtful! I was wondering what was missing..."

During her time on Earth, she had seen other people open for business, and she had always felt that something was missing. Now she realized it was something like flower baskets.

And it's too deserted.

"I really wonder if you've gone stupid from reading too much."

Zhou Na muttered something to herself, then said, "You haven't hired a couple of salespeople or anything? It's really rather deserted."

"Isn't that unnecessary?"

Qi Zixiao quoted Lin Fan: "The main purpose is to collect raw stones. It's enough to collect them once every six days. As for selling them, I estimate that we won't be able to sell many."

"I really don't understand you."

Zhou Na exclaimed in surprise, "This raw stone business is a bottomless pit, yet you only buy and don't sell much... So, your family is actually a hidden tycoon?"

"Or did your ancestors leave you some kind of treasure map with several cartloads of gold inside?"

Qi Zixiao: "..."

How do I respond to that?

I need help urgently.

Fortunately, someone came to the rescue...

Outside the door, another flower basket was delivered, but this time it was no longer from Zhou Na; it was from Qin Ya.

Then, one after another, people brought flower baskets, all of which were very exquisite and of great value.

"This is...?"

Qi Zixiao was slightly stunned.

"Your other rich sisters gave them to you, right?" Zhou Na chuckled to herself. "Qin Ya told us everything. With your situation today, it's definitely not going to be a flop."

"..."

Okay!

Qi Zixiao blinked. Looking at it this way, it seems like I'm being kept by a rich woman, not that guy?

More and more flower baskets are appearing.

The number of people is also increasing.

Jin Ruyu, Dong Xiaozhu, Shi Wenke and other wealthy women all came.

Most of the people in the group came directly, and those who couldn't come did so because they had other commitments, but they still sent flower baskets and blessings...

This is why Lin Fan had already introduced them all in the video comments; otherwise, Qi Zixiao would have definitely given herself away.

Even though she had been introduced, she still felt extremely uncomfortable being surrounded by a group of wealthy women with ridiculously flawless skin...

It looks like there's an imbalance between yin and yang.

This forced her to keep a low profile, to the point of being constantly secretive, in order to avoid giving herself away.

And outside the door...

The shop owners who had initially been watching the spectacle and enjoying the show gradually realized something was amiss.

"What's going on?!"

They looked at each other, completely bewildered.

"This isn't a misunderstanding, is this a real opening?! So there's no stock at all, what is he going to sell?!"

"It felt like there were quite a few wealthy ladies inside. Could it be that all the stuff is upstairs?"

"That makes sense."

"Wow, so many flower baskets!"

At first, they thought it was a mistake and that it wasn't the opening day, but when they saw the many flower baskets and the numerous "ladies" who had come to their door...

In an instant, their eyes turned green with envy!

We're all in this business, everyone has a sharp eye. That flower basket is obviously very valuable, definitely a top-quality product.

Those noble ladies who went in...

With fair skin, beautiful appearance, and a powerful aura, she is definitely someone with exceptional wealth.

How strong is the spending power of these people?

That's incredibly powerful!

Normally, they would wait and wait for a "high-class lady" of this caliber to come and spend money in their store.

Now, a newly opened store is filled with wealthy women?!

That's going too far!

"So many exquisite flower baskets... they're all displayed on the street. I want to see who sent them, so extravagant!"

The owner of Mei Yu Zhai next door went over.

Once he took the lead, the others followed suit...

It's just for fun, what's the big deal? You can't just stop people from watching, can you?

but...

They had just arrived and were stunned after reading the inscriptions on several flower baskets. They all deeply regretted coming.

"Liu... Liu Qingqing? Which Liu Qingqing?"

"Could she be the top property manager in our city?"

"It must be a coincidence of names... Why would someone condescend to send a flower basket to such a small shop?"

"That makes sense, holy crap?! The second to last one, Shi Wenke? Isn't that the big shot in medicinal herbs?"

"Wait, look at the others..."

"Jin Ruyu, Dong Xiaozhu... even Qin Ya received a flower basket?!"

"Really?!"

They were completely stunned.
