Xia Ping saw her a bit nervous and smiled, "Relax a little, our requirements here are strict, but if it doesn’t work out this time, you can always come back. Don’t be too nervous."
What were meant to be reassuring words made Chu Lian burst into tears, "I, I can’t help but be nervous, sister. You don’t know, my stepfather is in a hurry to marry me off to an old man. If I don’t find a job quickly, I’m finished."
Xia Ping was shocked. "He’s making you marry an old man? How could he do that?"
Now the doctor and deputy director of the place, Xia Ping hurriedly brought some medicinal solution over and asked the girl, "What happened to you? Did something happen on the road?"
The young girl’s eyes immediately reddened, "I... it was my stepfather who hit me. Sister, let’s talk about the recruitment first."
She didn’t want to talk about it, so, naturally, Xia Ping didn’t press her. She nodded gently, "Alright, you queue up first."
Though the young girl was pitiful, she still had to wait in line.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t be fair to the others.
When it was the young girl’s turn, Xia Ping smiled and said, "Please tell me your name, age, and specialty."
The young girl spoke timidly, "My name is Chu Lian, I am eighteen years old, and my specialty is acupuncture technique."
In the midst of Lee Mi’s surprise, Han Muchuan had already clearly explained the situation once over, then he asked, "Mimi, what do you think about this matter?"
How could Lee Mi tell Han Muchuan the truth in such a situation?
Telling him the truth would not be to her advantage.
To say that she could join forces with him to obtain the Mustard Space, but from another perspective, he could also become a hindrance to her gaining the Mustard Space.
She, ah, preferred to scheme on her own. In case her plans went awry and she needed his help, she would turn to him then.
She smiled and said, "I think your analysis is very accurate. The parchment might just be a joke. Otherwise, why would it be kept in that place instead of being passed down as a family heirloom? Or, just tear it up and only protect the jade ornaments."
Lee Mi spoke sincerely, and her smile was just as genuine.
Han Muchuan was convinced in an instant, and he felt that she had no reason to deceive him.
Because of Lee Mi’s words, Han Muchuan’s doubts disappeared completely.
But Lee Mi’s concern had just begun.
Knowing who has the Mustard Space was a good thing, but... Meng Chuyue and Shen Ci were both ruthless characters, and it would be very hard for her to take action.
No, to be able to return to the Cultivation World, she was willing to risk everything.
She planned to undergo facial reconstruction and then get close to Meng Chuyue to try and steal the Mustard Space by chance.
Lee Mi thought , not out of foolishness, but because Meng Chuyue was indeed very difficult to approach now.
For an enemy like Lee Mi, let alone stealing her Mustard Space, it was doubtful she could even touch the hem of her garment.
Han Muchuan asked incredulously, "They’ve already moved? Who do those fruit trees belong to now, and who are you working for?"
"We naturally work for the owner of this land, um, our boss bought these fruit trees. It was very cheap, as there was no need to dig them up, saving time and effort. The price was only half that of others’. Yep, our boss is really lucky."
The gatekeeper Shen Ci’s words had no loopholes, but Han Muchuan and Han Jin decided to observe for a few more days without dispelling their doubts.
They returned to Hai City’s urban area to investigate for a few days, then went to the farm on the outskirts again.
At that time, the two gatekeepers were weighing fruits for a group of customers who had come to buy high-quality produce.
Shen Ci’s gatekeeper saw them and smiled slightly, "Oh, it’s you again. Why have you come back? Are you here to buy some high-quality fruit?"
Han Muchuan was astonished, "Can we just buy it ?"
"Of course, as long as you pay."
Han Muchuan quickly asked, "How much per pound?"
The gatekeeper Shen Ci smiled, "Originally, it was fifty yuan per pound, but since we’ve had a good supply recently, it’s dropped to forty yuan per pound."
