Indeed, after all, she’s a foster daughter, she might not have been raised in poverty, but her financial situation definitely isn’t as comfortable as it was before.
Even me, a blood son of the Mo family, was raised frugally. For her, a foster daughter, it’s normal to have tighter finances than before.
Thinking this way, Mo Weiran’s gaze at Gu Zhiqi suddenly changed, looking at her with a sympathy born of shared circumstances.
Feeling his gaze, Gu Zhiqi turned her head and glanced at him, "Is there something you want?"
Mo Weiran immediately shook his head, his face full of sympathy as he looked at Gu Zhiqi, "No, nothing. Just make sure to eat a lot later."
Ignoring Mo Weiran, she took out her mobile phone and messaged Su Yunling.
"Eh? Where did you get that phone from?" Mo Weiran had been watching Gu Zhiqi and blinked in surprise when he saw her suddenly take out a phone. He almost thought he’d seen wrong.
In the end, Mo Weiran even rubbed his eyes, only to realize he hadn’t made a mistake, she really did have an extra phone in her hand.
Evening gowns don’t have pockets, and she didn’t bring a handbag, so where did her phone come from?
"I’ve had it in my hand the whole time," Gu Zhiqi replied perfunctorily.
"Is that... so?" He hesitated slightly.
Gu Zhiqi didn’t respond and lowered her eyes to look at her phone. Seeing this, Mo Weiran was a bit puzzled, but he didn’t ask any further questions.
Gu Zhiqi had already sent Su Yunling two messages.
[Child: First day on the job, requesting start of work]
[Child: You can send me any Cultivation Techniques you think have issues for review]
Being at a boring social gathering wasn’t as good as fixing mental methods to make money.
The message had just been sent when Su Yunling replied.
[Su Yunling: It might take some time, don’t wait for the message all the time]
Gu Zhiqi replied with an "Oh" and didn’t wait for more messages. Instead, she opened the fortune-telling app and started dealing with today’s orders.
After completing her tasks, Su Yunling went to meet with Lord City Lu, and then a strategy meeting was called. She saw Gu Zhiqi’s message as soon as the meeting ended.
Seeing that the message was from Gu Zhiqi, she didn’t leave the meeting room right away but sat down and busily replied to Gu Zhiqi’s message.
After sending her reply, noticing that Fu Xiyan and Tang Yichen were still in the meeting room, Su Yunling looked at them and directly said, "Do any of your subordinates need their mental methods repaired? If so, compile a list and send it to me... I mean to Xiao Qi."
She had intended to have them send the list directly to Gu Zhiqi, but for some reason, she ended up changing her words at the last moment.
It was only after speaking that Su Yunling realized, belatedly, that she could sometimes speak faster than she thought.
She didn’t quite understand what had just happened to her.
"What? Really? Gu Xiaoxi has agreed to help our people repair their mental methods?" Tang Yichen, not noticing Su Yunling’s abrupt change of wording, simply got excited and happily asked Su Yunling a question.
Hearing Tang Yichen’s words, Su Yunling temporarily set aside her confusion, her lips curving slightly in an indifferent smile, "We have to pay her, of course."
Upon hearing this, Tang Yichen clicked his tongue lightly, a knowing look on his face, "Of course, we definitely won’t let Gu Xiaoxi work for free."
Fu Xiyan also nodded in agreement, and then both Fu Xiyan and Tang Yichen took out their mobile phones and hunched over them, beginning to compile the mental methods.
"Let’s get one thing clear first, if she is unwilling to repair a mental method, we can’t force her." There were many mental methods in the Ever Winning Army; if they really let the child fix all of them, it would inevitably be an endless task.
Everything must be done according to her wishes.
"Third Brother, don’t worry, we understand this," Tang Yichen said while he messaged his subordinates.
