Ying Gu left the office, but Liu Zixuan didn't rush to come down from the roof.
He was pondering a question: Did Ying Gu come to find Zhou Nian because of the Willow Association Token, or was she really attracted by Zhou Nian's charm?
Wu Mei directly said that Ying Gu had an unconventional affection for men, seemingly just to satisfy physical needs!
But the way she just talked to Zhou Nian didn't seem like it!
However, Liu Zixuan did get a piece of useful information: that Willow Association Token is crucial for Ying Gu!
He mulled it over while walking downstairs, and when he reached the bottom, Zhou Nian was already waiting.
"Once inside, just hand the stuff to my dad."
Liu Zixuan glanced at the prepared ginseng and Polygonum multiflorum, chuckled, and said, "Alright, let's trick your dad once. He's probably still savoring it and won't care too much!"
"It's all your fault, otherwise I wouldn't be tricking my dad!" Zhou Nian pouted and walked into the office with Liu Zixuan.
Zhou Nian was sitting in the chair, smiling happily, not at all like someone who had just recovered from a serious illness!
Seeing them come in, he asked, "What were you guys doing just now?"
"Zhou Nian said the light bulb in his room was broken, so I went to change it." Liu Zixuan didn't mention what he just saw and handed the two boxes to Zhou Nian, "Here you go, young master won't take your treasures, you stingy old man!"
"That's more like it!"
Just as Zhou Nian said, Zhou was so pleased he didn't even open the boxes to look, directly hugging them and walking toward the secret room. When he reached the door, he smiled and said, "I'm in a good mood today, won't bicker with you! Take my treasures again, and I'll fight you to the death!"
"I've already taken possession of your most important treasures!" Liu Zixuan teased, pulling Zhou Nian into an embrace!
"Whatever!" Zhou said, directly walking into the secret room.
Angry, Zhou Nian picked up an antique vase nearby and smashed it on the ground, "Zhou, from today on, do your own cooking, do your own laundry, I won't serve you anymore!"
After saying this, Zhou Nian furiously walked outside and returned to his own room!
One can't blame Zhou Nian for being angry. Zhou indeed was overboard, valuing treasures over his own daughter! Anyone would be upset to hear that!
A moment later, Zhou came out from inside, frowning and asking, "Besides taking those two herbs, you must have taken something else!"
Liu Zixuan didn't hide and directly took out the Willow Association Token, waving it in front of Zhou Nian.
"You mean this?"
"Give it back to me!" Zhou Nian said sternly, "You can't take this; I need to find a chance to return it!"
"Return it to Ying Gu?"
"You weren't here just now; she came to me and said this thing is very important and keeping it will invite disaster!" Zhou Nian said solemnly.
Liu Zixuan smiled mysteriously, "Leaving it with you indeed invites disaster, but with me, it's different!"
"Alright, just pretend you've never seen this token; I'm taking it."
Seeing Liu Zixuan about to leave, Zhou hurriedly stopped him, "What… did that just mean?"
"You'll find out in the future."
"No, you have to explain it today!"
Liu Zixuan smirked, "You should just focus on flirting and doing business. Some things are better left unknown. Knowing your character, it won't do you any good to know more. But I'd advise you to stay away from Ying Gu; she's not as simple as you think!"
"The housekeeper of the Willow Association." Zhou Nian looked up at Liu Zixuan, "Is the issue she mentioned related to you?"
"Sort of!" Liu Zixuan smiled, "Don't ask anymore, I won't say more. Just pretend you never saw this token."
"Suit yourself!" That token, Zhou Nian only took it because he found it pretty and didn't know it was related to the Willow Association. Now that he knows, he naturally loses interest.
As long as it doesn't cause him trouble, everything else is irrelevant!
Just preparing to wave Liu Zixuan away, suddenly seeing the broken vase on the ground, he exploded, "What the heck happened here! My blue and white porcelain! My Hong Dynasty blue and white porcelain!"
"You value treasures more than your own daughter. If it were me, I wouldn't just break the vase, I'd smash your entire Treasure Hall!" Liu Zixuan chuckled and walked towards the exit.
Zhou Nian couldn't care about anything else, sitting on the ground holding the broken vase pieces, almost on the verge of tears, shouting, "My Hong Dynasty blue and white porcelain! It's killing me with heartache!"
Even walking in the hallway, you could hear Zhou Nian's wails, and Liu Zixuan muttered to himself, "What a miser!"
The time spent at Treasure Hall was indeed long. It was still broad daylight when he came, but it was already dusk when he left!
Liu Zixuan called Liu Ruyan, and upon learning they were still at the company, he drove straight to Xiumei Company.
When he arrived at the company, the scene before him had Liu Zixuan slightly astonished!
The staircase to the second floor, the entire corridor on the second floor, and several offices were all piled up with large boxes and parcels!
It was quite an effort to find a path to the office, where he asked, "What's going on here?"
"Don't even mention it, we're extremely busy!"
Jiang Yiyi looked a bit frazzled and muttered, "Just got two shipments of new lingerie line from Lingxiu Village, one batch for women, another for men, all the latest designs! We don't have a storage room, so we can only pile them up here!"
Liu Zixuan slapped his forehead, "No problem, pick a few people from the company first. I talked to Wang Kun about the Yuqing City branch yesterday; they have office space and a warehouse there. Just arrange for a few people to take the lingerie over!"
"Really!" Jiang Yiyi showed a hint of excitement.
"Didn't Ruyan tell you?"
"No time yet! We've been busy ever since we got back!" Liu Ruyan said with a smile.
"This is great. If the branch can help share the load, this side can definitely be more manageable!" Jiang Yiyi said with a smile, "I've already chosen the candidates, but after sending people over, we'll need to recruit more here. Additionally, we must quickly find a new office space! If we're doing this, it's best to have a building of our own!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Zixuan furrowed his brows, "Wait a bit. At the moment, we shouldn't be too flamboyant!"
"Anyway, this matter is up to you," Jiang Yiyi said, just as Liu Ruyan walked over to Liu Zixuan, "By the way, Mengyu just called; she said she has something to discuss with you!"
