"I want to bring Hou Li along too, what do you think?" Lin Ziqi asked.
"You mean the monthly sales champion who just arrived?" Xu Lili thought for a moment and said.
"Yeah, I think her abilities are quite good."
"As long as you like her. I just don't know what the benefits will be over there?"
"It should only be better, not worse, right? I didn't ask for specifics. You can find a rich husband once you get there."
"I do have that idea, but I don't know who would fancy a country bumpkin like me?"
"You are already very outstanding. If you are a country bumpkin, then aren't we even worse than country bumpkins?"
"Should we inform Manager Guo about this?"
"I need to get your consent first. If you don't agree, it's hard for me to talk to Yang Zi."
"As long as you let me go, I will definitely go. You also know that I want to earn more dowry money. If the benefits are too low, I won't go."
"I will mention this to Yang Zi. Then it's settled. I'll ask Hou Li if she's willing to go in a moment. If she agrees, we'll prepare to go and see in the next two days. If it's suitable, we'll stay, and if not, we'll come back."
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Not long after Xu Lili left, Guo Xuyang and Xiao Yun walked in.
"Where is Hui Ge? I don't see him?" Guo Xuyang asked.
"He went out, what's up?"
"Nothing. Aren't you preparing to send you to Shanghai? I need to communicate this with him in advance. So he won't be too busy when the time comes."
"Mm. You guys wait here for a while? Or you can call him."
"We won't sit, we'll go down and come back. Who are you planning to send? Have you decided?"
"I just spoke with Xu Lili, and she agreed to go, but she has some ideas about the benefits."
"If she goes, she will work as your deputy. Her salary will be calculated based on your turnover. If she does well, it won't be less than here." Guo Xuyang remembered Xu Lili, the bridesmaid, and said.
"That would be great. I haven't asked the other one yet, I'll call you after I ask her."
"That works. Then you carry on, I'll go out for a walk."
"Are you eating lunch here?" Lin Ziqi glanced at the time and said.
"No, we have other things to do. We're leaving." Guo Xuyang and Xiao Yun left the 4s store together.
"Where are you going?"
"King's Villa. I'm going to see how many raw stones are left there?"
"Less than half, right? Sales were quite large during the pre-holiday promotion, more than half must have been sold."
"In that case, we'll have to go out again to get some raw stones."
"Aren't you leaving soon? There's no time. If you want to go out, it has to be after you return from your trip."
"Mm, I'll think about it when I get back. You call Xia Li first, see if she's there?" Because Guo Xuyang allowed Xia Li to not work in person in Kyoto and Shanghai when there was no jade business, that's why he said that.
Xiao Yun dialed Xia Li's number.
"Where are you? Home? Which home? Okay, Yang Zi and I are going to King's Villa to take a look, can you come out? Alright, see you in a bit."
"She's at her mother's house, helping to coax her nephew," Xiao Yun said after hanging up.
"I knew she might not be at the villa. Let's go, we'll be there soon, and she should be here too. Are you hungry?"
"I didn't eat breakfast, so I'm starving. What do you want to eat?"
"The lamb soup at the foot of the mountain is good, shall we eat there? Ask Xia Li if she has eaten, and if not, invite her to join. Never mind, I'll ask, you drive. Let's go eat first." Guo Xuyang said, dialing Xia Li's phone.
"Yang Zi, I've just come downstairs, and it will take a while to get there."
"No need to rush. I'm calling to ask if you've eaten?"
"Not yet. My mom just finished cooking, and when Sister Yun called, I came downstairs without eating."
"Then let's go to the lamb soup restaurant at the foot of the mountain, we haven't eaten either."
"Okay, I'll drive over now."
When Xia Li arrived at the restaurant, Guo Xuyang had already eaten most of his meal.
"Boss, another twenty jin of cooked mutton, don't cut it, I'll take it with me later."
"Yang Zi, you're still not full? Why do you need so much mutton?" Xia Li asked with a puzzled expression.
"The mutton here is good. I'm going on a business trip, and it can be preserved for later by air-drying."
"How will you carry it?"
"I have my ways. Hurry up and eat, it will get cold soon." Guo Xuyang urged and went to the boss.
"Boss, leave your phone number. From today onwards, set aside fifty jin of cooked mutton for me every day. I'll pick it up myself or have someone pick it up for me." The boss was naturally very happy to have business and directly gave his phone number to Guo Xuyang.
Guo Xuyang dialed it and said, "This is my phone number, please save it. When the mutton is cooked, you can call me. How much is it?"
"Twenty-two jin of mutton, four dishes. Two thousand three hundred is fine, the rice is free," the boss said, scribbling on a piece of paper.
"Okay," Guo Xuyang said and transferred the money.
"Yang Zi, we don't have many raw stones left over there, when do you think we should go out again?" Xia Li asked.
"Eat first, then we can go and see. After I return from my trip, we can go to Myanmar again to see if there are any suitable raw stones there?"
"I wonder when this year's public auction will be?"
"You can check it online, and you'll know." Guo Xuyang said and checked online. Unexpectedly, the Myanmar public auction was scheduled for the eleventh of next month. If the mission goes smoothly, he would be able to make it back in time.
"This year's Myanmar public auction starts early, on the eleventh of next month."
"Will you be able to make it back?" Xiao Yun asked.
"Probably. It depends on what the mission is this time?"
"You guys returned in less than ten days last time, this time shouldn't be too long?"
"It's hard to say. We'll see then. If I really can't make it back, I'll have Manager Wu and Fatty take you two there, and you can just buy some open-lot jade."
"In that case, we won't earn much money."
"Earning a little less is better than having no way to earn."
"Alright. I'll contact Manager Wu then."
"After eating, tell him right away and ask him to prepare in advance."
"No problem."
After eating, the group headed to King's Villa. Guo Xuyang followed the two to the villa's raw stone storage and saw that there really wasn't much left, only about a third. When he saw the Pakan old pit raw stones, his heart stirred. Why bother with all that trouble when he had his abilities?
"We're full and have nothing else to do, let's go upstairs and rest," Guo Xuyang said. The other two blushed.
