Chapter 204: Chapter 204: Engagement

Gu Jin froze.

A strange emotion welled up in her heart. She slowly lifted her hand, hugged Lu Siyao back and patted her shoulder,

"Okay."

"Jin’er just wait! One day I will become very powerful and protect you and Siyao."

"Okay, I am waiting." Gu Jin said with a smile.

Liang Bao made a vomiting sound and said,

"If you continue any further, I will break up!"

Lu Siyao rolled her eyes,

"You are just jealous of me."

But she backed away from Gu Jin.

"Now should we talk about the treasure hunt we are about to go on?" Liang Bao asked with excitement in her eyes.

"Yes, let’s get back to business. The Psychomindris plan is set, but the treasure hunt is a whole new adventure. We need to prepare thoroughly." Lu Siyao said

Gu Jin nodded and said,

"How about this I will make the list of things we need to collect, and then we three will separately go to find the items. This will save us time.

As for the date of departure, we will set out tonight, what do you say?"

All three of them have already filled out the admission form for the university in which they want to be admitted.

Their freshman year will start after 2 months.

Till then they could roam around and hunt down treasures!

Gu Jin didn’t dare to claim herself to be powerful in Capital City, just because her net worth is 60 billion.

At most, she could be counted as slightly better than the average middle class.

While on Earth 3 trillion yuan could be considered as the net worth of the richest man. In the magic world, 60 billion yuan was just a drop in the ocean compared to the true powerhouses.

Liang Bao nodded eagerly.

"That sounds like a solid plan. I’ll focus on gathering some high-quality defensive artifacts. We need to be prepared for any traps or hostile creatures we might encounter."

Lu Siyao added,

"I’ll take care of the offensive gear. I’ve got some connections who can help us get the best weapons and tools. We need to be ready to fight if necessary."

Gu Jin smiled at her friend’s enthusiasm.

"I’ll handle the healing potions and any other basic supplies we might need."

The trio quickly put together a list of items they would need for their treasure hunt.

Once they parted, Gu Jin wasn’t in a hurry.

Over 3 years, she gradually collected many supplies.

From vegetable seeds to rare herbs and even some unique magical artifacts, her space was a treasure trove.

Not to mention, Gu Jin also realized that space has books related to technology too.

However Gu Jin didn’t have much time to read them, she only asked for the space to list all the parts one needs to make any machine and buy them.

Anyways, after accumulating resources for Si Kai and Ying Yue in the past 3 years, there were always some spare changes, so Gu Jin used them to buy machine parts...

What if one day she got stuck on some strange island again?

At least she won’t be bored if she if those parts.

She has also stocked up herbs that she might require to make higher-ranking pills.

It could be said that other than focusing on magic, alchemy, her alchemy shops, physical cultivation, magic seeking, and mana cultivation, Gu Jin focused on as much restocking as she could.

Whether it was ready-made clothes or ready-made packaged long-shelf-life food, Gu Jin did her best to collect them.

However, even then Gu Jin was only able to stock up to 25%. (According to Gu Jin).

Gu Jin asked the space to pack 3 sets of separate supplies and put them in 3 different storage rings, changed into Su Jin’s disguise, and then went to the alchemy shops.

The previous small alchemy shop gradually expanded and now was of considerable size.

The shop was converted into a building and had 3 floors. The first floor was for ordinary customers, while the second floor was for VIP guests.

The third floor was the office.

Gu Jin entered the shop and walked up to the 3rd floor.

The receptionist at the counter couldn’t help but make a face.

One of the staff who was standing nearby asked,

"What happened Mi’er?"

Bai Mi shook her head,

"Nothing."

However, she kept on staring at Gu Jin’s back.

The staff member named Ruby felt as if Bai Mi had some gossip and asked,

"Come on! You can tell me!"

Bai Mi hesitated before saying,

"That young man just now who went to the 3rd floor...and who claims to be the best friend of Owner Song, I think he is up to no good!

Not to mention, his smooth skin, makes me wonder whether is he truly a man or not..."

......

Gu Jin entered Song Hancheng’s office directly and said,

"Boss Song-"

Midway through her sentence she paused, then her face turned a bit red and she walked out.

Song Hancheng’s face turned red, while Su Qing pushed him away.

She glared at him and scolded him,

"I told you, it was not a good idea to do such a thing in the office! But you! You stupid person wants to experience a thrill! Now are you happy? Did you experience the thrill you wanted to?"

Song Hancheng instantly admitted his mistake,

"I am sorry wife! I was just anxious and couldn’t control myself!"

Su Qing rolled her eyes and hurriedly walked out.

She invited Gu Jin in.

Gu Jin’s face was still red but there was no expression on her face and she said calmly,

"Next time I will knock on the door before entering."

Song Hancheng showed a row of white teeth and said in a happy tone,

"Thank you, Boss Su!"

Su Qing glared at Song Hancheng,

"You!"

Song Hancheng instantly restrained his smile and changed the topic,

"Boss Su, you have come at the right time, I was about to invite you for a discussion regarding the acquisition of the shop in the capital city."

Gu Jin nodded.

"Boss Su just as you had asked me, I found 2 floor shop of supermarket size. However, the owner is not ready to sell the shop for 10 billion. He is demanding 15 billion."

Gu Jin wasn’t surprised and said as if she had expected it,

"Try to negotiate to 12 billion, if he still refuses then find some other shop. Even if the shop size is small, it will still be okay."

They can’t just put their entire energy into finding shops.

Even if they have already dealt with the matter of certification, there are much more complex matters to handle.

"Alright, I’ll handle the negotiation," Song Hancheng said, taking notes.

"But let’s move on to the next topic. We need to discuss the upcoming product launch. We have some new..."

For the next 2 hours, Gu Jin and Song Hancheng were busy discussing business matters.

At the end of the discussion, Song Hancheng passed Gu Jin a card.

With a shy expression on his face, Song Hancheng announced,

"Boss Su, next month, Su Qing and I are going to be engaged, please do come."

Su Qing stopped glaring at Song Hancheng and nodded,

"Yes, Boss Su please do come."

She was very happy that she could marry Song Hancheng.

Thank god that day Song Hancheng bought pills from Boss Su.

Thank god that day she confessed to Song Hancheng.

And thank god Song Hancheng followed Boss Su and even asked her to follow him. In the past 3 years, things become better for her.

Her father was completely cured.

Her net worth increased to 100 million a year and she was named as prodigy of alchemy.

All this was thanks to two people.

Song Hancheng and Su Jin.

One was her lover and the other was like a brother to her.

In the past 3 years, she could vaguely feel, that Su Jin always treated her as a little sister.

He would protect her just like Song Hancheng, help her, and dote on her, but there was never any romantic feeling from his side.

At first Song Hancheng was a bit insecure and decided to directly confront Su Jin about his intentions.

However, after their conversation, Song Hancheng’s worries were put to rest, and he realized that Su Jin genuinely saw Su Qing as a sister and had no romantic inclinations toward her.

Su Qing wasn’t fully assured.

That was until...she knew a secret about her boss.

Su Qing smiled and held Gu Jin’s,

"Boss Gu, please do come."

Gu Jin nodded. Looking at the car, she was filled with emotion and looked at Song Hancheng seriously,

"If you ever bullied Qing’er, I will deal with you properly."

Song Hancheng stomped his feet and said,

"Boss you are too biased! Just like Qing’er, I am your dear employee, but why does she get all the attention while I get a warning?"

Su Qing rolled her eyes and started to bicker.
