Xia Ruofei's last gift was an abalone.
This was obviously not an ordinary abalone, because in such a big vacuum bag, there was only one heavy dry abalone. It weighed more than 600 grams, and it was a true one-headed abalone.
Xu Lang took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Xia, I'll accept the wine and the shad, but this one-headed abalone is too expensive. You should keep it!"
Last time at the auction in Hong Kong, the cheapest one-headed abalone was sold for nearly three million Hong Kong dollars. It was indeed quite precious.
But speaking of which, Xu Lang's remuneration for those rich people in Hong Kong was also very high. Although it might not be as high as three million Hong Kong dollars each time, and it was not as simple as this trip to the three mountains, it was still very common to see a reward of one or two million Hong Kong dollars.
Of course, it was one thing to accept money, and it was another thing to do it out of friendship.
This time, Xu Lang did not intend to accept Xia Ruofei's remuneration. Now that he had accepted the money, Xu Lang felt that it was inappropriate for him to take out a gift that was worth more than the normal remuneration.
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Uncle Xu, this is a token of my sincerity. If you don't accept it … then I really don't dare to ask for your help next time! Also, the Peach Blossom Guild in the capital doesn't dare to trouble you … "
Xu Lang smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Xia, even if I help people with their feng shui, the fee is not that high! Your company's one-headed abalone is very famous in Hong Kong. I know that at the last Hengfeng Auction, such a one-headed abalone could not be bought without three million Hong Kong dollars. "
Xia Ruofei shrugged and said, "As you said, this is the auction price. This abalone is a product sold by my company. The cost is far less than that. It's just that the rarer something is, the more expensive it is!"
Then, Xia Ruofei said, "Besides … didn't you just say that we are friends? Since they were friends, there was no need to be so calculative! You can just treat it as a visit between friends. It just so happens that the fruit trees in my house have ripened. Then, when you went back, I picked some fruits for you … In fact, this is the nature of the matter! "
Although Xia Ruofei's metaphor was very vivid, how could an ordinary fruit be compared to a precious abalone?
Even though Xia Ruofei repeatedly emphasized that 3 million HK dollars was only the auction price, the problem was that this was now a seller's market. The one-headed abalone was simply priceless. As long as Xia Ruofei was willing, he could exchange this one-headed abalone for no less than 3 million HK dollars.
Xu Lang thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Xia, this is really too precious... If you used this abalone to entertain me, then I would have accepted it shamelessly, but if you gave it to me directly..."
Xia Ruofei said meaningfully, "Uncle Xu, you are really treating me as an outsider! If we were to calculate it so clearly, Uncle Xu's words at our Taoyuan Club's groundbreaking ceremony were worth more than 3 million HK dollars. This is just a little token of my appreciation. You can accept it with a clear conscience! "
At the groundbreaking ceremony, Xu Lang took the initiative to stand up for the Taoyuan Club and praised that piece of land to the heavens, dispelling the negative impact of the previous rumors.
Although Xu Lang was telling the truth, his position in the metaphysics world was extraordinary. His words were equivalent to advertising for the Taoyuan Club. To be honest, even if Xia Ruofei and the others took out 3 million Huaxia dollars for publicity, it would definitely not be as effective as Xu Lang's words.
Xu Lang said, "I was just telling the truth, Xia …"
Xia Ruofei interrupted Xu Lang and said, "Uncle Xu, let's not push it back and forth! The next time I go to Hong Kong, you can treat me to a big meal! Courtesy demands reciprocity! If you delay any longer, you will miss your flight! Anyway, if you don't accept it today, don't even think about leaving Sanshan! "
After that, Xia Ruofei directly put the abalone into the incubator, then handed it to Ah Yuan and said, "Let's go! We still have to deal with the consignment of fresh produce! Time is a little tight! "
Xu Lang saw that Xia Ruofei's attitude was firm, so he could only say, "Okay! Thank you, Mr. Xia … I'll accept it with shame! "
"That's right!" Xia Ruofei beamed.
The reason why Xia Ruofei gave such a precious gift was that, on the one hand, he didn't want to owe anyone a favor. On the other hand, he wanted to be on good terms with Xu Lang.
Although the abalone seemed precious, Xia Ruofei could obtain it at any time if he wanted. Especially now that he had the Time Array Flag and the Primordial Stage, he could accelerate the flow of time by two thousand times. He could "ripen" the abalone in a short period of time.
The abalone in the sea of space would continue to reproduce, so the "raw materials" could be said to be inexhaustible. Therefore, to Xia Ruofei, the abalone was nothing.
The three of them left the parking lot and walked into the airport hall.
Ah Yuan quickly processed the boarding pass. At the same time, she checked in the fresh food incubator and two bottles of Noble Rotten Wine into the incubator and checked in together.
Xia Ruofei waited for Xu Lang and Ah Yuan to pass through the security check before waving goodbye to them. Then, he turned around and left the airport hall.
Back in the Knight XV off-road vehicle, Xia Ruofei started the engine while communicating with Xia Qing with his divine thoughts. "Xia Qing, how is the cultivation of the Heart Condensing Grass?"
Xia Qing had been taking care of the Heart Condensing Grass for the past three days and had temporarily put aside other matters. After Xia Ruofei asked, he immediately replied, "Master, it should be done in a while!"
"How many spirit crystals have been consumed?" Xia Ruofei asked with concern.
Spirit crystals were too precious. Even a little consumption would make Xia Ruofei's heart ache.
Xia Qing replied, "Master, don't worry. It's about the same as what we expected! Now that the fourth spirit crystal has just been consumed, I estimate that when the Heart Condensing Grass matures, there will still be about half a spirit crystal left! "
Xia Ruofei was slightly relieved. Although it was very painful to consume four and a half spirit crystals, it was still within his "budget".
"Continue to take care of the Heart Condensing Grass. Don't make any mistakes at the last minute." Xia Ruofei said, "When the Heart Condensing Grass matures, inform me immediately!"
"Yes, master!" Xia Qing replied.
Xia Ruofei started the car and left the airport, heading in the direction of Taoyuan Farm.
When he returned to the farm, the sky was already dark. However, Xia Ruofei could see from afar that many offices in the comprehensive office building were still lit. The cafeteria on the first floor was still open.
It turned out that it was confirmed in the morning that the relocation would take place in three days. Therefore, Dong Yun immediately started the relocation work after returning to the farm. Everyone was willing to work overtime today to organize their personal belongings and documents in their computers.
Dong Yun also specifically informed the cafeteria to postpone the closing time for today.
Seeing that the cafeteria was still "open", Xia Ruofei was too lazy to go back to get food. He drove directly to the entrance of the comprehensive office building, walked up the stairs quickly, and walked into the cafeteria on the first floor.
Seeing Xia Ruofei come in, Mrs. Cao quickly greeted him.
Xia Ruofei said, "Mrs. Cao, just get me some porridge and side dishes. I ate too greasy for lunch."
"Okay!" Mrs. Cao said. Then she turned around and asked the kitchen staff to prepare dinner for Xia Ruofei.
Xia Ruofei asked, "Are there many people eating today?"
Mrs. Cao said, "Fewer than usual, but many departments called and said that their people were working overtime. They asked us to keep the food warm and wait for them for a while …"
Then Mrs. Cao muttered, "These guys heard that they were moving to the city to work, and they were all very excited … But no matter how busy they are, they still have to eat! Can't they work overtime after dinner? "
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "This time, the migration time is tight. Everyone is working overtime! And sometimes, when the data transfer is halfway done, they can't just leave. They have to finish it before they can leave! Mrs. Cao, you have to work hard these two days! "
"We don't have to work hard!" Mrs. Cao said with a smile, "We just have to go home a little later! There's nothing to do at night. I just feel sorry for these girls and young men. People are iron, rice is steel! "
"That's right, that's right." Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "After dinner, I'll go upstairs and ask those who haven't eaten yet to come down!"
Xia Ruofei usually didn't put on airs. Even if Mrs. Cao was just a cafeteria staff member, he could still chat with her for a long time.
Soon, the porridge and side dishes that Xia Ruofei ordered were served. After he finished eating, he stepped upstairs and walked around the office area.
Sure enough, many people were working overtime to organize things. Dong Yun didn't go home after work. Instead, she walked around the office area of each department and kept assigning work.
"Boss Dong!" Xia Ruofei waved at Dong Yun.
Dong Yun came over and said, "Chairman, why did you come here personally? Don't worry! There will be no problem with the migration in three days! "
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "I was a little worried that the time was too tight and everyone was tired. Now it seems that my worry was right. I heard that many people didn't go down for dinner and are working overtime in the office. How can this be? You can ask all the staff who haven't eaten to go to the cafeteria. If there is any work that can't be done without people, ask the staff who have eaten to take over for a while! "
Dong Yun was also a person who was very focused on work. She didn't even have dinner herself. In fact, she didn't even notice that it was already dark outside.
After listening to Xia Ruofei's words, Dong Yun raised her hand and looked at her watch. She said with some embarrassment, "Chairman, I know! I will arrange it now! "
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "Pay attention to the balance between work and rest. If the workload is too heavy, some things can be pushed back. In three days, the most important thing is the unveiling ceremony. After that, most of the things will be moved in. It will be enough if the company can maintain normal operations. The rest can be slowly moved in later!"
Xia Ruofei was worried that Dong Yun was too obsessed with perfection and would tire the company out.
"Okay, Chairman," Dong Yun said seriously. However, Xia Ruofei wasn't sure whether she listened or not.
"Go and ask everyone to eat first!" Xia Ruofei said, "By the way, I will go to my office to pack up the personal belongings in a while. You can deal with the rest of the things as you see fit."
"Understood!" Dong Yun said.
After Xia Ruofei finished speaking, he turned and left the large office area and went to his own office. Dong Yun asked the employees who hadn't had time to eat to put down the things at hand and go downstairs to the cafeteria for dinner.
In fact, Xia Ruofei didn't have many personal belongings in the office. He was used to storing some of the things he used frequently in the Ring-Tu space so that he could access them at any time no matter where he went.
Xia Ruofei tidied up a little in the office. He could have put these things directly in the Ring-Tu space, but he thought about it and felt that he couldn't leave empty-handed after tidying up for so long. The employees would inevitably be suspicious when they saw it.
Therefore, Xia Ruofei went to the corridor and found a cardboard box. Because they had already planned to move the headquarters, Dong Yun had customized a batch of cardboard boxes printed with the Taoyuan Company's logo in advance. Today, everyone started to tidy up. These cardboard boxes were moved out of the warehouse and placed in the corridor of the office area. Those who needed them could access them at any time.
Xia Ruofei put everything into the cardboard box and then walked downstairs with the cardboard box in his arms.
As he walked, Xia Ruofei's mind was also filled with a scene that he often saw in TV dramas. A person who was fired by the company gloomily packed up his personal belongings and then walked away with the cardboard box in his arms. The other colleagues looked at him with sympathy, indifference, and gloating …
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but laugh. His current appearance was really a bit like the unlucky person often seen in TV dramas.
Xia Ruofei came to the cafeteria. There were already many employees in the cafeteria. Dong Yun was also having dinner.
When they saw Xia Ruofei come in, the employees greeted him. Xia Ruofei also smiled at them as he walked towards Dong Yun.
After briefly asking if anyone was still working overtime with an empty stomach and learning that all the employees who hadn't eaten were here, Xia Ruofei also gave the key to his office to Dong Yun. Then, he gave everyone a few words of encouragement and returned to the villa with the cardboard box in his arms.
Just as Xia Ruofei was packing up, Xia Qing had already informed him that the Heart Condensing Grass had matured.
Therefore, when he returned to the villa, Xia Ruofei directly placed the cardboard box on the coffee table in the living room. Then, he quickly went upstairs, locked the doors and windows, and summoned the Ring-Tu space. With a thought, he entered the space.
Primordial Realm.
At that moment, the Time Array flags surrounding the Heart Condensing Grass had already been removed. The Heart Condensing Grass in the center of the array formation was similar to what he saw when he first came to Spirit Map Island in the upper realm.
As the Primordial Realm also had a 30-fold faster time flow, the Heart Condensing Grass absorbed spirit energy very quickly. Therefore, the Spirit Gathering Array Formation was not removed. The Spirit Crystals that were set up around the array formation were also not taken away.
One of the Spirit Crystals was intact, but the luster of the other was much dimmer. Clearly, more than half of the spirit energy inside had been absorbed.
There were Spirit Crystals in the other areas, but now, there was only a small pile of ashes that didn't contain any spirit energy.
