Chapter 533 Small Business

Zhou Xingxing ultimately did not place an order to entrust David’s Wanshiwuwu to help him with his homework.

 First, he realized that if he gave his homework to others to help him write, he would have fewer excuses to find Teacher He.

 Second, Wanshiwu’s fees are too expensive.

 “Wow! So expensive? You might as well grab it!”

 “Wrong! It’s more profitable than robbing!”

“Didn’t you say that starting this company is just for fun, and making money is not the most important thing?”

“Making money is indeed not the main thing, but you can’t help but make money.”

After chatting with Zhou Xingxing for a while, and deciding on the style of the company's signboard and business cards with Cheng Leer, a group of people went directly to a nearby restaurant to have dinner.

The two men were accompanied by several beautiful women, which was quite eye-catching. Although Zhou Xingxing knew that he was just passing by, he still felt very cool. He felt refreshed after a meal, and it was as refreshing as he wanted.

 In addition, things have gone relatively smoothly at school recently. The only thing that is not going well is that the case I am responsible for still has no clue.

Zhou Xingxing continued to lurk in Edinburgh Middle School to look for clues. After printing a stack of business cards and putting up a signboard, David's Wanshiwu finally officially opened its doors for business.

 “Should we hire an assistant or secretary?”

"You must hire someone. I have already sent out the recruitment advertisement. I will work part-time for a few days during this period." Cheng Leer slapped the newspaper in his hand on the desk and pointed to the advertisement he had posted.

 The headlines on the front page are quite eye-catching.

"I originally wanted to fight for a month, but my dad said that only a week is enough, and a month is not enough."

"The old gentleman is right. Based on the habits of Xiangjiang people, advertising for a month continuously will really make people feel disgusted." Xiangjiang is not a big place, but both the number of newspapers and the sales of newspapers are amazing. Almost all Xiangjiang people Everyone has the habit of reading newspapers, and everyone even orders several newspapers.

In this case, a front-page advertisement for a week can basically radiate to the entire Hong Kong.

 A month in a row really doesn’t make sense.

David opened the newspaper and took a look. In addition to the advertisement introducing Wanshiwu, it also included a recruitment advertisement: Wanshiwu is recruiting an assistant and front desk person. The salary is negotiable.

 It comes with an address and contact number. Since it is a company phone number, the contact time is limited. Do not call this number outside this time period, and no one will answer the call.

 “It doesn’t look very reliable.”

David, the boss, thinks this strange company is unreliable, let alone ordinary people. It is estimated that most people have similar thoughts after seeing this advertisement, and regard it as a boring prank by some rich young men.

 In fact, Cheng Leer also felt that this company was more like a joke, but her original intention was not to make Wanshiwu bigger and stronger, but to find a reason to spend a long time with David.

Just like now, she said that the company may have many people coming for interviews in the future. As the boss, David should not run around recently and sit in the company until the only staff member is identified.

“Can I just leave this matter to you?”

 “You are the big boss, of course it is up to you to decide!”

 Two people were discussing the interview when a man with a prominent nose walked in.

 Because there are currently only two people in the company, when David and Cheng Leer were talking, the office was left open in order to see outside.

 So after Jack came in, he quickly found the rightful owner.

 “Congratulations, great opening.”

David stood up and said a few polite words: "I'm so happy, I want to lend you some good words." Looking behind him, he found that Allen, a very popular local singer, had also arrived. He placed the flower basket at the door and was looking at the side. flower basket.

That flower basket was sent by Cheng Leer's father, Cheng Yuntao. Considering that Jack and Allen chased Leer back then, they must know who Cheng Yuntao is.

As expected, Allen had a strange expression on his face when he saw the flower basket, but after so many years, he didn’t struggle with it all the time. He quickly put on a smile and congratulated David.

David is his savior. He has to come to support the company no matter what, even if he is in a special situation and there are always a bunch of people following him wherever he goes.

 Coupled with being a celebrity himself, Allen's appearance has attracted the attention of people from other companies on the same floor.

 “I’m sorry, I can’t stay too long.”

"It doesn't matter."

 The fact that Allen came proved that he was a grateful person. After chatting for a few words, Allen said goodbye to everyone and left.

"Alan is very busy. I took some time to come here today on the way to the show." Although they usually taunted and stabbed each other, Jack would still explain a few words to Allen at this time.

"I understand that celebrities basically don't have any private time." David looked at Jack. He didn't mean to leave. Could it be that he had business concerns?

“As I told you last time, I hope you can help me get some amulets…”

 “Oh, please wait a moment for this matter.”

David turned around and walked into the office, then sat at the desk and opened the drawer on the side. Using the cover of the desk, he took out a few stones that had been prepared in advance.

 Alchemy activates!

 The faint light flashed away, and by the time David put the stones on the table, they had turned into several pendants. There is a cross, a five-pointed star array, a jade Buddha, a jade Guanyin, and a small sword.

There were all kinds of shapes, all presented to Jack.

 “Which look do you like?”

“Shape?” Jack looked at the pile of pendants and was about to ask what the effects of these amulets were when he heard this sentence? "Just choose the look?"

 “Yes, just pick the one you like.”

Jack has finished choosing, so that he can infuse the holy light into it to make it a truly powerful amulet. Otherwise, this thing is just a simple pendant.

   …”

Jack looked at the pendants in front of him and asked David directly: "Can I want them all?"

“That’s fine, but the price is not cheap, and the functions of these pendants are the same. Are you sure you want them all?”

David was so frank, which made Jack even more embarrassed to change his story.

“I want them all, as long as they are effective and the price is not a problem, I can prepare more just in case.”

 “Okay, just wait a moment.”

David raised his hand slightly, and several pendants suddenly floated into the air in front of Jack and Cheng Leer, and slowly flew to the top of David's palm.

As a ball of golden light emitted from David's palm, surrounding these pendants, Jack, who was sitting opposite, swallowed involuntarily. The sound was so loud that it seemed to spread throughout the entire floor.

 Actually, it was because both of them were so frightened by this magical sight that they did not dare to speak out, which made the sound obvious.

 A few seconds later, the golden light dissipated, and the pendant was still suspended in the air.

 But unlike before, these pendants seem to have undergone special changes.

Jack felt that the cross was filled with a holy atmosphere, the Jade Buddha felt fiery, the Jade Guanyin felt gentle and peaceful, and the five-pointed star array was mysterious.

The sharpest thing is the small sword, which gives a dazzling feeling at a glance.

Don’t you mean that the effects of these pendants are the same?

“You take care of my business like this, so I can’t cheat you. In addition to protecting you from evil spirits, these amulets also have other effects.”

The cross restrains dark creatures, the Jade Buddha targets ghosts, the Jade Guanyin can protect you from evil spirits, and the five-pointed star array can teleport you to a safe place when your life is in crisis.

“As for this small sword, it contains the purest and most refined holy light. If you encounter a particularly powerful evil creature, use this small sword to ensure that no zombie or devil can withstand a single blow.”

"so smart?"

"It's so powerful, but this amulet is not like the others. It can protect yourself when hung on your body. It will only be effective if you take the initiative to recite the mantra."

Jack played with the small sword in his hand and found that the strange feeling before was indeed no longer felt. At this time, it looked like an ordinary pendant: "What formula?"

“As long as you hold this sword, point it at the enemy, and shout, ‘Holy Light, this enemy is worth fighting!’ it can be activated.”

"so?"

"right."

David watched Jack put away several amulets one by one, and after hanging the Jade Guanyin around his neck, the business was finally settled.

“You don’t have to ask me to pay the bill, just talk to Leer directly.”

Cheng Leer was overjoyed when he heard this. David even handed over the financial power to him. This shows that he is getting closer to her and is one step closer to defeating Sophia.

As for the price, an amulet cost ten thousand pounds, but no one thought that David sold it too much.

As long as this thing is as powerful as David said, people will rush to buy it even if it is 100,000 pounds, not to mention 10,000 pounds.

As long as Jack continues to run around the world and have adventures, he will soon discover that these amulets are more powerful than he thought. They are equivalent to buying several lives for tens of thousands of pounds, which is a huge profit.

"That's right." Jack, who still didn't know that he had gained several lives in vain, was still not satisfied. He turned his attention to David's magical pocket again: "Would you sell that treasure that can hold so many things? "

"It can be sold, but it can't be bought with money." David didn't make any excuses and directly said that if you want this thing, it's not impossible, but the price cannot be solved by simply giving money.

"That's it!" Jack was not surprised. Such a powerful treasure could not be called a priceless treasure, and it certainly could not be bought for tens or hundreds of thousands.

Even if you can shell out hundreds of millions of pounds, it’s unclear whether the other party is willing to sell it. It will definitely have to be exchanged for some rare treasure or something more important.

Thinking of this, he stopped worrying about this thing and just carried his luggage or drove his various belongings!

 After the business was finished, Jack and David had a casual chat and then said goodbye to the two of them.

 He is leaving Xiangjiang again. As for where he will go next, he himself does not know.

 “See you soon!”
