After the divorce, I became a mountain god

After a while, Xu Boan filled several water tanks of the Cui Valley people with water, and then stopped.

But in the eyes of the little people, the waterfall lasted for a long time and was so loud that the little people were excited. It took a long time for the waterfall to stop.

After Xu Boan filled the water tank, he used a rice measurer from the kitchen to scoop out some rice and flour, then gently placed them on the open space next to the little ones.

Before the little people could react, they saw the sky covered by darkness again, and then they saw two more piles of things. Because Xu Boan had rewarded them with some food last time and there were many people present at that time, they immediately recognized that the two piles of things in front of them were fragrant rice and fine wheat noodles.

Seeing this, the little people couldn't help but cheer.

Luo Li was very excited when he saw this, and he spoke on behalf of the tribesmen first: "Grandpa Mountain God is so kind, thank you for giving us food and water!"

Xu Boan said: "Okay, nothing else, I'll leave first!"

When Luo Li and the other little people heard this, they all bowed to the ground and piously shouted in unison: "Farewell, Grandpa Mountain God!"

After kneeling for a while, they found that they had not received any response or further instructions from the Mountain God, and they knew that the Mountain God must have left. Then they stood up and ran, happily looking at the food and water that the Mountain God had rewarded them with.

Although some people have witnessed the scene when the mountain god bestows gifts before, they are still excited to experience this heaven-sent delicacy again.

Some of the little ones who had not seen the Mountain God’s presence last time because they were out were stunned with astonishment.

"Oh my god, so much food, much more than last time."

"Is this... rice from the fairyland? It's so big. Could it be grown by the giant spirit?"

"Fine wheat flour! Such white fine wheat flour! I have never seen flour this white in my life! It is whiter than snow and salt! It is truly worthy of being the food of the immortals. We in the mortal world can never grow such food."

"Grandpa Mountain God is so benevolent, his life will last as long as the heavens!"

"We have to eat these good things sparingly. It's not a festival, so we can't waste them."

"Hey, that's right, and we can't take these things for nothing. The Mountain God has done us a favor, so we have to find a way to do something for him."

"That makes sense. I agree. Let's discuss it carefully."

In fact, Xu Bo'an had not left yet. He had been staying to observe the movements of the little ones. Seeing how happy and satisfied the little ones were when they saw the rice, flour and water, Xu Bo'an couldn't help but smile.

I have to say, helping others is really a happy thing! The emotional value is fully maximized.

After withdrawing from the bonsai world, Xu Boan looked at the clothes that the Cui Valley people had just handed to him. Although they did feel good to the touch, Xu Boan really didn't know much about clothing fabrics. He only knew that they were good, but he couldn't say what was good about them or what kind of value they had.

As he stroked the thin clothes, he suddenly thought of Chen Pingping. Although he did not understand the value of these clothes, Chen Pingping not only studied fashion design, but also had her own clothing store for many years. Now, with her own investment, she has opened several branches. She must be able to tell the value of these clothes at a glance.

Thinking of this, Xu Boan took out his cell phone and called Chen Pingping.

Chen Pingping, who was on her way to the clothing store, picked up the phone immediately when she saw that it was Xu Bo'an calling, and said, "Mr. Xu, you are such a busy man, and you finally remembered to call me?"

Xu Boan smiled and said, "I think you are the busy person now!"

Chen Pingping smiled and said, "You know what, I've been quite busy lately. I'm on my way to the clothing store right now! What do you want to talk to me about?"

Xu Boan looked at the time. It was only eight o'clock in the morning. Xu Boan remembered that most clothing stores would not open until nine o'clock at the earliest. Chen Pingping was really dedicated.

Xu Boan said directly: "I just brought back some clothes. They feel very comfortable to the touch, but I don't know what the quality and value are. If it's convenient for you now, can you come over and help take a look?"

Chen Pingping specializes in clothing, so of course he is very interested in appreciating clothing. After all, the more he looks, the deeper his understanding of clothing will be. What's more, the person who called him was Xu Bo'an, who was his clothing investor and a reliable financial sponsor. Chen Pingping had no reason not to go.

So Chen Pingping quickly said, "Okay, since it's you, Mr. Xu, who asked me to go, how can I not go? Any time is convenient. I'll go there now!"

Xu Bo'an was not polite and immediately responded: "Okay, then I'll wait for you in the house in the Central Courtyard."

About ten minutes later, Chen Pingping arrived at the central courtyard where Xu Boan was. After ringing the doorbell, Xu Boan opened the door when he saw it was Chen Pingping.

When Xu Bo'an saw Chen Pingping, he smiled and joked, "Busy man, you're here. Long time no see!"

Chen Pingping walked in, lowered her head and changed her slippers while saying a little embarrassedly, "Yes, it's true that I haven't seen you for a while. I'm really sorry. I've been a little careless at home. I've been so busy lately!"

Xu Boan said, "I don't have anything to do here. You are busy with work, which is a good thing. It means that the business in the store is good!" Chen Pingping heard what Xu Boan said, and a trace of melancholy appeared on her face and said, "Alas... Online clothing stores are very popular recently, mainly because their prices are much cheaper than our offline stores. You said that we invested a lot of money to buy the storefront, and then we also invested in decoration fees, water and electricity fees, sales staff wages, travel expenses for purchasing goods, etc.
Although the clothing store is not losing money as far as the clothes are concerned, the profit margin is too low. If this continues, we may not be able to make back the money we invested in the next few years!
You were willing to invest money to let me do this business because you trusted me, and I was confident in myself, but the clothing industry was changing too fast. With the knowledge I had acquired while in school, I could still run my small store, but after expanding several branches, I realized that my ability was far from enough.

After realizing my shortcomings, I have been constantly learning knowledge in fashion design, management, sales, etc., and then spreading the knowledge to the employees below. I am really afraid that I will not do well, and I am even more afraid that you, the investor, will lose confidence in me, so I have been very busy recently!"

Xu Bo'an's investment in Chen Pingping was just a spur of the moment decision. He thought Chen Pingping was more reliable and was in the clothing business, so he thought of investing some money in her to help him expand his business and realize his own wishes.

If he made a profit, that would be even better. If he lost money, he would not say much. After all, in business, there are gains and losses. This is a very normal thing. What's more, the money Xu Boan invested in Chen Pingping's clothing was just a drop in the ocean in his eyes. Even if he lost money, it would not have any impact on his life.

But this amount of money was an astronomical figure in Chen Pingping's eyes. She didn't want Xu Bo'an's investment to go to waste, and she didn't want her dream to die before it was realized. So she was under great pressure and kept studying.

Xu Bo'an waited for Chen Pingping to finish speaking, then comforted Chen Pingping softly, "I was wondering why you looked a lot more haggard. You don't have to work so hard. It's impossible to make a 100% profit in business. Just be open-minded and learn slowly. There's no need to push yourself so hard! Eat well, sleep well and take good care of your body every day. For the rest, just do your best and leave the rest to fate!"

When Chen Pingping heard the comforting words from investor Xu Boan, she felt a warm current flowing through her heart. She had been working too hard during this period and had completely neglected her body. She had to work and study for sixteen hours every day, and her whole body was often stiff.

At this moment, she was a little defensive when she heard Xu Boan's words, and her eyes were full of gratitude when she looked at Xu Boan.

If a normal boss invested so much money, he would want you to work 24 hours a day, and even then he would still think that the exploitation was not enough.

But Xu Boan, who invested so much money in himself, didn't show any worry on his face after he explained the current situation of the clothing store. On the contrary, he comforted himself. Such a good boss would be hard to find even with a lantern.

Chen Pingping was so moved that she almost cried, tears welling up in her eyes. Then she looked at Xu Bo'an with gratitude and said, "Thank you so much, Mr. Xu. It is a blessing for me to have a boss like you."

The two chatted for a while upstairs, and Chen Pingping took the initiative to ask Xu Bo'an: "By the way, Mr. Xu, where are the clothes you brought back? Let me see now!"

In fact, Xu Boan took the clothes out of the Bonsai World and placed them in the innermost position of the sofa in the living room. However, when Chen Pingping came in and greeted Xu Boan, she only paid attention to Xu Boan and did not notice the clothes placed in the corner.

Xu Boan said: "It's on the sofa downstairs!"

Chen Pingping said: "Then let's go downstairs and take a look together!"

Xu Boan nodded and said, "Okay."

Then the two of them walked downstairs together and came to the innermost part of the sofa. Xu Bo'an pointed at the clothes placed there and said to Chen Pingping, "These are it. What do you think?"

Chen Pingping picked up one of the clothes and carefully measured it, then looked at the other clothes on the sofa. After a while, she exclaimed, stared at Xu Bo'an with wide eyes, and asked, "Where did you get this dress from?"

Seeing Chen Pingping's expression, Xu Bo'an said thoughtfully, "Looking at your expression, I guess these clothes are probably pretty good!"

Chen Pingping held the clothes tightly in his hands and rubbed them gently, and said to Xu Bo'an with emotion: "What do you mean by good? The fabrics of these clothes are the most high-end fabrics in the clothing industry, 'heavy crepe mulberry silk'.
I have come across it in a class when I was in college, and I have had the honor of seeing it again during this period of study. This kind of fabric is extremely expensive and belongs to the highest-end natural fiber. It is not only extremely healthy and environmentally friendly, but also soft and comfortable, breathable and moisture-absorbent, with excellent warmth retention, wear resistance and heat resistance.

Moreover, this material is very easy to color and has excellent dyeing effect. Most importantly, the texture of these clothes is much better than the highest-end fabrics I have ever come into contact with. Look at the lifelike embroidery and neat workmanship above. This is definitely not something that ordinary people can make. It must be made by a famous master!
It’s hard to learn to embroider this level of thread and stitches, and it’s no exaggeration to say that these clothes are out of print!”

Chen Pingping recognized the fabric of the clothes at first sight when she got them in her hands. However, Xu Boan had so many pieces of such good fabric, and they were piled up casually on the sofa. This way of placement was really inconsistent with the price of the clothes.

You should know that the fabrics, workmanship and styles of these clothes are the most popular ancient styles at the moment. Even if you look at the national and even international markets, they are at the top. The value of each piece of clothing is at least hundreds of thousands or even millions.

However, Xu Boan placed these clothes casually on the sofa, so Chen Pingping confirmed again and again that they were the most precious heavy crepe fabrics.

Xu Bo'an was quite shocked to hear Chen Pingping's high evaluation of these clothes. He immediately asked, "Then how much do you think these clothes are worth?"

Chen Pingping raised a finger and said, "A thin shirt made of this material was once sold at an auction at the Royal Auction House in Great Britain. The asking price was one million. It was said to be handmade by someone from the Dumbledore family, a century-old family of tailors. It was later sold at a high price of three million. If your shirt really meets the right person, it will probably cost at least several hundred thousand."

When Xu Bo'an heard Chen Pingping mention the price, he was even more surprised.

He has never paid much attention to his appearance. Even though he is not short of money now, his clothes are still the same as before, and the total cost of his entire body is no more than 500 yuan.

When he was a manager in the company, he sometimes had to wear formal attire to attend meetings and other events. Xu Bo'an always wore suits issued by the company and never paid out of his own pocket for things like brand name appearance.

I didn't expect that just by helping the Cui Valley people, I would inadvertently gain such a huge fortune.

Xu Boan was reluctant to wear such good clothes. Although these clothes were very good, they revealed an ancient feel everywhere, which Xu Boan felt was not suitable for him.

It would be better to just sell it for money.

Just as Xu Boan was thinking of this idea, he heard Chen Pingping hesitantly ask: "Mr. Xu, do you plan to sell me one of these clothes?" (End of this chapter)
