Forced to marry a disabled man in the countryside? I'll repay you tenfold!

"Director Wang, since you're willing to help, I certainly can't let you work for nothing."

Part of this money is for going through procedures and paying various fees. For the rest, please help me find a reliable construction team to renovate that small house next to the People's Cinema to the standard of a gold shop—the entrance should have a full glass window, the counter should also be made of glass, and several safes should be installed inside.

If the money isn't enough, I'll make up the difference later; if it's more than enough, the rest is your reward for your hard work. Please don't refuse; it's all rightfully yours. You know me; I won't let anyone who helps me suffer a loss. I'll be troubling you a lot in the future.

Old Wang had witnessed Su Wanqing's generosity and knew she was not short of money. He quickly did the math in his mind: the renovation, including the paperwork, would cost no more than two thousand yuan. The remaining three thousand yuan would be enough for more than half a year's salary for him.

He rubbed his hands together, no longer refusing, and happily accepted the money: "Alright, since Comrade Su trusts me, I'll definitely handle this perfectly for you. Just wait for the grand opening!"

Old Wang sighed, saying that he only earns fifty or sixty yuan a month at work, but look at Comrade Su, whose hard-earned money this time is equivalent to several years' salary for him.

Thankfully, we've now entered a period of reform and opening up. In the past, this would have been considered "speculation and profiteering," but now it's not a big deal.

Old Wang generously accepted the money, patted his chest, and said, "Since you, Comrade Su, trust this old man, I will handle everything for you."

I'll get the paperwork done for you in the next couple of days, and you'll be able to open your gold shop after the New Year. But opening a gold shop will require at least several dozen kilograms of gold, as well as various kinds of jewelry. Do you need to find a goldsmith to make jewelry?

There used to be a craftsman in our alley who specialized in this trade. He was pitiful; he used to do this kind of work, but during the Cultural Revolution a few years ago, all those businesses were shut down, and he just did odd jobs every day to make ends meet…”

Upon hearing that there were people with this talent, Su Wanqing immediately nodded: "Sure, of course no problem! By the way, also help me find two reliable shop assistants. You know, gold is valuable, so it needs to be kept in check by trustworthy people, preferably experienced shopkeepers or managers."

Old Wang nodded repeatedly: "Okay, I'll look for some for you. But you'll need to prepare some gold jewelry and samples first."

Su Wanqing replied, "Okay."

After eating and drinking her fill, she finished discussing the matter and took out a piece of paper to briefly outline her requirements for the jewelry store—the storefront must have custom-made glass display cases, the lighting inside must be bright, and the counters must be transparent so that people can see the glittering gold jewelry at a glance.

After saying that, she and Old Man Wang parted ways. Old Man Wang had to go back to work after finishing his meal, while Su Wanqing told Xiao Wang to go directly to the market.

"It's almost Chinese New Year, and Xiuer hasn't come to report on her work these past few days. She's probably very busy. Let's go over and see if she's busy. If she's not, we can help her out. If she's not busy, we can also visit the mushroom farm."

Su Wanqing was mainly thinking that she hadn't used the free "Time Grid" she had gotten today yet.

Sigh, she's quite busy now.

There are two opportunities to get ten times the reward for free every day, one opportunity to obtain a processing grid, and now there is an additional opportunity to obtain a time grid.

These things are updated every day. If you don't use them and don't save them, wouldn't it be a waste?

We can't waste something we got for free.

Therefore, Su Wanqing would think about it every day when she woke up: What should I use today? She was quite experienced with the ten-times opportunity now. If there was nothing valuable, she would save it for the ten-times space at night. After all, if she used up the ten-times opportunity early in the day, it would be gone when she needed it later.

As for the free opportunities she gets from processing, she usually puts the products in her space into it and makes them into various snacks and foods, which she eats whenever she has free time.

There aren't many time-manipulation items available right now, so I'm thinking of secretly speeding up the mushroom growth at the mushroom factory by ten times so they can grow faster.

Since there's one chance every day, it's a good opportunity for her to experiment with the scope and other things.

"I wonder if, besides livestock and plants, other things can be used with the Time Grid?"

Xiao Wang had no idea what Su Wanqing was thinking. He only thought that Comrade Su must be working really hard all day, like she was inspecting a site, having to go to every single place.

He immediately said, "Okay, let's go now. I promise to drive smoothly, so Comrade Su can get some sleep in the car."

"Forget about sleeping, I'll just take a nap."

The roads aren't great these days, and jeeps are a bit bumpy. I need to buy a more comfortable sedan as soon as possible.

Soon, the two arrived at the vegetable market.

The Chinese New Year is just around the corner, and the market is unusually crowded today.

Tomorrow is Lunar New Year's Eve. I've already prepared steamed buns, fried meatballs, fried sweet potato meatballs, and pork jelly, all of which will keep well.

But fresh vegetables that can't be stored still need to be bought outside. Therefore, there aren't many people buying meat at the butcher shop in the market, but there are a lot of people buying fresh vegetables. Especially oyster mushrooms, which are a rare treat this year.

As soon as Su Wanqing arrived at the location, she saw a long queue.

To prevent people from cutting in line, they even put up ropes to block the way, leaving only one entrance, so that people outside couldn't cut in.

Chen Xiuer anticipated that there would be a lot of people today, so she opened four shipping outlets. There are now four queues, and she even brought over the security guards from the factory to maintain order while also carrying goods in.

Now that it's Chinese New Year, people are not only buying oyster mushrooms in small quantities (three to five kilograms), but some also like to buy boxes of oyster mushrooms as gifts for the New Year, so there are even more people queuing up.

The scene inside was incredibly busy; Chen Xiuer's voice was hoarse. She not only had to coordinate the event but also keep accounts and collect money.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Wang immediately said to Su Wanqing, "Comrade Su, I'll go help carry the mushrooms right away! I'm not good at anything else, but I'm best at physical labor. But when I get there, you'll have to stay put. There are a lot of people here, so you should go sit in the shop for a while to avoid getting jostled or bumping into things."

His main responsibility is to protect Su Wanqing, but now everyone inside is swamped with work.

Su Wanqing nodded: "Okay, there are too many people outside, it's really dangerous. I'll go inside and help Xiuer with the bookkeeping, she can just focus on collecting the money."

Poor Xiuer, in just a few days, look how she's developed dark circles and bags under her eyes from staying up so late.

Then look at that heartless boss, who spends all day either playing or leisurely eating. As Su Wanqing walked in, she felt a little guilty, thinking that she should give Xiuer a bigger bonus after the New Year.

Even Su Wanqing, the capitalist, felt a little guilty. The television she had originally intended to leave for Chen Xiuer had been taken away by Zhou's mother. It seemed she would have to reward her with something else. But what should she reward her with?
