Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

Chapter 468 Second Personnel Exchange

It wasn't until the next morning, after a good night's sleep and feeling refreshed, that Xia Yiyi, nestled in Ximen Lang's arms, grumbling about his lack of tenderness while drawing circles on his chest with her fingers, finally vaguely remembered the "goods."

Then, her delicate body trembled, and Xia Yiyi immediately felt extremely annoyed.

"It's all your fault, it's all your fault! I told you to just go find Sister Ling, don't worry about me! But you insisted on doing it anyway, and now look what happened, you've ruined the important business!"

The sudden feeling of frustration left Ximen Lang completely bewildered.

He thought about it for a long time, but he still couldn't figure out what important thing could be more important than continuing the family line for the Ximen family.

It wasn't until Xia Yiyi mentioned the "goods" that had arrived the previous night that Ximen Lang suddenly realized what was going on.

But because they had no idea about the joints inside, they didn't care at all.

He waved his hand dismissively.

"Oh, I thought it was something serious! Is this all there is to it? It's just some minerals. Is it really worth you, the boss, personally handling this? You could have just handed it over to your subordinates. Why did you have to make the trip yourself?"

If it were just ordinary cargo, let alone a mere tens or hundreds of thousands of tons, it would be tens of millions of tons!
Given Xia Yiyi's rising status and increasingly discerning perspective, she would at most be pleased about the growing connection between Beijing and the future world, but she would definitely not care so much about the goods themselves.

Unfortunately, this batch of "goods" included the second group of exchange and learning personnel sent by the world from Beijing, and each of them was a top talent who would surely shine in the future and support the backbone of the nation!
This made Xia Yiyi, who doesn't like any celebrities but loves to follow scientists who have made significant contributions to the country, very upset.

In addition, due to their own reasons, they must have had to spend another night in the confined, dark, and cramped container.

How could I possibly express my frustration?

Xia Yiyi's heart was immediately tormented.

However, these reasons were definitely not something that could be explained to Ximen Lang openly, so Xia Yiyi could only use the excuse that everything is difficult at the beginning to explain to Ximen Lang.

"Although there aren't many goods, at least things are on the right track. Everything is difficult at the beginning. Of course, I can be a hands-off manager like you and leave everything to the subordinates. But this is just the beginning, so of course I have to pay more attention and make sure this good start continues."

His serious expression brought a sentence to Ximen Lang's mind.

"Indeed, men who are serious about their work are the most attractive."

And soon, this sentence became...

"Women who work hard are just as charming!"

In addition, Xia Yiyi inadvertently revealed large expanses of her snow-white skin.

As expected, Ximen Lang immediately started to get restless again.

This sudden turn of events terrified Xia Yiyi.

Originally, because of Ximen Lang's antics, this group of exchange students had already been delayed for a whole night.

If this happens again...
Wouldn't that delay things until tomorrow?!

And her small frame
With her small frame, wouldn't Ximen Lang ruin her?!

Therefore, Ximen Lang had only just calmed down for a short while before he came again.

Xia Yiyi jumped out of bed with a start.

It was hard to say whether it was a reward or something else, but he kicked Ximen Lang, who was trying to climb over to him, back onto the bed.

Drop a sentence.

"Ximen Lang! If you dare to mess with me again, I'll kick you to death!"

Then, Xia Yiyi left without looking back.

Only Ximen Lang, who was stunned by Xia Yiyi's actions, remained, sighing incessantly.

"Bai Ling is like this, and now even Yi Yi is starting to become like this. She used to be such a gentle and virtuous girl! Now, she just spouts nonsense like 'I'm an old lady'! She even said she wanted to kick me to death. What kind of behavior is this?!" I really racked my brains but couldn't understand why they all turned out this way.

Ultimately, the only explanation is that this is the inevitable transformation from girl to woman, and finally to haggard housewife.

This is commonly known as early menopause.

Then, seeing that she had finished washing up and getting dressed, but Ximen Lang was still lying in bed and showed no sign of getting up, Xia Yiyi became anxious.

"Why are you still lying in bed? Get up right now!"

Hearing the unprovoked urging, Ximen Lang slowly typed out a...

"?"

I couldn't help but ask.

"Could it be that you've changed your mind again?"

The frivolous and ambiguous tone made Xia Yiyi feel utterly disgusted.

"I really can't stand Ximen Lang's irreverent and frivolous ways of taking things too far with every three sentences," Xia Yiyi said irritably.

"I think you understand? You big dummy! You think everyone is like you, always so irresponsible, lazy, doing nothing but thinking about that stuff!"

Good heavens, they caught Ximen Lang and gave him a good scolding, so much so that Ximen Lang rolled his eyes.

Xia Yiyi then spoke.

“I have to get things done, boss. With such a huge undertaking unfolding, as the person primarily responsible, I have to go and check it out on-site, right? Otherwise, who would I be letting down? I would be letting down everyone! I would be letting down both you and Sister Ling’s trust, and I would be letting down myself.”

"How do you say this?"

"Nonsense! I bought all these goods with my own hard-earned money, and I get a share of the profits! If I'm not careful, and something goes wrong, I'll lose all my money, and I'll be finished!"

Ximen Lang chuckled to himself.

He immediately made a statement.

"It's okay. Even if you really lose everything and have to sell your pants, I'm still here for you. With me to cover your losses, what are you afraid of?"

And sure enough, Xia Yiyi's prediction was absolutely correct.

Before three sentences were even finished, Ximen Lang had already started to veer off-topic.

"Yeah, just give it to me then, and I'll be the buyer. I'll pay the highest price! We can't let our own profits go to outsiders!"

Xia Yi was so angry she wanted to grind her teeth.

She didn't want to say another word to Ximen Lang, so she lifted the blanket and forcibly pulled him up.

I was taken to the bathroom and got ready in a daze for a while.

They finally managed to make Ximen Lang look presentable.

Then, with a stern face, Ximen Lang, who hadn't even had a bite to eat, was kicked out of the house by Xia Yiyi.

There really was nowhere else to go.

Helpless, Ximen Lang had no choice but to return to the future.

Of course, there were also the numerous goods that Xia Yi repeatedly instructed them to bring back as well.

And so, quietly, the second exchange of talent between the world of Beijing and the future was completed without a sound.
