Terrible news! My deskmate's first chapter is gone!

The Four Lanes and Six Alleys weren't very big, and Chen Xi quickly found the flower shop.

The name is quite nice, "Listen to the Flowers Sing," which makes it seem like the shop is run by someone who really loves flowers, rather than someone purely focused on making a profit.

The shop is neither too big nor too small; as soon as you enter, you see a girl busy at work.

The girl was very young, and Chen Xi felt that she was about the same age as herself.

"Hello, are you looking to buy flowers as a gift?"

"If you'd like, I can show you around the flowers in the shop."

The female shop assistant spoke first as Chen Xi entered the store.

"What is this yellow flower? It's quite pretty."

"You have excellent taste."

"Those are Seville daisies, symbolizing happiness."

"A nice meaning of flowers."

"How much?"

"198".

So expensive!

"drop!"

"It's been swept away."

"Wrap it up for me!"

Since it was her first time visiting someone else's store, Chen Xi felt it would be better to buy something.

As for who these flowers are for...

Chen Xi planned to give it to Lin Fan.

Whether he's down below or inside the Black Tower, Chen Xi, both emotionally and rationally, hopes he can be happier.

If he hadn't gone to play tennis with Lin Fan that day, perhaps he wouldn't have disappeared.

Maybe......

"By the way, is your boss, Gu Yi, here?"

"I need to talk to him about something."

"Are you the boss's friend?"

"Then I'll give you a 20% discount."

The female shop assistant quickly replied.

"No, I've never met your boss before. I just enjoy being ripped off."

Chen Xi said casually.

He didn't really like being ripped off, but since it was a rare occasion for Chen Xi to send flowers to Lin Fan, she didn't want it to be a discounted item.

"Forehead......"

"A very tasteful hobby..."

The female shop assistant perfectly exemplified the saying "the customer is king."

As long as Chen Xi is willing to pay, whatever he says is right.

"What's your name? The boss usually comes to the store in the afternoon. I'll call him now."

The female shop assistant asked, "Although Chen Xi looks to be about the same age as her, normally the boss wouldn't have friends of that age."

But Chen Xi was a customer, so she wouldn't ask about such things.

"Chen Xi".

When out and about, Chen Xi adopted the identity of Chen Bo, serial number 405, a cleaner.

No secrets stay hidden forever. Chen Xi's identity as a farmer will be exposed sooner or later, and what he needs to do is rise to power before that happens.

However, since the other party is a good person, there's no need for all this pretense; sincerity is enough.

"Beep beep..."

The female shop assistant dialed the phone.

The call was answered quickly.

"Boss, someone named Chen Xi is looking for you. He says he's your friend."

"Oh, you don't recognize me?"

"I have your business card."

Chen Xi, who was standing to the side listening, suddenly interjected.

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, then they said they'd be right there.

Does your boss come to the store every day?

"No, after all, he chooses the flowers himself, and he has to go out often."

"Once, I went to another city to open a branch and stayed for a long time, almost half a year, before I came back. The boss later said that the store eventually went out of business."

Half a year...

It's just a coincidence.

Chen Xi nodded without saying anything.

There is a small reception room in the flower shop, which is equipped with tea sets. Gu Yi usually uses this room to entertain guests or discuss business. Chen Xi is waiting inside at this moment.

Judging from Gu Yi's behavior, it's clear that this business card only circulates among extraordinary individuals; otherwise, the other party wouldn't have rushed over upon hearing about it.

About 30 minutes later, Gu Yi arrived.

The other party was a man around 50 years old, wearing an orange T-shirt, with a slight receding hairline and a small belly, and his overall appearance was rather unattractive.

"Hello, hello, you're a very handsome young man."

Gu Yi walked towards us with a smile, his demeanor giving off a feeling of great tolerance and respect.

They did not show any disdain or contempt for Chen Xi because of her age.

Then, as was his habit, he began to fiddle with the tea set.

Before long, a steaming cup of tea appeared in front of Chen Xi.

"Thanks."

"Haha, you're too kind."

After a hearty laugh, Gu Yi got straight to the point:

"Who did you get my business card from? I haven't given this to many people."

"Zhang Wanyi".

Chen Xi said directly.

It seems that what Zhang Wanyi said is true. Gu Yi doesn't like online chatting. This is probably related to his age, plus he runs a physical store business and doesn't use the internet.

It seems that Zhang Wanyi didn't tell Gu Yi about herself; she just gave him a business card.

"The school beauty."

"That girl is nice; among the superhumans I've met, she's quite quiet."

Chen Xi nodded.

This nod is not compliance, but acknowledgment.

Gu Yi has definitely seen more extraordinary individuals than he has, including many extremists.

In contrast, Chen Xi, being a newcomer to the industry, is just as humane as Yang Wei.

As for Zhang Wanyi, her statement "It's not necessarily wrong to have the heart to harm others" shows that she is gradually transcending the rules of this society.

But when they got to know each other, Chen Xi felt there was nothing wrong with her; she did indeed fit Gu Yi's description of her as quiet.

"Since the school beauty gave you my business card, you naturally know that I am a good person."

"So, how can I help you?"

"That's how it is..."

"My identity is that of a farmer!"

Gu Yi's straightforward manner suited Chen Xi's taste perfectly.

Although he is a top student with strong learning abilities, he is not proficient in every field.

Given Gu Yi's profession and age, Chen Xi was worried that he might be the kind of person who spouts nonsense and writes literary nonsense during their conversation.

Since you've asked me to say a few words, then I'll say a few words.

I've been thinking about it, which few sentences should I say?

That's all I'll say!

Well then, I believe these few sentences are better than those few sentences.

So that's all I'll say for now...

He really couldn't handle this.

Looking back now, it seems pretty good.

"Farmers?"

"What serial number is this?"

Gu Yi looked puzzled.

Chen Xi took a sip of tea and made a gesture that boys often use when taking photos.

"yeah?"

"Boss Gu, this is actually a polyphonic character; it can also be pronounced 'er'."

Chen Xi made a small joke.

"two?"

"20?"

"Still 200?"

"Neither, it's just two."

Chen Xi explained.

"Second sequence?"

"You actually awakened the Overlord Sequence, and it's even the second sequence?"

"But I heard that the second sequence can no longer be awakened?"

Without wasting words, Chen Xi extended his palm, and his identity card immediately appeared, providing irrefutable evidence of his identity.

There's no need for the emperor to repeat his words about the destruction of the primordial seed to everyone he meets.

"Well, Mr. Gu, the specific reasons for my awakening are a bit complicated, and they don't really have anything to do with what I'm about to say, so I won't go into too much detail."

"I'm here today mainly to ask if you have any way to allow me to farm legally and compliantly?"
