Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

Ye Chen carried the gold brick to a reputable brand gold shop, found the shop manager, and explained his request.

When the person in charge of the gold shop saw the four gold bars in Ye Chen's plastic bag, he was also momentarily stunned.

Good heavens, gold BRICS are packaged in plastic bags?

Is this still a takeout bag?

Can't you show some respect for the BRICS?

These four large pieces should at least be carried over in a suitcase!

After the gold shop staff verified the authenticity of the gold bars, the shop manager readily accepted the job.

The labor cost is 50 yuan per gram, the design fee is 3000 yuan, the framing fee is 1000 yuan, and the rush fee is 50000 yuan.

Includes a 999 pure gold stamp, plus a brand certificate and receipt!

Three design drafts can be produced within 2 hours for selection. Once selected, they can be expedited and completed by tomorrow night.

Delivery is available for an additional fee.

Although the processing fee was not cheap, Ye Chen ultimately chose to have it processed.

He told the jewelry store manager his requirements: he wanted to give the item to the school, it had to be commemorative, and its content had to be related to education.

Otherwise, we'll just give him something like "wealth flowing in from all directions," "great ambitions," or "evergreen" to make up the numbers...

The jewelry store manager said there was no problem!

Actually, this was his first time taking on this kind of job, and he was a little unsure of himself.

He accepted the offer because he had deep considerations.

Although Ye Chen did not specify which school, the only one that recently held its anniversary celebration was Binhai University.

Making money is secondary; if we can use this opportunity to create buzz and generate attention, that's what matters.

Their jewelry store might just catch fire again!

This is also a form of brand promotion and marketing.

Who wouldn't be happy to make money while smiling and gain fame at the same time?

There aren't many wealthy patrons who can afford to throw around four gold bars; at least, he hasn't encountered one during his years in office.

Therefore, the person in charge of the gold shop attached great importance to this deal.

Before Ye Chen could even leave, the gold shop owner had already started instructing one of the shop's designers to get to work.

Seeing their efficiency, Ye Chen felt a little relieved.

As long as the items can be delivered the day after tomorrow, that's fine.

Since he's going to give it as a gift, he can't be too undignified, can he? He's giving a gift that reflects on the reputation of their entire department.

Since he had asked someone to do the job, Ye Chen chose to trust them and did not linger. He simply went back to wait for news.

Around 4 p.m., Ye Chen received three drafts from the person in charge of the gold shop.

Ye Chen pondered for a while before offering his suggestion:

"Mr. Zhang, I have a suggestion, I don't know if it's feasible. Let's turn it into a golden painting, with a scaled-down version of Binhai University, and the words 'A Century of Cultivating Talents' written in large characters in the center!"

"The size should be based on the large banner hanging in the lobby!"

When Zhang Mingtian, the manager of the gold shop, heard Ye Chen's high demands, he frowned, but he did not refuse immediately. Instead, he pondered for a moment.

Ye Chen's suggestion is excellent. If their jewelry store really creates such a masterpiece, it will definitely become famous.

only--

With just a few workers in their shop, it would be difficult for them to make it in a day!

"Mr. Ye, to be honest, your request is a bit difficult!" Zhang Mingtian said with some difficulty.

Ye Chen knew what he meant as soon as he opened his mouth; he simply wanted more money!

"How much do you need? Just finish it by 10 a.m. the day after tomorrow and send it to Binhai University!" Ye Chen said calmly.

"Hehe, Mr. Ye, I'm not trying to raise prices, it's just that the workers in the shop can't do it, so I have to borrow a few more craftsmen to do it together, so the price has to be doubled!" Zhang Mingtian's voice was a little softer towards the end.

Even he felt it was a bit excessive.

Ye Chen rolled his eyes: "You can just pay the wages of the workers you've temporarily transferred. You're not planning to charge me 40 yuan for their labor, are you?"

He's not short of money now, but he's not a sucker either.

"Uh... this..." Zhang Mingtian didn't know what to say at this point. He had almost forgotten that Ye Chen had brought over 4000 grams.

If we calculate it that way, it does seem like we're asking for a bit too much.

"Let's not double the wages. Let's calculate it based on the workers' wages. I'll pay the extra people you hire three times the wages, but there's one thing: they have to be reliable!" Ye Chen said proactively.

"Hmm... okay, Mr. Ye, I'll make the arrangements right away. I'll have the designer send you a final version of the design drawings later!" Zhang Mingtian nodded in agreement after a moment's thought.

"Okay, I'll wait for good news!" Ye Chen said and hung up the phone.

About half an hour later, the designer sent the layout to Ye Chen.

After Ye Chen checked and confirmed that everything was correct, he explained the details and precautions before finalizing the draft!

Ye Chen voluntarily settled the payment in one lump sum, and this generous gesture made Zhang Mingtian feel as if he had been injected with adrenaline.

He swore he had never cared so much about anything in his entire life!

Once this work is unveiled, it is estimated to be his masterpiece!

Zhang Mingtian personally supervised the work, making sure that the weight was not shortchanged.

4000 grams of gold would be worth more than 300 million yuan at the current gold price.

With such huge profits at stake, it's inevitable that some people will lose their temper!

If something goes wrong, not only will he be ruined, but the brand's reputation will also be tarnished.

Therefore, Zhang Mingtian wanted to ensure that this work never left his sight from the start to the end.

He was even prepared to stay up all night.

In the evening, after resting for a while after dinner, Ye Chen went out for a night run.

"Aunt He, have you eaten yet?"

"Uncle Liu, you're out exercising now! You must be feeling better!"

"Old Wu, has your Wangcai had any puppies these past few days? You'll have to send me one later!"

Ye Chen greeted several people he had met during this time along the way.

Later, when they encountered Elder Zhou, Ye Chen asked, "Elder Zhou, how is Elder Xie?!"

Old Zhou shook his head: "Sigh, he's in the hospital. The situation isn't very optimistic. At our age, once an illness flares up, it's not so easy to recover!"

"Which hospital? I'll go visit them tomorrow!" Ye Chen frowned slightly.

"The First Municipal Hospital, Building 11, Room 509!" Old Zhou sighed.

Ye Chen sighed at how unpredictable life was; just a while ago, Elder Xie was radiant and in good health.

Now he's hospitalized because of a stomach problem.

Old Xie was the first person Ye Chen met after moving into this community. He was also quite easygoing, and Ye Chen had a good impression of him.

After spending this time together, even if we're not exactly close friends despite the age gap, we're definitely acquaintances!

I might as well ask Old Xie to let me try the effects of the disease-curing pills tomorrow!

This is a product of the system; it should be able to cure the disease completely, right?!

Ye Chen secretly made up his mind.

The next morning, Ye Chen inquired about the progress of Zhang Mingtian's gold painting. Only after receiving confirmation that it could be completed on time did Ye Chen feel relieved.

If it cannot be completed on time, then the gold painting will lose its significance.

Around 11 a.m., Ye Chen opened the trading panel!

I traded three bags of flour for three pills the size of chocolate chips—disease-curing pills!
