Chapter 64: 64 【Long Live the Future Boss Lady!!!】
64 【Long Live the Future Boss Lady!!!】
Xiao Yingwei didn't stay long either.
After he left, Old Master Xie had Steward Wu take people to clean out a room, then changed that room's lock to an electronic lock, specifically for Tushan Jiu's use.
Xu Airu came up to Tushan Jiu's side and asked, "Little Jiu, are you planning to stockpile all this gold?"
She thought that in the future it would be inevitable to encounter many such situations, so she might as well go to the bank to open a safety deposit box for her.
Although most of the household servants are elderly, one must still guard against people's hearts; it's hard to guarantee that no one will be tempted and lose their senses.
Tushan Jiu rubbed the unfinished half of the array seal on her jade bracelet, smiling, and replied to Aunt Xu, "Auntie, I'm not stockpiling goods; these are all my dowry preparations for myself."
Upon hearing this, Old Master Xie and Xie Wenmo both looked over.
Including Xu Airu, the three of them were shocked, and in unison each exclaimed a question.
"What!"
"Dowry!"
"So much!"
Tushan Jiu calmly nodded, "Yeah, my bedroom still has two boxes of Bai family's jade stones; uh... so far I've only collected from these two families, and there are still many more I haven't collected."
Xu Airu took a deep breath, opened her mouth, but then swallowed it back.
In the Tushan family, a married daughter cannot go without a dowry; this is a matter of face.
Anyway, whether it's betrothal gifts or dowry, they'll eventually be hers, so let her be happy.
Little did she know, Xie Wenmo and Old Master Xie also thought the same way.
Xie Wenmo asked her, "Little Jiu, do you want to open a safety deposit box at the bank for you?"
What a coincidence, the couple had thought of the same thing.
Old Master Xie also nodded in agreement, "This is feasible; a bank's safety deposit box is safer, so open a bigger one."
Looking at this, just from these two families there's already so much; we don't know how much the little girl will ultimately collect, so picking a bigger one is just being prepared.
At the same time, Old Master Xie and Xie Wenmo, as a couple, began to calculate in their hearts whether they should add more betrothal gifts.
This Tushan family is really overbearing.
Even if the Xie family are the richest, they probably can't even match half of the Tushan family's accounts.
Tushan Jiu naturally didn't know what the three were thinking; she answered Old Master Xie's question about whether to open a safety deposit box.
She said no need; after a while she'll have a dedicated place to store them, and moreover, the items of the sword peddlers aren't something outsiders can just touch.
Seeing that she had it under control, Old Master Xie, Xie Wenmo, and Xu Airu felt relieved.
Although she said she had a place to store them, but after a while a single room would probably still be too small.
So Old Master Xie again instructed Steward Wu to clean out the small building in the back courtyard, specifically to store Tushan Jiu's belongings.
Tushan Jiu thanked Old Master Xie.
Old Master Xie smiled affectionately: "Family doesn't need to say thanks; when you come of age next year, hurry up and get your certificate, then my heart will be at ease, and even your grandfather in the underworld will be happy."
Tushan Jiu glanced at Xu Airu, swallowed the words she was about to say, and then gave a hehe laugh.
Xie Shiyu's mother is afraid of ghosts, so we can't talk about it.
Not long after, Steward Wu came with people and moved those boxes away.
Tushan Jiu returned to her bedroom to change clothes, preparing to go out.
The custom-made clothes from the Embroidery Workshop had arrived yesterday.
It just so happened that she was at home, so she tried them all on, and they all fit well.
Xie Shiyu accompanied her to fill half of the wardrobe, and the other small half is reserved for buying her other new‑style clothes.
For example, Xie Shiyu's wardrobe also had a small section cleared out, holding the clothes Tushan Jiu picked for him when they went shopping at the mall that day.
Tushan Jiu likes the way he dresses, so he naturally wants to change a bit.
After all, men also dress up to please those they like.
Although it's sunny outside today, she knows that it will start raining heavily in the evening, and it won't be light.
Oh dear, she forgot to remind Xie Shiyu.
She took out her phone and sent Xie Shiyu a message.
【Evening will bring heavy rain; bring an umbrella when you get off work.】
After sending it, she realized that if Xie Shiyu doesn't go out, he won't get wet.
Never mind, it's already sent.
She put away her phone and put on a white, relaxed‑style outfit.
She let down her ponytail, found a pearl‑studded crystal hair clip, and fixed her hair at the back of her head.
At the same time, Xie Shiyu, who was in a meeting, received the message from Tushan Jiu.
The meeting just happened to be reaching its end.
Before standing up, he said: "Notify all departments, today everyone leaves work half an hour early."
Upon hearing this, all department heads were dumbfounded, all turning to look at their own CEO in the chief seat.
After all these years, they've never encountered anything like this; could it be that something major happened to the group?
Not to mention them, even Li Kai was dumbfounded.
What does the CEO mean by this?
Xie Shiyu stood up, waved his phone at them, and explained: "Our future boss lady said there will be heavy rain at quitting time, so she asked me to let you leave work early."
As soon as he finished speaking, the managers below were stunned for a second, then began to flatter him.
Xie Shiyu is willing to listen, although he knows most of them don't believe it.
But it doesn't matter; they'll believe it once they're off work.
After that, they just remembered that their future boss lady was fine.
After all, this autumn rain is too chilly; getting wet even a little is already enough to make you suffer.
Even if the lobby on the first floor of the company had umbrellas, it couldn't possibly have over a thousand.
After he stepped out of the meeting room, most of the people inside immediately took out their phones to check the weather forecast.
Seeing that there was no indication of rain at all, everyone thought, "Where's the rain? The forecast didn't show any—could their future boss lady possibly be clairvoyant?"
But these high-level folks with all their scheming thoughts would definitely not complain to the other party's face.
You can't let the other side catch your little braid; in the workplace, you never know who's on good terms with whom, and a careless remark spoken in the heat of the moment could end up reaching someone's ears.
So they were just doing their duty, passing the CEO's order to the department group chat.
As soon as the message was sent out, the people in the offices below all went into an uproar.
Not believing is not believing, but if you're not proactive about leaving work, then your thinking is problematic!
Leave work half an hour early, rain or shine.
When the time comes, just rush to clock in, and that's it.
Thus.
The group chat buzzed with a uniform reply.
【Future boss lady, divine calculator!!!】
【Future boss lady, great righteousness!!!】
【Future boss lady, long live!!!】
However, Tushan Jiu had no idea that Xie Shiyu was trying to curry favor with her.
At this moment, she was gazing with shining eyes at the man sitting beside Bai Yu.
The aura clinging to this man was somewhat interesting.
