Blind Date in Time and Space

On the second day, Xia Mansion became extremely lively.

Last night, Xia Yongcheng sent people to notify all the people in the city, from the imperial court to various sects in the world, as well as the families of some innate masters who followed the ship to the Arctic Iceberg Continent.

Early in the morning, there was a lot of traffic in front of Xia Mansion and it was very lively.

But Lu Rui waited until her precious daughter and the fairy son-in-law both woke up before getting started with the reception.

A group of eunuchs and officials from the imperial court did not dare to show their expressions, and had to wait patiently with Xiao Xiao.

Not to mention the rest of the Jianghu people, they just stood and waited - there were so many people that there weren't even enough chairs to sit on.

"so many people?"

When Chen Ji and the little lady came to the living room, they were looked at with fiery eyes by this crowded group of people.

Encountering such a battle again, Xia Shumin calmed down a lot. She was no longer the shy and blushing little lady who was dragged by Chen Ji to the Fairy Ping Club. Instead, she had already been to the earth and the dark underworld with the young master. She had grown up. A lady with great knowledge!

Although.

but.

The lady held Chen Ji's little hand and tightened it a little.

Chen Ji laughed and said to Xia Yongcheng and his wife: "Uncle and aunt, please give everyone the spiritual herbs and explain the matter briefly to avoid everyone guessing."

"That's fine."

Xia Yongcheng nodded and ordered someone to take out the spiritual herbs he and Shu Min brought back yesterday.

A group of the emperor's personal eunuchs and court officials, as well as people from various sects in the world, craned their necks to watch.

According to legend, after the land gods opened the gate of heaven with a sword, a little fairy energy poured out from the fairy world, fell into the iceberg continent of the North and South Poles, and turned into many spiritual herbs, right in front of their eyes!

"You will come up to collect these bundled spiritual herbs and the accompanying letters later. Don't mess around or use any tricks."

Chen Ji paused for a moment and continued: "As for the thank you gift, there is no need for it. When we were in the North Pole, Shumin and I received part of the spiritual grass as reward. You can take it back. Your family and master's letters to you are all There are instructions on how to use these spiritual herbs."

Everyone thanked him profusely.

Although they don't need to be paid, they didn't come to Xia Mansion empty-handed. They brought a lot of gifts, and these gifts will still be kept.

Under the command of Green Bamboo and Cuizhu, bundles of spiritual herbs were carefully placed out by the servants.

The room is filled with fragrance.

The rich aroma formed by the mixture of various unseen fairy fruits and spiritual herbs made everyone in the living room intoxicated.

Just by taking a breath of the spiritual grass, the energy in their bodies circulates faster, making them feel refreshed and energetic.

"These are all real fairy treasures!"

A eunuch shouted in a high-pitched voice.

Lu Rui glanced at the eunuch and said leisurely: "With so many spiritual herbs, there will probably be hundreds more Xiantian people in the world. I don't know what the world of martial arts will be like in the future."

Everyone heard her words and looked at these spiritual herbs with increasing intensity.

"Master, the prince's request..."

Xia Shumin reminded in a low voice.

She received favor from Lu Huai with the young master in the North Pole and promised to do one thing for him. Whether it can be done is another matter.

"Oh yes."

Chen Ji nodded and asked the group of eunuchs and officials, "Who is Francis?"

"This is Francis!"

A tall and thin man stood up and raised his hand to Chen Ji seriously.

"You come here and take charge of collecting the spiritual herbs that the prince found."

Chen Ji promised Lu Huai one thing, but he only promised him that the person responsible for receiving the spiritual grass would be Fang Ji.

As for whether Francis could keep the spiritual grass, whether he would escape with the spiritual grass, or what the court officials and these eunuchs thought, he didn't care at all.

Even if the eunuchs brought out the emperor's order on the spot and took Fang Ji Lingcao away, Chen Ji would not care.

As long as Lu Huai's share of the spiritual herbs is the first one to get into Francis' hands.

"Thank you Mr. Chen!"

Francis didn't talk nonsense. As if he had anticipated this, he immediately led people forward to collect the spiritual herbs.

However, he turned around and handed half to a tall military general, saying: "General Chu, this matter is very important. You and I will take half of it each to escort the spirit grass back to the capital. The matter is extremely urgent, so I will take the first step!"

He really didn't say any nonsense. He threw away half of the spiritual herbs and left in a hurry.

The group of eunuchs and officials didn't even react before Francis had already squeezed out of the crowd.

"Be bold!"

An eunuch shouted loudly, "The man named Fang left behind the spiritual grass. This spiritual grass will be escorted back to the capital and stored in the treasury. Your Majesty will decide and reward you!"

The eunuchs and officials rushed to pursue him.

A group of Jianghu people gathered around to watch the excitement and didn't mind it being a big deal. They used their bodies to stop them secretly. This was a sure sign that no one dared to make a move in front of Chen Ji.

The eunuchs were so anxious that they all shouted.

"Shut up, everyone."

Lu Rui scolded them coldly and ordered: "You can leave after you take the spiritual herbs. It is inconvenient to entertain you today."

As soon as the spiritual grass comes out, things will be fine in Yongkang City, but there will probably be an uproar in the court.

When these people take the spiritual grass back later, they don't know what kind of pursuit they will encounter, and they don't know how many skilled and empty-handed thieves will look for various opportunities to take action.

Chen Ji focused on the reaction of General Chu and the group of eunuchs.

Fang Ji was the person arranged by Prince Lu Huai in Yongkang City in advance, and General Chu was the person chosen by Fang Ji to divert attention.

This General Chu's identity is probably a bit subtle.

"General Chu!"

A eunuch said urgently: "You immediately order someone to capture that Francis. His Majesty has already explained the matter of the spiritual grass. It must be escorted thoroughly! No one should be missing!"

The tall General Chu didn't say much, his expression remained unchanged, and he didn't respond to the eunuch. After saying goodbye to Chen Ji, he led the two of them to pack several bundles of spiritual herbs in boxes and walked outside the Xia Mansion. .

After the other Jianghu people got the spiritual grass, they also rushed to say goodbye and leave. The sooner they could escort the spiritual grass back, the better.

Chen Ji watched the excitement.

At noon, I had another lunch with the little lady, then said goodbye to her and returned to the main world.

In the evening, Chen Ji learned from the young lady that Zhao State had indeed made a fuss over the spiritual grass issue.

The imperial court sent Liumen and Jinyiwei to join forces to pursue Francis, and issued an imperial edict ordering him and General Chu to bring the spiritual grass back to the capital.

When Chen Ji got up the next morning, he received another message from the little lady, saying that something big happened last night. The spiritual herbs that General Chu had given to the eunuchs for safekeeping were stolen. After the incident, the eunuchs were afraid of being blamed by the emperor, so they simply ran away overnight.

"Stolen?"

Chen Ji expressed doubts that it might not be that simple.

According to what Xia Shumin mentioned when chatting with him, after the advent of the Qingming Fairy Sword, Emperor Qiande in the capital seemed to have given up on himself. He gradually neglected the affairs of the government and ordered to recruit a group of beautiful women to enrich the harem and concubines. , and despite the opposition of the ministers, he built the palace wantonly.

This time he issued an order quickly regarding the spiritual grass, which was a rare occasion when Emperor Qiande reacted quickly.

As a result, half of the spiritual grass was stolen, and half was taken away by the people of the prince Lu Huai. However, the prince was far away in the North Pole and could not mobilize an army to investigate the crime.

If the imperial court wants the spiritual grass again, it can only wait for the prince to come back, or get it from those people in the world.

This is probably another battle between the kings and the kings.

…

Chen Ji didn't pay much attention to Zhao Guo's affairs.

After getting up and washing up, I went downstairs and bought a breakfast.

"Chen Ji, are you up?"

Just in time, Zhou Wan from the doomsday world sent him a message.

"You're up, how about you? Have you had breakfast?"

Chen Ji basically relayed what happened in the Intersection world to her and Xiao Zhou Wan, and by the way, he also told Mu Xiaoxiao who was in the Nine Realms.

After Mu Xiaoxiao heard that Chen Ji had obtained a destiny fragment, he sent him a series of messages, eager to visit the small world of Intersection.

But unfortunately, Chen Ji asked Ma Yien and couldn't get her to go for the time being.

Except for dragging little Zhou Wan through the doomsday world, causing time and space chaos, allowing Chen Ji to travel directly to the intersection world, there is no other way to enter it.

You can't drag Mu Xiaoxiao away either.

It is estimated that if you want to take the empress to the small world, you can only do the same as Xia Shumin and go through the space rift.

Chen Ji is actually looking forward to seeing the empress, the divine saint, the little lady, and the two Zhou Wans appear in the intersection world together. Judging from the situations of Xia Shumin and little Zhou Wan, it will be very difficult for them to go to that world. There may also be some special spatiotemporal reactions.

"Not yet, waiting for you to give me a copy~"

Zhou Wan sent him a slightly playful voice.

Chen Ji also pressed the voice button and said with a smile: "I'll just eat a little. Are you sure you want to eat at these roadside breakfast restaurants?"

"I'm not Xiao Zhou Wan!"

Um?

Chen Ji was stunned for a moment before he realized that he had been stupid and couldn't help but laugh.

When she was hiding in the wine room before, Chen Ji gave her many buns, fried dough sticks, rice rolls, etc. from roadside breakfast shops. The cost was only ten yuan, which was enough to make Zhou Wan look happy.

Chen Ji wouldn't find it strange. Ten yuan for breakfast a day is already a luxury.

but.

After Zhou Wan had a "blind date" with him when she was young, Chen Ji learned that she was a rich woman, her home was a large villa of several thousand square meters, her car was a top-notch luxury car, and she even had a nap place at work. .

Such a Bai Fumei spends tens of thousands of dollars a day on food. She probably wouldn't even look at a roadside breakfast stall.

Chen Ji subconsciously confused Zhou Wan in the apocalyptic world with Bai Fumei Zhou Wan.

"I am her, but I am not her either... I like everything you gave me. She should also like it."

Zhou Wan's words are quite difficult to pronounce.

"she?"

Chen Ji smiled and said: "If I buy her a breakfast like this, she will probably give me a look of deep contempt, then point her finger to the side and ask me to put it down."

"Nonsense."

Zhou Wan laughed hard and said: "You haven't bought it for her, how do you know? I guess she will eat the breakfast you bought. If you don't believe me, try it."

"Better say goodbye. What do you want to eat? I'll buy it for you, not for little Zhou Wan."

"Hehehe... bring me some steamed buns and dumplings, a stick of corn, and a cup of soy milk. After three years, it's hard to eat original soy milk."

Chen Ji heard her talk about some changes in the apocalyptic world these days and knew what she meant.

"I'll go to your place tomorrow, and I'll go to the company today."

Chen Ji gave her breakfast as a gift.

"Okay, I'll wait for you to come. By the way, tell her. If she can't handle it, she can send me the contract documents and I'll help control the contract details."

The elder Zhou Wan is four years older than the younger Zhou Wan, and has handled more business contracts. When the two Zhou Wans work together in business, they are simply a world-destroying power.

"Don't."

Chen Ji decisively refused, "If I said this in front of her, she wouldn't even give me a roll of her eyes, but would just tell me to get out of here indifferently."

Zhou Wan couldn't help laughing again.

At the age of 24, she was so proud that she would definitely not be happy to ask for her help.

"I'll wait for you to come tomorrow. Now I'm going to prepare."

"good."

Chen Ji ended the call with Da Zhou Wan. We will talk about the doomsday world tomorrow. There is a very bad thing to solve.

Taking the subway to the company, Chen Ji felt something was wrong as soon as he stepped into the company door.

Before work time, the company was quiet. Colleagues were busy eating breakfast and staring at the computer. It was completely different from the lively chat before going to work.

"Good morning, Chairman."

The new front desk girl was sitting behind a simple table. When she saw Chen Ji, she immediately smiled and smiled sweetly at him.

This girl must have just graduated from college. She is good-looking, with fair skin and long legs, and is dressed very elegantly. The shabby table in front of her does not match her image at all.

"morning."

Chen Ji smiled and nodded to her. He had no idea what this girl was called. There were too many people coming to the company recently, and the space of less than 200 square meters was crowded with people.

"Huang Hao, morning!"

Just when he saw him standing up, Chen Ji said hello to him and said with a smile: "What's going on today? It's not even time to go to work. Are you all so quiet?"

In the past, when Huang Hao was the boss, the company was noisy at work and off work. Especially when the work between art, programming, and planning was connected, the arguments would be so intense that you would roll up your sleeves and fight.

"Brother Chen, you don't know how stressed we are."

Huang Hao looked resentful and pursed his lips in that direction.

Chen Ji looked in the direction and saw a woman wearing a professional women's suit sitting in his seat by the window. Her skin color was very fair, her black hair was tied behind her head, and her graceful swan neck was vaguely exposed. She looked extremely elegant. beauty.

Seemingly hearing the voice, she raised her head from the pile of contract documents on the table and looked into Chen Ji's eyes.

Huang Hao was so angry that he didn't dare to breathe.

That woman's aura was so strong, especially when she was sitting there handling business contracts worth tens of billions, it was as if she had the power of life and death in the entire company, which made people afraid to look directly at her.

"Zhou Wan, morning."

Chen Ji smiled and greeted her.

Xiao Zhou Wan glanced at him, then lowered his head and continued reading the documents without saying a word.

There seemed to be resentment in his stomach.

Chen Ji lowered his voice and asked Huang Hao beside him: "Even if the president is here, you don't have to be so restrained, right?"

"Brother Chen, you don't know..." Huang Hao lowered his voice, "Not to mention our president, the people she brought here all have an annual salary of tens of millions, specializing in handling investment contracts, and their aura is completely the same as ours. Different...of course, Brother Chen, you are the chairman now, so you are different from us!"

Huang Hao is also a graduate of a prestigious university.

But the gap between prestigious universities is wider than that between PhD students and elementary school students.

985 graduates with good family backgrounds and good studies have early decided to study abroad, work in large foreign companies for a few years, and become senior executives after returning to China.

Some of the worse ones, like Chen Ji, knew that studying for a master's degree would not lead to anything worthwhile, so they simply went to work.

The group of people brought by Zhou Wan are all investors. If she can be roped in to handle a financing plan worth 50 billion, the annual salary is definitely not high.

Chen Ji walked to Zhou Wan.

Secretary Song Yuzhu looked at him with a strange look, as if she had countless things to say in her heart.

She probably has never seen a chairman who is so indifferent to the company, especially when the company is still in a period of rapid development and involves large-scale financing.

As a result, Chen Ji didn't show up for many days, leaving everything to Zhou Wan.

It is definitely wrong to say that he is a soft-hearted person. After all, he wrote the AI ​​and the entire investment is centered around AI.

But it gives people the illusion that they are eating soft rice.

It all depends on President Zhou to support this company!

President Zhou has worked so hard!

"Ahem, um...Sorry, I've been a little busy lately."

Chen Ji said embarrassedly to Zhou Wan, who was bowing his head.

She looked at the document expressionlessly.

It's not that it's indifferent, but it gives Chen Ji the illusion that she is full of resentment?

"...I know you are busy."

After a while, Zhou Wan said calmly, "You told me last night that I already know what you and Shumin went to...do."

"So, thank you for your hard work!" Chen Ji looked at her smooth forehead and tried to finish the sentence; "I'll treat you to dinner tonight?"

Little Zhou Wan finally raised her head.

After looking at him with clear and bright eyes, he lowered his head again, holding the document in his hand, and said, "Okay, but do you have money? All the money in your card belongs to me."

"..."

Chen Ji couldn't laugh or cry for a moment.

In order to buy a big house, Xiao Zhou Wan borrowed 300 million from him, and the money has already arrived.

This is a loan, and of course Chen Ji will pay it back, but the meaning behind Xiao Zhou Wan's words is that there is no need to pay it back, my money is for you.

"You're looking down on me, aren't you?"

Chen Ji replied using her previous words, "Besides, I made more than 10 million with your help before."

It was Da Zhou Wan who relied on him.

"snort."

Zhou Wan let out a subtle hum, and Chen Ji, who was sitting next to her, heard it.

"Are you going to her place tomorrow?"

"right."

"It's okay to go, but you have to look at the contract with me today. Although I know you don't care about making more or less, you at least need to know."

"no problem!"

Chen Ji was not interested in business, as long as he got the money, but Xiao Zhou Wan personally said that he wanted to teach him, and he had to listen even if he was drowsy.

"sit."

Zhou Wan said to him, motioning for Chen Ji to sit next to her.

The aura was exactly as Huang Hao said, very powerful.

If it was Da Zhou Wan in the apocalyptic world, he would definitely have pulled Chen Ji to sit down, holding the contract document and explaining it to him bit by bit, occasionally looking at him with very soft eyes.

"..."

Song Yuzhu, who was quite speechless, looked at President Zhou and Chen Ji, who were sitting next to each other, and then turned to look at the employees in the company.

It’s all because the place this company rents is too small and doesn’t even have an office.

You can't rent another room yet.

The Four Dimensional Super Dimension Technology Company has achieved great success and will definitely move into a top-grade commercial office building in the future. Renting an additional office now is just a fool's errand.

…

Chen Ji and Xiao Zhou Wan read the contract all morning.

He didn't pay attention to many clauses, only focusing on some restrictions in the contract and when he would get the money.

In Zhou Wan's words, because of the outstanding performance of "Zhao Jianghu", this financing plan is a unilateral and overbearing contract with almost no restrictions on Chen Ji. It is equivalent to selling shares, and the money after financing is his.

But it's not completely unlimited.

If Chen Ji wants to get money with confidence and fulfill his promise to investors, he needs to authorize AI to other companies, sign more than ten contracts with a total value of more than 2 billion, and ensure that the company continues to operate stably in the next three years. This time it will be five He can use the financing amount of one billion without any other restrictions.

To put it simply, investors need Chen Ji to ensure the stability of AI and not to destroy the AI ​​just after getting the money, causing them to lose everything.

Chen Ji had no objection and nodded to Zhou Wan in agreement.

There are many other small details. She is in control. Chen Ji only needs to sign.

The two of them went to have a meal at noon.

After continuing to read the contract in the afternoon, Zhou Wan arranged some conference calls for Chen Ji to participate and chat with investors.

The group of investors from major companies and investment banks seemed to already know the character of the creator of this epoch-making game, random algorithm AI. They chatted about AI and AI applications, and the business part. rare.

"It's normal."

Zhou Wan said to him: "When investing in a company with leading technology, what you focus on is not the business model, but your understanding of the development of the industry and the height that this AI can achieve in the future."

"If you say that this AI can drive autonomously and play a role in the medical field, they can immediately invest another 10 billion in you."

Zhou Wan said the last sentence in a lowered voice.

Because she knew these were realities. Another Zhou Wan from the apocalyptic world had already told her about the changes that Maien Type I artificial intelligence would bring to human society.

"AI self-driving? They have a beautiful idea."

Chen Ji smiled.

Zhou Wan nodded slightly. Such a powerful weapon should not be taken out easily. Perhaps Chen Ji would never take it out.

night.

The two of them went to have a dinner that cost 30,000 yuan per person and a total of 90,000 yuan. Chen Ji paid for it.

Zhou Wan watched the takeout box disappear before asking him: "Are you going to her world tomorrow?"

"Yes. What's wrong?"

Chen Ji saw that something was wrong with her.

Zhou Wan hesitated for a moment, "Forget it, you can tell me when you come back... maybe it's not necessary, I will dream about you and her at night."

Chen Ji looked at her doubtfully.

Xiao Zhou Wan didn't seem to be jealous, and Chen Ji's relationship with her wasn't that bad, but he always felt that there was something in her words.

"It's a pity you didn't take many pictures of the apocalypse."

In front of him, Zhou Wan took out her mobile phone and opened the WeChat interface on the screen with her slender fingers. In the chat history between her and Chen Ji, there was a photo taken by Chen Ji of Xia Shumin standing in the wine room.

The little lady in thick clothes stood in the wine cellar of the doomsday world that she had been to before, making her feel like she was actually there.

She inexplicably missed the time when she and Chen Ji were in the cold and dark world.

"I see!"

Chen Ji suddenly realized, "You just wanted to ask if you and I could also communicate across the world, right?"

"..."

Zhou Wan in front of him, a blush slowly appeared on her fair cheeks.

After being guessed, she said in a slightly panicked tone: "Of course that would be great if possible, so that I don't have to wait for you to come back from other worlds to know about your...those wonderful stories."

Chen Ji chuckled and asked Ma Yien, but unfortunately he couldn't communicate with Xiao Zhou Wan across the world.

"Feel sorry."

"It's nothing. It's best if you can communicate. It's okay if you don't have one."

Zhou Wan lowered her head to hide her mood.

Then he changed the topic and said: "I will introduce the real estate agent to you later. You have a chat with her and look at the photos first. If appropriate, you can invite Shumin to view the house."

Xia Shumin is the future mistress of Chen Ji's house.

Chen Ji smiled and said, "How about I take a few more photos with her this time for you?"

"I can dream...but if you want to take a picture and send it to me, I won't refuse. Keep it as a souvenir."

"good!"

Chen Ji laughed.

Opposite him, Zhou Wan lowered her head and took a sip of soup with a spoon, raising the corners of her mouth.
