Chapter 38 Anxiety
Since I left Mr. Chen's house that day, I officially joined Lin Mu's agency and became Lin Mu's partner.
Lin Mu didn't think that I had taken half of his company. Instead, he was very happy to have me.
I could probably understand from what he said that as an agency, some of the houses they take back will be unclean.
"You don't understand. If the house is really not clean, the owner won't tell us. Our goal is to rent it out, and we can't control anything else."
Lin Mu shook his head with helplessness on his face.
"Then who will be responsible if something happens?" I was a little curious.
"They're trying to shirk responsibility. We said it was the landlord who didn't explain it clearly, and the landlord said we couldn't explain it clearly." Lin Mu shrugged and poured me a glass of water.
While still chatting with Lin Mu, Jin Yun walked in from outside the door.
"I was wondering why I couldn't find you at home, and I was thinking about having hotpot together tonight."
Since I became familiar with Jin Yun, we often hang out together.
Later, as we started doing business with Lin Mu, we added one more person to our team.
Jin Yun especially likes to eat hot pot. Of course, I don’t have any requirements for it, so she often comes to my house to find me and my cousin to eat hot pot with her.
Dong Jing is sometimes there too, but as long as Jin Yun is around, she doesn’t talk much.
I always feel that there is a wonderful atmosphere spreading between us, but I can't understand what it is.
"We have something to do today, so we are all here. Why don't you go back first? We can eat together later when we get home."
I lit a cigarette and handed one to Lin Mu.
I didn't mean to chase her away, but we were talking about something here and I was afraid she would get bored.
"It's okay, I'll sit down and listen. What are you talking about?" Jin Yun sat down, picked up the cup of tea that Suzuki poured for me, and drank it directly.
I didn't even have the chance to explain to her that the cup of tea was mine, but she drank it, so I didn't say anything else.
"It's been so long since the last incident. Have you found the Soul-Restoring Pearl?"
Seeing that we didn't say anything, Jin Yun took the initiative to ask about the Soul-Restoring Pearl.
If she hadn't asked, I would have almost forgotten about it.
When she said that, I became anxious again.
My cousin has not had much to do at home recently, so he has been looking through old books, trying to find clues about the Reincarnation Pearl in them.
But unfortunately, he searched all the books but still couldn't find any information about the Soul-Returning Pearl.
"I heard that thing is just a rumor. It's not certain whether we can find it. I think I can only live on the pills Dong Jing made for me in this life."
When I mention this matter, I feel depressed.
Lin Mu stretched out his hand and pinched my shoulder: "There is no smoke without fire. There must be a reason for everything. There must be such an incident for others to say so. So don't worry, Mr. Wen can definitely help you find the Soul-Restoring Pearl."
I shook my head and said nothing more.
I have heard these words of comfort many times. Even my cousin told me the same thing.
But I only look at the result, and the result is that no one can find the Resurrection Orb, and no one knows the whereabouts of the Resurrection Orb.
Jin Yun looked at me with a worried look in his eyes.
I saw her eyes rolling around and she said to me, "Not long ago, my father and I went to an antique fair. There were countless things there. Among them were some spirit beads. I don't know if they were soul-restoring beads, but I think you should go and take a look. Anyway, your cousin knows what the soul-restoring beads look like, so bring your cousin along when the time comes."
Listening to Jin Yun's words, my eyes lit up.
"When will this antique fair be held again?" I asked Jin Yun.
Boss Jin has business dealings with those antique tycoons, and as his daughter, Jin Yun must know some inside information.
If it's really like what she said, then I have found the right person.
"If I remember correctly, there will be an antique fair next month at a luxurious manor in the north of the city. Young Master Chen will be there, too. You can talk to him and see if he can get you in."
Jin Yun paused, and said a little embarrassedly: "My father and I only went there with the invitation, so we probably can't bring more people. But Master Chen is different. He provided the luxurious manor, so he can probably take all of you in."
When I heard this, I knew it would definitely work.
After all, I helped Young Master Chen avoid this disaster, and he also promised me that he would definitely help as long as he could.
Not to mention taking us to a luxurious manor, he would never leave me out even for financial support.
Ever since he gave me one million last time, I haven't asked him for money again. I just asked him to take us into the luxurious manor, and I don't think it will be a big problem.
"Okay, I'll call Master Chen now. You guys sit down for a while, and after we agree on a time and place, I'll go home with you. You guys have to treat me to this hot pot, too!"
Hearing that I seemed to be saved, Lin Mu also seemed a little nervous.
I have to say, besides being a very good business partner, he is also a good friend of mine in real life.
He left the store alone and went to communicate with Mr. Chen on his cell phone.
Only Jin Yun and I were left sitting in the store.
There were not many people in the store these days. The weather was cold and we didn't want to go out, so we just turned on the heater in the store and sat inside to chat.
"Is business good?" Jin Yun looked at me, a little worried.
But I knew she wasn't worried about the business, she just didn't know how to express herself, so she changed the subject.
I shook my head. "There aren't many orders in the store, and my cousin hasn't gotten any house-cleaning jobs. We're just sitting here living off our savings, but it's not a big problem. There will be a few months without income."
I was not too worried about money. I gave all the money I earned to the village chief and asked him to help me move my ancestral grave.
There are still some miscellaneous money left on hand, which adds up to about 100,000 yuan. Just eating and drinking in this city, I estimate that it can sustain me for two or three years.
"It's good that nothing happened. You need to calm down now. You can definitely find the Soul-Restoring Orb. It's just a matter of time. You have so many friends. We will definitely help you."
With Jin Yun, I am not so worried anymore.
"But there is one more thing I want to remind you of. Since you have nothing to do recently, if you have time, go to the antique market. Maybe there are some good things there, including your resurrection bead."
I rolled my eyes and felt that what she said made sense.
Anyway, there is still some time before the antique fair, so I might as well go shopping around while I have nothing to do recently.
