Chapter 1733 - 1728: Lining Up in the Middle of the Night

Feeling Hu Xiaobei’s gloom, they chuckled softly and said, "You only celebrate when you’ve won it all, right?"

Rubbing his nose, Hu Xiaobei muttered quickly, "We’ve already scored a phase victory, so it’s totally fine to celebrate a bit now!"

"What you’re saying makes sense too!"

Hearing that, Hu Xiaobei smiled.

But very soon, his smile froze on his face again.

Because at this moment, they started talking again.

"We already brought red wine over earlier, you can just drink it later."

"Yeah, sip it slowly and properly celebrate this phase victory. We’ll be heading off first."

"I..."

Hu Xiaobei opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but there was really no need anymore.

Because by now, they had already left in a hurry.

Watching them walk farther and farther away, Hu Xiaobei silently sighed.

"Next time I chat, I really need to learn to pick my topics. Some topics are really not suitable to bring up!"

Muttering so depressedly, Hu Xiaobei looked at the decanting red wine on the table.

All of a sudden, he felt like it didn’t smell that good anymore...

...

"What’s that noise, why is it so loud?"

The next morning, before Hu Xiaobei even opened his eyes, he heard a ruckus coming from outside.

He subconsciously muttered a line, then sat straight up.

Circulating his Nine Wood True Qi once to fully restore his mental state, Hu Xiaobei walked over to the window and looked outside, and the next second, he was directly stunned.

Because he saw that there were a lot of people outside.

The whole street was packed, a dark mass of people.

"What the hell is going on!"

Muttering that, Hu Xiaobei quickly walked out.

"Well, well, the culprit is here. Judging from the look of you, you slept great last night!"

Hearing that slightly depressed teasing, Hu Xiaobei looked over quickly and saw Shangguan Xue and Lv Xinxin sitting in the Gazebo not far away.

Right now, both of them were sporting big dark circles under their eyes. Obviously, they hadn’t rested well last night.

After staring at them carefully for a while, Hu Xiaobei finally voiced his confusion and surprise, "What’s up with you two? Didn’t sleep well last night?"

Hearing his question, they sighed. "Duh, once it passed midnight, it got noisy outside. How were we supposed to sleep well?"

"Exactly!"

After leaving Hu Xiaobei’s room last night, they each went back to their own rooms to rest.

Having run around the whole day, they figured they’d definitely sleep like a log.

But what happened? They’d barely lain down when they heard noise outside. At first they thought it was just something random, but later they realized it wasn’t, because that racket went on the entire night.

Hearing them bring up the noise outside as well, Hu Xiaobei quickly said, "Right, I was just about to ask you, what’s going on out there? Is there some new shop opening again today? How come there are so many people gathered?"

"Idiot, all those people are here for us!"

"Yeah, who told a certain someone to brag yesterday, saying he’d be cutting stones again today and giving away jade for free."

Hearing their gentle teasing, Hu Xiaobei froze for a moment.

Very soon, he gave a wry smile.

Only now did he realize the root of everything was actually himself.

...

"So they’re here for me. But even if we’re giving away jade for free, there are way too many people, right! Did we do some kind of promo?"

Hu Xiaobei really hadn’t expected this big of a stir.

"Xiaobei, so you do get surprised! I always thought nothing in this world could shock you."

Hearing that slightly astonished tone, Hu Xiaobei helplessly rubbed his nose. "Don’t joke, I obviously get surprised too!"

"Hahaha!"

They chuckled and said, "Actually, it really wouldn’t have caused such a huge sensation on its own. The reason it blew up like this is mainly thanks to Ou Jingtian. He helped advertise us."

"He advertised for us? How?"

A big question mark popped up over Hu Xiaobei’s head.

"Strictly speaking, he didn’t do it on purpose. It was the TV station!"

After that one-line explanation, they described things in detail, and once he finished listening, Hu Xiaobei finally understood everything.

Turned out the TV station had already set aside a huge block of airtime due to Ou Jingtian’s request, planning to do an in-depth feature on him.

In the end, Ou Jingtian’s shop collapsed.

This sudden development left them dumbfounded...

Naturally, they couldn’t run that report anymore. Under those circumstances, they had to find a replacement, so they chose Hu Xiaobei’s jade store.

That crazy wave of coverage let everyone know what was going on over here, so people started lining up from last night. By now, even though the shop wasn’t open yet, the outside was already packed with people.

"So that’s how it is. Then what is this for us, a blessing in disguise?"

"Pretty much! But we’ll still have to sacrifice a raw jade stone today!"

"Haha, with such good traffic, who cares about losing a few raw jade stones!"

"True!"

With that, the three of them went to have breakfast together.

After the meal, Hu Xiaobei headed to the shop with them...

"Morning, manager!"

As soon as he walked in, he heard an extremely excited greeting...

Looking up, Hu Xiaobei saw that everyone was staring at him with excited faces.

Seeing the worship in their eyes, he knew he’d completely won them over.

Smiling slightly, Hu Xiaobei said, "You’re all here pretty early!"

As he spoke, he took a more careful look at them and noticed their energy and spirit were much, much better than before.

"Nothing to do at home anyway, so we came early!"

"Yeah!"

Because business had been so good, none of them could sleep, so they all showed up early.

Hearing their replies, Hu Xiaobei smiled and said, "Since you’re all here early, let’s open up early too! That way the people outside don’t have to wait as long."

"Yes, sir!"

After they responded, Hu Xiaobei suddenly added, "Oh right, go to the warehouse today and pick out a big raw jade stone. We’ll cut it in front of everyone and give it away again."

"Okay!"

They nodded quickly...

Then they started bustling about.

Originally, Hu Xiaobei had planned to do the stone cutting himself, but later he gave up on that idea.

Because he knew he might have more important things to deal with today and really couldn’t handle everything at once.

...

Five minutes later, all the staff opened the doors.

"They’re open!"

Seeing the doors swing open, everyone waiting outside got excited.

Looking at how worked up everyone was, Hu Xiaobei smiled slightly. He knew the jade shop’s popularity had taken off, so from here on out, it was time to reap the fruits of victory.
