“You should stop worrying about your health. Hurry up and recuperate before talking about anything else.” Gu Man interrupted the atmosphere between the two of them.
She glanced in the old man’s direction and already had some thoughts in her heart. “My company happens to be hiring. If you don’t mind, you can come to my company to do some simple rough work.”
If Gu Man directly asked the old man to come to the company for a white-collar salary, neither Guo Guo nor the old man would agree. Moreover, the old man’s education level was not high. Giving him a high position would make him feel uncomfortable.
Guo Guo and the old man looked in Gu Man’s direction in an instant. The old man’s eyes were filled with excitement, but he suppressed the excitement in his heart and shook his head to reject her. “Miss Gu, I’ve already troubled you a lot. I can still find work.”
“You’re already at this age. I’m afraid it’ll be difficult to find a job. Besides, I’m indeed hiring. I’ll be relieved if you came in,” Gu Man said sincerely.
When the old man saw this, he opened his mouth but could not say anything to refute. Coincidentally, he needed money now, so he could only say shyly, “Then 1’11 have to trouble Miss Gu, but don’t increase my salary or anything like that.”
Gu Man knew that the old man was a very principled person. She did not intend to say that she would deliberately give the old lady a high salary because part of the reason she did this was to make Guo Guo let down her guard and get along with her sincerely.
With Guo Guo’s ident.i.ty and her skills, she could earn enough money for the two of them to live without worry.
“Gu Man.” Guo Guo called out Gu Man’s name, but she did not say anything else. She stared straight at Gu Man, the burning gaze in her eyes seemed to want to burn her to ashes, but in the depths of her gaze, there was an imperceptible trace of doubt.
With Guo Guo’s current thinking, she probably could not understand why someone would treat them so well unconditionally.
Gu Man met Guo Guo’s gaze calmly. Ice and fire collided and produced different sparks.
The old man left at some point and took out the things in the drawer and stuffed them into Gu Man’s hand.
It was an extremely small fragment. It was black all over and still emitted shallow spiritual qi. The entire surroundings emitted a faint light, as if it had been carefully wiped.
“I found this small fragment when I was packing last time. It looks like it’s made of the same material as a meteorite, so 1 wanted to give it to you when you came.” The old man scratched his head.
Gu Man looked at the small fragment and pondered for a moment. In the end, she did not stand on ceremony with the old man and put the fragment into her pocket. However, just as she touched her pocket, the touch in her hand suddenly disappeared. Her heart skipped a beat, but she could not take it out in front of the two of them. She could only find an excuse to leave temporarily.
As soon as she left the wooden house, she took out the meteorite from her pocket and realized that the black fragment had disappeared, and a small bead had appeared in her pocket.
The entire bead was round and smooth, suffused with a faint black light. If one continued to look, they could actually see the flickering white dots inside, as if the entire universe was contained inside.
However, Gu Man clearly remembered that she still had a meteorite in her pocket. In order to avoid running out of spiritual power during the treatment today, she even specially brought a meteorite over.
But now, when the meteorite and the black fragment collided, they became one. However, the two meteorites in her hand did not seem to have fused together.
Gu Man looked at the extremely small bead in her palm and couldn’t figure it out, so she put it back in her pocket. She wasn’t too surprised. After all, the existence of this meteorite was already a very strange thing. As for what happened to her, it seemed to have become normal.
However, when she returned, she would see if she could merge it with the meteorite from the auction.
She walked into the ghost market.
At this moment, the ghost market was already bustling. Perhaps it was because they had restocked, but many stalls were actually suffused with faint spiritual energy. However, the spiritual energy was not enough compared to the spiritual energy on the meteorite..
