Chapter 61 Unexpected

　　Gu Ranran didn't react for a moment.

　　The other person walked up to her and called out again, "It's really you, Ms. Mao."

　　Gu Ranran looked up and saw that it was Shopkeeper Sun.

　　She was wearing a mask and sunglasses today, and the other person's eyes were too poisonous.

　　Gu Ranran greeted with a smile, "Manager Sun, what are you doing here?"

　　Shopkeeper Sun pointed to a middle-aged woman not far away and said, "My wife likes to tinker with a small vegetable garden. So I accompanied her to buy some seeds."

　　He then said, "You are here to buy seeds to plant on the farm."

　　Gu Ranran has always had a good impression of Shopkeeper Sun.

　　The other party has done business with her so many times and knows that Gu Ranran = Ms. Mao.

　　But after all this time, I still call myself Ms. Mao.

　　There is only one possibility, seeing through it but not pointing it out.

　　Manager Sun deserves to be rich, his emotional intelligence is really low.

　　In fact, what Gu Ranran didn’t know was that in the antique circle, it was not uncommon for sellers to hide their real names.

　　Especially those who have family heirlooms, nine out of ten of them use pseudonyms.

　　Coming back to her senses, she nodded, "Well, there is still a lot of vacant land on the farm. I'm thinking of planting more fruits and vegetables."

　　Shopkeeper Sun finally couldn't help but ask the question that concerned him the most, "Ms. Mao, when will you have something good to show me?"

　　Ever since Gao Zhiguo bought two paintings from Gu Ranran last time, he hasn't done any business with her again.

　　Now I rely on looking at the inventory at home to satisfy my craving every day.

　　Gu Ranran hesitated for a moment and said, "Wait until I'm done with my work."

　　She didn't say anything definite this time.

　　First of all, Lao Sun is indeed a nice person.

　　Secondly, Shen Moyuan seemed to be ready for a protracted war with the prince. Using the strength of one city to fight against a country, or even two countries, would definitely cost a lot of money.

　　Not being rejected directly, Shopkeeper Sun was overjoyed, as happy as if Gu Ranran had already agreed to the transaction tomorrow.

　　…

　　The 'Let's Farm' program team.

　　The director and Sister Wu were a little overwhelmed when looking at the screen full of comments.

　　I know that Gu Ranran is very popular now, but I didn’t expect that the show would collapse so badly without her.

　　Jiang Yi and Chu Muyao, one is a movie emperor and the other is a popular young actress, but they can't even lead a variety show.

　　The director had to admit the fact that Gu Ranran was not just here to increase popularity, she had now become the mainstay of the show's ratings.

　　Fortunately, Jiang Yi and Chu Muyao didn’t know, otherwise they would have been so angry that they would vomit blood.

　　Seeing the ratings continue to decline, Sister Wu asked worriedly, "Director, what should we do?"

　　The director frowned and took a deep puff of cigarette. "Let's stop for a few days and wait for Gu Ranran to come back before broadcasting again."

　　If the ratings really drop to a certain level, there will be no way to save the show.

　　Instead of doing this, it would be better to raise the audience's expectations, and when Gu Ranran comes back, it will surely create a new climax.

　　Sister Wu continued to ask: "Then, what's the reason for the suspension?"

　　The director hesitated for a moment and said, "It's either a fire protection renovation or construction project on the farm. You can edit it as you see fit."

　　Sister Wu was completely speechless. It turned out that she had the lowest status in the production team, so why did she get all the work?

　　Ancestral home.

　　The people delivering poultry seedlings have arrived one after another.

　　Cages and stacks are neatly arranged.

　　Gu Ranran skillfully operated the crane and conveyor belt, transporting everything to Liangzhou City.

　　Shen Moyuan could hardly believe his eyes when he saw so many furry little creatures.

　　I didn't expect Miss Ranran to be so quick. In just half a day, a girl like her managed to get so many things.

　　Soon, the entire secret room was filled with creaking sounds.

　　He instructed Chen Zhi and Chi Ying, "Go and call the Qingming Guards and inform the people to come to the gate of the palace to collect the poultry."

　　After working for more than an hour and just getting the chickens, ducks and geese out, pigs, cows and sheep began to appear in the tank.

　　Concubine Xiao was originally in her room. When she heard the noise outside, she hurried out to see what was happening.

　　"Yuan'er, where does this come from?"

　　Shen Moyuan invited her to the secret room, where things continued to appear in the water tank.

　　Concubine Xiao exclaimed, "Miss Ranran has supported the entire Liangzhou City by herself. How much money must that cost?"

　　This point touched Shen Moyuan's heart.

　　Not to mention the money, he felt very guilty for making Ranran, a girl, run around every day and carry such heavy things.

　　"Mother, I have an idea." Shen Moyuan suddenly mustered up his courage.

　　But he swallowed the words back when they came to his lips.

　　"Son, please tell me what you want to say." Concubine Xiao grabbed Shen Moyuan's hand and patted it, "But what do you need mother to do?"

　　If it could ease her son's guilt a little, he would be willing to do anything she asked.

　　Shen Moyuan shook his head slightly, "It's okay, mother. My son hasn't made up his mind yet."

　　Five days later.

　　After traveling day and night, Eunuch Liu finally arrived in the capital.

　　These days, he was worried every day that if he was infected with the plague, all the power and honor that were about to come to him would be gone.

　　Thinking of this, he decided to lie to the prince.

　　…

　　An hour later, the prince summoned him to the East Palace.

　　After Eunuch Liu entered, he prostrated himself on the ground and cried loudly, "Master, Master, I almost couldn't see you anymore."

　　The prince fed a preserved fruit into his mouth and scolded impatiently, "Why are you howling like a ghost? I'm not dead yet. If you have something to say, please say it quickly. Did Shen Moyuan embarrass you?"

　　Eunuch Liu wiped his tears and said, "No, I didn't see the King of Liangzhou."

　　Wu Zhanshi interrupted and asked, "How dare he not see you when you have the prince's order?"

　　Eunuch Liu did not keep the secret any longer and explained the truth, "I noticed something strange about the soldiers in Liangzhou when I was outside the city, so I kept an eye on them."

　　"I saw that their faces were covered with red rashes and they were in low spirits, so I didn't dare to enter the city."

　　"My life and death are minor matters, but if I bring the plague to the capital, I will die."

　　When Eunuch Liu finished speaking, he burst into tears again, which was very moving.

　　The Crown Prince and Minister Wu looked at each other with joy in their eyes.

　　He waved his hand at Eunuch Liu and said, "Go ahead. You did a good job. There will be a big reward for you later."

　　Eunuch Liu was a little confused.

　　Just like that? No one asked about the grain collection?

　　How can you say he did a good job?

　　After Eunuch Liu left, the prince clapped his hands and laughed, "Zhanshi's plan really worked. You are the first to destroy Shen Moyuan this time."

　　If he had not proposed to send Concubine Xiao, the source of the plague, to Liangzhou City, the situation would not be like this now.

　　Wu Zhanshi rubbed his chin with his fingers and said, "Your Highness, I still think there is something strange."

　　"Your Highness asked Nanchu to take Liangzhou City by themselves, but Nanchu has not sent us any news so far."

　　"We'd better send someone to investigate again."

　　Logically speaking, regardless of success or failure, the other party should give a response.

　　The prince laughed and said nonchalantly, "Zhan Shi is too cautious. Even if Nan Chu did not attack Liangzhou City, Shen Moyuan would not be able to escape the plague this time."

　　Chapter 62 Price Increase

　　The prince had his reasons for being so confident.

　　Eunuch Liu has always been smart, and he didn't know about the rash in advance. Since he could tell people about it, he must have seen it with his own eyes.

　　Wu Zhanshi has always been cautious, and he continued, "Your Highness, it is better to be safe than sorry. We should make plans for both scenarios."

　　"I will send someone to investigate in Nanchu right away."

　　The prince nodded in satisfaction, "With Zhanshi here, I can rest assured."

　　"Pass on this palace's order. From now on, all prefectures and counties must strictly guard against Liangzhou and must not have any contact with it."

　　The plague is no joke. Even mosquitoes flying out of Liangzhou City must be kept outside the city walls.

　　Liangzhou City was extremely bustling at this time.

　　The people lined up in front of the palace gate to receive their poultry and livestock.

　　In the past few years, anything edible, whether flying in the sky, running on the ground, or swimming in the water, has been eaten.

　　It turned out that the prince was very powerful. Not only did he get food for them, he also distributed chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cattle and sheep.

　　The people were so grateful that they kowtowed three times towards the palace before receiving the gifts.

　　In the study.

　　Shen Moyuan instructed Chen Zhi, "From today on, the soldiers guarding the city will take turns taking the Star Dream Grass."

　　The trick must be done before the prince completely believes that he has contracted the disease.

　　After a moment of silence, he continued, "Also, spread the news to Nanchu and say that Liangzhou City is infected with the plague."

　　Yu Wen Ze suffered a great loss last time, so he will definitely not give up easily.

　　If they join forces with the prince and a million-strong army approaches, even Gatlin will not be able to resist.

　　According to his estimation, the prince's revenge would reach its peak after Emperor Dewu's death.

　　Before the storm came, Liangzhou City had at most three months to prepare.

　　Chen Zhi was about to go to work when he suddenly thought of something. "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that the Star Dream Grass may not be enough. You'll have to trouble Miss Ranran to find some more."

　　Shen Moyuan nodded. He was thinking about more than just the Star Dream Grass.

　　He picked up the brush and wrote a letter to Gu Ranran.

　　…

　　At this time, Gu Ranran was talking on the phone with Sister Wu.

　　"I say, auntie, is your rash better?"

　　The show has been off the air for five days, and netizens have been furious.

　　['Let's Farm' resumes broadcast] This topic has been the top trending search topic on Weibo for several consecutive days.

　　The second place is [Let Gu Ranran go back to the entertainment industry]

　　"Not very good." Gu Ranran said while feeding Dudu milk powder, "Or I should quit. I'm still not suitable for the entertainment industry."

　　As if she were a ball? Rolling around.

　　Sister Wu: …

　　"Auntie, please stop making trouble. No one is more suitable for the entertainment industry than you."

　　It's really a sin. Do netizens have such strong tastes nowadays? They like to watch Gu Ranran scolding people on live broadcast.

　　Gu Ranran walked to the pearwood stool and sat down, saying in a cold voice, "Sign a supplementary contract again, I want a pay increase."

　　I have worked as a free laborer in Blue Rain Media many times before. Now that the opportunity has come, I must double the compensation.

　　What's more, she is now the woman who has to lead Liangzhou City to fight against Nanchu and Daqian, and she cannot miss any opportunity to make money.

　　Sister Wu was not surprised by this request. Gu Ranran did have the capital to act like a big shot. She took a deep breath and spoke gently, "How much do you want to add?"

　　Gu Ranran curled her lips and smiled, "Five million and one yuan."

　　Sister Wu felt her head buzzing. It was really Gu Ranran who had been so competitive all her life.

　　Chu Muyao's salary was five million, so she just got five million and one yuan, insisting on suppressing the other party.

　　That’s right, Gu Ranran really thought so.

　　If she didn't make her enemies angry to death, how could she be worthy of the good luck bestowed upon her by her ancestors?

　　Five million is not a small amount of money.

　　Sister Wu covered the receiver and lowered her voice to seek the director's opinion.

　　The director got authorization from Feng Shao before coming, and he has the power to handle all matters big and small of this variety show.

　　After thinking for a few seconds, he nodded and said, "Promise her, but she must sign a confidentiality agreement. Also, ask her to come back to work tomorrow."

　　Chu Muyao must not know about this, so that she won’t bother Mr. Feng again.

　　Sister Wu picked up the phone to reply to Gu Ranran, but found that the other party had hung up long ago.

　　This woman is really so arrogant now, and the key is that there is nothing we can do about her.

　　She called again and said, "The boss agreed to the pay, but there are two requirements. First, I have to go back to work tomorrow, and second, I have to sign a confidentiality agreement. I'm not allowed to tell anyone about this."

　　Gu Ranran: “!!!”

　　What a cunning guy! The other party actually saw through my intention.

　　Forget it, let’s get the money first. As for keeping it confidential, sometimes the news doesn’t have to come from her mouth.

　　Jiangcheng, on the top floor of an 88-story skyscraper.

　　Luo Jingnian stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and overlooked the entire Jiangcheng scenery.

　　The well-cut haute couture suit and the tall and straight figure are also very admirable in themselves.

　　Boom boom boom.

　　There was a knock on the door.

　　"Come in." Luo Jingnian said lightly.

　　Special Assistant Su came in from outside with a folder in his hand.

　　He walked up to Luo Jingnian respectfully and said, "Boss Luo, this is the contract for the acquisition of Dahua Group. Please take a look."

　　Luo Jingnian did not accept the contract. He turned around and walked to the desk and sat down. "Did you find out what I asked you to check?"

　　Assistant Su nodded slightly, "I found out that Miss Gu has been staying in the residence at No. 7, Xiaohe Village, most of the time these days. In addition, she also went to the poultry market and the seed market."

　　Chapter 63: Acting like a spoiled child

　　Luo Jingnian tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table. After listening to Special Assistant Su's report, he said, "From now on, Gu Ranran's affairs will come first. Tell me first."

　　Assistant Su was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, Mr. Luo."

　　It seems that Ms. Gu holds a very high position in the boss's heart, at least higher than the tens of billions of acquisition contract just now.

　　"One more thing." Luo Jingnian took a photo from the drawer and handed it to Special Assistant Su, "Keep an eye on this person. If there is anything against Gu Ranran, report it to me immediately."

　　…

　　Xiaohe Village.

　　Gu Ranran received a letter from Shen Moyuan.

　　[Miss Ranran, we still need a lot of Star Dream Grass here. I hope you can help buy it. ]

　　[Also, Shen remembers that you said last time that you can buy any props there. I would like to ask, do you have any mannequins? ]

　　[Miss, please don't misunderstand me. I want to use a dummy to confuse Nan Chu and the prince. If you don't have one, I can ask the craftsmen to make one out of hay.]

　　Gu Ranran was amused by Shen Moyuan.

　　They have known each other for such a long time, but why is he still so cautious, as if he is afraid of offending her?

　　She recorded a video reply: [Brother Shen, the matter of the dummy is easy to handle, I will arrange it. ]

　　[I will also go all out to buy Star Dream Grass. ]

　　Star Dream Grass is a plant grafted by Dr. Chen himself and does not have the conditions for mass production.

　　The eighty-plus pairs Xia Ke bought last time were probably all he had in stock.

　　She will be back to work tomorrow, so she has to deal with these things today no matter what.

　　She first drove to a clothing factory in the city and asked for the phone number of the model props manufacturer.

　　After the call was connected, Gu Ranran directly said that she wanted to open a large clothing store and needed 5,000 fake models.

　　The other party did not ask many questions, added Gu Ranran on WeChat, collected a partial deposit and started mold production.

　　She then went to a Chinese medicine clinic.

　　There weren't many people queuing today, only four or five.

　　Seeing that she was wearing a mask and sunglasses, everyone subconsciously moved to the side.

　　After waiting for an hour, it was Gu Ranran's turn to go in.

　　She directly stated her purpose, "Doctor Chen, how many Star Dream Grasses do we have left in our clinic?"

　　Doctor Chen stretched out his hand to feel Gu Ranran's pulse, and then said the same thing as last time, "The little girl is in good health, why does she want to eat Xingmeng grass?"

　　Gu Ranran took off her mask and said, "To be honest, I am a graduate student at Longguo Medical University. My research topic is the side effects of Chinese and Western medicine in treating insomnia."

　　She muttered to herself: Don't blame me, Doctor Chen. I wanted the Star Dream Grass because I wanted to save people. I didn't mean to lie.

　　Doctor Chen's eyes flashed with displeasure, "What side effects does my Star Dream Grass have?"

　　Gu Ranran nodded, "Yes, I told my mentor that Star Dream Grass is the best herb in the world. It is not only effective, but also has no side effects."

　　As she spoke, she observed and found that Doctor Chen's brows and eyes had relaxed a lot.

　　Sure enough, there is no one in this world who doesn't like to hear nice words.

　　Then, Gu Ranran changed the subject, "But our instructor and classmates don't believe it."

　　"We even held a debate on this in our school."

　　Doctor Chen's interest was piqued, and he asked eagerly, "What was the result of the debate?"

　　Gu Ranran paused and said, "The school is going to buy some Star Dream Grass and find some people with insomnia to do an experiment."

　　"It's a pity that you probably don't have that much Star Dream Grass here, alas."

　　Doctor Chen slapped the table, giving Gu Ranran a fright.

　　The old doctor's loud voice came, "This test must be done. I can provide you with as many pairs as the little girl needs."

　　Seeing that the PUA was successful, Gu Ranran concealed her inner excitement and said, "Five thousand copies, the more people there are, the more convincing it will be."

　　She was already being
