The Fake Rich Daughter Knows a Bit of Metaphysics and Leads Her Whole Family to Become Wealthy - Chapter 16

Chapter 16: Delivering Flowers and Encountering Ghosts

After getting rid of those two annoying people, Jiang Zhixu was in an excellent mood and bought a cup of milk tea.

“Pearl milk tea is really delicious.”

688 looked envious. “I want to drink it too.”

Jiang Zhixu patted its head. “This is not suitable for you to drink. Be good, I’ll buy bamboo shoots for you.”

Although it was a string of code, the panda could still sniff the scent of bamboo shoots.

“Host is really nice.” 688 rubbed its face against Jiang Zhixu’s cheek and asked, “Does the host really need to go to work?”

“Yes, I need to. Otherwise, my family will worry about me.”

“But I’ve already made arrangements. Everything will go smoothly.”

The flower shop was real, but it wasn’t owned by Jiang Zhixu’s friend; it was her own shop.

When Jiang Zhixu arrived at the flower shop, she saw that someone was already busy inside.

This was Xia Wan, a freshman college student she had hired as a summer worker. Xia Wan was a quiet girl with a birthmark on her face that made her feel inferior.

“Good morning, boss,” Xia Wan said.

“Good morning,” Jiang Zhixu replied with a smile.

Xia Wan fidgeted with her apron. “Boss, these are the new flowers that arrived this morning. Take a look.”

“There are 32 types in total. I returned the ones that weren’t fresh and asked them to resend.”

Jiang Zhixu picked a few flowers to examine and skillfully bundled them into a bouquet, wrapping it in paper.
It looked quite beautiful.

Xia Wan watched in amazement.

How did she bundle the flowers into a bouquet so quickly?

And it looked really beautiful.

Jiang Zhixu handed the bouquet to Xia Wan. “It’s a gift for you.”

“What? A gift for me? This bouquet is too beautiful to give away,” Xia Wan said, waving her hand in refusal.

It would be a waste to give it to her. This bouquet could be sold for a good amount of money.

“Take it. Consider it an early Qixi Festival gift for you,” Jiang Zhixu said, stuffing the bouquet into Xia Wan’s hands.
“Work hard and don’t embarrass me.”

Xia Wan stood frozen, holding the bouquet and biting her lip as she looked at Jiang Zhixu’s smiling face.

This was the first time she had ever received flowers, and it was a particularly beautiful bouquet.

“Th-thank you, boss. I’ll definitely work hard,” Xia Wan said.

A bouquet of flowers had sparked Xia Wan’s motivation, and she was full of energy for the rest of the day.

Jiang Zhixu hadn’t expected a bouquet of flowers to have such a significant impact.

She bowed her head to bundle flowers, checked the order numbers, and then handed them over to the delivery personnel.

Fortunately, she had experience pruning flowers and plants at the Bai’s residence and had even learned floristry specifically for it. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to open this flower shop.

After a busy day, Jiang Zhixu sat in front of the computer, checking the finances.

Her flowers weren’t expensive, with single stems costing one yuan each, regardless of the variety. Bouquets ranged from 30 to 100 yuan, and there were none above 100.

After a day’s work, she had earned 2,300 yuan. After deducting the cost of purchasing flowers, her income was almost negative.

Fortunately, this was just a way to pass the time. If she relied on this to make a living, she would probably go bankrupt.

“Boss, I’m done cleaning up. I’m heading off,” Xia Wan said.

Jiang Zhixu looked up and saw Xia Wan holding the bouquet of flowers he had given her that morning. She smiled and nodded. “Alright, be careful on your way home.”

“See you tomorrow, boss.”

“See you tomorrow.”

After Xia Wan left, Jiang Zhixu was about to wrap up and close the shop when a new order came in.

She had set the closing time to 8 PM, and it was currently 7:55 PM.

Jiang Zhixu took a look and saw that it was for the most expensive package at 96 yuan. She also noticed that the delivery address was in the same direction as her home.

She thought, “Why not deliver it myself? It won’t take much time.”

After packaging the flowers, Jiang Zhixu closed the shop and suddenly remembered that she hadn’t brought her electric scooter.

“Host, you have a sports car,” 688 reminded her.

Delivering flowers in a sports car? That was a bit extravagant.

Jiang Zhixu decided to give it a try and drove the sports car to the delivery location.

When the person who ordered the flowers saw her arrive in a sports car, they were shocked and wide-eyed.

“Remember to give me a good review,” Jiang Zhixu said.

The person replied, “Y-yes, of course.”

In this day and age, flower shop owners drove sports cars, while some people still rode electric scooters.
The disparity was stark.

Jiang Zhixu got into her car and left. However, as she drove to the intersection, she caught a glimpse of ghostly energy lingering in the air.

[Ding! Resurrection ghost detected. Please capture the resurrection ghost. Reward: 6,000 luck value, 2 million yuan, an electric scooter, an Audi, and 100 talismans.]

Damn, the reward is so rich.

Jiang Zhixu stepped on the accelerator and sped towards the location.

Ghost! Don’t run! I’m coming!

When she arrived near the destination, she got out of the car to avoid making any noise.

The compass in her hand rotated once and pointed forward.

688 looked serious, staring ahead. “Host, judging from the ghostly energy, this ghost might have some cultivation.”

Jiang Zhixu: …

No wonder the reward was so generous. It seemed like this ghost was waiting for her.

She felt a bit unhappy and nervous.

As she walked forward, the ghostly energy grew stronger.
Suddenly, a scream broke the silence.

“Ahh! There’s a ghost!”

Jiang Zhixu rushed over and saw a man running away in panic.

“Ghost! There’s a ghost!”

Jiang Zhixu’s eyes narrowed, and she strode forward. Finally, she saw the vengeful ghost covered in dark energy.

At that moment, the ghost was about to suck the vital energy from a girl.

Jiang Zhixu charged forward, and the heavenly thunder talisman in her hand was released.

The thunderous sound shook the sky, and lightning flashed, striking the ghost and causing it to jump in surprise. The ghost dropped the girl and dodged.

When it saw Jiang Zhixu, it charged towards her without hesitation, its terrifying face looking incredibly frightening.

“You’re ruining my business! I’ll kill you!”

Jiang Zhixu dodged the ghost’s attack, threw out talismans, and summoned a peach wood sword, forcing the vengeful ghost to retreat.

After throwing out the last talisman, the ghost’s chest was burned by fire, and it fell to the ground in disarray.

Realizing it was no match for Jiang Zhixu, the ghost’s figure flashed and disappeared.

Jiang Zhixu took out her compass and was about to chase after it when she saw the girl lying on the ground.
She called 120.

After hearing the sound of the ambulance, Jiang Zhixu left.

She headed south to an abandoned construction site.

The area was overgrown with weeds, and some building materials had not been removed. The air was dry and stuffy.

A gust of wind blew by, and the atmosphere turned eerie.

Without any light, Jiang Zhixu bought a small flashlight from the system mall and walked forward, holding it in her hand.

“This ghost is quite good at hiding,” she said. “It won’t be easy to find him.”

688 suggested, “Why don’t I try to locate him?”

“Can you locate him?” Jiang Zhi Xu asked skeptically.

688 replied, “Yes, after the host reaches level 3, the system space’s skills will gradually unlock, including location. However, it requires a location talisman.”

Location talisman?

“Is it available in the system mall?” Jiang Zhixu asked.

688 replied, “Yes, it’s available. It doesn’t cost 998 or 198; it only costs 98. Isn’t that a great deal?”

Jiang Zhixu said, “It does seem like a good deal.”

She bought two location talismans, preparing to stick them on the ghost when she encountered it.

The surrounding area was filled with ghostly energy. Jiang Zhixu closed her eyes, carefully sensing the atmosphere, and the water talisman in her hand slowly rotated.

Suddenly, she opened her eyes, and the water talisman flew out of her hand.

With a splashing sound, the water drenched the vengeful ghost.

The ghost emerged from the black fog, looking like a drenched chicken, and patted its body to get rid of the water.

This water was no ordinary water; it could weaken the ghost’s abilities.

“Bastard!” the ghost shouted in anger.

Jiang Zhixu smiled, her fingers gently stroking her long hair. “Thanks for the compliment. I’m still lacking in many ways and need to learn more.”

The ghost: ??? No, who was complimenting her? She was shameless.
