Chapter 206 The Strange Woman
Chapter 206 The Strange Woman
"System, can you detect if there really is Jade Qiong Ning Bai Cao below?" Lin Xi couldn't help but call out to the system in her mind.
"The distance is too far at the moment, and no results have been detected yet," the system replied helplessly after scanning the area.
"Alright, then we'll have to go down."
"Let's go down together."
"Let's go down together."
Lin Xi and Ye Jinran replied at the same time.
The woman glanced at the two of them, smiled kindly, and said, "Alright, then take it easy, or you might fall."
"Can you do it?"
"no problem."
The two followed the woman as she slowly climbed down the mountain. It is worth mentioning that the woman's movements were very agile, unlike before. This cliff seemed to be as flat as flat ground for her.
Do you come here often?
"Oh, you mean this? I do climb this cliff often, I'm used to it. Actually, my husband and I used to live down here." The woman patiently explained, as if she had noticed her doubts.
"No one can live down here, right?" Lin Xi asked again.
"It's normal...actually, it's not so bad once you get used to it."
Lin Xi sensed that she was hiding something, but she didn't press the matter further and simply nodded.
Looking at Lin Xi, who was equally relaxed and carefree, Ye Jinran's brows furrowed, and he gained a deeper understanding of her abilities.
Before long, all three of them safely reached the ground at the foot of the mountain.
Looking around, Lin Xi found that the plants here were even more lush than outside, and the atmosphere of nature seemed to be extremely rich. Lin Xi took a deep breath and felt much more refreshed.
"Jinran, do you feel anything?"
"No, it just feels like the plants are more lush."
Lin Xi nodded in confusion, then took another deep breath, as if all the impurities in her body had been cleansed once again.
The woman kept a close eye on Lin Xi's reactions and actions, a hint of satisfaction subtly appearing in her eyes.
She then led the two of them to the place where she had previously picked the Jade Qiong Ning Bai Grass, and stopped there.
"This is it."
"Okay, thank you."
"Jade Qiong Ning Bai Grass detected. Please collect it as soon as possible." The system's voice rang in your mind, tinged with urgency.
Lin Xi looked at the pure white, jade-like plants in front of her and quickly collected them, storing them into the system while Ye Jinran wasn't paying attention.
When Ye Jinran came to her senses, she found that there was nothing but bare ground in front of her.
"Xixi, is she lying to us?"
"Well, I did manage to pick one, that's fine, let's go back." Lin Xi said without batting an eye, her expression very calm.
"Oh, that's fine then." Although she had some doubts, Ye Jinran trusted Lin Xi's opinion and didn't dwell on it anymore.
Lin Xi seemed to sense something, glanced into the distance, and then looked away. "Let's go."
After the two men finally left, the woman reappeared, followed by several other people dressed similarly.
"Finally, it's here."
"Yes, I hope we can succeed this time. This is our last chance."
"Yes, we will definitely win."
"Those people should be dealt with, otherwise the young lady will blame us when she comes back."
"Then let's get started and wait for the young lady to return."
After the three finished their sighs, they disappeared again, as if they had never been there at all.
If Lin Xi were there, she would have noticed a familiar figure among the three: the woman's husband.
.......
Back in the car, the two tacitly avoided discussing the matter. Lin Xi remained in the passenger seat, casually opening a video to watch.
No wonder people say watching videos is a real time drain.
Lin Xi scrolled down aimlessly, when two random words, "woman," caught her eye.
She glanced at the headline: "It's not that girls are troublesome, it's that girls' needs aren't being taken seriously."
Lin Xi stopped instantly and watched the video intently.
A few minutes later, Lin Xi's expression turned somewhat serious.
"Jinran, does your company develop women's products?"
"Yes, I have."
"Take me there."
After the car stopped, Lin Xi went into the production workshop first. After all, the Ye family was now hers, so it was just a matter of going into her own production workshop.
"Did this fail the inspection?"
"Oh dear, these are all things for girls. Why are you being so meticulous? We don't need them."
"That's true."
"Manager, this requirement can't be met. With the current cost, it's not enough to produce this many units."
"Then just reduce the length a little, do I need to teach you that?"
"But......."
"There aren't that many 'buts,' girls are just troublesome." A middle-aged man said impatiently before leaving.
The girl who had just spoken looked somewhat lost. Seeing that no one around her was refuting her, she could only sigh in reluctance.
Why is the world so harsh on women when they are born below them?
Lin Xi heard these words as soon as she entered, her face instantly darkened, and she quickened her pace as she went inside.
"Is this how you cut corners?"
A cold voice suddenly came from the doorway, and everyone turned to look.
A face that could make everyone's heart flutter appeared in everyone's sight.
So beautiful! Is this something a human could achieve? She must be a fairy.
Is this a newly emerging celebrity? Doesn't this look like she was born with a silver spoon in her mouth?
"Starting today, all the boys are expelled, and the girls are allowed to stay."
Her voice was cold and clear, slowly reaching everyone's ears. There was no smile on her lips, making people feel an inexplicable pressure.
The supervisor was the first to react, and said with a hint of disdain, "Who let her in? Don't they know that not just anyone can come into the production workshop?"
After the supervisor finished speaking, the boys around him slowly gathered around.
"Young lady, don't talk nonsense. This isn't a place for you to interfere. You should go back and buy some clothes, hahaha." The manager laughed smugly.
"Yes, girls should remember their place and not be unaware of what's important."
"You should hurry back and find a man to marry. If that doesn't work out, I'd be happy to oblige, hahaha."
Listening to the unfriendly words of the crowd, Lin Xi looked at everyone present with a blank expression, but she released an invisible pressure that made the crowd's voices grow softer and softer until they froze.
What are you all doing?
The man walked in slowly, dressed in casual sportswear. He was tall and slender, and his presence made everyone present feel intimidated.
"President Ye, you've arrived. You didn't even say a word." The manager quickly gave a wink, and everyone immediately dispersed.
"What, do I need to ask your permission to come here?" Ye Jinran asked calmly.
