“Yes, the hiring process doesn’t have any other requirements. Just follow orders and work hard,” she finally said.

The old woman and Xixi looked towards the source of the voice, and Xixi’s eyes immediately lit up with a sweet smile. “Big Sister!”

“Mm,” Qu Tong responded as she lifted her hand to tousle Xixi’s hair and took out two small tomatoes from her space and handed them to her: “Here, the fruit of the tomato seedling has ripened.”

Xixi did not stretch out her hand to take them, instead saying somewhat embarrassedly, “But the potatoes I grew are inedible.”

Xixi felt disheartened; she had been so careful, always covering them with a glass dome, watering and sunning them every day, but the potatoes she grew were still not up to edible standards.

“It’s okay, you can give me some you grow next time,” Qu Tong said as she put the tomatoes into Xixi’s hand to console her.

Once her protective shield was activated, the Special Ability released by the plants she cultivated would slowly purify the air and soil of this planet. By then, the vegetables and fruits they grew, even if not as tasty as hers, would have reduced pollution levels, and someday they would meet edible standards.

“Okay,” Xixi said as she took a tomato and popped it into her mouth. Her eyes immediately squinted, “Mm! So sweet.”

Taking the chance, the old woman inquired of Qu Tong: “Sister, is what you said true? Can we, who can’t even have our physical constitution measured, also work on the farm?”

Qu Tong nodded: “Yes, you should apply and see.”

“Oh, okay, okay, thanks, Sister. I’ll go take a look right now. I wonder if the salary will be enough to pay for a day’s Nutrient Solution?” the old woman murmured the second half to herself.

This reminded Qu Tong to consider whether to provide food and accommodation for the workers.

Having somewhere to stay was assured, but should they eat Nutrient Solution or ready-to-eat fruits and vegetables?

This would have to be discussed in detail with Xu An and Xiang Bin.

Qu Tong was here to speak with the owner of the trading company about some matters.

But was informed that the owner had business elsewhere and was not currently on this planet.

After leaving a message with the leader, Qu Tong went back.

A few days later.

Qu Tong was informed to visit the trading company again and was surprised to meet an old acquaintance.

The other party was clearly taken aback as well and immediately rose from the chair, “Sister, it’s you!”

Qu Tong found this address difficult to accept and coughed twice, “Hao Liang, you can call me by my name, Qu Tong.”

“It’s just a name. Xu An’s sister is my sister too, so calling you ‘Sister’ feels more affectionate. Come, please, have a seat,” Hao Liang said in a carefree manner.

Qu Tong sighed softly and sat down, focusing on what mattered.

“You have quite a broad business, Hao Liang.”

“Just passable, enough to support my family,” Hao Liang replied modestly with a big grin.

But Qu Tong didn’t believe it for a second.

She still remembered how he had made a million Star Coins just two months ago.

“Have you decided, Hao Liang? Is your trading company going to shut down or continue? This planet is now privately owned, and if you continue, there will be no government subsidy. And if there is, it will be mine.”

Hao Liang’s mouth twitched, and then he probed shrewdly, “Are you planning to plant that type of strawberries that your brother gave you on your farm?”

“No.”

There were also tomatoes, oranges, grapes, watermelons…

The light in Hao Liang’s eyes suddenly dispersed, somewhat lacking in enthusiasm.

He smacked his lips, as if deep in thought.

Qu Tong wasn’t in a hurry, resting her chin on her hand, her fingertips lightly tapping on the table without making a sound.

Just as Hao Liang decided to give up, seeing Qu Tong’s calm and composed appearance, he changed his tune, “Go ahead, I can afford to lose this little amount of money, bro.”

“Brother Liang is so generous.”

She was looking for cheap labor, so she didn’t plan to drive away the people here; it would naturally be more convenient to keep the business here as well.

Brother Liang: “…”

Suddenly feeling a bit of regret.

“However, you’ll have to sign a confidentiality agreement,” Qu Tong added.

This was something Qu Tong had planned from the beginning, including for those who wished to stay on the planet.

“That secretive?” Brother Liang’s hope was reignited.

Qu Tong didn’t explain but took out the template she had downloaded and printed from the official website for Brother Liang to see.

Brother Liang, having signed quite a few such agreements before, took a quick glance and signed.

“Sis, now that we’re in this together, are there any alliance benefits?” Brother Liang hinted meaningfully.

Qu Tong smiled and pretended not to understand, “Of course, you’ll have access to Luyi Star in the future.”

Brother Liang finally understood, Xu An, this ‘sister’, seemed obedient and cute, but in fact, she was a slippery little fox.

If you don’t speak directly, she can keep beating around the bush with you.

“Sis, let’s not beat around the bush, last time your brother took out two boxes of strawberries at once, and this time when I went to him, he was even hiding several strings of candied haws, Sister Zhaguo’s livestream and Mu An’s fruit shop both have purchase limits, do you guys have some internal channel, can you also hook your bro up with some?”

Sister Zhaguo?

Doesn’t she have an online nickname?

What’s with these people?

Qu Tong was somewhat speechless, but she didn’t show it.

“Then you should ask my brother.”

Mentioning this, Brother Liang became annoyed: “Your brother is like a stone in a dung pit, utterly ungrateful after all these years of friendship, he doesn’t think of me when he has good stuff, not even for money, it’s infuriating.”

Brother Liang slapped the table and looked at Qu Tong again, raising a smile, “You’re different, Sis, kind and gentle and cute…”

Qu Tong interrupted, “There’s no internal channel, but if you’re free, you can come to Luyi Star to help out more often, I’m still in need of someone with managerial talent.”

“I’m busy, how… could I possibly have the time!”

Brother Liang, having heard there was no internal channel and that she wanted him to work for free, immediately frowned.

As he was halfway frowning, he saw Qu Tong put two boxes of bright red strawberries on the table and quickly changed his tune.

He just knew it!

Brother Liang’s heart bloomed with joy as he reached for the strawberries and tasted one.

Yes, that’s the taste!

“However, I can only offer you a part-time position, coming over occasionally, and I can have my guys look after you. For a long-term plan, you’d be better off hiring a professional,” Brother Liang, his mouth full from the treat, offered his sincere advice.

“Part-time is fine,” Qu Tong naturally had considered this point too, but she wasn’t in a hurry, her hands were tied at the moment.

“I don’t want much, just twice a month, two boxes each time, and throw in some other fruits,” Brother Liang added his conditions.

Qu Tong considered for a moment and nodded in agreement.

The one thing she wasn’t short on was energy fruits.
