Gao Jie was stunned, and when he looked back, it turned out that Qi Meiyue was walking towards him with a smile.

In Gao Jie's mind, this Qi Meiyue is a strange woman with both beauty and wisdom, which is very rare in ancient times, and he respects her in his heart, and he also has a good impression of her, so he hurriedly said: "It turned out to be Sister Qi, the little brother is polite!"

Qi Meiyue returned the blessing with a smile and said: "Today is the major event of the blessing of the Fire God Bodhisattva, I guessed that Gao Gongzi would definitely come, but I didn't expect to really wait for you!"

Gao Jie said blankly: "Sister Qi, do you have something to do with me?"

Qi Meiyue pursed her lips and smiled: "Look at your sweet mouth, my sister shouts so affectionately, but I don't know if it's perfunctory or really I think I'm your sister in my heart?"

Gao Jie looked at Qi Meiyue's smiling face, stunned, and then smiled: "Naturally, it is sincere, Xiaojie has no brothers and sisters in his family, and when he sees Sister Qi, he feels quite close, but he can't help but shout a little abruptly!"

Qi Meiyue chuckled: "My clan brother Wusheng is a brocade guard, and he is away all the year round, if I can have such a handsome and interesting brother as you in the future, I can't ask for it, how can I blame you for being abrupt?!"

Gao Jie has very little contact with young girls, and the flight attendants and Li Jina, who are close to him, are cold and shy and cute, both of them are young girls, where have they met a mature woman like Qi Meiyue, whose little heart is fluttering and beating uncontrollably, and her white skin is also a little crimson.

He said embarrassedly: "That's good, that's good!"

Qi Meiyue is such a shrewd person, she noticed that Gao Jie was a little embarrassed, but she found it even more interesting, and said with a narrow smile: "Then let's talk about it, from now on, I will be an extra brother, I will call you Xiaojie, and you will call me sister!"

Gao Jie didn't expect this Qi Meiyue to be pressing forward step by step, which made him feel at a loss, and his face became even more ruddy.

However, he thought about it, if there is a sister who has clever means and wide channels in the business world, or a beautiful sister who looks very eye-catching and is not bad in her heart, it is not a bad thing, so he straightened his face and respectfully bowed and said: "Xiaojie greets my sister!"

Qi Meiyue thought that Gao Jie would be even more nervous under her own teasing, but who knew that this kid quickly adjusted his mood, and immediately made a big gift to his sister, which was both unexpected and admired, and she couldn't help but be sincerely happy, she hurriedly reached out to help Gao Jie up, and said seriously: "Since Xiaojie really recognizes my sister, we will be a family in the future, if there is anything in Puzhou that needs my sister's help, you are not allowed to see outside!"

Gao Jie nodded, and said seriously: "There is something now, Xiao Jie feels quite aggrieved in his heart!"

Qi Meiyue's pretty face froze, and she hurriedly said: "Come and listen, who bullied you, my sister will definitely try her best to help you out!"

Gao Jie's mouth was deflated, and he said pitifully: "I finally recognized a beautiful sister just now, and I sincerely used etiquette as proof, but my sister didn't say anything at all, do you think I can not be sad and wronged?!"

Qi Meiyue was stunned for a long time, and then she knocked on his head, and scolded with a smile: "Good for you, you little ghost, you dare to deliberately trick my sister!"

Gao Jie hugged his head and complained: "Why is my sister like my master, I like to knock on the skull and do such atrocities?!"

Qi Meiyue couldn't cry or laugh, and she was about to knock again, seeing that Gao Jie had the intention of hugging her head and running away, she looked at the handsome and interesting young man in front of her, and the love in her heart was even more, after thinking about it, she took out an object from her arms, handed it to Gao Jie, and said with a smile: "This is one of my sister's favorite objects, I gave it to you as a gift, see if you are still wronged!"

Gao Jie looked at the gift in his hand, his eyes lit up, and he still couldn't help but be surprised: "Sister, how can you have a pocket watch?!"

It turned out that what Qi Meiyue gave to Gao Jie was a well-made pocket watch from the West.

In 1504, the German Nurenburg craftsman Henrien used a clockwork to make a lightweight timepiece - the first watch, 15 centimeters high, shaped like a drum, made of iron, only one hand, so the error is extremely large. In the 17th century, pocket watches with hour and minute hands appeared. In the middle of the 18th century, pocket watches with seconds hands became the leading watchmaking industry in Switzerland.

Clocks and watches were introduced to China in the 28th year of Wanli (1600) of the Ming Dynasty, when the Italian missionary Matteo Ricci came to China to preach. At that time, the clock he gave to the Ming Dynasty was two large and small, because it was automatically struck on time, so it was called "self-striking clock", and pocket watches also came to China.

After that, the fleets engaged in sea navigation and trade would successively bring all kinds of advanced technologies and products from other countries to China, but at that time, the navigation technology was relatively backward, and it was too difficult to obtain a so-called foreign object.

Qi Meiyue was able to get such a rare pocket watch, which naturally surprised Gao Jie. Qi Meiyue saw Gao Jie's surprise on his face, she was very satisfied with her gift, and she was also quite happy, and said: "If you like it, it's good if you like it! This is given to me by a very good uncle of my father, he said that it is called a foreign watch, it seems that Xiaojie You have a lot of knowledge, and you even know this, but you don't know why you call it a pocket watch?!"

"Uh......" Gao Jie really couldn't explain, so he said perfunctorily: "I also saw it from an elder, and I saw that he often carried it in his arms, so he named it a pocket watch!"

Qi Meiyue thought about it carefully, the name of the pocket watch was also appropriate, so she nodded in agreement, but suddenly thought that this pocket watch had always been really in her arms, and it was no different from the personal thing, and now she was happy, and she gave it to this newly recognized brother without thinking too much, but I was afraid that the watch still had its own temperature and body fragrance, and I was ashamed!

She had a rare crimson look on her face, and quietly glanced at Gao Jie, and saw that he was playing with his pocket watch in love, and didn't notice her strange appearance, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

Then the two chatted affectionately for a while, and Qi Meiyue had something important to do at noon, so she was ready to leave.

Gao Jie said mysteriously: "After my sister goes back, she should receive an invitation, and she must appreciate her face tomorrow!"

Qi Meiyue curiously asked what was important, but Gao Jie never revealed any more information, Qi Meiyue had to give him a strange look, and then swayed away.

Gao Jie bid farewell to Qi Meiyue, returned to the apse to thank Master Tzu Chi, and by the way, gave a silver ticket of 1,000 taels, and then hurried back to Puzhou City.

The miracle has been prepared, and Gao Jie and his companions are nervously engaged in the preparations for the official opening of Pang Kee Firm at noon tomorrow.

Early the next morning, the people of Puzhou just walked out of their homes, and saw that the streets and alleys were full of cloth strips of various colors, on which were written: "Pang Ji firm opened a good fortune", "I wish Pang Ji firm a good fortune", "three days before the opening of the special reward", "reputation of the first fake one penalty ten" and other advertising slogans that can only be seen in later generations, in the city many shops that originally belonged to the Wang family are hung in red, and red posters with explanations of various preferential activities for rewards are also posted.

At the gate of the city, an official document from the state government yamen was also posted, indicating that the original property confiscated by the Wang family was now acquired by the Ponzi family.

And last night, all the big businessmen and officials who ranked up in Puzhou received a beautiful invitation, and the signatories surprised them inexplicably, and the name Pang Weifeng reappeared after disappearing from the business world for a long time. They were in different moods, but they were all thinking about the same question: "Could it be that this Pang Weifeng really got the favor of the Fire God Bodhisattva and made a windfall for no reason, so he rose again?"

Anyway, now everyone in the entire Puzhou City is basically talking about the same person and the same thing, and the news that the rich Wang Quanzhongquan was beheaded all over the house for collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country a few days ago did not cause such a big sensation, and it was soon drowned in the strong advertising and activities of the opening of Pang Kee Firm.

At noon, the officials and wealthy businessmen who received the invitation came to the "Yu Garden", the famous residence of the Wang family, with curiosity. The plaque on the gate of the current Yu Garden suggests that the future name of this house is "Fu Lin Yuan", which is only interlocking with the miracle of yesterday's fire god blessing, which makes people have to believe that this Pang family is the main owner who has received the blessing of the fire god Bodhisattva.

Today's Puzhou autumn is high and cool, the sun is shining, Pang Weifeng is splendid, ruddy complexion, graceful, how can there be a little shadow of the previous downfall, it is simply the appearance of a high-spirited business arrogant, he politely led the guests at the gate, and arranged for people to lead the guests to the Fu Lin Garden.

When the guests arrived at their destination, they realized that the banquet was not held indoors, but in the midst of a fruitful orangery in Fulm Garden.

Gao Jie was ingenious in cleaning and arranging the orange grove that Wang Quanzhong was most proud of, the ground was tamped and leveled, and a red carpet was laid out in the open area, and rows of fabric sofas were placed in a staggered manner.

These sofas were all customized by Gao Jie in his furniture workshop in accordance with the patterns and requirements he drew in the past two days, because there was no sponge to be found, and they were really filled with new cotton.

The sofa has never been seen by everyone, after carefully trying to sit, only to find that it is so comfortable and soft, sitting on it, bathing in a comfortable autumn day, while enjoying good tea, while talking with familiar guests, each feeling novel, there is very comfortable.

After the guests arrived, Pang Weifeng came to the center of the venue to express his gratitude to everyone for their presence.

Then the square tables with small wheels were pushed to the middle, covered with red cloth, and exquisite dishes, fruits, and drinks were also served on the table.

At this time, Gao Jie appeared as Pang Weifeng's nephew, explaining to everyone that the Pang family's banquet this time was prepared according to Western Western food, in the form of self-service, and pulled up the smiling Qi Meiyue to demonstrate how to eat first, and then announced the start of the meal.

All the guests were incredible, and at first they felt that they were not used to eating like this, but as people who knew each other well got together and chatted while eating delicious food, everyone not only accepted the new way of dining, but also liked the free and casual atmosphere.

The new governor Zhao Yannian had already seen Gao Jie and Pang Weifeng under the introduction of Luo Sigong, how dare he put on a score at this time, he chatted with Gao Jie and others very happily, and took food on a plate like everyone else, looking so satisfied.

A small number of people who have a lot of whispers about this way of dining, seeing that the adults of Zhizhou are so naturally integrated, how dare they show it, they are all smiling and participating in this unique buffet.

And at noon, with the sound of crackling firecrackers everywhere, all the shops in the city opened their doors and began to welcome customers. Because the content of the event has long been publicized outside the store, the top 10 guests can enjoy half price after shopping, the first 100 guests can enjoy a 10% discount, and all guests can receive a small gift for free. Therefore, at the entrance of each shop, under the guidance of the escort team led by Hu Laosan, there was a long queue, and Puzhou City became more lively, as if it was time to purchase New Year's goods.

In this way, Pang Kee Commercial Bank took root in Puzhou, Shanxi Province in an unprecedented and unheard of way.
