"My phone number is also my WeChat ID. Go ahead and add me."

"Okay, I’ll add you now."

After she hung up, a friend request with the name Cao Wenzhou popped up immediately.

She accepted the request, added a contact name for him, and immediately sent over an address.

Cao Wenzhou: Okay, I’ll have someone deliver it to you.

Jiang Li: Let’s do it tomorrow. I’m a bit busy today.

Cao Wenzhou: No problem.

Cao Wenzhou: Is tomorrow morning okay?

Just as Jiang Li replied with "OK," her phone rang again.

This time it was the moving truck; it was already outside the villa.

"Alright, I’ll have someone come out to meet you."

Just then, Xie Wan came over with a plate of sliced fruit. Jiang Li instructed her, "The man from the moving truck is here. Lead him to the parking garage, then get a few people to move all the things that arrived yesterday into the garage."

"Understood."

Xie Wan set down the fruit platter and relayed Jiang Li’s instructions into her earpiece as she walked away.

Jiang Li remained seated on the sofa. She still had to wait for Jiang Manshu and the others.

Besides, if she went to move things, she’d end up all sweaty and have to shower again. It was too much trouble.

’She spent money to enjoy life, not to make herself suffer.’

’A person really ought to learn how to enjoy themselves.’

About ten minutes later, Xie Wan returned to the living room to report to Jiang Li. "Miss Jiang, everything has been loaded onto the truck, and the driver has left."

Jiang Li nodded. "Good work."

After a moment’s thought, she opened the villa’s group chat and transferred 1,000 to each person.

She was met with a flood of "thank yous."

Shen Yanzhi returned, carrying bags of all sizes. Seeing Jiang Li and Xie Wan in the living room, he couldn’t help but ask, "I saw a moving truck on my way in just now. Were you having something moved?"

Jiang Li immediately shot up to help Shen Yanzhi with the bags, but he didn’t appreciate the gesture. With a deft sidestep, he dodged her, leaving her grabbing at empty air.

She clicked her tongue in annoyance before answering his earlier question. "It was nothing. Just all the stuff I bought yesterday got delivered here, so now I’m having it sent to the hotel."

Shen Yanzhi strode toward the kitchen, and Jiang Li followed right behind him. "Can two girls manage all that?"

Jiang Li raised an eyebrow. "I hired six helpers."

He didn’t know what she had bought, but if it required delivery, it was probably a lot of stuff.

He dumped the bags unceremoniously onto the quartz countertop. "Well, you’d better give them a bonus."

"I transferred ten thousand to each of them," Jiang Li said, watching Shen Yanzhi’s expression.

Then she noticed he actually seemed quite pleased.

She clicked her tongue, then snapped her fingers. "Oh, by the way, I called Mom earlier. She said she’s already left, so she should be here in about ten minutes."

Shen Yanzhi paused. "In that case, have a few people come over to help prep. Otherwise, I’m afraid there won’t be enough time."

Jiang Li pouted. "Can’t I help?"

Shen Yanzhi turned around, a hint of a smile on his face. "Not unless you want to ruin those nails."

Jiang Li smiled. "Then I’d better not."

She had just gotten a manicure and didn’t want it ruined so soon.

"I’ll go round some people up for you, then."

She left the kitchen, found Xie Wan, and relayed Shen Yanzhi’s request.

In an instant, people appeared from all directions and filed into the kitchen, leaving Jiang Li stunned.

With nothing else to do, Jiang Li decided to follow them into the kitchen. It was a good thing the kitchen was so large; otherwise, it never would have fit so many people.

The staff divided up the tasks—one person washing vegetables, another prepping them, another chopping...

It was a dizzying, multifaceted operation.

But despite the number of people, they were all very disciplined.

Jiang Li thought for a moment, then pulled her phone from her pocket, snapped a photo, and turned her attention to bothering Zhong Mufeng.

Qingbao: Is your Shen planning on cooking a state banquet? There are so many people.

Jiang Li: I don’t know what he’s making, but he certainly bought a ton of groceries.

Jiang Li: It’s a shame you’re not free, or I would’ve invited you over.

Qingbao: No way, I have no desire to go be a third wheel.

Qingbao: Besides, I have a ready-made meal waiting for me when I get home from work now. I don’t have to be jealous of you anymore.

Jiang Li: And just who do you think found that person for you?

Qingbao: Thank you, Mommy, love you~

Jiang Li: Piss off!!!

Jiang Li shuddered. ’That girl is as mischievous as ever.’

On the other end of the line, Zhong Mufeng smiled knowingly and turned off her phone screen.
