My Antique Mirror Is A Portal To Another World

Bai Hanyun nodded in agreement at Shen Yi's words and sighed. "Fighting nature is never easy."

Seeing her frown, Shen Yi hesitated, then said, "Miss Bai, if you trust me, I can ask my friend to help. He is the top student in physics and technology at Sheng Du University. He might have an idea on how to end the drought."

Bai Hanyun's eyes lit up at his words and said, "If your friend can help me, it would be the best."

Shen Yi chuckled and responded, "I will talk to him later. For now, do you want to buy some bullets first?"

Bai Hanyun nodded. "Yes. I will take one artificial rain cannon and ten bullets for now."

Getting the deal, Shen Yi smiled and excitedly said, "Alright. Do you want me to send it to your warehouse?"

"Yes." Bai Hanyun replied, then asked, "Boss Shen, do you have any other new products?"

"Of course. Miss Bai, please follow me."

With that, Shen Yi led her out of the safety room, locking it before guiding her back to the front of the store.

Returning to the front of the store, Shen Yi led Bai Hanyun to one of the glass cabinets.

Smiling, he said, "Miss Bai, this is our latest product, soft metal armor. It was designed to be bulletproof, yet comfortable enough to wear under clothing."

He then opened the glass cabinet and carefully took out the black soft metal armor, presenting it to her.

"To preserve our store's unique style, this armor was crafted based on historical records of soft armor from the ancient dynasties. Although the materials are made of metal, no one will ever realize its armor once it's worn."

Reaching out to touch it, Bai Hanyun's eyes flickered with surprise. A moment later, she said, "I thought it would feel hard and cold to the touch, but it's actually warm and soft."

Lifting her gaze to Shen Yi, she asked, "Boss Shen, how did you manage this?"

Shen Yi grinned and replied playfully, "Miss Bai, that's a company secret."

Knowing that trade secrets could not be revealed to outsiders, Bai Hanyun didn't press further.

Her fingers lingered on the fabric-like armor as she thought to herself. 'Instead of giving Feng Xiyan ordinary clothes, this armor would be far more suitable as a gift for him. If every soldier and general could wear it, casualties on the battlefield would drop significantly.'

With that in mind, she asked, "Boss Shen, how much does this soft metal armor cost?"

"It's four thousand yuan per piece," Shen Yi replied.

Bai Hanyun calculated quickly, then said, "Boss Shen, I want forty thousand sets. Do you have enough stock?"

Hearing the number, Shen Yi's eyes lit up. "Miss Bai, we only have a hundred sets in stock at the moment."

She thought for a moment, then asked, "How long would it take you to produce forty thousand sets?"

Shen Yi answered calmly, "At our normal production rate, we can make a thousand sets a day. It would take at least forty days to complete your order."

At that, Bai Hanyun frowned. "Too long. Boss Shen, can't you speed up production?"

Scratching his head, Shen Yi admitted, "It will be difficult, but I will check with the production team and see if they can prioritize your order."

After saying that, he pulled out his phone and dialed a number.

Once the line connected, he said, "Hello, Elder Brother. We just received a massive order—forty thousand sets of soft metal armor. How fast can you complete it?"

Shen Xuan, on the other end, was stunned. "A Yi, April Fool's Day has already passed."

Shen Yi was momentarily speechless when he heard that. Then he said flatly, "Elder Brother, do you really think I would joke about this with you?"

After a pause, Shen Xuan replied, "Mm. I suppose you wouldn't dare."

Rolling his eyes, Shen Yi pressed, "So? Can you produce them? And how long will it take?"

Noticing the urgency in his tone, Shen Xuan asked, "Is it that urgent?"

Shen Yi glanced at Bai Hanyun before replying, "Yes."

Shen Xuan did some quick mental math and said, "If it's urgent, I will prioritize your order and run all my factories at full capacity. It will take three days to finish this order."

Hearing that, Shen Yi broke into a grin. "Excellent! Then I will be waiting for your good news."

Ending the call, he turned back to Bai Hanyun. "Miss Bai, my elder brother says the order can be finished in three days."

Bai Hanyun was taken aback when he said that. 'An order that should take forty days can be completed in just three? Boss Shen's elder brother is truly efficient.'

She nodded, opened her banking app, and transferred ten million yuan to Shen Yi.

With a faint smile, Bai Hanyun said, "Boss Shen, this is the down payment for the soft metal armor, as well as the artificial rain cannon and bullets."

Shen Yi accepted the transfer with a smile and then asked, "Miss Bai, would you like to take a look at our other products?"

"Yes."

With Shen Yi leading her, Bai Hanyun browses the products on display, buying a few pieces of every new weapon and type of armor.

When she was done, she told him, "Boss Shen, please send these to my warehouse today."

Shen Yi nodded. "Alright. I will arrange delivery immediately."

After finishing her purchases, Bai Hanyun checked the time on her phone. "Boss Shen, I will be taking my leave now."

"Very well. Please walk slowly, Miss Bai."

Leaving the store, Bai Hanyun turned to Hua Yuyu and Gao Gong. "Brother Hua, Brother Gao, it's lunchtime. Let's eat first, then head to the warehouse."

Both men nodded, and the three of them found a nearby restaurant for a quick meal. Half an hour later, they left the mall and drove toward Bai Hanyun's warehouse.

On the way, Bai Hanyun's phone rang. Seeing the caller ID, she answered, "Hello, Manager Weng."
