Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm

Chapter 1029: Chapter 1029 Shen Bai Has Arrived_1 Chapter 1029: Chapter 1029 Shen Bai Has Arrived_1 “If it’s as you say, then it doesn’t count as swindling someone,” Tong Sanlang spoke up, finding the whole printing process burdensome just to think about.

“Let’s drop it, we’ll handle it ourselves,” Qiao Xiaomai waved her hand, signaling Tong Sanlang to turn the cart around and head back.

“You mentioned yesterday that we need ‘gum clay’? What is that?” Tong Sanlang asked.

“It’s clay mixed with glue, but we don’t have glue here, so let’s try using pottery clay,” Qiao Xiaomai said.

“All right,” Tong Sanlang nodded, “Shall we stop by the Jiwei Residence to have a look?”

“No need, there’s nothing worth buying,” she replied.

“Then…” Tong Sanlang’s words suddenly halted.

Another person was standing in front of the cart, not Shopkeeper Zhou, but Shen Bai.

A bad premonition suddenly surged in his heart.

“Young Master Shen, good day,” he stopped the cart, jumped down, and greeted him with a bow.

Shen Bai greeted them with a warm smile, “Scholar Tong, Miss Qiao, long time no see, how are you both?”

“Thanks to your blessing, my spouse and I are quite well,” Qiao Xiaomai also hopped down from the cart.

“Oh, it’s not due to my blessings. I’ve caused inconvenience to both of you before, and for that, I am truly sorry,” Shen Bai’s handsome face showed a trace of remorse, “Do you both have time? If you do, perhaps you could join me at Zuixian Building for a sit-down?”

Tong Sanlang and Qiao Xiaomai exchanged glances before nodding.

So Shopkeeper Zhou was reassigned to the Capital City, and the position of the shopkeeper of Zuixian Building in Bailu Town was taken over by Shen Bai…

That seemed to be an underuse of his talents.

This was the man who, along with Yang Hao, had provided disaster relief in Shuifeng Prefecture; now he was being asked to run a mere restaurant–it was beneath him.

Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang both felt that Shen Bai’s talents were wasted here, but Shen Bai didn’t see it that way. Jiwei Residence’s impact this winter put Zuixian Building in a difficult position, which now threatened the very foundation of the Shen Family.

The Shen Family was involved in numerous businesses, but Zuixian Building was the most profitable of all. Now that it was being thoroughly outperformed by Jiwei Residence, it was natural for him to take a hands-on approach in its management.

After what happened with Shopkeeper Zhou blocking the cart, he sincerely apologized to Tong Sanlang and Qiao Xiaomai, hoping that they would not hold a grudge against the entirety of Zuixian Building because of one person’s actions.

Shen Bai was earnest in his attitude. Qiao Xiaomai pursed her lips before saying, “Young Master Shen, we hold no prejudices against Zuixian Building, but we have already signed an agreement with Jiwei Residence. Any new products we have will be sold exclusively there.”

Shen Bai showed a puzzled look upon hearing this, “Why would you two make such a decision? If Zuixian Building and Jiwei Residence were to bid fairly, surely your profits would be higher than choosing just one establishment.”

Considering a possibility, he asked, “Hm… did Jiwei Residence offer you a better deal?”

Qiao Xiaomai nodded, “At Jiwei Residence, they take thirty percent, and we take seventy percent of the sales of our goods. This winter, we’ve made a considerable amount of silver for Jiwei Residence. The Prime Minister said, to show his sincerity, the agreement has been changed to a twenty-eight split, and in the future, it might even go to a ten-ninety split.”

“A seventy-thirty split was a very tempting offer for both of us at the time, so we signed without further thought,” she added.

Shen Bai is a good person, but Minister Shen is not, and the Shen Family might be ruined this year.

She couldn’t think of a good excuse on the spot to fend off Shen Bai if he guessed that Jiwei Residence had offered them a better deal, so she’d just go along with it.

After all, it wasn’t exactly making things up–the profit from selling at Jiwei Residence would indeed be hers to keep.
