Chapter 17: Will you never want me again?
Zhou Peirong did not notice anything strange about Li Yulian.
While arranging the mule cart, he said to Li Yulian with a smile: "The tofu sold very quickly today. Thank you for your hard work!"
"The hard work is done by Ergou, and I am only responsible for collecting the money. You don't know this!"
Li Yulian murmured something in a low voice without leaving any trace, and glanced at Jin Yueru, the master and the servant.
"Erlang, these two are..."
"Oh, I almost forgot."
Zhou Peirong smiled apologetically at Jin Yueru and quickly raised his finger to point at Li Yulian.
"Ms. Jin, this is my sister-in-law, Li Yulian."
"Sister-in-law, this is Miss Jin Yue Ru Jin, and she is my distinguished guest."
"Sister-in-law, please wait a moment. Miss Jin and I still have something to discuss."
"We will go home after Miss Jin and I have finished talking."
"Um."
In front of outsiders, naturally one cannot call Li Yulian directly by her name.
Li Yulian responded softly, moved the chairs for the two of them to sit down, and then retreated outside the shop.
But although she was outside, her eyes kept drifting towards the inside of the shop.
"Brother, your sister-in-law seems to care about you very much!"
I noticed Li Yulian's furtive gaze.
Jin Yueru smiled and said to Zhou Peirong meaningfully.
"My brother died young, so my sister-in-law and I have always been dependent on each other."
"The relationship between us is naturally closer than that between an ordinary uncle and a sister-in-law."
Zhou Peirong twitched the corner of his mouth unnaturally.
He hurriedly explained, and then put on a serious expression.
"Miss Jin, let's talk about business! If what I predict is true, Miss Jin should be very interested in my papermaking skills!"
"To be precise, it should be inevitable!"
Jin Yueru didn't mince words, but nodded decisively.
"This papermaking technique is your brainchild, brother. Therefore, the little girl will naturally give you a satisfactory price."
"Of course! If brother has other requirements or ideas, you can tell me directly."
"As long as a little girl can do it, that little girl will have no problem with it!"
"Miss Jin is really refreshing, I admire you!"
When Zhou Peirong heard this, he was immediately overjoyed and said to himself, "I'm just waiting for your words!"
What this cooperation is about is another matter.
For Zhou Peirong, the most important thing is to establish a stable cooperative relationship with Jin Yueru.
Of course!
It would be even better if Jin Yueru could be developed into a backer.
In order to achieve this goal, Zhou Peirong does not mind paying more.
"I can give this papermaking technology directly to you, Miss Jin."
"In the future, Miss Jin, no matter how much paper you produce and what price you sell it at, I only need 10% of the profit."
Zhou Peirong said with a serious face.
Even though Jin Yue Rujing had seen a lot, she was also shocked by Zhou Peirong's words.
But soon, Jin Yueru's expression returned to normal.
"It seems that in this transaction, what Xiongtai values most is not the monetary income!"
Jin Yueru sat up straight and looked at Zhou Peirong with sharp eyes.
"Brother, if you have any special requests, please tell me!"
"However, Yueru would like to remind Xiong that if what Xiongxi asks for is very big or violates Yueru's principles."
"Then Yueru can only endure the pain and give up cooperation with Xiongtai."
Although this papermaking skill is precious, Jin Yueru also wants to get it and use it to achieve his own goals.
But if she is asked to take too big a risk for this, she will never accept it.
Zhou Peirong naturally understands Jin Yueru's concerns.
He can be sure that Jin Yueru's identity is certainly not simple.
But no matter how noble a person's status is, there are always things that need to be feared and things that cannot be done.
"Don't worry, Miss Jin, I'm not that greedy person."
"My only wish is to rely on my own abilities to make some small fortune and lead my sister-in-law to live a good life."
"It's just that the situation here is a little bit special."
Zhou Peirong briefly and concisely explained the situation in Liming County.
"I ask myself that I still have some skills. I can find ways to make a fortune by myself. It is not difficult to make money."
"But if you can't keep the wealth you have worked hard to accumulate in your heart, wouldn't it make people laugh?"
"So, brother, you want me to take action when necessary to prevent you from being exploited, right?"
Jin Yueru breathed a sigh of relief, turned her jade palm over, and a token fell into her palm.
"This is the token of my Jin's Trading Company. Please keep it, brother."
"With this token, at least in this Shu County territory, most people will not embarrass you!"
While talking, Jin Yueru handed over the token.
"In that case, I will thank Miss Jin in advance for taking care of you."
Zhou Peirong stood up quickly and took the token in his hand, feeling extremely happy in his heart.
For a long time to come, this token will be his talisman.
With this thing, he won't worry about anyone trying to oppress him.
After putting away the token, Zhou Peirong took a long breath and immediately extended an invitation to Jin Yueru.
"Ms. Jin has been working hard all the way. I wonder if Miss Jin can appreciate the honor and let me host a banquet to cleanse her from the dust?"
"That's not necessary!"
Jin Yueru stood up slowly and shook her head in refusal.
"The caravan has just arrived here, and there are still many things that I need to deal with."
"It won't be too late to hold this banquet until we sign the cooperation agreement!"
"That's fine!"
Zhou Peirong did not force it, but hugged Jin Yueru again.
"Since Miss Jin still has things to deal with, I won't keep you any longer."
"I live in Xifeng Town. If Miss Jin wants to find me, she can go directly to my house!"
"When I finish handling the caravan's affairs, I will visit Xiongtai at his home."
Jin Yueru returned the favor to Zhou Peirong and then left with her maid.
Jin Yueru was sent away.
Zhou Peirong then drove a mule cart and returned to Xifeng Town with Li Yulian and Li Ergou.
Return home.
Li Yulian didn't say anything and went back to the room alone.
Zhou Peirong was still immersed in joy, but he didn't notice anything strange about Li Yulian.
Although his cooperation with Jin Yueru is already a sure thing.
But he still had to make good preparations.
This busyness lasted until dinner time.
Only then did Zhou Peirong realize that something seemed wrong.
"Why hasn't Yulian cooked dinner today? Is it because she's feeling unwell?"
Zhou Peirong frowned, quickly put down the things in his hands, and quickly walked into the room.
As soon as he entered the door, Zhou Peirong heard Li Yulian sobbing.
Zhou Peirong's expression froze and he hurried forward to ask.
"What's going on? It's so good, why are you crying?"
"Erlang, will you not want me anymore in the future?"
Li Yulian stopped crying and looked at Zhou Peirong with tearful eyes.
