A strong farm girl is busy getting rich

Concubine Dong said: "Besides this explanation, I can hardly think of any other possibility!"

The Second Prince obviously heard it, and narrowed his eyes again, saying: "In this case, then we can only find a chance to get rid of him!"

Shen Qingqian naturally didn't know that the bigwigs in the palace were discussing her affairs. She left the capital early in the morning and rushed home. The New Year was all about staying with family and eating and drinking. No matter how good the capital was, it lacked a sense of belonging.

Han Qingshan was a bachelor, so he followed them.

As soon as they returned to Black Stone Mountain, Shen Qingfeng came to find Shen Qingqian.

"Qing Qian is back so soon? How is it going? Is everything going well in the capital?"

"Yeah, it's okay. But it's better to go home."

Shen Qingfeng smiled and said, "It's good that everything goes well. We have a guest today, who said he is here to discuss coal business. My brother is receiving guests in the front hall, so I want you to come over as well."

"Okay, second brother, I'll pack up and come over."

After Shen Qingfeng left, Shen Qingqian washed her face, changed her clothes, and went to the front hall.

What she didn't expect was that the customer turned out to be the old man Shen Jiao had just found!

Seeing Shen Qingqian coming in, the man was obviously stunned. However, Xiao Mingyuan was a shrewd businessman after all. Although he didn't know the specific relationship between Shen Qingqian and Shen Qingping, Shen Qingqian's appearance here must be related to Shen Qingping.

Therefore, he did not immediately turn cold just because Shen Qingqian had offended him last time. Instead, he smiled and asked Shen Qingping as if he had never seen Shen Qingqian before: "Mr. Shen, who is this..."

Shen Qingping did not notice anything and said gently, "This is my youngest sister, Qingqian. My youngest sister is the one who runs our business. You can talk to my youngest sister directly about what Boss Xiao said."

"what?"

Xiao Mingyuan came to Shen Qingping once before the Lunar New Year, hoping to increase the purchase of coal at the original price. At that time, Shen Qingping said that he could not make the decision and had to wait until his younger sister came back to make the decision. Xiao Mingyuan had no choice but to wait, thinking that the person in charge should be there during the Lunar New Year. So, he came on the second day of the Lunar New Year.

I never expected that this little girl was the little sister that Shen Qingping mentioned, and the one who really calls the shots!

Xiao Mingyuan is a smooth person. He always observes people's words and expressions and rarely offends others. Unexpectedly, he miscalculated this time!

In his heart, he blamed Shen Jiao a little. It was all this woman's fault!

But in fact, Shen Jiao was just a canary he raised. How could he tell Shen Jiao about business matters?

Shen Jiao naturally wouldn't mention the Shen sisters to him. Even if she did, she would only say bad things about the Shen sisters, such as how they bullied her, how they were unfilial to their parents, and so on.

Therefore, Shen Jiao had no idea that Xiao Mingyuan's main purpose of coming to Ping'an Town this time was to discuss business with Shen Qingqian; Xiao Mingyuan also didn't know that the person he was looking for was actually related to Shen Jiao.

However, Xiao Mingyuan has always been flexible and thick-skinned. He immediately ignored the unpleasantness that happened with Shen Qingqian, put on a flattering smile, and said, "So this is Mr. Shen's little sister? It's really better to meet her in person than to hear about her! Miss Shen is not only beautiful, but also very capable. Mr. Shen is really blessed to have such a sister in his previous life!"

This is not only praising Shen Qingqian, but also praising Shen Qingping! Shen Qingqian's mouth twitched. This guy is really thick-skinned.

In fact, Shen Qingqian didn't take the last conflict with them to heart. She and Shen Jiao had fought more than once or twice, and Shen Jiao's level was such that she couldn't take advantage of her at all.

Anyone who comes is a guest. Regardless of whether the business can be successful or not, she will treat them with courtesy. Shen Qingqian smiled cooperatively and said, "What is the name of this master?"

Seeing that Shen Qingqian not only did not mention a word about what happened last time, but also seemed to have a very good attitude, Xiao Mingyuan knew that Shen Qingqian had no intention of arguing with him about what happened before, and he couldn't help but feel relieved.

"My name is Xiao Mingyuan, and I'm Xiao Zichuan's father."

"what?"

This was something Shen Qingqian hadn't expected. It turned out that he was Xiao Zichuan's father! Then, wouldn't Shen Jiao be Xiao Zichuan's stepmother? Oh my God!

No wonder Xiao Zichuan wrote in a letter before that if someone came to buy coal under his name, she should ignore it. With a father like Xiao Mingyuan, who is a pervert, the relationship between father and son must not be good!

At this time, Shen Qingping interrupted Shen Qingqian's thoughts.

“Little sister, Master Xiao came here once before, I told you.”

"Okay, I get it, big brother."

Shen Qingqian suppressed the sympathy she felt for Xiao Zichuan and began to talk about the matter seriously.

"Master Xiao came here today to sell coal?"

Xiao Mingyuan said, "Yes, didn't Zichuan have a contract with the young lady before? Six hundred tons per month, three taels and six cents of silver per ton. I want to double the purchase amount now, I wonder if the young lady can still follow the original price?"

What the hell! Shen Qingqian couldn't help but complain in her heart, what is the current price of coal, doesn't this old fox know? He actually wants to follow the original price!

However, Shen Qingqian still smiled and said, "The contract I signed with Xiao Zichuan still stands. However, the portion exceeding 600 tons can only be 15 taels of silver per ton."

Xiao Mingyuan rubbed his hands and said, "Miss Shen, can you lower the price for Zichuan's sake?"

Shen Qingqian rolled her eyes in her heart. She was still doing this for Xiao Zichuan's sake! Xiao Zichuan had already sent a message telling her that she didn't need to give him face! Besides, even if Xiao Zichuan didn't say anything, she couldn't go back to the original price. That was real money. Only a fool would not make money just for the sake of face!

Shen Qingqian picked up the teapot and personally poured a cup of tea for Xiao Mingyuan before saying, "Master Xiao has traveled a lot, it's impossible that he doesn't know the current price of coal!

To be honest with you, Mr. Xiao, I went to Jinyang City a few years ago, and I know the coal mines there very well. Fifteen taels per ton is already the lowest price on the market. I gave Mr. Xiao the lowest price only for Xiao Zichuan's sake."

Xiao Mingyuan was quite surprised that Shen Qingqian had actually been to Jinyang City! He knew what Shen Qingqian said. The coal in Jinyang City was monopolized by the officials there, which caused the price to increase several times.

He waited in Ping'an Town for so long, hoping to buy coal at a lower price here. Unexpectedly, Shen Qingqian knew the market and situation better than him!

In the end, Xiao Mingyuan could only settle for the price Shen Qingqian asked. Before leaving, he still said, "Miss Shen, the last incident was just a misunderstanding. Please don't take it to heart."

Shen Qingqian still had a decent smile and said, "It's just a small matter, Mr. Xiao, don't worry about it. What's more, we are now partners. In the business world, there are no eternal enemies or eternal friends, only eternal interests.

For the sake of our common interests, nothing else matters."

Xiao Mingyuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, a little girl actually has such insights, no wonder she can do great things!
