The two entered the room one after the other, and after sitting down, Lin Shuyun got straight to the point.

"Young Master Ke, I've heard you're a businessman too. How about we discuss a business deal?"

Ke Xiuming stared lecherously at Lin Shuyun's face. "What kind of business does the young lady want to do? Let me hear it first. If it's suitable, I'll agree to it."

This young lady is really beautiful.

Even though he wore a woman's hairstyle, his extensive experience with women allowed him to tell at a glance that she was still a virgin.

"Let's do the dried apricot business." Lin Shuyun took a sip of tea. "I'll supply the dried apricots, and you'll be in charge of sales. We'll split it 40/60, I'll get 60% and you get 40%, how about that?"

Ke Xiuming chuckled, "My beauty, is your brain a little too sharp, or are you trying to fool me?"

Dried apricots? The Ke family is in business, and his father travels to many places all over the country; they wouldn't even look at something like this.

"How about you spend the night with me, and I'll buy all the apricots in your garden?"

Ke Xiuming flicked his fan, the implication being quite clear.

In Ke Xiuming's view, what's the point of using force? He's always liked beautiful women who are willing to do it.

Whether it's using money or deception, as long as the goal is achieved, that's fine.

"Boss Ke, you seem to have seen the world. Let me ask you, have you ever seen dried apricots of this quality anywhere else? How much do they cost per pound?"

"Dried apricots are easily affected by moisture and are not easy to preserve. I can guarantee that my products will last for at least six months as long as they are not soaked in water..."

Lin Shuyun was not angry, and calmly sat down to analyze the situation for Ke Xiuming.

"That sounds somewhat interesting, but your dried apricots are gold-plated and can be stored for half a year? Young lady, you have such a big mouth!"

Ke Xiuming thought this young lady had a rather intimidating presence, even more so than his father, and he almost got intimidated by her.

"Then let's make a bet." Lin Shuyun took another sip of tea.

If this kid still doesn't agree, she'll beat him up and then leave.

If a deal falls through, goodwill and righteousness also disappear.

"If the stakes were to be your wife, I'd agree." Ke Xiuming leered and reached out his groping hand to touch Lin Shuyun.

Lin Shuyun stood up and moved away, a smile playing on her lips. "Boss Ke has taken a liking to me. You want to sleep with me?"

Ke Xiuming felt weak in the knees at that smile. "Don't be so direct. We're just getting what we need now, my little beauty."

"Hey, Mr. Ke, don't be in such a hurry. Let's sign the contract first."

Lin Shuyun picked up a pen and paper from the table in the corner and quickly wrote down the contents of the contract.

The three-story rooms are all equipped with paper and pens, as those who enter are generally wealthy or noble, for the convenience of the guests.

Without saying a word, Ke Xiuming signed and put his fingerprint on the document, secretly chuckling to himself. So be it, he didn't believe that a young woman could outmaneuver a seasoned business veteran like him.

"Now, my little beauty, can I finally get intimate with her?"

Lin Shuyun dodged aside, walked to the window, reached out and grabbed something outside, then beckoned to Ke Xiuming with her finger, "Boss Ke, look what this is, come and play!"

“You, you you you…”

Upon seeing the small, bright green snake with its forked tongue sticking out in Lin Shuyun's hand, Ke Xiuming immediately cowered in fear.

I almost fainted.

"I'll keep the contract. The dried apricots will be delivered to you in half a month. We'll exchange money for goods then. It'll be a pleasant cooperation between us, Mr. Ke!"

Lin Shuyun took one copy of the two-part cooperation agreement for herself. Seeing that the kid was quite frightened, she decided to postpone beating him up for the sake of future business.

As for the little cutie in her hand, she found it when she went upstairs. She didn't know where it came from, but it was stuck in a pot of flowers.

After using it, Lin Shuyun put the little cutie back.

As Lin Shuyun descended the stairs, Feng Hao rubbed his eyes in a side room on the second floor.

"Isn't that Brother Changtian's wife? Or am I seeing things?"

Feng Hao was about to go to the county today, and just as he was about to leave, he ran into an acquaintance, so they agreed to sit down at the teahouse.

The scholar sitting opposite him immediately looked over and saw only a slender figure from behind.

"Who do you think that is? Brother Changtian's wife? If I'm not mistaken, she came out of that room upstairs. That Young Master Ke is notorious for being a womanizer."

When Feng Hao looked up, he saw that it was Ke Xiuming who had come out, looking weak in the knees and with kidney deficiency.

An acquaintance shook his head. "Brother Changtian is really unlucky. He was already in a bad situation, and now he's got grass growing on his head. Sigh..."

"Don't talk nonsense, maybe it's not true." Feng Hao said this, but he felt a pang in his heart.

Such a beautiful woman like Lin was actually cheating on Changtian with her brother...

……

……

Lin Shuyun arrived at Renxin Medical Clinic humming a little tune.

When Dr. Yang, who was on duty at the clinic, saw that she had returned empty-handed, he was somewhat surprised and said, "Madam Lin, your dried apricots sold out so quickly? I was just saying that if I couldn't sell them, I would shamelessly ask you for some more. They're delicious."

That's a huge basket! This must be a big customer.

"Sold out, I'll bring you some next time I come." Lin Shuyun was in a great mood and went to the backyard to find Jiang Changtian.

Jiang Changtian had just finished his acupuncture treatment.

While cleaning the silver needles, Yin Han said, "Your legs have recovered very well. You won't need any more acupuncture starting tomorrow."

Lin Shuyun heard this as soon as she stepped into the door and asked in confusion, "Wasn't it supposed to be seven days? There's still one day left."

"If you're not getting pricked anymore, then you're cured. Do you think practicing medicine is about getting a freebie? If you insist on getting pricked, how about we buy ten and get ten free?" Yin Han rolled his eyes.

Lin Shuyun: ...

A doctor with such a sharp tongue, isn't he afraid of getting beaten up if he goes out?

After packing his things, Yin Han took a small porcelain bottle from the cabinet and handed it to Jiang Changtian.

"Oh, right, here, take this. Apply it to your face twice a day, morning and night. Before long, the scars on your face will be gone."

Lin Shuyun was very interested in this. "What's it called? Jade Bone Regenerating Cream? Scar Removal Gel? It must be very expensive!"

That sounds really awesome.

Doctor Yang appeared at the door and whispered, "This is my master's secret recipe, it has no name, and it's priceless."

"If you're willing to give away something so expensive, then my ginseng is priceless."

Lin Shuyun crossed her arms and looked Yin Han up and down.

This person doesn't seem like someone who likes to do charity; it's safe to say that her ginseng was taken advantage of.

"Stop it, what do you mean 'yours'? It's mine now." Yin Han rolled her eyes at Lin Shuyun.

"Thank you, doctor."

Jiang Changtian stroked the porcelain bottle in his hand as he expressed his gratitude, but his face did not show much excitement.

It's as if it doesn't matter whether the scar goes away or not.

"You're welcome. I'm doing this for my own good. The two of you together are like Beauty and the Beast, it's too much of an eyesore."

Jiang Changtian: ...

What should I do if I suddenly feel like punching someone?

Yin Han's words were quite unpleasant to hear, and the two of them left the clinic without lingering for long.

After coming out, I went to the market and bought some vegetables and meat.

Then she ran into the boy who sold bamboo baskets before, and he glared at her fiercely when he saw her.

Lin Shuyun: ...

Is this kid crazy?

Lin Shuyun didn't bother with the unimportant people. After buying the things, she went to the Lin family with Jiang Changtian.

"Father, Mother, I have good news to tell you."

After Lin Shuyun entered the door, she took out the cooperation agreement and told them that the Ke family in town wanted to buy her dried apricots.

The contract was written very clearly in black and white. Lin Dahai of the Lin family was literate, and after reading it, he coughed a few times in excitement.

"Really? Fresh apricots are three copper coins a pound? That means our seven trees can make quite a bit of money?"

Lin Shuyun nodded, "Dad, find a reliable person to check the quality of all the apricots in the village and make sure they don't mix in any bad, rotten, or worm-infested ones."

After giving these instructions, Lin Shuyun prepared to go home first. She had things to do when she got home, at the very least she needed to build a kiln to provide cover for the dried apricots.

Lin Hongzhi had already made the crutches she wanted, and she could take them with her.

Lin Shuyun took a look and thought that her older brother's craftsmanship was not bad; the edges and corners had been polished smooth.

There was also a table and a few stools.

"Yunniang, take your time when you go back." Madam Li stood at the door, reluctantly seeing her off.

After leaving the village, Lin Shuyun whistled.

"There are so many apricot trees in this village. We can make a lot of money by making dried apricots."

Fresh apricots cost three coins per pound, but dried apricots sell for twenty coins per pound. Of course, the price is higher in more distant areas. She and Ke Xiuming split the profits 40/60. Thinking about it this way, she was practically a shrewd businesswoman.

Looking at her slender back from inside the car, Jiang Changtian said softly, "You are very capable."

Lin Shuyun casually replied, "Of course, I'll take care of you from now on. Just focus on recovering from your injury, and I'll support your studies once your leg is healed."

As the sun began to set, Jiang Changtian felt his heart beating a little too fast.
