"Okay, we'll do as Miss Xue says."
Murong Xun had no objection to this.
Despite never having been involved in the grain trade before, he was confident, based on his extensive experience and keen judgment, that the goods would sell out in less than ten days.
However, how to convert this batch of goods into substantial profits remains to be discussed.
Neither party had any objections, and the signing of the contract went smoothly, with the handover completed in less than half an hour.
Xue Ruanruan rushed back before they could even move the goods.
Today is the last day of our agreement with the old man to buy the shop. If we don't prepare the banknotes, who knows who will benefit from the shop?
"My lord, I think the divine physician seems to be in dire need of money."
Yan Xiao's eyes revealed a hint of worry and doubt. Only after Xue Ruanruan's figure completely disappeared at the end of the path did she speak out her doubts without any attempt to hide them.
Murong Xun frowned slightly, clearly noticing the other party's situation as well.
After being away from the capital for more than half a year, he returned to the capital and was busy thoroughly investigating the corruption case related to the floods in Jiangnan. He was unaware that the General's Mansion had secretly entrusted a security escort agency to transport a batch of grain and winter supplies to the frontier.
He knew that the Zhenguo General's Mansion was struggling financially, and perhaps she was in dire need of improving the family's economic situation.
"Listen up, all of you! Keep your mouths shut! Anyone who dares to divulge even a single word about Miss Xue supplying us... will be killed without mercy!"
Murong Xun's face was cold and his whole body exuded a chilling aura. His dark eyes were like two cold stars, coldly scanning everyone present.
The powerful aura silenced everyone present, who dared not even breathe, fearing they would be made an example of and lose their lives.
No one understood better than them that their master was not only ruthless and cruel on the surface, but also ruthless and vicious in his methods, making him someone no one dared to provoke.
Xue Ruanruan rushed to Wang's shop without stopping. There were many pedestrians on the road, but the shop was deserted and had long lost its former liveliness.
"Is this Miss Xue? My employer asked me to wait for you at the door."
A quick-witted servant immediately rushed forward the moment Xue Ruanruan appeared, his attitude extremely respectful.
A few days ago, he witnessed his young master having his lower limbs severed by people from the casino. He thought that even if his young master was saved, he would be crippled.
When Ms. Xue volunteered to reattach severed limbs, the onlookers thought she was exaggerating, as limb reattachment seemed like a pipe dream.
Unexpectedly, she actually managed to reattach the young master's severed limb. Now, not only is the young master unharmed, but his leg has also stopped smelling and oozing pus, and it's growing very well.
The master gave him a few words of advice, telling him to be very respectful when he met Miss Xue, as she was a noble person from the Wang family.
"Thank you."
Xue Ruanruan took the three thousand taels of silver notes and went upstairs.
"Miss Xue, you've finally arrived."
Wang Dongjia saw the look of surprise on her face.
For the past two days, he had been waiting at the shop for Xue Ruanruan to come, genuinely worried that she wouldn't come because she couldn't raise enough money.
"I'm sorry to have kept Mr. Wang waiting."
Xue Ruanruan took out the silver notes, a total of three thousand taels of silver notes. Adding the five hundred taels of deposit she had already given last time, it was five hundred taels more than the price offered by Wang Dongjia.
“Miss Xue, we have already given a deposit of five hundred taels of silver last time. This time, you only need to give another two thousand five hundred taels of silver.”
Wang Dongjia was an honest man. When he saw Xue Ruanruan take out three thousand taels of silver notes, he quickly reminded her.
"The extra five hundred taels of silver is to compensate Mr. Wang for the price difference. I am very satisfied with this shop. If calculated according to the market price, it would be worth far more than this. Consider it a small token of my appreciation."
"Then thank you very much, Miss Xue. I will remember your kindness."
Mr. Wang was surprised that Miss Xue was so considerate. He hesitated for a moment before swallowing the words of refusal.
This is the first time I've met such an honest person who gave me extra money; I'm so grateful I can't speak.
Although they had saved some money from running the shop over the years, it had all gone to pay off that unfilial son's gambling debts and medical expenses, leaving the family in dire straits.
The extra five hundred taels of silver given by Miss Xue was like a timely help to the family, and they were even more grateful.
"It's what you deserve, no need to worry about it."
Xue Ruanruan carefully examined the contract, and only after confirming that there were no problems did she pick up a brush and write her name.
After signing the contract, the property deeds were exchanged, and Wang Dongjia went to the government office to register the business before the shop was finally taken over.
This was her first asset since her rebirth, and she was incredibly excited, feeling a sense of liberation and boundless energy.
"Miss Xue, could you please tell me what this shop will be used for in the future?"
As they were about to part, Wang Dongjia looked at Xue Ruanruan, hesitant to speak, but finally asked the question that had been on his mind.
"I plan to open a beauty and skincare shop. I have some medical knowledge and some research on women's skin improvement and makeup. I specialize in serving women."
Anyway, the shop will be opening soon, so there's no harm in telling Wang Dongjia in advance. The shop has already been transferred, so even if he wanted to back out, he couldn't.
"I see. It seems there aren't any similar shops in the capital. Miss Xue's medical skills are superb. I wish your shop a prosperous business and abundant wealth."
Wang Dongjia's words flowed like honey, his tone slightly ingratiating.
"Thank you for your kind words, Mr. Wang. If you need any help in the future, you can come to my shop to find me."
Looking at Wang Dongjia, whose hair was gray and face was full of wrinkles, Xue Ruanruan felt sorry for him. This kind-hearted old man should have been enjoying his retirement, but he had to sell his property for his good-for-nothing son, which was a real pity.
"I thank Miss Xue for her kindness. If there is anything I cannot resolve in the future, I will have to trouble Miss Xue to help me."
That's exactly what Wang Dongjia wanted to hear. The shop was worth far more than three thousand taels of silver. Giving up so much profit was just to make a good connection and use Miss Xue's relationship to get involved with the Regent.
He knew that the regent would certainly not have any dealings with ordinary people like them, and he would not dare to use the regent's name to do anything outrageous.
He merely wanted to use the Regent's prestige to intimidate the gambling den's owners and prevent his rebellious son from being targeted by them again.
His shop was in an excellent location, making it the best choice for doing business. The steward of the Left Prime Minister's residence once came to discuss buying his shop, but he refused outright.
This is ancestral property left by our ancestors, the place where the Wang family descendants can settle down and make a living. If we sell the shop, wouldn't that be abandoning our descendants?
Unexpectedly, in less than half a year, his own unfilial son was lured to a gambling den and incurred a large gambling debt.
He used all his savings to help pay off his debts, but it still wasn't enough, which led to the casino thugs severing his own son's lower limbs.
