Chapter 325: Miss your sister?

"It's okay." Yu Linlang took a breath, "But you, you suddenly came to look for me, could something have happened to the Chamber of Commerce?"

"Look at how listless you are." Murong Chi gave her a white look and pulled her onto the carriage. "Come back quickly if you can't do it. What's the fun in investigating a case? The monthly salary is not high, and it takes time, effort, and brainpower. Why don't you come back and be a hands-off manager? I will accompany you shopping and boating every day... If you want to take care of yourself in your old age, then go ahead. Who asked me to spoil you?"

Yu Linlang was angry and amused, so she casually took a plum and stuffed it into his mouth, "Stop talking nonsense, tell me what's going on."

Murong Chi snorted, "What else could it be? Yuyanfang is urging us to deliver the goods again. But seriously, we haven't released any new products in half a year. Do you want to consider releasing some?"

Yu Linlang took out a can of something from the woven bag, approached mysteriously, and patted Murong Chi's hand. "It's a good thing. It can cover blemishes. It's wonderful when paired with whitening cream. Anyone who uses it will know. Here's the formula. Find someone to mass produce it. As usual, about 500 cans a year are enough. Scarcity makes things valuable."

Murong Chi happily accepted the formula and sample, "How do you say Snow Pear Paste?"

"The auction organized by Qianjinzhai will be held at the end of the month. You can pick an address. Fanlou, Jinghong Pavilion, Feiyuexuan, and that... Fengyuelou. Which one do you like?"

"Of course I'll open a restaurant in my Shanhai Restaurant! It's a good thing. You're stupid. If you have money, you should make it for yourself."

In this way, Shanhai Restaurant can not only collect a generous venue fee, but also have guests come to drink and snacks like water? This is a source of cash.

Yu Linlang blinked at her angry brother.

The latter stretched out his slender fingers and pointed at the air, raised his eyebrows and snorted, "Swindler!"

"As usual, you have to find time to make the three jars of pear cream for the venue." Last year, three jars of pear cream were bought by a concubine in the palace for 100,000 taels, which was much higher than the market price.

"It is expected that the transaction price this year will be higher than in previous years." There is no way around it. This thing is really in short supply and the annual output is too small, but the demand is increasing day by day.

"Can't you spare some time to do more?" Murong Chi couldn't help but complain whenever he saw her.

"What do you know?" Yu Lin rolled her eyes at him. "This stuff is not like whitening cream that can be mass-produced. I have to mix each bottle by hand. It is purely handmade and natural, which is very energy-consuming. A small mistake can lead to a big mistake, don't you understand? As the saying goes, slow work makes fine work. This can't be done quickly."

Murong Chi's dark beautiful eyes almost turned up to the sky.

Just brag! He didn't believe that the dead girl didn't have any stock.

The stuff is hard to come by, but it's certainly not the case that after a whole year of grinding and grinding, only a dozen or so cans can be produced!

"Please keep the invitation." Murong Chi handed her a small gold-plated note, "You must be there in person that day."

"Don't worry." Yu Linlang obediently put away the note and smiled at him, "The venue has been arranged in our Shanhai Restaurant, how can I not be there."

"You." Murong Chi shook his head helplessly and asked her, "Do you have enough money to spend?"

Yu Linlang nodded, "I have money!"

"You are so stubborn. What can you do with your meager salary? You spent it all on treating friends to a meal!" Murong Chi took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket and said, "Use these first. Tell me if you don't have enough."

Yu Linlang looked at him in bewilderment, "I am really rich."

It's strange, does she look poor? Everyone looks at her with a dead look that says "take it, don't starve yourself if you don't have enough money." She is not poor!

"You have money, but you still live in that shabby house? That courtyard is not even as big as my bathroom! You are just being stubborn."

"Alright, alright, take the money. This is the dividend for the first half of the year. You should keep it for yourself first. Now, I tell you, work harder after receiving the money. If you have time, make a few more jars of snow pear paste. Old Jia keeps nagging me all the time. I really can't stand it."

"That stuff sells well. Now the price of a can has soared to 30,000 taels and many people are willing to pay for it." Murong Chi peeled a lychee and handed it to her. "As for you, quit your job in the government office as soon as possible. If you can't do it, just pretend to be dead and run away like you did three years ago!"

"You don't have much money, why do you work like a slave for the court? I feel bad for you even though you don't mind the hardship."

"Why don't you go home early to retire? I can accompany you to travel around and have fun, isn't it?"

"I know, I know." Yu Linlang was annoyed by his nagging, so she took the lychee and swallowed it in one gulp, then said vaguely, "How is the Chamber of Commerce?"

"Same as always, not bad." Murong Chi replied nonchalantly, "I make a living by transferring goods between the north and the south. I try to do whatever business I can get involved in. I don't make much, but it's pretty stable."

"Don't worry, I won't do a business that will make me lose money."

"What's the matter?" Yu Linlang pulled his hand, stared at him carefully and asked.

"How big of a deal can it be?" Murong Chi coughed uncomfortably, then pulled back his hand and picked up the teacup to pretend, "Three private salt dealers were found on the tea boat the other day. They used tea cans to pack coarse salt, more than 20 boxes in total. We seized them all. I see that the fineness of their salt cannot be compared with refined salt, and is even slightly inferior to the coarse salt circulating on the market."

"The person has been handed over to the local government office, and we have also sent someone to take care of it. The Chamber of Commerce should not be implicated. I am just letting you know, it's nothing serious."

"Can you find out who wants to harm our Chamber of Commerce?"

"There are only a few suspects. I guess it was the tea merchants who did this, but there is no concrete evidence. On the day the three salt smugglers were arrested, two of them jumped into the water and died. The other one was fished out and didn't even release a single drop of his body. He refused to say anything even when he was tortured. He's a tough guy."

"Don't worry, they are just a few salt smugglers. It's no big deal. I have already ordered them to be careful recently and not let anyone sneak on board to cause trouble again."

"What happened to you?" Murong Chi glanced at her suddenly. "Your eyes are red. Did you cry because of a nightmare last night?"

"You're the one crying. Your whole family is crying." Yu Linlang stuffed the banknotes into her bag and snorted, "I won't cry even if you cry!"

Murong Chi sneered, "Just be tough."

"Okay, I have something to do at the Chamber of Commerce. Go and have fun." He stuffed all the bags into her arms and said, "You have to take what I tell you to heart. Don't let it go in one ear and out the other. You're just wasting your time doing nothing."

Yu Linlang was speechless and looked up at him while holding a bunch of things.

"Go ahead, I'm busy."

Yu Linlang was driven out of the car by him with a constipated look on her face. She poked her head out from behind the pile of things she was holding, "Achi, do you miss your sister?"

Murong Chi had originally lifted the curtain to take another look at her, but upon hearing the sound, he quickly threw it down, his ears reddened, and he angrily said to the driver, "Why aren't you moving? What are you standing there for?"

Yu Linlang waved her claws in the direction where the carriage was going away.
