"Xiaoxiao, Uncle Li wants to cooperate with you. What do you think? My company has a compound fertilizer business. If you can share your secret formula that can increase crop yields, we can create a brand together and it will definitely sweep across the entire country. Of course, this is just a suggestion. If you don't want to, I won't force you."

Upon hearing this, Tang Xiaoxiao was not very surprised.

She produced fruits, vegetables, and flowers that far exceeded the quality of ordinary products on the market, and she always claimed to have an exclusive formula. It is estimated that many people have been eyeing her, but no one has taken action yet.

Even after her rebirth, she wasn't entirely foolproof. When she first sold ginseng in Y City, she made almost no attempt to disguise herself, and anyone with a keen eye would eventually discover her deception. Furthermore, she couldn't explain the ginseng's origins.

As for those so-called auditing agricultural courses at school, they might fool their parents and villagers, but their lies crumble in front of an old fox like Li Shengli.

She had thought that if one day she really provoked an irresistible force, she could only use a bottle of spiritual spring water as a shield, admitting that the ginseng was cultivated by herself and that her fruit and vegetable base was supported by diluted spiritual spring water.

As for where the spiritual spring water comes from?

I obtained it by chance during a trip to a scenic area.

Just point to any location and let those people find it.

As long as she sticks to her story, no one can do anything to her. The spatial dimension has become a birthmark on her hand, and no one will know that such a magical thing as a spatial dimension exists. When she hands over the spiritual spring water, she will no longer cultivate those fruits and vegetables. Gradually, those who are watching her will see that she cannot continuously produce those magical things, and they will naturally give up.

This is the worst-case scenario.

They gave up their unique advantages in order to gain stability.

That's why she's investing in real estate, developing animal husbandry, and possibly other things in the future, gradually reducing her dependence on physical space.

Li Shengli's open proposal for cooperation is not offensive to Tang Xiaoxiao; on the contrary, it's a good thing.

The more stakeholders she has, the safer she is.

Therefore, without much hesitation, she said, "Uncle Li thinks highly of his niece, so naturally his niece won't be ungrateful. Let's set a time to discuss the cooperation in detail."

Li Shengli was satisfied with the positive reply. The two agreed to meet in Li Shengli's office the next morning. After that, the three of them got up, said goodbye, and left the Tang family.

After the Li family left, Mr. and Mrs. Tang were somewhat worried.

It's a good thing that their daughter's business is growing bigger and bigger, but the partners they're collaborating with are also becoming increasingly powerful, which makes them a little uneasy. Their own family doesn't have much of a foundation or the strength to challenge large corporations; will the partnership be on equal footing?

They were very worried that their daughter would suffer.

Leaving aside Xu Mingliang, who was a relative, they weren't worried he would harm their daughter. The He family was a connection their daughter had built up through several interactions. Moreover, while it was called a partnership, Tang Xiaoxiao was merely one of the suppliers for their restaurants, not a particularly important figure. The He family wouldn't be overly concerned with a single supplier.

Li Shengli is different now. He doesn't want to acquire anything; instead, he wants the secret formula from Tang Xiaoxiao. Clearly, he's ambitious and has big plans.
