And this four thousand taels, what does four thousand taels mean!

In their village, five taels of silver could support a family for two years! And they could live well!

Then I went to the capital to find them, asked them to come and report the bitch, and promised to give them fifty taels after the deed was done. They packed up their things and came without saying a word!

After all, this can avenge their son and make money, they would be stupid not to do it!

But this noble lady asked for four thousand taels right away! Four thousand taels! How many people in their entire lives never get to see four thousand taels, let alone a hundred taels!

Moreover, this noble lady wanted to rescue the bitch girl from the Ministry of Justice in order to torture her and avenge her son!

This is their youngest son who died with his eyes open. He must bless the Fang family in heaven and specially let this noble young lady come to find them!

Old Man Fang couldn't help but said hurriedly: "Okay, okay..."

Old Lady Fang bumped into him and interrupted him: "My dear lady, that's all very well, but four thousand taels might not be enough. Can you give me a little more?"

Her face was filled with a flattering smile, and her cloudy eyes flashed with greed.

After all, Old Lady Fang is the best at bargaining. It’s obvious that this noble lady is not short of money, so shouldn’t she take the opportunity to ask for more?

Ji Yunxi frowned unhappily.

Baofu's face turned grim, his eyes glared, and he pointed at the two people in the hall and cursed: "How dare you! You are just an old country boy! You think this is a market and you come to bargain for vegetables? Our lady can offer four thousand taels, but it's all for charity. She felt sorry for you because you lost your son! And you still want to pay more! I'll charge you to death! Our lady hates people like you the most. I tell you, there's no way! Come on, throw these two people out, so they don't bother her here!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the old couple panicked.

The old man immediately pushed the old woman, knocking her to the ground, and angrily said, "You old fool, you only know how to cause trouble!"

Then he quickly dropped his legs and knelt down in front of Ji Yunxi: "My dear lady, I am an old woman who doesn't know how to deal with things. Please don't listen to her! Just tell me what you need help with and we will both help you! We will help you!"

The old woman was in pain all over from the fall, but she didn't say a word. She knelt down and confessed to Ji Yunxi with tears and snot: "My dear lady, I was wrong! I was wrong! I was greedy! I won't dare to do it again. My dear lady, please don't chase us away! We will do whatever you say!"

Ji Yunxi looked at the two people in the hall quietly without saying a word.

Baofu had often played these tricks with Ji Yunxi to compete for business. Seeing this, he snorted coldly, his eyebrows twitching: "You'd better sincerely repent. And I warn you, the young lady hates being deceived and betrayed the most. If you take the silver and betray the young lady, then you can expect to have your ears chopped off and your eyes gouged out!"

The two people from the Fang family felt a tightness in their hearts and shook their heads, saying they dared not.

Of course they didn't dare, and they wouldn't. Once they got the four thousand taels, they would just keep it a secret and enjoy it secretly.

After Ji Yunxi left this farm, she visited several nearby farms and then returned to the Wu family.

She handed Wu Weian the portrait the artist had drawn based on Fang Yuan's parents' descriptions, and took the opportunity to tell him about Fang Yuan's height, build, and personality. "Fang Yuan has a hidden illness, so he's very quiet in front of outsiders. Do you have anyone who matches him?"

Wu Weian looked at the portrait and quickly thought of a suitable person: "Yes."

Ji Yunxi nodded: "Okay, I'll rent it from you for a few days. You name your price."

Wu Wei'an put away the portrait and said generously, "I won't charge you any money this time, and you don't have to rent me. I'll give it to you from now on."

Ji Yunxi looked at him again.

Wu Wei'an was in a good mood: "Just consider it as a preferential treatment for you taking care of my business these days."

After all, he has never had any savings in these years.

But now, even if the escort agency needs compensation, after deducting the compensation, he still has two thousand and fifty taels of silver.

Don't be fooled by his wife's lavish spending. She always asks for thousands or tens of thousands of taels of silver. That's because she is rich and her business often involves this amount of money.

But for an ordinary family, two thousand and fifty taels of silver is a huge sum of money.

Preferential treatment?

Ji Yunxi didn't show much expression on her face, but she sighed in her heart.

Ji Yunxi has always been very clear about her own positioning: she is a businessman, and she has all the problems of a businessman.

Doing business with integrity and fairness to customers.

But getting along with partners is quite different.

On the surface, they are cooperating, having pleasant conversations and admiring each other, and deceiving each other by painting a rosy picture for each other, but behind the scenes, there are invisible tests and struggles for the right to speak.

If you talk about honesty, fairness and justice with your partners, you may end up not knowing how you ended up.

Why cooperate after all? Isn't the initial focus of cooperation for profit?

Then they may become enemies at any time because of their own interests.

Only by ensuring that the interests of both parties are always tied together can the relationship be maintained for a long time.

Ji Yunxi admired Wu Weian very much because she felt that his ideas were similar to hers.

When both parties are concerned with interests, it is actually simpler because it is easy to see whether their interests are aligned or not, and you can understand the patterns and follow the traces.

But emotions are too changeable.

After all, Ji Yunxi had seen too much in the modern world. Who could say whether feelings would last forever?

How many lovers, how many couples, love each other madly at the beginning, but after one, two, or three years, the love suddenly disappears.

Maybe you loved me yesterday, but it’s gone today.

Moreover, Wu Wei'an was a man of unfathomable depth, acting in such a way that it was hard to tell whether he was real or fake. Ji Yunxi still couldn't see through him.

But she only needs to know one thing: he is not a sentimental person.

Ji Yunxi put herself in the situation and thought about it.

She can be so generous now because she is really rich. She always earns more than she spends, because when her money reaches a certain level, it can make more money.
