But she didn't want to take advantage of him; he had saved the lives of more than a dozen members of her family, so half a share was worth it.

Moreover, whether she wanted to cooperate with the Duchess or ask Su Hen for help, she only ever made half of what she promised.

Shen Zhiyan is more worthy than anyone else.

Ye Caiping said, "What's a ten percent? In the future, our glass will be sold in the capital, and we'll need your connections to promote it then."

Shen Zhiyan knew that she would feel uneasy if he didn't take it, so she said, "Let me find the glass craftsman."

Ye Caiping's eyes lit up: "That would be even better."

He continued, "This ornament looks nice, but the workmanship is too rough. The same goes for these bottles, especially this one—it's so ugly!"

As he spoke, he pointed to one of the short, plump bottles.

Ye Caiping's lips twitched slightly. This ugliest bottle was made by her!

If the experiment is unsuccessful, she won't bring it up with him about the collaboration.

"Haha...Is it ugly?" Ye Caiping laughed awkwardly. "Then I'll take it back."

Before she could make a move, he suddenly picked it up and laughed, "Although it's ugly, it's kind of interestingly ugly."

Ye Caiping: "..."

Shen Zhiyan said, "I will find a group of skilled craftsmen to make exquisite glass products. By the way, what are the raw materials?"

Ye Caiping quickly pulled a piece of paper from her sleeve: "Here, these are it. Do you have any way to get them?"

Shen Zhiyan glanced at it and said, "It's simple. Just tell me when you need it."

Ye Caiping's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she was no longer annoyed that he thought the glass she made was ugly.

While the raw materials for glassmaking aren't difficult to obtain, procuring them in large quantities is quite challenging. It must be said, Shen Zhiyan is incredibly useful.

Now that we're partners, it's perfectly natural for us to use each other however we want!

Now that Shen Zhiyan has practically taken over all the work in the glass workshop, Ye Caiping feels a little embarrassed.

"Then I'll go find someone to build a workshop right now?"

Shen Zhiyan raised an eyebrow: "Aren't you building a furniture workshop? Get that up and running first, then it won't be too late to set up the glass workshop."

"Okay. And the spicy soup workshop, I'll give you half of that too."

"No need, I don't need the money."

"Okay!" Ye Caiping stood up, stretched, and said, "It's getting late, I'll go home first."

As he was speaking, he picked up the fish basket, but Shen Zhiyan reached out and grabbed it.

Ye Caiping: "My family hasn't had fish soup in a long time, and it was fish that I caught!"

"Manman is clamoring to eat mixed fish today."

Ye Caiping thought of the carload of things Shen Manman had given her and nodded:

"Alright, you can have them all."

Shen Zhiyan happily took it, then glanced at her and asked, "Are you angry?"

"No." The question was a bit strange; it was just a basket of fish, why would she be angry?

Shen Zhiyan looked at the river and said, "From now on, whatever I catch will be yours."

Ye Caiping's lips twitched. She wasn't angry, really not!

Moreover, he gave her everything he caught?

No need for that! Is she going to wait forever to gather enough fish for a pot of soup?
