Mr. Zhang: "?"
...
After a long time, a shrill scream finally reached us from afar.
"What? You mean Mr. Xu is Boss Chen? I know that. Mr. Xu = Mr. Liaozhai? Ahhh..."
"How is this possible?"
"I'm rich!"
...
Inside the room.
Uncle Fu suddenly changed from a calm expression to a serious one.
"Brother Chen, I have already sent people to do the things you asked me to do in Yingzhou Prefecture."
Are you really sure the fish will take the bait?
Otherwise, your trip might be in vain.
It cost a lot of money, and it's basically all gone down the drain.
Chen Xian handed the six hundred taels in his hand to Uncle Fu, and then took out another one hundred taels from his pocket.
"The Gu family is indeed very cunning and patient. Even now, they haven't shown any intention of suppressing the Chen family."
They're either cunning and ruthless, or they're stupid!
The Chen family cannot sit idly by and wait for their doom. If they want to do business peacefully in Daxing Town, they must get rid of this acne!
I'd rather spend money and play the extra half of the game than have the Chen family's fate held by the throat.
Uncle Fu took the silver, his brows furrowing slightly.
"Alright."
Brother Chen has always been a steady and reliable person.
It now seems that the Gu family either instigated the Wei family to suppress the Chen family's business, or they were completely unaware of the situation.
However... anyone who has done a decent job and has no compassion has long been devoured, their bones gnawed away, and they've been stewed and made into soup.
Uncle Fu said solemnly, "Brother Chen, don't worry, I've got your back. If the Gu family can just stay put and do business honestly, that would be great."
But if someone tries to provoke you, no matter how much money you spend on your schemes in Yingzhou Prefecture, I'll cover the losses and crush this scoundrel!
Chen Xian was slightly moved and cupped his hands, saying, "Brother Fu... thank you. Once the price of pork goes up, the Chen family will sell the local pigs and repay you as soon as possible!"
Uncle Fu chuckled and waved his hand, saying, "There's no need for that. I just hope that Brother Chen will be more diligent in the future and write more...storybooks."
Chen Xian: "..."
Finally, Uncle Fu called the accountant over and began calculating the profit sharing.
For the first few days of the two-month period, A Chinese Ghost Story sold quite well, with over ninety copies sold.
In the last day or two, we've only sold a few copies, but in total, we've sold 900 copies in two months, which is an astonishing number.
Based on the book's price of fifty coins, Chen Xian received a commission of four and a half taels of silver.
Compared to the number of authorized storytelling adaptations, this is indeed not many.
But you should know that nowadays, an ordinary farming family struggles to earn even one or two taels of silver a year.
Chen Xian's monthly commission is equivalent to the monthly earnings of a man carrying heavy loads in town, with a surplus.
This is passive income.
Uncle Fu said with slight regret, "It is a bit less. It's just that Rainforest Study's influence is not as great. If it were in the major commercial port of Yingzhou Prefecture, Brother Chen could earn ten or even dozens of taels more in commission each month."
It's a pity that our small town limits Brother Chen's talent.
Chen Xian shook his head. "It's fine."
The Su family business is behind the Rainforest Bookstore.
Although Magistrate Su did not manage these shops much, they were basically left to their own devices.
But after making a few inquiries, the town's competitors dared not provoke Rainforest Bookstore.
It's very comfortable.
Chen Xian was very satisfied.
Chen Xian cupped his hands in a respectful gesture and said solemnly, "I'll leave that matter to Uncle Fu."
Uncle Fu cupped his hands in greeting, “Don’t worry, it’s good that the Gu family isn’t causing trouble. If they do, it means that this thief is even more vicious than the Wei family!”
As per my brother's arrangement, the Gu family must withdraw from Daxing Town from now on..."
