Chapter 1334 The Melon Seed Deal is Settled
Shu Yu was unaware that a steady stream of people were visiting her home; she had gone outside the city to see Qi Lie off.
After dropping them off back in the city, we hadn't gone far when we were stopped by someone.
Seeing Ren Huai's somewhat anxious expression, Shu Yu smiled slightly and said, "Young Master Ren, is there something you need from me?"
Ren Huai's smile was somewhat forced, but he still tried to speak gently, "Lord Lu, a couple of days ago I asked Steward Xu to find you and arrange a time to talk about the melon seeds. But you were busy then and I didn't want to bother you. I wonder if Lord Lu has time now?"
Shu Yu thought she knew why he had changed his mind. Even if she hadn't deliberately spread the news about the palace purchasing sunflower oil, everyone who needed to know already knew.
Ren Huai already felt a sense of urgency.
Seeing that things had progressed to the point where she wanted to close the deal as soon as possible, Shu Yu decided not to make things mysterious.
As she stepped down from the carriage, she could clearly sense Ren Huai's relief.
"Since we have some free time, let's find a place to discuss this at length, Mr. Ren, please."
"please."
This time, the two didn't go to the teahouse they visited the first time. Instead, they found a nearby restaurant that offered a relatively private atmosphere and went inside.
Upon arriving at the private room, Ren Huai remarked with admiration, "I never imagined that Lord Lu Xiang's business had even extended to the palace."
Shu Yu looked embarrassed. "I was lucky, and I also owe a debt to Lord Xiang for taking care of me. Before the New Year, he sent rare items like melon seeds and sunflower oil to the palace. Who knew that the imperial physician said that sunflower oil is healthier than ordinary cooking oil, so the palace sent someone over to take a look. And look, they took a liking to it at first sight."
Ren Huai was surprised and took a sip of tea.
This time, he no longer believed that Lu Xiangjun was just lucky. He had misjudged her earlier, thinking that she had achieved her current success because of her backing by Lord Qi.
But if someone is just lucky, how can they possibly expand their business to the palace in one go, leaving even a seasoned businessman like him feeling incredibly frustrated?
Ren Huai now understands why she would be paired with someone like Meng Yunzheng. He originally thought that Meng Yunzheng, with his deep scheming and painful childhood, would choose someone as simple and easy to see through as Lu Xiangjun.
Who knew that these two were clearly birds of a feather, neither of them easy to fool.
Two young people with such wicked intentions are bound to cause trouble in the future.
Ren Huai secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Lu Xiangjun always seems to be able to come up with something rare."
For example, there were heating packs before, and now there are sunflower seeds and sunflower oil.
Shu Yu smiled and said, "I was just lucky. I was just messing around and got it by accident."
Ren Huai's lips twitched. "I've believed your nonsense."
Shu Yu was not easily fooled, and Ren Huai stopped trying to probe her with words. He knew that a large group of people were waiting at Lu Xiangjun's door, wanting to do some melon seed business with her.
Therefore, he wanted to finalize the cooperation agreement during this meeting.
Ren Huai did not try to lower the price, nor did he mention the exclusive sale again, and he did not cause any other trouble.
Although they were still trying to maximize their own interests, their sincerity was sufficient.
Fortunately, Shu Yu had intended to cooperate with them. She had inquired and found that the passion fruit shop did have some common problems among business people, but they were not unscrupulous merchants. They would not sell inferior goods and were still very conscious of their image towards consumers.
Cooperating with them would be beneficial to her, so Shu Yu didn't make things difficult for her.
