Xiaoguo felt guilty and couldn't look Qin Anming's accusing eyes in the eye. She sat back awkwardly. She didn't expect that because she didn't sleep well last night, she had a dream that the words she said in her dream would be heard by Zhuangzhuang.

If Qin An knew that he didn't sleep well because he was worried that he would develop a chronic illness, he would have a hard time explaining himself if someone saw him crying outside, as he was such a fragile child.

However, Zhuangzhuang suffered. Xiaoguo secretly turned around and looked at the aggrieved little figure, feeling sad. Son, I'm sorry. Mother will comfort you later. You just shut up for now.

Xiaoguo drove the donkey cart and dropped Qin Anming and Zhuangzhuang off in the noodle shop first. He would come back to pick him up after he finished his business.

After saying hello, Xiaoguo walked over.

Because Su's Grocery Store was located in a busy city area and donkey carts could not pass through, Xiaoguo had to walk there. It wasn't far, so he just took a stroll and arrived when he didn't feel tired.

Su's Goods Store, great brand!

Xiaoguo looked at the sign hanging on the pillar and felt that it was made of good material. Even the words on it had a unique charm.

The last time I came here, I was so absorbed in the smell that I didn't even look at the brand. As the saying goes, a brand is a face; the flow of people in a store depends on its brand.

Before entering the door, I could smell the strong aroma of roasted nuts. Xiaoguo almost couldn't walk after smelling it. I wanted to come in and take a look when passing by. Even if I didn't buy anything, I wanted to come in and satisfy my craving.

This store has everything, so it is a perfect partner.

Xiaoguo stepped over the stairs and went inside. As soon as she stepped into the room, a staff came to greet her.

"I'm here to see your shopkeeper. We've made an appointment to come this morning. My last name is Qin."

When Ruyi met with the shopkeeper Su that day, Xiaoguo's last name was briefly mentioned, so when Xiaoguo introduced himself to the staff, it would be clearer when he went up to relay the information.

When the waiter heard Xiaoguo's last name was Qin, he took her directly to the innermost room on the second floor without asking.

Xiaoguo stood behind him and watched him knock on the door to report. Soon, a cold voice came from inside.

"Come in."

The rhythm is very regular.

When Xiaoguo heard the voice, she felt a little more favorable towards the person she hadn't even met yet. A person with such a voice should not be a profiteer.

The waiter opened the door, invited Xiaoguo in, and then closed the door after she went in.

A clean and tidy place similar to a study, with books and tea sets. At this moment, a man in a moon-white robe is fiddling with the tea sets, and his elegance is revealed in every opening and closing, every pause and raise of the teacup.

"Please take a seat."

Su Changsheng placed a cup of brewed tea on the opposite side, then stood up and invited Xiaoguo to take a seat.

When she stood up, Xiao Guo could see his appearance clearly. She took a breath of cool air. She really couldn't blame Ruyi for thinking about him for so long. He had even talked to her about Su Changsheng's appearance when they just met. It turned out that there really was such a thing as a handsome man.

Xiaoguo was glad that she had good self-control, otherwise her legs would have gone weak. This beauty was too gorgeous.

Xiaoguo sat opposite him. Su Changsheng made a gesture of invitation to her. Xiaoguo subconsciously picked up the cup and took a sip.

The fragrance lingers on the lips and teeth, leaving an endless aftertaste. Suddenly, these eight big words appear in Xiaoguo's mind. It turns out that tea can be so delicious.

"I heard that Madam Qin has corn kernels that can be made into popcorn."

"Yeah, that's right." Xiaoguo perked herself up to avoid being misled by his beauty, so she tried not to look at him.

Su Changsheng looked at Xiaoguo, who had not looked at him since she sat down, and raised his eyebrows with interest. Madam Qin seemed quite cold.

"Let's be frank. I want to buy all the corn and seeds you have now, madam."

What’s different about Su Changsheng is that he prefers to play straight, the simpler the better.

Xiao Guo didn't say anything. While drinking tea, she thought carefully about what he meant. She understood that all the corns were harvested, but what did this mean?

"Don't worry, ma'am. I am a man of integrity. If you sell all your corn to me and promise never to sell popcorn, raw corn or grow popcorn in large quantities, I will provide you with a very generous reward."

As soon as Su Changsheng finished speaking, Xiaoguo squinted her eyes and looked at the seemingly elegant man. She put away what she had just said. He was definitely a profiteer, a complete profiteer. As she said, all businessmen are profiteers.

He wants to buy out all the planting and roasting of popcorn with one sum of money. He wants to be the only one who can do it. He has a really big appetite, but I don't know if he can eat it all.

As if he understood Xiaoguo's meaning, Su Changsheng picked up the teacup and spoke considerately.

"My family is in Beijing, and Su's Store has basically achieved nationwide coverage, so I am confident that I can make and sell all the popcorn, and..." Su Changsheng took a sip of tea slowly, "I heard from Miss Xu that Madam Qin only has two plots of land, and even growing corn is laborious and time-consuming. You probably can't supply it with our store, so handing it over to us is the most correct, convenient and effective way. What do you think?"

Finally, Su Changsheng gave Xiaoguo a professional fake smile.

"…" What do you think? May I ask what other opinions I can give?

This is like a dish that is served on the table, seasonings are added, and it is brought to your mouth, but then you are asked if you want to eat it.

"If you have no objection, please sign it."

Su Changsheng was determined to get this batch of corn, so he directly took out the draft contract and handed it to Xiaoguo.

Xiao Guo swallowed his saliva. This turned out to be a contract negotiation. With Su Changsheng as a comparison, what was the difference between him and Xiao Zha Zha? Only Ruyi could be fooled by him...

But what he proposed was actually exactly what I wanted.

Xiaoguo originally had no intention of growing this anymore, so he simply sold it to Su Changsheng. He could also make some extra money, so why not?

Having made up her mind, she picked up the contract and looked at it carefully. If Su Changsheng maintained the look he had when they just met, Xiao Guo would definitely not have read it so carefully. However, in Xiao Guo's eyes, his image now was that of a profiteer, so she had to read it carefully and ponder every word and detail.

As soon as Su Changsheng saw Xiaoguo pick up the contract, a determined smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He believed that Qin Xiaoguo would definitely sign it, because the price he gave was very reasonable, and she would definitely not find another place to sign it except here with him.

Just as he expected, Xiaoguo finally put down the contract, and Su Changsheng immediately handed over a brush.

Xiaoguo was stunned for a moment, then took it and signed his name. Before he put down the brush, Su Changsheng quickly handed him the red clay.

Xiaoguo resisted the urge to overturn the table, stretched out his thumb, pressed the red mud, and printed his fingerprint on the contract.

“It’s been a pleasure working with you.”

Su Changsheng also signed one copy, keeping one for himself and giving one to Xiaoguo.

Xiao Guo gave Su Changsheng a fake smile and said, "It's a pleasure to work with you."

Happy? I should be happy. Although there is no problem with cooperation and the money is also very good, why do I feel so unhappy? It's like I'm being tricked.

Xiaoguo finally left the shop with 150 taels of silver and a bag of roasted nuts. With Su Changsheng's friendly gaze, he walked out of the busy city in a daze and returned to the noodle shop with a depressed look on his face.

When I came back to my senses, I saw a bunch of enlarged faces surrounding me. My heart skipped a beat. "Oh my God, what are you doing?"

As soon as Xiaoguo finished speaking, the crowd of people scattered instantly, leaving only Qin Anming, Ruyi and Zhuangzhuang surrounding Xiaoguo.
