Hallucinogens?
Mind control?
Upon hearing this, the person on the other end of the phone was obviously taken aback, "So Boss, are we still selling or not?"
Lin Wu tapped her fingers on the desk, "We don’t know this ’Shadow’ well; it’s better not to casually sell something as dangerous as Bayezhen."
Who knows what kind of heinous deeds the other party might commit with Bayezhen.
Lin Wu conducted business not just for the sake of making money.
She also took responsibility for the herbs she sold.
"Alright, I got it, Boss."
Lin Wu then said, "It’s nothing, I’m hanging up."
"Okay, go ahead and hang up."
Lin Wu cut off the call.
Just after the call ended, Shaliva jumped onto Lin Wu, meowing and starting to act coquettishly.
Lin Guixiang walked out of the kitchen, "Xiao Wu, I’m going to take out the trash. Do you feel like having barbecue tonight? I can bring back some from the grill shop downstairs."
Upon hearing this, Lin Wu began to list the dishes, "I want grilled squid and tofu skin..."
"Okay, I’ll be right back."
"Mhm, no rush."
With that, Lin Guixiang, carrying a large bag of trash, went out.
The elevator was at the 28th floor; Lin Guixiang pressed the button and entered the elevator.
The elevator descended continuously.
It stopped at the 26th floor.
Lin Guixiang was surprised.
Tang Dynasty Yipin featured one elevator for each apartment; the elevator stopping at this time meant only one possibility.
The person waiting for the elevator was Mu Baicheng.
Thinking of this, Lin Guixiang subconsciously adjusted her posture.
Ding dong.
The elevator doors opened at that moment.
The next second, a tall figure appeared before Lin Guixiang.
Seeing Lin Guixiang, Mu Baicheng was surprised, "Ms. Lin, you’re also going downstairs?"
Tang Dynasty Yipin had one elevator for two apartments. Ever since he learned that Lin Guixiang habitually used the left elevator, Mu Baicheng would always take it when going downstairs; he didn’t expect he’d actually run into Lin Guixiang.
Lin Guixiang smiled, "Yes, I’m going down to throw out the trash."
Mu Baicheng followed, "By the way, thank you for the meal you sent last time, it was very delicious."
If only he could eat like that more often.
But Mu Baicheng knew that Lin Guixiang was not the kind of woman who was only suited for being kept at home to cook and make soup.
Although Lin Guixiang never mentioned anything, Mu Baicheng knew she must have her own career.
"You’re welcome, I’m glad you liked it," Lin Guixiang glanced at Mu Baicheng, "Mr. Mu, are you planning to go downstairs for a meal now?"
Mu Baicheng nodded, "Mhm, do you know any good restaurants nearby?"
Lin Guixiang smiled, "I’m not very sure about restaurants, but I do know there’s a barbecue place nearby that’s really good. My daughter loves their skewers."
"Which one? What’s it called?" Mu Baicheng immediately asked, "Where exactly is it located?"
If it was recommended by Lin Guixiang, then he definitely wanted to try it.
Lin Guixiang replied, "I think it’s called Little Bearded Barbecue. I happen to be going there to buy some takeout. Why don’t we go together?"
"Sure!" Mu Baicheng was more than happy to join.
Lin Guixiang first took care of the trash, then took Mu Baicheng to Little Bearded Barbecue.
It was only 6:30 in the evening, and Little Bearded Barbecue was already starting to form a queue.
The two chatted while they waited in line.

On the other side.
Sun Shanshan was making instant noodles at her rental apartment when suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
"Who’s there?"
Sun Shanshan ran to open the door.
Upon opening the door and seeing the visitor, Sun Shanshan’s heart sank.
Because it was the landlord.
Ever since the last incident, the landlady had lost all goodwill towards Sun Shanshan, "Hasn’t your mother returned yet?"
"Not yet."
The landlady peered into the apartment, "Since your mom hasn’t returned, then you should pay the rent now."
Pay the rent?
At the mention of these words, Sun Shanshan’s heart turned cold; she was nearly out of money for food, where would she find the money to pay the rent?
"Is it possible to defer it for a few days?" Sun Shanshan looked at the landlady.
"Defer?" The landlady frowned slightly, "Young lady, your rent was due the day before yesterday, haven’t I been lenient enough with you? I rent out houses, I don’t run a charity. If you can’t pay the rent, then move out of my house immediately, or else, don’t blame me for throwing your belongings out!"
Sun Shanshan bit her lip, feeling very upset, not knowing how she had come to a pass like this.
Lin Guimei!
It was all Lin Guimei’s fault.
If it weren’t for Lin Guimei revealing her background in front of the Sun Family, they would not be ignoring her now.
Thinking this, Sun Shanshan felt extremely aggrieved.
"Can you... Can you defer for three more days?"
"Not even three seconds let alone three days! Right now, you either pay the rent or move out immediately!"
The landlady crossed her arms, raising her voice, which, since Lin Guimei rented on the first floor, attracted the attention of a young woman passing by, who stopped and looked their way.
Move out?
Sun Shanshan’s eyes immediately reddened.
She was just a poor, helpless girl without a home, penniless now, where could she move to?
The landlady was truly blinded by money, with no ounce of compassion!
"Landlady, please, can you defer for another three days?"
"No way," the landlady bluntly rejected her.
Three days and again three days.
How many are three days?
She knew all too well the kind of person Sun Shanshan was.
Sun Shanshan looked up at the landlady, furiously said, "Don’t you have a daughter? If your daughter were renting somewhere, facing difficulties and temporarily unable to pay the rent, would you also be so forceful and kick her out?"
Don’t these people know empathy?
And she had already lowered herself to ask for help; did the landlady really have to be so ruthless?
"Ha," the landlady snorted, "My daughter would never be as heartless as you, turning her back on the family that raised her for eighteen years at the drop of a hat, even going so far as to strike them!"
