Chapter 193 194. Divide
Gu Wenheng sneered in his heart. This guy had gone around in circles here. It seemed like he was waiting here.
Now, the right to choose is given to myself. Is there any choice?
Gu Wenheng showed a fearful expression, "What should I do? I am just an ordinary scholar, how about I publish the secret recipe?"
"No," Bai Jinglie said anxiously, but he immediately reacted and realized that with this kid's temper, he would not compromise so easily.
"Wenheng, I won't beat around the bush with you. What His Majesty and I meant is that we find a good backer for our glass company, so that everyone will have something to worry about." Bai Jinglie knew that the organization's language had been disrupted along the way, so he just laid it out.
Gu Wenheng leaned forward slightly, "Then what the prince meant is that the emperor wants to be the backer."
Bai Jinglie nodded slightly, "But from now on, these secret recipes will not be in your hands alone. The emperor wants to open a few more workshops."
Gu Wenheng's expression remained unchanged. "Then how do we divide it?"
"Aren't you worried or afraid?" Bai Jinglie felt a little unbalanced as he saw that the other party was not affected at all and was able to deal with it so calmly. "This is the current..."
Gu Wenheng stood up and raised his hands to the sky. "Your Majesty is kind and will not make things difficult for a commoner like me. I think that Prince Bai also came with sincerity."
Bai Jinglie laughed out loud, "Brother Wenheng is indeed very smart. I couldn't fool you even if I tried."
After that, he took out a letter from his chest and handed it to him with both hands. "This is what the emperor and I have discussed together. Please see if there is anything you want to change. I will rush back as fast as I can and will never let Wen Heng suffer any loss."
Gu Wenheng: "..." The thoughts of the ancients are really interesting. Could it be that just because the emperor intervened, he actually got the advantage?
However, he still took the letter with great respect on his face and opened it. When he saw the elegant handwriting on it, he looked up at Bai Jinglie.
Bai Jinglie touched his nose and said, "I wrote all of these, and they have the emperor's seal at the bottom."
Looking at the contract in front of him, Gu Wenheng felt a favorable impression of the superior. Although he had to hand over the secret recipe, he would not have to worry about the trivial matters afterwards and could also get three levels of benefits.
Prince Bai is responsible for all production and sales, but he only has two floors.
As for the one who shaved half of it, the whole world belongs to him. Perhaps in his opinion, this is already a very conscientious act.
"Isn't this a bit inappropriate?" Gu Wenheng covered his chest with his hands, looking embarrassed.
"I also know that Brother Wenheng has suffered a loss in this matter, but this loss is a blessing. At least you have already been listed before the imperial examination. It will only benefit your future, not harm it."
Gu Wenheng shook his head, which made Bai Jinglie feel a little unhappy. It seemed that this kid was a little ungrateful.
"My Lord, I just think the split here is wrong."
"Oh, then how do you want to divide it?" Bai Jinglie was unhappy in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.
Gu Wenheng dipped his hands in the tea and wrote a few numbers on the table. "I have no objection to His Majesty's share, but your share seems to be too little. I just provide the secret recipe, and you don't have to worry about the rest. This is too much for three floors. I think it will be more perfect if we exchange it."
Bai Jinglie was stunned for a moment before he said, "Do you know how many layers there are in here?"
Gu Wenheng smiled and said, "Of course I know, but I don't want to receive rewards without merit. I am satisfied that I can exchange the secret recipe for two levels of benefits."
The two of them pushed and shoved for a while before finally settling on the distribution as Gu Wenheng had suggested.
"It's getting late, why don't you stay for dinner?" Gu Wenheng asked politely.
Bai Jinglie doesn't have those thoughts now. Now that the deal has been made, there are a lot of things to do next.
Besides, now that we have settled the matter, we should also send a message to the emperor in the capital.
Looking at Bai Jinglie who hurriedly led his men away, Gu Wenheng raised the corner of his mouth in self-mockery, then flicked his sleeves and returned to the study.
When Jin Qianqian received the news, she realized that the guests had left. She told the kitchen staff not to work anymore and then walked towards the study.
Seeing Gu Wenheng's expressionless face, Jin Qianqian knew that he was unhappy at the moment, so she walked over and stroked his back, "Is it solved?"
Gu Wenheng pulled the man into his arms and said, "It's solved, but the backer is much better than we thought, which is also a pleasant surprise."
Jin Qianqian held his face and said, "I didn't notice that."
Gu Wenheng took the opportunity to steal her affection and kissed her lips, "But I still can't get over it in my heart. In this dynasty, human rights don't exist at all."
Gu Wenheng told Jin Qianqian the purpose of Bai Jinglie's visit, and she frowned.
"Then our soap workshop didn't say anything?"
Gu Wenheng raised the corner of his mouth, "Long before, I told them that this soap secret recipe was a dowry from your parents' side, and as long as they don't want to be criticized in the future, they won't touch it.
But it’s a good thing this way. With this glass cooperation, you can now openly run your soap workshop.”
Jin Qianqian stroked her chest and said, "Fortunately, these people thought about eating meat and left some soup for us.
But speaking of it, we haven't lost much for now. We may not be able to keep this glass workshop in our hands, but at least we can get some share now."
Gu Wenheng, "It seems that we have to re-evaluate Master Bai. From this incident, it seems that he has a good relationship with the person above, and he is not as unpopular as the outside world has rumored."
Jin Qianqian, "...So are you now on the same boat with them?"
Thinking of this, Jin Qianqian even felt a little scared. If Gu Wenheng didn't have this idea, or had a tougher temper and refused directly, what fate would be waiting for him?
Gu Wenheng obviously thought of this as well, "You can say that."

After the Lantern Festival, everything returned to normal.
Gu Wenheng wrote down the secret recipe and gave it to Bai Jinglie some time ago. Now he has nothing to do, he can show up in Mr. Nan's lecture hall on time every day.
But Prince Bai and his men were not so leisurely, and Lu Ping and Shan Ke'an also basically disappeared from Yingshan Academy.
"Wenheng, it's time to slowly clean up the things at home." Deng Yuanhang suddenly spoke up to remind Gu Wenheng that day.
Gu Wenheng, "Isn't there still about a month left?"
Deng Yuanhang, "Wen Heng is now a big family with a lot of business, if we don't prepare in advance, we will be in a mess when the time comes.
If there are some unimportant luggage, they can also be shipped back in batches.”
Speaking of this, Deng Yuanhang's face was full of envy. "I didn't expect that Wen Heng could earn such a large fortune in such a short time here. But I won't live here in the future. Do you want to sell your house?"
Gu Wenheng raised his eyebrows and looked at him, "What? Did someone find out where you went?"
