Chapter 204 Merchant Lear
Meng Qingyin looked at the merchant and remained silent for a long time.
She didn't understand why the businessman had said those things to her out of the blue.
Moreover, being stared at by the businessman with an expressionless face made her scalp tingle.
An NPC gave her a dangerous feeling, as if something was starting to go out of control.
The atmosphere between the two was tense and oppressive, as if it could explode at any moment.
However, to others, it was clearly just a simple exchange of glances.
Suddenly, the merchant chuckled and broke the silence: "Don't be nervous. You haven't broken my rules, so I won't do anything to you."
Her expression relaxed. "Besides, you could potentially bring me wealth. Theoretically speaking, I'm more interested in facilitating this collaboration than you are."
Meng Qingyin did not speak.
The businessman clicked his tongue twice and began to analyze the pros and cons: "A 40/60 split, you get 60% and I get 40%, I don't think you have any reason to refuse. You know, even if you have a seed collector, renting it out isn't an easy task. Why not rent it to me and be a hands-off manager? What do you say?"
A 40/60 split, even more than Meng Qingyin had expected by 10%.
She naturally had no reason to refuse.
Meng Qingyin: "Okay, I'll draft a contract."
The businessman shook his head: "No need. I don't like people breaking my rules, and I'm naturally a person who follows the rules. I will transfer your share to you every day without missing a penny, so you don't need to worry about me pocketing it."
Meng Qingyin insisted, "A contract must be drafted."
Since it's a collaboration, it should naturally be clearly written down in black and white.
Otherwise, who will be responsible if problems arise later?
The businessman shrugged. "Since you insist, I'm fine with anything."
Meng Qingyin borrowed paper and pen and quickly wrote two contracts.
The businessman didn't even look at it before signing his name on it in a flamboyant manner.
Meng Qingyin carefully examined the name before recognizing it as Li Er.
She also signed her name, and the contract was split between the two of them.
Lear carefully put away the contract and casually asked, "Now that we're already working together, could you tell me how you obtained your seed collector?"
Meng Qingyin paused, looking at her probingly: "This has nothing to do with our cooperation, does it?"
Li Er smiled, seemingly unconcerned. "It's alright. I was just a little curious. We've already started working together, so how about satisfying my curiosity?"
Her demeanor now is completely different from before.
Now, she's more like a caring older sister.
However, Meng Qingyin did not lower her guard against her: "No comment."
Lear shrugged. "Okay."
They didn't pursue the matter relentlessly.
Meng Qingyin handed the seed collector to Li Er, added her as a friend, and then left.
Li Er watched Meng Qingyin's departing figure, his expression gradually turning blank.
"How exactly did you obtain your seed collector?"
...
Having settled the matter of renting out the seed collectors, Meng Qingyin felt a great sense of relief.
She bought some snacks for the little one, and the two of them ate as they strolled around.
This market was bustling with activity. Meng Qingyin even noticed that some people had set up fortune-telling stalls, and there was a constant stream of people coming and going.
She watched with awe.
One NPC is telling fortunes for another group of NPCs?
Something feels off.
Still thinking about finding some rare props, Meng Qingyin didn't look around for long and quickly moved on.
I had only taken a few steps when I ran into an acquaintance, Zheng Shi.
Upon seeing her, Zheng Shi's face lit up with joy: "Heroine!"
Meng Qingyin gave a slight smile, which was considered a greeting.
She felt that she and Zheng Shi were not familiar with each other, and that a greeting would be enough when they met.
She kept her eyes straight ahead and her steps never faltered.
To everyone's surprise, Zheng Shi actually chased after them with a blush on his face.
Meng Qingyin asked in confusion, "Why are you following me?"
Zheng Shi picked at her fingers, her face flushed with shyness, "I...you...you...I..."
She smiled so beautifully at him; she must like him.
From then on, he followed her wherever she went.
At this moment, he forgot all about the Robbery Alliance and brotherhood.
Meng Qingyin didn't want to waste words with him, so she turned and left.
Zheng Shiyi was stunned. He immediately chased after her and stood in front of her, asking hesitantly, "You...don't you like me?"
After asking the question, he looked at Meng Qingyin with great nervousness.
Upon hearing this, Meng Qingyin felt as if she had misheard. "What did you say?"
Zheng Shi blushed even more. "You are the most unique woman I've ever met. I like you. What about you?"
Meng Qingyin frowned. "Nonsense."
This person must have lost their mind.
Seeing that she didn't believe him, Zheng Shi became anxious: "Everything I said is true! I can't live without you!"
Meng Qingyin didn't care whether what he said was true or false, because she had no interest in him regardless. "I'll only say this once, listen carefully, I'm not interested in you, so don't follow me anymore."
Zheng Shiru was struck dumb, watching helplessly as Meng Qingyin left without any mercy.
A few seconds later, he burst into tears.
Meng Qingyin didn't take Zheng Shi's matter to heart and continued strolling around.
A commotion suddenly broke out to the right front, with angry shouts faintly heard.
Meng Qingyin looked over and saw a strong, middle-aged man punching and kicking a beggar.
The beggar, dressed in rags, simply curled up to protect his head.
The man grew angrier the more he hit her, cursing, "You blind old bastard, can you afford to pay for the clothes you've dirtied?"
People around him pointed and whispered about the man, but no one stepped forward.
Meng Qingyin slowly walked over. The man beat her more and more vigorously, while the beggar on the ground seemed to have stopped moving and had been knocked unconscious.
Seeing this, the man felt it was bad luck and spat on him: "Pah, what bad luck!"
The spittle landed squarely on Meng Qingyin's shoes as she passed by.
The man lifted his foot to leave, but was firmly restrained by two hands.
He turned around and saw a young girl who looked very young.
He said impatiently, "What are you doing? Can you afford to pay for the clothes you've torn?"
Meng Qingyin's tone was cold, "You've dirtied my shoes."
The man looked down and saw a puddle of saliva on the surface of his sneakers.
He rolled his eyes and said casually, "Oh, sorry."
After saying that, he tried to leave.
But those hands didn't loosen their grip; instead, they clenched even tighter.
The man glared angrily at Meng Qingyin, "Don't push your luck! I've already apologized, what more do you want?"
Meng Qingyin stared at him and said, word by word, "Lick it clean for me."
The man laughed angrily, "You bitch, don't think I won't hit you just because you're a woman... Ah!"
The man suddenly screamed, his face turning deathly pale.
Meng Qingyin continued to tighten her grip, "You've dirtied my shoes, can you afford to pay for them?"
The man's face was covered in cold sweat, but he pretended to be calm. "I'm warning you, don't cause trouble in the market, or the security team won't let you off the hook!"
