Chapter 115 Cooperation in the Black Market
Ye Mu En returned to the topic, and Brother Kui revealed his shrewd businessman's nature.
"From now on, as long as we are in Qi City, we will ship once a week. I wonder if you can handle it."
"I can handle five times what I used to get weekly. I'm not just in Qi City; I control the black markets in all the counties and towns under Qi City. Plus, I have the neighboring Hui City, so I can take on any amount of goods."
Ye Sheng Ge was quite surprised. She hadn't expected Brother Kui to be such a big shot in the black market.
"Alright then, I'll increase it to five times the previous supply, but it will be mostly grain."
"Grain is good. Nothing is more filling than grain right now."
After a few pleasantries, Ye Mu En's expression turned serious.
"Brother Kui, let's not talk about the life-saving favor anymore. But for our cooperation, I hope you understand that we're in this together, like grasshoppers on the same rope. Don't do anything that can't be undone."
Brother Kui was not offended by Ye Mu En's words. People in business only cared about profit, especially when dealing with their biggest client.
"Don't worry, benefactor. You are my biggest client. I won't lose sight of the bigger picture for a small gain. You can ask around; Brother Kui never double-crosses in the black market. That's something for short-sighted people. I aim for maximum profit."
Ye Mu En nodded with satisfaction. At least, he thought Brother Kui was a straightforward person.
Only then did Ye Sheng Ge truly relax. In her previous life, her prominent family background hadn't meant much to her; even with vast wealth, her life couldn't be saved. Therefore, all she wanted now was to earn some money to ensure her family could live safely in this difficult world. A prominent family background meant nothing to her.
"Brother Kui, from now on, Luo Han Sheng, who is by my side, will be the contact person. The location will remain the secret passage underground at that haunted house. You know my health; I really don't have the energy to run back and forth frequently."
Speaking of Ye Sheng Ge's health, Brother Kui remembered Old Fan, who grumbled daily.
"Miss Ye, if you don't appear before Old Fan soon, he won't treat you anymore."
Ye Sheng Ge touched her forehead, thinking of Old Fan's temper.
"I came today for this matter as well. I want to start treatment from today and apologize to Old Fan."
"Alright, I'll have Er Liang take you there later. You can discuss anything between yourselves."
Ye Mu En was still being pestered by Brother Kui, who kept insisting that Ye Mu En and his sister should come to him for help if they had any problems.
Ye Sheng Ge never knew Brother Kui could be so effeminate, chattering endlessly.
Ye Mu En finally escaped, his forehead covered in sweat. Er Liang, standing nearby, kept stifling his laughter. His boss's refined demeanor was all an act, and someone had finally seen through it.
Old Fan's residence was not in the city center. It was in the suburbs, just like where Ye Sheng Ge currently lived, but on the opposite side of the city. This meant that Ye Sheng Ge would definitely not be able to handle the daily commute after classes.
"Don't worry, let's see Old Fan first."
Ye Mu En never gave up on any opportunity to treat his sister's illness, even if it was just a rumor. He wouldn't shy away from a long journey.
Old Fan was in the courtyard, sorting dried medicinal herbs. He was quite excited to see Ye Sheng Ge enter but quickly restrained himself, putting on an arrogant expression.
Ye Sheng Ge quickly stepped forward to apologize, clasping her hands together, her face full of solicitousness.
"Old Fan, I've been really busy lately. I came today as soon as I had some free time, bringing my elder brother to apologize."
Ye Sheng Ge also took out two cans of excellent tea that her mother had prepared earlier from her bag. She felt that it would surely make Old Fan forgive her in exchange for the gift.
