Zhou Yunlin approached the first stall on the left, “Auntie, can you introduce me to the items at your stall? I haven’t seen any of them before.”

Li Qingyu smiled, “Of course…” She introduced each item, “Young master, would you like to try something?”

“I’ll have a sandwich,” Zhou Yunlin sat at an empty seat nearby, his eyes filled with anticipation.

“Alright.” Li Qingyu skillfully wrapped the sandwich in wax paper and handed it to Zhou Yunlin, “Would you like some sugarcane juice?”

Zhou Yunlin nodded, “A bowl, please.” Feeling thirsty, he added, “And a longan ice cream bar.”

The longan was from Li Qingyu’s childhood friend’s place. She made them into ice cream bars, selling for thirty-five copper coins each. Although expensive, many people bought them.

“Okay.” Li Qingyu smiled and handed Zhou Yunlin the items, “Please enjoy.” Zhou Yunlin first ate the ice cream bar, then the sandwich with sugarcane juice, very satisfied, “Auntie, please give me one of each of the other foods.” “Are you sure you can finish them all?”

Zhou Yunlin waved his hand, “No problem, I’ll take what I can’t finish home.” “Alright, I’ll get them for you right away.” Li Qingyu took a tray and selected one of each item for Zhou Yunlin, taking both a savory and a sweet rice dumpling, freshly made and still hot.

She placed the tray in front of Zhou Yunlin, “Take your time.”

“Thank you.” Zhou Yunlin looked down at the tray full of food, enough for two people.

He picked up a rice dumpling and smelled it, a blend of bamboo leaves, glutinous rice, and meat aroma, unfamiliar yet pleasant. He eagerly “undressed” the rice dumpling.

Talcing a small bite…

“It’s sticky and fragrant, delicious!”

Zhou Yunlin was a little stunned. Someone actually thought of steaming glutinous rice like this. Glutinous rice was not easy to sell. The Zhou family’s grain store had the most stock of glutinous rice.

Now, it seemed like a win-win could be realized.

He tasted each item, eventually affirming the quality of all the foods.

Young Master Zhou finished everything, rubbing his full stomach without caring about his image.

He paid and walked towards Chu’s Trade. It was time to get down to business.

Chu Xuhua had filled hundreds of forms today, almost without stopping. His hand was sore, “Ruyue, I’m tired.”

Shen Ruyue took the brush from his hand and set it down, concerned, “You should rest a bit.”

If the setting had been different, Chu Xuhua would have wanted to embrace

Shen Ruyue and kiss her, “Okay, wife, I’ll listen to you.”

Shen Ruyue smiled sweetly, her smile a mix of a young girl’s innocence and a married woman’s charm, making Chu Xuhua’s heart flutter, and he subtly squeezed her hand.

Zhou Yunlin witnessed this scene, feeling envious of Chu Xuhua for being able to work alongside his wife, unlike his wife, who only knew how to spend money.

After her marriage, Shen Ruyue combed her hair up to indicate her married status.

Seeing Zhou Yunlin approach, who looked dignified and well-dressed, Chu Xuhua and Shen Ruyue became even more serious.

Chu Xuhua handed Zhou Yunlin the price list, warmly greeting, “May I ask what business you would like to discuss, young master?”

“I’ll take a look first.” Zhou Yunlin looked at the price list, surprised to see they also sold ice. The Chu family seemed more complex than he had imagined, and he took the matter even more seriously in his heart.

At Guangxi Garden, the area around the stage was the most crowded. Li Changlc was also among them, disguised as a man with a fake beard, staying quiet and unnoticed for the time being.

Li Changle glanced around at the people attentively listening to Chu Qingzhi and thought to herself, what magic does Chu Qingzhi have? Why is everyone centered around her? Why does she easily capture everyone’s attention? She’s just a country girl, what makes her so special?

The more Li Changle thought, the angrier she got, and her gaze gradually became fiercer, successfully catching Chu Qingzhi’s attention.

Chu Qingzhi glanced at Li Changlc, subtly raising an eyebrow, surprised to see the princess had sneaked out of the palace and come to Guangxi Garden. Feeling Chu Qingzhi’s gaze, Li Changlc instantly felt a chill and calmed down. Chu Qingzhi must have recognized her. What should she do now?

Chu Qingzhi’s gaze lightly swept over Li Changlc, then moved away, thinking that if the princess wanted to play, she would play along until she had enough of it.

Wait, Chu Qingzhi suddenly remembered the missing plan book. Could its disappearance be related to the princess being here?

Zhou Yunlin finished reading the price list, “Let’s not beat around the bush.

Your products are very good, and I am very interested in cooperating. There’s just one thing I’d like to discuss with Manager Chu.”

Chu Xuhua spoke seriously, “Please go ahead.”

Zhou Yunlin, a man with a talent for business, said, “If your family’s new products are sold in the capital, can you consider the Zhou family as your first partner?”

“Consider the Zhou family as our first partner?” Chu Xuhua pondered, “Give me a moment, I need to ask my younger sister.” This was a big decision, and he couldn’t make it alone.

Zhou Yunlin was surprised. “Alright, please take your time.” As he spoke, his gaze swept across the fairy-like girl on the stage. He thought to himself, she is not only beautiful, but also capable.

Chu Xuhua went backstage and relayed Zhou Yunlin’s words to Chu Qingzhi during her break.

Chu Qingzhi said, “First find out how big the Zhou family’s business is. If it’s substantial and has a good reputation, we can agree.”

Chu Xuhua nodded, understanding, “Okay, I’ll probe a bit.”

Chu Qingzhi added, “Big brother, if you’re unsure, there’s no need to rush.

Business sometimes can’t be concluded in one go.”

Chu Xuhua replied, “Understood.”

Chu Qingzhi observed the wealthy-looking Zhou Yunlin. Judging by his appearance, he seemed neither good nor bad, quite smart, and skilled in business. It would be hard for others to get the better of him.

Chu Xuhua returned and spoke carefully, “Young master, would you like to come in for a detailed discussion?”

Zhou Yunlin smiled in agreement, “Please.”

Chu Xuhua invited Zhou Yunlin into a room, “Please have a seat.” He then served tea and sat opposite Zhou Yunlin.

Zhou Yunlin politely sipped the tea, “Please speak freely, Manager Chu. In business, honesty is key, and there’s nothing that can’t be discussed.”

Chu Xuhua thought to himself that this man was an experienced negotiator, “Then I’ll speak plainly.” He paused, “May I ask what kind of business your family is in?”

Zhou Yunlin smiled. It seemed like Chu Xuhua had received guidance from an expert. “My surname is Zhou. I’m Zhou Yunlin. My family is the richest people in the Daling Dynasty. We’re involved in all kinds of industries, including the shipping industry and restaurants.”

Chu Xuhua was momentarily stunned in surprise. The richest in Daling? And they came to them for cooperation! This seemed as unbelievable as a pig falling from the sky..
