Chapter 405

“Ninth Sister-in-law, don't worry. I'll take care of that group of people and guarantee that nothing like this will happen again in the future.”

This was all He Zhiran wanted to hear from him, anything more was unnecessary.

“I asked Brother Tang to come over today because I have something good to show you.” She quickly changed the subject.

Tang Mingrui was just thinking about how to deal with Second Young Master's little gang and how to handle Boss Jin. When he heard He Zhiran say she had something good, his eyes immediately lit up.

“What good stuff does Ninth Sister-in-law have? Quickly show Brother me.” In his mind, anything He Zhiran said was good must be top notch.

He Zhiran asked Lan Er to bring over a plate of washed cantaloupe.

“Brother Tang, try it first.”

Just the smell when the cantaloupe was brought over was irresistible, let alone tasting it.

But he also knew propriety. He first glanced at the two Mo elders.

Although he didn't know who the old man was, he could see that he was sitting with Old Lady Mo. And he also noticed that the Mo men had been coming back one after another, so he guessed that this person was probably the Old Duke.

If Ninth Sister-in-law hadn't mentioned Second Young Master's matter just now, he would have definitely gone to pay his respects to the two elders first.

At this moment, Tang Mingrui was already aware that he had been impolite. Even though he was eager to taste that sweet and fragrant thing, he could not disregard etiquette.

He slowly walked over to the two elders and bowed deeply.

“Greetings, Old Lady Mo.” Tang Mingrui paused for a moment and looked at Mo Qing.

Although he had guessed his identity, they hadn't been formally introduced, so if he got it wrong, it would be embarrassing.

Seeing this, Mo Jiuye quickly introduced, “This is my father.”

Tang Mingrui confirmed his guess and showed even more respect.

Old Duke Mo ah, he was the God of War praised by Great Shun for decades.

“Junior pays respects to the Old Duke.”

In recent days, Old Lady Mo had already told Mo Qing about the Mo family's situation in detail, even introducing who they knew and didn't leave anyone out.

So Mo Qing was not unfamiliar with the name Tang Mingrui.

“No need for such courtesy. Now my Mo family are just commoners, there is no Old Duke. Young Master Tang can just call me Uncle from now on.”

It seemed that the good stuff Ninth Sister-in-law mentioned was this.

“Ninth Sister-in-law, is this a fruit? It looks a bit like a melon?”

He Zhiran explained, “This is called cantaloupe, I got the seeds from foreigners and planted them on our land in early spring.”

“Cantaloupe, good name, it really is a fragrant and sweet melon.” Tang Mingrui complimented and quickly got to the point, “Ninth Sister-in-law, does Brother get to cooperate with you on this cantaloupe?”

He Zhiran had a lot of contact with Tang Mingrui and already understood his character. She also didn't intend to make unrealistic demands.

“I asked Brother Tang to come today to discuss cooperation on this cantaloupe.”

What Tang Mingrui was most enthusiastic about was doing business, and he wasn't picky about industry. As long as there was money to be made, he could put his hands in.

“Ninth Sister-in-law, as long as you let me have the exclusive right to sell cantaloupe, you can set any terms.”

Tang Mingrui had always maintained a grateful heart towards the Mo family people. Even if there was no profit for him, as long as they asked for help, he was willing.

Moreover, he was very clear about the character of Mo Jiuye and his wife. They would not do that.

He Zhiran also didn't plan to make unreasonable demands. But she could be certain that with cantaloupe in Tang Mingrui's hands, it would definitely sell for a higher price than she could imagine.

“Brother Tang, this is not our first cooperation, let's stick to the old rules, 50-50 split, what do you think?”

He Zhiran did not have much interest in doing business, moreover, that was not her aspiration.

If it wasn't for wanting the Mo family to live well and for money to come through proper channels, she really couldn't be bothered with such things.

Tang Mingrui was also happy with this. Their previous cooperation had been like this as well.

If he wanted the Mo family to earn more profits, he could work hard to sell the cantaloupe at a high price.

“Good, we'll follow Ninth Sister-in-law's suggestion of a 50-50 split. But the final price the cantaloupe can sell for, I'll only know after trying it out.”

“No problem. The cantaloupes have ripened a lot now. Brother Tang can send people over to transport them tomorrow morning.

Also, the cantaloupes are best picked and transported freshly, so when you come to collect the goods tomorrow, try to come early.”

Next, He Zhiran carefully explained the preservation method and approximate storage time of the cantaloupes to give Tang Mingrui a good idea.

Tang Mingrui made note of everything, not wanting to stay a moment longer. He was prepared to go back and arrange for people to come to Xiling Village to transport cantaloupe.

He also had to deal with Second Young Master's men.
