267 Beneficial Things
Hearing that the two men were asking for her son, Ms. Fang thought that they were her son's friends he made in town.
So, she smiled at them and said, "Oh, you are Yunduan's friends. Come in and sit down. Our house is very shabby, please, young masters, don't blame us for that."
Yuezheng Xiao and Xie Jingrong exchanged a look and felt assured. That was how people should react to them. This Ms. in front of them looked quite different from the one they met just a while ago.
The two of them had just sat down, when Shao Yunduan arrived.
He was startled too. He went forward and greeted them.
They exchanged a few random words when Liu Yan served them tea and retired. Ms. Fang took her grandchildren to the yard instead of disturbing their conversation.
After a few moments, Yuezheng Xiao expressed his intention of coming over.
"…we are just curious about where you live. Brother Shao, you just don't know how popular lipsticks have become! My sisters, cousins and their friends are all waiting to get some more. Please, Brother Shao, does Mrs. Shao have any more available? We are going to make a huge fortune from it!"
Yuezheng Xiao spoke vividy.
Shao Yunduan finally understood what was going on. He really wondered what these two young masters were doing here all of a sudden. They needed the lipsticks!
But hearing what Yuezheng Xiao said, Shao Yunduan was very happy that the lipsticks were so well-received.
He even felt slightly proud.
That was something his wife had invented! Her invention had made the ladies in the town so obsessed about it.
His wife was really capable! She was excellent!
Shao Yunduan nodded with a smile. "Ever since we separated last time, my wife has been busy making lipsticks with her sister-in-laws and sisters. She counted a couple of days ago, and has around 1,000 available currently."
Yuezheng Xiao cheered. "That is great!"
He had thought that they would get at most 500, or 600, 800 being the upper limit. But they had managed to make 1,000 lipsticks! That was beyond their anticipation!
The Second Miss of the Qiao Family, Mrs. Shao was really capable!
Before he came to this place, he even thought about providing some trustworthy servants and maids for Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan to help them with the work.
But it seemed that the help was not needed.
Yuezheng Xiao laughed with a smile. "Brother Shao, I want them all!"
Shao Yunduan smiled. "Sure, but please, Young Master Yuezheng, do remember not to reveal the source of the lipsticks to anyone."
Shao Yunduan was not worried about the other sections of the family because Qiao Xuan's industry could not be copied by either of them.
But he was worried about County Magistrate Qiao and Madame Qiao.
Yuezheng Xiao came to their door personally and asked for the supply politely, only because the lipsticks were very popular and produced large profits.
No one would refuse to get involved with any profitable business.
He wasn't sure about the County Magistrate, but if Madame Qiao knew that his wife was able to make so much money, she would never leave her alone.
Yuezheng Xiao knew clearly what those people were up to.
He said calmly, "Don't worry, Brother Shao, I remember it well. I will tell my servants never to reveal a thing. And, don't call me Young Master Yuezheng, just call me Brother Yuezheng instead!"
