Chapter 124: 124, the way you hit on people is outdated.
Fortunately, although he knew the production steps, the specific material quantities were all in Ye Jiu’s mind, so Ye Gaosheng didn’t immediately agree.
“Your younger sister?” Liu Yunqing furrowed his brows but cast his questioning gaze at Shopkeeper Mo.
Shopkeeper Mo immediately smiled obsequiously, “There’s also a little girl who came with this young man, waiting downstairs.”
“Exactly, exactly.” Ye Gaosheng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, God knows with what feelings he managed to resist the temptation of the five hundred taels of silver.
Seeing that this young man was not very old, his younger sister must be even younger. Liu Yunqing really couldn’t understand what kind of family would make it so that a young man couldn’t make his own decisions and instead let a little girl decide.
“In that case, let your sister come up,” said Liu Yunqing.
Downstairs, Ye Jiu was examining the rouge and face powder, but turned her head to see Little Liuzi coming over again, this time to bring her directly upstairs.
Ye Jiu frowned, fearing there must be a problem with the soap; otherwise, they clearly looked down on a little girl like herself and wouldn’t have specifically come down to invite her up.
Upon opening the door, Ye Jiu’s gaze was immediately captured by the person inside.
The gentleman was like a fine piece of jade, peerless in the world.
This was Ye Jiu’s first thought upon seeing Liu Yunqing.
Especially the smile at the corner of his mouth, warm and refined, was enough to make one fall at first sight!
But, having seen various young heartthrobs on television, Ye Jiu quickly came back to reality, “May I know if you’ve called me here at this time because there’s a problem with the soap formula?”
Ye Jiu didn’t recognize this gentleman and didn’t dare to start a conversation rashly, so she could only ask Shopkeeper Mo.
“Here’s the situation, our shop wants to pay to acquire your soap formula. But this young man said he couldn’t make the decision, hence the trouble of having the young lady come up,” Shopkeeper Mo said amicably, though it was obvious he didn’t really want to talk to Ye Jiu.
Indeed, the world was still very harsh on women, where almost all the big decisions were made by men; it was normal for the shopkeeper to not want to negotiate with her.
Ye Jiu almost instinctively refused, “If you’re looking to buy the formula, I’m sorry, we only sell the soap, and have no intention of selling the formula.”
“Young lady, do you know how much money we are prepared to offer? Isn’t such a hasty refusal a bit too imprudent?” Shopkeeper Mo was surprised by Ye Jiu’s refusal.
From the clothes they were wearing, it could be guessed that their family background was not very good. Upon encountering an opportunity to make money, shouldn’t they at least inquire about how much money was being offered before making plans?
“No matter how much money you offer, we only sell soap, not the formula,” Ye Jiu persisted.
Shopkeeper Mo frowned and involuntarily turned his questioning gaze toward Liu Yunqing.
Ever since Ye Jiu entered the door, Liu Yunqing’s gaze occasionally settled on Ye Jiu’s face, making her feel uneasy.
Especially after Shopkeeper Mo’s question, Liu Yunqing suddenly approached Ye Jiu and stopped not far from her, “Young lady, you look very familiar. Have you ever been to the capital city before?”
Ye Jiu was not pretty, with dark skin and spots on her face; logically, he shouldn’t have seen her before, but Liu Yunqing just felt she had a strangely familiar air.
“Sir, has anyone told you that your way of striking up a conversation is outdated?” Ye Jiu still wore her usual smiling face, but no one knew the complexity in her heart.
The capital city, she had only stayed there once in her life, when she was born, but those memories were not very pleasant.
