The Happy Farmer Wanderer-Chapter 374 Profit and Division of Labor_1

A vigorous battle had come to an end.

Li Qing once again vigorously irrigated the partially developed fertile land of Lu Furong.

After a brief rest, Lu Furong suddenly pushed Li Qing out of the bathroom and slammed the door shut with a loud bang.

Li Qing was stunned.

During the act, it was all "Daddy hurts me," and "Daddy loves me."

And now, right after, I get the cold shoulder?

Li Qing had never seen a woman switch faces so quickly.

Really, it was like changing faces faster than flipping through a book!

But Li Qing wasn’t angry.

He roughly understood what kind of person Lu Furong was by now.

Wanting to melt this contradictory and cold heart obviously wasn’t an easy task.

Take it slow.

With perseverance turning iron rods into needles, with a few more grinds, Li Qing believed he could surely conquer her.

If a few tries won’t suffice, then a few dozen it is.

At least for now, Lu Furong doesn’t resist getting involved with him at all.

That in itself was already a success of more than half.

The distance from entering the body to entering the heart, by logic, shouldn’t be too far.

Li Qing wandered out to the balcony, looking at the flowers and plants Lu Furong was tidying up.

This woman was actually quite good at organizing her space; the balcony was simply a dense sea of flowers.

Such a large scale, yet not a single decayed leaf to be seen.

Footsteps could be heard from the living room, belonging to Lu Furong.

Li Qing, hearing this, walked out.

Their eyes met, and Lu Furong’s expression had returned to its original indifference, showing no trace of the passion she had just exhibited.

Li Qing didn’t start the conversation either, just silently watching her.

He was curious if her attitude would change following this.

"Have you found enough workers?" Lu Furong asked.

Her attitude was strictly business.

Whether intentional or not, her posture was rather bold; with her legs apart, Li Qing, who sat directly opposite, had a clear view of the palm-sized piece of black fabric and could vaguely glimpse its essence.

Li Qing didn’t hide his gaze, looking directly, as he said, "I’ve already made the arrangements. You can start work as soon as you decide how many people you need."

"For the new rural project, we need ten carpenters and ten bricklayers to start. Thirty percent of the project is paid upfront, and the rest of the payment will be settled after the work passes inspection," Lu Furong said indifferently.

Li Qing diverted his gaze from Miao Renfeng and asked seriously, "I want to know how this money is calculated."

"The thirty percent doesn’t have much to do with you, as you’ll be paid part of it monthly. The remaining balance will be paid in full after the work passes inspection," Lu Furong said indifferently.

"Qi’s construction company is the main contractor, so the thirty percent goes to them. I’m telling you this not for you to covet that money, but so that you have an idea, since you have... never done this before."

Li Qing gave Lu Furong a surprised look.

That’s really rare!

This woman actually considered his interests for once.

It’s like finding a crack in a stone egg!

Li Qing nodded his head, "So how much will I get roughly? Just give me an estimate!"

With a detached look, Lu Furong glanced at Li Qing and crossed her legs as she said, "The total investment for the project in our town is two million. You can expect to take home between fifty and sixty thousand, the timeframe being two months."

"The engineering company we’re registered with takes twenty percent, so you should pocket around four hundred to five hundred thousand. This is just a rough estimate; you’ll know the details when you see the contract."

"The money you receive is based on the area covered. After deducting the fees for the associated company, what’s left is simple to calculate."

Lu Furong’s idea of "a good deal" still set Li Qing’s mind ablaze.

The downside of not being good at math was glaringly obvious at this moment.

He silently did the math several times in his head, deducting the wages of twenty workers for two months.

He estimated that he could make a net profit of around one hundred thousand.

If everything went smoothly, this job was definitely worth taking.

As for affiliating with another company, that was total nonsense. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

It was clearly something Secretary Zhou had arranged himself.

Just by schmoozing around, he had pocketed over one hundred thousand, which made Li Qing both envious and frustrated.

But then a new problem arose.

Suddenly, Li Qing remembered that he was still in partnership with Lü Zong.

Meaning, half of his current profit actually belonged to Lü Zong.

However, partnering with Lü Zong meant that his profit margin on the Sanhe Town project would be a little lower, since it was divided among three parties.

But on projects in other towns, he could still pocket the profits of over one hundred thousand.

Essentially, he was not losing out; in fact, he was earning more in the long run.

"I only have one question now, is there a problem with the money?" Li Qing asked, staring at Lu Furong.

"The Qi Family’s money has always been straightforward; you can rest assured," Lu Furong said, and then suddenly looked up at Li Qing, "Are you worried about the company they are hanging onto?"

"Everything!" said Li Qing.

"Generally, there should be no issues, but if you’re worried, you can choose not to do it," Lu Furong’s lips curled with a hint of mockery. "Our county lacks many things, but we certainly don’t lack capable construction teams."

Li Qing’s eyebrows shot up fiercely, "You must be looking for another poke!"

"Big talk is cheap, can you even perform now?" Lu Furong sneered disdainfully.

"You’re welcome to try!" Li Qing said fiercely.

This woman, she is truly infuriating when she’s being normal!

"Come on then, I am right here. You’ve forced yourself on me so many times, I’m offering myself this time!" Lu Furong said with a snap as she lowered her propped legs, provocatively parting them while looking at Li Qing.

"But if you can’t do it, the next time you dare force yourself on me, I’ll call the police!"

Li Qing was least afraid of such challenges.

He walked up to Lu Furong, unbuckled his belt, and slung his ’thing’ onto her face.

"Come on, get it up for me!"

Lu Furong glanced coldly, not moving her mouth, "Weren’t you just bragging about how great you are? What does it mean to ask for my help? To me, this is a sign that you can’t do it!"

Provocation indeed worked effectively on Li Qing.

He grabbed Lu Furong’s leg and yanked off her barely-there shorts that were struggling to cover anything.

Without wasting words, he entered her.

"Do you feel that?" Li Qing asked coldly.

Lu Furong’s lips curled in contempt, "Just by entering, you think you’ve proved your capability?"

Li Qing’s temper flared up instantly.

He brutally tore apart Lu Furong’s nightgown, seized those elastic and full curves, and launched a fierce assault.

Smack, smack, smack!

Li Qing exerted all his strength, thrusting to the deepest with each stroke.

"Make some noise!"

Lu Furong’s eyes were already watery, but her mouth remained defiant.

With her chin upraised, she said, "I don’t feel a damn thing, what do you want me to scream for?"
