The Happy Farmer Wanderer-Chapter 661 I’m So Angry_1

Li Qing took a brief tour of the magical private room before leaving.

"Lü Zong, now that we have Mountain Ghost Liquor as a support, I think you can slightly scale down this business area."

Seated in the office, Li Qing offered this suggestion offhandedly.

Lü Zong waved his hand, speaking with a solemn face, "Qingzi, you don’t understand. I have an emotional attachment to this. You know I started from this, soliciting in the streets, and gradually accumulated my current wealth. No matter how brilliant my other businesses are or how much money I make, I will never abandon this."

"I want to grow it stronger, to make it perfect!"

Li Qing was immediately at a loss for words.

He had heard countless dreams, many life goals, but this was the first time he’d heard something like Lü Zong’s.

It was clear he indeed had an emotional attachment.

Many in this line of work, after making enough money, mostly shifted to other industries.

Yet he was different; despite having successful hotels, real estate, and liquor factories, he just wouldn’t give this up.

Quite good, Li Qing thought. He still needed to respect dreams.

With a shake of his head and a smile, Li Qing took out the Solidifying Spirit Elixirs he had prepared in advance. "The elixir production was somewhat low this month; I could only allocate three."

"There are only three, regardless of whether it’s enough or not. I also can’t easily pull back from Qi Junhou’s side; that channel must be maintained."

Lü Zong received the elixirs. "It’s enough. Our liquor sales aren’t that expansive yet. With these three elixirs, at the current rate, I can sell for a little over two months."

Li Qing nodded. "As long as it’s enough. Even if it isn’t, there’s nothing we can do. If it really comes down to it, we’ll just have to resort to pre-sales."

"Don’t worry. As long as I have at least two, I can keep a stash of liquor," Lü Zong said.

"Besides, after being hassled by that damned Taoist priest, I’m readjusting our sales direction. From now on, we’ll only go for high-end, personalized selling. If they are not familiar with the ins and outs, even if they come with money, I won’t sell to them."

"Our business now is that proud. I won’t earn money even if I can."

It was apparent that the kidnapping had left Lü Zong with a psychological scar.

"Lü Zong, I think you should still be cautious, take extra precautions. Even with this method of selling, it’s not absolutely safe," Li Qing advised after some thought, "We can’t know everyone’s background, nor can we stop eating for fear of choking."

"Those who know about this product will covet the recipe; those who don’t will covet the huge profits."

"I know that this method only relatively avoids risks; it can’t completely prevent them," Lü Zong sighed, "That’s the price that comes with exorbitant profits—we earn big money and have to accept the risks that come with it."

"Actually, hey, this is how I’ve always made it. Before, people would just run around the streets hacking with watermelon knives. It’s different now. Those guys can do anything, and I’m powerless against them. I can only wait for you to save me."

"Who’s outside? Call Shangguan over to make some tea!"

As he spoke, Lü Zong suddenly shouted outside.

Li Qing smiled helplessly, "Lü Zong, you really should stop always talking about getting me to break my vegetarianism."

"What do you mean, ’breaking vegetarianism’? I want you to be happy in both body and mind," Lü Zong’s face became serious, and with a lifting eyebrow and a somewhat lewd smile, he said, "Qingzi, you should know that you are not only my money tree but also my talisman. It would weigh on my conscience not to make sure you’re well taken care of each time you visit."

"What if I start working here more often?" Li Qing asked wryly with a light laugh.

"Then it’d be simple. You decide who you want when you go out; you’re in charge. I’ll even give you the rights," Lü Zong laughed.

Li Qing: ...

"I think you really treat me like an animal." Li Qing shook his head with a smile as he sipped his tea, somewhat at a loss for words.

"What are you talking about? We have the conditions!" Lü Zong said emphatically, "It’s your company. Don’t you think you should occasionally check on their service quality, get to know the services provided, to see if they’re suitable?"

Li Qing couldn’t help but laugh, "Alright, alright, I can’t argue with you on that. But next time, there’s really no need for such deliberate arrangements. I’ll go by myself if I feel like experiencing it."

"Hey, that’s more like it!" Lü Zong laughed.

Shangguan Yu, dressed in a light green cheongsam and with her hair lightly pinned up in a bun, walked in gracefully. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

After greeting Li Qing and Lü Zong, she skillfully and naturally sat down to make tea.

Watching her make tea was actually a great pleasure, very graceful.

This woman, looking like this, seemed as if she had stepped right out of a painting.

Her demure and lovely exterior inevitably led one to fantasize about the scene of pinning her down on a bed.

She could stir intense interest in a man, both indirectly and directly.

A snow-white, delicate foot stretched out from under the table and rested on Li Qing’s knee, gently caressing and slowly moving upward.

Li Qing pretended to be calm and took a sip of tea, continuing to chat idly with Lü Zong.

For an old driver who had been through many ups and downs, such flirtation was no longer enough to make his blood boil.

The telephone’s ringtone sounded unexpectedly.

Li Qing set down his teacup and pulled out his phone from his pocket.

The call was from a guy he hadn’t been in touch with for a long time.

The human-shaped dinosaur... Dian Chunqiu.

"You little brat, where the hell have you been?" As soon as the call connected, a roaring voice came through the phone.

The outburst left Li Qing’s ears ringing.

"I’m just in the county town," Li Qing replied. "Director Dian, what’s got you so fired up?"

"Why wouldn’t I be angry? I’ve sent you the task notification two days ago, why haven’t you accepted it?" Dian Chunqiu shouted, "Are you trying to desert by pretending not to see it?"

Li Qing was completely puzzled, "What notification? I haven’t seen it at all!"

"Bullshit, are you telling me you don’t have the mission brief and notifications on your phone?" Dian Chunqiu bellowed.

Li Qing stated with absolute certainty and conviction, "I really don’t!"

"You little runt, did you not even install the department’s app on your phone?" Dian Chunqiu shouted.

Li Qing was stunned for quite a while, "Install it where?"

There was silence on the other end of the phone.

After a few long minutes, a roar that sounded like the roar of the Hedong Lion came through, "You little rabbit scoundrel, if I weren’t away from Suzhou Province right now, I’d make sure you’d have trouble even going to the bathroom. The computer provided to you, the bulletins sent to you, they are not useless decorations. Every single word on them is important. You really infuriate me."

Li Qing: ...
