"Master Fan, you’ve come to me at just the right time. To be honest, I’ll be able to deliver the first batch of goods to you tomorrow morning," Wei Ruo said.
Fan Chengxu put down his teacup and looked at Wei Ruo with a smile, scrutinizing her. "That’s quite the coincidence. Honestly, I’m very much looking forward to receiving your goods."
"Rest assured, Master Fan. When the goods are delivered, you can inspect them first," Wei Ruo added.
"Judging from today's Laba porridge, I have great confidence in your five-spice powder and oyster sauce. I have every reason to believe your products won't disappoint me," Fan Chengxu said.
"Good." Fan Chengxu agreed with a smile, his gaze showing appreciation for Wei Ruo.
He enjoyed dealing with smart people, and this "Young Master Xu," whose disguise wasn’t particularly convincing, happened to be one of them.
At this point, he was even a little curious about what this Young Master Xu actually looked like beneath the disguise.
Judging by the hands, he figured the person must be a young, refined boy.
Perhaps it was out of concern that his original delicate appearance wouldn’t be convincing enough that he dressed himself this way.
It was a clever idea—just that the disguise skills were a bit clumsy. Fortunately, his skills in other areas weren’t nearly as crude.
Fan Chengxu then said, "If Young Master Xu is not in a hurry, why not sit down and have some tea with me?"
Shopkeeper Shen, standing beside him, made a gesture to invite Wei Ruo to sit.
Wei Ruo smiled lightly. "Then I’ll humbly accept."
After sitting down, Fan Chengxu poured her a cup of tea. "Young Master Xu, you look quite young. You haven’t reached the age of adulthood yet, have you?"
"That’s right, not yet."
"Ah, I see." Fan Chengxu’s lips curled into a smile, a crafty glint in his eyes.
In that instant, Wei Ruo had a rough idea of what he was laughing about.
However, Wei Ruo remained calm. Although the other party could tell she was in disguise, most of her face was covered by a beard and birthmarks, so he couldn’t see much anyway.
"Has Young Master Xu ever considered working under me?" Fan Chengxu asked.
"I'm honored by Master Fan's appreciation, but I still prefer working on my own," Wei Ruo declined politely.
Shopkeeper Shen beside him said, "Young Master Xu, my master is no ordinary businessman. If you follow him, what you gain won't just be financial profits from doing business."
Wei Ruo gave a calm smile. "I'm not interested in Master Fan's other identities. I only want to do a bit of business and earn some silver to support my family. Please forgive me, Master Fan, if my vision seems short-sighted and limited. If I’ve dampened your mood, let me offer this cup of tea in place of wine as a form of apology."
With that, Wei Ruo picked up the cup in front of her and drank it in one go.
Fan Chengxu smiled. "In that case, I can only look forward to other future collaborations with you, Young Master Xu."
"I'm looking forward to it as well," Wei Ruo replied.
Wei Ruo stayed at Drunken Immortal Restaurant for a short while before leaving.
She had expected Fan Chengxu to mention something about the Laba porridge, but in the end, he only spoke about the business partnership.
After two meetings, Wei Ruo felt that Fan Chengxu was a difficult and unpredictable person. She hoped that their relationship would remain strictly business. In the current situation, having another potential adversary like him would be quite troublesome.
