Chapter 35: Murong Shaofeng (Part 2)

“Don’t even think about it. If you have nothing to do, go and refine medicinal herbs. Mother spent a lot of silvers and effort to get those herbs. The medicinal herbs that you are now refining are all 7th grade of Xuan Class. Only by continuously breaking through you can make mother feel at ease. Isn’t there an Alchemy competition in Haoyue Country in a few days? Go and participate.”

After saying those words, Su Li’s small figure left quickly.

Su Qi looked at his older brother’s back and snorted. “Your mouth is full poisonous words, but I know deep inside your heart, you also want to know who father is.”

Su Qi whispered to himself, “Hmm! Who could be father is? That Jun Lintian guy doesn’t look like us, brothers and sister. He can’t be our father. No, no, I have to secretly check this.”

Su Qi, who’s hands were placed behind his back, shook his head, looking so worried.

“Second young master.”

Su Qi looked back and saw Liu Shiyu at the entrance of the gate, coming in.

“Hey! Uncle Shiyu, you’re back?”

Seeing Liu Shiyu, Su Qi immediately smiled.

“Well! What are you doing at the gate alone?”

Liu Shiyu was wearing a white robe, he looked simple and neat. His warm smile made him looked so handsome.

“Hehe!” Su Qi scratched his head and smiled. “Uncle Shiyu, mother and Uncle He is talking in the study room.”

“This uncle will go and see your mother first. Then later, uncle will give you three, brothers and sister a gift.”

“Thank you, Uncle Shiyu.”

Su Qi smiled and closed his mouth. Every time Liu Shiyu returned from Xingyue Country, he will give them gifts.

In the study room, Su Zimo and He Yunting were discussing business. When He Yunting finished speaking, he found out Su Zimo was in a daze. Today, Su Zimo lose her focus twice.

“Momo, you seem to be absent-minded today?”

Even after stating his opinion, He Yunting didn’t see Su Zimo respond immediately. He never saw Su Zimo like this.

“Huh! No!” Su Zimo slowly responded. She didn’t expect that after seeing Mu Yunxuan, he could affect her mood like this.

“Are you sure? You fell in daze twice.”

He Yunting showed a trace of doubt in his face while looking at Su Zimo.

“Yes!” Su Zimo’s face showed an unnatural expression: “Yunting, what you said is only a small matter. Now, we have 13 shops in the capital of Haoyue Country, which are all in a good place. Right now, the most important thing to do is to find managers that will manage the shops, the other things are easy to handle. Aside from the garments shop, pharmacy shop, and paper shop, the rest of our shops can sell goods. What we need to do now is to focus on our paper industry. Do you remember the short trees in front of Mulian Village? That tree is called Ruixiang. It has abundant branches and leaves. We need to take out all it’s bark because it will regenerate by next spring. You send someone over to ask the villagers to sell us the peel off barks. And aside from that tree, we can also use rattan.”

“Alright! Momo, about the managers? I already selected a few people. I’ll let them come over tomorrow to meet you. As for the bark in the Mulian Village? Those are easy, I’ll send someone over. They’ll be able to finish the job in a few days.”

Now that he can see nothing strange about Su Zimo’s action. He Yunting was very much looking forward to how these paper making industry will shock the Haoyue Country.
