Chapter 282: Different Aesthetics from Ordinary People
An Jin has been the shopkeeper at Shidinglou for so long that he has some insights into doing business.
Knowing that this distribution method was not reasonable, the money was paid by the young lady, and Pei Liangchuan was just lowering the price, so how could he get 40%?
An Jin felt that the young lady gave so much because she was considerate of her.
As early as when the young lady rescued her from the brothel, she had already handed her life over to the young lady in her heart.
No one can bully the young lady, not even Pei Liangchuan!
An Jin had a cold face and his eyes were like blades shooting straight at Pei Liangchuan, very unfriendly.
Pei Liangchuan shuddered when he received the look, touched his nose, and smiled a bitter smile.
Alas, thinking of the great Pei Liangchuan, he loves gold and silver and taking advantage of others the most in his life.
Now that such a big advantage is right in front of him and he is not allowed to take advantage of it, he feels really uncomfortable.
But what can be done?
You can earn money again if you lose it, but you only have one wife.
Given An Jin's temperament and his loyalty and admiration for Shen Qionghua, if he dared to agree and take advantage of her, it would be even more difficult for him to win her heart.
Thinking of this, Pei Liangchuan sighed in his heart and said against his will: "Miss Shen, you...what are you talking about? Is Pei this kind of person in your heart?"
"You helped An Jinliang a lot in the past. I just helped with some small things within my ability. This is what I should do. How can I have the nerve to take 40% of the money from you?"
"You only need to give me a dozen taels of silver to cover Pei's travel expenses."
When Pei Liangchuan said this, his heart was bleeding, but he had to force a smile, and his eyes looked at An Jin's expression from time to time, just like a henpecked husband.
Shen Qionghua found it funny to see Pei Liangchuan looking so distressed yet trying to hold it back.
Knowing that if she didn't ask, Pei Liangchuan would never accept the money out of consideration for An Jin.
In fact, the Shen family is wealthy and powerful, so Shen Qionghua doesn't have to save the money to buy food. What she needs is someone who is trustworthy and not likely to arouse suspicion to come forward to collect the food.
Of course, it would be best if we could save a little.
Such people are hard to find.
Pei Liangchuan first helped Xie Nanyuan detoxify, and then bought a lot of medicine from him. Now he has a relationship with An Jin, he is tight-lipped, smart, and good at speaking, so he is simply the most suitable candidate.
So instead of using this little money to bribe others, it would be better to give it to Pei Liangchuan.
As for An Jin's opinion that Pei Liangchuan should not take so much silver, Shen Qionghua did not think so. An Jin was thinking about her because of the previous incident.
Naturally, she also had to consider An Jin. The Shen family was not short of money, so there was no need to be humble just to save a little bit.
If she really did what An Jin said, she would owe others a favor and would feel guilty about taking it. If Pei Liangchuan bullied An Jin in the future, she would not be able to stand up straight to vent her anger on An Jin.
This is the real loss outweighing the gain.
It’s better to pay for goods in full, so that no one owes anyone anything.
If something really happens in the future, you can take revenge if you have a grudge and repay if you have a grudge.
An Jin listened to what Pei Liangchuan said, and her expression finally improved. She agreed, "Yes, Miss, he is right. Just give him a few taels of silver as travel expenses."
Shen Qionghua chuckled and shook her head, saying, "You don't have to argue. Just do as I say. Doctor Pei will take 40% of the money. How much you can earn depends on your eloquence."
Seeing that An Jin still had something to say, Shen Qionghua said, "You don't have to say anymore. I was planning to do this anyway. Instead of letting others earn this money, it's better to let Dr. Pei earn it. At least I trust him."
"If you really think it's too much, then tell him to negotiate the price properly and buy more food. That way, you can earn back the money."
When An Jin heard Shen Qionghua's firm tone, he knew that Shen Qionghua had made up his mind and there was no room for negotiation.
She glared at Pei Liangchuan fiercely and said, "You better bargain carefully!"
"Don't worry, leave it to me." Pei Liangchuan was overjoyed at the moment, and immediately complimented Shen Qionghua, saying, "Miss Shen is indeed a sensible person. Pei admires her."
While Pei Liangchuan was happy, a feeling of sadness welled up in his heart.
Alas, it seems that in An Jin's heart, he is far inferior to Shen Qionghua. If he has to choose between the two, he will definitely be the one to be abandoned.
An Jin's eyebrows raised when she heard these words full of resentment.
Does this mean she's being unreasonable?
An Jin walked towards Pei Liangchuan with her hands on her hips, scaring Pei Liangchuan so much that he screamed.
He immediately took the banknotes on the table and was about to leave, but Shen Qionghua quickly stopped him.
Then he looked at An Jin and whispered a few words in his ear.
An Jin slowly lowered his hands from his waist, snorted coldly from his nose, and slowly uttered two words from his red lips, "Wait."
Then he opened the door and went out, not forgetting to close the door.
After a while, An Jin came back with a bag in her hand and threw herself into Pei Liangchuan's arms.
"What is this?" Pei Liangchuan opened the bundle in his arms with doubts. Inside were two sets of men's clothes. The quality was a bit rough, and they were dark and gray, which were extremely stain-resistant and inconspicuous.
Pei Liangchuan comes from a wealthy family. Looking at his crown and belt, which are all made of gold, you can tell that he is not short of money. Although he loves money, he will not treat himself badly in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Although the material he was wearing was not top-grade cloth worth several thousand taels per piece, it was still a rare and good material. Naturally, he would look down upon such inferior material.
Pei Liangchuan frowned and stared at the material in his hand with a look of disgust. He didn't understand what An Jin was going to do with this kind of clothes for him.
Shen Qionghua smiled and said, "I'm sorry to have to trouble Doctor Pei this time."
"You are also aware of the current situation in the capital. I am afraid that many people are eyeing the Shen family. In order for you to collect the grain smoothly and avoid any unnecessary complications, please change into these two sets of inconspicuous clothes when you set out to avoid attracting attention."
Pei Liangchuan's eyes widened as he swung the clothes in his hands, which looked very worn to him, and said, "Miss Shen, are you sure? You want me to wear this kind of clothes to collect grain?"
What a joke!
Pei Liangchuan had never worn such clothes in his life. Even before he became known as a miracle doctor, the clothes he wore were countless times better than these two sets.
"I won't wear it." Pei Liangchuan flatly refused, putting the clothes on the table with disdain, and said, "They can target the Shen family, but I'm not from the Shen family. Who would target me? Miss Shen, isn't that why you asked me to collect the grain?"
Seeing Pei Liangchuan's resistance, Shen Qionghua sighed and said, "That's true. You are not from the Shen family, so they won't stare at you."
"But you've been at the Food Bowl Restaurant all this time, and your attire is... particularly impressive. It's hard to guarantee that someone won't have a memory of you."
"If you change your clothes, they won't recognize you."
Anyone would be stunned if someone who wears gold and silver all day long suddenly takes off all her makeup. Those who are following her would definitely not pay attention to Pei Liangchuan.
Pei Liangchuan's attention was not on his clothes at the moment. When he heard Shen Qionghua say this, he immediately smiled and said, "Miss Shen also thinks that my outfit is good and impressive?"
"You have really good taste. It's a pity that others don't understand my aesthetic sense. Look at this golden color, it's so beautiful."
As he spoke, Pei Liangchuan touched the golden jade crown on his head and the golden belt around his waist, muttering, "It's just a little heavy."
Shen Qionghua: “…”
An Jin: “…”
