Dong Qiaoqiao also understood the logic behind it. After all, their purchasing power was limited. The rich scholars had already bought what they needed to buy, and there wasn't much profit left in the secondary market. If they increased the print run, it would definitely not be worth it.
She was a girl who was easily satisfied. Earning five thousand taels of silver in one morning was definitely a miracle. In the past, she wouldn't even dare to think about it. She was satisfied.
"Brother Lin, are you really going to work for the Xiao Family as a servant?" Dong Qiaoqiao no longer cared about the print run. She looked at Lin Wanrong and hesitated for a long time. Finally, she opened her mouth and asked, "Don't tell me you're doing this for Lady Xiao?"
Lin Wanrong pretended to be surprised, "Hey, Qiaoqiao, you can even see through this. You're really smart and able to predict the future."
Dong Qiaoqiao revealed a strange expression. She didn't seem to be in a good mood.
Lin Wanrong saw that the girl was a little depressed and couldn't bear to tease her anymore. He shook his head and laughed, "Hehe, I'm just joking with you. Don't worry, I'm not interested in that Lady Xiao. Think about it, no one has seen what she looks like. If an ugly person were to pester me, I might as well find a tree and hang myself. "
Dong Qiaoqiao found his words amusing and couldn't help but burst out laughing. She said, "Who would make up stories like this?"
Lin Wanrong laughed and said, "Life isn't going according to one's wishes. I have my own difficulties in working for the Xiao Family. You also know that although our business is good this time, it's only a one-time business. It's not a long-term plan. I also need to eat and support my family. It's already good enough to find a place to take me in. The Xiao Family's servants are treated pretty well. As for me, I'm not an ambitious person. I like to adapt to circumstances. Besides, I don't have any strong points. I'm just a little handsome, good-tempered, and resourceful. If the Xiao Family wants to choose me as their servant, they've found the right person. "
Lin Wanrong had a bitter look on his face. He didn't need to pretend. If he hadn't fallen into Old Man Wei's trap, he wouldn't have come to serve others even if he was beaten to death.
Dong Qiaoqiao blushed as she covered her mouth and giggled, "Big Brother Lin, you're really thick-skinned. However, it's nice talking to you. Not only are you a nice person, but you also know a lot. I like talking to you. "
Lin Wanrong chuckled and said, "Of course. Did you know that back in my old hometown, many girls liked to listen to me talk? When I went to work, everyone would gather around me and listen to my stories. How about it? I'm charming, right? "
This kid wasn't bragging. Lin Wanrong was optimistic and eloquent. He got along well with everyone. As the saying goes, don't slap a smiling face. To do business, one had to be as thick-skinned as him.
"Really?" Dong Qiaoqiao glanced at him and said, "I wonder which family's daughter is lucky enough to be betrothed to such a good family like Big Brother Lin."
Lin Wanrong thought of the girlfriends he had. Those who loved him and those whom he loved had all passed away like flowing water. He would never have the chance to see them again.
A trace of disappointment flashed across his face. He shook his head and smiled bitterly, "What luck? I'm a bachelor now. I have a gun and a gun. I can fall wherever I go."
His loneliness fell into Qiaoqiao's eyes. Dong Qiaoqiao lowered her head and bit her lips. When she heard his words, she raised her head again. A bright light flashed across her face.
"But Big Brother Lin, when you put on a straight face, you look very scary." Dong Qiaoqiao imitated Lin Wanrong and deliberately said in a rough voice, "Face is given by others, but face is earned by oneself —" After saying that, she giggled again.
Lin Wanrong wanted to laugh, but he didn't. He put away the smile on his face and said seriously, "Qiaoqiao, you can't judge everything by appearances. You only feel happy talking to me. How do you know that I'm not a bad person?"
Lin Wanrong thought of the mutual deception in the business world. When they met, he would be full of smiles, but when he turned around, he would stab someone in the back. Lin Wanrong had seen many of such things and had personally participated in many of them. Now that he thought about it, it really was like a dream.
Dong Qiaoqiao was stunned. She had been with Lin Wanrong for a few days. She had seen him laughing and joking all day, but she had never seen him like this.
She softly nodded and looked at Lin Wanrong. She said softly, "Big Brother Lin, is there something on your mind? You seem very unhappy. Can you talk to Qiaoqiao about it? "
Lin Wanrong laughed and said, "Don't think you're smart, girl. I'm very happy."
Dong Qiaoqiao looked at him and said firmly, "Big Brother Lin, you're a good person. From the first time I saw you, I knew it."
After she finished speaking, she looked deeply into Lin Wanrong's eyes. Then she picked up the empty lunchbox and quickly ran away.
Lin Wanrong rubbed his nose helplessly. I'm a good person? Yes, I think so too. But looking at this girl running, her little butt swayed very fast. If she went to practice sprinting, maybe she would be a good material.
After eating and drinking enough, Lin Wanrong was too lazy to go home. He leaned against the tree trunk, covered his face with a small booklet left over from the sale, and slept soundly.
He didn't know how long he slept, but he suddenly felt an itch in his nostrils. Before he could sneeze, he was already woken up.
Lin Wanrong opened his eyes in a daze. He saw a flower-like face in front of him, looking at him with a smile.
Hey, where did this girl come from? So beautiful. Lin Wanrong yawned, and his mind became clear. He saw that the girl in front of him was holding a small booklet in her hand, looking at him with a smile.
This girl was about sixteen or seventeen years old. Her eyebrows were curved, her eyes were big, her mouth was small, and her face was pink. She wore a yellow satin floral dress and a pair of light red boots. She gave off an unruly aura. Although she was young, her breasts were high and well developed. They were big when they should be big, and small when they should be small. She was a one-in-a-million beauty.
Why does this girl look a little familiar? Lin Wanrong felt a little strange. He was sure that he had never seen her before. He had seen beautiful women, regardless of age, and generally had an impression of them.
Seeing the little girl staring at him, Lin Wanrong didn't think too much. He smiled and said, "This little girl, although I am very tall, handsome, talented, and cute, I will feel embarrassed if you stare at me like this."
The little girl's face turned red. She glared at him fiercely, raised the booklet in her hand and said, "Hey, you brat, did you make up this little booklet?"
The booklet in her hand was raised high. It was the booklet that Lin Wanrong had placed on his face when he was sleeping. He didn't know when the little girl had taken it down.
Lin Wanrong laughed and said, "How about it, little girl, you also want to buy this booklet? Do you have an older brother or cousin in your family? Ai, these guys are so thin-skinned. They can't bear to put down their pride, so they sent you instead. "
The little girl rolled her eyes and said, "That's right, that's right. It was my older brother who sent me. Is the person in the painting Lady Xiao? "
Lin Wanrong nodded and said, "Of course. This is the only copy that was passed down within the Xiao Family. It wasn't easy for me to get it. Ai, I am a soft-hearted person. I can't stand beautiful little girls begging me. Fine, fine. I'll sell it to you at a loss for 15 taels of silver. "
The little girl snorted and said, "You are so dishonest. Hmph, I've been following you for the whole morning. You sell it to others for 10 taels of silver. How come you sell it to me for 15 taels of silver. "
