Please, come in and have some tea.\" Hun Xiong Kun stopped what he was doing and welcomed them warmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The staff of Hun Xiong Kun quickly placed the teacup and poured the tea from the teapot for the guests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan Qi nodded and sat down with Lee He Song.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m here to negotiate the deal.\" He said and took a sip from the teacup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Negotiate...I’m afraid I might not be able to offer more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The people from Lee Zhen Ren had forced me to deliver the rice needed without any deposit or payments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And they will only pay after I deliver the remaining thousand kilograms of rice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They are...\" Hun Xiong Kun gave out a long sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then that’s great.\" Lin Xuan Qi nodded his head and said, \"I’m here to tell you that I can supply you with fifty kilograms of rice daily from today onwards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That should help you fulfill the delivery to Lee Zhen Ren at the end of the month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And since it’s double of what we’ve agreed upon, I would like to get double of what was promised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hun Xiong Kun couldn’t believe it when he heard Lin Xuan Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stood up and gave him a bow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thanks!

Get Zhi Yong here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhi Yong was the name he had given to the tall and burly young man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His staff quickly turned around and swarmed Zhi Yong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhi Yong didn’t know how to respond, and he just scratched his head, giving out a sheepish smile to the staff coming to get him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan Qi stood up and nodded at Zhi Yong when he came over to where Lin Xuan Qi was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Will you be willing to join my mansion?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We provide lodging and food every day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The only work would be for you to be involved with heavy lifting work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And don’t worry, I’ve asked Master Hun, and he has no objections to it.\" Lin Xuan Qi said and explained the situation to Zhi Yong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhi Yong gave Lin Xuan Qi his sheepish smile and continued to scratch his head.\u003C\u002Fp>",1030,"2026-06-03T13:58:56.692Z",1,"novelbin.me","beb125a66c51aa165ce36aef24079a3c763471f46a80642360023863f706f385","clan-prosperity-starting-with-my-servant-girls-chapter-32","clan-prosperity-starting-with-my-servant-girls-chapter-30",469,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fclan-prosperity-starting-with-my-servant-girls-cover.jpg"]
