Chapter 1653

"I guarantee on my own personal integrity that your interests will absolutely be protected."

"Mm, that's fine. Take a look at the list for me first and give me some advice."

"Okay!"

Shopkeeper Wanyan immediately began examining it seriously.

After a moment, she offered her opinion.

"Miss Zhao Si, the quantities are indeed fine, but the Angel Bloodline may really be impossible to find. You should consider it carefully.

"Attribute Jade may not be that easy to source in such numbers—lowering it to 5 would be more reasonable. The Mystic Maiden Ruler fragments are also a bit too many; 5 would be appropriate as well.

"These three items carry risk, and you may lose the corresponding information service fee. Of course, if you're willing, we can give it a try.

"The rest should be fine.

"But let me remind you once again—if those three items can't be found, or can't be found in full, you could lose over a thousand gold coins. Can you accept that?"

Zhao Chi had long been mentally prepared.

The loss was indeed substantial, but he could bear it.

It was nothing.

"That's fine, I can accept it."

"Then you'll need to pay 25,560 gold coins in advance. Is that acceptable?"

"Mm, that's fine. Help me set a price ceiling—no more than 200% of the goods' value."

Shopkeeper Wanyan hesitated, then said, "Wouldn't a 200% price ceiling be a bit high? I'd suggest setting it at around 150%."

She really did look out for her clients.

But Zhao Chi didn't care.

He still felt it was worth spending a bit more to acquire the scarce items, even at twice the market price.

"It's fine, Wanyan. Just set it at 200%."

"... Understood."

"But if the Angel Bloodline ultimately can't be found, the 10% transport fee and 2% procurement service fee will still be refunded, right?"

"Of course. They can also be directly credited toward the goods payment. The same applies to the other items—if we ultimately can't source them, they can all be handled this way."

"Then there's no problem. Draw up the contract for me. How long will it take?"

Shopkeeper Wanyan said, "We have ready-made contract templates. I just need to fill in your list. It'll only take 3 minutes."

"Alright, draw it up."

"Mm!"

Shopkeeper Wanyan happily began working on it.

The mature thirty-year-old woman was smiling like an eighteen-year-old girl.

After all, this was a big order.

Just as she had said, the agreement was completed very quickly. It hadn't even taken 3 minutes—barely a minute at most.

"Ms. Zhao Si, please take a look at this agreement. I made it using the Super VIP contract template, and every clause is absolutely fair."

"Alright."

Zhao Chi read through it carefully.

There were many clauses, defining the rights and obligations of both parties.

Zhao Chi read through them all. Indeed, just as Shopkeeper Wanyan had said, the terms were very fair—much better than ordinary contract terms.

All of Zhao Chi's commissioned product information was correct as well.

The price was also capped within the 200% range.

While Zhao Chi was reading, Gu Qing was reading too.

Zhao Chi 【How does it look, Gu Qing? Any risks?】

Gu Qing 【None. This contract is really quite lenient on us. Worthy of Super VIP treatment.】

Zhao Chi 【Then I'm relieved.】

Gu Qing 【Do you want this woman? She's not bad looking—soft and pretty type.】

Zhao Chi 【You... I'm not some sex maniac. How could I want every woman I see?】

Gu Qing 【Really? Every night I feel like you do, hehe.】

Zhao Chi 【That's only toward you. I'm not like that with others.】

Gu Qing 【But you've signed such a huge order. As a female salesperson, wouldn't Wanyan owe you a few nights for an amount like this? She just said it would fulfill her business quota for the next two years.】

Zhao Chi 【No need. Having you all in that regard is already more than enough for me. I don't need to seek it from other women.】

Gu Qing 【Of course that's not the only reason. She's a merchant. Taking her in would be very helpful for your future purchases of all kinds of supplies.】

Zhao Chi 【... It doesn't matter. Money works the same way.】

Gu Qing 【Alright... she is a bit older. If you're not interested... I'll look for some young misses aged 18-20 for you in the future, but finding a merchant leader that young might be difficult.】

Zhao Chi 【Gu Qing, stop messing around. If there's no problem, I'll sign the contract with her now—of course, using your identity information.】

Gu Qing 【Mm, go ahead and sign. No problem.】

Zhao Chi said, "No problem, Wanyan. How do I sign?"

Shopkeeper Wanyan said happily, "I'll initiate the process. You just need to confirm it in the system."

"Understood. Go ahead."

"Mm~"

Soon, Zhao Chi received the contract signing process.

Shopkeeper Wanyan had already signed. On her side, the two names signed were "Ruby Chamber of Commerce, Apparel Department" and "Senior Customer Service Manager: Yin Wanyan."

On their own side, besides their own name, they could also sign the name of a faction.

That way, it would certainly be more guaranteed than Zhao Chi signing it himself.

But Zhao Chi was only a low-ranking team member, with no qualification to represent the World-Breaking Army.

Li Ruanyu, on the other hand, could sign under the name of "World-Breaking Army Jade Squadron."

But forget it.

Zhao Chi's side would only sign one person's name.

Zhao Chi 【Gu Qing, you sign it】

Gu Qing 【Understood】

Although the two were now one body, in practice they were still using two separate systems.

But any message Shopkeeper Wanyan sent could be seen by both of them.

Soon, Gu Qing finished signing according to the prompts.

The contract officially took effect.

Shopkeeper Wanyan suddenly let out an "Eh?"

Then she looked up at Gu Qing in astonishment.

Then she looked at the system again.

Then her eyes darted around and she said: "Um… Young Lady Zhao Si, please rest assured, I will keep all your information confidential here, no one knows you are… please trust me!"

The identity information on the contract Gu Qing signed was naturally "Gu Qing," not some Zhao Si.

Shopkeeper Wanyan, seeing this, quickly realized that "Zhao Si" was only a fake name.

But she was well experienced, and of course understood the situation, so she hastened to declare her attitude.

Moreover, at present, only Shopkeeper Wanyan knew that Gu Qing was Zhao Si.

However, she only knew the name, not the appearance.

Zhao Chi nodded: "Good, I trust you. I'll keep having big orders coming in later. As long as our cooperation goes well, I won't switch to someone else. You understand?"

Shopkeeper Wanyan hurriedly nodded: "Understood, of course I understand, please rest assured. Our Ruby Chamber of Commerce also has an internal confidentiality mechanism. You are my client; no one else can take the information away."

She anxiously declared her sincerity.

Zhao Chi nodded: "The contract is signed. I can use fashion items as collateral for the payment, right?"

Shopkeeper Wanyan smiled: "Of course. If you use fashion items as collateral, I won't have to go running around looking for money, and it'll actually save me trouble."

"Got it. I'll go prepare. I'm not sure of the exact timing, but it definitely won't be too long — tomorrow or the day after are both possible."

"Ah? Oh, alright, of course that's no problem. Then I'll be ready to welcome you at any time."

"Then I'll be going now."

"Eh? Won't you stay for a bit?"
