Chapter 140: What were you doing before that?

For the experimental field, the price of sandy land is relatively low; if our experimental field succeeds, the sandy land will skyrocket in price, and many people will follow suit, buying the sandy land beside ours. Kang Zhi Chun smiled, her voice carrying a certain magic, unhurried, as if she had her own rhythm, making people unconsciously convinced.

Why don't we take this opportunity to acquire more sandy land?

If that's the case, once our new breed is cultivated, the value of any land we hold will rise.

After she finished speaking, she raised her head and looked at the dean opposite her.

Jiang Yunchu tapped the tabletop, looking at the eager eyes of the little ones, but……

It was destined to disappoint them.

"What if the new breed fails? Can you bear the consequences?" she asked softly.

Those children over there obviously hadn't considered this issue.

Just then, Ning Hanmo suddenly spoke up, "I want to cooperate with the dean and share the risk."

Share the risk!

Jiang Yunchu looked at them and said, "I have money, land, and people; then…… what can you provide me?"

If you want to share the risk and cooperate with me, you need to show your sincerity.

Her words rang out like metal striking stone; she looked at the children with a furrowed brow.

Qing Feng Da Ru's temper flared again; just as he was about to speak, Kang Mengxian covered his mouth.

At this moment, we can't let this old fool interrupt and cause trouble.

Otherwise, these kids would fail immediately because of him, this pig of a teammate, and lose their qualification to negotiate.

How about we pool our funds collectively, and later split any dividends equally?

Kang Wu proposed, saying.

But……

As expected, the dean shook his head again: "Sandy land is everywhere; anyone can make fertile soil, but……"

I am offering a new seedling cultivation technique, and a new breed.

My technique probably can't be compared to these sandy lands or these fertilizers, right?

If you want to come in, you must show your sincerity, not try to take advantage of me here; then I……

I can withdraw my investment!

Another heavy blow.

The little ones whispered to each other, but Jiang Yunchu seemed unfazed, sipping her now-cold tea, watching the group of little ones with a serious expression.

To be honest, their performance today surprised me somewhat.

Ning Hanmo furrowed his brows, "We can split fifty percent for technical fees and the remaining fifty percent as pure profit, a fifty-fifty split, but you must invest another fifty taels of silver to purchase the sandy land."

Is this the result of your joint discussion?" Jiang Yunchu asked.

Those five people nodded together, but just then Jiang Yunchu said, "A team either needs a lead sheep, and everyone can be trustworthy."

Or else, you must first gain everyone's approval before coming to talk to me, understand?

As she asked, she lifted her head.

But……

At this moment, Kang Ziwei knocked on the door: "No need to discuss further; we fully trust Ning Hanmo, we acknowledge all his decisions, and we will share responsibility together!"

Her words rang out like metal striking stone.

Outside, a group of little radish heads all smiled and nodded.

Jiang Yunchu looked at the few people, raised her eyebrows, then stood up and instinctively extended a hand toward Ning Hanmo.

With her hand positioned underneath, Ning Hanmo placed his hand on top.

Winning this negotiation isn't because you are strong or because your conditions are excellent; I had no other choice.

But because you are united enough, I saw the team's joint cooperation and saw your future potential.

This is fifty taels of silver; I hope you won't disappoint me.

After saying that, she released her hand and then placed the silver into Ning Hanmo's hand.

All the children couldn't help but jump up.

They actually won.

They reached an agreement.

Previously, Jiang Yunchu gave fifty taels of silver; now she gives another fifty taels, making a total of one hundred taels.

"Ahhh!" Kang Zhi Xia waved her fists, continuously expressing her joy.

Some of the little ones have introverted personalities, yet their slightly flushed faces make them seem so excited.

Congratulations, but…… don't get too excited too soon. After watching the people become excited and then regain composure, Jiang Yunchu finally spoke.

My demands are strict; I need daily reports and need to see the ledger for every silver coin spent. Now she is a merchant, not a mother, not an older sister.

Having invested silver, she needs to see where it was spent and what effects it will have later.

Her position, as a neutral investor, is the fairest toward these little ones.

Yes, I guarantee to complete the task." Ning Hanmo straightened his body; his face still bore the recent flush of excitement, his eyes sparkling brightly, as if harboring tens of thousands of troops, or like a spirit fallen into the mortal realm.

Alright, you may leave now." Jiang Yunchu smiled at them as they departed amid cheerful chatter.

The three scholar gentlemen all looked at her, as if she were a monster.

Qing Feng Da Ru, let's continue chatting." Jiang Yunchu said with a cheerful laugh.

Qing Feng Da Ru's temper had been suppressed, though his brows remained furrowed.

Kang Mengxian and Ningguang also sat to one side.

Why not let them study? Look at their talent, look at their spiritual energy—isn't studying good? Their path is broad; those few children will surely have their names on the imperial examination road." Qing Feng Da Ru spoke with increasing gravity, even tinged with frustration at their lack of effort.

Jiang Yunchu smiled and pushed her tea cup a little farther away.

Then, looking at Qing Feng Da Ru, 'Oh? Which child?'

Her clear, light voice made Kang Mengxian and Ningguang exchange a glance, directly not good.

Every time her voice was like that, it represented……

She was about to become Jiang Duiduo!

'Ning Hanmo!' Qing Feng Da Ru spoke up directly.

Jiang Yunchu chuckled, her voice a bit cold: 'Ning Hanmo ah, he has spiritual aura, on the imperial examination road his name will surely appear.'

'Then why did the Qing feng Institute back then reject him at the door?'

'I have learned it well here; I will teach you on the road, you just watch.'

'Before that, what were you doing?'

Her smile was too gentle, not even a single dirty word; every sentence struck at the heart!

Kang Mengxian and Ningguang exchanged glances; indeed, Jiang Duiduo came online.

Qing Feng Da Ru was stuck in place, his face flushed red; only now did he recall that when Ning Hanmo had gone to the Qing feng Institute before, he had been rejected.

'Oh, Ning Qiancheng, also one of the five great playboys, was also rejected by the Qing feng Institute.'
