Chapter 1673: I Won’t Tell Him If You Won’t
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The Zhu family in YN had become part of history. General Min Pang had sold Zhu Jiu’s villa that he had lived in for many years. The new owner had even changed its name.
Ruan Yongjun told Jiang Yao that General Min Pang had relied on Zhu Jiu’s money to strengthen his own army—from a poor general, he quickly became wealthy. He had become a rich general who owned several mines.
When their family in YN fell, the Zhu family in Ping City had only little to their name. Their development had always been in YN. Ruan Yongjun said, “The Zhu family had lost everything. General Min Pang had taken over most of their stuff. When will Young Master Lu finish his training? Please tell him to send me some tea if he wants to reward me. General Min Pang almost finished my stash. I hid some in my room to keep them safe.”
Jiang Yao immediately burst into laughter. “He will probably be done by the end of August or September. No need to wait for him. I’ll send some to you tomorrow. Please tell me what kind of tea you like.”
Ruan Yongjun thought about it for a moment and said, “Director Jiang, why don’t you send me some of those you know. Maybe ten packs of some ordinary tea. I’ve heard about tea that people use to make their feet soft. Those should be pretty cheap, right? Perhaps ten packs of those?”
“You want to soak your feet?” Jiang Yao asked.
Ruan Yongjun said, “I’ll put them in some beautiful and exquisite jars and display them in a more conspicuous place in my house. I won’t mind it if General Min Pang asks for them. I suspect that his ancestors must have been bandits.”
Jiang Yao laughed until her stomach hurt. “Ruan Yongjun, you dare to give him tea meant for soaking your feet? You are too bold!”
Ruan Yongjun snorted. “I won’t tell him about it if you won’t. He might not like the taste, but that’s even better. He won’t want more of my tea next time.”
“Don’t forget that our countries are currently establis.h.i.+ng cooperative development on tea leaves. The Tea Chamber of Commerce has already been established. Do you think General Min Pang will not know about the tea that’s meant for feet? Since he’s a general, you should bear with it.”
“I can’t. The next time he comes here, I will request that he exchange my tea with a raw jade stone. Otherwise, I’ll suffer a huge loss.” Ruan Yongjun hung up the phone after that.
Jiang Yao was not worried that Ruan Yongjun would anger General Min Pang. Obviously, she could still hear the familiarity between Ruan Yongjun and General Min Pang from his tone.
Jiang Yao did another thing before she left for Province A. She told Manager Sun to inspect a few small pharmaceutical factories and then purchased one of them.
Changkang Group needed time to build their pharmaceutical factory. Jiang Yao wanted to buy it so that she could be responsible for the production line.
The pharmaceutical factory had not officially gone into production, but the anti-stress drug advertis.e.m.e.nts had spread to many cities.
