Chapter 101 Business

Hearing the other person's casual tone, Li Qinghe subconsciously felt that the relationship between this senior Bai and her father might not be so harmonious.

Yes, they definitely don't get along!

There must be some hidden story behind it, otherwise the father and daughter wouldn't be so far apart and never see each other again.

Li Qinghe muttered to himself, took the bundle off his back, and handed it over.

Although the hidden compartment in one's sleeve can store items, one should still keep a low profile when traveling. Such a trick that easily exposes one's vulgarity should not be used in a ostentatious manner.

Bai Jing'er took the bundle.

Among them were many paper-like letters, all soaked in oil to prevent moisture and retain moisture, and a book wrapped tightly in its cover.

Bai Qing'er didn't hide anything and opened the bundle in front of the two of them. She crumpled the letters into balls like trash: "They're probably all written to his mistress. There's nothing to see. The only thing worth reading is this book."

She tore off the cover, revealing the book itself, "Jianbaolu".

"Ha, I knew it was this thing."

Bai Qing'er said with a hint of disdain, slamming the large book on the table and looking at Li Qinghe: "Miss Li, you delivered the items all the way from the North intact, so I owe you a favor. Tell me, what do you want? Think it over carefully, my favors don't come cheap."

Li Qinghe never intended to ask for any reward.

Bai Tieya had done her a great favor by agreeing to fulfill his last wish, which was already a promise he had made previously.

Before she could speak, Jiang Chuling said, "Senior Bai, could you tell us what kinds of jobs are suitable for us in the brokerage business?"

Bai Jing'er glanced at the two of them, a faint smile on her face.

As the manager of the brokerage firm, she knew countless people, and from just a few interactions, she had already grasped about five or six parts of their personalities.

Li Qinghe, who looked older, was obviously more introverted and thin-skinned. Unlike the seasoned veterans who had been through the rough edges of life and whose colors were no longer recognizable, she still carried a touch of innocent naivety.

The younger one was bolder and more worldly, with a stronger personality, but she was led by Li Qinghe.

Two strange little guys.

Bai Qing'er sighed inwardly and said leisurely, "This Shenshui Fang is one of the largest Fang in the eastern suburbs of Jiang'an City. There are a total of five managers in the brokerage."

I deal in ores, pearls, antiques, and some miscellaneous goods.

Think it through. If you want to enter any of these industries, I can arrange it for you.

"Let's discuss this, Senior Bai," Jiang Chuling said, pulling Li Qinghe along.

While the two were discussing, Bai Qing'er took a swig of wine and glanced at the "Jianbaolu" on the desk.

The fact that the other person was able to travel so far to fulfill their father's last wish shows that they are of good character.

As for the path of cultivation.

She could only tell that Li Qinghe was a broker like her and must be looking for business in the brokerage industry. As for Jiang Chuling next to her, she had never used any worldly arts and had no special abilities.

They must have only recently embarked on their spiritual path, making it difficult to discern their true nature.

They were both whole, with no missing limbs, and seemed to be in good spirits; they were two promising candidates for cultivation.

Bai Qing'er gulped down the wine until the gourd was empty before Li Qinghe turned around and said, "Senior Bai, I was originally planning to come to Jiang'an to develop my career and fulfill your father's last wish. It was also because I had promised him in advance. I did not want to ask Senior Bai for a valuable reward."

If Senior Bai could help us find a place to stay, Qinghe would be extremely grateful.

L

The business opportunities Bai Jing'er mentioned were indeed very tempting.

However, after discussing it, both of them felt it was not suitable.

It's not a good thing to get involved in these businesses rashly when you're unfamiliar with the place and the people. It would be better to settle down first and then choose what to do later.

Bai Jing'er smiled and said, "I have a small shell farm in Lengshan Town, east of Shenshuifang. The person who guarded this shell farm went mad after failing to break through. I haven't found any more people yet, so you can go there."

Li Qinghe was somewhat surprised; this reward was far too generous.

"It's nothing. I couldn't find anyone to run this shell farm, and it's been empty all along. It's quiet there, so I'm giving it to you. If you can make the shell farm a success, it will be a valuable asset."

Bai Qing'er made the decision.

Li Qinghe hesitated and said, "Senior Bai, we don't know anything about raising shellfish—"

She had originally planned to find Bai Qing'er a place with a decent environment, since it's almost impossible for outsiders to find suitable housing without being ripped off.

Especially now that the Dragon King Festival is approaching, accommodations are in high demand everywhere, and they might not be able to find one on their own.

This can be considered a small favor within the scope of human relationships.

But now Bai Qing'er has sent a shell field, which is a gift that far exceeds the scope of human sentiment.

This Manager Bai looks like a drunkard and speaks very amiably, but she must have some tricks up her sleeve to be able to sit in the position of the fourth manager.

"In that case, I won't give it to you for nothing."

A shell farm is a place responsible for raising shellfish and making pearls, mainly to cultivate shellfish with spiritual properties that can be used as materials for spiritual practice.

I own more than one pearl farm. Every month, I go to the pearl divers in Hexiafang to buy pearls, spending hundreds of strings of cash.

If less pearls are brought in, the pearl divers will demand even higher prices, making it extremely unprofitable. After all, these guys are running a monopoly, and the pearl brokers can't do anything about it.

All you need to do to run this shellfish farm is pay me ten strings of cash a month for the seeds.

As for the surplus, even for beginners, the monthly income should be enough to cover your daily expenses.

If you don't want to continue, just let me know in advance.

Bai Qing'er stated her request.

After discussing it, the two immediately agreed, considering it a favor they owed Bai Qing'er.

The next step is to obtain the license and sign the contract.

There are many types of ivory tokens, with clear classifications. Naturally, the ivory tokens of high-ranking officials and ordinary people are different.

The tokens that Li Qinghe and Jiang Chuling received were made of sandalwood and bore the official seal and the names of the two people from their hometowns.

Of course, Jiang Chuling's information was fabricated.

However, in this world, there are refugees everywhere, and no one bothers to investigate these things.

After the contract was signed, Bai Qing'er added, "You two are both cultivators, and this token also bears our mark for cultivators, allowing you access to various markets and gathering places frequented by cultivators. If you encounter any problems, come to the pawnshop to find me."

After receiving the tooth token, the two walked onto the street, feeling a sense of relief wash over them, and the bewilderment they had felt upon arriving in Jiang'an vanished.

They received an invitation to the Dragon King Festival, successfully obtained the ivory token, and also found a place to live and a means of making a living.

It's much better than expected.

"Let's go buy some things first, then go to the shellfish farm." Jiang Chuling was already itching to get her hands on the shellfish.

She practiced candle-making techniques on the ship for a long time, but due to the lack of special materials, her progress was slow.

Now that things have settled down, I can focus on practicing worldly arts.
