The Strong Female Lead Versus The Most Miserable Male Lead

Chapter 85: Chapter 85 Suppliers
 

In the early morning, the sky was just brightening.

Ha Ha got up the earliest and sniffed around Nian Shutong’s door.

The kind-hearted person had returned, and Ha Ha wanted to work hard.

Luckily, Fu Yunhe didn’t see this, or his suspicion of Ha Ha’s simplicity would have increased even more.

Ha Ha had just left when Nian Shutong and Fu Yunhe almost simultaneously opened their doors and exchanged glances.

“Good morning, beauty.”

“Morning——”

That “morning” somehow made Nian Shutong hear a hint of grievance. What was going on?

“Have you been bullied?”

“Ah…”

With that sigh, it was as if she hadn’t said anything, yet it seemed as though she had said everything.

In the small wooden house with only three people in it, her look of having suffered grievances was definitely related to Ha Ha and Rubble.

“It’s okay, I’m back now, and they wouldn’t dare anymore.” Nian Shutong had a certain understanding of Rubble and Ha Ha.

Fu Yunhe nodded and began to walk outside, with a subtle cheerfulness in his step that went unnoticed, while Nian Shutong also followed him out.

“I found two types of food to debut on the live stream today. I’ll go find some things and, when I return, you can try cooking them.”

“Come back early.” Fu Yunhe was genuinely scared of living without Nian Shutong, feeling as though he had ground his teeth flat.

“Ha Ha Ha Ha! Seeing you like this makes me want to tease you.” Although Nian Shutong was just speaking in jest, Fu Yunhe’s demeanor really did seem… easy to tease.

Fu Yunhe followed up with a reluctant smile, continuing to wash rice. There wasn’t much rice left, so he dumped all the remaining rice into the pot and shook the bag at Nian Shutong.

“I know, there won’t be any food shortages.” Nian Shutong looked at the now-empty pocket, thinking how rapidly they consumed food!

If she didn’t find a way to earn money, she might not even be able to afford her own meals.

Fu Yunhe skillfully steamed the rice and egg custard, adding two pieces of firewood to the stove and said, “You have a message from the Yan Family.”

“The Yan Family?”

Being singled out like this by Fu Yunhe definitely meant it was significant. She took a small stool and sat down to ask, “What’s the deal?”

Fu Yunhe also took a small stool and sat opposite Nian Shutong, beginning to educate her about the major families in the interstellar empire.

“The Royal Family of the interstellar empire is supreme, controlling the Star Network, the military, and the Cultivation Resources; they’re unshakable. Fortunately, the Royal Family is benevolent and fair, ensuring everything is stable.”

“Apart from the Royal Family, the heart of the interstellar has ten zones with Zones 1, 2, and 3 arranged in concentric circles. Zone 1 is in the center, surrounded by Zone 2, followed by Zone 3, while Zones 4 to 10 encircle Zone 3, radiating outwards in a fan shape.”

“In Zone 1, there are five families, each responsible for different sectors: food, drink, clothing, entertainment, and martial matters, corresponding to the five big surnames: Chi, He, Chuan, Yu, and Wu.”

“The message you received belongs to the Yan Family from the Chi Family’s subordinates in Zone 2, a family known for their fine salt production.”

Nian Shutong roughly understood – it was like land division in the Cultivation World. Now, by selling fine salt, she was stepping on other people’s toes.

But she had never thought of monopolizing the market.

“Let me read the message first.”

In front of Fu Yunhe, Nian Shutong opened the message.

The content of the message was simple: they were interested in the fine salt and wanted to arrange a meeting to discuss it.

After reading the message, Nian Shutong inwardly called out to Daodao.

“Daodao! Daodao!”

She called out several times before Daodao responded.

“Master?”

“What are you doing?”

“Heh heh… Daodao is moving things on the Star Network! Do you need something, master?”

Daodao was waiting to surprise Nian Shutong with money earned but had not moved much yet and couldn’t see any effect.

Nian Shutong didn’t specifically ask Daodao what he was doing – one spoils their own child. Instead, she inquired:

“Will the salt drying method be quickly cracked?”

“According to Daodao’s analysis, the interstellar lacks a lot of basic knowledge; it seems the simpler the item, the slower it is to be cracked.”

Nian Shutong understood and told Fu Yunhe, “You go negotiate with the Yan Family. We’ll be the supplier, 100 grams per bag, each bag for 200 Star Coins. It doesn’t matter to us how much they sell it for.”

“Also, everything about the production is up to us to decide; in other words, we sell as much as we want.”

Fu Yunhe didn’t know what Nian Shutong had considered, but to him, it seemed as though she had quickly made a decision.

However, being a supplier was something they could do.

“Alright, I’ll make sure the negotiations go well.” Fu Yunhe stood up, as the meal was nearly ready.

Before he even lifted the lid, Ha Ha had already run back.

Fu Yunhe gave him a look; that nose… was impressive.

The three of them finished breakfast together, and Nian Shutong continued to go out to find some things.

Fu Yunhe, on the other hand, opened the message and started contacting the Yan Family.
