Chapter 263 Hatred After Humiliation (1)_1
What shameless people. Lin Ziyin finally understood where Li Yanran and Madam You’s confidence came from; turns out the entire master of the Li Residence shares the same characteristics. Even though Li Jieyong hadn’t proposed a collaboration, his purpose for coming was undoubtedly for the silver in her pockets.
Earning silver is truly difficult. If she hadn’t found suitable partners from the very start, she probably wouldn’t have been able to compete against the Li Family today.
"I apologize, Masters Li. The significant business in our family has already been agreed upon with the Prince and the third young master. The smaller businesses don’t earn much silver. We have established these workshops merely to give villagers some extra money. Therefore, I am sorry, but I currently do not have any promising business to collaborate with the two Masters Li. I deeply appreciate your kindness towards me, but I can only accept the goodwill in spirit," Lin Ziyin politely explained, not wanting to cause any offense.
"How can there not be any business?" Li Jiesong said unhappily. "As far as I know, your family’s bean products, soy sauce, and vegetable oil businesses can earn silver fairly quickly, and it seems you don’t have any business partners for those."
Upon hearing this, Jieyong was so embarrassed he wished he could hide his head in his pants. What a disaster, his elder brother was acting like a pighead. It was true that the Lin Family’s businesses were profitable, but that’s exactly why they had earned lots of silver. If the business was doing well, why would they need a business partner?
His statement clearly had the suspicion of robbery. How foolish! Doesn’t he know how to phrase his words more tactfully?
