Chapter 711 - 710: Turn Against Someone
Shopkeeper Wu, who had intended to say something more, came in with the writing brush, ink stone, and ink slab, and arranged them neatly on the table before looking towards Ninth Master Lee.
Ninth Master Lee nodded slightly, "Draft the contract first and let Miss Wang take a look."
Shopkeeper Wu’s pen flew across the paper, swiftly composing the contract. It read: On the specified date of a certain month in a certain year, the Lee Family and Wang Yongzhu established an agreement, by which Wang Yongzhu would sell the Riches Dye Workshop located in a certain place to the Lee Family for a certain amount of silver. Additionally, three thousand bolts of fabric were to be also sold for a certain amount of silver. The total sum of silver was to be fully paid by the Lee Family to Wang Yongzhu upon successful delivery of all the dyed fabric. This document shall serve as evidence!
There were two copies of the document with the amount of silver clearly doubled as proposed by Ninth Master Lee.
Both looked over the contract and, finding no issues, signed their names and affixed their seals, thus finalizing the agreement.
As Wang Yongzhu waited for the ink on the contract to dry, she folded it up and said, "About the dyeing of the fabric, I will need to borrow a few shop assistants from you."
Shopkeeper Wu readily agreed without hesitation.
"And about that shop we talked about last time—" Wang Yongzhu had not finished speaking when Ninth Master Lee slammed the table decisively, "Let’s buy it too!"
Wang Yongzhu, looking at Ninth Master Lee’s attitude of not caring about anything except having plenty of money, quietly turned her head away, "I will keep that shop for myself, to see if I can run some other business to pass the time."
With that plan in mind, there was no need for the Auspicious Dye Workshop to rent a shop; naturally, there were no objections.
Having discussed all the matters, Wang Yongzhu rose to leave, "Then it’s settled. I’ll go back and put things in order, draft a plan. You should hurry and send over some assistants who can dye the fabric, so we can get the fabric dyed and sent back."
