Chapter 531: What Else Should I Do? Cry?
Then, they heard Liu Duo say, “Oh, Liuzi, you’re back. Just in time. Mr Dongfang has something to discuss with you.”
Dongfang Ming merely smiled at Liu Duo when she said so.
Because of that, Ye Mo loathed him even more. She was his wife; what was this man staring at!?
“And what does Brother Dongfang have to discuss with me? Hold on though, wait a moment.” Ye Liu smiled obligingly at him while he unloaded the tomatoes.
Dongfang Ming nodded. “Just a small matter. You can finish your work first, there’s no rush.”
Then he went back and sat down in his original spot.
Liu Duo came to the table and poured three bowls of water. “There’s fruit here, do help yourself.”
She even smiled at Dongfang Ming.
Ye Mo, who noticed her little action, became very cross and shouted, “Wife, pour us some water! Didn’t you see we just came back? We’re thirsty, are you blind?”
“What are you shouting for? Can’t you see that’s what I’m doing? My lord!” She looked up at him and rolled her eyes.
Pffft. Dongfang Ming let out a laugh but he covered his face with his folding fan. He found their communication a bit hilarious!
Liu Duo cast a glance at him, wondering what it was that he found funny.
She took three bowls filled with water and walked towards Ye Liu and the men.
Ye Liu went ahead and helped her pass one bowl to Li Wazi. It’s easy to cause an accident by holding three bowls in two hands.
“Thanks, Liu. Thanks, Sister Duo.” Li Wazi expressed his gratitude honestly and drank it all up.
There were two bowls left, one each for Ye Liu and Ye Mo, both of whom also drank the water in one swift motion.
Ye Mo approached Liu Duo and whispered to her, “Don’t smile at Dongfang Ming that much, you hear me!”
Liu Duo glanced at his proud face. “What else should I do? Cry?”
He was the guest here and, no matter how much she didn’t like it, she couldn’t possibly let it show, right? Furthermore, they were business partners.
“I didn’t say you should cry. Just don’t smile at him!”
“…” Liu Duo couldn’t bother with him. Mr. Immature must be jealous.
She took back their empty bowls and went back inside the house. She exchanged some words with Dongfang Ming, and this caused Ye Mo’s brows to become locked in place for a long time.
After unloading the tomatoes, the men went to wash their faces by the well before coming inside to rest.
“So, Brother Dongfang, why were you looking for me? Go on.” Ye Liu sat on a stool and started chewing on a piece of fruit.
Dongfang Ming kept his folding fan and turned to look at him. “I have a business proposal for you, Brother Ye, and I’d like your opinion.”
He repeated everything to him that he had previously told Liu Duo.
After he was finished, Ye Liu wasn’t in a rush to reply. He threw the kernel into a nearby basket and said, “Brother Dongfang, if it’s the frozen fruit salad you mean, I’m willing to work with you and sell it in large quantities. But not the tomato sauce. You know business is all about integrity, and I have signed a contract with a restaurant in town. I’ll only supply to them. I’m afraid I can’t work with you on this.”
He didn’t regret signing the contract in the first place. Integrity was priceless, and if he lost it, he wouldn’t get it back no matter how hard he tried.
For another thing, in the contract, Ye Liu would be taking the larger portion. So even if Dongfang Ming’s shops were located in many places and he would earn a lot more by working with him, he was not that greedy.
Ye Mo, on the other hand, didn’t at all want to extend more partnerships to him. Because he didn’t like the man. He had a feeling that Dongfang Ming seemed to look at Liu Duo the way a man would at a woman he was greatly interested in.
