"Boss, even if you get this hundred taels for free, if I am willing to spend some time, I can find out where the oil factory is. By then, you will get nothing, let alone the hundred taels."

Shen Li also understood that doing so might not be a good idea. She had not inquired about the oil refinery before because she was thinking of asking Qin Yu for help. But now their relationship was awkward, and she could only do it herself. But it would take time, and she didn't want to delay. If she could spend one hundred taels and save time, it would be worth it.

"Boss Shen, aren't you making things difficult for me? You said that after you knew about this, you would definitely not come to me to buy oil again. How much would I lose?"

"Boss, we are both businessmen. Even if you don't tell me, the result will be the same for you. I can still buy cooking oil from you even if I don't buy tea oil. There are so many people eating in our workshop, and we need a lot. Just consider it as doing me a favor."

The shopkeeper also knew the result, and he couldn't change it: "Alas! This was indeed sent to me by the tea oil factory, but I haven't been there. I heard it is on a mountain in Lingshan County."

When Shen Li heard this, she realized that Lingshan County was far from the provincial capital. She looked at the shopkeeper, who not only told her the location but also said nothing unpleasant, and said, "Shopkeeper, if you can give me 150 coins per pound, I will continue to buy from you in the future."

She estimated that if she negotiated with the tea oil factory in person, the price couldn't be too low. This price was not much different. If the shopkeeper could accept it, he would definitely be able to make a little money. She used a large quantity, so it was a case of small profits but quick turnover.

really.

"Okay, Manager Shen is quite open-minded. I'll give it to you at this price from now on."

Seeing that he didn't have any hesitation, Shen Li agreed. She knew that there must be some profit to be made, but her price could save her a lot of money in the future.

Now that her family is big and she has a lot of people to support, the lower the cost the better.

"It's a pleasure for the shopkeeper, so it's settled then."

After leaving the oil shop, Shen Li and Luo Qi went to the workshop, explained the matter to Wu Zhong, and then returned home.

The next day, Huaxian Ice Museum.

Shen Li looked at Lin Xuan who was sitting opposite her. He was still so elegant and refined, which really made her, a woman, feel inferior to him.

"Shopkeeper Shen, it's been a long time since we last met." After Lin Xuan said this, he poured a cup of tea for Shen Li.

Shen Li naturally didn't drink: "Yeah, I wonder how Shopkeeper Lin's business is going?"

"Not bad. Thanks to you, my Ice Skin Shop is now the undisputed number one rouge shop in Hua County."

Shen Li smiled and said, "Manager Lin, Hua County is still too small. You are a capable person. Have you ever thought about leaving here and developing in a bigger place?"

"I thought you came here suddenly, there must be something going on. It turns out you want me to work for you. I heard that you are doing very well in the state capital and your business is very big, but I am a lazy person and I really don't want to move."

Shen Li stroked the rim of the cup with her fingers, thinking about how to convince him. She just felt that he was a useful person. She was not short of people to do the work, but she was very short of a leader, that is, someone who could stand on her own like Li Daya.

Now she can lead people to develop a prefecture, but with only two of them, it is too slow. There are six prefectures in the south alone. With her and Li Daya, how long will it take to make the ointment business as good as that of Xiezhou Prefecture?

So she needs such talents.

And Lin Xuan definitely has this ability. In Shen Li's expectation, his ability may be much stronger than Li Daya.

"Manager Lin, do you have any concerns?"

"Although Hua County is small, it has beautiful scenery. Besides, I can run a small rouge shop and I am free. If I go to your place and work for you, I will definitely encounter troubles. Also, you probably have a lot of secrets that you don't want others to know. If I go there, I will definitely be restricted a lot. It's not as comfortable as staying here."

Shen Li had always known that he was a sensible man. Money could not impress such a man, but she didn't know him well, so she really didn't know where to start.

"Manager Lin, please consider it. I really want to hire you. To be honest, my perfume business has no room for development in Xiezhou Prefecture. I will soon expand to the neighboring prefectures. If you can come and help me, you can ask for anything you need."

Lin Xuan chuckled and took a sip of tea: "Manager Shen, I know your sincerity, but I..."

Shen Li interrupted him: "Are you really willing to be the owner of a rouge shop here for the rest of your life? Let me put it this way, my perfume business will definitely not only be in the southern prefectures in the future, but also in the northern prefectures and Kyoto. I will develop them one by one. If Shopkeeper Lin still has great ambitions, isn't it a good opportunity for you to come and help me? I hope you will reconsider it."

In fact, she guessed that someone like Lin Xuan could not have been born in Hua County. He was most likely from a large family or a wealthy family. However, something might have happened that made him stay in Hua County, just like Nian Xiucheng, who also lived in seclusion in a small county town.

Lin Xuan was silent this time.

Shen Li waited for his answer anxiously.

"Manager Shen, you came too suddenly. I need to think about it carefully."

Consider? There is still a chance. At this point, Shen Li couldn't say anything else, so she smiled and said, "Okay, I will be away for a while. If Shopkeeper Lin has made up his mind, you can go directly to the Shen's Fragrance Shop in the state capital and find Li Erya. She will make the arrangements."

"okay, I get it."

Seeing that he seemed a little absent-minded, Shen Li stood up and said, "Then I'll leave first. I hope that Manager Lin will have a good outcome."

"Manager Shen, I didn't expect that you have such great ambitions at such a young age. Do you want to expand your business and replace the richest family in our dynasty, the Jin family?"

Even the Jin family knew about it. Shen Li felt that his guess was probably correct. This Lin Xuan must be someone with a good background: "Who knows? If he develops well, it may not be impossible."

Lin Xuan laughed loudly: "Okay, okay."

Shen Li saw him laugh twice, and then left in confusion. She didn't know whether this man was laughing at her naivety or something else.

After returning home, Shen Li thought about it and felt that everything had been arranged except for the last thing.

So he called Luo Qi.

"Miss, what's the matter?"

"Luo Qi, how are the four people you taught doing with their martial arts training?"

"Not bad. They have made great progress. It won't be a problem for them to deal with people who know some boxing and kicking."

"Well, you pick two people to go on a long journey with us. As for the two people left behind, you need to tell them to protect the people in the mansion." Shen Li originally planned to let two people follow Li Daya so that they could help her and protect her.
