Ye Liu arrived at the first floor and saw Ye Mo outside the shop. He went to pat him on the shoulder.
“Mo, come upstairs with me.”
Liu Duo had not come down, yet he was invited to go up. Ye Mo got more annoyed than ever. “Why should I go up? I don’t have the money to buy new clothes for her.”
“Not that. She knows we don’t have money. There’s some business to take care of. Come on. Don’t let them wait too long,” Ye Liu said as he pushed his brother along.
In the room on the second floor, Liu Duo had been telling Qin Fang, “When summer comes, we can draw cute pictures on the fans. It doesn’t necessarily have to be mountains and rivers. They’re boring.”
“By then, leave all the drawing to me. I will provide fresh new drawings every two weeks or every month, so that customers will visit us often.”
“Alright. It looks like cooperation with you would bring good business into the shop, and maybe we’d even become famous!” Just dreaming about it had Qin Fang grinning from ear to ear.
On the second floor, Ye Liu led Ye Mo directly into the room and sat him down.
He brought over the contract, made and signed by Qin Fang, for Ye Mo to take a look.
Ye Mo looked at the contract, disbelief spread across his face as he stared at Liu Duo. How could she……
“What? Is there a problem? If not, let me sign it,” Liu Duo, still angry at him, was not taking him kindly.
“Mo, is everything alright?” Ye Liu slightly pushed him.
Qin Fang was not rushing, merely looking on at them with a smile. Little Duo seemed to have some discontentment with this husband, yet she had taken a liking to Ye Liu.
This one that came after had bruises on his face. Could he, like concubines in a rich family, have been fighting for favours?
Liu Duo stretched a hand out to take the contract Ye Mo was holding, but he refused to give it to her and said coolly, “Even if there are no problems, why should I give it to you? Do you even know how to sign your name?”
He was surprised. She was not here to buy clothes, but to discuss business, and had struck a twenty-eighty deal.
“Of course I…” The words hung on her tongue. She did not want them to suspect. Illiterate people should not know how to write either.
She got so mad that there was nothing she could say. She huffed her cheeks and glared at Ye Mo.
Ye Mo saw Liu Duo’s reactions and felt that he had won for once. “True, there are no problems, but nothing is mentioned about the price, how do we calculate the dividends then?”
True indeed. If not written clearly, the shop could sell one for fifty wen, yet charge them twenty wen, and after the twenty-eighty split, wouldn’t they lose out?
Right, why didn’t she think of this! She looked Ye Mo in the eye and couldn’t believe that this psychopathic maniac actually had some brains!
Qin Fang was surprised to hear that too. She had truly forgotten to list the price. “A mistake on my part, Little Duo. How much do you think we can sell these for?”
Liu Duo pursed her lips and thought, “Let’s do it this way, Miss Fang. We don’t have to list the price yet. After we complete the products, we can decide then. I believe Miss Fang would not go back on her word. Otherwise, I’ll only lose out once.”
“Of course. Since Little Duo trusts me so much, I won’t back out on her,” Qin Fang said frankly. Businesses want to maintain long-term profits. She was not an idiot.
“Alright, time to sign,” she went to pick up the brush.
Suddenly Ye Mo grabbed her hand and wrapped it around his, holding the brush, “Here, I’ll teach you how to write your name and take your fingermark.”
Liu Duo’s hand shook, oh dear. Is he taking advantage of me? I know how to write, I don’t need your help.
She rolled her eyes in annoyance, but this was inevitable. She let him have his way, as he wrote her name down,
