Although the Ma family helped Chen Nan find the ten-thousand-year-old Dragon Coiling Ginseng.
Chen Nan had never promised any special favors to the Ma family.
Even if there were special favors.
It would only be a more stringent inspection of the goods on their ships.
How to put it…
He had to live up to the official uniform he wore!
After leaving the Water Transport Department.
Chen Nan headed straight for the Xia family.
Ever since his return from the Fire God Sect last time.
He had been refining pills and cultivating.
It had been a long time since he had seen Xia Youwei and Xia Hou.
It was only right to visit them this time.
At the same time, Chen Nan also learned that penicillin had become widely available in Tongcheng.
The Xia family had set up several large cultivation bases.
They extracted a large amount of penicillin.
Of course.
They also made a lot of money.
According to Xia Hou, they could earn over one hundred thousand taels a day.
This was still the welfare price for the people of Tongcheng.
Yes, the selling price of their penicillin was very low.
This was considered to be providing benefits for the people of Tongcheng.
But if the penicillin were to be transported to other prefectures.
The price would at least increase tenfold.
In other words.
Based on the current extraction speed.
The daily revenue would be over a million.
Xia Hou was not satisfied with this situation; he was expanding his scale and production.
A daily income of one million was far from enough to satisfy him.
He wanted a daily income of ten million taels of silver.
Regarding his father-in-law's almost fanatical state.
Chen Nan… was genuinely happy from the bottom of his heart.
Anyway, we would split the profits fifty-fifty.
The more obsessed he was with making money.
The more he would give me.
Could this be the joy of a capitalist? kan.shuwu.xià
------
After bidding farewell to the Xia family.
Chen Nan returned home.
Leng Qingmei had been living here all along.
Because Chen Nan was away during this period.
She was too bored alone.
So she had called the four maids, Mei, Lan, Zhu, and Ju, over.
This way, it would at least be livelier.
Although she could have returned to the Leng family.
But if she had gone back, she would not have been able to see Chen Nan the moment he returned.
Just as Leng Qingmei was sitting in the courtyard, drinking tea and admiring the moon.
Chen Nan came into view.
She was overjoyed, quickly got up, and threw herself into his arms: "Husband, you're finally back!"
Although Chen Nan had not said what he was going to do before he left.
She had been worried the whole time.
"Is everything well at home?" Chen Nan held the woman in his arms, smelled her fragrance, and a sense of bitterness rose in his heart.
He and Leng Qingmei had too many emotional entanglements.
There was love, there was hate.
To put it plainly, this was a fated relationship of ill repute!
Before Leng Qingmei could speak.
Chun Mei's voice rang out, she sighed softly, with a hint of helplessness in her tone: "Young Madam, everything is fine at home, it's just that my young lady is sick."
Chen Nan quickly looked at Leng Qingmei: "You're sick? What kind of sickness? Is it serious?"
Chun Mei smiled and teased: "A lovesickness that makes one unable to sleep at night and unable to taste food!"
As soon as she said this.
The other three personal maids also burst into laughter.
Leng Qingmei's face turned red, and she glared at the maids with anger: "Do you believe I'll have Guo Yu deal with you right now?"
Hearing this.
Guo Yu's eyes lit up: "There's such a good thing?"
The four maids quickly stopped their playful banter.
They knelt on the ground, their eyes filled with terror: "Young Madam, we were wrong, we were wrong, please don't give us to Guo Yu!"
Guo Yu looked stunned.
Am I so unpopular with women?
Chen Nan also showed surprise.
Guo Yu's appearance was not bad.
If the full score was one hundred points, he would definitely reach seventy points.
But why did so many women reject him?
Was it because he himself was too outstanding and overshadowed all of his brilliance?
Even so, it shouldn't be so exaggerated, right?
"Husband, you must be tired?"
"Come, I'll give you a massage." Leng Qingmei took Chen Nan's arm and walked towards the bedroom.
As for whether this massage was proper or not.
Chen Nan probably knew best.
The four maids, Mei, Lan, Zhu, and Ju, also left the courtyard.
Only Guo Yu was left standing there foolishly.
Diting, seeing this, sighed lightly and comforted him: "Don't be discouraged because these four maids don't like you, because there are countless women in the world."
"One day you will discover…"
"They all dislike you!"
Guo Yu thought Diting was comforting him, but when he heard the end, he realized it wasn't quite like that, which made him feel even more wronged: "Can't you say something comforting?"
Diting hesitated for a moment. He felt that given their relationship, it was necessary to comfort Guo Yu.
He said softly: "Even though Mei, Lan, Zhu, and Ju don't like you."
"But you still have to work hard, you have to prove to those women who look down on you."
"No matter how hard you try, they won't like you!"
Guo Yu's eyes welled up with tears: "Do you have to speak so cuttingly?"
Diting stood up, extended a paw, and patted Guo Yu's shoulder: "Brother, cheer up, you'll find that there's a new blow every day."
Saying this, he ignored Guo Yu and scurried into a side room.
He wasn't intentionally trying to depress Guo Yu.
But Guo Yu was not Guo Yu.
Some things would gradually surface with the passage of time.
For example… who is Guo Yu?
The next day.
Chen Nan opened his sleepy eyes amidst a warm embrace.
He hadn't expected that.
Leng Qingmei, without his consent.
Had treated him as a White Dragon Horse.
As expected of Master Lan.
He sure knows how to play~~~
------
After breakfast.
Chen Nan went to the county office.
Tonight was the first ship passage of the water transport terminal.
It was a very grand occasion.
Although he was the supervisor of the Water Transport Department.
He still had to invite Han Zongyuan to attend the ship passage ceremony.
"After not seeing you for so long, I never expected your cultivation to reach the eighth level of the Transformation Realm!" Upon sensing Chen Nan's aura, Han Zongyuan felt as if he had seen a divine being.
Chen Nan said politely: "Good luck, good luck."
"Luck is also a symbol of strength!" Han Zongyuan smiled and said, "You may withdraw now. I will go to the water transport terminal this evening to attend the ship passage ceremony!"
"Your subordinate takes his leave!" Chen Nan bowed and retreated.
Although they were both fifth-level Yin Messengers.
The position of county magistrate, as well as his authority, were higher than that of the supervisor of the water transport terminal.
It was not improper for him to address Chen Nan as his subordinate.
As he watched Chen Nan's retreating back.
Han Zongyuan's heart was filled with anticipation.
Fifth Brother's talent was extraordinary.
Coupled with the opportunity he received from the Fire God Sect.
And Diting, the divine beast of the underworld.
Plus fragments of spatial laws.
He would become a super expert in no time.
At that time, he would very likely fulfill the ultimate dream of the Anti-Heaven Cult.
"The time is almost ripe!"
"We can start the next step of the plan!"
He wanted to help Chen Nan overthrow the Ma family and cast them into the abyss.
Then send him to Guangling Prefecture for official duty.
Because only by going to Guangling Prefecture.
Would he have one foot in Fengdu City.
And Fengdu City was the symbol of power and authority.
Thinking of this.
He took out a black thousand-paper crane from his storage space and wrote some words on it: The time is ripe, begin to reel them in!
The next moment.
The thousand-paper crane seemed to come alive, turning into a blur and flying out of the window.
