Chapter 257: 096 Backter Street, a new king is born!_4
Bai Lian was somewhat incredulous.
She tilted her head and looked at him with a pair of big eyes.
“Let’s go inside,” Jiang Fulai stopped at the corner, looked toward the front yard, and slightly raised his right hand, somewhat like he was taking an oath, “I really won’t scold you.”
Only then did Bai Lian look away.
It meant she believed him.
It was eleven o’clock at night.
Bai Lian changed into a black outfit and left the house with her homework.
Backter Street’s Qinglong Bar, oh.
Inside, the lights twinkled, and smoke filled the air at the peak of its liveliness.
After checking on Mao Kun, who was sobbing on the bed, Bai Lian calmly returned to the bar, seated herself on a high stool, lazily flipped open a practice book with one hand, and absentmindedly tapped the bar top with the other.
Xiaoqi brought out a desk lamp, plugged it in for her, turned on the light, and had someone prepare a drink with the lowest alcohol content for her.
The chaotic bar now had a strange corner—
A girl with her hair loosely tied up, doing homework under a desk lamp that was entirely out of place in a bar.
“The production of Solid Element Paste is low,” Xiaoqi explained to Bai Lian, “not because it’s pricey, we sell it at a standard rate. The problem now is that the raw materials can’t keep up. There are few people planting medicinal herbs, but after the news gets out that we’re buying up a lot of them, many farmers will start planting these herbs again.”
Now there were few people cultivating medicinal herbs.
Xiaoqi took some of the recouped funds and paid a deposit to a group of veteran farmers in Xiangcheng.
He was sharp-witted and handled this matter well.
Besides having artistic talent and business acumen, even Mao Kun’s godfather said Mao Kun was lucky and wanted to relocate Xiaoqi under his wing to do big things. Just today, Xiaoqi had been taken out to see the world.
But
Xiaoqi didn’t want to work for the big boss.
Nearby, Xiaowu rubbed his arm and shivered, “Just looking at Little Mao gives me the shivers, he’s so fierce!”
Xiaowu was particularly sensitive to pain, having been dumped at the orphanage due to his poor health.
The kids in the orphanage didn’t like him.
Only Mao Kun was willing to take him in.
Now, he cried and trained every day.
Bai Lian listened and slowly flipped to the next page, when suddenly something came to mind. She looked at Xiaowu and Xiaoqi, “Are you guys really not going back to school?”
