Luo Chen was blissfully unaware that, once again, someone was plotting his marriage behind his back.0

With a few bodyguards in tow, he swaggered back to the inner city. Since it was still early in the day, he made a stop at the Yuan family residence first to settle the previous month's accounts.0

As he reviewed the ledger, he noticed an unexpected surplus—fifty spirit stones more than usual.0

"I met someone who said the celestial beans were delicious and wanted to buy more," Yuan Xiaoyue explained. "I told him I couldn't sell everything since we had regular customers, but he wouldn't take no for an answer. In the end, he insisted on buying out the whole stock, even paid extra. That's where the fifty spirit stones came from."0

Luo Chen's expression turned strange.0

So they were willing to pay more just to rob me?1

After a moment of reflection, Luo Chen began splitting the earnings.0

Gross income, seven hundred spirit stones.0

Now that he no longer paid a fixed wage, he gave Yuan Xiaoyue her thirty spirit stone salary, plus a profit share after deducting costs. The cost of celestial beans and popcorn? No more than a hundred spirit stones total.0

The profit margins were impressive—no wonder so many had started imitating his business....0
