The chef cooked slowly. His emphasis was on displaying his skill so Ming Shu had to slow down her eating.

Opposite her, Zhu Hongjie poured a glass of red wine for himself. He didn’t touch the food at all.

“Miss Jiang Xue, how is the food?”

It’s not as delicious as what my chefs cooked!

“Normal.”

The chef seemed unhappy at this review. He thought that Ming Shu didn’t know how to appreciate his cooking because she came from the poor district.

Luckily, the chef was a sensible person. He knew that this was Zhu Hongjie’s house so he didn’t say anything. He glanced at Ming Shu and continued cooking.

Zhu Hongjie took a sip of the red wine. “Cough... I will get directly to the point. I want to buy lifespan from you. The price is not a problem.”

Ming Shu smiled. “I’m afraid that you can’t afford it.”

Zhu Hongjie was confident. “I know that lifespan is expensive, but it’s not a problem for me.”

Lifespan was a rare resource. It could not be bought with just a few thousand dollars.

Zhu Hongjie knew this but with his assets, this money meant nothing to him.

Since her hidden task was to gain Hatred Points from the people in the wealthy district, Ming Shu didn’t hold back.

“Mr. Zhu has a great reputation and is extremely wealthy...” Ming Shu used all the words she could think of to praise Zhu Hongjie.

At the start, Zhu Hongjie felt happy to be complimented. However, soon after, he felt that something was amiss.

“... For someone like you, you must have a special and custom-made deal. That is the only way to showcase how noble and powerful you are.”

Zhu Hongjie probed, “Miss Jiang Xue, what do you mean by a special and custom-made deal?”

Ming Shu smiled. “We normally sell lifespan by the year.”

Zhu Hongjie: “...”

If they didn’t sell lifespan by the year, how would they sell it?

“But, Mr. Zhu is different. You are an honorable person. Counting by the years is not befitting of your status. Let’s count by the days.”

Zhu Hongjie: “???”

Assistant He was shocked too.

Young Miss didn’t tell him that they were changing the model.

Ming Shu continued, “I estimated your assets and think that your life is worth ten thousand every day. This is 10% of the money you make every day so it’s not much. Mr. Zhu, how many days do you want?”

Ten thousand a day means 3.6 million a year.

The market price was only 150 to 200 thousand a year.

Zhu Hongjie looked at her sternly. “Miss Jiang Xue, this price is too high.”

Ming Shu appeared astounded. “Do you think that your life is not worth this price?”

Zhu Hongjie: “...”

What should he say?

Zhu Hongjie sized up Ming Shu. “Miss Jiang Xue, are you targeting me?”

“Oh, you found out.”

Zhu Hongjie was furious.

He scoffed. “Miss Jiang Xue, you are not the only businesswoman in East City, I don’t have to buy from you.”

The wealthy district and the poor district was just common terms people used. The proper terms for these two districts were the East District and the West District.

The East District was the poor district. Some people even called the poor district the garbage collector district.

“Well, you can look for other people.”

Ming Shu nodded instantly. She was not afraid of offending him.

Zhu Hongjie narrowed his eyes. The atmosphere was tense.

“Sent her off!”

Ming Shu got up and smiled. “All the best to you then.”

Zhu Hongjie stared at Ming Shu’s face. He was boiling with anger. How dare this lady mock him.

Zhu Hongjie said, “Miss Jiang Xue, don’t be too confident. In our eyes, you are nothing.”

Ming Shu smiled brighter and agreed with what he said. “Yes, you all are very powerful. You’re extremely powerful.”

Ming Shu left the villa with Assistant He.

Zhu Hongjie flipped the table.

“What the hell is this! Who does she think she is? How dare she act arrogant in front of me.”

“Don’t be angry.” The butler consoled him. “There are many people doing this. We can find someone else.”

They chose Du Ji because it was the biggest lifespan-selling organization in the East District. It also had the best reputation.

Zhu Hongjie panted heavily. “Then go and find other people.”

The butler immediately agreed.

...

The moment Ming Shu got into the car, Assistant He said, “Young Miss, what are you doing? If you don’t want to take his business, we can just reject him. Why do you have to make him angry?”

“Angering people is my specialty!”

Assistant He was confused.

Ming Shu looked out of the car window. She said unwillingly, “Let’s go back first. I need to do something.”

Assistant He: “???”

Ming Shu disappeared the moment she returned to the East District. Assistant He stood at the main door in a daze. So why did Young Miss want to come back?

There were many organizations doing this kind of business. All the businesses had to make sure that the people who started before them allowed them to step into this industry.

To make sure that the competition in the market was friendly, the price was standardized. Everyone had to follow this price.

Those black markets which dared to disobey the pricing rule would be punished severely.

Ming Shu visited all the organizations and asked them to raise their price nicely.

When Ming Shu passed the new price chart to Assistant He, Assistant He was dumbfounded. He felt as though he was in a dream today.

“Young Miss, they... agreed?”

“Since there is money to be earned, why wouldn’t they agree?”

“But... the rise in price is too much...” Assistant He was agitated. “Ten thousand a day. How are we supposed to do business like this?”

The wealthy district consisted of rich people, but not everyone was a millionaire.

Many people were just workers receiving a fixed salary every month. Ten thousand for a year was their maximum.

“It’s written that we will review it on a case by case basis.” Ming Shu pointed at the chart. “We will charge average people at the usual price.”

Assistant He: “...”

Case by case basis? Why is Young Miss saying this?

She sounded like an evil merchant!

“We must lead the East District out of poverty!” Ming Shu patted Assistant He’s shoulder. “3.65 million a year can buy many snacks.”

Assistant He: “???”

What does the last sentence mean?

“Young Miss, if you do this, there will be many uncertainties in the market. Some people might snatch other people’s right to sell lifespans and the whole market will be in a mess. That is not good for us.”

“If wealthy people want to buy lifespans from those people, they have to be careful,” Ming Shu said. “They might lose everything.”

They were an honest organization, but others might not be.

There would always be people snatching other people’s lifespans and selling them at a low price.

However, most of the market was controlled by the main organizations.

“Do what I say.” Ming Shu smiled. “I know what I’m doing.”

Assistant He: “...”
