Xiao Beichen was reluctant to part ways. After a moment's thought, he asked, "For that batch of cattle and sheep, do you want them alive or butchered?"
Shen Yunyun considered it and replied, "You can have them butchered for me. I'll put them directly into cold storage."
"Alright, I'll contact the slaughterhouse tomorrow. I guarantee I'll send you the best cuts," Xiao Beichen agreed readily.
"Alright, you head back. I'm taking our matriarch home." Tang Yu now found Xiao Beichen increasingly irritating.
In just the short time he was away, this guy had tried to lure away their matriarch.
She was the founding ancestor of the Tang family village—how could she be taken away by an outsider?
But Xiao Beichen paid no attention to Tang Yu's attitude. Looking at Shen Yunyun, he said, "Everything I said last night was sincere. Whenever you change your mind, you can contact me. Oh, you haven't added me on WeChat yet, have you? Let's exchange contacts."
"I'll send it to you later," Tang Yu immediately cut in.
Seeing how fiercely Tang Yu guarded Shen Yunyun, as if she were the apple of his eye, Xiao Beichen felt quite helpless.
She wasn't even his girlfriend—why was he so protective?
He had truly fallen for Shen Yunyun at first sight, and he was sincere about it. The kind of sincerity that would bring down heavenly punishment if he were playing games.
Why couldn't Tang Yu understand that?
Tang Yu couldn't be bothered with Xiao Beichen. If he'd known this guy would suddenly lose his mind, he would never have brought the matriarch along. He could have handled the deal himself.
On the way back, Tang Yu was worried. "You're getting so much beef and mutton. What if you can't sell it? The meat at the market is all freshly slaughtered."
"Don't worry, I have my ways," Shen Yunyun said.
Tang Yu was still anxious, thinking to himself, what if this batch of meat doesn't sell well?
Maybe he could have the whole Tang family village mince it into filling for dumplings?
Or make beef rolls and lamb rolls?
Should he contact a few barbecue joints? Lamb skewers tasted best.
Just as Tang Yu was fretting, he suddenly received a call from his assistant.
"Can't use it all up? How much inventory is left?"
"The entire Blue Snow warehouse is full."
Tang Yu frowned. "I'll be back soon. We'll talk when I get there."
He hung up, and Shen Yunyun asked, "What happened?"
"Nothing major. Just some medicine that's about to expire and needs to be dealt with."
"About to expire? What kind of medicine?" Shen Yunyun inquired.
"Just some common ones—antibiotics, fever reducers, cold medicine, that sort of thing."
"How much?"
"A considerable amount, worth three million."
"Give it all to me."
Tang Yu looked at her in disbelief. "What do you need so much expiring medicine for?"
"Don't worry about that. I have a big use for it, that's all. Tally up the medicine, and I'll come pick it up later. Also, check your other stores and see if there's any more expiring stock in the warehouses."
Tang Yu's heart started pounding. "You're not planning to extract certain ingredients from it, are you?"
"No," Shen Yunyun said, understanding what he meant.
Some medicines contained certain components that could be extracted to make illegal substances.
Tang Yu was worried she might go down the wrong path.
How could she possibly go astray?
She had a great life ahead of her, and she lacked for nothing now.
Thinking about how she now had everything she needed, Shen Yunyun still found it hard to believe.
Life was going too smoothly—so smooth it felt unreal.
That was why she cherished her current life and was even more determined to run the trading center well.
Back in Goose City, Shen Yunyun went straight to open the trading center.
She hadn't come across any big orders lately. Luckily, she hadn't, or she figured she'd be too busy to handle them.
