However, they were old foxes at heart and began making all sorts of difficulties, claiming they weren't making any money and hoping for more lenient terms. These people were testing Liao Zhen's limits, trying to secure more benefits for themselves.
After a heated war of words, they finally signed the contract. The contract was drafted by Liao Zhen, with all terms favoring him. But they weren't without profit, and under the contract, they could achieve a win-win situation with the common people. Because their business scope included not only fruits but also other agricultural products, such as chickens, ducks, and geese raised by the locals, along with duck eggs, goose eggs, and chicken eggs. You had to give them a sweetener after a slap, or else they'd fight to the death, and no one would gain anything.
Shen Yunyun reluctantly signed the letter of谅解. Once the letter reached the police station, they closed the case and returned the large pearl to Shen Yunyun. News that Shen Yunyun had a pearl worth ten million in her hands spread quickly. Soon, someone asked Boss Guo to broker a deal to buy the pearl. Feeling that an innocent person might suffer for possessing a treasure, Shen Yunyun sold it.
When Gu Changye heard she'd sold the pearl to someone else, he rushed over to ask if she had any more, as he was also entrusted to buy one. In the blink of an eye, Shen Yunyun had sold two large pearls, netting twenty million. Money no longer held much meaning for her; twenty million felt like just a string of numbers. She decided to go back to the beast world for a visit, as it had been a while—the last time was during the great flood. This time, she planned to send some beef and mutton over.
Two days later, the beef and mutton arrived, delivered in refrigerated containers and stored directly in the cold storage. Seeing so much meat, Liao Zhen was beside himself. The fruits were just starting to be shipped out, and he'd only had two good nights of sleep before this massive load of beef and mutton showed up. Did those fruit merchants have connections? Could they sell this meat too? He immediately went to discuss the beef and mutton sale with Shen Yunyun.
Shen Yunyun said, "Don't worry about this for now. I have my own plans for it." Liao Zhen felt a pang of disappointment that Shen Yunyun didn't want him involved. The boss still didn't trust him enough, or else she wouldn't have kept him out of it. But how could he really stay out of it? If it sat in the warehouse too long, it would turn into freezer-burned meat and become inedible. Using it as feed wouldn't fetch a good price either. Liao Zhen lay awake at night again, worrying.
But the next day, the warehouse was empty. He found it unbelievable—had all the beef and mutton been sold? Shen Yunyun had never intended to sell these goods through normal channels. Not to mention the massive quantity, even the best preservation technology couldn't prevent spoilage over time. She temporarily stored the meat in her space. That very night, she went to the beast world.
It was snowing heavily there. Shen Yunyun regretted not choosing a two-way confirmation; her timing was off. Right then, two females were standing before Zhi, striking seductive poses. Anyone could see they were soliciting him. Shen Yunyun looked at the swirling snow outside, then at them. It wasn't even spring yet. Why were they already feeling amorous? Zhi stared straight ahead, his gaze not falling on the two females. The moment Shen Yunyun appeared, he noticed her. His face lit up, and he rose to kneel on one knee, placing a hand over his heart, respectfully calling out, "Beast God."
