Manager Liu secretly sighed in relief. He had thought First-class Pavilion had secured an exclusive deal for the chili peppers, but it turned out they hadn't. That made things much simpler.
Still, for the next few months, he would have to stand by and watch as First-class Pavilion raked in a fortune.
Manager Liu stood up and cupped his hands in a salute. "Mr. Gu, my restaurant is busy, so I won't stay any longer. But when you have a new crop of these chili peppers, you must let me know first."
Gu Zhang chuckled, "Of course, of course. When the time comes, I'll have my kid send you a message."
After seeing Manager Liu off, Gu Zhang returned to the backyard, humming a little tune.
Mrs. Chen asked with a smile, "What is it? You look so happy. Did something good happen?"
