Jin Qianqian smiled when she saw Ding Er still waiting anxiously for her answer.
"You don't really have to discuss this with me. After all, you already know how to do it."
"That would never do!" Ding Er hurriedly waved his hands. "It's your method, after all. It wouldn't be right for me to just take it for free.
Besides, I don't want to give anyone a reason to criticize the way I do business. I'm just waiting for you to agree, ma'am."
Jin Qianqian lifted her teacup and took a sip. "And what if I don't agree?"
Disappointment flickered across Ding Er's face, but he managed a smile. "Then I understand. I certainly won't build any more of these latrines in the future."
But Jin Qianqian just smiled. "I won't agree to take a share of your profits. However, you can build as many of these latrines as you wish from now on. I won't get involved."
"How can that be right?" Ding Er was displeased. "That doesn't make any sense."
