Chapter 108: Chapter 108: Distribution of Benefits

"Let’s talk business. As someone from my kind of family, I don’t have any say in my marriage. What’s between us can only happen in secret. I might even be arranged to marry someone from another family."

At this point, Chu Shuyuan’s mood was clearly not great.

Ji Yang didn’t have any intentions of marrying her either and knew that their affair was just a chance occurrence. Even though Chu Shuyuan had explained it this way, he still felt that she was hiding something.

It was all about getting what they needed!

On the surface, Ji Yang still had to show some reluctance.

After hesitating for a moment, Ji Yang said, "I understand."

"Not exposing our situation is also a way to protect you. It won’t affect you if you want to find a girlfriend in the future."

Ji Yang got it; neither of them could speak of this matter, or they would be in big trouble.

Chu Shuyuan’s hand busied itself beneath, kindling the fire in Ji Yang’s heart.

From this incident, Ji Yang understood that there was a huge gulf between him and those big families; it was not easy to bridge, and this only made him more resolved to climb to the top at any cost.

"Speaking of the rice wine, I’ve done some coordinating on your behalf, and now we have this proposal."

Ji Yang also understood that Chu Shuyuan’s casual mention meant she had put in a lot of effort and had given significant assistance.

"You’ve taken a lot on!" he said appreciatively.

"As long as you understand, it’s all for you."

Ji Yang didn’t say much more, climbed on top, and the two engaged in a fierce battle again.

A long time passed before they ended their encounter.

This time the two simply fell asleep.

When they awoke, Ji Yang took a shower and then found some ingredients in the fridge and started cooking.

Chu Shuyuan, brimming with vitality, also took a shower and sat there drying her hair.

"The rice wine issue isn’t just about the wine. It contains something special, which is why the Chu Family is going to set up a pharmaceutical factory there to research this particular rice wine."

"And then?"

"In the factory, Wu Mi will own two percent of the shares, Wu Changshan will own one percent, and another five percent will be allocated to the people of Wushu Village. You might think that’s not much, but it’s already a lot. In addition, five percent will go to your family."

"And my share?"

"Why would I go through all this trouble if it weren’t for your share?"

"There won’t be any problems, right?"

"There won’t be any problems at all if we allocate the shares in your parents’ names and you stay out of this."

Seeing Ji Yang still uneasy, Chu Shuyuan said, "Don’t think everyone up there is so clean. Everybody uses the same methods. No one will trouble you for this; just accept it without worry. I have a share too. This matter is settled now. As for the cultivation of rice and herbs, I heard the village has already started. The Chu Family will invest further and is estimated to take over all the land."

"What about the villagers?"

"Don’t worry about them. They can take part in farming, they can work, and they can also do business in the new village. There definitely won’t be any problems. After all, I was the one who designated that village. Its development will greatly benefit my career."

Ji Yang finally nodded slightly and then asked, "The hot springs and the waterfall they developed won’t be affected, right?"

"There’s no impact on those, no problem at all."

Ji Yang was finally relieved.

Chu Shuyuan said, "Of course, now that the Chu Family has stepped in, building a road there has become inevitable. Soon, there will be a road to that place. The Chu Family will treat it as a key development project, which will benefit both of us."

Ji Yang thought aside from Wushu Village, Mei and the others also secured some other land. If the Chu Family starts making significant investments there, it could have great potential.

"Don’t think too much. Everyone does it this way. Even I don’t have much say in the Chu Family. I had to work hard to get this deal."

"I understand. Without your help, the village wouldn’t have gotten anything out of it."

"Let them produce as much rice wine as possible. I’ll help sell it. With that money, Wushu Village will have its development funds, and they can do whatever they want."

Ji Yang said, "Actually, this is a good thing for Wushu Village. They wouldn’t be able to hold onto these benefits themselves."

"Yes, if not for the Chu Family, the Li Family, or some other family would have taken over, but at least the Chu Family left some."

Ji Yang had to agree with her logic. Indeed, that’s how it was; even he, who had not received a share before, now got the most—five percent. It didn’t seem like much, but if they managed to create significant profits, that was no small sum. It was definitely a result of Chu Shuyuan giving up some of her interests to secure it for him.

Ji Yang said, "Once the village is built and the pharmaceutical plant starts producing results, that place will be more than just a small spot. I suspect we won’t even be able to keep the hot springs and the waterfall."

"When that time comes, just cooperate with the Chu Family, and they will surely gain profits."

Ji Yang knew that was the only option.

"This matter, whether for me or for you, is a significant achievement. As long as we maintain control over this place, the achievements will follow. You don’t need to worry about those at the township vying for power; just focus on your own affairs. The Chu Family will arrive soon, and they’ll produce the contract. You just need to sign it in your parents’ names. Really, don’t overthink it. If someone wanted to make an issue out of this, there wouldn’t be many significant figures in the country who could avoid it."

At this point, Ji Yang was completely at ease.
