Chapter 1223: Have Experts Inspect the Project
"Hehe, and there's an estate with a thousand mu of fertile land. From now on, you'll be Lord Lu."
"You make it sound like I'm not already Lord Lu. My Sweet Delights Shop and sugar refinery may not bring in gold by the bucketful every day, but they're still quite profitable, all right?"
"If you hadn't mentioned them, I'd practically forgotten about those two businesses of yours..."
Not just Shen Ying—if the sugar refinery's manager had not come to report to him from time to time, Lu Zheng would have nearly forgotten about those two businesses as well.
Fortunately, that was simply how things were these days. The masters of wealthy households basically did not handle affairs personally; the managers of every trade made the decisions.
Thus, the trusted managers were instead brimming with vigor and drive, running the two shops in perfect order. After Lu Zheng stopped selling artworks, the Lu Family's entire expenses had basically been covered by those two businesses.
Of course, the sugar refinery's manager was also well aware of Lu Zheng's identity as an Extraordinary.
Lu Zheng took out the fire ganoderma from the wooden box and handed it to Si Lingxi. "This is for you."
Si Lingxi cast the fire ganoderma a sidelong glance, then casually waved her hand. "I have no use for it. Find the time to eat it yourself. It should be of some benefit."
As she said this, Si Lingxi seemed to think of something. Her eyes flickered as she seriously reminded him, "There's no need to refine this fire ganoderma into a pill. You can consume it directly. Its medicinal potency is just a little strong, though. When you take it, let me stay by your side to stand guard for you."
