Lose My Heart to the Lovely Kitten Princess - Chapter 237
Chapter 237 A Mysterious Supplier
He Lulu held the Cosmos Sack with both hands as if he was holding a precious treasure. He held the bag with one hand and slowly untied the rope on the bag with the other.
After a very long few minutes, He Lulu finally opened the Cosmos Sack completely.
He Lulu wiped his hand, which was not very dirty, on his shirt before reaching into the bag and exploring.
Gu Hunge didn’t say anything when He Lulu took the Cosmos Bag aside to open it, but De Ertai followed him and seemed to be annoyed by his overbearing behavior.
“He Lulu, do you know how to open it? If you don’t, I’ll do it! Give it to me!”
De Ertai was so anxious when he saw He Lulu stuff his hand in the bag without taking it out that he wanted to push He Lulu away and take the Persian cat out himself.
“I’ll do it!”
To De Ertai’s surprise, He Lulu roared back furiously.
“This little fellow is our little cash cow. What if you hurt her by accident?”
“The cat is not as fragile as you think. Rather than worrying about it, why don’t you care about our goods?” De Ertai complained while retracting his hand.
“What’s wrong with the goods?”
He Lulu reached his hand into the interlayer and took the Persian cat out very gently. However, he asked De Ertai in a casual tone. When He Lulu finally felt the cat’s soft and smooth fur, he could not help but gasp in awe.
Although the circus leader was ignorant and surly, he was not bluffing. The cat seemed to be his favorite.
After all, the Persian cat looked like she was spoiled with love and pamper. Her fur was shiny and white, and she looked very energetic.
Previously, when He Lulu was watching the circus performance, he had noticed the Persian cat’s appearance. However, he did not take a closer look. He only felt that the cat looked particularly spirited, and her pair of red and brown eyes were as bright as beautiful gemstones.
At this time, the cat quietly slept in He Lulu’s arms, so He Lulu had all the time in the world to carefully observe the cat.
She had a round head. Under her little nose was a triangular mouth, and on both sides of her tiny mouth was a mustache. Her odd-colored eyes were tightly shut, and her eyelids trembled from time to time.
Even though she was asleep, the cat’s pointed ears trembled slightly, reminding him of her spirited look in the usual days.
The cat’s snow-white fur felt good to the touch. He Lulu deduced that the cat must have had dainty diets in the usual days, or she would not be able to maintain such a beautiful outlook.
She was so adorable! Her owner must have taken a lot of effort to cultivate a little cutie like her!
But she belonged to him now!
He Lulu laughed wildly. He was very proud to think that he could successfully steal the Persian cat today.
“Stop laughing! I’m telling you about the goods!” De Ertai was already a little impatient with He Lulu’s indifferent attitude. Now that he saw that He Lulu was still touching the cat, the impatience in his tone became even more obvious.
“Are you trying to say that Chu has been checking the imported goods strictly nowadays, so the sales of the goods have declined?”
He Lulu stopped looking at the cat and raised his head to look at De Ertai, asking seriously.
“Yes.” At the mention of this matter, De Ertai was upset, and his entire person was filled with a gloomy aura. “Those merchants who had agreed to meet us did not come to pick up the goods as promised. We can’t just pile the goods at our place like this!”
He Lulu frowned and pondered for a long time, but he did not answer De Ertai.
Delta had no choice but to continue reporting to He Lulu, “Also, there are some problems with the production side…”
“What problems? Didn’t I ask you to look for other suppliers?”
He Lulu was still thinking about the problem of the Datura being stuck here, but he did not expect other problems to surface.
“Yes, but there are not many people who buy goods from other suppliers.”
De Ertai looked even more worried. He paced anxiously beside He Lulu and bleated, “Besides, I asked some people who bought goods from several suppliers. They all said that the goods from other suppliers are not as good as the ones from the original supplier. More importantly, the big client had already warned us during our last meeting that he would terminate the business with us if we can’t increase the quantity.”
“F*ck! The yield of the production is too low! In fact, the goods have dropped by several times in the past few months.”
He Lulu was also helpless. He felt agitated when he looked at De Ertai pacing in front of him.
“Haven’t you seen the supplier? Discuss it with him again and say that price is not a problem!”
De Ertai seemed to have thought of something and he quickly walked to He Lulu’s side. His pace was very urgent, and his tone was even more urgent.
“I have already said what I should say. Their reply was, ‘take it or leave it’.”
He Lulu shrugged at De Ertai. His hands were tied when it came to the supplier. He Lulu was exasperated whenever he thought about how he would trade with the supplier through a door every time. However, he couldn’t change his production line as he pleased now. It seemed that he had to be on good terms with the existing supplier for now.
“F*ck it! Take me with you this month. I will definitely teach this person a lesson.”
De Ertai was not a good-tempered person, to begin with. Seeing their dilemma, he cursed directly in great dismay.
“Don’t waste your time. He is not seeing guests.” He Lulu thought of the businessman who always talked to him through the door. Instead of a businessman, he looked more like a madman who only knew how to produce the powder. Every time, he would only ask He Lulu about the sales of the Datura powder and the reviews from the clients, but he didn’t care about the price.
Then, He Lulu thought of a certain time when he inadvertently heard the crying and screaming of a woman coming from inside the house. Thinking of the mysterious partner he had never seen before, He Lulu pondered for a moment before saying to De Ertai.
“Forget it. Let’s leave this matter for now. I will discuss the rest when I meet him.”
In this case, there was nothing De Ertai could say. He had already presumed that his subordinates would be displeased, so he decided to persuade them later.
The Persian cat did not move at all in He Lulu’s arms. He Lulu would have thought that something horrible had happened to the cat had him not felt her breathing.
“As long as we sell the Persian cat this time, our boys can be carefree and happy for a period of time. We can also relax,” He Lulu sighed. The gaze he cast at the cat was much gentler than before.
“That’s right, this one is definitely worlds apart compared to the ordinary ones here!” De Ertai nodded as he recalled the cat’s wonderful performance today.
Stroking the cat’s unusually soft fur, He Lulu suddenly had an idea in his mind, and his eyes lit up as he said to Delta, “What if we don’t sell the cat? We’ll keep her with us…”
“No!”
De Ertai directly objected He Lulu’s proposal when he heard that he didn’t want to sell the cat.
He Lulu persuaded Delta and waved at Gu Hunge, who was sitting by the table eating meat leisurely.
“Think about it. The cat is so intelligent. Why don’t we make good use of her to start a circus?”
Gu Hunge did not say a word and just silently gnawed on the big meat bone in his hand.
“Don’t even think about it! We can make a lot of money by doing this business, and our time is flexible. Why do we have to do that tiring but non-profitable performing business? No!”
De Ertai was very stern and refused to further discuss it, looking extremely unyielding. Perhaps De Ertai barked in such a loud voice that the cat, who was in He Lulu’s arms, trembled slightly.
He Lulu quickly lowered his head and observed the cat for a while. Seeing that the cat hadn’t woken up, he sighed in relief, looked at De Ertai, and stated his intention firmly.
“I call the shots. If there are any problems in the future, we can discuss them later.”
Although Delta looked thin, his voice was loud. He shouted on the spot, “Why do I have to listen to you? No, I don’t agree!”
“Why are you so loud?” He Lulu was so bewildered that he hurriedly looked at the Persian cat in his arms.
“I think you just want to keep the cat, selfish jerk!” De Ertai stomped his feet in anger. He forcefully pulled Gu Hunger’s arm and berated He Lulu. He even talked in the Hu dialect because he was not fluent in the Chu language.
De Ertai pointed at the cat as he complained, but He Lulu turned to the side so that De Ertai couldn’t point at her.
“He Lulu!”
De Ertai was so angry that he was rendered speechless. He would have rushed over to beat He Lulu up had Gu Hunger not pulled him away.
They had been working together for some years, and they had built a brother-like relationship. Today, He Lulu had actually quarreled with De Ertai because of a cat, so De Ertai was exasperated.
On the other hand, Gu Hunge was donning an honest and gentleman-like demeanor. He had started eating before He Lulu spoke, and now, he had finally finished gnawing the big meat bone in his hand. Old then did he burp in satisfaction. He casually threw the bone in his hand onto the table and motioned for De Ertai to release his arm.
“Calm down, and don’t provoke He Lulu.”
Gu Hunge casually wiped his greasy face with the sleeve of his robe and smacked his lips again. His eyes were still on the big bone that he had just thrown on the table. He seemed to be thinking about something.
“How about…”
De Ertai looked at Gu Hunge expectantly, waiting for him to say something.
“How about I go buy some more meat bones! I’m not full yet! I’ll give you some privacy to talk it out, okay?”
De Ertai had been holding his breath and expecting Gu Hunge to speak up for him. Unexpectedly, Gu Hunge said something that didn’t relate to their problem at all, which drove De Ertai up the walls.
“Get lost!”
Delta directly kicked him, but Gu Hunge nimbly dodged him.
“Alright, I was just joking.” Gu Hunge saw the pile of sackcloth bags in the warehouse and arched his eyebrows wittily. He immediately turned to the two men and mouthed in a mysterious tone, “Just calm down. By the way, I have something interesting to tell you. Do you know about the Fourth Prince of Chu?”
