The negotiation proceeded smoothly as both parties were eager to facilitate the cooperation.
The moment Shu Yu signed her name on the contract, she felt a sudden relief and looked up, smiling at Ren Huai, "Pleasant cooperation."
Ren Huai was taken aback but responded readily, "Pleasant cooperation."
Both carefully secured the contract, agreed to deliver the goods early the next morning, and Shu Yu returned home.
Arriving at the Lu family's gate, she saw a crowd outside and decisively told Ying Xi to turn the carriage, "Forget it, let's not go back, head to the workshop instead."
Eager to deliver the goods early the next day, she intended to return home to change clothes before heading back to the workshop tonight to check, tidy up, and bag the goods.
Yet, seeing people at the gate, Shu Yu decided not to return home; she simply had Ying Xi inform the gatekeeper and then headed straight out of the city.
