Tang Wen took out a one hundred tael silver note and stuffed it into her hand. "Selling or not?"
"Uh?"
The middle-aged woman hesitated. She couldn't earn one hundred taels in half a year!
"Fine, forget it." He made a motion to take it back.
"No, no, no! I'll sell, I'll sell!"
"If you sell, how will you explain it?"
Stuffing the silver note deep into her robes, the middle-aged woman put on a fawning smile. "She's just a sample! There's always some attrition, isn't there?"
Tang Wen took out his money and counted out another fifteen hundred taels.
The middle-aged woman gave him a Redemption Certificate. It briefly described the woman's details and served as a receipt.
Tang Wen took the certificate, led the dazed-looking woman, Number 10, out of the room, and continued browsing.
