Wei Che was so perceptive that he noticed Su Huaiyue's abnormality at a glance.

The smile on his face disappeared in an instant, replaced by deep worry.

He stood up quickly, walked a few steps to Su Huaiyue, bent down slightly, tried to make his eyes level with Su Huaiyue, and asked seriously: "Sister-in-law, did something happen to you? It seems that you are not in a good mood."

His eyes were full of concern, as if he wanted to see the secrets deep in Su Huaiyue's heart through her eyes.

Although Su Huaiyue was a little flustered, she quickly calmed down.

She raised her head slightly, her eyes meeting Wei Che's calmly, a faint smile on her face, and said calmly: "It's really nothing. I've been under a lot of pressure from new product research recently, and I'm a little nervous. I may not look well, so I'm sorry to have worried you."

Her voice was steady and clear, without any panic or hesitation, and every word seemed to be carefully considered.

Wei Che obviously didn't quite believe it, his brows were still furrowed, and he wanted to ask something more.

Su Huaiyue didn't give him a chance, and gently pulled out the hand held by Wei Che, with an elegant and natural movement, and said: "Hurry up and eat, before it gets cold. I'll go back first, there are still many things waiting for me to deal with in Meiyan Pavilion."

After saying this, she bowed slightly, turned around and walked steadily towards the door. Her steps were light and firm, without a trace of haste or embarrassment.

When she reached the door, she turned slightly sideways, nodded politely to Wei Che, then pushed the door open and walked out, her figure quickly disappearing in the corridor outside.

Inside the house, Wei Che stood there, looking in the direction where Su Huaiyue left, the worry in his eyes did not dissipate.

Returning to the Meiyan Pavilion, Su Huaiyue looked at the busy yet orderly scene in the pavilion, but she did not feel much sense of accomplishment.

During this period, the business of Meiyan Pavilion has shown a steady growth trend, and the accounts are all clearly calculated.

After Su Huaiyue handled many affairs in the Meiyan Pavilion in an orderly manner, he calmly instructed the shop assistants in the pavilion to take care of the business, and then walked straight towards the Lu family with confidence and decisiveness.

Along the way, she walked briskly, having already planned every detail of the discussion with Lu Jin in her mind.

When she stepped into the Lu family's reception room, Lu Jin was sitting elegantly in the main seat, holding a cup of tea in her hand and sipping it gently.

The sunlight shines through the carved window lattices and falls on the floor of the Lu family's living room, forming patches of mottled light and shadow.

Lu Jin was wearing an exquisite satin long dress and sitting upright in the main seat. A set of quaint tea sets was placed on the tea table in front of her, and the aroma of tea was rising in the air.

She was leisurely sipping tea when she suddenly heard the maid announce that Su Huaiyue was coming to visit.

Seeing Su Huaiyue coming in, she gently put down the teacup in her hand, stood up slightly to greet her, with a polite smile on her face and a bit of enthusiasm in her tone: "Huaiyue, how come you have time to come to me today? You are usually so busy in the Beauty Pavilion that I thought you almost forgot about me, your old friend."

Su Huaiyue also responded with a smile. She walked lightly to a chair beside her and sat down.

She was wearing a simple yet elegant light blue dress today. Her hair was simply tied up with a white jade hairpin in it. She looked capable and calm.

After sitting down, she didn't exchange too many pleasantries. Knowing that time was precious, she took out a contract from her arms.

She placed the contract on the table and said with a serious and sincere expression, "Mrs. Lu, I'm here today to discuss something. As you know, competition in the business world is increasingly fierce. While running the Meiyan Pavilion, I've come up with some new ideas and plans. I hope the Lu family can be merged into the Meiyan Pavilion, and the Lu family will receive a share of the profits. In this way, there will no longer be a Lu's Rouge Shop, only the Meiyan Pavilion. I believe that with the scale and influence of the Meiyan Pavilion, combined with the Lu family's unique perfume-making craftsmanship and customer base, we will surely achieve greater success in this industry."

When Lu Jin heard this, his smiling face changed slightly.

A hint of reluctance and hesitation flashed in her eyes, and she frowned subconsciously.

She picked up the teacup again, but did not drink it. She just gently turned the cup in her hand, as if trying to calm herself down.

After a moment, she gently put down the teacup and sighed slightly, with a bit of helplessness in her tone and eyes full of attachment to the family business. She slowly said: "Huaiyue, this Lu Rouge Shop is the hard work of several generations of my family.

For as long as I can remember, I've watched my elders toiling away in this shop. Every rouge, every bottle of powder, represents the Lu family's countless efforts and emotions. It's truly difficult for me to part with this merger... I'm sure you understand the sentiment. For so many years, it's been more than just a business; it's more like the roots of our Lu family, carrying our family's glory and memories."

Su Huaiyue had anticipated this. She smiled calmly and calmly, and her smile revealed full confidence and composure.

She slightly turned sideways and elegantly took out a beautifully bound booklet from her other sleeve, which contained detailed instructions on the equity system.

She gently opened the booklet slowly, and the dense handwriting and precise data on it were clearly visible.

"Mrs. Lu, I understand your concerns." Su Huaiyue's voice was calm and gentle, and she spoke slowly and steadily. "This Lu Rouge Shop carries the hard work of several generations of your family. It would be difficult for you to give it up easily. But look, this is the equity structure plan I carefully prepared for this cooperation. From now on, the Lu family will permanently receive two-tenths of the gross profit of Meiyan Pavilion."

As she spoke, she gently pointed at the corresponding clauses in the booklet with her fingers, her eyes focused and sincere.

After saying this, she raised her hand slightly and signaled the maid serving beside her to bring paper and pen.

The maid immediately understood and quickly brought out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone and placed them neatly.

Su Huaiyue picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, wrote down numbers on the paper, and began to settle the accounts with Lu Jin on the spot.

As she wrote, she explained in detail how the various income and share calculations were done, with such clarity that it felt like she was telling a fascinating story.

"Look, this is the approximate monthly sales of Meiyan Pavilion. After deducting costs, labor, and other expenses, the remaining gross profit is calculated according to this ratio..."

Su Huaiyue pointed to the data on the paper and explained patiently, "Moreover, with our subsequent development and market expansion, this number will only become more and more impressive."

Her voice was not loud, but full of persuasiveness. Every word seemed to carry magic, attracting Lu Jin's attention.

Lu Jin was originally leaning lazily on the back of the chair, but after hearing Su Huaiyue's words, his body unconsciously leaned forward slightly.

Her eyes followed the movement of the pen in Su Huaiyue's hand closely, and the original dullness in her eyes gradually faded away, replaced by a hint of curiosity and anticipation.

Her fingers tapped lightly on the armrest as she listened carefully to Su Huaiyue's explanation, nodding slightly from time to time, as if she was silently thinking in her mind.
