Xiao Hua turned her head and saw Zhou Musheng leaning forward with his head down, looking at the magazine in his hand.

She quickly stood up and said apologetically, "I was so engrossed in watching that I didn't even notice you coming over."

Zhou Musheng pointed to a young woman on the magazine cover holding a Hermès handbag.

"Do you like this bag? A business partner gave it to me recently. I don't have a girlfriend, so this bag is really useless to me. You can have it."

Zhou Musheng spoke in a very casual tone, as if to say, "Do you want some cucumber salad for lunch? I'll buy you two."

He probably thought he didn't have a clear understanding of Hermès and didn't know that this bag was ridiculously expensive.

In the early 1990s, there were no Hermès boutiques in China. Some wealthy people in China had to go abroad to buy Hermès bags, and most people probably didn't even know what Hermès was.

Naturally, they had no idea that this tiny bag was incredibly expensive!

Xiaohua quickly waved her hand: "No, no, don't give it to me, I don't like it, it would be a waste to give it to me."

She would never accept such an exorbitantly priced bag, even if it meant dying for her.

"I saw you were looking at it so intently, I thought you really liked this bag."

Zhou Musheng thought that there shouldn't be any girl who didn't like bags. He really shouldn't have asked her earlier; he should have just bought the bag and given it to her.

If you proactively ask someone if they want a bag, and I give them one for free, they'll feel too embarrassed to ask even if they do want one.

She looked at it so intently just now, she must like it.

“I wasn’t looking at the bag; I was thinking about something else while looking at this magazine.”

Xiaohua explained.

Zhou Musheng sat opposite Xiaohua: "What is it? Tell me."

"Oh, I do think there are a lot of fashion magazines these days. I just flipped through a few pages, and I saw that all the clothes and bags were very expensive, they were all luxury items."

Our country is still not economically wealthy overall, but luxury fashion magazines sell very well.

This shows that while the country as a whole may be poor, there are quite a few rich people, so I'm not worried about a lack of students paying my tuition for my education and training programs.

Zhou Musheng looked at Xiaohua with some helplessness and said, "Sigh, you've really gone all in. If you don't succeed in starting a business, who will?"

"Yes, I think I will definitely succeed. This is the first time I've put so much effort into something." Xiaohua nodded firmly.

"What brings you here? You didn't come all this way just to see me, did you?"

Xiao Hua is a very busy person now. Zhou Musheng knows that she is so busy that she wishes she could be split in two. The fact that she would come to his company from school in the middle of the day to find him must mean something.

"I mainly came here to see you, and also to talk to you about something and get your opinion."

Zhou Musheng gestured for him to speak, saying, "Go ahead, I'm all ears."

"Here's the thing, you told me before that it's best to find a few like-minded people to start a business, so I recently brought in one of my classmates."

Because I felt we got along well, I didn't expect her to bring me any tangible benefits; I just wanted to involve her in this endeavor.

"Little Flower" refers to her recruiting Ru Jiali into the company.

Zhou Musheng nodded in agreement with her approach: "If you feel you get along with him, then your work together will be harmonious and there won't be much friction. That's fine."

You don't necessarily need to see any tangible benefits that someone can bring you before you cooperate with them. Sometimes, the greatest benefit is simply that two people can support each other and move forward together.

Xiao Hua thought the same way; she brought Ru Jiali in simply because she wanted to have fun with her.

"You can decide on this matter. I won't have any objections. You are the owner of this company. I am just an investor with a very small share. I will just wait for the dividends. I have no say in the matter."

Zhou Musheng assumed that Xiaohua felt that since he had invested in the company, she should follow his opinion.

Xiaohua waved her hand and shook her head: "Mr. Zhou, you misunderstood me. I didn't come here to talk about me pulling my classmate. I just wanted to talk to you about this."

What I mainly want to say is that there is now someone who can provide me with resources, and she wants to join my company and become my partner.

But I think she is very opinionated and has many ideas, and she is older and more experienced than me.

Most importantly, she comes from a wealthy family, which may give her considerable power and authority in certain areas.

I feel that if she joins the company, I might lose all say in it, which goes against my original intention.

I still want to have complete control over this company, to decide its direction and future development.

"People from your ex-husband's side?"

Zhou Musheng was very perceptive.

Xiao Hua was so surprised she couldn't speak. How did he guess that?

Regarding her relationship with the child's father, Zhou Musheng has always maintained that they are ex-husband and ex-wife.

Xiao Hua wasn't stupid, so she naturally knew that she had wanted to explain several times, but she felt there was no need to. Between her and Zhou Musheng, there was no need to explain her feelings and marriage.

But if she keeps letting him misunderstand like this, won't it make her seem insincere?

However, she and He Yan are going to get a divorce eventually. Even if they are not ex-husband and ex-wife now, they will be in the future. Forget it, let's not explain anymore.

"Yes, she's the child's cousin. I've only met her a few times, and she seems like a very nice person, well-mannered and righteous. But I feel like her personality is actually quite similar to mine."
