Lin Xiaoxiao walked to the table and sat down without looking at Zhao Xihua and Lin Rui. It was obvious that she was making room for them.

Lin Rui said: "Xihua, we are good friends. If there is anything you want to say, why can't you just say it directly?"

Although he didn't bring it up, he didn't like Zhao Xihua's attitude of asking Lin Xiaoxiao to avoid the matter. After all, Lin Xiaoxiao was his sister, and whatever he knew, Xiaoxiao would know.

Zhao Xihua is a friend, which comes before relatives.

"It's like this." Zhao Xihua thought for a moment and said, "Lin Nuo doesn't have a job right now. If she stays in the village, she'll be too far away from me. It just so happens that she also wants to start a small business in the city, but right now she doesn't have any good directions to develop. So, I was wondering if she could also buy goods from you and set up a stall to sell them?"

Zhao Xihua was not afraid of Lin Xiaoxiao hearing these words, but he couldn't say them in front of Lin Xiaoxiao. After all, he was just opposing Zhou Kai's work here.

“…”

Lin Rui didn't expect that what Zhao Xihua wanted to talk to him about was this.

His expression changed and he said, "No."

Zhao Xihua was not surprised by Lin Rui's reaction at all. He was just about to ask Lin Rui to give him some face when he heard Lin Rui say.

"Lin Nuo has a bad heart, many tricks, and poor character. If she comes to sell this, who knows how much trouble will arise. Xihua, if she wants to do business, let her do something else! There are so many businesses that can be done now anyway. She doesn't have to do the same as us."

Lin Rui refused decisively, leaving no room for negotiation.

After his last time in jail, Lin Rui looked the same on the surface, but in some aspects, he had grown a lot, which could be seen if one observed carefully.

If it were in the past, he would have considered Zhao Xihua's face and would have hesitated, but now, he refused very straightforwardly.

No, it just can’t happen.

Other things can be discussed.

Even if Zhao Xihua asked him to borrow money, he wouldn't blink.

“…”

Zhao Xihua was not at all surprised by Lin Rui's reaction. After all, Lin Rui had always disliked Lin Nuo.

But he didn't give up. Instead, he said, "She has no experience in business. She doesn't know what to do or what to sell."

After all, the money Lin Nuo took was his parents' money. Even if it was for this money, he couldn't bear to see Lin Nuo lose money.

"Food, daily necessities, clothes, and toys are all fine. Anyway, I can't let her buy goods from here. I don't have any business dealings with her." Lin Rui said.

Although Lin Xiaoxiao was sitting far away, she still heard some of the conversation between the two and roughly knew what was going on. She was very satisfied with Lin Rui's decision.

It seems that my second brother has really matured.

She had the same idea as her second brother and didn't want to get involved with Lin Nuo.

Seeing Lin Rui was so determined, Zhao Xihua didn't know what to say. After thinking for a while, he said, "Then what kind of business do you think is good to do now?"

He has never done business and doesn't understand these things, but Lin Rui has done it and should be more experienced.

Lin Rui thought for a moment and said, "Let's sell food! I think food is the easiest to sell, and the capital is small, so selling snacks on the roadside is the best."

Zhao Xihua: “…”

There are many kinds of food, and Lin Nuo doesn't seem to be good at making any of them, so she definitely can't sell food.

Besides, Lin Nuo's appearance is pretty good. She would definitely not want to stand on the roadside and sell food like an old lady.
