"Old Five."
Madam Qu's tone of voice has been falling all year round. According to Chinese medicine, people whose last syllable of voice falls down all year round have weak Qi and blood, and damaged heart meridian, and need to be well taken care of.
The two words falling down finally hit Chen Laowu's head.
It hit him so hard that his liver hurt.
Don't... don't say it...
Chen Laowu held his breath with difficulty.
"Old Five, go back to Jing County with Manager Dong tomorrow to see if it's feasible, and take another 500 taels from the mulberry paper workshop."
Madam Qu thought about it and said with a melancholy tone, "No matter if it works or not, as long as there is a 30% chance, we must make every effort. If your eldest brother knows about it in the afterlife, he will also be pleased that the roots of the Chen family are getting deeper and deeper."
Chen Laowu licked his lips, "Yes..."
While agreeing, he thought quickly and leaned over to ask tentatively, "But, it's not reasonable for the mulberry paper workshop to pay for this money. Xianjin has made a lot of money this year. It's the right thing to do for him to pay for his own shop, right?"
Manager Dong laughed and chimed in, "That's exactly the truth!"
Chen Laowu: Huh?
This old bastard must be hiding somewhere waiting for him!
Manager Dong smiled and said, "The cash in our Jingxian store plus the Third Master's private savings should be enough."
"There's no need to bother Master Wu to make this trip - it would be convenient to just transfer the store to Master San's name."
Madam Qu frowned.
The shop in Jing County, named after Chen Fu! ?
Who do you want to piss off to death?
"No." Madam Qu said in a deep voice, "Let's go through the mulberry paper workshop. The shop..."
Madam Qu was silent for a moment, "Let the store be owned by the second son, and let him go with us."
Chen Laowu grinned his back teeth while laughing.
Boss Shang was amused and deliberately raised his voice to say, "I heard that the Chen family also rented a shop on Shuidong Street? Otherwise, we can run it together! I'll charge you 200 taels for one shop, and 300 taels for two shops!"
You you you! Shut up!
Chen Laowu wished he could use a needle to sew up Boss Shang’s mouth!
There is so much money in the world, is the Chen family's money more fragrant, or what? !
Hey! Why can’t you make enough money!?
Chen Laowu hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law, let's wait until this order is finished and see the situation first!" - Don't take money out of his pocket anymore!
Manager Dong looked over with a smile.
Madam Qu nodded and made the final decision, "Let's buy the old store first, and then talk about other things."
Boss Shang laughed and cupped his hands to thank Madam Qu, "You are truly a God of Wealth! When the younger generation settles down in Xuancheng, we from Jing County must really work together to live together!"
Chen Laowu’s rotten teeth were about to break: Haha, he is the treasure waiting to be taken, Qu is a soft-hearted god, and you are the fucking boss!
You are the fucking boss!
It cost him one thousand taels for this trip!
Madam Qu invited Boss Shang to have lunch, but Chen Laowu ate without any appetite. As soon as Boss Shang left, Chen Laowu and Manager Dong left the main hall one after another.
Chen Laowu put his hands on his waist, squinted his eyes and smiled as he called Manager Dong, "Old Dong——"
Manager Dong turned around and nodded, "Fifth Master, you called me?"
Chen Laowu glanced at him with a gentle and kind smile on his face, "How much silver did He Xianjin give you?"
Manager Dong looked calm and respectful. "Look at what you said. Manager He and I are the same person. My monthly salary of twenty taels is given by the Chen family, and her monthly salary of twenty-five taels is also given by the Chen family—"
Manager Dong's eyelids drooped slightly, and he continued, "Even your monthly salary, year-end dividends, and quarter-end average profits are all paid by the Chen family."
"In fact, the three of us are the same people at heart."
Manager Dong looked deep and smiled meaningfully.
He has always been good at managing his emotions, and his words are as calm as his name: Wu Bo.
Chen Laowu glared at Manager Dong and the corners of his mouth twitched.
Same person?
One is an orphan who depends on the Chen family for survival, and the other is a slave of the Chen family. How could he be the same person as them!
His surname is Chen!
If the eldest son of the family earns one hundred taels, thirty taels should be his!
Why is he the same as them?
He first worked diligently for his elder brother, then for his sister-in-law, and now he endures his arrogance and patience and devotes himself to that idiot Chen Cai!
What did Chen Fu do?
Keeping women, eating, drinking and having fun, and getting crazy when things don’t go his way!
Yet, he could enjoy the Chen family's offerings with peace of mind!
These people are all sucking his blood!
Sucking his and his brother's blood!
Chen Laowu took a deep breath, calmed the smile on his face, and before leaving, he sighed and said regretfully, "Old Boss, look at you, at such an old age, you still play the game of taking sides."
Manager Dong smiled but did not answer.
Chen Laowu turned and walked away, leaving behind a light sentence, "Stand if you want to, but if you stand in the wrong place, it will be all over."
When Manager Dong was in Xuancheng, he had a servant who followed him all year round. He couldn't stand his temper and said, "Master, have we offended the Fifth Master..."
Manager Dong stood in the corridor with his hands folded on his stomach, watching Chen Laowu walk away. After a long while, he smiled and said, "If you offend me, then so be it. The worst thing to do in life is to go with the flow and be two-faced. This guy can't play with Xianjin."
To be precise, he even felt that the old lady could not beat Xianjin.
I don't know why, but although this girl hates gambling, she has a gambling nature. She treats everything she does as the last thing and leaves no way out for herself.
Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes - many people are afraid of pain, and are reluctant to take off their shoes even if they are worn out to the point where only a layer of leather is left.
