Left with no other choice, he heard about Yuchai Feng's story. Others might think it was due to Miss Gu's abilities, but he had connections and knew that Zhu Jiayu was behind Yuchai Feng. So, after much hesitation, he finally got up and went to Chunshan Residence.
When Zhu Jiayu saw him arrive, she changed her mind about going out and welcomed him into the courtyard.
Qiu Weicha pursed his lips: "I hope my unauthorized visit won't bother Ayu?"
Zhu Jiayu shook his head and smiled, "What are you saying, Third Uncle? Please sit down for a while, I'll ask Lvzheng to serve tea."
Qiu Weicha waved his hand: "No need for that trouble, I just came to talk to you for a while."
He frowned slightly and said, "I've heard that A-Yu is quite skilled in business, so I'd like to come and ask you for some advice..."
Perhaps out of some embarrassment, and given that the two were not close and were separated by the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children, Qiu Weicha appeared very reserved, with a touch of politeness in addition to his reservedness.
Zhu Jiayu said, "I've heard about the shop's affairs. I wonder what Third Uncle wants to ask? I'm still young and certainly not as experienced as Third Uncle, so I can't make any promises. I can only say that if Third Uncle wants to know anything, I will definitely tell you everything I know."
She spoke sincerely, with a faint smile on her face, and subtly complimented Qiu Weicha, which indeed made Qiu Weicha relax. When she spoke again, she was no longer as reserved and polite as before.

“I’ve heard that the Zhu family’s embroidery workshop is doing very well. Could you talk to your brother-in-law about selling some fabric and clothing to the Qiu family’s shop? Of course, the Qiu family won’t take advantage of our marriage with the Zhu family to try and get a bargain. We’ll pay whatever the market price is.”
This is indeed an unreasonable request.
The reason why Yuchaifeng was able to open a shop in Heling was because it was the only one. However, if Yuchaifeng's supply was distributed to Qiu's shops, Yuchaifeng's business would inevitably be affected. Moreover, Zhu Jiayu did not want to do business with the Qiu family.
Doing business involves too many personal relationships. She has always believed that business and personal relationships should be kept separate, otherwise, in the end, neither can be achieved, and even the culprit cannot be identified. How can one reason with them then?
She thought for a moment, and instead of rushing to refuse Qiu Weicha, she said, "Has Third Uncle ever considered that if the shop's harvest is not good, we should start by making changes to the shop itself?"
