Plot against someone? Su Qingluan was a little confused when she heard this word: She was just a country girl from a remote village, who would plot against her... Wait...
Su Qingluan's heart trembled, and she suddenly remembered those suspicious people she noticed yesterday evening.
"People from the Xie Mansion?" At this time, and they were all strangers - hiring people to do work required capital, and she didn't think that ordinary people, especially those who were hired to do bad things, could have such ability.
Kaiyang nodded and gave her a "teachable" look, the meaning of which was very clear: it's okay, not completely stupid, there is still hope.
Su Qingluan: ...She felt like her intelligence was looked down upon, but this time she was indeed a little careless and couldn't blame others.
"I felt like there were a few unfamiliar people yesterday evening, but I wasn't sure if they were just idlers in this village, so I was half-believing and half-doubting," Su Qingluan recalled yesterday's memories. "But in the middle of the night, I vaguely heard some noise outside the door, but then it died down. I thought it was all right, so I went back to sleep."
Kaiyang sneered when he heard this: "With this kind of vigilance, you wouldn't even know if someone packed up and sold you in the middle of the night."
Su Qingluan retorted in a low voice, unconvinced: "Who would have thought that someone would come to this remote place to plot against a little country girl?"
Mu Xingzhi smiled and said, "Qingluan, there's no need to be so self-deprecating."
Kaiyang nodded: "Indeed, not everyone comes to the Xie Mansion to discuss business. Just for this reason, your 'Su Ji' will definitely become bigger and stronger in the future!"
Su Qingluan's mouth twitched a little: "Thank you for thinking so highly of me."
However, she still felt that it was a bit unbecoming for such a large mansion, with the head of the family being a third-rank official, to embarrass a little girl like her in this way just because of a business deal. She couldn't help but complain, "This is the 'family background' of the rich and powerful. It really opens the eyes of us lowly people."
Kaiyang, who also came from a good family:... I don’t know why, Su Qingluan was obviously not talking about him, but he had an inexplicable feeling of guilt.
If Kaiyang had surfed the Internet in modern times, he would know that this feeling can be translated into plain words: being strafed by a map cannon, so he would feel the guilty feeling of being "shot in the knee".
Mu Xingzhi glanced at Kaiyang with interest, then at Su Qingluan: "Before this, the fact that I can talk to you openly about cooperation, compared to the Xie Mansion, is the strongest evidence that you are 'worth it'."
When saying this, Mu Xingzhi's voice was not very loud and powerful, but his attitude was very relaxed and casual, as if he was talking about something very normal.
However, his usually gentle eyes reflected an unusual arrogance, which made the originally gentle smile on his face become a little sharp.
Su Qingluan stared at Mu Xingzhi blankly. After a moment, she came to her senses and shook her head with a helpless smile: "As expected, you are the real superior. From today on, I have some sense of reality."
Mu Xingzhi knew the reason why she sighed like that. In fact, people do have something called "aura". Otherwise, no one would see someone of similar size to themselves and be unable to describe the situation.
At that moment, Mu Xingzhi no longer restrained his aura, because he was really curious about the reaction of Su Qingluan, who had always behaved very casually and even a little "careless" in front of him.
The result was that Su Qingluan was stunned for a moment, and then returned to her usual state. In short, there was no special reaction.
Kaiyang naturally couldn't fail to notice the instantaneous change in Mu Xingzhi's aura. He tensed up instantly, but Su Qingluan seemed completely oblivious. This alone heightened Kaiyang's admiration for Su Qingluan.
...Although the first level of admiration is because of stinky tofu...
It seemed as if the moment he had tried to test Su Qingluan was just an illusion. Mu Xingzhi returned to his lazy state, casually nestling on the backrest of the wheelchair. "So, what should we do next?"
Su Qingluan frowned in confusion. "Let me confirm. The Xie family doesn't intend to murder our family. They just want to use some tricks to make me submit to their conditions. We still want to discuss business, right?"
Mu Xingzhi nodded. Kaiyang added, "And based on what we know about Xie Xuanfan, he's not the type to make a big fuss over something like this, or to ignore proper propriety. This is most likely a case of one of his subordinates acting on his own initiative."
Su Qingluan couldn't help but sneer when she heard this: "If I were really a country girl with no ability to resist, wouldn't I be at the mercy of others right now?"
Mu Xingzhi smiled and said, "After all, our agreement was that I would guarantee the safety of your entire family, right?"
Su Qingluan couldn't help but sigh, "But I haven't even signed any contract with you. We're both partners, but the difference in credibility and efficiency is simply...tsk tsk tsk."
Mu Xingzhi smiled and asked, "So, have you figured out what to do next?"
Su Qingluan curled her lips when she heard this: "What else can I do? Money is hard to make and shit is hard to eat, but I still have to bow to the power of money!" She makes money not for herself alone, but to take the opportunity to build a local commercial production chain.
If you are just doing business, the worst that can happen is you will look for opportunities next year.
But she simply couldn't wait - the weather was getting colder and colder. Although some villagers had earned a lot of money from the help they received in the past few days, it was still far from enough compared to the whole village. What's more, if possible, Su Qingluan also wanted to help the people in the dilapidated alley where the Liu family used to live.
Calculated this way, the previous profits were far from enough - after all, in addition to food, we also had to ensure that everyone had shelter and clothing to shelter from the cold, which were considerable expenses.
Thinking of this, Su Qingluan's face wrinkled into a bun: "Although I know rationally that if I act on impulse and scold Manager Xie and Aunt Zhang or even that Xie Zian, this deal will definitely not be done, but they actually tried to plot against me yesterday!"
Even though she knew that the other party had no intention of killing her, Su Qingluan didn't want to forgive them just because they dragged her family into this!
This feeling of having to cooperate with someone for a long time even though it is obviously very annoying is simply too annoying - Su Qingluan thought a little aggrievedly.
At this moment, she felt a warm touch on her head - it seemed that Mu Xingzhi leaned his upper body forward and put his hand on the top of her head. There was no other movement, he just kept it there.
"Why? I'm not a child anymore. I don't need to be coaxed." Su Qingluan pouted. Although she was still a little unhappy, she knew why she cooperated with the Xie family. At least, it was not just to make money.
Mu Xingzhi blinked cunningly: "Although you probably can't let them do anything - after all, those people you captured are just minions, most likely abandoned pawns - but do you want to make things difficult for them?"
