Chapter 282 I really don’t know where the confidence comes from
So far, Gu Erhui feels that the rumors about the Zhang family being upright and honest are true. The family members always speak to her in a friendly manner and the atmosphere is very good.
After talking for a while, Zhang Erge and Zhang Ersao came in. Zhang Ersao was a lively person. As soon as she entered the room, she smiled and said, "I set the alarm last night, saying I would get up early, but who knew I would get up late. Ziyao didn't even bother to call me, so I'm late."
Zhang Erge smiled faintly and sat down next to Zhang Dage without answering her. Zhang Ersao also sat down next to Zhang Dasao, then looked at Gu Erhui and said: "This is the Erhui who took in our family's monkey, right? Let me tell you, you are still very capable. Back then, Zhu Yujiao..."
"It must have been hot riding here on your bikes, didn't it?" Mrs. Zhang handed a glass of water to Mrs. Zhang Er, "Have a drink."
Mrs. Zhang seemed to realize that she had said something wrong and smiled apologetically at Gu Erhui. Gu Erhui didn't want to argue with her about this matter on their first meeting, so she lowered her eyes and drank her tea without paying any attention to her.
But Zhang Zijun was not happy. He frowned and looked at Zhang Erge and said, "Second brother, does my second sister-in-law dislike me or my partner?"
"Zijun, I didn't mean that. You know I'm a straightforward person." Mrs. Zhang said quickly, "Erhui, I apologize. I'm a straightforward person and my words may not be pleasant to the ears. Please don't mind."
Zhang Erge was very polite. He smiled apologetically at Gu Erhui and said, "Don't mind my sister-in-law. She is a person who doesn't know how to control her words."
Gu Erhui also smiled at Zhang Erge, indicating that she didn't mind. But she didn't think Zhang Ersao was really straightforward. Maybe she was just using her straightforwardness as an excuse to act recklessly.
She'd met more than one such person. Their motto was, "I'm blunt and my words don't sound nice, so don't mind me." But if you knew you spoke harshly, why didn't you change?
To put it bluntly, I just don't want to talk to you properly.
After the incident, they continued chatting and eating, and the atmosphere was very good. After lunch, the men sat together to talk, and Gu Erhui sat together with Lu Shuyun and the two sisters-in-law of the Zhang family to chat.
After a while, Lu Shuyun and Mrs. Zhang went out for something. Mrs. Zhang looked at Gu Erhui and asked, "Erhui, I heard that your family runs a supermarket?"
Gu Erhui nodded, "Yes."
"Are you going to open one in Kyoto in the future?" Zhang Ersao asked again.
Gu Erhui nodded again, "There is such a plan."
Mrs. Zhang clapped her hands with a smile on her face. "That's perfect. I want to do business too. I'll invest in your supermarket."
Gu Erhui didn't respond to her words, but asked: "Is this what you mean or what does my second brother mean?"
Gu Erhui thought a lot at once. Was it that the eldest wife of the Zhang family wanted to interfere in their family business and let the "straightforward" second sister-in-law to investigate?
"That's my own idea," Zhang Ersao said, leaning forward and whispering, "It's definitely worth it if you let me invest. My dad works at the Ministry of Commerce. If I invest in the supermarket, it will be my own business. It will definitely be much more convenient in the future."
Gu Erhui smiled and asked, "How much does Second Sister-in-law plan to invest? How much shares do you want?"
Mrs. Zhang held up a finger and said, "Out of ten thousand, I only have 30."
The answer was so quick, it must have been thought out in advance. What a big tone, what a greedy heart. Gu Erhui picked up the cup of water and took a sip of tea, saying: "We don't need other people to invest for the time being."
"Are you dissatisfied with my ownership?" Mrs. Zhang seemed a little unhappy. She snorted and said, "Think carefully, I'm not just investing 10,000 yuan, I also have the resources behind me. You're a businesswoman, you should know how important connections are."
Just because your family has a little background, you can do whatever you want? You really take yourself too seriously!
Gu Erhui put the teacup on the tea table and was about to say something to her when Lu Shuyun and Mrs. Zhang came in. Mrs. Zhang sat down and said with a smile, "What are you two talking about?"
"My second sister-in-law is joking with me," Gu Erhui said with a smile, "She wants to invest 10,000 yuan in my supermarket, which means she owns 30% of the shares."
When Lu Shuyun and Zhang Dasao heard this, they were both stunned for a moment. Then Lu Shuyun looked at Zhang Ersao with dissatisfaction, and said to Gu Erhui with a smile: "She is just talking nonsense, Erhui, don't mind it!"
"No, my second sister-in-law is straightforward and doesn't speak well. I know that." Although Gu Erhui said this with a smile, it was obviously ironic. Lu Shuyun glared at Zhang Ersao fiercely again. She was really becoming more and more troublesome.
The conversation was no longer awkward after that. Fortunately, Zhang Zijun noticed her gaze and immediately walked over to say that he was leaving. Then the two of them said goodbye to the people from the Zhang family's main branch.
After getting in the car and leaving the government compound, Gu Erhui told Zhang Zijun about what Zhang Ersao had told her about the share purchase, and then asked, "Do you think this was her idea or someone else's?"
Zhang Zijun hadn't expected this to happen. He immediately said, "My uncle and my two older brothers definitely don't intend to buy shares. It must be Tang Wei herself or the Tang family's idea. What a joke! She wants a 30% stake for just 10,000 yuan. How could she possibly want to do that? Don't worry about it. I'll settle the score with her."
Gu Erhui smiled. She hadn't intended to intervene in the first place. Everyone knew Zhang Zijun's personality. He could have caused a big stir at home, or even gone to the Tang family to cause another one. But what could he do?
What Zhang Ersao said to her today seemed casual, but in fact, she had thought of it a long time ago, including the mention of Zhu Yujiao at the beginning, which might have had a purpose.
He simply meant that her family had no power and influence, so they had to bow down to her. Then, when she proposed to invest, she would happily agree because she was marrying above her station!
I really don’t know where this confidence comes from.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the Zhang family's living room was very serious. Lu Shuyun sat on the sofa in the middle of the living room, looked at Zhang Ersao coldly and said, "Who gave you the idea of buying shares?"
Mrs. Zhang was still a little afraid of her mother-in-law. She whispered, "I just wanted to start a business on a whim. Erhui's family happens to own a supermarket, so it's perfect for us to cooperate."
"Just right? You want to take 30% of their shares for 10,000 yuan, is that just right?" Lu Shuyun scolded coldly, "You want to take advantage of the Gu family by relying on your family background."
"I told her that what she invested was not only 10,000 yuan, but also my family's connections." Zhang Ersao said quickly. She felt that 30% of the shares was not much. There were many people who wanted to get close to their Tang family but didn't have a chance.
"Your family connections?" Lu Shuyun sneered. "Gu Erhui married into the Zhang family. The entire Zhang family is her connection. Does she still need your connections? Besides, where did you get the 10,000 yuan investment?"
Mrs. Zhang lowered her head and said nothing. What else did Lu Shuyun not understand? It was the Tang family's idea to invest in the company. She said, "Don't be so obsessed with money. I'll talk to your mother tomorrow."
