Chapter 390 Safety
This slightly strong attitude was rarely seen during their time together.
But Chen Zhuyi was not unfamiliar with it. She knew better than anyone else how these foreigners' expressions changed like turning pages of a book. There were countless reports of them in news newspapers in later generations.
"We are both businessmen. When it comes to business, we naturally only care about profits. I am confident that I can bring a lot of benefits to Miss Aretha."
As she spoke, Chen Zhu extended her hand generously. Before they could see clearly, she waved her hand again, and a small ceramic doll appeared.
The little girls' eyes widened suddenly, unable to believe that Chen Zhuyi could do such a thing.
"This is a toy I specially prepared for you. It's also a small token of my appreciation for the craftsmanship of the people. I hope you don't mind."
"They are all made of clay, and are quite exquisite. They also carry my heart and soul. I hope you will accept them."
Chen Zhu smiled, and like a magic trick, he grabbed a few small ceramic toys and handed them over.
She had prepared a set of the twelve zodiac animals, which was just perfect for them now.
A doll is about the size of a thumb, and it is not too noticeable even when held in the hand. The key is that Chen Zhuyi can make them appear.
"I've seen some really beautiful blue and white porcelain vases at my aunt's house. Can you give them to me?" Maria's expression changed, and she took the initiative to ask for them without any embarrassment.
These words made Shen Zhu's skin jump. The smile on her face revealed a bit of bitterness for no reason, and she shook her head slightly.
"It's not that I don't want to send it, but I really can't make the decision."
"Because I don't have any blue and white porcelain utensils either, if you don't mind, you can come with me and take a look at the goods we brought."
Chen Zhuyi's words made the girls nod with interest and follow him to the pier.
Huo Jinzhi and Mo Cuilin were counting the goods and had already taken out a portion of them, preparing to set up a stall on the roadside.
As soon as he saw Chen Zhuyi's figure appear, Huo Jinzhi's eyes immediately followed him, as if they were glued to him.
This somewhat infatuated behavior made Mo Cuilin sigh in admiration.
However, if it was Shen Zhuyi that he was lucky enough to marry, he swore that he would treat her better!
"Let's get some things and give them as gifts." Chen Zhu smiled and waved his hand.
The bright red characters for "Fu" (meaning "blessings") were particularly eye-catching, and there were also some embroidered handkerchiefs that were stuffed in by someone unknown, and they were also very delicate.
There were even some glittering fabrics that they had only heard of. The little girls' expressions had turned into admiration as they stared and looked at them, unable to move away.
"There's a little fabric, so I thought I'd show you some first. After all, there's too much brocade, and you might not like it all."
Chen Zhu picked one and brought it directly to Aretha.
There are extremely delicate dark patterns on the light blue, like flowing clouds. Even in this dim environment, it can be seen that it is extremely extraordinary.
These were not originally in Shen Zhuyi's original acquisition plan. They were discovered when they arrived at the port city that Gongsun Mei had someone send them back.
Aretha couldn't move her eyes and hands away, and she wanted to make clothes out of the fabrics and wear them right now, but she still had a reserved look on her face and didn't lose her composure.
"If you don't like it, just give these things to me. It doesn't matter what kind of clothes I wear." Luna next to her couldn't help but stretch out her hand to grab them.
With her background, she was fully qualified to compete with Aretha, and this piece of cloth was the best thing they had.
Aretha reacted quickly and hugged the cloth in her arms, glaring at her fiercely with a hint of displeasure in her eyes.
"If you want to rob me, you should know who you are. I want this cloth, and I will also take some of your goods."
Aretha raised her head slightly and gave orders in a haughty manner.
By promoting through these young ladies, we can definitely guarantee that the products will sell, and it will become the next trend here, and even sweep across the entire continent!
"Of course. Since it's what you want, we should naturally find the best thing. Otherwise... it would be a shame to our friendship."
Chen Zhu smiled slightly and pulled everyone to start choosing together.
Her calm attitude in answering questions made Luna and Maria, who failed to grab the cloth, look a little aggrieved. They only picked the second-rate goods and now had stern faces.
"If I come across anything good in the future, I will definitely send it to you as soon as possible. Perhaps... we can also exchange contact information?"
The only way to contact people now is by letter, and international shipping is quite laborious.
However, it is easy for merchant ships coming here from the port to deliver things to these young ladies.
Luna was the first to express her opinion and gave her address to Chen Zhuyi. Maria naturally followed closely, unwilling to miss such a good opportunity.
For a moment, the relationship that was originally a little unfamiliar became a lot more profound because of this gift-giving.
Even Aretha didn't maintain her own attitude. She rarely showed a gentle smile, which was not as hypocritical as yesterday.
"Since you have come prepared, I have no choice but to take you to broaden your horizons." Aretha smiled and pulled Chen Zhuyi to get in the car together.
Huo Jinzhi wanted to follow along, but Chen Zhuyi shut his mouth with a look.
"If you want to follow me, I have a way, but... with your identity, you shouldn't be able to get in." Mo Cuilin said with a smile, with a hint of arrogance in his words.
At this time, if Huo Jinzhi wanted Chen Zhuyi to be protected by someone he could trust, he should bow to him.
But with Huo Jinzhi's personality, he will never give in easily!
"Then I'll trouble you to go. No matter what conditions you have later, I will try my best to agree to them. As long as they don't violate my bottom line, anything is fine."
Huo Jinzhi made the promise immediately without thinking. His eyes were burning and full of determination, and his emotions were more intense than those of ordinary people.
This thoughtless response left Mo Cuilin a little confused. He took a deep breath and solemnly reminded her, "Do you really want me to stay by her side at such a critical moment?"
"I'm not qualified." Huo Jinzhi said it calmly. He had come here with Chen Zhu, but he was a stranger, so it was natural for him to be on guard. "Nothing is more important than his safety."
