Small in stature, but with a grand vision.
Profound and far-sighted!
Skilled at enduring hardship!
Have strong self-confidence!
After listening to Wu Sisi's words, Xiao Luomu made these comments about the woman in front of him whose abilities were easily overlooked because of her good looks.
"So, Young Master Xiao, would you like to cooperate with me?"
"I couldn't ask for more!"
Xiao Luomu nodded emphatically and said, "But I have one condition."
Wu Sisi looked displeased and said, "Young Master Xiao, are you trying to raise the price just because I came to you of my own accord?"
"That's absolutely not true!"
Xiao Luomu said seriously, "I really want to cooperate with Mr. Wu. I am grateful that Mr. Wu took the initiative to come to me. I have no other intentions! The condition I am going to propose will be included even if I were to take the initiative to talk to you, Mr. Wu."
Wu Sisi asked curiously, "What are the conditions?"
"Hand over the soap business in Yanchuan City to Su Ye of the Su family in Yanchuan."
"Such a rare opportunity, and you're trying to secure business for someone else? Young Master Xiao, aren't you being too kind?"
"In business, I believe that profit is more important than emotion, and integrity is more important than profit."
Xiao Luomu smiled and continued, "I promised Su Ye that I would get my soap supply from him. If I don't give him the soap business in Yanchuan City, how can I get the goods from him? So this isn't out of kindness, but I just can't break my promise."
"Why let Su Ye make a profit when you could get a lower price from me?"
"Su Ye promised me that she wouldn't make a single penny off the soap she gave me."
Xiao Luomu frankly stated, "He provides the goods, and I sell them in eastern cities using the Xiao family's channels. We split the profits 50/50."
"How much did Su Ye offer you?"
"Three taels of silver per piece."
Seeing Wu Sisi's slightly surprised expression, Xiao Luomu knew that Su Ye had not lied to him, and said, "Su Ye showed me the contract. He wouldn't lie to me about something that's a win-win situation."
Wu Sisi asked, "But if you cooperate with me, at the same price, you won't have to give Su Ye a cut, and your profits will be double what they were before!"
"A business cannot stand without integrity." Xiao Luo shook his head and said decisively, "I'll say it again: my business principle is that integrity is more important than profit!"
...
"What a Xiao Luomu! I thought I thought he was quite high-minded, but I never expected his moral character to be even higher than I anticipated!"
On the waterbed at the Elegant Manor Club, Zhao Cheng was enjoying a back massage from Wu Sisi. At Zhao Cheng's request, Wu Sisi was still wearing the elegant long dress she wore when she met Xiao Luomu.
In Zhao Cheng's words, he likes this sense of contrast.
"Xiao Luomu's attitude is very firm. He would rather lose this business than abandon Su Ye. I really suspect that the two of them are having an affair!"
The club hasn't opened yet, but Zhao Cheng has already started training the technicians, and Wu Sisi's technique was learned on the spot.
"Mother Zheng found out that the reason Su Ye broke off her relationship with Chen Feier so quickly and slandered her in various ways was because she was seducing the daughter of the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue in Dongdu."
"This Su Ye is truly a wolf in sheep's clothing," Zhao Cheng sneered.
Chen Feier is the daughter of the Vice Minister of War, and now it's the Vice Minister of Revenue's turn... Son-in-law, wolf son-in-law, Wu Sisi laughed.
Zhao Cheng pulled his hand out from under Sisi's skirt, placed it under his nose, and said, "A person like Xiao Luomu is a very good candidate for a business partner. Let's put him aside for now; it's time for the wolf son-in-law."
"yes!"
"Here, use more force from below."
...
Su Wansan swayed his blue floral long gown, imitating the peacock in the large iron cage as he walked, occasionally raising his hands. The hem of his long sleeves and the upper body of his gown were connected, just like a peacock spreading its tail feathers.
The peacock being teased by Su Wansan remained unmoved, while a white peacock further away spread its tail feathers.
Su Wansan pointed at the blue peacock in front of him that hadn't spread its tail feathers and said, "You must have looked at me too much and your aesthetic sense has improved so much that you're unwilling to spread your tail feathers so easily."
"Excellent! Excellent!"
Su Wansan looked at the white peacock and said, "It's so sycophantic and pretentious. Throw it into the cage of wild beasts in the garden next door and see if it can survive a day."
"Yes!" a servant immediately replied.
Standing behind Su Wansan, Su Wanyi remained silent, while Su Ye lowered his head, staring at his toes, displaying a restrained demeanor he never showed in public.
The flamboyantly dressed man teasing the peacock was none other than Su Wansan, the richest man in Yanchuan. Although he looked lively and not as fierce as Su Wanyi, Su Ye knew that his third uncle actually had a very strange temper.
"How are things going between you and the daughter of the Vice Minister of Revenue?"
Although Su Wansan had his back to him, Su Ye knew he was being asked a question, so he quickly replied, "Don't worry, Uncle, it's already been settled! Let Xiaoxin talk to her parents first, and then I'll go and propose marriage!"
“What do I have to worry about? That’s your business. My Su family doesn’t need a relative like him, the Vice Minister of Revenue in the Eastern Capital. But he is very important to you personally.”
"Third Uncle is right!" Su Ye lowered her head even further.
Su Wansan fed the peacocks corn and said, "I have some news for you. A new Vice Minister of Revenue has taken office in Xidu. He came from Yanchuan. Do you know who it is?"
"Who?" Su Ye asked immediately.
Su Wanyi put his hands behind his back, glanced down, and said, "Marquis Qingdong?"
Su Wansan said, "It seems that elder brother had anticipated that Xu Shouli would go up there."
Su Wanyi said, "This Marquis had a very good relationship with the late Emperor. When the current Emperor was a child, the Marquis of Qingdong even held him. The fact that he spoke up for the Right Chancellor this time and was not suppressed by the Left Chancellor afterwards shows that the Emperor had already decided to entrust him with important responsibilities."
"What?!" Su Ye seemed very surprised.
"If the Vice Minister of Revenue in the Western Capital has too much influence, then the Minister and Vice Minister of Revenue in the Eastern Capital are just figureheads. So you might as well try to curry favor with Xu Shouli's son."
“Your third uncle is right,” Su Wanyi added. “Don’t forget that the Marquis of Qingdong came from Yanchuan City. Once he officially takes office, not only will the Ministry of Revenue in Dongdu be just a figurehead, but the entire economic structure of Yanchuan City will probably be affected.”
"Did you understand what your uncle said, you brat?"
Su Wansan then turned around. Although there were some silver strands in his hair, his face was fair and clean, like a man who had just entered middle age.
"Understood!" Su Ye said solemnly, "Xu An and I have a good relationship, and I will maintain it!"
"These days, you still have to be an official!"
Su Wansan sighed and looked at Su Ye, saying, "It's a pity my second brother left us too early."
Upon hearing this, Su Ye's eyes reddened. Among the older generation of the Su family, only his father was a scholar who had studied diligently for many years.
He originally hoped to pass the imperial examinations and achieve fame, but unfortunately he died young.
Su Wansan lay down on the bamboo chair next to the iron cage, closed his eyes and said, "I've found out where that big boss who sells soap you mentioned lives."
Su Ye's eyes suddenly lit up!
