"A solution? If you had a solution, why would you be looking so worried?" Gu Beiyi said slowly, "How about this, I'll lend you the money first. As for when you'll pay it back, that depends on when you earn the money. If you feel you can't pay it back in a short time, then let's sign an agreement. We'll stick to the agreement, no matter what happens."
This is a good suggestion; we can consider it.
Just the content of the agreement?
Rong Mu hesitated. He had never encountered such a situation before and really didn't know what the contents of the agreement usually were.
Seeing Rong Mu's hesitation, Gu Beiyi glanced at Rong Sheng, signaling her to persuade him to agree, otherwise Rong Mu would have no way to buy or rent the shop.
Rong Sheng received Gu Beiyi's gaze, considered the pros and cons, and pulled Rong Mu aside. "Third Brother, I think Gu Sanniu's suggestion is excellent. If Father and Mother don't agree with you doing business, they won't agree now. Let's secretly open the shop, and tell Father and Mother when we make money. By then, they definitely won't object to you anymore! If we lose money, Sheng Bao will help you make up for it as soon as possible!"
"How can we make up for it?" Rong Mu's mind went blank; he hadn't expected Rong Sheng to be so formidable.
Rong Sheng said helplessly, "Third Brother, have you forgotten? I am a doctor! As long as I treat more patients, I can receive a lot of rewards, which I can use to support you! Also, I can make rouge and face powder. From now on, I will make rouge and face powder every day. You can sell the rouge and face powder I make, and you can keep the money to do business."
"If you make money in the future, indulge Sheng Bao's vanity as much as possible. If you lose money and your parents don't know, and you feel guilty, then go out and work to earn money, gaining experience as you go. Then you can pay Sheng Bao back or open another shop and start a business."
Rong Sheng's words resonated with Rong Mu. It wasn't that he couldn't afford any money; it was just far too little, a drop in the ocean!
But he didn't want to use Sheng Bao's money, especially since it was money that Sheng Bao had worked so hard to earn. It made him, a grown man, lose face and feel ashamed.
Especially if you lose money, you'll feel even more ashamed.
"Third Brother, I know what you're thinking. If you don't want me to suffer, then borrow Gu Sanniu's money. Gu Sanniu is very rich. You know he's been in the army for ten years. Every soldier receives a military salary, but he hasn't used any of his ten years' salary. The Gu family hasn't received a single penny either."
Rong Mu felt this suggestion was more reliable: "But Sheng Bao, your third brother has never done anything like this before. Even though he knows a lot about it, he has no experience. I'm worried..."
“So Gu Sanniu has experience? Third Brother, don’t be timid, you have to take a gamble, otherwise you will never realize your dream of making money in business!” Rong Sheng said.
"Let Third Brother think about it carefully!"
"good!"
Whether it was Rong Sheng's suggestion or Gu Beiyi's suggestion, it was very tempting to Rong Mu. However, he did not want Rong Sheng to suffer with him, so he leaned more towards Gu Beiyi.
But the agreement Gu Beiyi mentioned...
Never mind, I'll just borrow money from Gu Beiyi and pay him back when I make some!
So Rong Mu pulled Rong Sheng to Gu Beiyi's side, staring intently at him, his tone steady and expectant: "Gu Sanniu, I've decided, I'll borrow this money from you, but you're right, if an agreement must be drawn up, no matter what, I will definitely pay you back! But, I don't know what your requirements are?"
Gu Beiyi smiled: "Requirements? Yes! But I believe you can meet them easily!"
"What are your requirements?" As long as you don't make things difficult for him, he will definitely agree.
"I have three requests. First, don't stop me from seeing Rong Sheng. Second, go home and properly persuade your family not to be too hostile. I haven't done anything. Your behavior makes me feel like I've done something to wrong the Rong family. Third, since you've never done business before and are a complete novice, you need experience. I will ask someone to come and help you, but you must..."
At this point, Gu Beiyi didn't continue. Instead, he thought carefully and said, "There's no need to bring up this third request for now, since you haven't started your business yet or decided what kind of business to do. We'll talk about it later. But my request won't be too difficult. I definitely won't make things difficult for you or cause you any trouble!"
I just want you to sign a contract of servitude, to sell yourself to me for the rest of your life, and make me work hard to earn money!!
The first and second requirements were not difficult for Rong Mu, but he couldn't meet them.
Because his parents disliked Gu Beiyi, although he didn't know why, his parents always had their reasons for doing things, and he dared not disobey them.
"Could you change your requirements a few more times? These requirements are very difficult for me!"
"I have no other demands!" Gu Beiyi said coldly, "You can agree if you want, or you can disagree if you don't. I won't force you, but as for this money... I won't lend it to you!"
But he will definitely find a way to get Rong Mu to agree, and then find some excuses to teach Rong Mu a lesson. So the sooner he agrees, the less suffering he will endure.
“You…” Isn’t this coercion? Rong Mu was speechless.
Rong Sheng was speechless at Gu Beiyi's behavior. If he wasn't targeting her, she would have thought he had ulterior motives.
"Rong Mu, the first and second requests are very simple for you!" In order to get Rong Mu to agree quickly, Gu Beiyi made up a story: "The reason why I asked you not to stop me from being with Rong Sheng is not because I want to be with Rong Sheng, but because in Zhonggui Village, only Rong Sheng is familiar with you and your family, and only your family treats me the best."
"The only reason your family doesn't dislike me is because they took me in, cared for me, and helped me. I want to thank you properly. I have no other intentions towards Rong Sheng!" As he said this, Gu Beiyi's gaze fell on Rong Sheng's face. Seeing that Rong Sheng didn't show any unhappy expression, he felt slightly relieved. "Therefore, I don't want you to dislike me or stop me from associating with you because of a small misunderstanding."
Hearing Gu Beiyi say this, Rong Mu felt that they had indeed done something wrong and that they shouldn't have treated Gu Beiyi like that.
They had dealt with Gu Beiyi quite a bit before, but Gu Beiyi had never said a word.
He only endured it because his family treated him well.
“Third Brother, these requirements can all be written into the agreement. You can also make demands of Gu San Niu based on these three requirements, so don’t worry about anything,” Rong Sheng reminded him.
Rong Mu's dark eyes lit up: "Alright, I agree!"
