Madam Xie was still in a daze when Xie Zhiyi led Gu Xin and the others into the hall.
"Mom, brother is back! He brought Xinxin and her sister... Huh? Where's brother?" Xie Zhiyi suddenly realized she didn't know what her little sister was doing there. She turned around and saw that her brother had disappeared.
Gu Xin smiled and stepped forward, bowing: "This humble woman, Gu Xin, greets Madam Xie."
Gu Hui followed suit.
Gu Shouxin personally taught several children etiquette, and it's been almost a year now. Most people really can't find any mistakes in it.
Madam Xie came to her senses and smiled as she asked the two sisters to sit down.
Gu Xin said, "Madam Xie, I heard from Young Master Xie that you are interested in doing business with our family. You want to buy our toiletries sets and sell them in Yuzhou Prefecture. Is that alright?"
Madam Xie raised an eyebrow and glanced at Gu Hui.
Is the person in charge of this household a junior employee?
Nanfeng said that their family has powerful connections. Judging from Nanfeng's expression, they probably suffered a loss and the deal didn't go well!
Madam Xie had no idea that her good son had been beaten because he had tried to steal someone else's secret recipe.
Madam Xie nodded: "Miss Gu, since your parents couldn't reach an agreement with my son, why did you and your sister come to talk to me?"
Gu Xin gave a perfectly timed smile, the kind she'd learned from Cai Xiaolian: "Madam Xie, you don't know this, but in our family, we sisters can make decisions about business matters. However, the elders in the family think that Young Master Xie is rather reckless and perhaps not capable of making decisions. Therefore, they had to send us sisters to discuss this in person."
Madam Xie was somewhat surprised and also angry.
My child is reckless, but your parents aren't?
Sending a young girl to make decisions, aren't you afraid she'll be bullied?
Madam Xie sat there calmly, and Gu Xin was not flustered at all. She even picked up her teacup to drink some water. She had just chatted with Xie Zhiyi for a while and was feeling a bit thirsty!
Madam Xie smiled as she watched Gu Xin's unhurried movements. These two girls are quite composed!
Xie Zhiyi ran to Madam Xie's side: "Mom, you're going to do business with them on shampoo and conditioner sets! That's great! Does that mean our family can get all the scented soaps, toothpastes, and shampoos right away?"
Before Madam Xie could speak, Gu Xin said, "Miss Xie, we have launched some new products. We have several new fragrances, and also a conditioner. As the name suggests, this conditioner is for protecting hair. For someone like Miss Xie with thick, black, and shiny hair, this conditioner is perfect. I guarantee that after using it, your hair will be even blacker, shinier, and more beautiful!"
Xie Zhiyi's eyes lit up, and she touched her hair: "Wow! Really! Xinxin, your family is amazing!"
Gu Xin smiled and said nothing more.
Xie Zhiyi grabbed Madam Xie's arm with both hands: "Mom, Mom, hurry up and talk to Xinxin! Once you've settled things, we'll go to Xinxin's house to get the goods as soon as possible! I want to use them right away!"
Madam Xie glared at Xie Zhiyi.
Madam Xie felt a pang of sadness. She had one son and one daughter, while her concubine in the backyard had given birth to two sons and three daughters.
This son, born to her as the head of the household, is not as capable as the sons born to other people's concubines. Her useless son is neither good at studying nor good at martial arts. He is just like his father, always wanting to hang out with women.
She always thought her daughter was the best, but compared to the young lady from the Gu family in front of her, she was simply not good enough.
For example, her daughter wouldn't dare to go to other states alone to do business, let alone have the insight and brains to do so.
