Su Qingyu sighed inwardly. Since Bai Youxin had come to Beijing and had stated frankly that she was there to discuss marriage, there was no room for maneuver in this matter.
After all, it was the third cousin who was wronged by Miss Bai.
As for Ah Ci, she could only try her best to comfort her and find a good family for her.
Su Qingyu stood up and picked up a new cotton towel, rinsed it with warm water and wrung it dry, then gently wiped the tear marks from Su Shunci's face.
She didn't try to persuade her. It was useless to persuade her in such a matter. She had to figure it out and move on from it herself.
Besides, she wouldn't listen to any advice you give her at this time.
After a long time, Su Shunci picked up a cotton towel and wiped her face.
Then he asked Su Qingyu very seriously, "Big sister, am I in love with my third cousin?"
Su Qingyu reached out and gathered her hair, saying softly, "Maybe it's because he likes her, or maybe it's because you haven't had much contact with other men."
"You've been doing business together for the past few years, so naturally you've spent a lot of time together. This is human nature."
Su Shunci cried for a while and gradually became conscious.
Since my third cousin has repeatedly expressed his desire to marry Miss Bai, it means that he really likes Miss Bai.
She couldn't show any abnormality, as that would harm her third cousin and would also be unfair to Miss Bai.
Thinking of this, she took a deep breath and said, "Big sister, don't tell my third cousin about what happened today. Don't worry, I won't ruin my third cousin's marriage."
Su Qingyu felt even sadder when she heard her say that.
Ah Ci was still a child, at the age of falling in love for the first time, and just trying to figure out his own thoughts, but he had to go through such a thing.
But she couldn't say a word more, especially not what Lin Wuchen was thinking.
If it is true as my third cousin said, Miss Bai is the most innocent. We can only say that it is fate.
Su Shunci did not stay in the Shen family for long, for fear of affecting Su Qingyu's mood.
After leaving the Shen family, Su Shunci returned to Huajin Pavilion, where she led her staff to check the accounts and inventory in the warehouse.
For three consecutive days, Su Shunci hardly even returned to Prince Ning's Mansion. She only slept for two hours a day and was busy the rest of the time.
The guys at Huajin Pavilion were all confused and didn't know what was wrong with their boss.
These days, she was busy with work in the shop, but her mind was also busy, thinking about sea shipping.
Her third cousin was getting married, so she shouldn't do business with him anymore. Regardless of anything else, she had to consider what Miss Bai thought.
In the future, even if my third cousin partners with someone, he will be in partnership with the Bai family.
Su Shunci thought about the shipping in his mind, then called in Zhao Da, the manager beside him. "I remember you said last time that your hometown is in the south. Is everyone in your village able to swim?"
Zhao Da replied, "Yes, I still keep in touch with my family through letters."
Su Shunci instructed: "Send a letter back home and tell them we are looking for workers who can go out to sea on the ship."
Zhao Da was stunned. "Miss, we went out on the Lin family's boat before, and most of the people on the boat were from the Lin family. Miss, are you saying that we should get our own boat out?"
Su Shunci nodded, business still had to be done and money still had to be earned.
She also plans to make a trip south herself, and in the next few years, all her energy will be focused on shipping.
She sensed that this was an opportunity. Not many people in the Great Zhou were doing shipping business because the sea was not peaceful.
After King Xuanwu's new warships go to sea, severely damage the Japanese pirates, and clear out the sea thieves, there will definitely be more people eyeing the shipping business.
She has to expand this business before most people realize it.
Although Zhao Da didn't know the reason, he grinned after hearing Su Shunci's decision.
"Don't worry, Miss. I will definitely take care of this matter."
Following such a boss, he felt that there was a future. The boss was aiming to make a lot of money, and their lives would be much better.
Su Shunci added, "I'll tell you when I've figured out how to pay you. Don't worry, our wages won't be low."
"Even if an accident really happens while out at sea, we will still give you the compensation you deserve."
Zhao Da was naturally relieved about this. The wages at Huajin Pavilion were the same as those at other shops on the market. However, the boss would give them extra rewards every month, and the annual festival rewards were even more generous.
"You go down first. I'll call you if there's anything." Su Shunci lowered his head and calculated the cost of doing shipping business alone.
Zhao Da bowed and retreated. When he turned around, he almost bumped into Lin Wuchen who was standing at the door.
Just as he was about to speak, he saw Lin Wuchen shaking his head. Zhao Da understood and went out.
After Lin Wuchen came in, he stood in front of the desk and stared at Su Shunci for a few seconds before saying, "Don't you want to be my partner anymore?"
Su Shunci raised her head and found that it was Lin Wuchen who had returned.
Although his heart was numb with pain, Su Shunci still looked calm.
He stood up, took two steps back, and bowed, "Hello, third cousin."
When Lin Wuchen thought of the contents of her letter, his heart felt like it was being cut by a knife.
"There's no need to be polite between us."
Su Shunci shook her head and said, "Etiquette cannot be abandoned. I was young and ignorant before. If I act so casually again, I will be laughed at."
Afterwards, Su Shunci asked Lin Wuchen to sit down, ordered someone to serve tea, and then started talking about sea transportation.
She didn't mention Bai Youxin, only saying that the partnership wasn't a long-term solution. To avoid future trouble, it would be better to separate as soon as possible.
Of course, she was grateful to Lin Wuchen for bringing her into the shipping business. So if the Lin family needed any help in the future, she would definitely do her best to help.
Lin Wuchen had no time to think about sea transportation. He originally thought that even if he got married, it would not affect his business.
