Yuan Mengge sat down, looked at the man, and said, "I want to hire you as my agent."
The man paused slightly upon hearing this, looking at her with some confusion: "What? An agent?"
Yuan Mengge nodded and said, "Because I am young, it is not convenient for me in many ways, and I also have to go to school, so my time is limited. Therefore, I want to find someone to act as my agent for some things."
The man looked at her thoughtfully and said, "Why don't you ask your family for help? Why are you asking an outsider like me?"
Yuan Mengge: "Because I've cut ties with my family, I have no family now. Even if there are adults willing to help me, their abilities are limited. I believe in your abilities."
The man looked at her strangely: "How do you know my abilities? Do you know me?"
Then he chuckled and said, "Look at my place. If I were truly capable, I wouldn't have let this shop end up like this."
Yuan Mengge smiled slightly and said, "I know, you just need an opportunity. This shop wasn't originally yours, and you're not the one who ran it like this. Am I right?"
Upon hearing her words, the man looked at her with a probing gaze: "It seems you've inquired about a lot of things about me."
Yuan Mengge did not deny it, saying, "I know some of it."
She knew about this man because he had some connection with Li Xue'e's family.
This man is named Zheng Shaoying. Although he looks to be around thirty years old, he is actually only twenty-seven.
His father and Li Xue'e's father were comrades-in-arms. Because of the relationship between their fathers, Zheng Shaoying also knew the Li family.
In his previous life, he visited Li Xue'e in the hospital when she was sick.
Originally, their relationship was quite good, but the Zheng family was cheated by Li Xue'e's father and elder brother, which caused a major rift between the two families, and they basically stopped having any contact with them afterward.
Even so, when Li Xue'e was sick and in difficulty, he still visited her several times and helped her pay a lot of her medical expenses.
When Yuan Mengge first met him, she asked Li Xue'e curiously who he was.
Li Xue'e then told her everything about him and the Li family.
Three years before her marriage, Li Xue'e's older brother, Li Mingjun, suddenly said he wanted to start a decoration business. However, since he didn't have much money, he pulled in the Zheng family, who knew nothing about this field, to open a shop together.
This is the calm and collected renovation shop we have here now.
At that time, the Li family made empty promises and tricked them into spending a lot of money on renting storefronts, purchasing goods, and so on.
The majority of the bonuses came from the Zheng family, but not long after the store opened, Li Mingjun boasted that he had secured a hotel renovation project.
As a result of insufficient ability and lack of experience, the project quickly failed and an accident occurred, resulting in a significant financial loss.
This newly opened store is already losing money before it's even started doing any business.
After seeing that an accident had occurred, the Li family immediately shifted all the blame onto the Zheng family and then ran away.
Later, it was only thanks to the painstaking efforts of 24-year-old Zheng Shaoying that she was spared the fate of being sued and imprisoned.
That's when the relationship between the two families broke down.
Judging from Li Xue'e's tone, Zheng Shaoying used to take good care of her, even though they didn't see each other often.
But every time Zheng Shaoying went to the Li family, she would secretly bring her food and give her some pocket money.
Li Xue'e once said that she wished Zheng Shaoying were her own brother.
Because he treated her better than her own brother.
Looking at the timeline, Zheng Shaohuang was constantly running around dealing with messes for the past two years, so he is currently at a low point in his life.
Later I heard that he started the express delivery business again and gradually made it successful.
In other words, he is indeed capable; he just lacks an opportunity.
Yuan Mengge had gone to great lengths to find out the location of this store.
The Zheng Shaoying of today is completely different in spirit and energy from the one she saw in her past life.
When I saw him in my past life, he was already quite old, but he still looked very energetic.
Unlike now, he looks disheveled and颓废 (颓废 is a difficult word to translate directly, but it conveys a sense of list
"How did you know me?" Zheng Shaoying sat down at the table, glanced at the teapot, and then looked at her. "Would you like some tea?"
Yuan Mengge shook her head: "Boiling water is fine."
She continued, "As for how I met you... it was Sister Xue'e who told me."
Her words made Zheng Shaoying pause abruptly, his expression darkening slightly. He then turned to stare at her: "The Xue'e you're talking about... is it Li Xue'e from Heshui Town? And her father is Li Zhenguo?"
Yuan Mengge nodded: "Yes."
"Get out!" Upon hearing her reply, Zheng Shaoying suddenly pointed to the door and said coldly to her.
Yuan Mengge remained seated and said, "Sister Xue'e has run away from home and has no connection with her family anymore. Moreover, if you become my agent, I can help you clear your family's debts."
Upon hearing this, Zheng Shaoying's gaze froze for a moment, then she looked at her and asked, "She ran away from home? When? Where did you get the money to help me pay off my debts? Does this little girl not even think before she speaks?"
Over the past three years, he has indeed spent a considerable amount of money to clean up that mess and settle things.
He had to shamelessly beg people to lend him all this money.
We're now tens of thousands in debt.
Where would a little girl like her get so much money? She's not some rich girl.
Yuan Mengge said, "Did you know she got married two months ago? She married my brother, but they're divorced now. She's cut ties with her family and gone somewhere else."
When Zheng Shaoying heard that Li Xue'e had gotten married, she paused for a moment. When she heard that Li Xue'e had gotten divorced, she frowned, but quickly relaxed.
Finally, she said, "You just said you've cut ties with your family, and now you're saying she's cut ties with her family too. Is there some kind of conspiracy between you two?"
Yuan Mengge was both amused and exasperated by his words.
What kind of thought process is this?
But no matter what he thinks, none of that matters. What matters is the offer I made to him, which he shouldn't be able to refuse.
“That’s not important, and it has nothing to do with you. Whether I have money or not is the reason I need you to be my agent. If I didn’t have money, I wouldn’t need an agent, right?” she said calmly to Zheng Shaoying.
Zheng Shaoying looked at her thoughtfully: "How can I trust you?"
Yuan Mengge took a thick envelope from her bag and handed it to him, saying, "This is the deposit. If you agree, I can give you the money now. I will give you the rest of the money after you help me complete the first task."
Zheng Shaoying looked at the envelope in her hand, a hesitant expression on her face.
