"What I mean is that only my own people are reliable. I want to ask Mr. Chu if he is willing to cooperate with me and open a shop together so that more people can own these beautiful things."
After Murong Shu finished speaking, Chu Ming took a while to find his voice. He asked in disbelief, "Madam Wen San means that all the things I made can be sold?"
"Of course, I plan to open a shop. I have a lot of blueprints and patterns in my hand. You can study them, Mr. Chu."
Murong Shu's words were very tempting to Chu Ming, and he agreed without hesitation, "Madam Wen San, Chu Ming is willing."
"Brother Ming, your elder sister supports you. I will pay for the money that Shu'er needs to open the shop." Chu really loves her younger brother. Even if she is scolded by their father this time, she will still help her brother.
"My cousin, there's no need for that. Mr. Chu can invest with his skills." Murong Shu had already thought about it.
"Shu'er means that brother Ming only needs to provide his skills. How can this be possible? Opening a shop requires money." Chu is also the mistress of the house. If she knows about the business of the shop, she naturally doesn't want Murong Shu to suffer any loss.
"My cousin, what you said is wrong. Sometimes craftsmanship is more important than money. I believe that Mr. Chu can make something unique." Murong Shu is well aware of the importance of craftsmanship.
"But...."
"Cousin, no buts. Let's let Mr. Chu decide this matter himself!" After saying that, the two of them looked at Chu Ming together.
"Elder sister, Third Madam Wen, I am willing and will not let Third Madam down." Chu Ming bowed solemnly to Murong Shu, thanking Murong Shu for his recognition.
"In that case, let's talk about the profit sharing." Xiao Tao had just made some tea, and they talked about the details while drinking tea.
"Mr. Chu invested his craftsmanship and gets 30% of the shares. I invested my drawings and also get 30% of the shares. The eldest and second sisters-in-law invested money and opened the shop and each got 20%. Does Mr. Chu have any objection?"
Murong Shu had already thought of all this. She didn't want to take advantage, but she also wouldn't suffer any loss. Doing business requires win-win cooperation.
"Shu'er gave too much to Brother Ming." Chu was the first to object.
"Third Madam, my eldest sister is right. I just offer a skill, how can it take up so much?" Chu Ming also felt that it was too much.
"Not much, not much. Craftsmanship is extremely precious. It's OK as long as Mr. Chu doesn't think it's too little." Murong Shu is willing to cooperate with sincere people and will not treat sincere people unfairly.
"Not a small amount, not a small amount. The Third Madam gave too much." Chu Ming was a little flattered. He had never met Murong Shu before, but seeing him today made him feel very comfortable. The Third Madam did not discriminate against his craftsmanship. On the contrary, she was very respectful.
"Since Master Chu has no objection, I will write the agreement and contract and bring it to Master Chu for signature when my husband returns home later. Also, I wonder if Master Chu knows a skilled master who can help Master Chu. It's too tiring to handle it alone."
Murong Shu wants to become bigger and stronger, so naturally he needs to hire more people so that he can be more efficient.
"To be honest with you, Madam Third, Xiao Si in my yard knows how to cook. I also have a good friend who is also good at cooking. If you don't mind, Madam Third, I will ask them to help." The first person Chu Ming thought of was a good friend of his.
"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Chu. We will offer higher wages and go for the high-end route. You will understand later. I am pregnant now and it is not convenient for me. Once you have found someone, just follow the blueprint and I will find a shop, and we will open the business."
Murong Shu entrusted the task of finding workers to Chu Ming, and she believed that Chu Ming would not let her down.
"Don't worry, Madam Third, Chu Ming will definitely evaluate the workers carefully." Chu Ming was fully prepared to do this. He could finally do it openly.
“Third Madam, can you keep it a secret for now? I’m afraid my father…” Chu Ming had heard too many negative comments and he didn’t want to be disappointed again.
Murong Shu understood Chu Ming's situation and encouraged him, "Mr. Chu, we make a living by our own skills. There is nothing to be ashamed of. We should not only do it, but also promote it vigorously. We can hide it for a while, but not forever. I have my own way to get your father's consent."
Murong Shu just wanted to clear Chu Ming's name. It is not shameful to have a skill to support oneself.
"Third Madam, Chu Ming understands." Chu Ming was very determined this time. It was rare for him to meet someone who understood him, so what did those words of criticism matter to him?
"Mr. Chu, this small desk is made for the little prince. If Lord Chu asks, you must answer truthfully." Murong Shu said to the Chu siblings with a smile.
"Are you serious, Shu'er?" Mrs. Chu was very excited.
"Of course, after the little prince's done, the little golden grandson of the Wen family, the prince of Zhenshan King, the granddaughter of the general's family..." Murong Shu said this deliberately, just to convey a message to Chu Ming, we are really high-end, you have to have confidence.
Chu Ming was dumbfounded. What the Third Madam said was so exciting. He originally thought it was just opening a store, but now it involved so many royal relatives and aristocratic families.
"Does Master Chu have confidence?"
"Chu Ming will definitely live up to his mission!"
"It's not that serious, let's just do our best!" Murong Shu felt that it was just a business, I provide services and goods, you just pay the money.
After they discussed the details, Chu took Chu Ming away. Obviously, the brother and sister were both confused, as this was simply a piece of cake.
"Brother Ming, you just follow the Third Madam and work hard. You will definitely succeed this time!" Chu now wanted to kowtow to Murong Shu, who was truly the savior of her brother.
"Don't worry, elder sister." Chu Ming swore in his heart that he would do his best. This opportunity might be the only one he would get in his life.
After Wen Jing returned home in the evening, Murong Shu told Wen Jing about the plan to open a furniture shop together with his eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, and Chu Ming, and naturally received Wen Jing's strong support.
"My wife is still pregnant, so let me do anything." Wen Jing was afraid that his wife would be tired.
"Then my husband can help write four copies of the contract." This is free labor.
Wen Jing would not let his elder and second brothers go, so he said to Ting Feng, "Go to the courtyard of the elder and second masters and tell them to go to the study."
"I understand, Third Master." Ting Feng received the order from his master and hurried to the courtyard of the first and second masters.
The two thought something had happened and rushed over in a hurry. It turned out that they were asked to write a contract. They didn't dare to say anything because they had to support their wives' careers. But they didn't want to write the Chu family's share. Wen Ye happened to be on duty with Master Chu, so they decided to let Master Chu write it for his son tomorrow.
When the two returned to the yard, they were scolded by their own wife again, asking how could they ask for such a large share. They thought that the three sisters-in-law had discussed it beforehand, but they were inexplicably blamed.
At this time, the culprit Wen Jingze was asking his wife for praise, thinking that signing a contract was such a simple matter, and the eldest and second brothers said nothing.
