Chapter 214 Coincidence?
After establishing a foothold in Ruijin County, Shen Yuling became restless and began to travel far and wide, hoping to expand his business empire.
Another year passed, and this year, Shen Yuling came to Haiyu City.
This was the place where Feng Moheng was exiled by Quan Minghe. It was a remote area with a declining economy and relatively backward politics.
The reason why Haiyu City did not develop well was because the land was salinized, agricultural production was poor, and the Gan Dynasty emphasized agriculture, so the city's development was restricted.
But there can be other developments besides agriculture.
One day.
The sunlight shines through the mottled clouds onto the streets and alleys of Haiyu City.
Shen Yuling, wearing a light and elegant silk dress and with a graceful figure, came to a large restaurant.
She originally came to discuss cooperation with a merchant, but the moment she stepped into the box, she saw a familiar face.
Ye Jinshu?
How come I can run into him everywhere?
"Mr. Ye?"
Seeing this, Boss Li, a merchant nearby, said with a big smile on his face: "Mrs. Shen and Mr. Ye know each other, so I won't introduce them to each other."
Boss Li knew the identity behind Mr. Ye. Since Mrs. Shen was acquainted with Mr. Ye, he naturally did not dare to neglect her in the slightest.
Ye Jinshu stood up, tall and slender, with a gentle smile on her face.
"Mrs. Shen, please sit down. I told you that I used to do business. This time I happened to come to Haiyu City. I heard my old friend, Boss Li Zhiwu, talking about you. I thought it was fate, so I came here to have a meal with Mrs. Shen. Maybe we can cooperate a little."
Shen Yuling nodded slightly. Although her face was covered with a veil, a barely perceptible suspicion flashed in her eyes.
happen?
She has never believed that there are so many coincidences in the world.
But there was nothing to say, so he just sat aside.
Boss Li was secretly surprised.
General Ye used to be his boss, but later joined the army. According to common sense, one could no longer do business once he entered the officialdom.
So this time, when Boss Li heard that General Ye was going to have dinner with Mrs. Shen, who had just arrived in Haiyu City, he was filled with surprise and curiosity.
Listening to what General Ye just said, could it be that General Ye has developed feelings for Madam Shen?
But this Mrs. Shen is a widow and has a son.
Although she was wearing a veil, she was a beauty just by looking at her posture. However, as a woman who had to show her face in public and engage in business, she did not seem to be a match for the young and promising General Ye.
In the restaurant's private room, the aroma of tea wafted through the air and the dishes were exquisite, but Shen Yuling seemed to be out of the picture and was absent-minded throughout the meal.
Boss Li seemed to see through Ye Jinshu's thoughts. He kept talking between her and Ye Jinshu, and each time he cleverly brought the topic to the two of them.
He looked so attentive, as if he was deliberately trying to bring them together.
Shen Yuling lowered her eyes, fiddling with the food in the bowl with the chopsticks in her hand, but her thoughts drifted far away.
Is it true, as 001 said, that Ye Jinshu is destined to fall in love with her?
In modern times, she and Ye Lan Ze were childhood sweethearts. She was beautiful, lively, talented, and the daughter of a wealthy family. Ye Lan Ze fell in love with her, but she just thought it was just the result of their friendship as young people and did not find it strange.
When she came to the ancient times, she and Ye Jinshu were childhood sweethearts, but for her own purposes, she deliberately maintained the vague feelings between her and Ye Jinshu.
She had been calculating Ye Jinshu's love, and it was within her expectation that Ye Jinshu would love her.
But she had made Ye Jinshu forget everything in the past. He had only met her once in Ruijin County and had never even seen what she looked like, but he chased her all the way to Haiyu City.
Has he always fallen in love with her at first sight?
Shen Yuling's eyes were a little vague.
However, she quickly adjusted her thoughts and focused back on the business.
He spoke in an orderly manner about his plans for the development of fisheries in Haiyu City.
"If the fishery in Haiyu City is to develop, it cannot be limited to the nearby villagers, but fresh sea fish must be transported out. This involves ice transportation. In summer, a large number of ice cellars are needed, and in winter, the problem of transportation difficulties must be solved..."
She spoke eloquently, laying out her ideas that she had already carefully thought out.
Boss Li's original look of contempt was gradually replaced by shock as she spoke.
He didn't expect that the seemingly weak woman in front of him had such a keen business acumen and unique insights.
Ye Jinshu also listened very carefully.
His eyes followed Shen Yuling closely, and he admired her more and more.
As Shen Yuling spoke, she gave practical suggestions based on actual conditions.
Ye Jinshu knows a lot about transportation.
The roads in Haiyu City are rugged, and even more difficult in windy and rainy weather. The existing means of transportation also have many shortcomings.
But Shen Yuling was able to accurately analyze these problems and propose corresponding solutions, which made Ye Jinshu look at her with even greater admiration.
An inexplicable throbbing spread deeper and deeper in my heart, following me like a shadow.
After dinner, Shen Yuling caught a glimpse of something special in Ye Jinshu's eyes.
My heart sank.
Boss Li seemed to have sensed something strange in the air and tactfully left in a hurry. The moment he closed the door, the atmosphere in the private room became even quieter.
Shen Yuling took a sip of tea and spoke slowly, her voice clear but a little distant: "Mr. Ye is indeed knowledgeable, experienced in business, steady and mature."
Her words came from the heart. After talking with Ye Jinshu, she indeed learned a lot from him.
Although he has done marketing with the help of some modern ingenuity, studied business books and abundant funds, Ye Jinshu is undoubtedly gifted and has unique and profound insights into business.
Ye Jinshu nodded slightly, and said modestly: “Mrs. Shen is the one I admire.”
His eyes were always on Shen Yuling, and his expression of concentration was not concealed at all, as if nothing in the world was as important as her at this moment.
Shen Yuling sighed inwardly and decided to get straight to the point: "Mr. Ye looks over 20 years old, can we get married?"
Ye Jinshu was slightly startled, then responded calmly: "No."
Shen Yuling raised her eyebrows slightly, with a faint smile on her lips: "It seems that Mr. Ye has very high standards. Are you ready to choose carefully?"
Ye Jinshu frowned slightly, as if he was a little dissatisfied with this statement: "No, I just want to find a woman I like. I don't care about her identity or her experience. As long as I like her, it's fine."
Shen Yuling raised her eyebrows jokingly and asked, "Could it be that a woman like me who has been married and has a child also have a chance?"
Ye Jinshu did not hesitate at all and responded immediately: "Of course! Madam Shen is extremely capable, not inferior to men, well-spoken, and has an outstanding temperament. Even if I have never seen Madam Shen's appearance, I would..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Shen Yuling.
"Mr. Ye, I have no plans to remarry. I just want to enjoy life and everything I have worked hard for. I wish you to find your true love."
Although Shen Yuling's voice was gentle, her tone revealed an unquestionable firmness.
She stood up, bowed slightly, and saluted, "Goodbye."
After saying that, she turned and walked out of the private room.
At the door, Shen Yuling's guards had been waiting for a long time. When they saw her come out, they immediately followed her in an orderly manner.
Whenever she goes out, she is always accompanied by bodyguards. After all, as a woman, and having worked in the business world, it is inevitable that she will attract jealousy.
In this world, protecting yourself is the most important thing.
Inside the private room, Ye Jinshu sat there in a daze.
He didn't expect that he would be rejected so cleanly and thoroughly.
But soon, his eyes became firm again.
Ye Jinshu is definitely not someone who gives up easily.
Since I have finally met someone who makes my heart beat faster, I would not be Ye Jinshu if I don’t fight for him/her.
Just because she enjoys life doesn't mean he can't like her.
