He Youyou returned to the carriage and saw Ma Xiuyuan nervously rubbing his hands.
Ugh, I can't bear to look.
"How is it?" Matthew Yuan finally couldn't hold back and spoke first.
"Don't worry, she'll get better."
At this moment, Matthew Yuan became more attentive.
He noticed that He Youyou didn't say "she's fine," but rather "she will get better."
That means... she's not doing well right now?
Seeing his panicked little eyes, He Youyou knew exactly what he was thinking.
I immediately told him about the cooperation I had just discussed with Xiaoyu, so that he could rest assured.
After hearing this, Matthew Yuan finally relaxed.
Then he said with great magnanimity, "I'll pay for the investment in the dyehouse! Madam Han, you only need to show your face, and you'll still get the profits."
He Youyou glared at him.
"Mr. Ma, when I invest in someone, I'm only after profit; I'll never let emotions get in. If there's money to be made, I'll get involved; if not, I'll leave without a second thought. Even with my own brothers, I wouldn't get involved in a business that doesn't make money. What about you?"
Matthew Yuan was instantly silenced.
What about him?
It's all about feelings, not about interests.
He scratched his head.
He Youyou added, "Doing business requires absolute rationality. You can't understand the dyeing business, so don't get involved."
Investing is not charity. Want to be a good Samaritan? You might as well go to a temple.
"Then... Xiaoyu... I'll leave her in your care."
"Stop it. I'm using her to make money, not to clean up her messes. If she knows her worth and is willing to stand up for herself, no one can stop her. If she wants to fall, no one can stop her either. Heaven helps those who help themselves. She's not a three-year-old. I believe she'll understand this."
Matthew saw that she was completely unresponsive and had no other choice.
All I could do was silently pray that the deal would go smoothly.
He Youyou pondered all the way.
After much deliberation, it seems the task of finding a manager still falls to Cheng Tingrui.
Back in her alley, she didn't go back to the He residence, but instead knocked on the door next door.
The doorman next door was arranged by Manager Qian.
Seeing that it was their mistress who had come, they dared not be negligent and invited her directly into the main hall.
A servant quickly went to inform Cheng Tingrui, who was in the study.
He Youyou was impatient and didn't want to wait in the main hall, so she simply followed them to the study.
A stick of incense was burning in the study.
Cheng Tingrui was wearing a black crane-feather cloak and looking at the account books.
Upon hearing the servant say that Madam Han had arrived, he suddenly turned his head toward the door.
A clear gaze pierced through the curling smoke of cigarette smoke.
Seeing He Youyou appear at the door, he adjusted his crane cloak and stood up to greet her.
"What brings you here today?"
He Youyou's gaze swept around the study.
"Minzhi, are you settling in well here? If you need anything, just tell them. Don't be shy. If the servants forget to get anything, remember to remind them so you don't suffer any injustice."
Cheng Tingrui curled his lips into a smile, lowered his head, and personally pulled over a chair, placing it opposite the desk.
"sit."
He Youyou is not one to be polite.
I went over and sat down.
He even reached into Cheng Tingrui's teapot and poured himself a cup of tea.
Cheng Tingrui returned to his seat opposite him, smiling faintly without saying a word.
After she gulped down a cup of tea, he asked, "Why are you so thirsty? Where did you just come from?"
He Youyou put down her teacup: "I just went to the dye shop."
"Madam Han doesn't visit without a reason. You've come to see me today, is there something you need?"
"Something's up."
"What is it?"
"Does your Cheng family's business have any experienced managers? Help me poach one; I'll offer a high salary."
Cheng Tingrui asked, puzzled, "Why do you want to poach my manager?"
He Youyou then recounted her plan to invest in the dyeing workshop.
Shen Huaiyu was in charge of technology and production at the Shen family dyehouse, but lacked management experience.
To ensure the normal operation of the dyehouse and achieve profitability as soon as possible, an experienced and reliable manager is needed to handle the operational management.
Cheng Tingrui's eyes flashed after hearing this.
"I cannot give you the position of manager of the Cheng family business."
He Youyou said with dissatisfaction, "Your Cheng family is such a big business, you must have a lot of talent in reserve, can't you even give me a manager? Are you being too stingy, Mr. Cheng?"
Cheng Tingrui couldn't help but chuckle when he saw her temper flare up again.
With a smile in her eyes, she said, "But I can give you someone you can rely on."
He Youyou remained silent.
Cheng Er, when are you going to get rid of this habit of speaking in such a breathy manner?
An impatient person can't tolerate even a little bit.
"There's a shop assistant in the Cheng family business that I've had my eye on for a while now. In terms of talent, courage, and vision, he's no less than a manager."
He Youyou rolled her eyes: "Master Cheng has had his eye on this person for so long, but he hasn't promoted him yet. Could it be that he's thinking of..."
Cheng Tingrui knew that He Youyou had seen through his thoughts, so he did not deny it.
He smiled slightly: "That's right, that's exactly what I wanted to do, to get him into the management branch of Youruitang."
Chatting with He Youyou always saves me half the trouble of talking.
Because they can see through each other's thoughts.
They're all seasoned businessmen; who's less cunning than the other?
"So now you've changed your mind and are trying to give him to me instead of sending him to Youruitang, is there something you're worried about?"
"Yes. After all, he comes from the Cheng family business. I'm still a bit hesitant about letting him know about my relationship with Youruitang. Since you happen to need someone, I'll take this opportunity to introduce him to you."
"He's doing well in the Cheng family, he should know that, and he'll soon be given an important position. The Cheng family is a giant, while the dye shop is just starting out; there's a significant gap between the two. If I want to poach him, what conditions would I need to offer to succeed?"
Cheng Tingrui lowered his eyes and fiddled with a celadon brush rest on the table.
"What if... I could make him feel underappreciated and ostracized at Shengyuanxiang?"
hiss--
He Youyou gasped.
She wasn't mistaken.
Cheng Tingrui is indeed no good person.
Like her, he has a low moral standard.
He Youyou and Cheng Tingrui are both people with very strong goals.
People like this have a greater chance of success.
A few days later, thanks to Cheng Tingrui's behind-the-scenes maneuvering, He Youyou successfully met this very talented young man.
