"You want me to help you three open a shop? Do you really dare to think so? Do you know how much money it costs to open a new shop and how much preparation work is required?"
Madam Shen looked at Liu Wanyun as if she were a monster.
She didn't know whether the woman didn't understand or felt very shameless to make such a request.
Just because he provided a drawing, he dared to ask for an exorbitant price!
Liu Wanyun still had her usual smile on her face. "Of course I don't understand, so I begged Auntie for help. We asked the three Chaodong brothers to help take care of it, but Auntie didn't agree. So, I have no choice but to trouble Auntie to teach us and guide us~"
"Why should I help you open a shop? Can your drawings be worth so much money?"
Liu Wanyun shrugged, somewhat helplessly. "I don't know how much my drawing is worth. It all depends on how well it sells. If Auntie thinks it's not worth it, we can just take a step back. Xiaoyu's shop is in the west of the city, not far from Auntie's. Why not rent it to Auntie? She can open her own shop and pay us rent every month. A rent of 30% more than others will do..."
"What a joke! Liu Wanyun, do you think I'm stupid? I have to pay 30% more than others to rent your shop? You're crazy about money!"
Mrs. Shen had a look of sarcasm on her face. She thought that her daughter-in-law was just sharp-tongued and good at talking, but she didn't know that she had a lot of plans in her head and was even thinking about her family's money.
"If Auntie feels like she's been shortchanged, then forget it. Ask Shopkeeper Wu to return my manuscript. I'll ask Grandfather if he wants it. I think he's quite interested. Maybe he'll offer a higher price? Give me a dividend every month!"
Having said that, Liu Wanyun prepared to go out and call back Manager Wu.
"return!"
Mrs. Shen knew that she was being threatened, but she had to compromise. If the manuscript was given to Mr. Shen, how would her shop turn around?
"How about this, if this dress really sells well, I'll give you fifty taels a month."
Liu Wanyun shook her head. "Auntie, this so-called good sales volume is hard to define. Why not calculate it based on revenue and give us 30% of the profit?"
Mrs. Shen's voice rose again, "Liu Wanyun, you're getting too greedy, huh? You're asking for 30%. I'm paying for all the costs and manpower, and you're asking for 30% just for producing a manuscript? You're overthinking!"
"Auntie, you don't understand. This is my technology, core technology! I have a very flexible mind! I will continue to update it later!"
Liu Wanyun chuckled and backed off, "Then 20%?"
Mrs. Shen continued to bargain, “10%.”
"Okay! Deal!"
Liu Wanyun readily agreed, which made Mrs. Shen regret it instantly. She felt like she was being tricked again.
In fact, this is Liu Wanyun's strategy. It is the experience she learned when she accompanied her leader on business trips. She first puts forward a request that exceeds expectations, and then slowly lowers it to the expected goal. This relaxes the other party's vigilance and makes the other party feel that they have compromised, thus achieving her own goal.
The words were out, and it was hard to go back on them, so Mrs. Shen had no choice but to admit it.
But she was unwilling to give up and wanted to find some fault with something else. She stared into Liu Wanyun's eyes, trying to see through her. "You look so weak and delicate, but your mind is so clever and calculating. Back then, when you were snooping around our Shen family, were you planning how to marry into our family and live a good life?"
The goal had been achieved, and Liu Wanyun was in the mood for a chat. She chuckled and said without hesitation, "How could it be our plan? Didn't Auntie have someone read our horoscopes and think we were auspicious?"
Madam Shen glanced at the doorway nonchalantly, then asked with a half-smile, "Ha! Did you know I was interested in you then? Then why did you pretend to be a nun and help me interpret the fortune at the Marriage Temple? And why did you spread rumors that the young master of the Shen family was ill?"
"Auntie, what you said..."
Liu Wanyun wanted to refute, but suddenly an idea flashed in her mind and she remembered the plot in the TV series.
The old lady suddenly mentioned what happened before, and her eyes were vague for a moment. Could it be that someone was coming behind her?
She remembered that when she came out, Boss Shen said he would not go out in the afternoon. Could it be that he followed her here? Was he eavesdropping at the door at this moment?
So, the words on the tip of his tongue changed, "This... is unfair to us! Auntie may not know that during the Lantern Festival, the three of us fell into the water at Yudai Bridge! We were just saved by the three Chaodong brothers! We inquired about the Shen family simply because we wanted to marry them! As for the rumor you mentioned, it must be a misunderstanding. How could we lie to our savior?"
"Falling into the water on the Lantern Festival?"
Mrs. Shen was a little surprised. This was beyond her expectations. Her three sons had indeed saved a woman who fell into the water during the Lantern Festival.
At that time, she had been talking about the three brothers for several days. In such a cold day, they actually jumped into the water to save people, and all three brothers did it!
They didn't even know that one person saved one person, and that they were three sisters-in-law?
This is really a kind of fate that is hard to explain!
"Yes, so even though I know that Auntie let Chaodong marry me because of my horoscope, I am still very happy and grateful! I really want to live a good life with Chaodong, share Auntie's worries, and give birth to children for the Shen family!"
Although the last sentence was false and she didn't mean to say it, it was probably what they wanted to hear! Liu Wanyun still said it out loud.
"I hope what you say is true!"
"Mother, what she said is true. It was those three people we saved that day!"
As expected, Boss Shen came out from behind the door. He walked up to Liu Wanyun and took her hand, his eyes full of doting.
