BTTS 473




 Chapter 473. Strictly business


"My maternal family built a house. I had sent it back." Xu Sheng Mei knew that she couldn't hide it, so she explained.

Zhao Jun froze when he heard this. Then he was annoyed: "What is thing!? What does your maternal family building house have to do with you? You're not going to live in it, so why did you give the money? And gave few hundreds?"

Sure enough, it was a poor rural relative. If one got leeched on, nothing good come from it. Even building a house got to rely on them Zhao family for money?

Xu Sheng Mei could only say: "It's good that my family build a house there. What's more, our whole village will know that we can afford to build a house is all thanks to you, the capital's son-in-law. Besides, don't you dislike my earthen house? When we go back next time, it will be a brick house. It is a very bright brick house. You will have more face when you go back."

"Enough you. Going to that mountain home once is enough. I will never go again." Zhao Jun uttered with disgust. The last time he went to her family's house, it was a nightmare. He would never go a second time. It was unbearable.

"Zhao Jun, I'm doing it for our future. My uncle's business is good, so they opened one after another. Now the supply is available and we got a shop. Why don't we try it?" Xu Sheng Mei persuaded.

"If you want to, try it yourself. Don't drag me in with you." Zhao Jun said impatiently.

"Then you give me some money. I'll go find Mom and say it myself." Xu Sheng Mei replied.

Zhao Jun gave her two hundred yuan. Xu Sheng Mei was angry. What was this two hundred yuan enough for?

But she didn't say anything. Since it was going to enter the public account, the capital must also be paid by Zhao Family.

It was just that she overestimated her voice in Zhao's house. When she proposed it, she was directly rejected by Mother Zhao. She also received a round of sarcastic remarks and was told to stay at home and not mess around with some clothing store.

Zhao Family's factory was that big. They were figures with face in this area. Wouldn't it be shameful if Zhao Family's daughter-in-law become a sole trader?

Xu Sheng Mei was extremely vexed.

Zhang Mei Lian came over to look for her. Xu Sheng Mei didn't have anyone to voice out her bitterness to, so it went without saying she complained to her.

Zhang Mei Lian responded in displeasure when she heard this: "On this matter, I must really tell you off. You're Young Madame Zhao. Why don't properly take your place and go through such trouble? You don't have to do anything to get money. How glorious?"

Xu Sheng Mei rolled her eyes, but she understood Zhang Mei Lian's point. After all, she came from a small household, what would she know?

How could she know the days weren't great in Zhao Family despite appearing high and mighty?

"Oh, you have it good. Married so well. Unlike me. Huang Hu that country boy didn't even set his eyes on me?" Zhang Mei Lian grumbled.

"Don't be discouraged. It's not that Hu Zi doesn't fancy you. You are pretty and have a job. If you can marry Hu Zi, Hu Zi will wake up with a smile in the middle of the night." Xu Sheng Mei comforted.

"Then why doesn't he want to be with me?" Zhang Mei Lian asked.

"My aunt doesn't approve. But really you. How did you make your reputation so bad? My aunt likes to put up pretense the most. Because she is a teacher, she can't allow a single grain of sand in hers eyes. Don't talk about you. She give me any good attitude either because I didn't go through her approval and dated Zhao Jun." Xu Sheng Mei said.

"It's better that you didn't listen to her. Look how well you married." Zhang Mei Lian remarked.

"Let's not talk about this. What did you find me for today?" Xu Sheng Mei asked.

Zhang Mei Lian said: "It's nothing. Just want to come and chat with you. You area is so rich. Is there any good introduction for me? I will remember your kindness."

Xu Sheng Mei had already guessed. Every time Zhang Mei Lian came over, she was dressed very nicely and looked well-behaved. Sitting in this park, her eyes were looking around. She was eyeing at those unmarried men, right?

Toward those grandpas and grannies, she was gentle and kind and spoke politely. To put it bluntly, she want to get those people's fondness. Then get referred, right?

Have to say, Zhang Mei Lian's plan was pretty good. This area was full of rich people. Many were better than Zhao Family.

Xu Sheng Mei never intended to help.

The things she did. Who knows how many guys she been through? It was fine if it haven’t spread to this side. But if the other party go to that side to find out, all those old Zhang Family's matter will reach on here. If she introduced, then won't she get implicated?

So needless to say, Xu Sheng Mei didn't want to introduce a guy.

However, on the surface, she said: "This is nothing. If I encounter someone, I will definitely introduce him to you. You are so beautiful. I have face to introduce you."

Zhang Mei Lian was very satisfied.

Don't know how the two end up discussing and planned to partner up to do business in the end. It was a clothing business.

Wang Yuan was fair. As long as one gave money, he will give the goods. No credit or family card was permitted. All followed the same principle.

Lin Qing He learned of this from Zhou Er Ni.

Of course, she didn't know that Xu Sheng Mei was cooperating with Zhang Mei Lian. Just thought Xu Sheng Mei opened it herself and went to Wang Yuan's garment factory to get the goods.

Lin Qing He raised her eyebrows and said, "What did Wang Yuan say?"

"He didn't say anything. His temper is like that. Strictly business." Zhou Er Ni sighed.

Lin Qing He laughed: "What's with this sigh? This method is right, no?"

In fact, the wholesale price given by Wang Yuan wasn't low. The profit was much lower than that of Lin Qing He.

Lin Qing He can be regarded as an old customer. and received old customer's price. While Xu Sheng Mei paid it according to the order price of the new customer.

Moreover, Xu Sheng Mei's order wasn't very large. So there wasn't much discount. Of course, as long as it was a business at this time, it will be easy to do. There will definitely be profits.

She didn't expect the clothing store to be as prosperous as Lin Qing He's side. As long as it can pass, there will always be a profit of few hundred yuan a month.

After hearing about, Lin Qing He didn't mind. As long as Xu Sheng Mei didn't come here to disturb old Zhou Family's life, she can do whatever she wants.

While her business here had restocked again. It hadn't been long for the dry good shop. About ten or so  days.

The business there was great. That big market got a lot of other things being sold, but selling her kind of dried seafood wasn't really much.

What's more, it was all well-known nutritional products.

These things at this time weren't as expensive as later generations. They weren't cheap though. There were still many people who buy them.

So Lin Qing He prepared to continue ordering.
