Dr. Zhang, you got it wrong, right? My current situation should be a blessing in disguise!
Mr. Song yelled in his heart, but Zhang Shou was already smiling and seeing off Marquis Huaiqing, Wu Ge Lao and others, so he couldn't interrupt and could only feel itchy in his heart. Finally, he saw Zhu Ying falling behind alone, and he didn't care about anything else. He shook off Ah Liu and walked forward, asking pitifully in a low voice: "Miss, what does the emperor mean?"
"hehe."
Zhu Ying smiled at Mr. Song, and then said unhappily, "The emperor is angry at you for being so mean and inarticulate! Last time he pissed off Princess Yongping, and this time he pissed off the emperor. If he had praised you again upstairs, you would have been so angry! He scared you, and then let you advance. This is a warning for you to be smarter!"
Not only was Mr. Song dumbfounded, but even Mr. Hua, who was dragging his heavy feet down from upstairs, was also dumbfounded. The latter had an idea and immediately took a few quick steps. When he was behind Zhu Ying, he whispered, "Miss, can you help me understand what the emperor said about me? It's all my fault. I can't help showing off and always like to show off..."
Zhu Ying did not think twice when she gave Mr. Song a tip, but when she turned around and saw that it was Mr. Hua Si, she raised her eyebrows, but she was no longer like the straightforward and bright young lady. She looked Mr. Hua up and down, and finally said with a smile: "Mr. Hua Si, you are ordered to help me sell rocking chairs this time, how dare I offend you, the God of Wealth?"
Seeing that the person was trying to explain in a hurry, she simply stretched out a hand to signal him to stop, and then said calmly: "Don't say it, I know what you mean. The emperor should not be angry, otherwise he would not have paid attention to you just now. But being too smooth in dealing with people is of course no problem most of the time, but if you meet someone who doesn't buy it, then sometimes you will inevitably suffer."
As she spoke, she glanced at Zhang Shou, who was talking to Wu Ge Lao, Lu Wan and Liu Zhiyuan, and gently extended her index finger to hook at Fourth Master Hua, then said with a smile: "Since I gave the rocking chair made by Shou to the emperor, it will be no secret sooner or later to distribute it to Huaiqing Hou and others. Since he has no intention of doing this kind of business, I am not the material for business. I will give you a sample of this chair later."
"Oh, I said it wrong. This is not a gift to you. This is a business partnership. You don't have to think about how much money to give me. When you sell one, you can record one tenth of the money in your account. If you don't sell any, you don't have to pay a penny. Neither I nor Ah Shou will check your account."
Mr. Hua was stunned at first, but when he understood, he immediately agreed: "Don't worry, Miss, I won't give you a penny less..."
"Wrong." Zhu Ying curled her lips, and seeing that Fourth Master Hua looked very unnatural, she said slowly, "It doesn't matter if it's less money, the important thing is, don't give a penny more. You just saw and heard that Ah Shou is poor but ambitious—although I never thought he was poor... Anyway, if you take this opportunity to give me money, don't blame me for being rude in the future."
Mr. Hua Si had met greedy people, honest people, and people who were ashamed to talk about money but secretly enjoyed it. However, this was the first time he met someone like Zhu Ying who talked about money openly but told him to settle every penny and never asked for a penny more. As a businessman, he was actually most willing to meet such a partner, but this partner happened to be of a different status!
