Chapter 72 It’s Not Shameful to Make Money
Wanshuangzhai.
Yutao, the second-class maid, entered the room carrying a food box.
"Ma'am, it's time for lunch."
"I can't eat." Feng sat by the window without turning her head.
In just a few days, she looked haggard and no longer had her former radiance. Her well-maintained skin was now dull and she did not look like a wealthy lady at all.
Yu Tao gritted her teeth and advised, "Madam, you have to take care of yourself. How can you skip meals? You haven't had a good meal these days."
"I said I don't want to eat it, so take it away!" Feng's tone immediately became annoyed.
Seeing this, Yutao didn't dare to persuade him anymore, so she had to pick up the food box and quickly retreat.
Just as he reached the door, Feng called him back.
"and many more!"
"Madam, what do you want me to do?" Yutao responded quickly.
Feng stood up and walked outside. "Go tell the master that I'm sick. I have a severe headache and can't eat or drink. I want to ask a doctor to come and see me."
After she finished speaking, she saw that Yutao didn't move, so she frowned impatiently.
"Didn't you hear me? I can't control you now?"
"I dare not!" Yu Tao lowered her head and pursed her lips before she said carefully, "Master, Master has long ago sent a message saying not to tell him about you. The Third Young Master's wife is now in charge of the household. If the wife wants to see a doctor, I have to go to Fuyunju."
"What?!" Feng's eyes widened immediately, her voice was sharp and piercing, "You said that the Xu family is now in charge? Where is the second young master's wife? Is she dead?!"
Yu Tao was so scared that she fell to her knees. "Madam, please calm down. The master is really angry about this matter. He even said that he wants to divorce his wife. The second young master's wife and the second young master were also scolded. The master has been sad these days and is recuperating at home. All the business outside has been handed over to the third young master."
When Feng was locked up a few days ago, she was also very angry. She was even more angry and sad because Qiu Mama was beaten to death for taking the blame for her. Several people who had served closely in Wanshuangzhai had all been slapped and scolded by Feng, so no one dared to tell her the news, for fear that she would be even more angry.
But at this moment, the conversation was so urgent that Yutao was so scared that she blurted out everything.
Feng was frozen in place, her blood rushing to her head, her face suddenly turned red like a pig's liver. She had been haggard and thinner in the past few days, and suddenly the blood rushing up made her face look very hideous.
"This is a mess, this is a mess. They have the final say here. What will happen to Jin'er and Xun'er in the future? The old master has really been seduced by a vixen. His heart has been deviated. Now he wants to give all this huge family business to the third brother!"
A hoarse roar came out of Feng's throat. She looked a little crazy. She gritted her teeth, arched her back, slapped her thighs with her hands, and stared at the empty door with bloodshot eyes.
The next second, he wanted to rush out regardless of everything and go to Chen Huaiqian to ask for an explanation.
With the death of Mother Qiu in mind, Yutao and the other maids in Wanshuangzhai would never dare to let Feng go.
They all rushed forward, pulling them aside and trying to persuade them.
But Feng really didn't have the energy to make a fuss. She hadn't eaten a single bite of food or drank a few drops of water since she was locked up. Now she was furious and angry. After a few moves, her eyes rolled back and she fainted.
In Fuyunju, Xu Shuhe was writing an employee training manual when he heard his subordinates report that his wife had fainted.
"Are you fainted from hunger?" Xinyue curled her lips.
The maid who delivered the message shook her head and said, "She said that the Madam wanted to see the Master, but she was too weak to stand the torture."
Hearing this, Xu Shuhe put down the pen in his hand.
Meixiang immediately handed her a handkerchief. Xu Shuhe took it, wiped his hands, and whispered, "I don't know about my father-in-law, right?"
"We haven't reported it to the master yet. We remember your instructions, Madam Third Young Master. The master needs to rest now and should not be disturbed." The little maid said immediately.
Hearing this, Xu Shuhe and Cai Qian curled their lips and said, "You are very sensible. Okay, you can go down. I will send someone to invite a doctor to Wanshuangzhai to take a look."
After she finished speaking, Xinyue immediately took out some change from her purse and stuffed it into the little maid's hand.
The little maid was overjoyed. She thanked him quickly and left quickly.
After everyone left, Xu Shuhe said calmly, "Meixiang, go and ask a doctor to take a look. But I think this kind of heart disease needs to be treated with heart medicine, and I'm afraid the doctor won't be able to cure it."
"Young Madam is right. I'll go right away." Meixiang smiled, obviously understanding what Xu Shuhe meant.
Just find a doctor to go through the motions, no need to take a close look.
When Chen Zhi came back in the evening, Xu Shuhe told him this as a joke.
Chen Zhi also sneered, "It seems that he has not been starving these days. He still has the energy to make trouble."
"She cherishes her life, how could she let herself starve to death?" Xu Shuhe said with sarcasm, "How is the business in the store?"
When this was mentioned, Chen Zhi's expression seemed relaxed.
"Everything is fine. With the launch of new styles of clothes, coupled with Yunshang Pavilion's unique custom dyeing label, more and more customers have placed orders for tailor-made clothes. I think these fancy gimmicks are quite popular, so I came up with a few names and divided these clothes into several categories according to the patterns and colors."
"Theme series products?" Xu Shuhe's eyes lit up.
She didn't expect Chen Zhi to figure this out on his own. She hadn't even thought about it this way.
Although Chen Zhi didn't quite understand the meaning of the words Xu Shuhe said, he continued.
"Indeed, they are classified by theme. For example, I had people put up signs for the lotus pattern, bamboo pattern, and various green clothes, which are called Qingmeng Fulu. The other delicate and beautiful red clothes are called Yiting Feixue."
After giving these two examples, Chen Zhi looked a little embarrassed and paused before continuing.
"I haven't read many books, so I can't think of many elegant names. I don't know if this will have a good effect."
"Why not?" Xu Shuhe gave timely encouragement based on the concept of joyful teaching. "Before, you said that you didn't have as many new ideas as I did. Isn't this the new idea you came up with? I think it's good. We can give each batch of new products some meaning and design concept in the future. In this way, the clothes produced by our Yunshang Pavilion will become different from others."
Chen Zhi didn't expect her to extend this far, and was puzzled for a moment, "Will it sell better this way?"
"It's not certain whether it will sell better, but it can be sold at a higher price!" Xu Shuhe raised his eyebrows.
The moment he said this, he suddenly felt that his face was very shameful, so he quickly held back his laughter and covered his face with his hands.
"Oh my god, this makes me look like a dishonest businessman."
Chen Zhi was stunned for a moment when he saw this action, and then he couldn't help laughing.
He didn't forget to comfort her, "How can you say that about yourself? If I'm a profiteer, it's me. I came up with this idea first."
"We are the same." Xu Shuhe patted his face, put his hands down, took a deep breath, and his eyes became firm again. "But it's not shameful to make money. We are not selling inferior products as good ones. The quality of our clothes is excellent!"
Chen Zhi found it funny to see that she seemed to be hypnotizing herself, but he held back his laughter and nodded in agreement.
"Yes, we didn't make any dirty money."
