Chapter 80 It’s too late to meet
Chen Zhi moved quickly.
But within two days, he came to tell Xu Shuhe that there was no problem in cooperating with Lin Jinyi, and that the other party was quite sincere.
After receiving the news, Xu Shuhe acted decisively and immediately sent people to the brocade workshop.
That afternoon, an invitation was delivered to Xu Shuhe.
It was Lin Jinyi who invited her and Chen Zhi to have a simple meal at Jinzun Tower to discuss cooperation.
Just tonight.
"This Miss Lin is quite impatient."
Looking at the invitation, Xu Shuhe couldn't help but smile.
Meixiang also curled her lips, "That's right, she looks like a straightforward girl. As a rich girl, she doesn't put on airs and is smart in business. To be honest, if it were someone else, seeing our store's booming business, they would want to tear it down if they took their share of the profits. How could they be so broad-minded as to want to make friends and cooperate with us?"
"Yes, these days, there are indeed many shops that are jealous of our good business and want to squeeze us out. But the young master handled it properly and did not let them take advantage. From now on, we will cooperate with Miss Lin from the Brocade Workshop. We will be a strong team. If other shops want to bully us again, they can forget about it!" Xinyue raised her chin, looking happy.
Now that the two maids have been following Xu Shuhe for a long time, they have been influenced by him and like to talk about business matters. They are no longer like before, talking about the trivialities of the mansion all the time.
Especially Xu Shuhe was in charge of the Chen family's miscellaneous affairs, but he mostly delegated power to the two of them to handle. Now the two maids have grown a lot.
"Okay, go tell the young master that Miss Lin is hosting the party at Jinzun Tower tonight, so it's time to go and discuss business." Xu Shuhe said with a smile.
I'm in a good mood too.
Xinyue took on the job and went out of the house.
But when he came back, he told Xu Shuhe that Chen Zhi said he was not free tonight because he had made an appointment with several raw material suppliers to discuss business today. Moreover, they had agreed to meet at Juxianglou, which was not the same place.
As for Lin Jinyi's affairs, he left all to Xu Shuhe to discuss, and he felt relieved.
After hearing Xinyue's reply, Xu Shuhe didn't say anything.
We must not be careless with the raw material suppliers either. This is an important part of cost control and we really need to have a good discussion with them.
"Then let us women take action ourselves!" Xu Shuhe raised her eyebrows.
Xinyue and Meixiang listened and laughed too.
I thought that this was because the young master and the young mistress had a good relationship and trusted each other.
In the evening, Xu Shuhe changed his clothes and went out to attend the banquet.
Inside Wanshuangzhai, Feng's face turned cold when she heard that Xu Shuhe had left.
"The third brother and his wife are living a carefree life."
"Now that the private shop owned by the couple is doing good business, they naturally have more social engagements." Li Mingzhu said.
Feng raised her eyelids and looked at her. "I used to think you were capable, but why don't you help the second son and lead him to pay more attention to the work?"
"It's my fault. When I go back, I will definitely urge my husband to learn how to manage the family business." Li Mingzhu lowered her head.
Although he said this, he wanted to curse in his heart.
I thought to myself, Chen Jin is your son, don’t you know what kind of person he is?
Feng, as a mother, can't even discipline her children, so how can she, as a daughter-in-law, do so?
But Feng didn't care what Li Mingzhu was thinking and just snorted coldly.
"Now these are not important. What's important is that Jin'er has a boy sooner rather than later to continue the family line. His concubine had a miscarriage, so you should arrange for other people to take care of her."
"Yes, my daughter-in-law will remember it." Li Mingzhu said aggrievedly.
Xu Shuhe was not involved in these things in the mansion. She had already arrived at Jinzun Tower. The last time she came back was when Yunshang Pavilion opened. She came with Chen Zhilai and only had a meal in the compartment on the second floor.
Lin Jinyi is indeed a rich girl. This time she is the host and has booked the best private room.
"Mrs. Chen." Lin Jin greeted Xu Shuhe with a smile as soon as he saw her. "Please take a seat. The dishes have been ordered."
Xu Shuhe returned the gift, "Miss Lin, you are too polite. I came here alone today. My husband has other things to do and cannot come here. I am really sorry. This is a small gift I prepared. Please accept it."
"It doesn't matter. As long as Madam keeps her word, we can still discuss business today." Lin Jinyi still smiled.
But these words also made Xu Shuhe understand what she meant, and he immediately gave her a definite answer.
"Don't worry, young lady. Now that I'm here, I'll keep my word and make the decision."
After hearing her answer, Lin Jinyi asked her maid to accept the small gift that Xu Shuhe brought.
It was also this interaction that made Xu Shuhe realize that Miss Lin was not someone who was easy to fool. Although she was young, she was smart, efficient and meticulous.
Indeed, if Chen Zhi had not come today and Xu Shuhe would not have the final say, Lin Jinyi would not have planned to do business with Yunshang Pavilion.
After all, the other party's behavior was obviously disrespectful to her.
However, Xu Shuhe came up and took the initiative to explain the reason why Chen Zhi did not come, and brought gifts to apologize. He was also able to make the decision, which showed that he came to discuss business with her sincerely.
Then we can sit down and have a good talk.
As soon as they sat down and started talking, they both felt that they had met each other too late.
So when Chen Zhi finished his business and drove over to pick people up, he pushed open the door of the box and went in, and saw two girls hugging each other, arm in arm, calling each other sister, looking so close.
"Why did you drink so much?" Chen Zhi glanced at the wine jug on the table and frowned.
Meixiang said helplessly, "Originally, they only ordered one pot. The young lady also said that the wine she drank with you last time was too strong, so she specially asked the waiter to bring you something that is not easy to get drunk. As a result, as Miss Lin and I ate and talked, we became more and more interested. We couldn't stop them, so they drank too much."
No matter how low the alcohol content of a wine is, it won’t last if you drink too much.
One look and you can see that their faces are as red as if they were smeared with rouge. They must be drunk.
Chen Zhi couldn't help but hold his forehead. Today he thought about chatting with Xu Shuhe about their respective battle situations when he returned home, so he walked around the dinner table, making excuses, and didn't drink much with those raw material suppliers. Unexpectedly, Xu Shuhe got drunk.
"Ms. Lin, you've all drunk too much today, so let's stop here. I'll send someone to take you back." Chen Zhi stepped forward and bowed. At the end, he glanced at Xu Shuhe and said softly, "It's time to go back. If you drink any more, you'll feel uncomfortable tomorrow."
"Hey, where did this handsome guy come from? He looks so familiar!" Xu Shuhe squinted his eyes and suddenly said this.
As he spoke, he pulled Lin Jinyi over and pointed at Chen Zhi, "Sister, look, he's pretty good, isn't he?"
"Yeah, it's OK." Lin Jinyi nodded drunkenly, and then laughed, "Sister, what are you looking at? You, you're already married!"
Hearing this, Xu Shuhe was immediately shocked and covered his mouth with his hands.
"Ah? I'm married?!"
Seeing her like this, Lin Jinyi laughed so hard that she shook and fell to the side. The little maid beside her hurried forward to support her.
Chen Zhi was very upset at the moment. He gritted his teeth, then stepped forward and picked up Xu Shuhe.
Then he ordered in a deep voice, "I will take the young lady back first. Zhang Ping, you escort Miss Lin back to her residence. Meixiang, you also go and help."
Zhang Ping and Mei Xiang both responded quickly.
Chen Zhi then carried Xu Shuhe and walked away, with Xinyue jogging behind him.
