Chapter 93 More Like a Politician
"Making furs can make money, but the cost is high. However, now that we have cooperated with the Brocade Shop, the customers in the store are wealthier than usual, so the furs can be sold. We can definitely give it a try."

When it comes to business, Xu Shuhe's distracting thoughts are put aside and he becomes more serious.

"I thought so too. Let's give it a try this year." Chen Zhi nodded and took out a letter from his pocket. "Take a look at this. It's from the capital."

A letter came from the capital, either the Zhou family or the fifth prince Zhao Yu resigned.

If it was a letter from the Zhou family, Chen Zhi would definitely speak frankly. If he didn't say it explicitly, then it was a letter from the Fifth Prince.

Xu Shuhe guessed something in his mind, took the letter, opened it and started reading.

After reading it, he immediately showed a bit of joy on his face, "Want to invest in a bank?"

"Yes, I see from the letter that you want me to supervise and manage it on your behalf. The strength of our Qizhou Hengyu Money House should not be underestimated. I heard that it has branches in the north and south, and even in the capital." Chen Zhi whispered.

Xu Shuhe pursed his lips, "I think the meaning of this letter is that it is a hidden stake. Obviously, the person is cautious. If you want to take this job, you have to be extra careful and not make any mistakes."

Looking at the Fifth Prince's successive actions, all of which were to ask them to help make money, and all of which were done in secret, plus what he had learned about the Fifth Prince's background when he was in the capital before, Xu Shuhe felt that although the Fifth Prince was a prince, his life was not that easy and he was walking on thin ice.

Under the protection of the prince, they can naturally act more conveniently, but the risks are also greater.

As the saying goes, when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. Although it sounds unpleasant, the two of them are now the monkeys on the big tree of the Fifth Prince.

"I want to take this job." Chen Zhi's eyes darkened slightly, appearing profound. "Qizhou is close to the capital. If I want to expand my business, going to the capital in the future is the inevitable path. Now that I have this opportunity to rely on it better, I can't hesitate and miss the opportunity."

Xu Shuhe pursed her lips, "That's true, but I'm also afraid of getting involved too deeply. What if that person falls in the future..."

"The court is now dominated by the Sixth Prince, born to the Crown Prince and Concubine Qian. There is fierce competition. The Fifth Prince is not favored and does not show his edge in the court. Either he does not intend to compete, or he is keeping a low profile. Although I have not spent much time with the Fifth Prince, I can see that he is cautious, behaves properly and respects others. Such a person is not likely to make mistakes."

Gently stroking the teacup with his fingers, Chen Zhi analyzed calmly.

Somehow, at that moment Xu Shuhe felt that the man in front of him looked more like a politician than a businessman.

Thinking of this, she immediately summoned the system silently in her mind. Taking a closer look, she found that the value in the column of "Soldier" on the system page had increased.

Although it is not increasing as fast as the commerce column, it is the only value besides commerce that is slowly increasing. The industry and agriculture columns remain the same.

Could it be that Chen Zhi’s potential is not limited to business?
Xu Shuhe's heart moved slightly, but he quickly suppressed the thought.

No matter what, the business column has the highest basic value. She has spent the most time and effort to cultivate it, and it is also increasing the fastest. If she persists, she will definitely complete the task fastest.

Don’t think about anything else.

"What do you think?" Chen Zhi's voice brought Xu Shuhe back to his senses.

Xu Shuhe came back to his senses. "Ah, that's good. As the saying goes, wealth and honor come with risk. If we can become the great contributors to fill the Fifth Prince's purse, and develop in the capital in the future, the Fifth Prince will definitely be more willing to protect us. But you must be extremely careful about this matter and not make any mistakes. In addition, no one else can know about it except you and me."

"Of course." Chen Zhi nodded, and then smiled, "I knew you would understand me and support me."

When he said this, there was a hint of relief in his eyes when he looked at Xu Shuhe, and his eyes were so gentle that it made people feel uneasy.

How could Xu Shuhe have the nerve to say that the purpose of everything she did was just to complete her mission as soon as possible and return home.

Fortunately, at this time, the maid came to report that the meal was ready.

This interrupted their conversation, and Xu Shuhe also stood up to accompany Chen Zhi to have dinner.

The next few days were busy again. Chen Zhi had accepted a new secret mission assigned by the Fifth Prince, so he had to take time out to do it. With Chen Huaiqian watching over his family, he couldn't go to his private shop too often, so Xu Shuhe was the one who took care of it.

This made Lin Jinyi happy. Whether in Beijing or Qizhou, Xu Shuhe was the most compatible friend Lin Jinyi had ever met.

Since Xu Shu and Chang came out to take care of the business, the two saw each other more and more often.

As they became more familiar with each other, Xu Shuhe learned a lot about the capital from Lin Jin.

Of course, the most important thing is the information about the Fifth Prince. After all, I am working hard for the Fifth Prince now.

Fortunately, according to Lin Jinyi, the fifth prince Zhao Yuci was also a low-key and gentle person. There had never been any bad rumors about him, nor any outstanding achievements.

Apart from the meritorious service in investigating the smuggling of iron ore this year, there has been nothing.

He is indeed a stable master.

After learning this, Xu Shuhe felt much more at ease.

She wanted to protect her own life and Chen Zhi's life until the mission was successfully completed.

Now it's good to be stable.

However, she was safe here, but back home, Li Mingzhu and Chen Jin were in an uproar.

"Did you know that Dad gave the third brother one-tenth of the shares in the family?"

Li Mingzhu pulled her husband, who had not returned home all night and only came back at noon, and questioned him angrily.

Chen Jinyuan was still lying there, but when he heard this, he suddenly stood up, "What? I don't know, where did you get the news from? You must have heard it wrong!"

"Did you hear me wrong?" Li Mingzhu sneered, "Humph, this is what your mother told me this morning, how could it be wrong? She told you to pay more attention to the family business, but you didn't listen. Now, the third brother is helping your father-in-law to manage the business, and he has taken all the benefits. When you three brothers divide up the family business in the future, he will share the rest with you and the fourth brother!"

Although he was usually confused, Chen Jin still knew how to tell how much money to take. At this moment, he frowned and sat down.

"How could that be? Dad never favors the third child."

"It's all been given away. You'll know if you go to the store and ask. It can't be false. You'd better pay attention to it. Your fourth brother is going to be an official in the future. He will enjoy endless wealth and glory after entering the officialdom. You have nothing. You depend on the family. Dad gives more to the third brother. The fourth brother may not care, but that's cutting your flesh!" Li Mingzhu said angrily.

I was also very annoyed.

Chen Jin was also annoyed, and now he threw his sleeves, "Alright, alright, you said it so harshly. I am useless in your mouth. Dad has given it to him, and Mom didn't say there is any way. So what can you and I do? I can only make up for it myself."

"Where did you make up for it?" Li Mingzhu asked, "You haven't brought money home for a while. Did you spend all the money you earned during this period?"

"What are you talking about?" Chen Jin was annoyed. "To do business, you need capital. I came back today to ask you for money. Give me five hundred taels."

Li Mingzhu raised her eyebrows, "Why are you asking me for money?"

"My friend and I have decided to do something big to catch big fish. How can we do this if we are reluctant to put out the bait?" Chen Jin put on a smiling face and whispered something into Li Mingzhu's ear.

Finally, he grabbed Li Mingzhu's waist and said, "My dear wife, how can I deceive you? The money you have was earned by your husband, me. When I succeed this time, I will pay you back double!"

After being coaxed by him, Li Mingzhu reluctantly gave him the money.
