Poisonous Pet World: The War King's Heart-stealing Medical Concubine

Chu Zixi sighed softly, then cast a gentle gaze towards Chu Mengting beside her, her tone gentle but with a hint of helplessness and anxiety: "Mengting, time flies and waits for no one. Recently, many rich children in the imperial city have expressed their willingness to cooperate with us for common development. Perhaps, we can select one or two of them and create a great business together."

Hearing this, Chu Mengting's body stiffened slightly, and she forced a smile and responded: "Sister Xi is right."

Chu Zixi secretly praised in her heart. Although this little girl couldn't perform, she was very good at observing people's words and expressions. She knew when to speak and when not to speak. It was also a skill to cooperate at the right time.

Qian Duoduo, who was standing aside, had a flickering look in his eyes, as if he was calculating something.

She thought to herself: I can't miss this opportunity! I am the eldest daughter and will inherit my father's family business in the future, but my father has handed over most of the family business to my younger brothers to manage, and only gave me some insignificant things. How can I be willing? If I can successfully cooperate with this lady this time, maybe my father will look at me with new eyes and pay more attention to me in the future.

Thinking of this, Qian Duoduo finally couldn't help but say, "Wait a minute! How much money do you need for this cooperation?"

Chu Zixi raised a sly smile at the corner of her mouth, a barely perceptible light flashed in her eyes, and she replied, "No more, no less, exactly one million taels of silver."

"One million and two cold stares? Isn't that enough?" Qian Duoduo's expression suddenly became very complicated, with surprise and hesitation intertwined, making it difficult to understand.

Seeing this, Chu Zixi raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a smug smile, "Miss Qian, there is no need to panic. Although a million silver is not a small amount, it is not like gold. In just over a month, the principal and interest can be recovered. If I were not short of money, why would I need to find someone to share this risk? Moreover, the Qian family is the richest in the imperial city and owns many stores. A mere million silver should be no problem for you, right? Could it be that the rumors outside are wrong, and the Qian family's title of the richest in the imperial city is just an empty name? Or is it that Miss Qian, your father is not here, and you can't make the decision?"

After hearing this, Qian Duoduo was full of contradictions and entanglements. She knew that there were certain risks in this cooperation, but she also knew the huge benefits contained in it. However, facing Chu Zixi's contempt for her, she couldn't help but feel angry. She secretly thought, if she refused to cooperate, would it mean losing an opportunity to make money; if she agreed to cooperate, would she fall into an unforeseen predicament. For a moment, she hesitated and didn't know how to make a choice.

Chu Zixi looked at Qian Duoduo's changing expression. She sighed with pretended regret and said, "It seems that Miss Qian doesn't mean that. Forget it, I'd better go find other people to cooperate with..."

"Wait a minute!" Qian Duoduo hurriedly stopped her, a look of determination flashing in his eyes, "Can the silver mine you said really pay back within a month?"

Chu Zixi smiled, like a blooming spring flower, her eyes were bright and warm, as if they could melt people's hearts. She said, "Of course, the profits brought by the silver mine are considerable. When you see it with your own eyes, you will understand that I am not exaggerating at all. As soon as your silver arrives, we will start drafting the contract and stamp it with the official seal, so that it can be foolproof."

When Qian Duoduo heard this, she felt relieved. She patted her chest and said generously, "Okay! It's settled then! However, I will prepare all the money by this time tomorrow at the latest, so that we can start construction earlier and make a lot of money together!"

After hearing this, Chu Zixi raised her eyebrows slightly, showing a satisfied expression, and nodded in agreement, "Well, you are worthy of being the daughter of the richest man in the imperial city, so straightforward! Then let's meet here tomorrow!"

Qian Duoduo replied: "Okay, I'll go home and prepare the money. I'll leave first!" After that, she strode out of the private room.

Jun Bai shook his little head, "Mother, you are really good at fooling people. She came to you to ask for information about her father, but you still fooled her into giving you silver and a silver mine!"

Chu Zixi couldn't help laughing when she saw Jun Bai's innocent and lovely appearance. She gently nodded his head and said, "Hehe, my dear son, this is called being smart, okay? Besides, that Qian family is not a good person either. We are also doing justice by deceiving her. Besides, the money I defrauded is not for my own enjoyment, but for helping those poor people. What's wrong with doing this?"

Jun Bai blinked as if he understood, then smiled brightly: "Mom is right, Mom is the best!"

Chu Mengting at the side couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praised: "Sister Xi, you are so amazing! Not only are you smart, but you also have a kind heart. I really admire you! Fortunately, I didn't speak easily just now, otherwise, wouldn't it ruin Sister Xi's plan?"

Chu Zixi smiled and waved her hands: "Okay, okay, you two stop praising me, or I will be proud."

Chu Mengting laughed, "Sister Xi, can Qian Duoduo really bring so much money tomorrow? Will she realize it and not come tomorrow?"

"We'll know tomorrow, but judging from her expression just now, she should come. She seems quite ambitious. How can she let her half-brother climb over her head? I'm sure she won't be willing to accept that, right?"

Chu Mengting nodded, "That's true. How can a legitimate daughter let a bastard climb over her? No one would be willing to accept that."

Chu Mengting continued, "Sister Xi, do you really know about Qian Fugui? Did you also deceive Qian Duoduo? What if Qian Fugui goes back early, then your plan will be ruined, right?"

Chu Zixi raised a mysterious smile and said softly, "I calculated with my fingers that Qian Fugui will be back in three days."

Chu Mengting suddenly seemed to have thought of something. She screamed and stared at Chu Zixi with wide eyes, and asked loudly: "Ah! Sister Xi, could it be that... could it be that you took Qian Fugui away? Then... were the stolen money from the Qian Mansion also done by you?"

Chu Zixi patted her forehead lightly in annoyance, and replied with a bit of a smile: "What are you thinking about, little girl?"

"Oh...it turns out it wasn't Sister Xi. That's right, so many families were robbed in one night, how could Sister Xi be so capable!" Chu Mengting muttered to herself as if she had suddenly realized something.

Chu Zixi said with a smile: "What happened today must not be revealed to anyone, understand?"

Chu Mengting nodded repeatedly, indicating that she understood, and she also vowed to assure: "Don't worry, Sister Xi, Mengting will never tell anyone, so as not to affect Sister Xi's plan."

Chu Zixi nodded with satisfaction and praised with a smile: "Good boy!"
