Traveling through the Republic of China, a delicate girl opened a factory to make money and won a lo

"Miss Tang Er is not only my Ning Jinchuan's honored guest, but also my partner. Before the contract is fully fulfilled, she can only live in the Ning Mansion and can't go anywhere."

Wen Zhen looked at Tang Baozhu with a puzzled look on his face.

"Contract? Are you two doing business together?"

Tang Baozhu nodded.

"That's about it. We signed a contract. It's a small deal."

"Damn capitalists,"

Wen Zhen hadn't digested it yet. In his memory, Ning Jinchuan had always been a shrewd man. Why did he choose to cooperate with Tang Baozhu and invite him to the Ning Mansion? His anxious look before was still vivid in his mind.

Something is wrong. People like Ning Jinchuan never do business at a loss, unless there is a bigger reason.

The only conclusion he came to was that Ning Jinchuan had set his eyes on Tang Baozhu. How could an old fox like Ning Jinchuan, who had practiced for thousands of years, be tempted by her? It was unbelievable, incomprehensible, and too confusing.

Ning Jinchuan looked like he was doing his job properly.

"Ms. Tang Er and Wen Zhen are just old friends. The man is not married and the woman is not married. What reason do you have to live in the Wen family? Staying in the Ning Mansion is the best way out."

Wen Zhen couldn't bear to watch it anymore.

"You are not unmarried, are you? You are even scarier than me, with impure thoughts, and you are alone."

"She stayed at the Ning Mansion because we are currently in a cooperative relationship and many details need to be discussed. This is a work requirement and no one dares to interfere."

Wen Zhen was angry. Don't think he didn't know what Ning Jinchuan was thinking.

"You are making a specious argument. Do all your business partners have to live in Ning Mansion?"

"She is a special case. After all, it concerns the interests of the silk weaving factory."

The pressure was on Tang Baozhu, who was stuck in the middle and was pulled back and forth until she felt numb.

Actually, she originally wanted to go back with Wen Zhen. They hadn't seen each other for such a long time, and of course they had a lot to talk about. But considering what happened with Ning Jinchuan in Paramount before, she was carried out by Ning Jinchuan.

Everyone knew that her relationship with Ning Jinchuan was unclear. Now, no one knew what kind of rumors were spreading outside. Even Wen Zhen came to her house after hearing the news. So, she had no choice but to throw the pot into the air and there was no way to clarify it.

If she left with Wen Zhen tonight and moved into the Wen family, she would never be able to stay in Shanghai again.

Not only was his own reputation ruined, but even Wen Zhen was implicated. How embarrassing!

"Wen Zhen, forget it. I've thought about it. I do have a lot of business matters to consult with Mr. Ning today. I'll stay at the Ning Mansion for now and move out after I find a place to live."

Tang Baozhu leaned over to Wen Zhen's ear and said,

"I don't want to become notorious before I've even settled down in Shanghai. I'll move out in a few days and then come to you privately. It's not convenient tonight because there are so many eyes watching us."

Wen Zhen nodded reluctantly and whispered,

"Then don't be tempted by beauty. These days, all good men are pretending."

Tang Baozhu couldn't help laughing.

"Aren't you a man now?"

"I'm different."

Ning Jinchuan had originally thought it was funny to hear Tang Baozhu say that they should stay, but now that he saw the two of them whispering, his face suddenly became gloomy.

"Master Wen, you heard it too. Since Tang Baozhu wants to stay, I won't take you in as it's late at night and the dew is heavy."

He waved to Bai Yang.

"see a visitor out."

Wen Zhen was almost kicked out, but he didn't care and waved his hand casually.

"Sorry to bother you, Mr. Ning. By the way, the matter between me and the vice president is a private matter, so I won't bother you to intervene. I also hope that Mr. Ning won't interfere."

Ning Jinchuan sneered.

"Weren't you quite arrogant when you beat people up? Why are you afraid of the Chamber of Commerce intervening now?"

"I'm not afraid, I just feel bad. Zhou Yao is a bad-mouthed person. I was a bit too harsh on him. He might be disfigured. It's really a sin to damage the reputation of the Chamber of Commerce."

"I advise you to go and apologize. The Zhou family is not someone you can easily mess with."

"I, Wen Zhen, am not someone you can easily mess with. I'll leave Baozhu with you for now. Don't mistreat her, otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?"

"Otherwise I'll go beat up the face of your Chamber of Commerce again."

After saying that, Wen Zhen walked away dejectedly. Why did he threaten Ning Jinchuan? He couldn't beat him at all!

Tang Baozhu glanced at Ning Jinchuan hesitantly.

"Is Wen Zhen quite a standout in the Chamber of Commerce?"

Ning Jinchuan looked at Tang Baozhu leisurely.

"Why? You want to speak up for him too? Is your friendship so strong that you're treating me as the villain and helping each other?"

Tang Baozhu choked, as if something had touched her reverse scale, and laughed dryly twice.

"Haha, that's not what I meant. He does act like a child sometimes. Don't take it lightly."

"Well, you sound like you know him well."

"Of course, we are friends who grew up wearing the same pants..."

Tang Baozhu's voice became smaller and smaller. No one would believe this if she said it out loud. She and Wen Zhen had only met a few times, and only she and Wen Zhen knew that they were sisters who had traveled through time and space from a book. Ning Jinchuan felt that it was reasonable for him to be confused.

Ning Jinchuan narrowed his eyes.

"Just friends? Nothing more?"

Tang Baozhu looked at Ning Jinchuan's eyes in confusion. What was this guy thinking? Did he think that she and Wen Zhen had some kind of relationship?

"Come on, don't you know the definition of the word friend? Have you never had a close friend?"

Ning Jinchuan lowered his eyes. He had many friends, all over the country, but they were all friends with vested interests. However, when he heard Tang Baozhu's frank words, he couldn't help but feel secretly delighted.

"understood."

"Understand what?"

"You don't have to explain it so clearly. I know you don't have Wen Zhen in your heart."

"······" seems to be quite pertinent, but why does it feel like playing the lute to a cow?

Tang Baozhu got up early the next day and strongly refused Ning Jinchuan's offer of a driver to take her there. She took a rickshaw to the department store herself.

Unexpectedly, Song Xiaohua arrived earlier. She was holding the key to the store and had already started counting the silks. When she saw Tang Baozhu coming, she said happily,

"Ms. Tang Er, I received my employment report yesterday. I am now a salesperson in our silk shop. I must work hard and bring honor to our silk weaving factory."

Tang Baozhu smiled and nodded. Unexpectedly, Ning Jinchuan was so decisive that he helped Song Xiaohua complete the employment procedures overnight.

"Well, time is running out, and I've thought of some marketing strategies. Now that we're closed, let's tidy up the store, arrange the goods better, and decorate the store to impress customers. This morning, I spent a lot of money to have flyers printed and distributed, and I've also posted advertising slogans on the store. There will be a big sale next Monday, and you can enjoy a 30% discount. If you become a member and save money, you can enjoy additional discounts."

Song Xiaohua paused. She could understand not opening the store for rectification, which was equivalent to reopening the store, but she didn't understand what the discount on top of the discount meant.

“What is a membership?”
