Tang Baozhu raised her eyelids, glanced at Song Shaoguang calmly, and smiled.

"Although I am young, I know there is no such thing as a free lunch. If you suddenly give me an extra 400,000 yuan, I dare not accept it. If I let a wolf into the house, it will be a big deal."

Song Shaoguang's expression was slightly restrained. It seemed that Tang Baozhu was really different. In the past, Tang Baozhu only knew how to dress up and have fun. She was simple-minded and had no ulterior motives. She never paid attention to the affairs of the silk weaving factory, let alone became so cautious.

What went wrong?

Is this a withdrawal from the engagement that has come to mind?

They have all started to learn how to think, and they are so thoughtful, as if they have eight hundred minds.

"Second sister, I actually thought about this aspect just now, so when I sent Master Zuo away just now, I specifically asked him about it, and Master Zuo told me everything,"

Tang Baozhu raised her eyebrows.

"Tell what?"

"In fact, the reason why Mr. Zuo Er raised the price by 400,000 is to target the Ning family. The Yingmu Chamber of Commerce lost its ferry business some time ago and has been trying to get back 10%, so they are willing to spend a lot of money to cooperate with us. Mr. Zuo Er will definitely not hesitate to spend 400,000 yuan to win over Mr. Ning."

Song Shaoguang looked at Tang Baozhu's expression and continued,

"Besides, this is a war between the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce and the Sakuragi Chamber of Commerce. They have money and don't care about profits at all. They only care about winning or losing. We are just sitting back and reaping the benefits. It won't do any harm to us."

Tang Baozhu found it funny. Businessmen don’t care about profits. What’s the point of winning?

Could it be that it is just to save face?

Song Shaoguang's brain must be filled with cement. He could even say such words, treating her like a three-year-old child.

Although she thought so in her heart, Tang Baozhu still nodded in approval.

"That does make sense."

Song Shaoguang's eyes lit up.

"Right, there's nothing wrong with cooperating with Sakuragi Chamber of Commerce."

Tang Baozhu nodded, a gleam of light flashed in her eyes.

"You suddenly enlightened me. Mr. Zuo Er is willing to pay thirteen dollars a piece, and Mr. Ning will pay fourteen dollars. Then the two of them will drive up the price and disrupt the market price of silk. Then our Tang family will become prosperous. Brother, you enlightened me. Tomorrow I will ask Mr. Ning to raise the price."

Song Shaoguang's hands trembled and he almost fell down. He couldn't understand Tang Baozhu's thinking at all.

“Isn’t this…not very good?”

"Why is it not good? In business, the one who offers the highest price wins. Isn't this the most normal thing?"

Song Shaoguang's face was extremely ugly. Tang Baozhu caught him off guard and gave him a headache.

"But if we raise the price too high, it might not be worth it. If we lose both ends, the Tang family will suffer a huge loss."

Tang Baozhu said without any concern,

"Please, it was Mr. Zuo Er who first raised the price. If Mr. Ning really has any objections, he can directly negotiate with Mr. Zuo Er. Didn't you say that? We are the ones who benefit the most."

Song Shaoguang smiled stiffly.

"What Second Sister said makes sense. I didn't realize that Second Sister is a good business person."

"That's natural. I've always been hiding my incompetence and my talents!"

"..."

Seeing that he couldn't persuade Tang Baozhu, Song Shaoguang didn't say anything more.

At this time, at the silk weaving factory, Tang Zhengguo and Gong Jinling heard the news that Tang Baozhu had broken off the engagement. They no longer cared about the factory and ran back to Tang's house like a gust of wind.

Tang Zhengguo was driving. Gong Jinling's face was filled with endless joy. She was so excited that she kept urging him to drive.

"Drive faster, drive faster. I heard that the case has been reported to the police station. I didn't expect that our daughter really agreed to cancel the engagement. Let's celebrate together. God bless you. My prayers must have been heard by God, so they worked. Oh, I feel much better now. The phlegm stuck in my throat has finally come out."

Tang Zhengguo silently glanced at the excited Gong Jinling and sighed softly.

"Look at how happy you are. You know how much our daughter likes that bastard. She even went on a hunger strike and locked herself up a while ago. Now that the engagement has been cancelled, she must be feeling very upset. Don't act too excited later, Baozhu won't be able to bear it."

Gong Jinling's expression froze, and she let out a long sigh.

"The short-term pain is only temporary, but it's worth it to be happy for a lifetime. I knew that Zhou Yixin was not a pig worthy of entrusting your life to. He got together with Miss Ning after just a few meetings. I'm so pissed off. Don't wait until I see him, I'll beat him to death."

"Come on, be rational and don't be like Tang Baojun and embarrass yourself by going to the police station."

"Why are you embarrassed? The third brother did a good thing and brought honor to the Tang family."

"What's the point of fighting for glory? This matter has become so serious. Everyone knows that our daughter has been disliked. Even though the engagement has been cancelled, how can she find a good family in the future?"

Hearing this, Gong Jinling's face immediately fell.

"What can we do? It's all the fault of that bastard Zhou Yixin. He will be punished for betraying Baozhu. If she really can't get married, we can support her for the rest of her life. We have the ability to do so."

"Don't say these things. When you get home, make sure to comfort Baozhu. Otherwise, I'm afraid she won't be able to bear it. Alas, Baozhu has been spoiled by us. I'm afraid she can't bear this kind of grievance. I'm afraid she will cry, make a scene, or even commit suicide again."

Gong Jinling's expression changed instantly.

"Yes, be careful to comfort her."

Tang House,

After Butler Huang helped Tang Baojun treat her wounds, Tang Baozhu helped Tang Baojun limp back to her room to change clothes.

Their room was on the second floor. After sending Tang Baojun upstairs, Tang Baozhu prepared to go to the tea room to get some water.

As soon as I went downstairs, I heard Gong Jinling's plaintive voice at the door.

"My precious pearl, why is your life so miserable~"

"..."

It's just a broken engagement, why did her life become so miserable? Besides, didn't her mother always dislike Zhou Yixin?

Tang Baozhu went to the tea room by herself, picked up the water cup and gulped down a large cup. She had just come back from the police station and was talking so much that she was thirsty. It was only now that she had time to drink a sip of water, as if she was drinking a dry well.

Gong Jinling walked in from the yard, and climbed up to the second floor in her wedge-heeled shoes. Soon, there was a knock on the door.

"Baozhu, don't be sad, mother is here to accompany you,"

"Baozhu, open the door,"

"Orb?"

"Baozhu, please don't let this get you down."

Gong Jinling's voice echoed throughout the house. Tang Baozhu put down the water cup with a helpless look on her face. Just as she was about to call her mother, she ran into Tang Zhengguo.

Tang Zhengguo was stunned for a moment, his beard trembled, and he shouted to the upstairs,

"Baozhu is downstairs, what are you howling about?"

After saying that, Tang Zhengguo looked at Tang Baozhu from head to toe, and asked carefully,

"Baozhu, I heard everything just now. Are you... okay?"

"Something's going on,"

Tang Zhengguo's heart was in his throat.

"What's the matter? Tell Dad, Dad will accompany you, no matter what happens."

Tang Baozhu looked at Tang Zhengguo in surprise.

"Don't we have any ice cubes at home? I want to drink ice water."

Tang Zhengguo "..."
