Marrying for someone else and being a widow? Stepmothers open classes to raise children

At this time, Luluo came hurriedly, with a trace of anxiety on her face: "Madam, Second Miss, there is a guest outside who wants to see you. He said that there is something important to discuss."

Gu Zhiyi frowned slightly and asked in confusion: "What guest? Why did they come to visit so suddenly?"

The maid replied, "The guest claimed to be Manager Liu. He brought a business opportunity and said he wanted to cooperate with our Ningguo Mansion."

Xie Huixuan's eyes lit up, and she immediately stood up: "Mother, let's go meet this Manager Liu. Maybe the business opportunities he brings can be of great help to us."

Gu Zhiyi nodded, and the two of them walked out of the pavilion and headed towards the front hall.

In the hall, a middle-aged man was waiting anxiously. When he saw Gu Zhiyi and Xie Huixuan coming in, he immediately stood up and saluted with a big smile on his face: "Madam, Miss, hello. I am Manager Liu, and I am here to visit you."

Gu Zhiyi smiled slightly and motioned for Shopkeeper Liu to sit down: "Shopkeeper Liu, please take a seat. What business opportunities do you bring?"

After sitting down, Manager Liu said excitedly, "Madam, Miss, I heard that your family is very successful in business, so I brought you a business opportunity. Recently, I discovered a new commodity in the south, called porcelain. This kind of porcelain has a bright color and exquisite shape, and is very popular in the southern market. I think if we can introduce this kind of porcelain to the northern market, we will definitely make a lot of money."

Xie Huixuan's eyes lit up immediately, and she asked excitedly: "Shopkeeper Liu, is this kind of porcelain really that popular?"

Shopkeeper Liu nodded and said confidently, "Yes, Miss. I have been trying to sell it in the south for a while, and the response has been very good. I believe that as long as we manage it well, we will be able to monopolize the northern market."

Gu Zhiyi pondered for a while, then said: "Manager Liu, the business opportunity you mentioned is indeed very attractive. However, we need to learn more about the production process and cost of this porcelain before deciding whether to cooperate."

Shopkeeper Liu immediately took out a detailed document and handed it to Gu Zhiyi: "Madam, this is a detailed introduction to the production process and cost of this porcelain. I believe that as long as you read this document, you will definitely be interested in this business."

Gu Zhiyi took the information and looked through it carefully for a while, then raised her head and said to Xie Huixuan: "Huixuan, what do you think of this deal?"

Xie Huixuan smiled slightly and said firmly, "Mom, I think this business is worth a try. As long as we work hard, we will definitely succeed."

Gu Zhiyi nodded. She looked at Shopkeeper Liu and said with a smile, "Shopkeeper Liu, since you are so sincere, let's cooperate. I believe that with the strength of both of us, this kind of porcelain can shine in the northern market."

Shopkeeper Liu stood up excitedly and thanked them repeatedly: "Madam, Miss, thank you for your trust. I will do my best and make the greatest efforts for this business."

Gu Zhiyi waved her hand gently, motioning for Shopkeeper Liu to sit down. She smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Liu, you're too polite. Since we have decided to cooperate, we should be honest with each other and face future challenges together." She turned to look at Xie Hui, a trace of relief flashing in her eyes, "Hui Xuan, talk to Shopkeeper Liu in detail about how the specific cooperation should proceed."

Xie Huixuan nodded, and she turned to Shopkeeper Liu, her tone becoming serious: "Shopkeeper Liu, please first give us a detailed introduction to the origin, quality, and market prospects of this batch of porcelain, so that we can work out a suitable cooperation plan."

Shopkeeper Liu smiled slightly. He took out a detailed document from his sleeve, handed it to Xie Huixuan, and then began to talk: "This batch of porcelain comes from a kiln factory in Jiangnan. It is of high quality and exquisite craftsmanship. In the market, this kind of porcelain is already quite popular, but due to the long distance and inconvenient transportation, the northern market is still blank. I believe that as long as we seize this opportunity, we will definitely be able to set off a porcelain craze in the northern market."

Xie Huixuan nodded from time to time as she listened to Shopkeeper Liu's introduction. She thought for a while and then said, "Shopkeeper Liu, how do you think we should set the price so that we can both ensure profits and attract customers?"

Shopkeeper Liu thought for a moment and replied, "I think we can adopt the strategy of small profits but quick turnover and set the price at a lower-middle level so that ordinary people can afford it. At the same time, we can hold some promotional activities, such as buy one get one free, or give away some small gifts, to attract customers."

Gu Zhiyi secretly appreciated it in her heart and interrupted, "Huixuan, Manager Liu is right, but we also have to consider the transportation cost. Porcelain is fragile and must be transported with great care, which will undoubtedly increase the cost. We need to find a balance."

Xie Huixuan smiled slightly and said firmly, "Mother, I understand your concerns. We can discuss with Manager Liu to see if we can find a solution that is both economical and safe during transportation."

Shopkeeper Liu nodded quickly: "Madam, Miss, don't worry, I have already considered this. I have a friend who specializes in porcelain transportation. He has a special packaging method that can ensure the safety of porcelain while reducing costs. We can cooperate with him."

Gu Zhiyi's eyes flashed with approval. She looked at Shopkeeper Liu and smiled, "Shopkeeper Liu, you are so thoughtful. In this case, let's work out a specific cooperation plan as soon as possible and start cooperation as soon as possible."

……

Xie Huixuan held the box, gently placed it on the table, and carefully opened the lid, revealing the exquisite and gorgeous headpiece. The sunlight shone through the window lattice onto the headpiece, and the jewels and precious stones sparkled, which was amazing.

Mrs. Xie, Gu Zhiyi, sat in the first seat, her eyes fell on the headgear, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She calmly picked up the teacup, blew the tea leaves in the cup gently, and then slowly said: "Hui Xuan, where did this headgear come from?"

Xie Huixuan bowed her head slightly and said humbly, "Mother, this headdress was specially prepared for me by my father when he was alive. He once said that he would give it to me as a gift when I reach the age of 15. Now that my father has passed away, I think this headdress should be inherited by me."

Gu Zhiyi put down the teacup and glanced at Xie Huixuan sharply: "Why didn't your father tell me this before he died?"

Xie Huixuan trembled slightly, but still answered firmly: "Mother, father may think that this is a personal item he gave me, and he doesn't want you to worry. Besides, father always cared for you when he was alive, and he knew that you would not stop me."

Gu Zhiyi was silent for a moment, and a complex look flashed in her eyes as she looked at Xie Huixuan.

"Well, in that case, this headgear belongs to you." Gu Zhiyi said in a flat tone, but her eyes revealed endless loneliness.

Xie Huixuan happily responded. She carefully put away the headgear and looked up at Gu Zhiyi: "Mother, do you think this headgear is too gorgeous and not suitable for me?"
