After hearing what Xue Jing said, Empress Cao became even more interested. "Oh? Then let her come over."

Xue Jing: "Yes."

Chen Xiuying was at home, reading over her written plan. Faced with enormous profits, human nature is always greedy. But she hoped the other party would be as clear-headed as she was.

Glass products have huge profits, and they can only be developed to the maximum extent if they are placed in the hands of the state, and they can also ensure that the whole family has no worries.

Just as she was thinking about it, Uncle Fu came to report that Manager Chu from Datong Trading Company was here to pick her up. Upon hearing this, Chen Xiuying immediately stood up, straightened her clothes, encouraged herself, and then took the written plan and went out with Qing'er.

Along the way, Chen Xiuying closed her eyes and rested, silently thinking about how to persuade the other party to agree with her own ideas. Seeing her wife like this, Qing'er also remained silent as if facing a great enemy.

When they arrived at the place, Xue Jing came out to greet them.

Because the master's identity was sensitive, Xue Jing asked Qing'er to wait outside. He simply told Chen Xiuying that the master was the wife of a wealthy family and it was inconvenient for her to show up in public, and she could not stay out for a long time, so he asked her to keep her words brief.

Then he brought the person to Queen Cao.

Chen Xiuying's already anxious heart became even more nervous after hearing what he said. When she saw Empress Cao, she first bowed respectfully and said, "I am Zhou, a commoner, greeting the Madam."

Empress Cao never showed the same majesty outside as she did in the palace. Instead, she was very kind and amiable. She personally stepped forward and helped Chen Xiuying up.

"Madam, please stand up! Ever since Madam Zhou and her family arrived in the capital, Xue Jing has often mentioned you two to me. Thanks to you two, our Datong Trading Company's reputation is growing day by day."

Seeing her praising herself and her husband, Chen Xiuying also replied in a fake tone, "Thanks to the head manager for his appreciation, and thanks to the company, our Zhou family's living standards are also rising step by step."

After the two of them had finished bragging about their business, they smiled at each other.

Empress Cao smiled and patted Chen Xiuying's hand, saying, "I'm sure Xue Jing has already told you that it's not easy for me to come out. Let's not talk about these empty words. I heard from Xue Jing that you want to see me. I wonder what it is for?"

Seeing that the other party was quite easy to get along with, Chen Xiuying also relaxed. She looked at Empress Cao and asked instead of answering, "Madam, do you believe in past lives?"

Empress Cao was rather bewildered by her question, but she remained silent and replied with a Zen saying, "Buddha said that the causes of the previous life are the results of this life, and the cycle of fate is endless. Presumably, there must be a previous life!"

Why are you asking this suddenly? Is it related to what you want to tell me?"

Chen Xiuying nodded. "If I don't explain it to you first, I'm worried that you'll doubt me after seeing the ingredients."

"Oh?" Empress Cao was becoming more and more interested in Chen Xiuying. "Tell me about it."

Chen Xiuying knew that her time was precious, so she didn't say anything more and handed her a piece of paper with the glass raw materials and instructions.

Queen Cao took it and was shocked after reading it, "How did you connect these raw materials together?" Ordinary people would never think of this and would not do this.

Chen Xiuying was helpless. "That's what I wanted to say. As you can see, anyone who sees this piece of paper will find it incredible. In fact, I was also skeptical at first.

Eight years ago, my husband, daughter, and I were on our way home when our car overturned. My daughter and I lost our memories. Since then, I've been having strange dreams.

In my dream, I live in a very powerful country, where the standard of living is much more advanced than ours. In this country, girls can pursue their dreams, do what they like, and have their own careers without having to rely on anyone.

It was also from then on that I would occasionally dream of some strange recipes and methods, which were only found in that world.

At first it was just some delicious food, but then it gradually became more and more. I remember some things clearly, as if I had experienced them myself, and some were vague, as if I was just a passer-by.

Every time I woke up from a dream, I would write down the things I remembered clearly and then try to do them. Unexpectedly, many of them succeeded. So I thought that maybe the car accident had awakened some of my past life memories. Otherwise, I would not be able to explain what was going on.

Chen Xiuying directly attributed the matter of the prescription to her memories of her past life, otherwise, she didn't know how to explain it.

Empress Cao remained silent after hearing her story. The world is full of strange things, and Mrs. Zhou's situation might actually exist. Otherwise, there's no way to explain her strange behavior.

Just like this glass, most people would not think that sand, wood ash and shells mixed together will have a completely different appearance after burning.

Seeing that she was silent, Chen Xiuying did not stop, but continued: "Madam, the second thing I want to tell you is about glass making.

I have listed in this plan the products that can be made from glass and their uses, based on what I saw in my dream."

After saying that, he handed her the plan.

Empress Cao didn't continue until she had finished reading the entire plan: "As you can see, glass is used extensively in that world, and the profits are staggering. If it were only circulated among private merchants, trouble would likely arise.

I personally believe that only by relying on the power of the state and producing and selling on a large scale can we enrich the country and benefit the people while ensuring our safety and well-being."

Empress Cao read the plan and nodded slightly. "Madam Zhou's plan is very detailed, but it involves many aspects and requires careful consideration. However, Madam, your foresight and vision are greatly appreciated by me."

As for the imperial court, this lady will go to mediate.

Don't worry, the things you mentioned are only known to you and me, and will not be shared with any third party. Regarding the glass manufacturing, how about we publicly announce that it was made by the Datong Trading Company Research Institute?"

This was exactly what Chen Xiuying had been asking for. She quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, Madam, for your consideration. I am deeply grateful!"

Empress Cao pulled her up and teased her, "Are you stupid? Datong Trading Company has taken so much credit from you, and not only are you not angry, you're even thanking them."

"I have to thank you. If it weren't for Datong Trading Company covering up for me, I think many people would have mistaken me for a witch." After Chen Xiuying finished speaking, she felt funny herself.

Queen Cao was also mischievous. "It's okay to treat her as a fairy. Such a smart fairy, they don't want her, but I do!" After saying that, the two of them laughed again.

After laughing, Empress Cao said seriously, "I've made note of your contribution. Datong Trading Company will be your umbrella of protection in the future. If you find anything else that you can't explain, just tell Xue Jing. The commission rate will remain the same! I'll tell him later, so you can just do it without worry!"

At this point, Chen Xiuying finally let go of the worry she had been holding and hurriedly expressed her gratitude: "Thank you, Madam, for your help!"

As the two were talking, Zhihua's voice came from outside, reminding them, "Madam, it's time to go home."

Empress Cao felt she hadn't talked enough with Chen Xiuying, but time didn't allow, so she had to stop there. They had finished talking about everything, and since Fangruo was still covering up for her, it was time for her to go back.

Then he patted Chen Xiuying's hand and said, "I had a very pleasant conversation with you this time. I will see you again someday."
