Shen Muxue felt helpless about this praise and didn't argue any further.
When the two arrived at Yunfang Inn, she asked An Lan to wait outside and went into a private room on the second floor alone.
Before the door opened, Han Chenghe's stern voice could be heard from inside: "There are problems with these bills. Please check them again. Since I've asked you to come work here, you must use your real ability to win the trust of my boss. Otherwise, people will laugh at my incompetent management, and how can I establish my prestige in the future..."
Shen Muxue gently pushed the door open.
In front of me, I saw Han Chenghe standing next to Liu Yue, pointing at a page of an account book and accusing her.
However, Liu Yue exuded confidence and refuted her question clearly and logically, "This is where your store's accounting errors lie. I've asked you about them several times, but you've downplayed them, saying they were minor matters and nothing to worry about. And there's that part, where your trust in one of the storekeepers prevented him from giving a clear explanation. And there's this part..."
After hearing the other party's analysis, Han Chenghe was obviously lacking in confidence. After realizing that the person who came in was Shen Muxue, he immediately changed his tone and said, "Forget it, let's leave it at that for now. Take these things back and take a closer look. We are currently in urgent need of people for business expansion, so you should pay close attention to the situation."
Then Liu Yue closed the folder, nodded slightly to Shen Muxue, and turned to leave the room.
Looking at Liu Yue's back and then at Han Chenghe who was still standing there motionless, Shen Muxue's eyes showed a hint of amusement. Han Chenghe immediately began to explain: "Xue'er, don't let your imagination run wild. There is absolutely no possibility between her and me."
"The satin supply in Kyoto is extremely tight right now, and the stock we have in stock has instantly increased in value tenfold. Due to a shortage of manpower, I had no choice but to ask her to help."
Shen Muxue smiled and said, "I didn't ask any more questions."
"Then I have to explain. I can't let anyone misunderstand me."
Han Chenghe sat down in the seat Liu Yue had just occupied, casually picked up the teacup she had used, and took a sip of tea. "Okay, let's not talk about her anymore. What's the matter that made you so anxious to see me?"
"I want you to lend out all the money you've earned during this period."
"Loan sharking?"
Han Chenghe was surprised.
In Dasheng, lending money at high interest rates is illegal, but there are still powerful people doing this business in the underground transactions.
In order to gain more benefits, those who are rich will invest their money and expect subsequent dividends.
For those who are short of funds, they can borrow money by using their property or land as collateral.
Even if you don't have these things, you can still borrow money by using your personal identity as collateral.
No matter which party is involved, the real winners are always those who manipulate it all.
Generally speaking, decent people will not associate with people in this gray area.
"If we were discovered doing this, I'm afraid all our investments would be lost. Xue'er, can you tell me why you had to do this?"
Shen Muxue said lightly: "Isn't it just to make money quickly?"
"Everything we are doing now is legal business, there is no need to take this risk."
Han Chenghe tried to persuade her, "This money was earned through hard work. I think it's safer to go through legitimate channels."
Shen Muxue didn't like forcing others. She suggested, "How about this: let's split the income from the past few days, plus my initial investment, and that portion will belong to me. From now on, all matters related to the embroidery and satin will be left to you to handle. I won't interfere anymore."
This means withdrawing from the shares.
Han Chenghe was quite surprised: "Xue'er, have you really thought it through? Do you really want to do this loan business?"
"I've thought about it carefully. This is why I came to see you today."
After saying that, Shen Muxue took out the contract that he had signed earlier from his sleeve.
Han Chenghe was stunned and looked at the other person in disbelief.
"It seems that in my heart, you are still considered an outsider..."
Shen Muxue pushed the document in front of Han Chenghe: "Second brother, this is serious. Although we are no longer doing business together, I still regard you as a family member. Please sign this first."
"I don't want to sign it!"
He took the paper excitedly and tore it into pieces.
Han Chenghe's chest heaved with emotion. "For me, the significance of doing business together isn't about profit, but about getting closer to Xue'er. Mother once told me that your time in the Prime Minister's Mansion was bitter, and that the Han family had let you down. From now on, I should treat you like my own sister. Until now, I thought you had opened up to our family, but now I find that you want to sever ties with us whenever problems arise. You said you saw me as a brother, but is that really the case?"
Every word was like a heavy hammer hitting Shen Muxue's heart.
She held back the tears that were about to fall and responded, "You need to calm down and think about it now. It's not too late to reply after you have figured it out."
After saying that, Shen Muxue walked out.
At this time, Han Chenghe spoke again: "In fact, you can choose to confess to me the difficulties you are facing and let me accompany you to face them together. As long as you say it, I will not hesitate to sacrifice everything I have."
Help at all costs?
Why?
Shen Muxue shook her head in doubt.
After a moment's silence, she simply replied, "No need to bother so much."
Looking at this stubborn woman, Han Chenghe declared firmly, "Since that's the case, I will do as you say and return all the funds from the sales to the lenders. By the end of this month, everyone in the black market will know how much wealth Han Chenghe has earned!"
Hearing this, Shen Muxue took a deep breath and said, "Thank you very much."
The moment Shen Muxue opened the door, Han Chenghe said again: "Xue'er, remember, I am your second brother."
Shen Muxue nodded slightly and left quickly.
Her steps were hurried, as if she was eager to escape.
On the way back.
Shen Muxue asked An Lan with a puzzled look on her face: "Do you think I should trust the Han family?"
As a personal maid, An Lan had also met the Chu brothers and sisters several times.
In response to her doubts, An Lan replied, "The second son of the Han family is humorous and considerate. He has outstanding business skills and is very protective of his younger sister. He should be trustworthy. As for the young lady of the Han family, she seems innocent and naive, like a little tail that always follows you. I believe she would not do anything to harm you. You should have confidence in them."
Looking at the simple-minded girl in front of him, Shen Muxue gave a bitter smile.
"But I've lived in that mansion for many years and never met anyone who treated me like this. I used to think Ling Fan was that kind of person. Even in the darkest days, my heart still kept a light. Until one day I discovered that he actually wanted to kill me for others. From that moment on, I was left alone."
She rubbed her forehead vigorously.
