Pick up a princess to be your wife

“What does ‘Dong Zhuo enters the capital’ mean?” He Xianzhi asked.

"I'll find a way to get 10,000 catties of grain, and we'll pretend that we've gotten a million catties of grain, and sell it all at a low price."

When Zhou Wanfu learns of the situation, he will surely panic and sell off the grain at a low price.

When he runs out of food, that's when he's at his weakest.

Li Mu squinted as he spoke.

He Xianzhi saw the true nature of a cunning businessman in Li Mu.

Li Ertie suddenly realized why Li Mu wanted to cooperate with He Xianzhi.

If it were just their bluffing, Zhou Wanfu would never have believed that he and Li Mu could possess a million catties of grain.

Even if Zhou Wanfu believed it, they could still openly rob them.

But it's different with He Xianzhi. Although He's family has fallen on hard times, his wealth is still far beyond what Zhou Wanfu can match, so Zhou Wanfu will definitely trust him.

“According to your method, we must sell a large amount of grain before Zhou Wanfu will panic. But even if we get 10,000 catties of grain, I'm afraid we won’t be able to sell it for very long, right?” He Xianzhi asked.

Li Mu's idea was good, but she felt it lacked feasibility.

Zhou Wanfu wasn't stupid; he would never immediately lower the price and sell off grain as soon as he heard that He Xianzhi owned it.

“We definitely can’t dump our grain on outsiders, so we have to hire our own people to act as extras. When it’s time to sell the grain, our own people will crowd at the front to buy it, pushing all the ordinary people away,” Li Mu said.

Hearing this, He Xianzhi's eyes lit up.

This is a brilliant plan, but it still has some flaws.

“We don’t have many people, and it’s the same familiar faces every day, so Zhou Wanfu can easily spot the clues,” He Xianzhi said.

"That's simple. Our people can just change their appearance every day. For example, they can disguise themselves and change their clothes. When it's crowded, who will recognize who is who?" Li Mu said with a faint smile.

He certainly has the potential to be a shrewd businessman.

He Xianzhi originally thought that Li Mu was just having wild ideas, but he didn't expect that he already had a meticulous plan.

Using his identity as a cover, he sold grain continuously every day, not afraid that the other party would not fall for his tricks.

He Xianzhi had to find a way to bring Li Mu under his command.

Perhaps He Xianzhi will be able to rely on Li Mu to propel the He family to new heights in the future.

On He Xianzhi's cold face, a picture of spring warmth and blooming flowers suddenly appeared at the corner of her mouth.

“It’s not impossible for me to help you, but I have one condition,” He Xianzhi said.

"Please speak, Miss He."

“Regardless of whether this matter succeeds or fails, you must join Jubaoge. I can also take you in as well,” He Xianzhi said.

Li Mu's face showed a conflicted expression.

She still hasn't given up on the idea of ​​being kept by a sugar daddy...

But Li Ertie jumped up excitedly.

This isn't a condition offered by the other party; it's clearly the other party offering themselves a free meal.

With Jubaoge as my backing, will I ever have to worry about food and drink for the rest of my life?

But something unexpected happened to Li Ertie.

"No."

Li Mu simply refused.

“Brother, you… Manager He, my little brother might not have thought things through yet. He has no idea what joining Jubaoge means. I’ll give him a good talking to.” Li Ertie said urgently.

It's not that Li Mu hasn't thought things through; he's already rejected himself several times.

“We can cooperate sincerely, but I will not join Jubaoge,” Li Mu said.

Li Ertie grew anxious and said repeatedly, "You ungrateful brat, do you know who this is? Manager He is the eldest daughter of the He family head. It's a blessing you earned in your past life that she's taken a liking to you."

Li Mu ignored Li Ertie and said to He Xianzhi, "If Miss He is unwilling to cooperate, then forget it."

"How can you just let it go? We have to cooperate! Didn't you want to take down Zhou Wanfu? Without Manager He's strong support, how can you fight him?" Li Ertie became increasingly anxious.

This is a golden opportunity for him to reach the next level; he might not have another chance like this in his lifetime.

"You really don't want to?" He Xianzhi asked.

Li Mu shook his head slightly.

He Xianzhi originally wanted to take this opportunity to accept Li Mu, but she did not expect Li Mu to be so resolute.

If it were according to her usual temper, she would have driven Li Mu away long ago.

She knew a whole bunch of talented young men, and no one dared to refuse her conditions in front of her.

However, things are indeed different now.

The benefits of cooperating with Li Mu outweigh the drawbacks.

“Then I reserve my opinion; we can continue to cooperate.” He Xianzhi sighed inwardly.

She refused to believe that she couldn't win over Li Mu on her own.

"Miss He gave me two antiques, and I'll go exchange them for grain as soon as possible," Li Mu said.

He Xianzhi gave Li Mu two antiques, and then Li Mu and Li Ertie left Jubaoge.

"He, he's so ungrateful! He clearly needs Miss's help, yet he's so arrogant. I want to slap him a couple of times to wake him up!" Xiao Lan finally snapped.

“I only learned from talking to him today that he has great ambitions. If he can survive in this chaotic world, he will surely achieve something in the future,” He Xianzhi said.

"He was leering at the young lady again just now. I don't believe someone like him can accomplish anything. Humph."

"You should treat Young Master Li better in the future."

"I won't."

"When you do good to others, even if blessings haven't arrived, misfortune has already departed; when you do evil to others, even if misfortune hasn't arrived, blessings have already departed. Remember this saying."

……

Li Ertie was completely baffled.

"What's wrong with you, kid? Did a donkey kick your brain? That's He Xianzhi! She extended an olive branch to you, and you didn't take it? What are you thinking?" Li Ertie was exasperated.

“Our cooperation in dealing with Zhou Wanfu and stabilizing public sentiment in Luyang County will benefit her business. Why should I agree to her other conditions?” Li Mu asked calmly.

"You little brat, you really don't know what's good for you! Didn't I tell you what the He family is in the Great Yan Dynasty? If you can enter the He family, you'll be rich and powerful for generations to come!" Li Ertie said irritably.

"How can a sparrow know the ambition of a swan?"

"What does that mean?" Li Ertie didn't quite understand the words.

"In other words, a man should have the ambition to marry someone like He Xianzhi. I can marry her, but as for me to be her servant, forget about it in the next life," Li Mu said.

"Oh~"

Li Ertie was particularly surprised.

“You dare to have such thoughts? A woman like He Xianzhi is only fit for kings and generals,” Li Ertie said.

"Princes, generals and prime ministers, would you rather have the seed?"

"What do you mean?"
