Chapter 38: I Will Marry You As Long As There Is an Exchange of Interests
"puff!"
After hearing what Shen Shenshen said, Zhu Zhixi, even though she was a well-educated legitimate daughter of a royal family, couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of tea.
"Snapped!"
The lid of Zhu Yanxiao's precious thin-walled bone china teacup slipped onto the table, knocking off a piece of the glaze.
He is the eldest son of the royal prince of Dongxiang Kingdom, the heir of the royal palace, 23 years old this year, single, the dream lover of thousands of girls in the capital. Just now, for the first time in his life, he was proposed to by a girl whom he had never even looked at!
Looking at the reactions of these two people, Shen Shenshen felt secretly happy.
Seeing that her goal was achieved, she continued to argue: "So, I don't have any money, and Prince Zhu will definitely not look down on me if I pledge my love to you. So the loss is not caused by me, Shen Shenshen, being irresponsible and making excuses to shirk responsibility, right? Ziyuan, how about this, if we make money, we split it. If we lose money... I will treat you and Zhixi to dinner at the best restaurant in the capital... five dinners. How do you think?"
"First."
"what?"
"The first condition I just mentioned is fine." Zhu Yanxiao showed an ambiguous smile on his face and said, "If we make money, we'll split it. If we lose money, Miss Shen will pledge herself to you."
???
While Shen Shenshen had three question marks on his head, his mouth was open wide enough to fit a whole boiled egg.
Well~ this expression also applies to Zhu Zhixi.
Zhu Yanxiao looked at Shen Shenshen's expression, and his inner evil taste was very satisfied. However, he raised his eyebrows slightly and continued, "I think the proposal of Second Miss Shen is very reasonable. When everyone cooperates in business, how can they not take risks and just reap the benefits? Since there is no money, if you lose money, it is indeed fair to use yourself to pay off the debt. This prince admires Second Miss Shen's mind very much.
"No. Um, Ziyuan, about this matter, I think, no, I just mentioned it casually, Ziyuan, don't take it seriously."
Shen Shenshen suddenly became incoherent and stuttered.
"Oh? So Miss Shen thinks that marriage, which concerns her whole life, is just a joke? No matter who the person is, as long as there is an exchange of benefits, she will marry him, right?"
Shen Shenshen listened to Zhu Yanxiao's words and felt that his tone became colder and colder. In the end, she even heard a hint of anger. It must be her illusion.
"No, Ziyuan, you misunderstood."
She realized that she had offended this big money sponsor.
If the big money owner turns hostile and says: Why should I cooperate with you? Who do you think you are? Goodbye! Wouldn't I be unable to earn a penny in the future? Not only do I not know other nobles in Dongxiang, but who has a thigh as thick as the thigh of the palace? So whatever the money owner says is what it is. Shen Shenshen, you are 32 years old, and you still can't learn to seek benefits and avoid harm?
After figuring this out, Shen Shenshen immediately changed into the soft and sweet voice that his younger brothers loved the most when he flirted with them in his previous life, and this time he added a flattering expression.
"Just now, I suddenly heard Ziyuan asking me to bear the loss, and I panicked. This time I came to discuss the matter of Heyinlou with you. If the worst-case scenario really happens, I really don't have the money to pay you back. I couldn't think of a good way at the moment, so I just said something random. A man like Ziyuan... um... (Oh my god, how is it described in novels?) A man who is like a banished immortal, how can I possibly be worthy of him? I still know my own weight... No... I still have a good sense of self-awareness."
"So, you regretted it after you said you would pledge your love to me?"
Zhu Yanxiao got angry for no reason when he saw Shen Shenshen's flattering expression. He asked questions with a furious tone, and even forgot to address her as "Second Miss Shen", who was usually gentle and polite. Of course, he also automatically ignored Shen Shenshen's flattering words.
Shen Shen continued to flatter herself, "It's not that I regretted giving myself to him, it's that I shouldn't have said such unrealistic words to Zi Yuan. How could I be worthy of a god-like figure like the prince? It's all my fault."
After that, she stopped talking, thinking in her heart: Oh, I was just joking, can't you tell it's a joke? ! Who dares to discuss marriage with you, Xiao Zhu? I don't want to become the public enemy of all the unmarried ladies in Beijing.
Zhu Yanxiao narrowed his beautiful phoenix eyes and stared at Shen Shenshen. He was very unhappy at the moment, and he couldn't help but exude the royal pressure. Our little Zhu didn't understand why he was so angry.
The two of them didn't speak anymore, and the whole study was silent.
Zhu Zhixi, who was shocked by Shen Shenshen's words, came back to her senses and felt that there was something strange between her brother and her friend. She felt that she had a good time eating this melon today. But Shen Shenshen was her good friend after all, so she had to help her out.
"Um... Brother and Shen Shen, I think whether we make money or lose money is a later matter. We should first discuss whether Heyinlou is operated according to Shen Shen's suggestion."
"correct."
"No."
Two voices sounded at the same time. A pleasant female voice: "Yes." A cold male voice: "No."
Shen Shenshen learned his lesson this time. He smiled foolishly at Zhu Yanxiao and made a servile gesture to him, saying "Please speak."
Zhu Yanxiao frowned and glanced at her, saying, "The management issue that Zhixi mentioned is very important, but the silver allocation issue just mentioned is also crucial. This is related to whether the manager is attentive."
Shen Shen quickly nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, what the prince said is right."
Zhu Yanxiao looked helplessly at the servile girl opposite him, calmed down, and spoke again in a calm tone: "Second Miss Shen, how much profit do you want?"
Shen Shenshen raised his hand with a silly smile, and made a number three, and said with a guilty conscience: "Three... percent"? Seeing Zhu Yanxiao's cold face, he immediately changed his finger to two and said: "Two percent"? He found that Zhu Yanxiao frowned, and finally said with a frustrated and resigned face: "One percent, one percent is okay." He made a number 1 with his finger and shook it in front of Zhu Yanxiao's face.
Zhu Yanxiao's eyes moved around Shen Shenshen's face, and he said calmly and coldly, "Since Second Miss Shen has pledged her body to me, this prince cannot be too stingy. Let's follow Second Miss Shen's initial proposal. If Heyinlou makes a profit, 30% of the profit will be given to Second Miss Shen. If it loses money, Second Miss Shen will pledge her body to me."
"Okay, okay, okay." Shen Shenshen's face blossomed with joy: Thirty percent of silver, a black-hearted jewelry shop that sells one hairpin for six taels of silver, how much money must it make in a year? I'm rich, I'm rich, if I do a good job with this shop, the palace will have other industries, one after another, hahahahahaha, I will be the richest woman in Dongxiang Kingdom in the future.
Then, she suddenly felt something was wrong. Hmm? Promise yourself? Why do I feel like I sold myself out without realizing it today?
Shen Shen immediately looked at Zhu Yanxiao with timid eyes, grinned, and asked in a flattering manner:
"Um... Ziyuan... If I marry you, will I be your wife or concubine?"
