Chapter 251: No One has been Playing with Her for a Long Time
Upon hearing the second elder’s words, Dugu Xing’s fingers tightened. However, she hesitated. “But what about the family head?”
“The family head has already lost his most basic judgment because of that mother and daughter.” The second elder pondered for a moment. “Don’t go easy on anyone in tomorrow’s compet.i.tion.
“Since Master wants to bring Su Huiqing up, you guys have to suppress her harshly. Even if Master can do anything, he can only protect Su Huiqing for a moment. Can he protect her forever?”
His tone seemed to have other meanings. Dugu Xing was excited and looked at the second elder in surprise.
The second elder didn’t explain.
For the past few days, he had a reason to go against Dugu Heng. When Dugu Heng was talking to the butler, he heard the fact that Dugu Heng was injured.
Thus, he was still afraid of Dugu Heng. However, it was not as respectful as before.
…
The first elder and Dugu Heng had a discussion with those families and didn’t come out for the entire afternoon. Even dinner was brought in by the guards. No one knew what they were talking about.
Su Huiqing went to look for Uncle Chen and talked to him about opening a potion shop. When she was called back by Dugu Heng, the elders and Dugu Heng were all waiting for her in the hall.
Su Huiqing gave them a proper bow before sitting on an empty chair. She supported her chin with one hand and poured herself a cup of tea. She looked extremely lazy.
Looking at her, not to mention the first elder, even Dugu Heng felt a sense of pity.
Apart from pity, they also hated that she had failed.
The members of the Dugu Family would go to the training grounds whenever they were free. They would either go to the training grounds or seek guidance from their teachers. Anyway, they would be busy. For someone like Su Huiqing, she would be idle all day.
“Since Qingqing is here, let’s start.” Dugu Heng reached out and knocked on the table. “After so many days of delay, we have to confirm that some Dugu Family’s idle businesses will be under Qingqing’s name.”
Su Huiqing stopped drinking her tea and looked at Dugu Heng with deep eyes.
Dugu Heng, on the other hand, seemed to know what Su Huiqing wanted to say. He waved his hand and told her not to speak. He knew that the Su Corporation could earn money, but how could the businesses of the aristocratic families be the same as those of the secular world?
Every item used for cultivation was extremely expensive. Some of them even need spirit coins. Of these industries, it was naturally possible to earn spirit coins.
“There is a potion company in the west.” The second elder pondered for a moment. “This is the only idle business for now.”
With that said, no one in the hall spoke. Naturally, there were people in charge of these businesses. These elders were indeed not very clear.
“Second elder, the pharmaceutical company that you mentioned is losing money every year.” The others didn’t know, but the butler behind Dugu Heng was very clear about it as the management of these companies would give him an account book every year. “How can such a company be given to Missy?”
Every family had more or less some properties to maintain their operations.
The Dugu Family was no exception. This pharmaceutical company was opened in the early days. At that time, the Dugu Family still had a few pharmacists.
It had once exploded.
After that, the Ye Family rose into the sky, and all the potion companies in the family were suppressed.
In the end, those potion makers of those families couldn’t even provide enough potions for their own families. They didn’t have the energy to provide potions to the potion shop so these potion companies were all taken back by their respective families.
Until now, only the Dugu Family still had one last piece left. A simple potion maker and their medical prescription was no match for the Ye Family’s. Until now, the situation was no different from bankruptcy.
It was hard for the second elder to find such a fitting company for Su Huiqing.
Upon hearing the butler’s words, Dugu Heng’s expression turned cold. However, his voice was emotionless. “Second elder, I remember that Dugu Xing has two trading companies. With her status, one company is already heaven-defying, right?”
“Miss Xing has always been very talented in managing the company. She has earned quite a bit of money over the past few years for the Dugu Family.” The second elder’s expression was calm, and he didn’t care about Dugu Heng’s sudden cold expression at all. “If we give it to Missy, our Dugu Family will lose quite a bit.”
The second elder paused and looked at Su Huiqing.
“When Miss Xing took over two companies back then, the management of the company wasn’t good.” The second elder smiled. “Miss Xing can do it. I think you can do it too, Missy. What do you think?”
The atmosphere instantly changed.
Dugu Heng was about to speak.
However, at this moment, Su Huiqing raised her eyes and smiled calmly at Dugu Heng. She then looked at the butler. “Do you have that company’s financial statements?”
Financial reports? Those were all that his subordinates had reported to him. The butler immediately submitted the report, printed it out, and handed it to Su Huiqing. “They are all here.”
He looked at Su Huiqing’s indifferent face and could not help but whisper, “Missy, don’t listen to other people’s provocation.”
Su Huiqing gave a faint smile and casually took the financial statement. With one hand on the table, she flipped through it. One page after another, she flipped through several pages in a few seconds.
In just a few minutes, she had flipped through all the financial reports in recent years.
“I want this company.” Su Huiqing closed all the financial statements, lowered her eyes, and maintained a calm expression.
However, her words made most people present change their expressions, especially Dugu Heng. He gave her a look that made their eyes twitch.
However, Su Huiqing acted as if she didn’t see anything and knocked on the table. She looked rather mysterious.
The second elder smiled and looked at Su Huiqing. “Missy is indeed very ambitious.”
His lowered eyes were filled with contempt. Who did she think she was? How dare she accept such a company? Did she think she was Miss Xing?
As expected, she was young and impulsive. She didn’t even manage to see the financial statements clearly before she easily accepted that company.
Everyone, including Dugu Heng, thought that Su Huiqing didn’t see the financial report clearly. After all, she finished flipping through it within a few minutes. No matter how one looked at it, it didn’t seem like she could see the financial report clearly.
“Don’t worry, I have a condition.” Su Huiqing leaned back on her chair, tilted her head, and looked at the second elder with a smile. “In the future, this company will only belong to me. All the profits have nothing to do with the Dugu Family. We don’t need to pay the fees.”
She had just flipped through it, and it was almost full of deficit.
Every year, she depended on the Dugu Family’s allowance to survive.
She had to spend a lot of money to make up for her losses. Coincidentally, she was discussing the matter of opening a potion shop with Uncle Chen, and the second elder had delivered it to her.
However, such a useless company would still belong to the Dugu Family after she saved it. This wouldn’t do for her so she had to make things clear first.
Unexpectedly, after hearing her words, the second elder was overjoyed. “Alright, I promise you, but I also have a condition. Since that company belongs to you, that debt has nothing to do with the Dugu Family. Master, you are not allowed to use the Dugu Family’s a.s.sets to help Missy.”
“Alright.” Su Huiqing turned her head slightly and placed her hand on her lips. Her lips curled into a faint smile. “Butler, go write a doc.u.ment. I will sign a contract with the second elder.”
Su Huiqing’s words were very faint, but they carried a natural aura.
The butler, who had always only listened to Dugu Heng, immediately rushed over to draft a doc.u.ment. He only came to a realization when he brought the doc.u.ment to Su Huiqing’s side.
Su Huiqing lowered her eyes and signed the words—Su Huiqing!
The second elder was also afraid that Su Huiqing would regret her decision and signed his name.
At this point, this contract was established, and both of them had a copy.
Dugu Heng snapped out of his trance and his expression changed. “Qingqing?”
“Master, Missy agreed to all these. Are you going to interfere?” The second elder immediately smiled when he saw that the contract was completed. He felt that it was good for Su Huiqing to be dumb.
He knew very well how much that potion company had lost. The reason they didn’t take it back all these years was that they had too much money to make up for the losses. There was still a batch of people whose salaries were not yet paid.
Su Huiqing held the doc.u.ment and gave Dugu Heng a comforting smile.
Dugu Heng stood rooted to the ground as he looked at Su Huiqing standing under the light. She stood up, revealing her beautiful face hidden in the shadows. He narrowed his eyes, feeling that Su Huiqing was too mysterious.
Su Huiqing stuffed her hands into her pockets. They probably didn’t know that even if she wasn’t a potion maker, this potion company would still come back to life!
It had been a long time since someone wanted to play finance with her.
The second elder stood there and looked at Su Huiqing who was still smiling. He was also smiling, but his smile was cold and mocking.
This Missy had low standards and thought that she could manage the company just like Dugu Xing. She wanted to separate from the Dugu Family, but she didn’t think that this was the International a.s.sociation. How could it be the same as Green City?!
If this pharmaceutical company could be managed so easily, it wouldn’t be like this.
It had nothing to do with the Dugu Family, right? He was just waiting for this Missy Dugu to come back and beg them.
