Yuezheng Xiao respected her decision, and did not get himself involved in the production.
But in Ms. Mi Junior’s eyes, that was dumb and stupid.
Yuezheng Xiao did not believe Ms. Mi Junior’s claim.
Qiao Xuan was never going to make a promise to Ms. Mi Junior without telling him first about it. His Second Aunt-in-law was trying to be smart, wasn’t she?
She was thinking of tricking him as if he were three years old.
“What are you talking about, Second Aunt-in-law? I don’t understand!”
Ms. Mi Junior smiled. “Stop pretending in front of me. That is not funny. I will put in some capital for your lipsticks business. You won’t lose anything.”
“You are joking, Second Aunt-in-law.” Yuezheng Xiao smiled. “Why is Mrs. Shao involved again? That business has nothing to do with Mrs. Shao. She never talks about things which have nothing to do with her!”
Nis. Mi Junior felt very annoyed by what she heard. “You are humiliating me. You are a man, and cosmetics aren’t a good business for you to be involved in. Why bother? You can give me the business. I promise you that you will earn more than what you have today! You will not lose anything, why turn me down?”
“To put it straightforwardly, I want this business. We can work together. I promise never to ruin your interests!”
In Ms. Mi Junior’s opinion, the business was really profitable. She only needed to get as many products as she could, without bothering about anything more. It would simply help her earn money and contacts.
She had never been as earnest to a business deal as this one. She really wanted to get it.
Yuezheng Xiao sneered. He got up and said, “Second Aunt-in-law, you are really strange. If I want to expand the scale, I have my own capital. Why should I share the profits?”
You are so annoying, Second Aunt-in-law!’
“…” Ms. Mi Junior’s face sank. After a while, she said, “Then tell me, is Mrs.
Shao behind the lipsticks?”
“Can you swear that you won’t lie?”
“Why should I swear about it?” Yuezheng Xiao asked her curiously. “That is a business secret, Second Aunt-in-law. Sorry, I can’t reveal a thing!’
“Don’t be upset. I am leaving now.”
Nis. Mi Junior sneered as she looked at Yuezheng Xiao’s retreating figure. “Nothing can be concealed forever. I will see how much longer you will be able to hide the secret? You won’t be able to do it for long because there are too many people who are interested in lipsticks!”
Yuezheng Xiao knew what she was thinking.
But he was confident enough to be able to safeguard Qiao Xuan and Shao
Yunduan.
It seemed that he would need to get the Xie Family involved and share some profits with them.
The Xie Family had an imperial background and they were a n.o.ble family. The Xie Family should be able to safeguard whatever they wanted to.
They were capable enough to do so!
Soon it was July, and the 20th would be the day for examination. There were already many Cultivated Talents who were in the province.
The hostels were filled with people, and many scholars dressed in long robes and square hats could be seen at restaurants and tea houses.
Luckily, Shao Yunduan had a yard where the two of them could stay without being disturbed. It was s.p.a.cious and quiet enough.
Shao Yunduan studied accordingly, and sometimes, he attended the gatherings held by the scholars..
