Xu Musen pushed the franchise contract on his hands away.
This push signified the loss of millions, but Xu Musen didn't want money acquired in such a manner. He could understand everything Zhu Xianglan did for her sister's sake. He himself could tolerate anything, but when the matter hurt An Nuannuan and Yao Mingyue, Xu Musen didn't have the right to forgive on their behalf.
Zhu Yulan bit her lip, her brows also slightly furrowed.
"But this is my and your sister's business, I don't bla you, and Nuannuan and Ming Yue won't bla you now either," Xu Musen said as he looked at Zhu Yulan. Although the issue originated from her, she herself was also a victim, and Xu Musen had witnessed everything she had done.
Zhu Yulan's fists clenched, but finally she shook her head, her gaze becoming more determined, "I am her sister, everything she did was for , so I should do sothing for her as well. Franchising these tea shops was indeed to help you, but... it's not just about repaying a favor."
As Zhu Yulan spoke, her gaze regained its spark, and she looked at Xu Musen's face, her slightly shy eyes now reflecting a frank and relaxed ease, "Actually, I have taken a liking to you."
"Cough cough..."
This ti, it was Xu Musen's turn to choke. Zhu Yulan's cheeks slightly reddened as she passed the lemon water over again.
Xu Musen grabbed it and took a sip to clear his throat, looking at the pretty young lady in front of him: "Boss Zhu, you shouldn't make such jokes carelessly. The two at ho... that person is very strict with ."
Xu Musen almost let slip.
"What I an is, I have taken a liking to your abilities. Even if repaying a favor wasn't an issue, I would still want to operate several franchise stores. Although I haven't really achieved anything during this ti, I feel that the most valuable experience was tagging along with you. I admire your abilities and potential, and my investnt in you now is also for myself," Zhu Yulan declared, now much more composed and without her earlier awkwardness, speaking with ease and confidence.
Only then did she truly exhibit the deanor of a Huhai heiress.
Xu Musen couldn't help but praise her internally; a rich second generation that had wised up had indeed taken advantage of the best opportunities in every respect.
My girl Yu Lan has the makings of a great empress!
After Zhu Yulan finished speaking, she looked at Xu Musen, her almond eyes twinkling with playful colors as she teasingly asked, "Boss Xu, what did you think I ant by what I just said?"
Xu Musen took a sip of lemon water and laughed with a "hehe": "Hehe, Boss Zhu, rest assured, I know my place. I, the toad, would not covet the swan at of a lady like you."
Xu Musen spoke in his hotown dialect.
Zhu Yulan couldn't help but laugh, but deep down in her eyes, there was a hint of indescribable lancholy. She joked, "But in fairy tales, isn't the swan at always eaten by the warty toad?"
"Unfortunately, fairy tales are deceiving."
Xu Musen shook his head. It must be said that the identities of the lords of Huhai and Jinghai in the past were akin to those beneath the city walls. It's just that the true origin, Yu, really had faded into obscurity.
"Yet you haven't eaten any less..."
Zhu Yulan pouted, looking at Xu Musen, montarily unsure whether he was genuinely naïve or feigning naivety... Clearly, he had An Nuannuan, and now his relationship with Yao Mingyue seed a bit too intimate.
All the swan at has almost been eaten by you, the warty toad.
Zhu Yulan silently withdrew her gaze, perhaps she had indeed entered the scene too late. Then she would... catch up in other ways.
She pushed the contract back to Xu Musen.
"So now, may I have the honor of asking if I am qualified to franchise your company's tea shops?"
Xu Musen exchanged a glance with her and swiftly took the contract: "Just waiting for Boss Zhu's tily help! Congratulations to Boss Zhu for now becoming our franchise's biggest shareholder!"
Xu Musen changed his tune as quickly as Yao Mingyue would, the spousal resemblance was strong.
Zhu Yulan was montarily taken aback, then smilingly said, "As the major shareholder, a big client, don't you have any special treatnt for , Boss Xu?"
Xu Musen pondered seriously for a mont; indeed, for a major client who could invest several millions with a re gesture, anyone would need to provide good service.
The red-carpet treatnt was out of the question, and giving a red envelope was pointless for a young lady who wouldn't value it.
Therefore, Xu Musen looked at Zhu Yulan: "You tell ."
"Simple."
Zhu Yulan's lips curved upward, her almond eyes shining with a moist and aningful gaze.
"Make a few als sotis, occasionally, I too want to experience... the feeling of being taken care of, just like them."
Yes, she had played her ACE!
