Chapter 1638 - 1633: Speechless with Shock

"Am I lying, Manager Zhang? You can go to Qingshan Town and personally ask Chen Ru at her fabric store!

Anyway, I also have a restaurant in town, if you hear from Chen Ru’s mouth that the person isn’t me, Mu Shuangshuang, Manager Zhang, you are fully welcome to make trouble for me!" Mu Shuangshuang said.

Manager Zhang’s face turned pig-liver red.

He thought about how he had been played around like a fool.

Also, the words he said when he didn’t know Mu Shuangshuang was the person he had been looking for...

Deep down, he began to resent Mu Shuangshuang even more!

"Even if that person is you, it’s just a matter of money. How much do you want? Our Zhang Family can afford it!" Manager Zhang said stubbornly.

"Manager Zhang, that’s not what you said before. Sixty taels for one drawing, not a penny more or less!

I’ve told you before, at this price, I won’t sell!" Mu Shuangshuang said.

"Also, the fabric store that bet with Mr. Zheng must be given to me! You can choose to take this two hundred and ten taels of silver or choose to lose face in Qianzhou Prefecture!

If today, Manager Zhang doesn’t go with me to the government to register, I will have people spread everywhere in Qianzhou Prefecture that you don’t keep your word, lost the bet, and reneged on your promise!

For a businessman to go far, it’s nothing more than being supported by trust. If you ruin your reputation, I’d like to see who will still do business with you!"

Mu Shuangshuang’s attitude had completely changed from before.

Previously, she had some respect for Manager Zhang, after all, he was brought by Zheng Zhi and was a famous fabric store businessman in Qianzhou Prefecture.

But now, her impression of Manager Zhang had plummeted to rock bottom!

When it comes to being a rascal, Mu Shuangshuang has never lost.

After all, those with nothing to lose aren’t afraid of those with something to lose.

"You..." Manager Zhang didn’t expect Mu Shuangshuang to suddenly play this trick.

For a moment, he was almost so angry that he couldn’t breathe.

Zheng Zhi held back his laughter, pretended to speak chilly words beside him.

"Manager Zhang, it’s just a small shop, not much money! Plus, when you bet, you said it was just for fun. I saw you having fun when you were gambling with me, so you might as well accept your loss!

Otherwise, as the little girl said, if this gets out, Manager Zhang will lose face and other fabric store owners with their eyes on you will seize the opportunity!"

"Fine, isn’t it just a fabric store? I’ll give it! I really want to see what good business this little girl can do after she takes over the fabric store!"

Manager Zhang said.

"Shuangshuang, aren’t you going to thank Manager Zhang for his generosity!" Zheng Zhi said.

"Thank you!" Mu Shuangshuang nodded timely.

"Hmph!" Manager Zhang snorted coldly.

He took out both the house deed and land deed and slammed them on the table in front of Mu Shuangshuang.

Zheng Zhi got up and personally wrote a contract.

Both parties pressed their fingerprints on the spot, transferring the house deed and land deed to Mu Shuangshuang’s hands.

At the same time, Zheng Zhi instructed the shopkeeper of Jiu Si Xuan to go to the county to handle the registration and documentation of the property’s transfer.

Once everything was settled, Zheng Zhi appeared enthusiastic.

"Manager Zhang worked hard today, I, Zheng Zhi, toast you!" Zheng Zhi said.

"Zheng Zhi, I hope you will always protect this girl!"

Leaving these ambiguous words, Manager Zhang left in anger.

Once he left, Zheng Zhi immediately called the staff to replace everything in the private room.

Shortly after, new food was brought up.

Despite being far past meal time.

"Eat more, today you’ve scored a big win, you must reward yourself!" Zheng Zhi said.

Mu Shuangshuang didn’t hold back, eating and drinking appropriately.

After eating and drinking enough, she waited for Zheng Zhi’s inquiry.

Zheng Zhi’s eyes were filled with teasing, shock, and admiration. He looked at Mu Shuangshuang and asked, "You drew those designs, I didn’t even know!"

Zheng Zhi himself was in the garment business!

He knew about Chen Ru earlier than Manager Zhang.

However, just like Manager Zhang, he also found Chen Ru difficult to deal with.

Moreover, Chen Ru wasn’t someone easy to mess with!

By calculation, she is somewhat related to the Xue Family.

Who doesn’t know that Xue Shu from the Xue Family is now at the peak of his career in the court.

Xue Shu has even become an imperial envoy, going to the Northwest to supervise battles.

This time again they won a battle, Xue Shu will surely be valued even more.

Not to mention being a direct family relative, even being just a collateral relative of the Xue Family requires careful consideration to avoid trouble!

"Now you know!" Mu Shuangshuang said.

"I know, but I still find it hard to believe!" Zheng Zhi said weakly.

"..."

Mu Shuangshuang looked helpless.

"Those clothing designs were drawn for Chen Ru by me a long time ago. In between, for a long period, I didn’t contact her, I almost forgot about it.

Now, I don’t even know what kind of clothes her store is producing, let alone that Manager Zhang would be interested in those designs!" Mu Shuangshuang said.

Mu Shuangshuang herself was quite surprised.

Especially when she heard that what Manager Zhang was asking for was actually her own drawings.

"Shuangshuang, don’t think I’m being materialistic! If you have this talent, why not continue?

If you can’t negotiate well with Manager Zhang, you can talk to me! I won’t let you lose money, as long as you’re willing, even if it costs one hundred taels, two hundred taels a piece, it’s fine!"

Zheng Zhi offered a high price because he wanted to take the designs to the Capital.

He wanted the noblewomen and young ladies in the Capital to rush to buy.

By then, she would earn large profits.

"I don’t want such a high price! Since Manager Zhang is unwilling to add a penny, I will take sixty taels, one penny, per design. This time, I will draw ten designs for you. If it turns out as you think, and earns a lot of money, we can renegotiate our cooperation!" Mu Shuangshuang said.

Sixty taels, one penny, she indeed came up with it.

However, hearing it like this does feel quite satisfying!

No grievance at all!

"Alright, since you’re giving me this price, I’ll certainly tell all those peers!" Zheng Zhi said.

By peers, he actually meant letting Manager Zhang know how bad his reputation was!

"Then I’ll trouble Mr. Zheng!" Mu Shuangshuang nodded.

"Trouble is not a trouble, the important thing is to make money! Actually, Manager Zhang wasn’t the county’s bully originally!

It’s because the Jiang Family suddenly left, many businesses weren’t sold but directly transferred to Manager Zhang!

Suddenly having things fall into his lap, Manager Zhang was thrilled to take over the mess, inadvertently becoming the county’s top fabric supplier!

With one family dominating, there’s no competition, Manager Zhang got even more arrogant, causing all these problems!"

"That’s why, whether it’s being a person or doing business, one needs to be humble, otherwise who knows what might happen next!" Mu Shuangshuang said.
