Chapter 316: Hu Shangamei! Zhu Yulan's Dowry. _3
Old Qin was of the age that, given his contributions, should have been promoted some time ago, but there were some things... he couldn't agree with, and naturally, he couldn't move up.
He always thought that as long as he was dedicated and guiltless in whatever position he was in, that would be enough.
But as a human being, who doesn't want to progress?
Being in a higher position also makes many things easier to handle.
"It's all for better serving the people."
Old Qin passed the briefcase to him.
Looking at the young man before him, "Then I also wish Boss Xu prosperous business, we have matters to attend to and won't disturb you further."
"Sure, come by when you have time, I'll treat you to some milk tea."
Xu Musen spoke with a hearty laugh, his tone sincere.
Old Qin was stunned for a moment, ever since he had come into power, there are many who offered him drinks or tried to curry favor with him.
But this was the only one who offered to treat him to milk tea.
Looking at the young man before him, his gaze earnest with not a hint of worldly corruption, he found him very much to his taste!
He couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Okay, I'll definitely come when I have time!"
Old Qin left, but the seeds of a good connection had been sown, one that Xu Musen had been slowly cultivating.
The documents were approved.
Making things much easier to deal with.
Before long, Xu Musen received a message.
He glanced at Zhu Yulan, who was busy at work, and quietly left the shop.
At the street corner, Xu Musen got into his Ferrari.
This time Zhu Xianglan didn't perform any antics but directly took out a document from her bag and handed it to him.
"I am here today to apologize. I never expected Huang Tianming to do what he did, and I haven't visited you in the hospital these past few days. I know you don't want to see me."
"I've said it before, it's meaningless to talk about this anymore."
Xu Musen didn't want to dwell on who was at fault, indeed the incident was triggered by Zhu Yulan.
But it wasn't her fault either, nobody expected things to get to this point.
"But still, since I was the cause, I know an apology is something you don't want to hear, and it's also pointless."
Zhu Xianglan handed the document she was holding to him: "I know you're now setting up a franchise, and the contents of this should be able to help you."
Xu Musen just gave her a look.
Zhu Xianglan gave a wry smile.
"Just take a look, consider it compensation from me on behalf of my foolish sister. Otherwise, she will probably never forgive herself in this lifetime."
Since the incident, Zhu Yulan had become withdrawn and silent, focusing solely on her work.
Even staying overnight in the shop, she would still be cleaning late into the night, around eleven or twelve o'clock.
Zhao Lianmai couldn't help but urge her to rest earlier.
Xu Musen saw it all but knew he couldn't persuade her, as any attempt would only make her feel more uncomfortable.
After all, those who can punish themselves are actually kind-hearted people.
Even if it wasn't her fault, she still felt indebted.
Now, Xu Musen believed that even if he were to actually sell her, she would still be thinking about selling herself for a higher price to repay his kindness.
Thinking of this, Xu Musen picked up the document and looked through it, and indeed, the content made his eyes light up.
What a franchise store needs most is channels.
If there were a hundred branches in the city.
The daily consumption of fruits by these hundred stores would be enormous, requiring a mature supply chain.
Not to mention all the other various ingredients.
Up until now, Xu Musen had mainly been collaborating with individual vendors, and that was manageable for a dozen or so stores, but once there were a hundred, two hundred... then finding channels would be a necessity.
And those channels had long been monopolized.
Liu Rushuang's company was already very wealthy, but there were many areas where it was still constrained by others, precisely because many channels in Huhai had already been controlled by these large families early on.
Zhu Xianglan had now introduced him to the Zhu Family's resource channels.
Such things were priceless.
Xu Musen had originally thought about figuring things out on his own, but naturally, if he could have access to these ready-made channels, that would be best.
However, he still closed the file, "An apology is one thing, but this is too valuable, I don't believe the Zhu Family would really just give it to me for nothing."
"The Zhu Family wouldn't, but this is from me, in my capacity as Zhu Yulan's sister."
Zhu Xianglan slowly began to speak, and she smiled again, "Actually, I do have a selfish motive, the companies connected with these channels are what I will leave for her in the future. I have high hopes for you, and if you really make it big using this channel in the future, my sister's companies will also benefit. Leaving her with this wealth, even if she doesn't return to the Zhu Family in the future, she won't suffer hardships. Even if she marries one day, consider it... the dowry I will leave for her in the future."
As Zhu Xianglan spoke, her gaze lingered on Xu Musen.
"You're really generous with this dowry."
Xu Musen sighed; these sisters were indeed interesting.
"She's my only foolish little sister. If some guy is lucky enough to catch her eye in the future, maybe I'll try even harder, and it's possible I could give her the entire Zhu Family as a dowry."
Zhu Xianglan said with a laugh, her gaze still fixed on Xu Musen.
Xu Musen turned his head to meet her gaze and just smiled, "That sounds very tempting."
Zhu Xianglan's mature and beautiful face flushed with color as she smiled and raised her eyebrows, "So... will you consider it?"
"Of course, such a big matter, I would definitely need to discuss it with my wife first."
Xu Musen tidied up the documents.
Zhu Xianglan's expression froze momentarily, that term 'wife' sounded so fitting.
She thought of the little Princess from the An Family. Women have an intuition, and that cute-looking young girl was actually not so simple.
Well, her own foolish little sister probably had a combat strength of 5, but An Nuannuan could be a hidden boss with a combat strength of 10,000.
She sighed, then shook her head and smiled again, "Anyway... I still hope you can take care of her a bit. I promise there won't be any mess like this again in the future."
"You don't need to worry about that, my little employee, no one can bully her except for me."
Xu Musen put away the file and got out of the car.
Zhu Xianglan watched his retreating figure.
His last sentence was unexpectedly cool.
Zhu Xianglan smiled complexly.
Her father still hoped that Yu Lan could get closer to Xu Musen, and even dreamed of snatching this golden son-in-law.
On the other hand, he was always concerned that Xu Musen might covet the Zhu Family's assets.
But it seemed now.
The man had no such intentions at all.
It's just that his own silly little sister was probably going to fall deeper and deeper...
