Chapter 469 - 217: High-Quality Fabric! Friendly Bargaining! (Thanks for the support from the readers)_3
"I understand your meaning, but I have no choice..."
The woman replied. She wasn’t the Patriarch, she was just sent by the Patriarch, and did she have any right to refuse? Certainly not.
And could she really not know the Patriarch’s intentions? Surely, she knew it well; it was entirely to let her come and see the situation and she was already prepared to sacrifice directly.
Once, she had no choice, now she only wanted to peacefully cultivate silk. But in the end, Heavenly Dao has cycles, who could escape destiny? She had been directly dispatched to Xufu Town.
"Hopefully, I will be safe," the woman prayed for herself.
...
In the blink of an eye, she arrived at Xufu Town. Upon seeing the drastic changes outside Xufu Town, they were quite amazed. They hadn’t heard much about Xufu Town before, but upon actually seeing it, the town had truly developed well, almost resembling a small city.
And the Wei Family people were already outside Xufu Town to welcome them, among the welcomers was Xun Xian.
"They seem very worried about their safety?" Xun Xian could see it.
Normally at the Wei Mansion, she could joke freely with Yuchi; no one cared about it, knowing there was no malice. But outside, she definitely stood on the side of the United Commerce Association, alongside Yuchi, and proactively said:
"You two need not worry, the Wei Family is very safe. Once you arrive at the Wei Family, we will arrange accommodations for you. Then, you may rest for a day, and discuss matters the following day."
The woman and the maid exchanged glances and nodded.
The woman really wanted to ask one question now, which was about the age of the Commerce Association president — hopefully not over a hundred years old; otherwise, she indeed bore undue burdens at a young age.
But thinking alone, she dared not directly ask, not knowing if the other might take it as an insult to the Commerce Association.
Never mind.
Take it one step at a time!
...
Arriving at the Wei Family, she finally saw Yuchi, who was already waiting.
He greeted them with a smile for a brief moment, and today he didn’t plan to speak much about business; since they were visiting, he needed to host them properly.
"I am Yuchi, president of the Xufu Town United Commerce Association, may I inquire?" Yuchi looked at the woman.
The woman was quite graceful; he, already accustomed to beauties, was completely immune.
Is he this young! And a bit handsome! With sword-shaped eyebrows and gentle eyes, looking like a good person! The woman and her maid exchanged glances and immediately said, "I am Su Qifang from Zhoulan Town, to meet the president!"
After speaking, she respectfully saluted.
"No need, you have traveled far and are guests, so please, both of you, rest first. Should anything arise, communicate directly with the mansion staff. Consider this your home, for the journey was exhausting, let’s leave discussions for tomorrow."
"Yes, president."
The two women departed, glancing at Yuchi as they left, while Yuchi was speaking with a youth beside him.
Along the corridor outside the courtyard, the Wei Mansion attendants were bustling about, making the mansion lively indeed.
"Much livelier than our mansion."
"Yes, indeed."
"And the president seems so young, quite handsome for a young man. Is he really the president of the Commerce Association? I thought I couldn’t bear such weight, but now looking... it actually seems alright." Su Qifang was anxious, yet felt somewhat relieved.
The maid, understandingly, said, "I think he really doesn’t have any ulterior motive. From our brief conversation, he seemed very calm, expressed everything naturally, as if without that kind of intent to possess you..."
"Are you saying I am not worthy then?" Su Qifang immediately expressed displeasure.
Oh mistress, you used to despise all sorts, lamenting all along the way, but upon seeing him, there’s not the slightest of disdain left? Aren’t you changing a bit too quickly? The maid said with a bitter smile, "My lady certainly has no such thoughts; it just feels like he indeed has no such intentions, merely in matters of commerce. So let’s rest well today; tomorrow we should speak properly with others when ready."
Su Qifang’s expression eased slightly, "Don’t worry, if I truly wish to pursue this president, it’s impossible not to succeed. Even if he currently lacks any such thoughts, can he resist my charm?"
Going all out?!?! The maid was stunned, inwardly amazed:
I finally understand why the Patriarch sent you here; your intentions are concealed, yet you really wish to use your advantages to advance relations, merely hesitated due to fearing the other’s heaviness, worried about bearing it, but upon seeing him, you instinctively wish to approach?
So, that’s it... So there was this layer of meaning? The Patriarch is truly amazing!
Meanwhile, a plump woman led other maids inside, carrying some warm papaya milk, which tasted quite good.
