Chapter 712 Doing Something Big (5)_1
"Great! I’ll just do the talking, the actual work is left to the people below. I’m hardly tired!" With several pairs of eyes watching, she stays busy as if she were resting.
Fang Li then said, "Mo Heng is an official now, and you are the wife of someone with a Decree. It’s not like you need to come every day to watch the long-term workers. As the business grows bigger, we need our own people to help keep an eye on things..."
Pei Qian interrupted him before he could finish, guessing his intentions, "I manage our family business. We have long-term workers and stewards, there’s no need for others to help manage this little bit!"
Lady Yu glared at Fang Li covertly, signaling for him not to speak anymore. Even the Pickled Bamboo Workshop could become big. He had no skills himself and was always eyeing others’ businesses; he would never succeed in his lifetime!
Old Scholar Fang also blamed him for trying to stir up trouble again, and after speaking well of Pei Qin and Mo Heng, returned home.
Fang Li was not satisfied. Every time there was an opportunity to make big bucks, it only concerned her, never caring about them. When there were issues, they were sought out and it was their family that was relied upon. If their business did well, wouldn’t it still be because Song Ming, as an official in Jingcheng, was giving them face?
"They must think that if our business does well, it’s all thanks to their family having a son who became an official! As if being a small Seventh-rank official in some remote and lawless place makes that much of a difference!" Pei Qian scorned Fang Li.
"’Where the mountains are high and the emperor is far away,’ that’s where even the emperor is powerless!" That’s why Pei Qin prepared quite a few trump cards for Shen Songming, at least if something unexpected happened, he could save his life.
