Chapter 683: How old is 683 exactly?
After he finished speaking, Si Rong realized that he had said too much today, and what’s more, he had somehow strayed from the original direction he intended to discuss.
Moreover, his purpose for coming over today was to talk business, not to chat about gossip.
Thus, Si Rong got back to the point, "Anyways, this is the situation, with the fall of the Liu Family, all their shops are in disarray. Dongyue is now facing a huge gap in the rouge and face powder market, which is an opportunity for us to squeeze in. However, if Miss Ye could provide more products, that would be even better."
Seeing that Ye Jiujiu didn’t say a word for a long time, and it wasn’t quite the response Si Rong had anticipated, "Does Miss Ye have any doubts, or do you not trust me?"
As he spoke, Si Rong added, "Even if Miss Ye doesn’t trust me, you can’t mistrust our Prince. After all, I work for the Prince, and now that Miss Ye is supplying rations for hundreds of thousands of soldiers at the frontier, I, Si Rong, wouldn’t dare to joke with Miss Ye even if I had the audacity."
"Guard Si Rong jokes, I just always thought that Guard Si Rong was someone by War King’s side, I didn’t expect you to be involved in business as well," Ye Jiu hurriedly explained herself.
Si Rong chuckled, "This, Miss Ye probably isn’t aware, although there are many capable people by the Prince’s side, we each have different responsibilities. Like Si Nan and Si Bei, mainly protecting and handling miscellaneous tasks for the Prince, while I am in charge of all the financial matters for the War Prince Residence and managing some of the estate’s businesses. There’s also the leader of the Hidden Guards, Si Ye, who rarely shows himself; I suppose Miss Ye hasn’t met him yet."
Only then did Ye Jiu nod her head, finally understanding.
"So what does Miss Ye think of my proposal?" Si Rong asked again.
Ye Jiu shrugged, "It’s not about what I think, I’m doing quite well as it is now, and I’m not planning to make any changes for the time being."
The situation now was no longer just about making the Liu Family pay.
A slight misstep could lead to many lives lost, and Ye Jiu had to choose cautiously.
