TFDC Chapter 114.1




Chapter 114.1 - Business is business




Ruan Xiuren heard this and his eyes lit up, “Boss Mu really is a great person! If Boss Mu doesn’t tell anyone about how there were fake devices mixed in, then this Ruan person will forever be grateful.”


“Of course, I heard about Ruan family’s matter. It was all Ruan family head’s nephew’s trouble, so of course, I understand.”
Ruan Xiuren was overjoyed.

He didn’t think this Boss Mu would be so easy to talk to and let out a relieved breath.


The housekeeper behind him who had a tightened expression on, also loosened up.


Lou Qingwu curved a finger as she knocked at the table in front of her.


Her voice was lazy and harmless, “Ruan family head only needed to talk to Ah Jin about it, there was no need to talk to me about it. But, as we’ve met, this Mu person would like to say something.”


Ruan Xiuren’s expression became concentrated, “Boss Mu, please speak.”


“Even though I won’t say anything about this affair, I am a business person after all. So I hope this won't’ happen a second time. Ruan family head should also know that my number one Jinsi building does most of my business with the officials and their families. But of that portion, some of that is with the royal family. If this batch of devices wasn’t inspected and was sent to the palace, then it wouldn’t just be my head on the ground, I’m afraid even the Ruan family ….”


“I know how important and severe this is, there definitely won’t be a second time.”

“Then, I can rest assured. This matter will end like this and if you don’t have anything else, I’ll first leave.”


After finishing speaking, Lou Qingwu stood up to leave.


Ruan Xiuren quickly tried to stop her, “I, also have one more thing to talk to Boss Mu about.”


“Oh?”


Lou Qingwu raised a brow, turning to look at shopkeeper JIn.


They smiled meaningfully at each other before sitting down again.


They turned to look at Ruan Xiuren, “I don’t know what else you’d like to talk about?”


“It’s about the date that we agreed on, when we exchange the devices.”

“Yes? Is there a problem?”


This was the first time that Ruan Xiuren had been forced so pitifully.


His coldly handsome face leaked out a bit of embarrassment as he coughed.


He hardened his skin and spoke, “It’s like this, the original date we agreed on is the day after tomorrow but with the fake devices mixed in, as well as the manager of the golden store running away, we don’t know where the real devices are. Jinsi building also booked for a lot of devices, worth about 50,000 gold so …”

Lou Qingwu laughed deeply, “So what does the Ruan family head want to say? I remember that we exchanged a deposit of 5000 gold, this is a sum that no one else in Dongyu country can match.”

“Yes, it is like that.”

Ruan Xiuren felt like his face was about to be blown off by the young girl sitting across from him.


He became solemn again, “Ruan family’s stores have suffered a loss with this so it’ll be hard for us to get together so much gold in two days.”

Furthermore, even if they could immediately get all that gold to fix the missing ones, they wouldn’t be able to develop all of those devices in two days.


Lou Qingwu heard this and lightly laughed, “Ruan family head, are you joking? If I remember correctly, the Ruan family is the number one family of the capital.”


Ruan Xiuren knew that he’d have to lose face today but there was no other option.


His Ruan family was the number one family and normally, they’d be able to take 50,000 gold out but a month ago, during the emperor’s banquet, he had to randomly lose out 100,000 gold.


That already damaged the Ruan family enough.


In this month, their stores had suffered losses too, their income wasn’t as great as it was in previous months.


So all of this, added with the tens of thousands gold stolen by Ruan Xiang, their funds were stuck at a bottleneck.


“I’d like to hope that Boss Mu could let us have a few more days, even when we receive all of the gold, we still need a few more days to make the devices.”


Lou Qingwu calmly looked at this once incredibly arrogant man, her index finger pointed at the table moved slowly and lazily.


After half a moment, she raised a brow and spoke calmly, “So, what does that have to do with my Jinsi building?”

  1. Logical so far, surprised she wasn't pushing for anything regarding his personal secrets, but given her current identity, this works out anyway. Afterall, can't forget that Ruan Xiuran requires something from her rather than vice versa.

    Still plenty of time to "chat".

    1. She's only Jinsi building's boss right now, so prying into his secrets would be a bad idea, especially with how ferociously he guards his ninth madam 😢😢

      LQW's a total bully πŸ’–πŸ’–
