Doted By The Regent King-Chapter 567

Since Wen Congrui had agreed, he would not go back on his word, ensuring that Wufu could go ahead and buy the shop without worrying about any problems from the Lord Magistrate.

Wufu thanked him and returned home with Liu Jin and Purple Jade.

"Miss, do you really intend to give away a portion of the profits every year?" Liu Jin asked, and Purple Jade also looked at her.

"Has your mistress ever spoken falsely?" Wufu replied. "Moreover, this portion is meant to be given away. Doing charity, compared to giving to an individual, is more meaningful and makes one feel more at ease."

Liu Jin tilted his head and pondered thoughtfully.

Seeing this, Wufu continued, "Actually, it all depends on the counterpart. Not all businesses are suited for this approach. I aimed this at Lord Wen, who has been in office for less than a year, and being from a distinguished family, he is not short of money, or rather, he is more in need of achievements than silver. Hence the decision to use the profits for charity. But with someone else, the response might not be the same, especially with big businesses where a portion of the profits is quite substantial."

"Miss means to draw the other party into our camp. Firstly, we need to understand their character, what they need more, and what they value more?" Purple Jade said.

Wufu nodded in approval, "Only by standing in the other party’s shoes can we deduce their intentions and prescribe the right remedy."

Liu Jin sincerely remarked, "Today, I’ve learned more with you, Miss, than I could have from ten years of reading."

With a proud smile, Wufu quipped, "Then have you paid the tuition fee yet?"

Liu Jin, caught off guard, scratched his head, "Well, this servant doesn’t have any silver. How about Miss deducts it from my monthly money? After all, with lodging and food provided at the residence, there’s nowhere I really need to spend silver."

Wufu burst into laughter, and Purple Jade joined in, saying, "If you’re going to be out and about, how could there not be occasions to spend silver? There are plenty of instances while traveling that require tipping, gathering information, and all need a readiness to spend silver to succeed."

"Sister Zi Yu is absolutely right," Wufu agreed. "Don’t hesitate to spend silver when necessary. Used wisely, it can yield unexpected results."

"Yes," Liu Jin humbly acknowledged the lesson.

Wufu, looking at his youthful age, said, "Liu Jin, you are still young and have a long road ahead. Be bold in your endeavors and don’t fear failure. Experience is gained by taking action, and I have high hopes for you."

A feeling of warmth overtook Liu Jin, who nodded vigorously.

Only then did Wufu command, "In that case, go purchase those two shops. For Suixin Restaurant, I still intend to run it as a tavern. Ask Liu Ming about his former staff and whether they will stay. Discuss it with him."

"Yes, Miss."

Knowing the County Magistrate had his back, Liu Jin felt more confident and immediately sought out Ma Tiankuai to go and finalize the contract with Liu Ming.

At the County Government Office, Wen Congrui was in high spirits. Nan Shan presented him with tea, "Young Master seems very happy today. Is it because Miss Wufu visited?"

Wen Congrui took a sip of tea and smiled faintly, "Only today have I realized that not only are women not inferior to men, some have a breadth of spirit and magnanimity that can match any man."

"Such feelings, Young Master—has Miss Wufu done something remarkable again?" Nan Shan asked with a smile.

"Nothing of the sort. She simply wanted the magistrate to wield his authority," Wen Congrui said with a smile, conveying Wufu’s purpose of the visit, and concluded, "Nan Shan, tell me, what kind of mother could raise such a daughter?"

"This servant has heard that Mrs. Zhou is rather tender-hearted, and in the current Wu Residence, the real head of the family is actually Miss Wufu. If it comes to her mother’s teaching, this servant is more inclined to believe it’s the doing of her unknown mentor." Nan Shan replied.

Wufu’s abilities certainly didn’t come out of nowhere; everyone simply assumed she had been taught by an unknown mentor for years.
