Even though Zhu Zhijie didn't give you a married life, and he wasn't a good person, he protected you anyway, so that you had four high walls around you, so that you couldn't see how dangerous this world was.

When I came to do business, I just wanted to swallow up such a big business. I also wanted to "suck money from the bottom of the cauldron" and directly find me, a "powerful person", to run it for you.

As great as the sky is, so is the ambition.

"What can I get after everything is done?" Zhang Zhou did not refuse directly, but seemed to be seriously discussing the issue of "sharing the spoils" with Ning Tong.

Ning Tong said: "50% of the profit."

Zhang Zhou nodded and said: "It's very reasonable. If things don't work out, don't I have no responsibility?"

"With your help, can things be done?" Ning Tong felt that Zhang Zhou was just an excuse for not wanting to help.

"It makes sense. If I take action, it will succeed nine times out of ten. Then Miss Ning, what percentage of the profit will you get afterwards?"

"Thirty percent."

"Wow, that daughter of the Chen family is quite generous. She only got 20% of the profit after doing such a big round? Just giving you the 30% will give you at least several thousand taels or even tens of thousands of taels of silver. No wonder you said you wanted me to

I just need to help you once."

Zhang Zhou is laughing.

Ning Tong may have been PUA, thinking that if she does one thing, she can reach the top of her life, and she will have no worries in life and no longer need a man.

"Can you help?"

"I can help, but I agreed to do it once. How can I help?" Zhang Zhou did not refuse.

He even took the initiative to agree to it.

Ning Tong said: "You only need to tell us what the Jiang family's bidding price is, and... we can't let them know our bidding price. Except for the Jiang family, no one else seems to be able to accept this job. If so,

Please help to control it."

"Yes." Zhang Zhou nodded, "It sounds reasonable. In fact, as long as I go to the Governor's Mansion, the matter will be basically done. No one will give me this face."

"If the help is successful...I will thank you."

Ning Tong didn't expect that things would be settled so easily.

Zhang Zhou smiled and said: "Don't thank me, just don't bother me in the future."

What else did Ning Tong want to say, especially when it came to her future marriage. After all, the Zhu family had warned that unless she went to Zhang Zhou, she wouldn't even have the right to marry and would have to elope.

But she didn't say anything in the end.

"Do I need to sign any agreement? If I refuse to pay or something..."

Ning Tong said: "As long as you help us with things, are you afraid that we will default on our debt? With the power in your hands, I'm afraid we two little girls can't fight against you, right?"

Zhang Zhouyi got angry when he heard it.

Do you still know that you are two little women? Do you still know that you cannot stand up to the powerful?

So he was dragged into a trap set by the Chen family's daughter?

Let me tell you now, the Chen family daughter is using you, or even trying to trick you. You will definitely think that I am trying to sow discord between your sisters, right?

"It makes sense, then this matter is settled. I will go to the Governor's Mansion to help you inquire about it in the next two days. I will also help you with the Ministry of Works. But I am a doctor in the Ministry of War, not a doctor in the Ministry of Works.

I don’t know if they will give me face there.”

"Um."

Ning Tong nodded but remained silent.

…

…

Ning Tong and Zhang Zhou parted ways at the door of the tea house.

After Ning Tong left in the sedan, Zhu Fengcai, who had been waiting in the rice shop opposite, ran over.

"Brother Zhang." Zhu Fengdui looked at Zhang Zhou with a smile.

Zhang Zhoudao: "Those who don't know think that your relationship is not over yet. Just come out and meet if you want. What does it look like to hide?"

"No... I just want to know what kind of business she wants to do?" Zhu Feng was very honest.

Ning Tong also took advantage of his reality.

Zhu Feng had always thought that when Ning Tong talked about doing business, he wanted to open a small shop or something. Because he didn't have enough money on hand, he wanted to ask Zhang Zhou to borrow it, and Zhu Feng wanted to help Ning Tong secretly.

Zhu Feng is quite generous personally. Even if his family can't give Ning Tong anything, he is willing to give Ning Tong part of his second family property.

Zhang Zhou also feels that there are too few "men" in the world who are as "emotional and righteous" as Zhu Feng.

Eh?

Why is this strange?

Zhang Zhou collected his thoughts and said: "She is just doing a small business. I am going to attend the court tomorrow morning. I have to go back to make some preparations. If you don't go, then we say goodbye?"

Zhu Feng said: "If Tong'er needs money, Brother Zhang, just tell me. She is married to me, and we have made a lot of money together... Of course, this is all your credit, Brother Zhang. I want to give her more."

, so that she can gain a foothold in the capital. I even want to help her buy a house."

"Why didn't you tell her yourself?" Zhang Zhou asked.

Zhu Feng looked ashamed and said: "She doesn't want to accept my kindness, so I can only help her through you. As a husband and wife... I am ashamed of her!"

…

…

After Ning Tong returned, he met the Chen family daughter.

The daughter of the Chen family lived in a business building in the capital. After learning from Ning Tong that Zhang Zhou would help, she couldn't hide the joy on her face.

"Can we really do it?" Ning Tong was a little unsure.

Zhang Zhou said that he would help, but Zhang Zhou also said that the business stall was too big and the two women might not be able to handle it.

The daughter of the Chen family said: "Sister, don't worry, my little sister will definitely be able to get things done. We can't let those black-hearted nobles take over the wood and stone materials we have, right? And the Jiang family! I thought they were all in Nanjing.

When they came, they would support each other, but now they are more like eating people without spitting out the bones!"

Ning Tong said: "Is Zhang Zhou's father-in-law really that excessive? Then his daughter..."

The daughter of the Chen family shook her head and said, "I have never met Mrs. Zhang, so I don't know what her character is like. Why would my sister care about this?"

"Um."

Ning Tong did not mention to the Chen family daughter why she wanted to think about Jiang Pingyu's character.

Ning Tong changed the subject and said, "Can I bid now?"

"No." Chen's daughter said, "We don't have much materials on hand. If we want to bid, we need at least 30 to 40% of the materials before we can negotiate with others, and we need to sign all the contracts in advance.

, after the money comes from the court, we can purchase all the materials as soon as possible."

Ning Tong said: "There won't be anyone who deliberately refuses to provide materials, right?"

Chen's daughter saw that Ning Tong still had a talent for business and probably knew the problems that might be encountered in business.

"Normally not, because the people we do business with are Huizhou merchants who often travel to Jianghuai, and they pay most attention to credibility. Even so, we still have to spend two to thirty thousand taels of silver to purchase..."

"Is there not enough money?"

"Try your best!"

It seems that the Chen family daughter is also trying to sell iron.

The mother-in-law who followed next to her said: "Miss, we don't have much money in our account. Previously, the Jiang family owed us five or six thousand guan, but we haven't paid it yet. If we use it again, I'm afraid the ancestral home will be lost."

All have to..."

He didn't finish the sentence, but Ning Tong also knew that for the little sister of the Chen family, this was a desperate move.

"It's okay. With the help of Zhang Zhuangyuan, there is nothing to worry about! All the contracts signed earlier have been honored. I will go back to the Jiang family to demand payment," said the Chen family girl.

Ning Tong said: "I still have some dowry items that I brought from my parents' home. Why don't I give them to you as well?"

"Sister, that is your personal dowry, how can you..."

"It's okay. It's good to be able to bring him out. I thought I had to come out alone. Even if it doesn't work out, I won't starve to death."

Ning Tong is also reasonable.

Since it was a desperate matter, why did everyone have to mortgage or sell their ancestral home, but she had to hold on to the dowry?

This is called sharing joys and sorrows.

The daughter of the Chen family said: "Thank you very much, sister. If we don't succeed this time, we will be successful."

"Um."

The two sisters clasped their hands together, as if they wanted to ride the wind and waves together without leaving a trace...
