Chapter 180: Dragon Bed (Request for Monthly Tickets)_5
Then I heard Changsun Mei's voice with a hint of resentment.
"Do you know what my grandfather once said when he taught me about business?" Changsun Mei asked.
How could I know? The handmaid felt both amused and helpless.
I'm just a maid.
"It's okay if you don't know, I'll tell you."
"I can still remember exactly what he said."
"He said business is business, feelings are feelings, never mix emotions with business!"
After saying this, Changsun Mei looked at the handmaid with an expression asking, "Do you understand what this means?"
The handmaid seemed to understand a bit but not entirely.
"It's actually very, very simple."
"It means..."
"Even if Yuchi is indeed a very opportunistic person."
"Even if Yuchi's personal life is chaotic."
"Even if Yuchi really knocks his head with chopsticks, disrespecting his elders."
"Even if my grandfather privately wanted to kill Yuchi out of frustration."
Changsun Mei spoke in a series that felt like parallel structure.
Then she directly concluded with certainty.
"But in business, he must never act this way."
"He needs to weigh the pros and cons; only those who can start and stop are clever businessmen."
"If you're hot-headed and rash, that's not a businessman, that's a brute."
"And except for stories, brutes never have a good ending."
Changsun Mei spoke emphatically, wasn't it funny that Eldest Changsun Hao couldn't see what Yuchi really was?
It's a bit ridiculous, isn't it?
The sweat on the handmaid's forehead increased; her lady seemed to be suffering from unrequited love, a condition that needed urgent intervention like electrotherapy.
But what she said was indeed true, business is business, life is life, these are completely different things.
When you use life as a bias in business, things often become very troublesome; nobody is perfect.
Changsun Mei: "Thank you for at least understanding what I said, I'm a bit touched."
Handmaid: "No need to thank me, it's all because Miss taught well."
Changsun Mei: "..."
Handmaid: "..."
Calm down.
Sigh.
Frustration.
"In the end, my grandfather told me so much, but when it was his own turn, did he forget all this?"
"Didn't he just become unhappy because he didn't have Yuchi's convenience in Xufu Town?"
"And still spoke of Yuchi's lifestyle problems? He didn't even eat our Zhangsun family's rice."
"Why do we care so much?"
Yuchi grew up eating Wei Family rice, and the Zhangsun Family is just outsiders, pointing fingers and gossiping secretly.
Isn't this slanderous talk?
It's really unnecessary.
The handmaid nodded, starting to believe what Changsun Mei said:
"Miss, you have a point."
"Even if Yuchi's personal tastes are strange, he likes all sorts of peculiar things, we shouldn't criticize him."
"Nor is there any need to let such matters affect business decisions."
Changsun Mei was so moved she was about to cry, clutching her handmaid's hand and impatiently saying:
"Right, right? That's what it means, isn't it? I'm not wrong, right?"
"Xufu Town is just a small town, it's just a town, is his vision limited to Xufu Town only?"
Changsun Mei remembered very clearly.
When he first joined the chamber of commerce, Changsun Hao had a full face of insight.
The whole person was motivated, filled with the idea of expanding the town's business to Jiangzhou City, but where did that idea go now?
Was it because of pressure from another town that he suddenly changed sides?
Facing Changsun Mei's eyes seeking approval, the handmaid looked at her lady with a dazed expression.
After a long time, she managed to say: "Miss, you look beautiful when you're angry..."
Changsun Mei paused: "Thank you."
Again.
"..."
"Is that the main point?"
"You need to listen to my words, understand my meaning, and not just focus on my appearance but see my excellent character."
Changsun Mei acted like an angry kitten.
"... Miss, please go on."
With Changsun Mei shaking her shoulders, the handmaid quickly continued to listen.
That's more like it.
I, Changsun Mei, can explain things more clearly!
If Yuchi really left, let's assume now in Xufu Town, my grandfather has already replaced Yuchi.
Then my grandfather could freely enter the government office.
Then my grandfather could call the shots in Xufu Town.
But... and then what?
With a long-term perspective, focus on Jiangzhou City, yes?
Then can my grandfather do as he wishes in Jiangzhou City?
"He's dreaming." Changsun Mei said sharply, with a meaning behind her words.
The handmaid didn't dare listen anymore.
It's certain, this was indeed the granddaughter; otherwise, no ordinary person would dare speak ill of Changsun Hao.
And tell him to dream?
Changsun Mei continued to express her views:
"Do you think as the president of the chamber of commerce, will Jiangzhou City's government care about my grandfather?"
"Will other institutions in Jiangzhou City treat him kindly? Isn't it the same outcome as Xufu Town?"
"Such short-term emotional impulses are simply a terrible consequence!"
As Changsun Mei spoke, she looked deeply anguished.
