Chapter 1008 - The Eight Vajras (1/2)
When Ma Youjin saw that Ren Xiaosu was deep in thought, he was sure he had convinced him. He chuckled and said, ”So if you have any business ventures in the future, you're welcome to partner with us. As long as it's not illegal, we are down to do anything here in Stronghold 144.”
Ren Xiaosu asked, ”You don't do illegal stuff?”
”But of course.” Ma Youjin turned serious. ”Our company's margins can be lowered, but we definitely mustn't do anything to tarnish our reputation. Whoever tries anything funny will be asked to leave.”
”Why?” Ren Xiaosu asked curiously.
”I guess you're not aware of it. Previously, my superior got his hands on a batch of lipstick from somewhere and claimed we could make a very high profit margin on it. But when Uncle Fugui found out, he directly fired him.” Ma Youjin said, ”Uncle Fugui said we're not only representing ourselves through our actions, but we also represent the reputation of the boss above.”
Ren Xiaosu was stunned for a moment. ”The boss above? Which boss?”
”It seems like you're really unaware.” Ma Youjin lowered his voice and said, ”Do you see the word 'su' in our company's name?”
”Yes, I see it.” Ren Xiaosu suddenly understood.
”And isn't the future commander of the Northwest called Ren Xiaosu?” Ma Youjin said mysteriously, ”Actually, before our future commander became the future commander, Uncle Fugui had already started working for him. So they're tight, and this business is actually also the future commander's private business arm.”
Ren Xiaosu had a strange expression. ”Is this known throughout the Northwest?”
”Of course it is.” Ma Youjin said, ”That's why Uncle Fugui said that even if we have to sacrifice our profits, we can't embarrass our future commander and affect his future in the Northwest. If anyone dares to tarnish our future commander's reputation, we'll tell them to beat it. Yunsu does not want to keep such employees around!”
Wang Fugui's business had become very big now. On one hand, it was because he was really good at running a business. On the other hand, it was because the entire Northwest knew about the relationship between Wang Fugui and Ren Xiaosu. Therefore, no matter what he did, there would always be people giving him a pass on the things he wanted to do.
Meanwhile, Wang Fugui also played his part and never did anything that would make them worry. Outsiders would not be able to nitpick on his dealings at all.
Ma Youjin said in a low voice, ”I heard that our future commander will be returning to the Northwest soon. At that time, our Yunsu will only get bigger and achieve eternal glory!”
Ren Xiaosu did not know whether to laugh or cry. Although he liked hearing others speak well of him, he still felt a little awkward when Ma Youjin praised him so seriously in his presence.
Ma Youjin said, ”By the way, I haven't asked for your name yet.”
”Oh,” Ren Xiaosu answered, ”my name is Lü Xiaomi.”
”It sounds like you and our future commander are destined for each other based on your names.” Ma Youjin chuckled and said, ”So what business are you doing? Do you want me to introduce you to Uncle Fugui?”
”There's no need for that.” Ren Xiaosu waved it off with a smile. He was just enjoying some peace and quiet with Yang Xiaojin. As there was nothing urgent on Wang Fugui's end, he was not in a hurry to see him.
Moreover, even if he really wanted to meet Wang Fugui, he would not need anyone to link them up. He could just go and meet him himself.
”Why?” Ma Youjin wondered, ”Could it be that you're not here to do business?”
”Your Yunsu can't do the business that I'm doing.” Ren Xiaosu winked and said, ”Mine's shady.”
