Chapter 532: Chapter 519: No One Complains About Having Too Much Money

“About this…”

Chu Jinnian bowed his head in deep thought for a moment before raising his head to reply. “I don’t have any trustworthy businessmen I can introduce to you, Miss Zhuang.”

“No harm done. It’s only a question for you, Master Chu. It would be best if you had any contacts to recommend, if not, it’s still alright.” Zhuang Qingning replied with a smile, there was no change in the brightness of her smile.

As she said, she just wanted to give it a try. It would be best if she got results, but it would be quite normal if there were none.

After all, Chu Jinnian comes from such an elite social circle, and the people he interacts with are likely high-ranking nobles. To them, the status of a businessman is very low, and they do not see them with high regard.

Zhuang Qingning had already prepared herself mentally for this, so she put this idea to rest.

Every beginning is difficult, and doing something relies on fate. Just take it slow, there is no rush at the moment.

Seeing Zhuang Qingning’s smile not fading in the slightest, the smile on Chu Jinnian’s face intensified, “Although I don’t have suitable people to recommend to Miss Zhuang, I’m quite interested in your soap business.”

“Without hiding anything from Miss Zhuang, I too have some properties and shops in Beijing and also possess several capable managers who can run businesses. If Miss Zhuang doesn’t mind, would you like to start this business together with me?”

“Doing business with Master Chu?” Zhuang Qingning’s eyes widened in surprise – she was taken aback, she hadn’t expected Chu Jinnian to propose this.

“What? You mentioned before on Cuiwei Mountain that you wouldn’t mind doing business with me if given the opportunity. Have you forgotten now or have you changed your mind? ” Chu Jinnian joked.

“That’s not the case…”

“I’m just a little surprised. I didn’t expect Master Chu to be interested in business.” Zhuang Qingning said, somewhat embarrassed.

She had always thought that people like Chu Jinnian, born with a silver spoon in their mouths, if not exactly dismissive of business, would definitely not be interested in it. Their previous conversation was just casual talk.

Unexpectedly, Chu Jinnian was indeed interested in it.

“In this world, no one thinks they have too much money,” Chu Jinnian laughed, “and while many people might seem to be living glamorous lives full of wealth and honor, only they themselves know what their lives are truly like.”

“Moreover, relying on the Emperor’s rewards is like waiting for the sky to drop food into your mouth – sometimes there is, sometimes there isn’t. Naturally, what you can hold in your hand is the most practical thing.”

His words rang true. Many members of the royal family and nobility, if they don’t have their private properties, are merely shells. They might appear to be living grand lives, but in reality, they are barely getting by. If their private businesses can thrive, it often provides a safety net.

After all, no one complains about having too much money, especially when it’s earned honestly.

Zhuang Qingning understands this, she nodded immediately, “Master Chu’s words are very true, then since Master Chu is interested in this soap business, it can be discussed.”

“Regarding the soap business, I have two ideas. It depends on which one Master Chu prefers.”
