This was like treasure falling from the sky! Miss Shui was so surprised that she was left dumbstruck. Her mouth was gaping open, but she didn't close it. She could only think about how her hand was holding a banknote worth a hundred silver taels.

But, she quickly recovered her senses. She furrowed her brow and said, ”Then, aren't I taking advantage of Madam?”

This madam was willing to purchase the store and let her keep 30% of the profit from her item. How could there be such a good thing?”

Ji Man calmly said, ”You also know that it wouldn't be suitable for me to do business with my status. If anyone finds out, there would be no way for me to turn things around. So, it's not a loss to me at all to give you this consideration. In the future, I'll also need your a.s.sistance in acquiring raw materials. Understand?”

Miss Shui was silent. There was hesitation in her eyes.

It was naturally impossible for her to instantly decide on such an important matter. Ji Man didn't try to hurry her either and only said, ”I'll leave the money here. I'll come back to look for you in a few days. If you agree, then rent the store. If you don't agree, then I'll just take back my deposit.”

”Madam, let me think about it.” Miss Shui saluted.

Ji Man nodded. She looked around the shop one more time, then she left the shop with Muxu.

”Master, how could you so easily give all of your money to her?!” Muxu furrowed her brow and asked, ”What if she runs away with the money?”

A hundred silver taels wasn't a small sum. The average person would definitely feel tempted.

”Good faith is the most important when doing business.” Ji Man said in a neutral tone, ”The one hundred silver taels is a test. If she pa.s.ses, then it'll save me future trouble. It's fine if she doesn't pa.s.s. It's still better than being betrayed later on. After all, safety is the most important thing.”

She had to find a trustworthy person. Otherwise, she would be in trouble if people found out that she was the one selling cold cream.

Muxu still felt heartache. One hundred silver taels was almost half of what master had received from selling off her jewelry.

Ji Man hadn't cared much about selling her jewelry. It would have been tiring to wear so much jewelry every day. It would be nice to only have two silver hairpins left.

She had secretly taken out the rest of her jewelry with her this time. If she wanted to buy a store, she would need at least three hundred silver taels. She calculated the items she had brought with her. She probably would have enough money after selling these items.

After successfully achieving her goal by bargaining with the p.a.w.nshop's storekeeper for a long time, Ji Man walked out of the store with two hundred and eighty silver taels. She put the banknote into her clothes and pulled Muxu along with her to go back to the residence.
