Inheriting A Divine Cultivation Clan At The Start, All My Juniors Are Empresses

Some dishes were placed on the table, and Yuchi was already seated on the chair, with Changsun Mei right across from him.

After Changsun Mei changed into this woman’s attire, she was still a very beautiful young girl. However, because of the recent numerous issues with the Zhangsun Family, she was no longer as composed as before, and her demeanor... truly hid a lot of timidity.

Holding the wine cup in front of her with both hands, she first stood up and deeply bowed her head, saying to Yuchi in front of her, ”Thank you, Young Master Yuchi, for the help you provided this time. Regardless of what the outcome is, I have felt your goodwill.”

”Alright.”

Yuchi motioned for Changsun Mei not to be so formal, but such things are unavoidable. Although he himself harbored no ill will towards Changsun Mei and didn’t plan to use anything to oppress her, the other party naturally had such thoughts because her family situation was problematic, inherently making her feel at a disadvantage.

The ensuing conversation lasted a long time, and Changsun Mei directly told Yuchi about many issues facing them currently, including enemies in the Zhangsun Family’s business. She disclosed everything clearly.

In Yuchi’s ears, the main point was simple.

Due to the Zhangsun Family’s division, their original business was in chaos, and many original partners went to collaborate with Changsun Cheng. Those families that didn’t choose to work with him were now filled with intense distrust toward the Zhangsun Family. The ones left to cooperate with Changsun Mei were small families, who clearly wanted to seize greater benefits at this time.

From the perspective of small families, working with the Zhangsun Family now is a favor to Changsun Mei, so shouldn’t their prices be lowered a bit?

Anyway, the small families continually pressed down on prices, and the large families split into two factions: one followed Changsun Cheng and others, and the other disintegrated. After all, with the existence of the business association, it didn’t matter if they couldn’t work with the Zhangsun Family. All they needed was to find partners within the association.

This was naturally not the business association’s fault. Doing business always places profit as the primary factor; if negotiations fail, you simply switch to another family. This is perfectly normal, and it’s one reason why business associations are favored—they prevent unilateral supply chain oppression.

If you are unreliable, if your family is unreliable, in the past I couldn’t immediately find a new cooperation family, but now with the association, if I find you unreliable, I simply switch to another. Doing business is doing business after all.

So now the Zhangsun Family collaborates with some small families. Although clothing sales don’t seem to be severely affected, the profit margins are very, very low. Sometimes they are even forced to incur losses. If the Zhangsun Family can’t make money, then the seamstresses working with them will feel uneasy and won’t choose to work with them, causing the situation to worsen.

”For the Zhangsun Family to rise up at this time, they must rely on my Wei Family.” Yuchi looked at the girl in front of him, her eyes red for some time unknown to him, and he didn’t speak for a moment. As he sipped his tea, he pondered slowly, ”But if the Wei Family is just an ordinary member of the business association, we could still find a way to help the Zhangsun Family, as it does have some foundation.”

”But the Wei Family is ultimately bound to the association. If the Wei Family takes in the Zhangsun Family at this time, other families will notice, and this will be very troublesome. It will not just be the Wei Family that suffers losses; the entire association could fall into an inexplicable situation.”

”You must know that there is an iron rule in the association that no family can interfere with one another.”

After contemplating for a while.

Yuchi spoke slowly, ”Miss Changsun, have you considered changing your business?”

The clothing business can’t continue. It’s said that even if a shattered mirror is reunited, the cracks will still exist. Even forcibly keeping it alive will eventually lead to a dead end, causing great fatigue with nothing to show for it. So, there’s no need for that.

It is better to change businesses, which is the best approach at this stage.

Restart, open a new game. Persisting to the end might create miracles, but if miracles don’t happen, the outcome will be tragic.

Changsun Mei quietly poured herself a glass of wine. While Yuchi drank tea, she drank wine, nodding silently, downing the wine in her cup in one gulp. Looking at Yuchi in front of her, she wondered when this young man had transformed, with what seemed to be an abyss lurking in his deep eyes.

But restarting herself, how to restart? The Zhangsun Family has been in the clothing business for so many years, if they stop now, everyone in the Zhangsun Family would scatter, and it would genuinely be extraordinarily difficult to rise again. What kind of end would await her?

And why did everything turn out this way? It was one misstep leading to another, watching as she slipped into the abyss, wanting to struggle, but suddenly realizing that the abyss was indeed her final destination?
