From Folly to Fortune：I Rewrite My Life After Rebirth!

”Manager Zhang, are you sure you want me to find Miss Chen Ru from Qingshan Town and have her get the design drawings from her clothing shop?”

Mu Shuangshuang spoke with an imperceptible hint of cunning in her eyes!

”Nonsense! Could I speak falsely? That Miss Chen’s clothing designs are better than the styles I’ve seen in the Capital.

It’s a pity, without good fabric, the clothes made are just so-so! If I were to get the drawings, or if Zheng Zhi were to get them, the result would certainly be different!”

People are divided into good and bad; fabrics are divided into good and bad!

Good people are more easily respected than bad people.

Clothing made with good fabric will be more expensive than clothing made with ordinary fabric.

Manager Zhang believes that the reason clothes from Ah Ru can’t fetch a good price is due to the poor quality of fabric.

”I don’t understand what Manager Zhang means about getting the design drawings.

Is it to negotiate a business deal with Chen Ru, for both parties to share the design? Or to buy out the design drawings from her? Or to have her person behind the scenes draw some more styles for you?” Mu Shuangshuang asked.

These three situations imply different levels of difficulty.

And each one is more challenging than the last!

However, for Mu Shuangshuang, none of the three is particularly difficult, since she is the person who draws the designs.

No matter which way, none of them can stump her!

”What if I want the third option?” Manager Zhang asked.

The third option is the most difficult; Manager Zhang initially wanted to directly buy out Chen Ru’s design drawings.

He even offered a high price, willing to trade a cloth shop in the county for it.

In the end, he was completely rejected.

Because of this, Manager Zhang genuinely believes getting the drawings from Chen Ru is definitely a challenging task.

Among hard tasks, he chose the hardest.

Ultimately, he wanted Mu Shuangshuang to give up in the face of difficulty.

Thus preserving his cloth shop in the county.

Of course, if Mu Shuangshuang can solve this challenge, then he hasn’t lost a thing and instead gains a great profit.

If the drawings end up with him, they could earn him more money; in that case, he wouldn’t care about the shop front.

”The third option is the hardest among them. May I ask, Manager Zhang, what kind of offer can you make to the person drawing the designs?” Mu Shuangshuang asked.

”What does that have to do with you? If you can do it, then go ahead! If not, then the shop remains the property of the Zhang Family!” Manager Zhang replied.

”It certainly has something to do with what I intend to do. I need to negotiate a business deal with them; if I don’t know the bottom line, how can I negotiate successfully?

Or are you saying, Manager Zhang, deep down, you really don’t want to give me that shop front?” Mu Shuangshuang asked.

”You...” Manager Zhang was greatly annoyed by Mu Shuangshuang.

He glared at Mu Shuangshuang and turned to complain to Zheng Zhi, ”Zheng Zhi, this person is supposed to be someone you introduced saying I should know, yet the more I look, the more I dislike her?”

”Manager Zhang, a gambler must concede! You lost the bet initially, and now Shuangshuang merely asked about the conditions you would offer, and you begin to evade with all sorts of words!

I’m starting to doubt if I’m really seeing the renowned Manager Zhang of the cloth shops from Qianzhou Prefecture!” Zheng Zhi said.

Clearly, he was siding with Mu Shuangshuang.

For Mu Shuangshuang, he didn’t hesitate to confront Manager Zhang.

”Hmph, it’s not because I won’t say, I’m just afraid that if I do, I’ll scare this little girl! After all, any one of those drawings is worth several times the Silver she just offered me!” Manager Zhang said with a proud expression.

”How many times exactly?” Mu Shuangshuang asked.

”I’ve said already, it’s a matter that doesn’t concern you, why do you keep asking?”

Manager Zhang realized he was being pressured by a young girl, so he blurted out his response.

”Manager Zhang, you seem to have forgotten that you just instructed me to go find Chen Ru and get the person who makes the drawings to create new designs for clothes.

Since you’ve asked me to do it, there should be something to show for it! Am I supposed to go to Chen Ru and simply tell her I want the person behind her to draw for me?

If she asks why, should I foolishly say I don’t know?” Mu Shuangshuang’s voice suddenly rose.

Originally, she hadn’t intended to take this shop from Manager Zhang.

But the more he was unwilling, even muddling things up with nonsense, the more she wanted his cloth shop.

A gambler must concede; having lost, one has to own up!

Driven to a corner, Wealth Master Zhang said, ”Tell them it’s twenty taels per drawing, if they’re willing, sell them all to me!”

”Pff~” Mu Shuangshuang covered her mouth and burst out laughing.

She didn’t care whether Manager Zhang was pleased or not, and said directly, ”Manager Zhang, you just said each drawing is several times worth the two hundred and ten taels I just laid out, how come the final outcome is twenty taels?

Is it that I can’t do math, or is Manager Zhang deliberately lowering the price?

Twenty taels per drawing, this Manager Zhang, I don’t know whether he’s treating her like an idiot or himself like one.

It’s quite outrageous that he can even say it.

”Then it’s sixty taels, sixty taels per drawing, sufficient for you to go bragging in the town, right?”

Speaking till the end, Manager Zhang’s tone was almost insulting.

Zheng Zhi, wanting to stand up for Mu Shuangshuang, was stopped by her gaze.

Zheng Zhi hesitated, initially worrying about Mu Shuangshuang, but seeing her all confident, he figured there must be a twist in all this!

Could she perhaps know someone from that cloth shop?

No matter what, Zheng Zhi was prepared to watch the drama unfold.

”Manager Zhang, you’re sure that’s the price, won’t go any higher?” Mu Shuangshuang ignored the disdain in Manager Zhang’s words and continued to ask.

”Hmph, just a few lousy drawings, you really think they can overturn the heavens?

Sixty taels per drawing, that’s the highest I can offer, not a penny more!” Manager Zhang said.

Actually, Manager Zhang’s internal price range was between one hundred taels and two hundred taels per drawing.

Primarily because the dress made in his shop hadn’t sold for less than ten taels of Silver per piece.

Casually selling it to some wealthy family’s young lady, this money could quickly return!

”Alright then, so this is Manager Zhang’s bottom price, not a penny more!” Mu Shuangshuang emphasized this.

Then she continued: ”Manager Zhang, I’m now formally telling you, your offer of sixty taels per drawing has been refused by the person making drawings for Chen Ru.”

”Why should you say no when it’s a refusal?” Manager Zhang objected.

”Because I am that person! The one who draws for Chen Ru is me, so the person you’re trying to find is right in front of you!” Mu Shuangshuang said.

Once she finished her words, Manager Zhang was utterly astonished.

”You... you... you’re lying!”

He didn’t believe; isn’t this girl working at the restaurant?

How could a restaurant worker know how to draw designs?

Also, regarding those styles, he has seen them, and the masters in the Capital couldn’t compare.

How could a rural girl just claim like that?
