Chapter 71 Keeping the Promise
Shen Qingdie couldn't continue, so she turned and ran out. Crystal clear tears slid down her cheeks, one by one, two by one, and thousands of them. The persistence hidden deep in her heart was like a broken cup, turning into stars.
Even after Shen Qingdie ran away, Madam Shen and Shen Ruoyan were still in shock. After a long while, the two looked at each other, and saw the incredible in each other's eyes.
They finally understood that their daughter (sister) really liked this servant!
Jiang Chengfeng couldn't help but sigh. He naturally understood what the little girl was thinking, but he couldn't make any promises to her. Perhaps this was a good thing for her.
She turned around and found Shen Ruoyan glaring at her. She coughed twice and deliberately avoided Shen Ruoyan's gaze.
"Miss, I heard from Miss Two that the Fang family is going to join forces with the Shen family. Is this true?"
Jiang Chengfeng said it as a matter of course, and completely regarded himself as a member of the Shen family, but he forgot that in Shen Ruoyan's eyes, he, a servant, was completely insignificant.
Sure enough, Shen Ruoyan stared at Jiang Chengfeng coldly and said indifferently: "Jiang Dazhu, this is the Shen family's business, it is not something that a small servant like you can decide!"
Jiang Chengfeng had long been accustomed to Shen Ruoyan's cold attitude, and did not argue with her. He just sneered and said, "If I hadn't promised the Second Miss, do you think I would be willing to care about your family's affairs? To put it bluntly, even if your Shen family goes bankrupt, it has nothing to do with me!"
"You..." Shen Ruoyan was furious and pointed at Jiang Chengfeng, but her face turned purple and she was unable to refute.
"In my opinion, the alliance between the Shen family, the Fang family, and the Wei family does have benefits! But you only see the benefits, but not the huge risks hidden in it!"
Jiang Chengfeng acted as if he didn't see it and continued talking to himself.
Shen Ruoyan withdrew her contempt, stared at Jiang Chengfeng for a few seconds, and said lightly: "You are a smart man!"
"Miss, the Fang family wants to form a joint venture with the Shen family. They must have promised very favorable conditions, right? Well... I guess it must be dry shares, and it won't be small!"
"Who told you that?" Shen Ruoyan's beautiful eyes widened. Only she and her mother knew about this matter, and they had never told anyone else. How did Jiang Dazhu know about it?
"Don't get excited, I'm just speculating!" Jiang Chengfeng shrugged. In fact, this is not difficult to understand. Since the Fang family wants to make this happen, they must give the Shen family some benefits. And the thing that can most impress a business woman like Shen Ruoyan is naturally the shares.
"What I want to ask is, how many shares did the Fang family give to the Shen family?" Jiang Chengfeng asked.
Listening to what Jiang Dazhu said just now, it seems that this guy does have some foresight, and this matter concerns the future . Shen Ruoyan dare not be careless at all. After hearing Jiang Chengfeng's question, she hesitated for a moment and replied: "Forty-and-a-half percent!"
"It's really generous!" Jiang Chengfeng exclaimed in amazement, "If it were me, I would also seriously consider it!"
After a pause, he added, "It's just that Miss Shen has never thought about why the Fang family would give up such a big piece of fat meat to the Shen family? Don't forget that when the three of you cooperate, the Shen family accounts for 45%, while the other two only have 55%. They are at a great loss!"
Shen Ruoyan's pretty face turned slightly red, and she remained silent. In fact, she had this doubt before, but she couldn't figure it out. In the end, she concluded that Fang Zhi coveted her beauty, so he made such a big sacrifice!
Mrs. Shen, who had been silent all this time, spoke up, "I have discussed this with Ruoyan before. Perhaps Mr. Fang wanted to marry Ruoyan, so he gave up some of his shares!"
After saying that, Madam Shen looked at Jiang Chengfeng expectantly. In fact, she had the same thoughts as her eldest daughter. Facing such an important decision, she also wanted to gather everyone's wisdom and listen to everyone's opinions. Otherwise, she would not have called the stewards to a meeting.
I heard from the maids that Jiang Dazhu is smart and eloquent. Perhaps he has some different opinions!
"Marry a wife?" Jiang Chengfeng chuckled, "The Fang family has a good idea. As the saying goes, a woman follows her husband. If the eldest daughter marries Mr. Fang, then won't the 45% of the shares be added to the Fang family's dowry? The Fang family will gain both wealth and beauty!"
Shen Ruoyan's heart tensed up and she glared at Jiang Chengfeng, her pretty face getting even hotter. Is it necessary for you, a slave, to gossip about my affairs?
"Miss, what I want to ask is, do you like Mr. Fang? Miss, you must answer seriously, this matter concerns the life and death of the Shen family!" Jiang Chengfeng looked at Shen Ruoyan with a smile, as if he was not aware of Shen Ruoyan's anger.
Shen Ruoyan's eyes were firm, and she said calmly: "What does it matter whether I like him or not? I don't care who he is. As long as doing this is beneficial to the development of the Shen family, I can sacrifice myself! Besides, Mr. Fang is gentle and elegant, compared to you-"
Jiang Chengfeng coughed twice, interrupting Shen Ruoyan's words. Shen Ruoyan also reacted, blushing, secretly glanced at her mother, and found that there was nothing wrong with the latter, so she felt relieved.
I was speaking too fast just now and almost told my mother that Jiang Chengfeng spanked me. If my mother knew about this, I would be too embarrassed to face anyone!
"It's not that I don't have doubts. I know Fang Zhi has feelings for me! But the Fang family can't make such a big sacrifice just to let Fang Zhi marry me. It doesn't make sense!"
Jiang Chengfeng nodded secretly. This is what a strong woman who is good at business should be like. She always needs to use her brain when doing things.
However, from these two sentences, Jiang Chengfeng could also determine that from a personal emotional perspective, this Miss Shen did not like Mr. Fang. But for the Shen family, she could sacrifice herself, even if she had to marry someone she didn't like.
Jiang Chengfeng sighed secretly. This girl is indeed selfless, but her character is flawed. If not for this, they could be friends.
In fact, this cannot be blamed on Miss Shen, it’s just that Jiang Chengfeng gave Miss Shen a very bad first impression.
"To be honest, there are only two situations in a joint venture. The first is to share the benefits equally. But the Fang family gave 45% of the dry shares to the Shen family. Isn't the Fang family afraid that the Wei family will be dissatisfied? Also, isn't the Fang family worried that the Shen family will suddenly back out after taking these dry shares?"
"Stand up? What does that mean?" Mrs. Shen and Miss Shen, who were listening attentively, looked at Jiang Chengfeng, their eyes full of confusion.
"Ahem, that is to say..."
Helplessly, Jiang Chengfeng had to explain the name of "standing up" again.
After listening to Jiang Chengfeng's explanation, Shen Ruoyan spat and said in a scolding tone: "Breaking a contract is breaking a contract. What's the meaning of standing someone up? How vulgar!"
Thinking about what the Fang family did, Shen Ruoyan felt that the Fang family could not be so stupid, so she looked at Jiang Chengfeng again and said, "What about another situation?"
