The Eldest Young Master's Gentle Wife (13)

Jiang Zhe found Father Jiang in the dye workshop looking at the newly dyed colours.

Father Jiang nodded slightly: "This colour is uniform and looks natural, not bad."

The shopkeeper was filled with joy, "If the Old Master said its good, then its definitely good."

Father Jiang: "Who dyed this cloth?"

The shopkeeper seemed to be waiting for this moment. He capped his hands, and shouted in one direction: "Li Niang, come out."

A woman dressed in a red cheongsam with a bun in her hair walked over leisurely, her slender high heels regularly tapping the ground, making a pleasant sound.

The woman bowed politely: "Li Niang has seen Old Master."

The shopkeeper introduced enthusiastically: "Old Master, this is Li Niang. Not only is she beautiful, her character is gentle and considerate, and she is ingenious as well. The cloth in your hand is dyed using her idea.

Father Jiang gave her a lookover, and praised: Its really good.

What kind of cloth is it, for Father to praise it as such. A low-pitched male voice suddenly rang out. Everyone looked around for the source, only to see a man wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses walking towards them.

The man was tall and jade-like, with wide eyebrows, sharp and handsome features, and a set of tightly-pressed lips, clearly showing the man wasnt good to provoke.

But Li Niang looked at that untouchable face, and her heart began to beat uncontrollably.

She clenched her hand. The pain from her nails digging into her palm made her recover a little bit of reason.

The shopkeeper laughed fawningly and greeted, "Greetings, Eldest Young Master. May I know if Eldest Young Master has any issues, for you to specially visit?"

Jiang Zhe first returned the greeting, indifferently saying: "I came to find Father."

Shopkeeper: "Oh, then this servant shall withdraw first."

Li Niang wasnt willing to leave. She stared at Jiang Zhe in a daze, her face slightly red.

This was the Eldest Young Master of the Jiang family?

He was actually so handsome and pure-looking. If she could follow this Eldest Young Master, even if she had to throw away her reputation, she would be willing.

So when the shopkeeper reached out to pull her away, she nimbly avoided it, and then deliberately said out loud: "Li Niang has seen Eldest Young Master."

She dipped her head slightly, her gaze lowered. The red cheongsam was fitted to her white and fair skin, better showing her graceful slim figure.

She knew, that her current image was the most bewitching and could easily arouse a mans interest.

However, Jiang Zhe merely said "en", and remained silent.

Jiang Zhe: "I want to sell the shops under the Jiang familys name."

"Pu" Father Jiang spat out a mouth of tea. He looked at his son in disbelief, his eyes opened wide, What did you say?

Jiang Zhe looked serious: "I said, I want to sell half of the assets under the Jiang familys name."

Father Jiang couldnt hold his teacup steady, and the tea splashed on him.

However, he couldnt care less, a pair of eyes staring at his son: "Jiang Zhe. Do. You. Know. What. You. Are. Saying?

Father Jiangs every word and sentence was forced out through his gritted teeth. If it wasnt his son in front of him, he would have long chased the person out.

Jiang Zhe looked up and locked eyes with him, not hiding or avoiding, "I know what I am talking about, Father."

Jiang Zhe: "In fact, ever since I became familiar with the Jiangs family business, I have been thinking about this possibility."

Father Jiang stood up harshly, and said involuntarily: Why? This is the business that your dad started from scratch and worked hard to establish. Now, with one sentence, you want to sell them. Have you considered your old man, my feelings?

Jiang Zhe nodded seriously.

Father Jiang:

He felt that in front of his stubborn son, his dignity as an elder had suddenly disappeared.

He dispiritedly sat down, "Give me a reason."

Jiang Zhe: "Father thinks that the cloth from before was dyed well, right?"

Father Jiang didn't understand how the topic turned to this, but he still nodded.

Jiang Zhe: "Then, does Father know how much it costs to dye that cloth?"

Father Jiang frowned and thought about it. Based on his past experience, he extended a finger. After a while, he hesitated and added another one.

Jiang Zhe smiled: "Lets take it as one silver coin, but this is only the base cost. If we want to make a profit, then we must sell it for at least two silvers coins."

Father Jiang frowned silently.

Jiang Zhe: "However, three times the amount of such similar cloth can be bought for two silver coins from foreigners. Even so, they can still make huge profits."

Father Jiang instinctively refuted: "How can machine-made items be compared in the same context as traditional handicrafts?"

Jiang Zhe: "But Father, if it was me, between cloths of identical quality, I will naturally buy the cheaper one. Im only using it, why bother whether it was hand-dyed or machine-made? After all, once its made into clothes, I can still wear it just the same, isnt it?

TN: Oh my, is that a new future jealous woman for Li Cai Wei to handle? Or is it just showing how dedicated Jiang Zhe is to Cai Wei now? ?
