Chapter 683: Misunderstanding
Editor: Henyee Translations
After speaking to Nie Shuang, she turned to look at Gu Yundong.
Gu Yundong’s mouth twitched and she said, “Actually, you can buy my recipe. When the time comes...”
Before she could finish speaking, she saw Nie Shuang shake her head so hard that the pearl hairpin on her head almost fell off.
She said very seriously, “No, you have to participate.”
“Why not?”
Nie Shuang did not speak, but Madam Dai, who was at the side, seemed to have read her mind. She could not help but cover her mouth and laugh. “I know why. She doesn’t have confidence in herself. She’s afraid that she’ll mess up the shop that she has worked so hard to open.”
Gu Yundong looked at Madam Dai. “Don’t we still have you?”
Madam Dai shrugged and said frankly, “I can still be of some use to deal with those madams and young ladies, but I’m afraid I can’t operate a shop. Otherwise, why do you think my shop is empty?”
After a long time, Gu Yundong heaved a sigh of relief. She met their eyes and said, “Alright, let’s cooperate. But we still need to discuss the division of the profits...”
“Alright, you’ll take 60%.”
Gu Yundong: “...” No, wait. You’ve misunderstood me.
She rubbed her forehead. “I’m saying that 50% is too much. You said it yourself. You’ll be responsible for the shop, the silver, and the hard work. It’s also your job to attract customers. I’m just giving an idea. It’s not appropriate for me to take so much.”
“Yes, yes.” Even Dai nodded. “If you don’t participate, we won’t dare to open the shop even if we pay.”
However, Gu Yundong insisted on refusing. It might not be a problem in the early stages, but what about later? When the business became big and there was a conflict, her shares would be the primary problem.
Moreover, there was no problem with Madam Dai and Nie Shuang now, but what would their families think if they knew?
Besides, among the three of them, she was the weakest.
Therefore, from the beginning, she should make it clear about the problem of the shares so that they would not fall out over such things in the future.
