131 Chapter 131 Collaboration
âIâm 80% sure. Think about it; you will have to return the money you borrowed eventually, but itâs not the same for your daughterâs dowry. Once that money enters their family, it will belong to them.â Sixth Aunt Gu nodded and smiled in response.
âThey have so many twists and turns in their heads.â
âThatâs why I am saying you must be on guard against them. Donât let them trick you; otherwise, the life youâve worked so hard to get will return to how it was before.â
âThank you for your advice, Sixth Aunt Gu. Come over and chat with us whenever you are free, you can give us more advice that way.â
âItâs fine as long as you donât find me talkative.â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âNo one is perfect. As long as you are kind, anyone will be friends with you.â
âYes, yes, thatâs it. The most important thing about someone else is whether they are kind or not.â Sixth Aunt Gu agreed with a nod.
The two of them chatted for a while longer, and Sixth Aunt Gu got up to leave after another drink.
Zhou Ying didnât persuade her to stay. Instead, she packed a bag of fried beans in oil paper and accompanied her out. She returned to the kitchen and got busy after that.
On the other hand, Gu Chengrui arrived in town and first went to the restaurant to look. He then turned around and went to Doctor Luoâs clinic.
Doctor Luo, who was picking out medicine, was stunned when he saw him. âGu, youâre here. Take a seat and wait for me. Iâll be done in a minute.
After he finished speaking, he continued to sort out some medicine. After sending two customers away, he walked to Gu Chengrui, sitting on a chair at the entrance, and said jokingly, âBringing a medicine kit to our shop; are you planning on challenging us?â
âI wouldnât dare. I came to find you today because I have some serious business to discuss.â
âSerious business? Follow me then.â Doctor Luo gave his helper a few instructions and then took him to the back.
After he sat down, he poured him a glass of water and asked, âTell me, whatâs the matter today?â
âItâs about the new clinic.â
âA new clinic? Are you also planning to buy that place?â
âIf you donât have the money, I wouldnât have it either,â said Gu Chengrui.
âWhat about your restaurant?â
âSomeone gave it to me, but donât tell anyone else. We are only telling the public that my wife is the manager there.â
When Doctor Luo heard that, he knew it was pretty complicated, so he didnât talk more about the restaurant. Instead, he smiled and said, âSo, youâre here today to open a clinic together?â
âIt seems that you are as wise as you are old.
âBut yes, the clinic over there is much bigger than this one, and you wouldnât be able to handle it alone.
âAlthough Iâm not talented, I do have some skills. Wouldnât it be good for us to collaborate?â
âThen how do you want us to collaborate?â
âHow much silver can you take out?â
Doctor Luo stretched his hand and said, â1,000 taels; this is all I have.â
âIs another 500 from me enough?â
Doctor Luo looked at him in surprise and asked, âCan you really offer 500 taels?â
âYes, weâll split it two to one. You get two shares, and I get one.â
Doctor Luo looked at his solemn expression and fell into deep thought.
Seeing this, Gu Chengrui did not disturb him. Instead, he warmed his hands and drank some water.
After about a quarter of an hour, Doctor Luo slammed the table and decided, âAlright, but you have to listen to me in terms of management.â
âYouâre more experienced and have a wider network. Of course, Iâll listen to you.â
âThen what are we waiting for? Letâs hurry up and draft the contract, then go to the county office and buy the place. Otherwise, who knows who might take it?â Doctor Luo immediately stood up and said.
After that, he turned around to get a brush and ink.
When Gu Chengrui returned home in the evening, he gave the contract to Zhou Ying and said, âThe matter of the clinic has been settled. Keep this well.â
Zhou Ying took it and directly threw it into the villaâs study in her interspace. She then told him about Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Yaoâs visit.
