Chapter 28: Cocooning Oneself

All the managers in the room were pale in an instant, and Mu Shangye's face was also a little bad. If Qin Mu analyzed this, the joint venture plan of the Xu family in Jinling obviously had a hidden heart, so how could they not be afraid?

"Can the Xu family in Jinling really eat us?" asked Wu San, the butler, after a while, fearful.

"Haha, of course, these are my personal guesses. Everyone doesn't have to take them seriously. Maybe the Xu family is really bad because they have too much money and want to help us with the Mu family." After saying this, Qin Mu had to act obediently when he got the advantage, and said hypocritically.

"San Master, regardless of whether the Xu family in Jinling has bad intentions or not, we have to be careful."

The butler Wu San said that Wu San was frightened by Qin Mu's analysis just now and was sweating. If it was really as Qin Mu said, it would be fatal to the Mu family's business.

"Yes, the Third Master, you must not have the intention to harm others, and you must be careful of others." said an old manager.

"Yes, Master San, in fact, our Mu family's fabric business is the best in Jiangnan. It can be said that it occupies half of the Jiangnan fabric market. There is no need to join forces with the Xu family in Jinling." said a conservative manager.

"San Master, I think I need to reconsider the matter of joint venture with the Xu family in Jinling."

...

The managers said one after another that they agreed to the Xu family in Jinling just now. Everyone opposed the Xu family in Jinling. After all, this involved everyone's common interests. They were all tied to the Mu family, and they all prospered and lost.

"But Xu Dongyi from the Xu family in Jinling is made by Suzhou Weaving. We cannot offend easily." Mu Shangye frowned and said worriedly.

"Yes, the ones we do in the fabric business, the one we cannot offend the most is from Su~zhou Weaving Mansion." The managers were also stunned.

Jiangnan was the most prosperous place in the Qin Dynasty. Throughout history, there has been a saying that Jiangnan has been prosperous. In addition to agriculture, Jiangnan is the most famous Jiangnan Sandao.

The so-called Jiangnan three roads are Yang~zhou salt road, Jinling tea ceremony, and Su~zhou weaving. These three are the most profitable businesses in Jiangnan.

The Xu family in Jinling is in charge of Suzhou weaving, which is the source of supply of all cloths. The Xu family is so rich that it is not surprising that they want to monopolize the world's fabric business in the hands of their own family.

However, the Mu family did not dare to offend the Xu family in Jinling. They were in charge of Suzhou weaving and could cut off the Mu family's fabric supply at any time, which was a fatal matter.

The scene suddenly became cold, and everyone frowned. Only Qin Mu was the most relaxed. As the saying goes, things were not enough, and they were hanging up high. Moreover, everyone did not ask for their own opinions, so of course he shut up.

Mu Shangye frowned and suddenly realized that Qin Mu was very leisurely and had no sense of collective crisis at all. However, Mu Shangye still admired one thing very much. This kid did have some vision. Even the old man and his brothers had hidden the tricks of the Xu family in Jinling, but he could not escape from his eyes.

"Qin Mu, what do you think about this matter?"

Mu Shangye looked at Qin Mu and asked, since this kid could see the skills of the Xu family in Jinling, he should be able to come up with a solution.

"This..., Uncle San, I am just the son-in-law of the Mu family. Where is my turn to speak in this meeting hall?"

Qin Mu said lazily, if you want me to say it, I will say, am I very embarrassed? There is a cup of tea next to the seats of others, and there is nothing here. You are discriminating. Qin Mu feels unhappy. Now that he has the initiative, Qin Mu is not holding on to it.

"If you tell me, just say, why are there so much nonsense?"

Mu Shangye glared at Qin Mu fiercely and said angrily, this brat is really good at the nose, as if he has no status in the Mu family.

"Aren't I thirsty? You all drink tea, I'm so thirsty that I can't speak." Qin Mu said weakly.

"You..., come and serve tea to Mr. Qin."

Mu Shangye was almost bleeding from anger, but for the sake of the family's business, he could only endure his anger and ask his servants to serve tea for Qin Mu.

"It's a bit thick, I still like to talk about some tea." Qin Mu shook his head and said after taking a sip of tea slowly.

"Okay, tell me your opinion." Mu Shangye's patience was limited, but Mu Shangye had never been led by a junior like this.

"How to say this, it is certain that we can't join forces with the Xu family in Jinling, but our Mu family can't tell them directly that they don't join forces with them, as that will offend people. We have to think of a way to ask the Xu family in Jinling to propose not to join forces. This is what the Xu family in Jinling owes us. In the future, we can get more fabric quotas from Suzhou weaving." Qin Mu said.

"Sister Qin, what do you mean is that the Xu family in Jinling is unwilling to join forces with my Mu family? Is this possible?" said the butler Wu San.

"Why is it impossible? Isn't the old saying "things are done by man"? How can you know if you don't do it?" Qin Mu said.

“How to do it specifically?”

Mu Shangye looked at Qin Mu and asked, Actually, Yun Xi was really a good choice to marry this kid. At least, this kid is very business-minded and very helpful to the entire Mu family in the future.

"How to do it? I don't know either. I don't know about the Xu family in Jinling. If I really want me to say, I just find someone who is good at speaking and goes to Jinling and find a way to make the Xu family in Jinling feel that it is a big mistake to join forces with our Mu family and will make a fortune. In that case, as long as the Xu family in Jinling is not in trouble, they will never join forces with our Mu family." Qin Mu thought about it and said.

"Who do you think should be sent?" Mu Shangye asked, staring at Qin Mu.

"How do I know this? I don't know many people in the Mu family."

Qin Mu said this and found something was wrong. Everyone stared at themselves and asked in confusion: "Why are you all looking at me?"

"I think you are a very suitable candidate."

Mu Shangye said that the kid who talks the most about the discussion hall now is this guy. If you want to be able to speak well, no one in the room can compare to him, especially the Xu family's tricks, which he saw. This idea was also what he wanted to go out, and no one was more suitable than him.

"Me? No, no, I definitely can't."

Qin Mu quickly said, this errand is a hot goat. Whoever gets involved will die, even if he doesn't die, he will lose a layer of skin. Qin Mu won't do such a thankless thing.

"I think Mr. Qin is the most suitable candidate."

"Uncle Qin is extremely wise and can tell at a glance the tricks of the Xu family in Jinling. Only Aunt Qin can do this.

"The Xu family's trick was seen by Mr. Qin, and his idea was also thought by Mr. Qin. I think it's not a problem for the second master. I'd better work hard for Mr. Qin to go to Jinling to convince the Xu family."

"Yes, I must have done this matter with Mr. Qin."

"Aunt Qin is extremely wise, and it's not a piece of cake to deal with this matter."

...

All the officials said that they all supported Qin Mu as a lobbyist. After all, everyone is a thousand-year-old old fox. They all know that this is a thankless errand. No one wants anyone to take it forever. So Mu Sanye wants Qin Mu to be a lobbyist. Everyone actively supports it. The supportive attitude comes from the heart, without any falsehood. Everyone has the same idea: "Die fellow Taoists, but I will not die."

"I really can't do it. I'm still young and have never seen any world. I'll mess up things when I go. Uncle San, you'd better send a respected manager."

Qin Mu immediately shook his head and said, "You guys are so unconscienced. You kindly told them the problem. They actually repay themselves like this. If they had known that they wouldn't say it. Now Qin Mu regrets death. It's all his fault for being mean. It's nothing to do. I'm just trapping myself in this way."

"You are too modest, Mr. Qin. Now no one knows that you are a talented person, especially the song "Changmen Fu" you made has been spread all over the country and is known as the number one contemporary song. No one is more suitable than you." said a manager.

"Yes, Mr. Qin, don't refuse. If you can't do it, no one in our Mu family dares to say it's OK." said an old manager.

"Yes, I'll ask you for this matter of the son-in-law. We will definitely support you. If you want money, people, and beauties, I will find beauties, as long as you give me instructions."

Another manager stood up and said, "Anyway, everyone is determined to let Mr. Qin go to Jinling as a lobbyist."

"Qin Mu, look at everyone who supports you unanimously, you can't ignore everyone's wishes." Mu Shangye said happily when he saw Qin Mu's defeated look.

"I..." Qin Mu wanted to say something shirked.

"I know that letting you go alone is a embarrassment for you. I ask Butler Wu to accompany you. If you don't believe others, don't you still believe Butler Wu?" Mu Shangye interrupted Qin Mu and said.

"But..." Qin Mu's face turned a little blue with anxiety.

"There's nothing, it's decided. Butler Wu, you're ready to accompany Mr. Qin to Jinling tomorrow. By the way, bring more silver and don't be afraid of spending money. It's getting late, and it's just like that. Everyone will part."

After Mu Shangye finished speaking, he hurriedly left the meeting hall without giving Qin Mu any chance to speak. If someone noticed him at this time, he would find that Mu Shangye had a smile on his lips.

"Yes, it's getting late, my sleepworms are coming out, I have to go back to bed quickly."

"My wife made a big tonic soup for me tonight. Now it's cold. No, I have to go back and drink it quickly."

...

As soon as Mu Shangye left the front door, these officials immediately found various reasons to leave quickly.

Soon, the spacious conference hall was left with Qin Mu, who was about to cry but not tears.

"My mother, who are these?" Qin Mu cursed inwardly when he walked out of the conference hall and looked at the empty yard outside.
