Drive a RV and go farming in ancient times.

While the men played cards, Gu Huanxi went to take care of the housework. The Chinese New Year was coming soon, and there were still a lot of things that needed to be prepared. Fortunately, there were many servants at home, so she only had to use her words.

However, the New Year's gift for the Sun family was personally selected by her. It was mainly practical and practical. It included a variety of food made in the workshop, as well as down clothing, knitted gloves, scarves, velvet flower jewelry and ornaments, all of which were painted by her. Pattern, never sold on the market.

There is also a set of plush toys, which she guided several maids at home to sew. They have all the twelve zodiac signs. They are so cute and cute, and are the children's favorite. A Li couldn't put them down, and couldn't put them down after picking up any one. Xiaoyu is young and mature, even if he lacks a bit of childlike innocence, he couldn't help but pick a cool-looking little tiger and place it on his bed.

The next day, Xu Huaiyi originally planned to go to Sun's house to deliver New Year's gifts. Unexpectedly, the gifts were all loaded into the car, but Su Zhe came and brought a lot of things. The carriages came one after another, causing quite a sensation in the village. .

Now, he can only stay at home and entertain guests.

After entering the flower hall and sitting down for tea, Xu Huaiyi didn't mince words and asked directly, "Why are you here? What's the matter?"

Su Zhe took out a booklet and placed it on the table next to him. He said half jokingly and half seriously, "It's the end of the year. I'm not allowed to give an account to you?"

The two of them have cooperated in a lot of business, but for the tofu shop and the down shop, the accounts for each delivery are settled on the spot, and there is no reconciliation at the end of the year. Only the few percent of the business that Xu Huaiyi participated in, He doesn't interfere and only takes the dividends, so he doesn't need to look at the books.

Xu Huaiyi glared at him, "Are you trying to make things difficult for me? Do you think I know how to settle accounts?"

Everyone in the class knows how bad he is at reading. He is also good at martial arts and the art of war. He often falls asleep while listening to the fourth book and the fifth book. Fortunately, the martial arts examination does not test those contents, so they just study. It's like going through the motions.

Su Zhe liked his candid and unpretentious attitude. He smiled brightly and said, "Sister-in-law, don't you know how to..."

Xu Huaiyi waved his hand and said casually, "No need, how can I not trust you? If I can't trust you, I won't cooperate. Just tell me the total number. There's no need to be too detailed."

Xu Huaiyi really didn't look at it, and he didn't mean to refuse politely. For the wooden toys and velvet ornaments that they jointly owned, he and his wife were only responsible for producing the patterns and styles, and didn't worry about anything else. The accounts were also handled by the stewards of the Su family. If It would be difficult for them to find out if the other party deliberately deceived and made false accounts.

Besides, even if it was discovered, what would happen? Can you still break up your face? Therefore, there is no need to watch. Of course, Xu Huaiyi still prefers that Su Zhe will not be stupid enough to take advantage of this.

Su Zhe was very moved by Xu Huaiyi's trust. He didn't show any pretense. He simply put away the ledger and took out a pile of banknotes from his arms. "If you don't want to read the ledger, then just count the banknotes."

Xu Huaiyi took it happily this time and counted it with a smile, not hiding his joy, "I really didn't expect that I have made so much in just a few months, hahaha, I take advantage of you..."

Seeing that he was happy, Su Zhe was also happy, "We complement each other. Without the variety and styles provided by you and my wife, the business in the shop would not be so good. In the final analysis, I am actually taking advantage of you. This year, the family plans to make every decision In terms of personal income, among more than a dozen brothers, I take the lead..."

"Really? That's really gratifying!" Xu Huaiyi said sincerely, "Keep up the good work next year! Try to reach higher levels!"

"I'd like to lend you your kind words." Su Zhe returned the gift sincerely and said with emotion, "As I said before, it's all because of knowing you that I have achieved what I have today. Not only do I win the first place in business, I also win in front of the second prince. Face, my father called me into the study last night and praised me for the time I spent on a cup of tea. This is the first time since I was a child. This kind of scenery originally belonged to my eldest brother! "

Xu Huaiyi joked, "How does it feel now that it's your turn? Are you feeling proud or proud?"

Su Zhe said with a wry smile, "Some are proud and some are proud of the spring breeze, but most of them are trembling and walking on thin ice."

Xu Huaiyi understood immediately, picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, "It's cold at high places, this is the only way to go."

If you want to wear its crown, you must bear its weight.

Su Zhe nodded with mixed feelings, "Yes, so no matter how hard it is for me, scheming against me, or stumbling upon me behind my back, I have to grit my teeth and hold on. Now I have no chance to go back..."

Even if he wants to retreat, his elder brother will not let him go. Who told him to show the strength to compete with him?

Xu Huaiyi asked, "There is only one position for the head of the family. If you want it, you can only advance and not retreat. What does your father mean? Or should he just watch you fight each other with cold eyes?"

Su Zhe smiled mockingly, "Not this time. He promoted me openly and used me as a target, but secretly he helped his eldest brother consolidate his position. In his heart, his eldest brother is the eldest son and is more valuable than me. It has more weight, and my sister-in-law’s family is also very powerful and I can’t offend easily. But what about me? I’m just a concubine with a low status. One more is not too much, one less is not too much. Even if he has some business skills, he will not let it go too much. In my eyes, after all, who among the descendants of the Su family doesn’t know how to do business? They have learned abacus since they were born..."

Hearing this, Xu Huaiyi couldn't help but frown and asked tentatively, "Your father won't destroy the cooperation between us, right?"

Su Zhe said firmly, "Don't worry, he won't do it. My eldest brother is suppressing me and messing with my business behind my back. He can turn a blind eye, but he won't take action because you have Sun behind you." We are the backers of our family, and if he destroys our joint business, it will be a slap in the face of the Sun family. "

Xu Huaiyi breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, otherwise it would be too bad."

He and Su Zhe were classmates and could be considered friends. How should he deal with his friend's biological father who was causing trouble?

Su Zhe could not breathe a sigh of relief. He changed the topic and said in a bitter tone, "He won't take part in the business we are cooperating with now, but in the future, he may get involved, and it's really hard for me to say no."

Xu Huaiyi's heart skipped a beat, "In the future? For example..."

Su Zhe smiled helplessly and struggled to say, "For example, the business we are about to cooperate with."

Xu Huaiyi suddenly said, "Does your father know about all the ceramic toilets and shower systems that were made?"

Su Zhe nodded and said guiltily, "I didn't do well enough. I was too eager for quick success and wanted to get more chips for myself in front of the Second Prince. Before everything was ready, I borrowed your manpower to go to the Second Prince." The house was being renovated, and then... my father saw it. He thought this business had great potential, so he thought of taking it over and partnering with you in the name of the Su family. "

Xu Huaiyi immediately looked at him with sympathy, "Good guy, are you trying to leave me alone?"

Su Zhe laughed at himself, "It's not like you've completely left it alone. I'm here to talk to you, but the business is not mine alone."

"I understand, it is the entire Su family that benefits, not you Su Zhe anymore, right?"

"Um……"

Xu Huaiyi asked in confusion, "Your father is trying to stop you, but why? He is afraid that you will be too powerful and overwhelm your elder brother, so he is suppressing you? But doesn't your Su family pursue this kind of competition mechanism? ? It’s not like the eldest son inherits the family business. If you succeed, the Su family will also benefit, and he will not lose..."
