I was chased by my sickly junior brother who had two lives

At dawn, Chen Jia and Yang Xia were chatting in the Duke's Mansion. As they were talking, a noble lady wearing a gorgeous brocade robe and bright pearls on her head, surrounded by her maids, slowly walked towards the "Jinxiu Pavilion". This noble lady was Mrs. Lin, who was quite famous in the capital. Her family had a deep foundation in the capital, and Mrs. Lin herself was very particular about clothing fabrics, and she was the object of competition for many silk and satin shops.

Mrs. Lin walked into the shop with an elegant pace. She glanced around the shop with a flash of surprise and satisfaction in her eyes. Chen Jia and Yang Xia hurried forward to greet her.

"Mrs. Lin, what brings you here today?" Chen Jia bowed slightly with a proper smile on her face.

Madam Lin gently raised her hand, motioning Chen Jia to excuse herself from the formalities, and said in a gentle and pleasant voice, "Miss Chen, I heard that your Jinxiuxuan has been doing a booming business recently, and the fabrics you sell are all high-quality. I came here to take a look."

Yang Xia hurriedly stepped forward, picked up a piece of freshly dyed purple silk, and showed it to Madam Lin: "Madam Lin, look at this piece of silk. We used a special dye formula and printing and dyeing techniques to make it. This purple is deep and noble, like the brightest stars in the night sky. Moreover, this fabric is soft and has an excellent glossiness. It is very suitable for making clothes or for decoration."

Madam Lin reached out her hand and gently touched the silk. The delicate touch made her nod slightly: "This silk is really good, worthy of being produced by 'Jinxiuxuan'. I have seen countless silks in the capital, but few can compare with this one."

Chen Jia smiled and said, "Mrs. Lin, you are too kind. We at Jinxiuxuan have always been committed to providing customers with the best quality fabrics, and Miss Yang Xia has been striving for perfection in the dyeing process. We have put our heart and soul into every piece of fabric."

Mrs. Lin pondered for a moment, then looked at Chen Jia and said, "Miss Chen, to be honest, I came here today not only to appreciate your fabrics, but also to discuss something with you."

Chen Jia's heart was moved, and she said respectfully, "Madam Lin, please feel free to tell me. As long as it is within our ability, we will definitely serve you."

Mrs. Lin smiled and said, "I am very envious of your prosperous business at Jinxiuxuan. I would like to pay a share of the money and become a partner of your shop. What do you think, Miss Chen?"

Chen Jia and Yang Xia looked at each other, and both saw a hint of surprise in each other's eyes. After thinking for a moment, Chen Jia said, "Mrs. Lin, we are grateful for your kindness. Although the business of this shop is still good, it also faces many challenges and risks. Why do you want to invest in it?"

Mrs. Lin sighed softly and said, "Miss Chen, you know that I have always loved fabrics and silks, and have always wanted to make a difference in this area. Now that I see that your Jinxiuxuan is doing so well, I believe I will definitely gain something by following you. Moreover, my family has some resources and connections in the capital. If I become a shareholder, I may be able to bring more opportunities and development to the shop."

Yang Xia said, "Mrs. Lin, we appreciate your kindness. However, the current business model and development direction of our shop were carefully planned by the two of us. If you become a shareholder, some of the decisions and management aspects may need to be renegotiated and adjusted."

Madam Lin nodded slightly: "Of course I understand this. I don't want to interfere with your business, I just want to support you with funds and resources, so that we can make Jinxiuxuan bigger and stronger. I believe that with your abilities and my help, Jinxiuxuan will be famous in the capital and even the whole world."

Chen Jia pondered for a long time, and then said: "Mrs. Lin, we need to consider your proposal carefully. After all, this is related to the future development of the shop. Can you give us some time, and then give you an answer after we discuss it?"

Mrs. Lin smiled and said, "Of course, Miss Chen. I also hope that you can consider it carefully. I believe this is a good opportunity for both of us."

After seeing Mrs. Lin off, Chen Jia and Yang Xia returned to the inner room of the shop and began to discuss Mrs. Lin's investment.

"Chen Jia, what do you think about Mrs. Lin's investment? The resources and connections she mentioned are indeed very attractive to the development of our shop." Yang Xia said with a frown.

Chen Jia sat on the chair, tapping the table with her fingers: "Yang Xia, I understand the benefits of this. But we can't agree blindly. Madam Lin is a powerful person in the capital after all. If the cooperation is not pleasant, it may bring us some unnecessary trouble."

Yang Xia nodded in agreement: "You are right. We must first understand what resources she is talking about, as well as her specific expectations and requirements for the shop."

Chen Jia stood up and paced around the room: "Also, we have to consider the current financial situation and development plan of the shop. If Madam Lin buys shares, we have to discuss the distribution of our equity and profit sharing."

After an in-depth discussion, Chen Jia and Yang Xia decided to first investigate Mrs. Lin's background and resources, and also worked out a detailed cooperation plan, including equity distribution, profit sharing, decision-making mechanism and other aspects.

A few days later, Chen Jia invited Mrs. Lin to "Jinxiu Xuan" again.

"Mrs. Lin, after our discussions over the past few days, we have some ideas about your investment." Chen Jia said straight to the point.

Mrs. Lin leaned forward slightly and said, "Miss Chen, why don't you tell me about it?"

Chen Jia took out a plan and handed it to Mrs. Lin: "Mrs. Lin, this is the cooperation plan we have drawn up. If you buy shares, we plan to divide the equity of the shop into three parts, one for you, one for me and one for Yang Xia. In terms of profit sharing, it will also be distributed according to the equity ratio. As for the business decision-making of the shop, major matters need to be decided by the three of us together, and the daily operation will be in charge of me and Yang Xia."

Mrs. Lin took the plan and read it carefully. After a moment, she raised her head and said, "Ms. Chen, you have considered it very carefully. I am also quite satisfied with this plan. However, I have a small request."

Chen Jia said, "Mrs. Lin, please speak."

Mrs. Lin said: "I hope to have an area in the shop to display some of my precious fabrics and clothing collections, which can also add some unique charm to the shop."

Chen Jia and Yang Xia smiled at each other, and Chen Jia said, "Mrs. Lin's request is not excessive. We can arrange it."

Mrs. Lin nodded with satisfaction: "Well, in that case, I will officially become a shareholder of 'Jinxiuxuan'. I believe that with our joint efforts, the future of 'Jinxiuxuan' will be even more brilliant."

A few days later, Mrs. Li, who had met Chen Jia several times, also came to Jinxiuxuan. Although Mrs. Li's family was not as prominent as Mrs. Lin's in the capital, it was also quite prestigious.

When Mrs. Li saw Chen Jia, she smiled and said, "Miss Chen, it's been a long time since we last met. Your shop is getting more and more prosperous."

Chen Jia responded politely: "Mrs. Li, thanks to everyone for taking care of me. How come you have time to come to the shop today?"

Madam Li hesitated for a moment and said, "Miss Chen, I came here today to ask for a favor. I see that the business of Jinxiuxuan is so good, and I want to put in some money to share in the good fortune. What do you think?"

Chen Jia thought to herself that although she knew Madam Li, they were not close friends. She said, "Madam Li, I understand your intentions. However, we have many considerations regarding the partnership of this shop. As you know, we already have Madam Lin as a shareholder, and the structure of the shop is gradually becoming stable."

Madam Li said hurriedly, "Miss Chen, I don't need too many shares. I just want to show my appreciation and hope to have more dealings with you. Although my family is not as powerful as Madam Lin's, I have some friends in the circle of ladies in the capital, and perhaps I can bring some customers to the shop."

Chen Jia looked at Yang Xia, who shook her head slightly. Chen Jia then said to Madam Li, "Madam Li, we appreciate your kindness. We have no plans to expand our partnership at the moment. However, if we have other opportunities for cooperation in the future, we will definitely consider you."

Although Mrs. Li was a little disappointed, she still forced a smile and said, "Well, Miss Chen, I hope your shop will get better and better."

Miss Wang, who had known Yang Xia since childhood, also came to visit after hearing about the splendor of "Jinxiu Xuan".

When Miss Wang saw Yang Xia, she said excitedly: "Yang Xia, you are really amazing. This 'Jinxiuxuan' is now almost known to everyone in the capital."

Yang Xia smiled and took Miss Wang's hand: "Girl, you always tease me."

Miss Wang said, "Yang Xia, I came here today to tell you something. I want to invest some money in your shop. We grew up together, and I want to do the silk business with you."

Yang Xia looked at Chen Jia, who nodded slightly. Yang Xia then said to Miss Wang, "If you want to invest, we welcome you. However, we have to follow the previous rules, and there will be corresponding arrangements for equity and profit sharing."

Miss Wang quickly said, "These are all easy to talk about. As long as I can be with you, I will be happy."

In this way, "Jinxiuxuan" continued to flourish after selectively accepting some membership fees. Mrs. Lin, relying on her family resources, held many fabric tasting sessions for princes and nobles, making the reputation of "Jinxiuxuan" even more famous among the powerful and wealthy.
