Chapter 724: 730 seeks help and haggles_1

"Oh, what trouble are you talking about? It’s no trouble at all. I’ve taken care of you for so long, how could I bear it if I really have to leave like this?" Aunt Liu said, breaking into a smile, and then stuffed her things into the trunk of the car.

Although Lin Xiangwan didn’t promise anything, she told herself in her heart. ’She must work hard to make money, to make sure the children live well, and to pay Aunt Liu a higher salary. That’s a requirement she set for herself!’

"Have they left?" Zhou Ziqing asked the maid.

"Yes, Miss Zhou, she has left with the children!" the maid said.

"Hmm, you may leave now!" Zhou Ziqing nodded without even looking at the maid.

The maid in her fifties considered for a moment, and then said, "Miss Zhou, considering how much I’ve been supporting you, don’t forget about me if you become the young lady of the house in the future. I will definitely support you even more!"

Zhou Ziqing took a glance at the old woman and smiled. "Don’t worry, if I really become the lady of the house, I will definitely make you the housekeeper. Butler Wang is too old and it’s no longer suitable for him to work here!"

"Yes!" The maid smiled, "Then I won’t bother Miss Zhou while she rests!"

"Hmm!"

After the door was closed, Zhou Ziqing was immersed in tremendous excitement.

This feeling of driving the other woman away, she really wanted to jump for joy, she really wanted to laugh out loud.

Now, without anyone to share her joy, she felt so uncomfortable.

Zhou Ziqing went to her daughter’s side and pinched her daughter’s cheek. "Even though you look like this, you’re quite useful. Okay, for this, I’ll treat you better in the future. Of course, you’d better understand, you need to make your father like you too, understand?"

Little Duoduo was in pain from the pinching, with tears rolling down her cheeks. It could also be a reflex, the approach of her mother made the girl cry out nervously, her eyes filled with fear. "Whaa...whaa..."

The child’s ugly crying made Zhou Ziqing incredibly unhappy.

She pinched the child’s face harder and said angrily. "You’re such an unsensible child, why are you crying? Am I not good to you? What you cry for?"

"Whoo...Whoo..." Little Duoduo was very sad and called out unclearly. "Auntie...Auntie..."

Zhou Ziqing became even angrier and started spanking the child.

’Slap...’

"You’re really brain-damaged, do you want to kill your mother, I am your mother, and you’re actually thinking of that woman..."

"Whoo..."

At that moment, Qin Muchuan entered the room.

"Ah...You’re here!" Zhou Ziqing’s hand hesitated in mid-air awkwardly, then she awkwardly put it down.

Qin Muchuan’s look turned stern, and he asked in a low voice. "What were you doing?"

Zhou Ziqing answered nervously. "I...Well, this child... She can’t talk or stand up, I’m worried, I was trying to massage her to get her to stand up earlier! Ha ha, I didn’t expect you to come in!"

Qin Muchuan still looked very unhappy and warned, "Ziqing, I seriously warn you, you can’t harm Duoduo behind my back. Even though she’s a problematic child, you can’t abuse her. Instead, you should treat her even better, understand?"

Zhou Ziqing stomped her foot angrily and fell into Qin Muchuan’s arms. She repeatedly punched his chest with her fists. "Qin Muchuan, what do you take me for? I’m the child’s real mother, not her stepmother. How could I harm my own child behind her back? What do you take me for?"

"If there’s nothing, that’s the best. If there is, I won’t forgive you. This is the truth, did you hear?" Qin Muchuan continued to warn seriously.

"I got it!" Zhou Ziqing replied in a small voice.

Qin Muchuan sighed and changed his attitude. He put his arm around her waist and lightly patted her back. "You don’t have to feel wronged either. I did this for the sake of the child too. I’m afraid sometimes... your emotions get the best of you and you take out your moods on the child..."

Qin Muchuan’s soft and gentle voice was something Zhou Ziqing enjoyed. "You don’t need to explain, I know it’s for my own good too. Duoduo is my child. If you can be nice to her, of course, I’ll be the happiest!"

"Well, it’s best if you can understand!"

"Ha-ha, how could I not understand!" Zhou Ziqing continued to nestle into his arms.

Qin Muchuan skillfully pushed her away, then his expression turned bitter. "Ziqing, I have something to discuss with you!"

"Ah? What’s up?" she raised her cheek and looked at him.

"Um... Does what you said last time still count?" Qin Muchuan asked somewhat embarrassingly.

"What’s that?"

"It’s about helping your friend smuggle out the rare-earth minerals!" Qin Muchuan said somewhat hesitantly and embarrassingly.

Zhou Ziqing’s eyes lit up. "Of course, as long as you can get the goods out, my friend said, he will give you a benefit of ten million!"

"I... I went to look into it today... The volume your friend is smuggling is not small at all, and now the price of rare-earth minerals has risen dramatically. If he could really get them out, he might be able to make a lot of money. Giving me ten million... I think it’s a bit less!" Qin Muchuan said greedily.

Zhou Ziqing said, not quite clear on the value. "Is that so? I don’t know exactly how much his smuggled goods are worth! However, you can specify an amount, and I’ll go talk to him. If he agrees, can you help?"

Qin Muchuan nodded. "That would be best. Well, how about this, if he gives me twenty million in benefits, I’ll help handle it. Otherwise, I’m not going to do it!"

"Twenty million?! Is that a bit too much? I guess he doesn’t have that much profit margin, right?"

Qin Muchuan shrugged. "Then let him consider it. After all, you should also know that if...these goods can’t be disposed of, all he can do is swallow the loss. Getting them out would at least help to cut some losses."

Zhou Ziqing nodded.

"Also, the price of rare earth minerals is highly speculative right now. If we miss this high-price window, even if he finds someone else to get these goods out, I don’t think he could sell them at a good price, right?"

"That’s right! You make a lot of sense. OK, I’ll go ask about this matter!" Zhou Ziqing said with a smile.

Qin Muchuan also curled up his lips at the corner of his mouth. "Do you think I’m quite greedy?"

"Of course not, you’re a businessman, right? No profit, no getting up early, I understand that!"

"Uh..." Qin Muchuan was still quite conflicted. "Because the capital company is having a lot of difficulties with funds right now. In fact, twenty million can’t really solve any problem, but more is always better than less during hard times..."
