Chapter 397: Chapter 398: Treating You like a Daughter_1

Jiang Fengzhen looked at Nan Feng, "You know, there are many people in this city who want to partner with me, but I particularly took a liking towards Spikenard Square where your establishment is, and you even more so. After merging your Spikenard Square with mine, you could assist me, be my right-hand woman, and I promise to reward you handsomely. It’ll be much more profitable than running your own business. Furthermore, you mentioned you have a fiancé, right? Aren’t you planning to get married soon? Once a woman is married, she’ll need to have children. Will you then have time to manage your own business?"

With unwavering certainty, Nan Feng replied, "I have my ways, you need not concern yourself with this, Mrs. Jiang. However, I must make it clear: your intentions toward me are not pure, so I would rather not befriend you."

Having said that, Nan Feng rose from her seat, took out a piece of broken silver from her bag, and placed it on the table. She looked at Jiang Fengzhen and said, "I’m paying for my share, you can cover yours."

After Nan Feng left, Jiang Fengzhen remained seated.

Naturally, she was not pleased.

Originally, she planned to send a butler to negotiate with Nan Feng, but her interest in Spikenard Square got the best of her - especially after seeing the sales volume at the Business Association. Hence, she personally came, but Nan Feng gave her no face, outright rejecting her offer.

Jiang Fengzhen finished the last drop of her tea.

If going the soft way won’t work, then let’s take the hard route. After all, she was determined to acquire Spikenard Square.

...

Nan Feng, with her slightly bulging belly, returned to Spikenard Square.

Previously, she hadn’t felt anything special when she arrived at Spikenard Square each morning, but today, she found the three billboards of Spikenard Square particularly endearing.

This was the business she built from scratch. How could she just sell it off easily?

Furthermore, who said she couldn’t expand Spikenard Square to neighboring counties and cities? Her next plan was to open a branch in the neighboring county, she intended to show Wan Fengzhen her abilities.

...

That afternoon, a man came to Nan Feng’s shop for an interview, claiming that he was referred by Xia the Bodyguard, and he wanted to apply for the position of Director. After meeting Jiang Fengzhen in the morning and now having this man show up in the afternoon, and without Brother Ye around to verify his identity, Nan Feng naturally suspected that he could be a spy, and had to be cautious.

The man introduced himself as Li Moxiu, who looked about thirty years old. He presented as a scholarly gentleman. According to him, he was a refugee from the north, and he had previously worked as head of accounting in a restaurant for several years. He had fled to this place with his entire family due to warfare. He had a wife and a pair of sons, who were now staying at the refugee house.

Li Moxiu indeed spoke with a northern accent. He repeatedly emphasized that if Nan Feng would take him in, he would do his utmost to improve his current living situation for his wife and sons.

Due to her cautious nature, Nan Feng asked him to return the next day.

That night after Spikenard Square closed, Nan Feng hurried to meet with Brother Ye to confirm the situation. Brother Ye told Nan Feng that Li Moxiu was indeed his recommendation. Brother Ye had heard that Nan Feng had been wanting to hire someone for a long time, and when he saw that Li Moxiu had been admitted to the refugee house, he felt that Li Moxiu was suitable.

Nan Feng then described what had happened with Wan Fengzhen and voiced her concerns. But Brother Ye assured Nan Feng, stating that the person he introduced would not go wrong.

Of course, Nan Feng trusted Brother Ye, so when Li Moxiu returned the next day, she hired him. But she emphasized a three-month probation period, warning that if he did not meet expectations, he would have to leave Spikenard Square.
