Chapter 241 The Factory Has Been Burglarized

Before Hu Die could even finish investigating Murakami Kyoko, the other party started contacting them.

"Butterfly, well, Xingzi said she wants to open a shop with you guys." The general touched his nose. He shouldn't have brought this up, but Xingzi had asked him so much.

Hu Die had just told Lin Liuyi that the Marshal wouldn't interfere with their shop opening when she was immediately proven wrong.

Hu Die didn't speak, she just stared at the commander.

"You think it won't work? Fine, I've already told you, and if you don't agree, there's nothing I can do about it! It's not my fault!"

Hu Die thought that her silent rejection would anger the commander, but to her surprise, the commander seemed quite happy and finished speaking on his own.

Hu Die was left wondering whether she should be angry or happy.

"General, is this all you're going to say to Xingzi?"

"Of course, I only promised her that I would mention it once. As for whether she agrees or not, I don't care!" The general was very clear-headed. His wives were doing a good job, but Xingzi insisted on interfering. He wouldn't agree to it either.

"Since you already know the result, why ask again?" Hu Die was no longer angry.

"Didn't she beg me desperately?" the general said, embarrassed.

"Oh, so the commander is quite the gentleman!" Hu Die teased him.

"No, no, apricots are fine too!"

"Is that good? Putting everything else aside, Commander, there's no way we can open a shop with her!" Hu Die told Commander bluntly.

The general looked helpless. "Die'er, why? Isn't Xingzi good enough? She seems so sincere, and you'll have more sisters to help you out."

Hu Die immediately put down the water glass she had picked up. "Sincerity? She even dared to sneak into your study. Who knows if there's a trap waiting for us behind her back? Besides, this shop was painstakingly prepared by me and my sisters. Why should she join just because she wants to?"

"Well, isn't there nothing in the study?" The general scratched his head.

Hu Die knew that the general was nothing but fighting, and he couldn't even see that Xingzi was a woman with ulterior motives.

"General, tell her that joining our business is impossible, we will not agree, and tell her to give up on that idea."

The general sighed, "Alright, I'll go and talk to her. But you all need to be prepared, I have a feeling that Xingzi won't give up easily."

After saying that, the general turned and left.

Sure enough, the day after they refused, while the ladies were busy with their shop business, Xingzi actually came to their door.

"Sisters, I brought you pear soup. Please come and have a taste."

"Oh, didn't Seventh Concubine say this is food for the lower classes? So you can't eat it, but we lower classes can, right?" Fourth Concubine also remembered how Xingzi had looked down on them.

"Oh, you're too kind, ladies. Big sister, please have something to eat. You look so tired, let me help you tidy up."

The First Madam was tidying up the lipsticks that had been messed up by the guests when Kyoko went up to her ingratiating manner.

"No need, and call me Madam!" Madam immediately retorted.

"Madam!"

"Fifth Sister, let me help you wipe the counter!" Xingzi was unwilling to give up and turned to the silent Fifth Concubine.

Fifth Concubine remained silent; Xingzi had thought she was approachable.

To everyone's surprise, the fifth concubine snatched the towel from Xingzi's hand without even glancing at her.

Xingzi's face turned pale and then flushed, but she still forced a smile.

"Why are you all being so cold to me today? Is it because of the shop opening? Actually, I just wanted to help you all, and I meant no harm."

The second wife sneered, "Seventh Concubine, you can only fool the Marshal with those words. We know exactly what you're thinking."

Seeing that the men were looking at her so coldly, Xingzi knew she wouldn't get anything good today. Her expression changed immediately, and she reverted to her usual disdainful attitude, ordering the servants to take the things away again.

"What do you think she's trying to do?" the second wife asked, puzzled.

If Kyoko apologizes to them properly, they might give her another chance.

But she only said yes, she was dreaming if she expected them to open their hearts to her.

Don't think she can't see it; although Kyoko says nice things on the surface, her eyes are full of contempt for them.

"No matter what she's up to, we're not afraid. We'll meet force with force!" Hu Die, of course, could also see that Xingzi had ulterior motives.

However, she didn't expect that this apricot was quite clever.

"You mean, that Xingzi secretly approached you to sow discord?" Hu Die really didn't expect that after they all rejected her, Xingzi would still go to the Sixth Concubine first.

"Yes, although she didn't say it explicitly, I could tell from her tone. She said that I mixed all the colors for the lipsticks in the shop, that I should take the lion's share of the profits, and that we are the shop's managers now, and that I'm really losing out."

The sixth concubine's eyes reddened with anger. "How could she be so malicious? We sisters have worked together to open this shop. When have we ever been so calculating?"

The sixth concubine knew perfectly well that she didn't really own the majority of the business. Not to mention the production line that Hu Die brought out, she couldn't even learn how the second concubine treated customers, the fourth concubine's shop layout, or the fifth concubine's daily relationships. Even the first concubine, who didn't talk much, could immediately arrange for someone to replenish the goods if any were missing.

Xingzi really underestimated the importance of opening a shop. She knew a few colors, but she owed much more to the books that the third concubine had brought in. It could be said that the shop was built through the joint efforts of all of them. If they had been concerned about who contributed more, the shop would never have been able to open in the first place.

Hu Die patted Sixth Concubine's hand to comfort her, "The more she acts like this, the more it shows that she's guilty and anxious. As long as we don't fall for it, she can't do anything about it."

The sixth concubine nodded and carefully wrote it down.

She liked her life now. She had left the brothel. Although she was a concubine in the warlord's mansion, all the sisters treated her as a complete person, not as anyone's appendage. The achievements of the sisters working together on a common goal were indescribable.

What's more, their shop is doing so well that she spends every day immersed in developing new products.

After calming down the sixth concubine, Hu Die secretly went to inquire with the others whether Xingzi had instigated them.

After asking around, she found that she had actually managed to persuade only the sixth concubine.

"Why should she? Does she think I'm easy to bully?" The sixth concubine was unhappy after the group reviewed the situation.

This left the others with no choice but to appease the sixth concubine first.

Just then, someone from the shop came to report that a thief had been caught at the factory!
