Chapter 533: The Deal with Mi Zhen

Chapter 533: The Deal with Mi Zhen
After hearing what Mi Zhen said, Zhang Sui and Da Qiao looked at each other and neither said anything to comfort her.

Da Qiao felt quite sympathetic towards this young lady from the Mi family.

The Mi family was once the richest family in Xuzhou and was very famous.

Although the Qiao family is also a famous business family, they are only well-known in the vicinity of Lujiang County.

Compared with the Mi family, it is far behind.

However, both the Qiao family and the Mi family hoped to become officials and change their status as merchants.

Although as businessmen, both the Qiao and Mi families were wealthy.

However, in this land, merchants have been lambs to be slaughtered since ancient times.

Taking up a government post is the only way.

Therefore, during the Warring States Period, the merchant Lu Buwei created the allusion of "rare goods are valuable".

Compared to the Mi family, Da Qiao felt somewhat fortunate.

At least the man chosen by his father for him was the one in front of him, not Liu Xuande.

Zhang Sui Ze sighed secretly.

Historically, the Mi family eventually surrendered to Liu Bei.

The reason why the brothers Mi Zhu and Mi Fang are still unwilling to give up Liu Bei is probably because the sunk costs are too high.

The huge Mi family has pledged their all to Liu Bei, but now they are giving up. Doesn't that mean they are admitting that their investment has failed?

This is most likely one of the reasons why Mi Fang betrayed Liu Bei in history.

Mi Zhen cried for a long time before she stopped.

She also understood.

In the current situation, comfort will not have any effect.

His two brothers were determined to follow Liu Xuande until death.

To save the Mi family, he had to make another choice.

Fortunately, the man in front of me seems to be interested in me.

Not just because of your beauty, or maybe, also because of your abilities?
Holding back her grief, Mi Zhen said to Zhang Sui, "Who are you looking for this time?"

Seeing that Mi Zhen had calmed down, Zhang Sui nodded secretly.

There were actually quite a few outstanding women during the late Han Dynasty.

At least, Mi Zhen in front of him performed quite well.

It’s a pity that because she was a woman and the daughter of a merchant, there are not many written records about her in historical books.

After organizing his words in his mind for a while, Zhang Suicai said, "You kissed me."

Mi Zhen blushed under her veil and said, "Yes."

Zhang Sui said: "Well, I can help you solve your current predicament."

"As of now, I feel that I am much better than Liu Xuande."

"Besides, as the daughter of the Mi family, to be honest, you don't have much money to give me."

"So, you don't have to worry about spending too much on me and not getting any benefits in the future."

"Just like your Mi family invested the vast majority of their assets in Liu Xuande, but got nothing in return."

"The only person you can bet on is yourself."

"And you yourself, to be frank, you won't feel wronged even if you commit yourself to me."

"Many daughters of aristocratic families wanted to commit themselves to me, but I didn't give them a chance."

Da Qiao lowered her head, hesitated for a moment, and said to Zhang Sui, "General, I, I'll go sit outside first."

What happens next is not something you should listen to.

I'm just a woman, so it's better for me to know less about such important matters.

From childhood to adulthood, my father taught me to support my husband and raise my children, and not to cause trouble for my husband.

Zhang Sui smiled at Da Qiao and said, "Then wait outside for a while, I will go out to find you later."

Da Qiao bowed to Zhang Suiying and left. Mi Zhen watched Da Qiao leave, then continued, "I know."

Biting her red lips, Mi Zhen took a deep breath, took off her veil, revealing a tear-stained face, and said seriously, "So, General, what do you want me to do?"

Zhang Sui raised his eyebrows, looked Mi Zhen up and down, and said, "What I want you to do is actually beneficial to both of us."

"Although the Mi family has declined, the Mi family's connections are still there!"

Mi Zhen hummed and said, "The Mi family has only declined in the past few years."

“But the channel is still there.”

"Merchants value profit. When we declined, those channels looked down on our Mi family and automatically cut off contact with us."

"But as long as our Mi family still has the ability and money, it won't be difficult to recover."

"The connections between businessmen are always cold and ruthless, rarely mixed with sincerity, and are all based on mutual exploitation."

"There is no life-or-death hatred between us."

"As long as there is interest, it can be restored at any time."

Zhang Sui said, "If I want you and take you to Yecheng, I will give you a certain official position and let you use the Mi family's connections. Do you have the ability to reconnect with the Mi family and operate the business between Hebei, Xuzhou and Huainan?"

Mi Zhen looked at Zhang Sui suspiciously.

Give yourself a job?
A businessman myself.

Still a woman!
Seeing Mi Zhen's expression, Zhang Sui laughed and said, "Do you suspect that I look down on you as a businessman or a woman?"

Mi Zhen rubbed her face with her little hands a few times to wipe away the tears, and smiled without comment.

Zhang Sui stood up from the table, put his arms around Mi Zhen's slender waist and pulled her into his arms.

Mi Zhen's pretty face turned red instantly, and she subconsciously tried to push Zhang Sui away.

Zhang Sui hugged her tighter, looked her in the eye, and whispered, "I don't care whether you are a businessman or the daughter of a rich family."

"To me now, no matter what your status is, no matter how noble or humble it is, it is not as noble as mine, and it is not as strong as mine."

"You are all mine."

"All I want is if you can do something for me."

"I only promote people based on their merits."

"Besides, you were so bold just now and kissed me, and I didn't even resist."

"If I really disliked you for being the daughter of a businessman, I would have killed you for kissing me just now, right? Instead of me still being here and talking to you slowly."

Mi Zhen was hugged tightly by Zhang Sui, and her breathing became a little rapid.

Facing Zhang Sui's fiery gaze, Mi Zhen lowered his head, his body tensed, and said in a trembling voice: "Yes, in this respect, the general is indeed different from others."

"I, I am willing to trust the general once."

"If the general is willing to believe in me, I will not let you down."

"I will. I will try my best to use this power to help my Mi family get back on its feet."

Zhang Sui watched Mi Zhen trembling as she spoke, then he bit her red lips.

He will not give up the prey that comes to his doorstep.

Unfortunately, Mrs. Du was pregnant.

And it's not easy to force Da Qiao.

Mi Zhen was kissed by Zhang Sui and her whole body became stiff.

She closed her eyes and her breathing became heavy and gasping.

Although she had thought about using her body to reach an agreement with the person in front of her before.

However, when the deal was actually reached, she still felt fear.

But Zhang Sui did not give her a chance to regret.
