CHAPTER 321: CHAPTER 322: GU WENJUAN’S LUNCH (2) [EXTRA FOR ’JENNY FENG’]

Mo Shu blinked, "Uncle, how can you say you’re helping me? It’s clearly greatly beneficial for Shalan as well."

Sha He laughed and shook his head, "Let’s hear it."

"As publicly stated, Shalan and Jijue are partners. Jijue has always been known for its luxurious quality, but despite having access to the best gemstones and craftsmen for many years, there has been no significant breakthrough in design. In many people’s eyes, Jijue has become a company that sticks to old rules, while Shalan leads in fashion and holds a significant status in the fashion industry. By merging our businesses, I can share the quality with you. Now that I have taken over Jijue, its transformation is inevitable. When my designs eventually lead the fashion trends, Shalan will naturally benefit too."

Sha He was struck by her shameless statement and then burst into hearty laughter, "This girl, I haven’t seen you in a few years and you are even more reckless than before. You, lead the fashion trends?"

Sha He shook his head, "I’m not being a discouraging uncle, but the recent ’Diamond Forest’ collection caught our eye initially, but ultimately it’s still too niche. Leading the fashion trends isn’t as simple as just talking about it."

Mo Shu smiled mischievously, "Of course I know that, which is why I am here to see you. Shalan’s reputation has been declining in recent years, mostly due to doubts about the quality of the gems. Jijue could just help resolve this. Even if Jijue doesn’t successfully transform, or if I’m so unlucky as to not lead the trends, the partnership between Shalan and Jijue would still be all profit, no loss."

Sha He nodded in agreement.

That’s indeed true.

Moreover, on further consideration, even if this situation affects Jijue somewhat, the Mo Family is wealthy enough to afford it.

In contrast, since Shalan specializes in jewelry, the benefits of collaborating with Jijue would be countless.

"Uncle, you can choose not to work with Jijue, but according to this trend, Shalan’s decline is just a matter of time."

Sha He adjusted his glasses, "Since you know this, why would you still want to cooperate with Shalan?"

Mo Shu responded, "Because I don’t want to see Shalan decline, and the Mo Family rose to prominence because of Jijue. One must not forget their origins."

"What an admirable principle of remembering one’s roots," Sha He praised, "Is this what your grandpa suggested?"

Mo Shu shook her head, "My grandpa doesn’t know I’m here, but he would surely be very pleased if he knew."

Sha He nodded, his admiration evident in his eyes, "Okay."

Mo Shu beamed with joy and quickly discussed the next steps in the solution with Sha He.

After leaving Shalan, two hours had passed.

Ji Nan mentioned on the side, "Princess, Miss Gu knows you’re back and asked if you needed lunch. I’ve already told her to prepare it."

Mo Shu then remembered this matter, frowned slightly, and said, "Let it be for now, and don’t send any to Yu Siqiao either."

Ji Nan felt a mild thrill of joy, "Yes."

The group hadn’t left Shalan yet when they ran into Sha Sha face to face.

Upon seeing Sha Sha, Ji Nan became cautious.

Her hostility towards Princess Mo was very direct, and it was hard to say if she might utter some distasteful remarks.

Sha Sha was momentarily stunned upon seeing Mo Shu and was annoyed to see her wanting to leave without acknowledging her, she called out, "Hey."

But no one paid any attention to her.
