Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Su Wenwu thought Ye Feiran was about to cry. He had no time to think before anxiously replying, “No, no, 1 also… I just don’t think it’s right.”
Ye Feiran knew he was sincere and understood his intentions. She did not expect him to like her, too. She lowered her head so Su Wenwu could not see her smile.
He did not want her to be sad, so he could only bite the bullet and say, “Feiran, we’re men.”
Ye Feiran looked up and then tiptoed to whisper, “I’m a woman, silly.” Boom!
Su Wenwu was shocked, but his eyes soon lit up. “F-Feiran, you’re…”
Ye Feiran put her finger to his lips, hushing him. “Shh!”
Su Wenwu regained his senses. Since he knew about the Ye family’s situation, he said, “Right, I can’t tell anyone. I’ll keep it a secret for you.”
Ye Feiran nodded. “1 trust you.”
Although Su Wenwu had regained his senses, his heart raced, and his mind was a mess. He looked at Ye Feiran and said thoughtfully, “I’ll ask my parents to visit your home to propose a marriage between us.”
Ye Feiran smiled when she heard that. After some thought, she said, “I’ll return home and discuss it with my parents. We might have to make it private since the rest of my family don’t know I’m a woman.”
“So what if you’re a woman? A woman can inherit the family business, too,” Su Wenwu said. His family did not favor sons over daughters. For example, the family treasured Su Binglan just as much as the Su brothers.
The family even followed Su Binglan’s lead and supported whatever she did. Ye Feiran felt touched when she heard his words—however, only a few thought like Su Wenwu. She knew the Su family was more harmonious than hers. She felt very relaxed living with the Su family.
She said, “l think I’ll start my own business after working with Binglan. Perhaps my profits will surpass my family’s. They’ll start relying on me when that happens. They can’t refute me then, even if I am a woman who became the family’s head.”
“I’ll support you,” Su Wenwu said firmly, “If they still refuse to accept you, you and your parents can leave the family and start a new one.”
Ye Feiran was shocked, but her heart pounded just thinking about it. She had never considered rebuilding the Ye family, but now she could because she had cooperated with Su Binglan.
Ye Feiran could see how capable Su Binglan was.
After signing the agreement and leaving home for a while, Su Binglan looked at the time and realized it was not yet lunchtime. She went to a small courtyard at home where the family would not go unless they needed something.
She clapped toward the sky, and six shadowy figures landed in the courtyard. Luo Jin’an had left these men for her. These men were loyalists to the Wei family and belonged exclusively to Luo Jin’an.
He rarely used these Sacrificials, not to mention he had six of them. Thus, Su
Binglan would not waste their talents. Instead, she wanted to train the six Sacrificials as her assistants and make them all-rounded talents.
“Reporting for duty, Master.”
Although they worked for Luo Jin’an, he had told them to follow Su Binglan’s orders as she would be their new master. Luo Jin’an had suddenly transferred these Sacrificials to Su Teng Village, so they knew little about Su Binglan.
However, they had observed and listened to the villagers’ conversations over the past few days and gained some understanding of their new master.
Although they were shocked at Luo Jin’an’s sudden decision, they had to obey Su Binglan’s orders without question.
Su Binglan looked at the Sacrificials and said, “I’ll be your master now, but I’ll have to change your names. I will change Wei Yi’s name to Su Yi and Wei Er r s name to Su Er.”
“Yes, Master.”
“Let’s go inside for a meeting.” Su Binglan said nothing more and led them into a room. She wanted them to introduce themselves and tell her about their talents. In other words, it was an interview.
Through the interview, Su Binglan understood the Sacrificials better. After getting to know them, she could train them accordingly. Fortunately, all six members could read, making it much easier for her to teach them about Arabic numbers and management skills.
She intended to teach them such things before Su Xueye completed the factories and shops on the upcoming commercial street. However, the Sacrificials were puzzled, wondering why she taught them about accounting and management.
Su Binglan noticed their doubts, saying, “l don’t keep useless people around, only all-rounded talents. After completing your studies, you will all be my special assistants.
“You will help me take charge of Chu Country’s and the entire continent’s market.’
Su Binglan also intended to start businesses all over Chu Country and other countries. Thus, she had to nurture her talents gradually.
Her ambitious words shocked the Sacrificials. Still, they knew she was serious about it when they noticed the light in her eyes.
Although they knew nothing about Arabic numbers, they quickly realized how quickly they could calculate things when she taught them about it.
“l will also teach you how to measure and draw maps. You will need to use this knowledge in future battles, too.” Su Binglan wanted to nurture as many talents as possible.
To do that, she would first teach the six Sacrificials, and then they spread her lessons. Su Binglan wanted a group of elite that would assist her in her future ventures..
