CHAPTER 833: CHAPTER 222: I, SHEN WANSAN, CONCEDE_2

Su Yunjin said, "How can that be, husband, don’t overthink. I just remembered some of the students’ assignments today that I haven’t graded yet, and also some work reports from our schoolmaster that I need to read, so I left. Husband, don’t overthink."

"Is that so?"

Chen Jie looked at Su Yunjin and asked, Su Yunjin said, "Otherwise, husband, wouldn’t you think I’m jealous of Sister Huang?"

Chen Jie said, "Not jealous?"

"No..."

Su Yunjin opened her mouth to say she wasn’t jealous, but after looking into Chen Jie’s eyes, she thought for a moment and said, "Husband, to say there’s no jealousy at all is impossible. But husband, I understand you and can accept it. Besides, it was I who invited Sister Huang back, I was prepared for this, and Sister Huang is really nice, you must treat her well."

Hearing Su Yunjin’s words, Chen Jie couldn’t help but hold her lovingly in his arms.

Su Yunjin was right; if you truly love someone, how could you be willing to share them with others?

No matter how good a person is, she would have a little selfishness, so it’s understandable that Su Yunjin is jealous of Chen Jie. However, his little young lady is good enough that even so, she still thinks about treating Huang Wan’er well.

And although Huang Wan’er is sharp-tongued, she respects Su Yunjin very much.

Chen Jie actually cares a lot about the state of these two women. Most of the servants in the mansion are Chen Jie’s informants, and he can get very accurate feedback on how the two comport themselves.

Moreover, Chen Jie also knows about the maids under both sides not getting along with each other.

In such a large mansion, it’s impossible for everyone to be in perfect harmony. Additionally, the maids of both sides are only trying to protect their mistresses without resorting to extreme measures, so Chen Jie chooses to turn a blind eye.

Too pure water has no fish; a person who scrutinizes too much has no disciples.

Tap tap tap...

While Chen Jie was tenderly spending time with Su Yunjin, suddenly footsteps sounded, and a guard came into the garden and saw the scene, stopping in his tracks.

Cuiju and Yin Hongmei nearby said, "Wait, the master and mistress are..."

"Understood."

Upon hearing this, the guard immediately responded, but Su Yunjin saw this and said to Chen Jie, "Husband, proper business."

Chen Jie said, "No rush, let’s embrace a little longer."

At this point, Su Yunjin pushed Chen Jie away and said, "Husband, proper business is important."

Looking at Su Yunjin’s earnest expression, Chen Jie couldn’t help but sigh; having such a wise helper made it impossible for him to indulge in leisure like an emperor who neglects morning court.

Chen Jie said, "Okay, then wife, I will go see what’s the matter."

Su Yunjin said, "Okay, I’ll wait for husband to have dinner."

After saying this, she called Yin Hongmei and Cuiju to leave, while Chen Jie summoned the guard over and asked, "What’s the matter?"

"To report to the gang leader, a merchant from the Suzhou Chamber of Commerce wishes to see you. He claims to be the Vice President of the Suzhou Chamber of Commerce, Shen Wansan."

Shen Wansan?!!

Upon hearing this name, Chen Jie was somewhat startled. This is a very famous person in history.

The number one wealthy man in the late Yuan and early Ming, praised by generations, and the subject of numerous dramas. There’s even a legend that when Zhu Yuanzhang was constructing the Nanjing City Wall, he ran out of money, and it was Shen Wansan who funded half of the construction.

What wealth this is, to be comparable to a nation on one’s own, isn’t that wealth beyond measure?

This person is definitely a business genius, but unexpectedly, he was roped in today. It’s good; let’s see what kind of person this future God of Wealth really is.

Chen Jie said, "Please!"

Upon hearing this, the boy immediately responded, "Understood."

Following that, the boy hurriedly left, and Chen Jie glanced at the garden, seeing a pavilion where he went to sit.

At this point, Cuiju came over, serving Chen Jie with a pot of tea and several plates of pastries.

"The lady asked me to bring these."

Cuiju curtsied gracefully, and Chen Jie nodded lightly, feeling that his own wife truly understood him.

Soon, Shen Wansan and his attendant Chang arrived, and Chang looked around the courtyard with a habitual look in his eyes, finding it quite ordinary, not comparable to their own courtyard.

This was indeed true, as Shen Wansan lived in Suzhou, known for its beautiful gardens, their home being quite exquisite.

Although Chen Jie’s place also looked luxurious, it still paled in comparison with such a renowned location.

Shen Wansan coughed lightly and said, "Mind your manners."

Soon the guard led Shen Wansan into the pavilion.

"Gang Leader, Mr. Shen from the Suzhou Chamber of Commerce is here."

Chen Jie turned his head and saw a slightly older-looking youth, appearing to be about twenty-five or twenty-six.

Chen Jie stood up and smiled, "Mr. Shen."

Shen Wansan also scrutinized Chen Jie, noticing that he appeared scarcely older than a young adult, but recalling his methods utilized in Mianshui, he felt a chill, realizing this person had exceptionally high means, unmatched by ordinary individuals.

Such a young age yet possessing skills like deities, truly a person cannot be judged by appearance, nor the sea measured by a bushel.

With this thought, Shen Wansan clasped his fist and said, "Greetings, Guild Leader Chen."

Chen Jie gestured with his hand, "Sit down and let’s talk."

Upon hearing this, Shen Wansan looked at Chen Jie and said, "Guild Leader Chen is courteous."

The two sat opposite each other, and Chen Jie poured Shen Wansan a cup of tea, saying, "When did Mr. Shen come to Mianshui? I haven’t fulfilled my duty as a host, truly ashamed, ashamed."

Shen Wansan glanced at the tea in front of him, tapping three times lightly on the table with his fingers.

He looked up, locked eyes with Chen Jie, and said, "Haha, whoever said Guild Leader Chen did not fulfill the host’s duties? I have received a great gift from Guild Leader Chen."
