Chapter 222: The Desire to Go South

Zhu Haodong waited in the outer room. The two of them walked out of the room one after the other and went straight to Zhu's second uncle's study.

The study had always been a place for discussing serious matters. In some families, women were strictly forbidden from entering. Being treated so well by her second uncle, Hua Zhi felt a sense of relief.

She wasn't a feminist, but the way this era belittled women was sometimes unbearable. Fortunately, the Hua family was not like that, and the Zhu family seemed to be quite good as well, at least from what she had seen so far, they had given her enough respect.

After a servant brought in some tea, Zhu Haodong dismissed all the servants.

"Has the matter with the Yang family been resolved?"

Hua Zhi smiled, "Second Uncle doesn't seem surprised."

"I have some understanding of Yang Qi. If he hadn't been beaten and forced to write a divorce letter, he wouldn't have made such a fuss just for the sake of his own face."

"But no one believed him."

Yes, no one believed him. Even Zhu Haodong himself had thought that perhaps Zhi'er had used some trick to get the divorce letter, and because he had suffered a loss, Yang Qi was so eager to slander Zhi'er. Because of this, the younger generation of the Zhu family had already fought with the Yang family several times, and there had been no shortage of overt confrontations between the older ones.

Unexpectedly, everything Yang Qi said was true. This niece of his really dared to do anything, she was so bold that he even wanted to send the Zhu family's daughters to the Hua family to be raised, and let Zhi'er take them in, he wondered if they could learn even thirty percent of her ability.

Zhu Haodong then talked about the progress of the soap workshop, "Half of the people are from our Zhu family, and the other half are from the Zhou family. The capital is the same. Other matters are arranged as you said. If you have time, why don't you come with me to take a look?"

"I won't go. I won't get involved in this business, and whatever happens depends on your ability, Second Uncle."

Zhu Haodong was not surprised. His niece's courage in this area even made the old man give her a thumbs up. Thinking of the situation at home, Zhu Haodong's heart sank slightly. His father wanted to treat everyone fairly, but how could that be possible?

One was in politics and the other was in business, and business was naturally inferior. If it were in the past, he would definitely not agree to let this business, which he had started himself, be returned to the family public fund. But when he learned from Zhi'er that all the businesses in her hands were returned to the family public fund, he gave up those thoughts.

He couldn't compare with Zhi'er, but as an elder, he didn't want to be too far behind. As long as his elder brother didn't have any other thoughts, he would return it to the family public fund. After all, the formula was in his hands.

Putting aside these messy thoughts, Zhu Haodong humbly asked his niece for advice. He could see that his niece had some really good ideas and thoughts, but there were too many problems in the implementation. He was not afraid of losing face, so he brought them up one by one and asked for advice.

Hua Zhi did not hold back and explained in as much detail as possible, and for those that really could not be implemented, she replaced them with other methods from this world. The two of them talked and forgot about the time, and only realized that their mouths were dry and the tea in their cups had long been empty when someone knocked on the door of the study.
