Butler Chen instinctively grasped Su Bin’s underlying message.

“So, you’re seeking financial support for your business endeavors?” he inquired. As for the nature of Su Bin’s intended business, Butler Chen had already deduced it.

Qin Zhenzhen, a descendant of the esteemed Jiang family, had successfully established a seasoning workshop and a soy sauce production facility, both thriving in the market. It was evident that she harbored ambitions to expand her entrepreneurial ventures.

In a year or two, when their businesses were flouris.h.i.+ng, and Su Bin happened to ascend the ranks of the Golden List, he would return to the Marquis Mansion to a.s.sert his family ties and gain the respect he deserved. No young master in the capital would dare to underestimate them then.

However, Su Bin’s response was a knowing smile. “Well, the Marquis Mansion isn’t the sole source of my financial aspirations for business. My uncle, Lin Nan, from my father’s maternal family has expressed interest in a business partners.h.i.+p. We won’t need to invest our own capital.”

Butler Chen comprehended the situation entirely.

He respectfully bowed to Su Bin. “I will promptly convey this information to the Marquis Mansion.”

As expected, he wasted no time and promptly departed in a carriage bound for the capital.

Qin Zhenzhen couldn’t help but smile. “You truly are resourceful.”

It appeared that Su Bin was well on his way to securing the necessary funds.

Su Bin explained, “Initially, I was hesitant to resort to this method, but upon careful consideration, we already have a claim on the Marquis Mansion’s resources. It would be imprudent not to leverage that advantage.”

Qin Zhenzhen began discussing the terms of their potential collaboration. “If you manage to secure the funding, what kind of partners.h.i.+p arrangement do you have in mind?”

Lin Nan had offered her a 30% to 70% split. In the event of losses, she would not bear the burden. She wondered what type of agreement Su Bin, the money-savvy individual, would propose.

Could Su Bin possibly be more of a profiteer than Lin Nan?

However, Qin Zhenzhen was taken aback when Su Bin looked directly at her and made an unexpected proposal. “I’ll give you all my earnings. You just need to return the capital to me. I’ll repay it to the Marquis Mansion.”

He had never contemplated returning to the Marquis Mansion to a.s.sert his family ties.

Qin Zhenzhen was incredulous. “Give it all to me? That’s impossible. Are you joking?”

Su Bin’s eyes held a complex mixture of emotions as he replied softly, “Nothing is impossible. I’m willing to entrust it all to you, just as long as you’re willing to support me whenever I need it.”

With those words, he turned and departed, leaving Qin Zhenzhen in a state of bewilderment.

She couldn’t fathom Su Bin’s intentions. Initially, she had intended to earn his favor to prevent him from wreaking havoc on her family once he gained power in the future. She had envisioned using the influential backing behind him to deal with the Jiang family.

She had shared these thoughts with him previously, driven by a specific motive.

However, his recent expression suggested that he may have misunderstood her intentions. Did he believe that she genuinely cared for him to the extent of risking her life to a.s.sist him? This realization left her somewhat moved. Was he trying to reciprocate her feelings in calling her his wife?

The journey from the prefecture to the capital typically took about three days.

On the seventh day, Butler Chen hastened from the capital to the prefecture and handed Su Bin a substantial sum of 50,000 liang.

Qin Zhenzhen quickly calculated, realizing that this amounted to an astonis.h.i.+ng 15 million if each liang could purchase 50 kilograms of rice. The Marquis Mansion indeed possessed deep pockets, generously providing such a substantial sum at once.

Butler Chen told Su Bin, “I’ll pa.s.s Young Master’s words to the Marquis. The Marquis was so touched that he cried and agreed to Young Master’s request on the spot.’

“Apart from these checks, the Marquis also asked me to come and help Young Master.”

Qin Zhenzhen was quite happy. She indeed needed someone like Butler Chen.

But she didn’t forget that Butler Chen’s term was coming to an end.

Thinking of this, she felt a little regretful..
