Chapter 1040: Chapter 1038: Plans
Wufu actually didnāt care much about where to live; with her personality, she could live well and happily anywhere.
And now that she had taken over the forces Ah Jiu had planted here, what she had to consider was convenience. Undoubtedly, if the main force was stationed here in Changan City, then she naturally had to sit here and oversee things.
What she hadnāt expected was that in less than a year, she had already changed places several times.
"Since you want to stay here, then Huayang, Madamās side, and the businesses over there, you must come up with a plan," Purple Jade said.
Wufu rubbed the tip of her brow and looked down slightly: "What are your thoughts?"
Purple Jade paused and didnāt speak for a moment.
"Speak up, do you think Iād scold you just because you might say something wrong?" Wufu said irritably, "I donāt have many useful people around me. You two count as such, yet you want me to guess your mind? Wonāt you let me live?"
"Donāt be angry, Miss. Iāll speak," Purple Jade said, bending her knee, "Madamās side, no matter whether you plan to return to that home in the future, should first be brought over and reunited with you before discussing anything else. I believe that you canāt let this matter slip from your control. As for the businesses, I think they can be left to reliable people to oversee, and it would be fine to check the accounts once or twice a year. Especially the estate, those wonāt lose money, the land wonāt run away, and if it brings some fresh fruits for feasting, thatās nice too."
"But that Liās Clinic, Duan Rong and his wife, you definitely need to put some thought into arranging for them," she said.
Wufu pondered for a moment, "Duan Rong and his companions are already ours, and we have just assimilated them. The work theyāre undertaking is just starting, itās not suitable for them to come over here and be piled together. Since the businesses at Huayang wonāt be dealt with, let Duan Rong manage them. What Iāve instructed them will continue as planned." Compared to putting all eggs in one basket, itās more prudent to diversify investments.
"Miss, you mean to let Duan Rong oversee Huayang?" Purple Jade was surprised.
Wufu said, "Purple Jade, the people Ah Jiu gave me, I manage them, but those given by others couldnāt compare to real ones of my own. Duan Rong and his group are capable; if they can pave a path for me over there, itās worth the effort I made to integrate them."
Purple Jade was silent.
"Iām a woman too, and also selfish. The people cultivated by us are for my use alone, loyal to me. Who elseās face do I need to consider? Itās not that I distrust anyone, but rather, one must have oneās own retreat and confidence," Wufu said calmly, "Even a general has his confidant soldiers."
The future between her and Ah Jiu was still uncertain; their statuses were worlds apart.
If they really came together, she could go to great lengths for him, and her people could be loyal to him, provided Ah Jiu was good to her and didnāt let her down.
If one day he betrayed her, she would bring her people and leave without hesitation, and such a departure would require confidence.
This might be considered strategy, but even if this strategy were laid bare in front of Ah Jiu, she would still be guilt-free.
I have what you have; youāre excellent, but Iām not bad either; only by being evenly matched can we win together. If we become strangers, then just forget each other.
Regarding Wufuās thoughts, Purple Jade said nothing. A woman is naturally weaker than a man, whatās the harm in having a bit of self-interest, just planning for oneself. And done right, it could benefit future generations, even if a man changes his heart, one still has confidence!
