77 I Don’t Want To Owe Favors
But… She did not want to owe Chen Mo a favor. Just as she was about to reject him, Chen Mo said, “You don’t have to feel any burden. I’ll charge you for it. I’ll pay you once a year. The current rate is 100 yuan a year.
Xia Wan heaved a sigh of relief when she heard the price. 100 yuan was a small amount. If she were to do business, she would be able to earn it back very quickly. She looked at Chen Mo in disbelief. “Is it really that cheap?”
Chen Mo shrugged his shoulders. “Not really. Actually, it depends on the level. The one I gave you is the lowest level, so it only needs 101 years. If it’s a special one, it’ll cost a few thousand yuan a year. Even special items will cost more than 10000 yuan a year.”
Seeing how serious Chen Mo was, Xia Wan took the key. Chen Mo actually brought a pen and paper with him and wrote down the address for Xia Wan.
Perhaps it was because she had received the key from Chen Mo that Xia Wan’s attitude towards him softened a little. Chen Mo noticed this subtle change and asked, “What kind of business are you planning to do?”
“I’ll just sell some clothes. It’s cheap and easy to profit,” Xia Wan said.
Chen Mo nodded. “Yes, I believe in your judgment. You’ll definitely sell well. How about this? When you earn more money in the future, you’ll be my business partner. What do you think?”
Xia Wan immediately refused. “No.”
Chen Mo was a little surprised. He asked subconsciously, “Why? don’t you trust my investment vision?”
Xia Wan pursed her lips. How could she not believe in Chen Mo’s investment vision? His vision had always been good. It was all thanks to his investment that the Chen family would develop such a large business in the future.
However, she did not want to have anything to do with him right now. If she became his business partner, she would probably be inseparable from him for the rest of her life.
Seeing that Xia Wan was unwilling to explain, Chen Mo didn’t push it further. Instead, he said, “Let me know if you plan to open a clothing store in the city. I have a friend who has a good position and can give you a discount. Don’t think that you’re using my favor. You saved me, so it’s only right that I repay you.”
Since Chen Mo had put it this way, Xia Wan could only nod in agreement.
On the other side, Xia Chen stared at the two of them. He gritted his teeth and asked Xu Ye, “What are they talking about? Why are they talking for so long? And how did you get to know Xia Wan?”
Xu Ye now knew that Xia Chen was Xia Wan’s brother, and he was very friendly to him. He explained enthusiastically, “Brother, don’t think too much. Xia Wan saved Chen Mo’s life. Also, my family’s cannery was in danger. Xia Wan happened to hear about it and gave me an idea. I thought it was great, and the cannery was eventually saved. We’re all grateful to Xia Wan.”
He wanted to say that his brother, Chen Mo, was interested in Xia Wan, but how could he say that in front of her brother? Of course not. If he said it stupidly, Xia Chen would definitely be on guard when he saw them again.
Xia Chen was surprised. “When did Xia Wan save that person? When did she give you the idea?”
“You’ll have to ask Xia Wan about that,” Xu Ye said tactfully. “There are some details I’m not sure about. As for the cannery, we just happened to bump into each other while eating at a small shop.”
Xia Chen was about to ask more when he saw Xia Wan and Chen Mo coming over.
“Brother, let’s go home,” Xia Wan said.
“Okay,” Xia Chen replied. The two of them walked directly to the bus stop.
Xu Ye placed his arm on Chen Mo’s shoulder and asked with a smile, “How was it? Did you manage to flirt with her?”
Chen Mo glared at him coldly and said, “I’ve already told you that she’s not an ordinary girl. Don’t put her in the same category as those typical girls of yours.”
At the sight of his seriousness, Xu Ye’s expression became more restrained. “Brother, are you really in love with her and want to marry her?”
Chen Mo did not say anything. Xu Ye continued, “It’s not that I don’t think highly of you guys, but Xia Wan is a pretty and outstanding girl. To be honest, if you dress up a little, you’ll be able to look good even if you attend big banquets.
“But your family background is too different from Xia Wan’s. Your family won’t agree to it. Besides, her family background is simple. If you marry her, she’ll be marrying into a rich family. She’ll have to face all kinds of conflict. Are you sure she’ll be happy?”
