Chapter 88: I Was So Stupid
For the promotion of silk, the local Hanfu was the most logical choice.
Cen Shuang thought for a moment and continued, “And we don’t need to mass produce in the early stages. The production of silk and Hanfu is too complicated. We don’t have any market now. Even if we make products using low quality fabrics, we can still compete with others by offering a low price.”
Once their own goods became low-priced, they could survive in the low-price market. However, it would be very difficult for them to develop when it came to the high-end market.
Cen Zhu was stunned for a moment before she laughed. “Although I studied management, I’m not as good as you. It’s no wonder that our father hoped that you could inherit the company.”
She had always thought that if a company wanted to become bigger and stronger, it would need operations, management, and systems in place. However, she had forgotten that the company needed not only excellent managers, but a legacy too. The Cen family’s legacy was vital. She could not do it, but Cen Shuang could.
Cen Zhu said firmly, “We will make silk, and then we will market it ourselves.”
A factory that did not have any connections or sales channels? Cen Zhu could imagine how difficult their early development and sales would be. However, she had forgotten that Cen Shuang was the best designer. In the past, the Cen family could produce their own products and sell them themselves. Now, they could do the same.
After Cen Zhu finished speaking, she ran to the bathroom in discomfort. Cen Shuang was still thinking about the next factory. When she saw that Cen Zhu was not feeling well, she quickly chased after her. “Sis, you’re sick.”
After Cen Zhu finished vomiting in the bathroom, her face turned slightly pale. She walked out and forced a smile at Cen Shuang. “I’ve been too busy these few days. You don’t have to worry about me. I just don’t eat on time. I’m just too tired and haven’t been sleeping well.”
Cen Shuang helped her to the bed and said hurriedly, “Sis, what do you want to eat? I’ll cook for you.”
Cen Zhu forced a smile and said, “When have you ever cooked? There’s no need. Just order some food for me.”
Although she didn’t have much of an appetite, Cen Zhu still forced herself to eat a bowl of porridge in order to make Cen Shuang worry less.
Before she left, Cen Shuang was still worried and said, “Sister, why don’t we go to the hospital for a checkup? You don’t look too well.”
“I’m fine. I just didn’t sleep well. I want to sleep now.” Cen Zhu seemed to have thought of something, she turned around and took out a prescription from under her pillow. “Mom gave this to me before. Lu Hongyang was injured for a period of time. Mom specially asked someone to prescribe a tonic for me. She said it was a tonic for the body. You can ask Zhuang Hong to use it too. It should be good for his body.”
This was originally written for Lu Hongyang when he had injured his arm in a car accident. She had begged her mother to prescribe it for him to help with the treatment of his body. In the past, she had put in a lot of effort and treated the Lu family’s troubles as her own. She focused on them entirely. However, Lu Hongyang was seeing someone else and rarely came back. They were like strangers to each other. For so many years, she had even thought that.., perhaps he would come back to her when he was tired of playing. As long as a woman was willing to keep him, he would come back. However, she was too naive. How could a bird that had been released voluntarily return to its cage? She had been too foolish.
Cen Shuang said with concern, “I understand, sis. If you’re not feeling well, you must call me. I can come over immediately.”
Cen Shuang’s warm concern was a source of comfort for Cen Zhu. At this point, the two sisters could only rely on each other and trust each other. “You’re worrying too much. I just didn’t sleep well. Moreover, this place is very close to the hospital. By the time you rush over from the Zhuang family’s house, I’m afraid that my illness will have already recovered.”
Cen Shuang said nervously, “Why don’t I stay and accompany you tonight?”
She only had one sister in this world. She did not wish for anything to happen to Cen Zhu.
Cen Zhu shook her head and said, “If you’re here, I’m afraid that I would only want to talk to you. I would not be able to rest well. Alright, stop fooling around and quickly go back. You’re still the young madam of the Zhuang family, and you’ve taken so much allowance from the Zhuang family and passed it to me. If I steal you again, the Zhuang family will really think that the Cen family’s daughter cheated them.”
From Cen Zhu’s point of view, the marriage was already done. No matter what Cen Shuang said, she and Zhuang Hong were already considered as a real couple only in the public eye. If Cen Shuang had not joined the Zhuang family under such circumstances, her sister could live a simple and carefree life.
When Cen Shuang left, Cen Zhu was already asleep. It was late nighttime, and she was rushing back to the Zhuang family’s house. The lights in the room on the second floor were still on. She looked at the familiar window. Cen Shuang blinked. She could see a figure moving. Zhuang Hong and the Zhuang family were waiting for her to return. Cen Shuang kept wondering if she only felt gratitude toward Zhuang Hong. If she had no feelings for him, why did her heart hurt when she thought about leaving this house and divorcing Zhuang Hong? Why would she be so sad that she wanted to cry?
