Chapter 612 - 612: Allusion

Qin Zhenzhen chuckled, “Money truly wields incredible influence!”

She had always understood the power that wealth held.

Realizing he couldn’t ascend to high political ranks, Su Bin cleverly focused on accumulating wealth. However, making money required strategy, and Su Bin’s strategic mind complemented Qin Zhenzhen’s lack of scheming and courage.

While seeking favors from the Public House was akin to asking a tiger for its skin, Su Bin navigated it skillfully.

“You’re truly audacious,” Qin Zhenzhen remarked.

Su Bin smiled, “Know yourself and your enemy, and you will win every battle.”

“All thanks to the intelligence from the Dragon Phoenix Hall. If the Public House aims to change dynasties and govern the world, they’ll undoubtedly require significant funds. My wife’s proficiency in wealth accumulation is evident to all and irreplaceable.”

“It’s only natural for the Public House to choose us. I am confident in making this request now. Moreover, it will help alleviate the Public House’s suspicion of us.’

“We must maintain the appearance of ordinary individuals. People perish for wealth, and birds fall for food.’

This approach would prevent the Public House from suspecting any alliance with the Third Prince.

Qin Zhenzhen responded earnestly, “In this world, everyone loves money.

Besides, we don’t aspire to be saints.”

Marking all businesses under her name with a distinctive logo would provide an additional layer of protection.

This could be deemed the ancient equivalent of a name tag.

It was indeed a name tag.

Qin Zhenzhen was well aware of the lucrative prospects associated with wearing such a logo.

Su Bin couldn’t help but feel a bit proud.

“Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the new emperor will undoubtedly dispatch representatives.”

“Just like the Public House, they are in need of significant funds.”

Qin Zhenzhen had pondered this as well. “Are you considering agreeing to them as well?”

Su Bin nodded. “Whether it’s the new emperor or the Empress Dowager, we have no other option but to agree.”

Refusing would undoubtedly pose risks. While the new emperor’s foundation was currently shaky, the Public House could potentially suppress him. However, the Empress Dowager wielded substantial influence.

It wasn’t particularly alarming to incur the new emperor’s displeasure, but crossing the Empress Dowager could lead to catastrophic consequences. The Public House could manipulate the new emperor, but the Empress Dowager and others were beyond their control.

Although Su Bin had devised a contingency plan, he preferred not to sever ties with the royal family unless absolutely necessary.

Su Bin elucidated his reasoning to Qin Zhenzhen.

“If the new emperor and others follow the Public House’s example and covet our wealth, we’ll make a similar request.”

“Moreover, I will inform the Public House of this development, signaling our inevitable compliance with the new emperor. This way, we won’t expose ourselves, and it will also mitigate the Public House’s suspicions against us—a double benefit.

“I’ll handle them appropriately based on the intelligence gathered by the

Dragon Phoenix Hall.”

“With my strategic acumen, I won’t make any missteps.”

Qin Zhenzhen chuckled. “I understand! It’s called building a bridge openly and secretly constructing a warehouse.”

Cloaking their actions as a means of generating wealth for both the Public House and the new emperor, they conveniently opened doors. In reality, these maneuvers served as covert support for the Third Prince.

Su Bin quickly grasped the essence. “Carrying out actions both overtly and covertly?”

“Wife, is this another reference from that book?”

Qin Zhenzhen smiled and elucidated, “This originates from stage lyrics.”

She felt compelled to share this story with Su Bin..
