"You'll handle it? How exactly are you going to do it?"
Charles was so angry that his heart ached.
Shaking his head he said, "It's not that I don't believe in you, North, but you're still young.You don't understand the twists and turns of the business yet."
More than anger, he was also afraid that his daughter would do something to offend the Pharmacy and the Treasure Pavilion because of her recklessness.
He could afford to make another mistake.
His health was not in very good shape, and his pills could only do so much.
If things would turn for the worse, he would truly have no place to cry.
"No, Dad, you don't trust me!" North snorted coldly.
"I am your only child, so I'm the only one eligible to inherit the family business.I will be leading it one day anyway, so why don't you just hand it to me now?"
Charles didn't know what to respond to that.
His eyes flickered, and heaving out a deep sigh, he changed the topic.
"And how do you plan to handle it? Let me remind you that we can't afford to offend the Pharmacy, as well as Treasure Storage Pavilion!"
"Who said that we can't buy in their stores because we can't afford to offend them?"
"Didn't that woman insist on having those two mountains? If there are jade veins on that one mountain, there must be some on the other.I plan to find an opportunity for us to investigate” North said convincingly.
"How?"
"We'll pay some people to fetch inside information for us.Now that the mountain is being dug up, they will surely investigate the other one to see if there are jade veins in there too.As long as we bribe someone to ask, they will give us the information we need’’ Charles's eyes instantly lit up.
‘’Right” he thought.
‘‘If we can think of a way to buy the other mountain back, it would give us a fortune”
The idea was pleasing, but there was another problem.
"But how will you make that young lady of the Medicinal House sell the mountain back without suspecting us?"
"I have a plan, Dad? “ North said confidently.
"Consider it done"
After thinking for a while, Charles had no choice but to concede to his daughter.
"Alright, you can go ahead and do it.It was all a gamble.If it would work out, it wouldn't be a huge loss.At most, he would only lose the jade vein if his daughter's plan wouldn't work out.
