Chapter 233: The former East Palace 2
When people lack the ability, women are the easiest way to make mistakes. This is what is meant by "lust can blind one's mind"!
At that time, it was puzzling that the Sixth Prince chose the girl from the Fan family. The Yue family could not help but also suffered implicated. However, in the long run, this was not entirely true.
For an outstanding woman, her background is directly proportional to her own excellence!
Therefore, at that time, he had no objection to him marrying only Fan Haihua! Moreover, the behavior of the Fan family did not affect them in the slightest. Song Min believed in Fan Haihua's character. A family that could cultivate such a person, although they had a rather bad temper, was definitely a unique force in the face of major issues!
Even Guo Huai praised Song Min for betting on the right horse.
In the end, the Fourth Prince abandoned Guo Huai and ended up with a tragic end. He was persuaded by Song Min to join his camp, and was willing to give up his position as the King's daughter and be his supporting role!
Guo Huai also learned from his mistakes and joined hands with Song Min to form the "Two Wonders of the East Palace". "Wonderful" means a genius or a strange person. The way the two people get along is strange, their fighting is strange, and their feelings are also strange!
Before he arrived at Guo Huai's mansion, he met this old friend.
"Old Song! I heard you've been acting a little strange these past two days. Is there something good going on? If you didn't tell me about it, are we still friends?"
Guo Huai is older than Song Min, but he is more rigorous by nature. He uses both soft and hard methods to do things and is a powerful character. The reason why Song Min chose the Sixth Prince was because he was gentler by nature, but he also knew that if the Sixth Prince reached the top, his methods would be too mild, and more often than not, he would need someone like Guo Huai to neutralize them.
Song Min grabbed him, with an undisguised look of pride and boasting on her face.
"Oh! I was just about to look for you! You're so well-informed! Hey, hey, I have something good to share with you! Come on, let's go to your house for a drink. Today I'm going to take out the little peach red you've treasured for five years! Otherwise, I won't tell you!"
Guo Huai was shocked. "You're still Xiao Taohong! Look how cocky you are! Then let's go! It's not like I can't bear to leave!"
He still has ten jars anyway! It's just one jar, what's the big deal?
At Guo's house, two good friends sat opposite each other and drank. After two glasses of wine, Song Min's face turned slightly red. He was not good at drinking. But Guo Huai had a changeable expression.
"By the way, what have you been busy with these past two days? I went to your house twice and didn't see you! Where have you been hiding?"
Song Min chuckled, "I didn't go anywhere. I was just hiding in the study! I told the concierge to tell anyone who came that I was not here."
"Hey! You old bastard!" Guo Huai glared and pointed at the smug-looking man in front of him. "The cat is in seclusion in the study! He didn't even see me. Tell me, what results did you get from your seclusion in the study?"
"I heard you were going to move on from that shop on the crossroads you bought! Are you still planning on sticking with your old business? That shop has a great location, and it's going to make a ton of money!"
Song Min took a sip from her wine glass. "That's right! It's that shop. We'll build a business district at Cross Street with it as the center!"
He deliberately emphasized the tone and placed great emphasis on the word "business district".
"Business district?"
How could Guo Huai not understand him? These two words successfully attracted his attention. He repeated these two words, and the more he read them, the more interesting they became. He couldn't wait to urge Song Min to continue.
"Expand and tell me!"
Song Min then added his own understanding to the business circle theory he heard from Lin Yue and elaborated on it in detail.
As Guo Huai listened, he stood up excitedly and paced back and forth in the room, obviously lost in thought.
Song Min drank another glass, feeling cheerful. He took the initiative and took out the layout map of the capital from the bookshelf and spread it on the table.
"Look here! Here! And here! Can they all be renovated?"
"This place is already extremely inconvenient, being outside the capital, but the surrounding environment is fantastic! While there are some small shops, as far as I know, they're still far from enough to meet the needs of the students! We could redevelop this area and turn it into a cultural and commercial district centered around the academy. What do you think?"
The place Song Min was talking about was Xiaoming Mountain, five miles outside the capital. Xiaoming Mountain is not high, just a small earthen slope, but the surrounding environment is good, surrounded by flowing water, shady trees, and mountain flowers blooming all year round. Therefore, a college was built here, named "Luming Academy", but because it was outside the city, it was not taken seriously and has always been mediocre.
In the eyes of the two, it was really a pity.
"Those things you mentioned are all external factors. To truly make Luming Academy popular, you can't rely solely on those things. The most important thing is whether there are great people to lead the way! If there are no great people to attract people to lead the way, even if you build a golden circle around it, you won't be able to attract the golden phoenix!"
"So, that's why! Didn't I come to you? Let's discuss this grand plan of development and have a plan in mind first! Our new emperor is a benevolent ruler who values both civil and military affairs. He cares about the people's livelihood and wants to recruit talented people to do something grand! We've been waiting for so many years, isn't this the day we've been waiting for?"
Song Min's words were very true. When the old emperor was in power, he suppressed military generals. Although literati were given important positions, there were no particularly outstanding talents. Even if there were, everything was done in a stable and stable manner, and most of the time, the court was plagued by problems and it was time to inject some fresh blood and innovate.
No matter what aspect, having a clue and direction still requires a breakthrough. Aren't these two people looking for a breakthrough all day long? Now might be an opportunity.
"You don't know yet, do you? This shop was jointly established by the Empress and the Princess of the Southwest. It's different from all previous business models. It's centered around service design and provides one-stop service. The things involved behind it are not simple!"
Song Min said, pouring another glass of wine, "Hey! I say, have a drink! Don't always frown and think, drink while thinking, it will be more energetic! I'm thirsty!"
"I see you're craving for wine. Drink less, or you'll miss out on important things!"
Guo Huai drank a glass with him, his face began to heat up slightly, and a flame in his heart also started. He waved at Song Min exaggeratedly, "Keep talking, don't stop!"
"Just looking at the design department, there are makeup design, fashion design, and jewelry design. Just think about it, if these people can train a group of people, then we can open branches! The important thing is, once this model is recognized, cultivating relevant talents will be the top priority!"
"You know that our Empress is very ambitious! She is not someone who only cares about maintaining her position and consolidating her harem. With her leading the way, women across the world will have a new path forward, one that will not lag behind the men's path to the imperial examinations!"
As soon as Song Min mentioned this, Guo Huai could no longer sit still. He walked faster and faster, pacing back and forth in the room.
They are neither stubborn nor pedantic, and they do not believe that men in the world should be noble first. Otherwise, they would not have caught the eyes of Gao Changjun and Fan Haihua back then.
As the saying goes, a mountain stream meets a soulmate, and a Bole meets a thousand-mile horse. If even one link is missing, the whole thing will fail!
