I’m somewhat envious,” Jadeite laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wufu slightly opened her eyes and said, “Oh? So, Jadeite wants power, and you’ll manage all matters below?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, I’d be worked to death!” Jadeite quickly waved her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasn’t Purple Jade; she wasn’t really interested in business matters. If Wufu truly pressed everything onto her, being exhausted was one thing, but as a servant, that was her fate. What she feared most was incompetence, making a mess of things, and instead of helping, causing more trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wufu chuckled softly and sighed, “We don’t have enough people to rely on. Those who can be cultivated should be cultivated. It’s merely a Rouge Pavilion. If she does well, it’s more income. Why not? Managing subordinates is all about trusting them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Lady’s open-mindedness is admirable!” Jadeite said earnestly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wufu said, “I’m not afraid of betrayal as long as she has the skills and courage. What I fear most is not trusting anyone at all. If so, what’s the point of living? If I’m incompetent and am betrayed, then I deserve it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I will never betray the Lady,” Jadeite hurried to profess her loyalty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wufu smiled, “Hmm, serve me well, and I’ll find you an Ideal Gentleman in the future.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jadeite gave her a side glance and changed the topic, “I do hope Sister Zi Yu returns soon!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who doesn’t?” Wufu also sighed; Purple Jade was as good as ten men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Returning home, the steward came to report that someone had left a card wishing to meet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wufu took it and twitched her lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who is it, my Lady?” Jadeite was curious about her expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wufu handed the card over, “With such a big skull drawn on it, who do you think it is?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jadeite took a look, indeed there was a skull drawn on the card. It meant that the person who sent the card was Thirteenth Lady Xiao of the Skull Gang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lady, should I make the arrangements?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wufu nodded, “You go ahead.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as negotiations with Thirteenth Lady Xiao were successful, the sea transport project could officially begin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Wufu anticipated the negotiations wouldn’t be smooth, but she didn’t expect it to be this difficult; Thirteenth Lady Xiao wanted a thirty percent stake?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the spacious Floral Hall, Wufu still smiled, and Thirteenth Lady Xiao also smiled, but the attendants in the Floral Hall sensed a subtle tension in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thirteenth Lady Xiao, I admire your bravery as a woman and genuinely wish to cooperate with you. But it’s clear Thirteenth Lady doesn’t share the same sentiment,” Wufu chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How could that be? My presence here naturally indicates a desire to collaborate with Lady Wu,” Thirteenth Lady Xiao said with a faint smile, “But you understand, people like us live with our lives at stake, so we must secure the livelihood of our families.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thirteenth Lady, our sea transport venture is legitimate business; other matters need not concern you. It’s just a matter of escorting one or two voyages,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But even then, it comes with risks, doesn’t it? This escorting carries its own dangers, for the vast sea contains more than just our Skull Gang.” Thirteenth Lady Xiao said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ten percent is the maximum we can offer. Thirteenth Lady, I only get twenty percent myself,” Wufu said, “As you mentioned, the entire sea isn’t owned solely by your Skull Gang; there’s also the Shark Gang, the Iron Head Gang…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thirteenth Lady Xiao furrowed her brows, understanding Wufu’s implication that there were other parties they could collaborate with.\u003C\u002Fp>",624,"2026-06-05T19:25:34.454Z",1,"novelbin.me","db31b7249c581d7d050665cc60dc503639edfd0030aa782f826dca3ad06c20ea","doted-by-the-regent-king-chapter-1081","doted-by-the-regent-king-chapter-1079",1685,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdoted-by-the-regent-king-cover.jpg"]
