"It's said that those who love what they do tend to do it better. Miss Zhuang, you've managed to make your shop and several workshops so profitable. I'm guessing that's because you enjoy doing it," Chu Jinnian said with a slight nod.
"Indeed." Zhuang Qingning agreed without hesitation.
Of course, another reason is that poverty and debt have made her diligent and capable.
"Master Chu, are you asking because, like others, you believe businessmen to be tainted by profit?"
"Not at all." Chu Jinnian shook his head, "On the contrary, I think that businessmen are essential."
"Though some businessmen are ruthlessly opportunistic, driven only by their own profit, they also move goods from one place to another, facilitating circulation and turnover everywhere because of the profit that can be made."
"From horses and iron ware to oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar, it's all because of this that the common people can earn silver coins, ensure their livelihood, and continue to thrive."
