Yao Xinzhu was confident that this matter was not a problem for her at all. Given her relationship with Gu Xu, she was sure that Gu Xu would agree without hesitation.
But after returning to the Imperial Capital, she went to Shengtang to talk with Gu Xu several times. Gu Xu remained aloof and businesslike, completely unyielding. This made Yao Xinzhu very frustrated, so she decided to take a roundabout approach. She contacted her distant Liu family relative, Liu Manshu, and asked her for help in getting closer to Mrs. Gu.
Unfortunately, Yao Xinzhu's plan was destined to fail. Not only did Gu Xu not give her any face, but Mrs. Gu also seemed unimpressed. Now, Huo Sining had given her such bad news.
If everyone fell into a raw material crisis, even if Shengtang canceled its current cooperation with Samra, they wouldn't find another suitable partner. Ultimately, they would have to compromise and give Samra a chance to reconcile.
