“Ten billion?”
“Yes.”
“Do you, by any chance, have a debt?”
“No.”
“Then is your hobby gambling?”
“Not at all.”
Why on earth would this woman need such a large sum of money?
It was an absurd amount for Rosé, who had no title, to repay.
‘Is she planning to scheme to serve by my side forever if she can’t repay the money?’
It seemed like an intention not to let go of the relationship with herself for a lifetime.
Rosé, somewhat dumbfounded at the reaction of Archduke Artyom, scratched her innocent cheek.
In fact, the money she really wanted was not ten billion.
This money was a ‘fake’ for negotiation.
First, call it big, and then adjust the amount lower and lower. It was a strategy to eventually be able to borrow the amount she wanted.
The amount she really wanted was ‘3 billion less’.
The method of raising the baseline to make 3 billion feel relatively cheap.
If you ask for 3 billion less from the beginning, you may be refused, but if you call 10 billion at first and gradually lower it, you can make a pleasant deal.
‘Asking for 3 billion less from the start may feel too big.’
Soon, Archduke Artyom will express his intention to refuse. Saying that ten billion is too much.
“Ten billion.”
The Archduke’s voice rang out quietly. Rosé steeled herself for negotiation and looked at him.
One, Archduke Artyom showed a completely different reaction than she had expected.
“That’s right.”
“Yes, I thought it was an excessive amount too… what?!”
Rosé doubted her own ears.
‘Did, did Archduke Artyom just accept my proposal?’
It was hard to believe even after hearing it.
It wasn’t 100 million, or 1 billion, but a whopping 10 billion less.
But he said he would lend that large sum of money to Rosé without asking any conditions.
“Are you, are you saying you’re going to lend me ten billion?”
Rosé’s astonished voice came out. She couldn’t hide her surprise, with eyes that looked like they were about to pop out any moment.
“Didn’t you just ask to borrow?”
“But, but…”
I didn’t know you’d lend it so easily…!
“Do you think the value of my life is lower than that?”
Archduke Artyom sent a playful glance at Rosé. However,
‘Sc, scary.’
All Rosé could see in his demeanor was fright. His piercing eyes and intimidating tone were enough to scare Rosé.
“That’s not what I meant.”
Rosé hastily answered and vigorously shook her head. She then looked anxious as she checked the Archduke’s mood.
Rosé, looking at the Archduke with an anxious expression. The clear voice of Archduke Artyom struck her ear.
“Then take it. The value of my life is not less.”
Rosé looked at Archduke Artyom with a stunned expression.
‘Is this like catching a rat while backtracking a cow?’
Rosé, who was planning to borrow a small 3 billion, ended up borrowing 10 billion unexpectedly.
She was unable to regain her senses, like a person who had lost their soul.
“Let me ask you one thing.”
“Yes, yes. Please ask.”
Rosé, still in a state of shock, replied. Her focus was blurred.
“What are you going to do with that large sum of money?”
Archduke Artyom was curious.
What kind of thing will the woman in front of him do? What does she want to do with a large sum of 10 billion less?
Her soul that had flown into the void found its place. She looked at the Archduke with clear eyes and calmly explained.
“I’m going to try business.”
“Business?”
“Yes. I’m going to try running a department store.”
“What is a department store?”
It was a word he heard for the first time. He frowned at Rosé’s words and asked.
In fact, before coming to the Archduke’s mansion, Rosé had planned quite a few items for the business.
Women’s clothes, makeup tools, and even a landlord she wanted so much in her previous life.
If she did other things, she would have to work hard until she settled down, but if she became a landlord, she judged that she could eat and play without working for the rest of her life.
Yeah, the landlord is the answer!
The excitement did not subside at the thought that she might be able to achieve her unfulfilled dream in her previous life in this novel.
However, this was not so easy either. Even if she built a mansion and rented it, it seemed that the recovery period would be long compared to the investment.
Buying land and building a house costs about 10 million less.
The annual rent here is about 200,000 less.
To recover an investment of 10 million, a long period of 50 years must pass.
Besides, there was no guarantee that there would be a tenant for 50 years.
She had thought it better to build a store and collect rent.
By constructing a large building and accommodating various stores, she could certainly bring in significant monthly revenue.
Thus, she conceived the idea of a ‘department store’.
This place did not yet have the concept of a ‘department store’.
Shops were all lined up in a row, and there was no complex space to shop at once.
Rosé was certain.
If she built the first department store here, she had a ‘feeling’ that she would sit on a money cushion.

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
