After hearing Jing Jiu's words, Shi Jiancang's smile faded a little.
Jing Jiu said he would go to his partner to buy chocolates, and he did it immediately.
The result! As you can imagine, there is naturally no gain.
With this unique chocolate business in his hands, people simply ignored him, a businessman who came from tens of thousands of miles away.
"Miss Jingjiu, to be honest, before coming here, I sent someone to visit your master's partner.
The other party rejected me directly, saying that he didn't have much chocolate there, and the daily limited supply was not enough to sell, let alone sell some extra to me.
He told me that if I want to buy chocolate, let me come to your place and try it myself. If you have it, it will be there. If not, it will not be available elsewhere." Shi Jiancang said with a bitter smile on his face.
"..." Jing Jiu was silent for a moment and said to Shi Jiancang with a look of regret, "I'm very sorry, our master has already signed the terms of the contract with his partner.
The terms of the contract clearly state that our chocolate is sold through our partners and I have no right to sell the chocolate to anyone else."
After hearing Jing Jiu's reply, Shi Jiancang's face was full of disappointment.
Because of Jing Jiu's decisive answer, the three people in the living room fell into silence.
"Um...can you please ask your master to come out and I can have an interview with him?"
I am very sincere and will definitely give you a price that satisfies your master." Shi Jiancang took out the second plan that he had prepared long ago.
Unfortunately, as soon as he came up with this second plan, he saw Jing Jiu and shook his head at him.
"Miss Jingjiu, I am really sincere. As long as your master..." Before Shi Jiancang could finish his words, he saw Jingjiu shaking his head again.
Seeing the other party's reaction, Shi Jiancang was interrupted. Then, he heard Jing Jiu say to him.
"President Shi, it's not that I don't want to help you invite our master to come out, it's because our master has already traveled far away. He has been away from home for many days, and we don't know exactly when he will come back.
Let's do this! Leave your contact information and when our master comes back, I will tell him about you. If he is willing to see you, I will ask someone to find you. "
When Shi Jiancang saw that the other party had reached this point, he also knew that there was no need to stay any longer, so he took out a post from his pocket.
"Miss Jingjiu, this is the office of our Chamber of Commerce in the capital. If your master comes back and is willing to see me, you can have someone come here to find me."
"Okay, President Shi." Jing Jiu took the post handed over to him with both hands, nodded with a smile, and responded politely.
Afterwards, the tea steward stood up and sent the president of the Chamber of Commerce out the door.
"Huh..." Jing Jiu saw the tea steward and President Shi leaving the living room. She took a long breath and relaxed her whole body, "It's really tiring to deal with the president of this kind of chamber of commerce!"
…………
"President Shi, be careful on the road." The tea steward sent the guest to the door and watched him get on his carriage and leave the manor.
"Tea Butler, that person came to our manor again to buy chocolates, right?" Zhangqiu, who happened to be returning from patrolling the manor, asked casually when he saw a carriage leaving.
"yes!"
"There have been several waves of people like this coming in these days, it's really endless."
"This also shows that the boss's chocolate is becoming more and more popular!"
"That's true..." Zhang Qiu's face lit up with joy as he thought of the increasing number of copper coins in the warehouse.
Although the money has nothing to do with him, his boss has always been generous and will most likely give red envelopes to workers like them in the future.
…
The finely carved carriage drove slowly on the path, with green trees on both sides of the road, and the breeze blew by from time to time, causing the branches on both sides of the road to sway gently.
"Shashasha..."
The swaying branches collide with each other and make bursts of noise. After hearing this sound, people can't help but feel a little calm.
"Damn it, you are so shameless, so don't blame me." Such an environment that could calm down his heart could not reduce the anger in Shi Jiancang's heart who was riding in the carriage.
"Master, what should we do next?" The servant driving the car heard his master's angry scolding and asked cautiously.
"What else can we do? Of course we did it according to the old rules." Shi Jiancang's gloomy voice came from the carriage.
"Master, this is the capital city! Let's... we should be careful." The servant driving the car tactfully warned his master.
As soon as he finished speaking, a pale golden aura bloomed in the carriage.
Shi Jiancang raised his hand and slapped forward. The curtain of the carriage was blown open by a fierce wind, and then hit the servant who was driving the carriage.
"boom."
The servant who was hit immediately vomited a mouthful of blood, fell off the carriage, rolled several times on the ground, and fell into a ditch on the roadside.
"Master, have mercy on me! Master, please have mercy! I know I was wrong." The servant, spitting blood from his mouth, repeatedly begged for mercy to Shi Jiancang, who was sitting in the carriage.
"How can I allow you, a slave, to object to the decision I made?" Shi Jiancang's cold voice came from the carriage.
"Master, have mercy on me! Master, please have mercy! I know I was wrong." The injured servant knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing to Shi Jiancang who was sitting in the carriage to admit his mistake.
This servant has been with Shi Jiancang for decades and can be considered a confidant. Shi Jiancang was reluctant to beat him to death, "Get up! I won't do this again."
"Yes, yes, thank you sir for sparing this little dog's life." The injured servant said to Shi Jiancang with tears in his eyes.
"Let's set off! Don't waste time."
"yes."
The injured servant wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, quickly climbed into the carriage, and then drove the horse pulling the carriage towards the capital again.
"When you return to the capital, you should immediately invite those people to see me."
"Master, should we invite everyone here, or just the two most powerful people?"
"Invite the two most powerful people to come! I was in that manor just now, and I didn't sense any practitioners who were above the first level of peak strength.
The subsequent plan should be completed with just those two people... Haha, there may not even be a need for those two people to take action at the same time."
"Yes, sir. When I get back, I will immediately invite those two people to see you."
Shi Jiancang, who was sitting in the carriage, was silent for a few seconds, and then said, "It's better to be on the safe side. After you return to the capital, please invite those two people to meet me at the house I asked you to buy three days ago.
I."
"Okay, sir." The injured servant nodded, coughing from time to time. Then he thought of something and said again, "Sir, it seems that besides us, there are others who have the same idea as us."
"Really? Since those people have the same idea as me, let's each fight based on our abilities!" Shi Jiancang smiled coldly.
…………
After sending Shi Jiancang away, the old butler Cha Tu returned to the living room.
"Steward Tea, I have already calculated the accounts for the recent period." Jing Jiu saw the old steward Tea Tu coming back and said immediately.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work. I'll go to the accounting room later to check the accounts." The old butler Cha Tu nodded and said with a smile, "It's a holiday tomorrow. Have you figured out where to go?"
"Well, I've already thought about it. Luci and I will go to Lakeside Town tomorrow."
"Lakeside Town? It's nice there."
Jing Jiu and the old housekeeper Cha Tu were chatting when an elf maid walked in quickly and they both looked at each other.
"Tea Butler, someone is coming from the palace."
"Is there someone from the palace?"
"Well, it's the bodyguard sent by Her Royal Highness the Princess." The elf maid said. She even knew that the other party was the bodyguard of Her Royal Highness the Princess, and she obviously had a certain understanding of that bodyguard.
Well! It’s a bit strange that an ordinary maid would know something about the guards from the palace!
But in fact! The reason why this maid knows the guard to a certain extent is because the guard will come to the house every now and then.
Over time, it became difficult for both the male and female servants to understand this guard.
As soon as he saw the other party coming, he would know that he was following the orders of Her Royal Highness the Princess.
"Please invite the guard in quickly," the old butler Cha Tu said quickly.
"Yes." This year's maid nodded, then turned and left.
After the elf maid left, the old butler Cha Tu turned to Jing Jiu and said, "This guard came to the boss again on the order of Her Royal Highness the Princess... Jing Jiu, go to the warehouse and get a bag of chocolates.
"
"Okay, I'll go right away." Jing Jiu nodded, then stood up and walked towards the warehouse in the manor.
…………
A moment later, in the living room where guests were entertained.
The guard in armor sat on the chair with a depressed look on his face. He had been here many times during this period, but he failed to complete the task every time, which made him ashamed to go back to see Her Royal Highness.
"I'm really sorry, our master has been out for a long time this time." The old butler Cha Tu poured a cup of tea for the guard in front of him and said with an apologetic look.
"Sigh...Why did Mr. Lin Fei stay away from home for so long this time?" The guard sighed first, and then asked.
"We don't know this either. Our master's whereabouts have always been erratic. Every time he goes out, he doesn't say exactly how long he has been out."
"Hey, Tea Butler, every time I am ordered by Her Royal Highness the Princess to come and invite Mr. Lin Fei into the palace, I have to go back with bad news every time. This makes it very difficult for me!"
Old Butler Cha Tu couldn't accept the guard's words. He also knew in his heart that every time the guard returned without success, it would be very difficult for him to deal with Her Royal Highness.
But if you tell him about this kind of thing, he won't be able to solve the problem for the other party!
Seeing the embarrassed expression on the old butler Cha Tu's face, the guard also knew that there was nothing he could do.
He picked up the tea that the old butler Cha Tu poured for him, drank it all in one gulp, then stood up and hugged his fists at the old butler Cha Tu.
"Thank you for the tea, butler. Since Mr. Lin Fei is not at home, I will go back and resume my life first."
"Please stay." When the old butler Cha Tu saw the other party turning to leave, he quickly called out to the other party. Then he turned to look at Jing Jiu aside and gave the other party a look.
Upon receiving the look from the old butler Cha Tu, Jing Jiu nodded, then quickly picked up a small package and walked forward.
"Tea Butler, what can I do for you?" the guard asked in confusion.
The old butler Cha Tu took the package from Jing Jiu who came forward and handed it to the guard with a smile.
"Tea Butler, what do you mean?" the guard frowned and asked in confusion.
"There are some chocolates in this package. Please, sir, please take these chocolates back to your Highness the Princess." explained the old butler Cha Tu.
"This... this is not good!" This guard has been responsible for protecting Princess Linglan for more than thirty years, and he knows Princess Linglan's character quite well.
If you rashly accept something given by others and take it back, Princess Linglan will definitely be angry.
The old butler Cha Tu, who has become a mature man, saw the hesitant look in the eyes of the guard in front of him. After thinking for a moment, he knew what the other person was worried about.
So, he smiled slightly and said slowly, "Master Guard, our master has a very good personal relationship with Princess Linglan. You know this, right?"
The guard nodded when he heard this, and then he heard the old butler Cha Tu say, "When our master went to the palace before, he also accepted the scented tea given to him by Her Royal Highness the Princess.
Now we, the servants, are preparing some insignificant snacks for our master. Please bring them back to Her Royal Highness the Princess to try.
I guess based on the personal relationship between our master and Her Royal Highness the Princess, I will definitely not blame you."
After hearing what the old butler Cha Tu said, the guard's worries were suddenly relieved.
He reached out to take a pack of chocolates from the old butler Cha Tu and said with a smile, "This chocolate is not a trivial snack now."
"Haha, you are so honored by the guard. Nothing is worth mentioning in front of Her Royal Highness the Princess." The old butler Cha Tu said modestly.
Actually! Everyone in the manor now knows that their chocolate is popular all over the country and has become a special product that ordinary people cannot afford to consume.
As domestic servants who are the only suppliers of this business, they can't help but feel a little proud and happy.
At the same time! Every now and then, they can be rewarded with a few pieces to try these chocolates that ordinary people cannot afford.
This kind of treatment is something that other servants simply cannot enjoy.
"I would like to thank your master on behalf of our princess... By the way, if your master comes back, you must remember to tell him and ask him to go to the palace to find your princess."
The guard said to the old butler Cha Tu, and then left with the bag of chocolates.
As soon as the guard from the palace left, an elf maid quickly walked into the living room and said to the old butler Chatu who was about to drink tea.
"Tea Butler...there is another person coming to visit outside the door."
The elf maid said as she handed the greeting card in her hand to the old housekeeper.
