The lady went to Hangzhou to discuss business this time, a day or two earlier than expected. It seemed to go very smoothly. Butler Kong quickly followed his servants to the gate to greet her.
Two carriages stopped at the gate of Tantai Mansion. This carriage was larger than ordinary carriages. It was pulled by two horses in front. Compared with famous families, wealthy businessmen in Suzhou paid more attention to appearance.
After all, Suzhou is the most prosperous city in the south of the Yangtze River and has countless wealthy businessmen. What matters in doing business is strength. You can't just tell everyone how rich you are, so this appearance is a way to show your strength.
As for whether they are too high-profile, no matter how high-profile or wealthy these wealthy businessmen are, they are always inferior in front of famous families. Everyone who can be called a famous family has at least hundreds of years of heritage.
Because the entourage had notified him in advance, all the servants and servants of Tantai Mansion had already lined up waiting at the gate. This was also part of the facade.
A figure with graceful figure and graceful posture got off the carriage, it was Tantai Heqing.
As a businesswoman, Tantai Heqing often needs to appear in public, dressed elegantly, simple skirts, but using the best silk.
Exquisite makeup and gorgeous headdress make her a little more noble and beautiful.
Such a woman is indeed very easy for men to be impulsive, but her identity is not something that men can easily get their hands on.
Moreover, Mrs. Xiaohe's reputation is quite a bit overwhelming for men.
As soon as Tantai Heqing's feet landed, the trained servants of Tantai Mansion shouted in unison: "Welcome home, Miss!"
Anyone would be happy to welcome such a grand occasion, but Tantai Heqing seemed to be in a bad mood at the moment. With a gloomy face, he said to the leader, Butler Kong, "Okay, let them all go back to the house and perform their duties."
."
All the servants and servants returned to the house, and soon only Butler Kong was left at the gate. Butler Kong couldn't wait and was about to speak when a man came out of another carriage. He was about twenty years old, had a handsome appearance, and was wearing fine silks.
It's Mr. Du.
This Mr. Du is a scholar and the shopkeeper of the cloth shop. He often goes out with the lady to discuss business.
But the servants in the house were secretly talking about it. This was just a cover-up. Mr. Du was actually a pretty boy kept by the young lady outside.
Butler Kong didn't know whether Mr. Du was a pretty boy kept by the young lady. As a servant, he was not qualified to guess or interfere.
However, as far as he knew, Mr. Du was knowledgeable in literature and ink, and he had helped the young lady handle many business contracts and negotiations.
Of course, if Mr. Du is compared with Mr. Xie, Butler Kong feels that one is on earth and the other is in heaven. Even the famous old gentlemen hired with huge sums of money cannot compare with Mr. Xie, let alone Mr. Du.
Mr. Du seemed to have something to say, but he hesitated when he looked at Butler Kong standing next to him.
Tantai Heqing said calmly: "Steward Kong is not an outsider. If you have anything to say, Shopkeeper Du, just say it."
Du Ruquan looked remorseful and said, "Miss, I'm so sorry, I couldn't help this time."
Tantai Heqing said calmly: "It has nothing to do with you, they are deliberately making things difficult."
Du Ruquan nodded. It was because he didn't know enough, but he didn't know whether the Hangzhou trip would leave a mark in the young lady's heart.
Tantai Heqing seemed to have no interest in continuing the conversation, and said calmly: "Shopkeeper Du, please go back first."
"Miss..." Du Ruquan said and stopped, looking at Butler Kong aside again.
After Butler Kong walked away, Du Ruquan said: "Miss, Ruquan bears a certain responsibility for the failure of the Hangzhou negotiations. Miss is in a bad mood at this time. Let Ruquan accompany you for a walk."
Tantai He said calmly: "No, I'm a little tired."
Seeing Tantai Heqing's indifferent attitude, Du Ruquan hurriedly said: "Miss, is it because Ruquan is incompetent? Miss dislikes Ruquan."
Tantai Heqing didn't like Du Ruquan's appearance a little bit.
When she first hired Du Ruquan, she used Du Ruquan as a shield to go out for business negotiations. After all, she was a woman, and with her extraordinary beauty, it was inevitable for men to harass her.
Du Ruquan did help her solve a lot of troubles, and later showed some talents and abilities.
Tantai Heqing was determined to train him to be his helper in business, so he made Du Ruquan the shopkeeper. After all, you can't find a woman to replace him for this kind of thing.
She treated Du Ruquan differently because she valued his talents and abilities, but how could she know that Du Ruquan misunderstood her for being affectionate.
On the way back, Du Ruquan showed more care and intimacy than usual.
Years of experience in shopping malls have already trained her into a well-rounded woman. How could Tantai Heqing not be able to see Du Ruquan's thoughts?
Since you dare to put your ideas on her head, I have no choice but to let you go.
However, talents like Du Ruquan are hard to find, so Tantai Heqing still wanted to give him a chance and said coldly: "Shopkeeper Du, I hope you can understand your identity."
Tantai Heqing is a person who attaches great importance to love and justice. Du Ruquan has helped her a lot. There are some things that Tantai Heqing doesn't want to say too clearly or break her face.
The smile on Du Ruquan's face immediately disappeared and turned gloomy.
Tantai Heqing walked into the mansion and was immediately greeted by Butler Kong. He has followed the young lady for many years. From the look on the young lady just now, it can be seen that the young lady is not in a very good mood. However, if she knows the change of the young master, all her worries and unhappiness will disappear instantly.
Tantai Heqing asked at the beginning: "Where is the young master?" During the days she left, she didn't know whether Wenwang was willing to study in the house honestly.
"The young master went to visit a brothel, he..."
Before Butler Kong finished speaking, Tantai Heqing slapped him in the face and scolded him: "What did I tell you when I left? You must make him study hard at home, and you are not allowed to step into a brothel.
You actually have the nerve to tell me that he went to visit a brothel!"
Tantai Heqing's face was livid, and she was obviously furious. She was already in a bad mood due to her business failure, and hearing this situation undoubtedly added fuel to the fire.
"No... Young Master, he is with..."
Before Butler Kong finished speaking, he was once again interrupted by Tantai Heqing's angry voice: "You don't have to make any excuses. If you can't manage it and can't be the steward, just pack up and leave."
Butler Kong was stunned by Tantai Heqing's scolding and froze on the spot.
"When Wen Wang comes back, tie him up and don't give him food or drink until I take care of him."
After Tantai Heqing said this, she walked towards Dongyuan. It seemed that she had to work hard to discipline this naughty brother. If this continued, no matter how hard she tried, it would be meaningless. She could only raise this naughty brother.
My brother will never succeed.
Butler Kong just stood at the gate, a little puzzled. Didn't the young lady arrange for Mr. Xie to enlighten him?
After a while, Butler Kong said to himself: "By the way, although the lady asked Mr. Xie to enlighten him, she still didn't know that Mr. Xie had such extraordinary abilities. After all, no one could have imagined that someone could do this in a short period of time.
Change the young master inside."
"That's why I got so angry when I heard that the young master went to visit a brothel again."
"Yes! It must be like this. I have to explain it to the lady."
