"Aren't you afraid that the Gu family will cause trouble? After all, you have hurt Mr. Gu Xiaohou." Ling Shuang reminded Shen Zi while wiping her hands.
Shen Zi smiled slightly, "I'm not afraid, I'm just afraid that Mr. Gu Xiaohou hopes that no one will know what happened today."
"That's right!" Ling Shuang smiled lightly, "I was really scared to death just now. I was just afraid that something would happen!"
"Whatever happens, your young lady will never be bullied." Shen Zi said.
Ling Shuang raised her eyebrows happily, "Yeah."
At this moment, the carriage suddenly stopped, and the coachman quietly opened the curtain and said, "Miss, that's the Lu family's carriage not far away."
Shen Zi didn't expect to meet the Lu family here. She opened the curtain and ordered coldly, "Drive the car to a secret place on the side of the road. Don't let the Lu family see it!"
"Yes!" the coachman responded.
Shen Zi raised her eyebrows slightly and stood up.
Ling Shuang hurriedly opened the curtains and helped Shen Zi out of the car.
It's clearing up after the snow, and wisps of warm and soft sunshine are shining down.
"Miss, this is not it." Ling Shuang's surprised voice rang out, awakening Shen Zi's mind.
Sure enough! Isn't this person Lu Li or who is it? It seems that the news she released worked.
"Miss, do we want to go in?" Ling Shuang asked.
Shen Zi shook her head and said calmly, "No need, let's go back!"
After coming back from outside, Shen Zi hadn't had a good rest yet, and she was indeed a little tired at the moment.
Ling Shuang quickly called someone to help Shen Zi wash up.
Shen Zi soaked her body in the tub and said slowly, "Tomorrow morning, find a reason to go out to see Du Hai and ask him how things are going! We must ensure that Lin'an Restaurant is prosperous and that the Shen family and the two I want to repurchase Lin'an Restaurant, and these two things have reached Lu Li's ears."
Ling Shuang wiped Shen Zi's body, "I know this!"
Seeing Shen Zi stand up, Ling Shuang quickly took the handkerchief and helped Shen Zi wipe her body.
"But I don't understand, didn't you just buy this Lin'an Restaurant quietly? Why did you transfer it and ask the second master to pretend to buy it back? Isn't this unnecessary for you?"
Ling Shuang always listened to Shen Zi's words. Although she felt that giving up Lin'an Restaurant to Miss Lu was a thankless task, she still followed Shen Zi's instructions.
Shen Zi put on her clothes, sat in front of the mirror, and said, "Don't underestimate your second uncle. Although he is a picky man, he is a talented person in business. The dandies in the capital give him three cents of respect when they see him. First of all, he is a businessman." Because of the Shen family's reputation, and secondly because my second uncle is tactful and knows how to assess the situation, leaving this matter to my second uncle is the best choice."
"As for Lin'an Restaurant, it is in the best location. If it weren't for this superior location, how could Lu Li be deceived? And there is also the second uncle with a "good reputation" here, so Lu Li is bound to win."
Shen Zi calculated every step of the way. First, she asked Butler Yuan to buy the Lin'an Restaurant, and then asked people to quietly reveal signs that Lin'an Restaurant was doing very well.
Let the second uncle pretend that he wants to buy a restaurant, and go to the restaurant every day to find the shopkeeper, saying that he is willing to pay a high price to buy it so that he can start a business.
At this time, Lu Li knew that this restaurant was a treasure.
When two families compete for each other, the one with the highest price will naturally win.
In order to raise the price of the restaurant, the shopkeeper would tell Lu Li that the Shen family was looking for him and wanted to buy the restaurant.
Then Lu Li will definitely raise the price again impatiently.
If Lu Li was serious, he would naturally send someone to find out the truth of the news. She wanted to see if the Shen family was serious about buying this restaurant, and if the shopkeeper increased the price again.
Shen Zi asked Ling Shuang to tell the shopkeeper that if Lu Li wanted to think about it again, she asked the shopkeeper to tell Lu Li that he was eager to take action and wanted to take the money to take his old mother back to his hometown for treatment.
I also heard that the second master of the Shen family planned to buy this store to start a business. He was a businessman and thought that the Shen family had no shortage of money. This was his last chance to make a fortune.
If Lu Li really wanted to buy this store, he would be eager to offer a good price to the shopkeeper.
But the shopkeeper is a man who has seen the world, and he will definitely not make a move until Mr. Shen makes a bid. This move will definitely arouse Lu Li's ambitions.
Moreover, as the second uncle is from the Shen family, how could Lu Li be willing to give up what he likes to the Shen family?
If Lu Lifan suddenly wakes up and feels that this is a trap, and sees that his second uncle's bid is high, and wants to stop, his second uncle will follow the plan and brag to the court about the restaurant bidding.
He said that he had long wanted to start a career and had taken a fancy to this restaurant in Lin'an, but unfortunately the shopkeeper never let go.
Unexpectedly, when the shopkeeper relented, someone was bidding with him and wanted to buy the restaurant.
He just wanted to try his luck and see who had the same idea as him. By the way, he would like to talk about the specific price of the bidding. He also said that he was not rich and had borrowed enough money from several companies to buy this store.
Shen Zi was very aware of the bad friends that her second uncle had in Kyoto. As soon as these words were spoken, every household would hear them, and Lu Li would be like stealing the show at the New Year's Eve banquet.
It doesn't matter whether Lu Li is refuting his second uncle, saying he doesn't have much money, or pretending not to hear!
What Shen Zi needs is for the officials in the court to know that the Lu family is just a small third-rank official. A concubine can spend so much money and the Shen family, which has a deep family background, cannot compare, and actually lost to the Lu family.
Lu Li now not only represents the Lu family, but also the Gu family. The Gu family has been favored for many years. Even if they restrain themselves in front of the emperor, they are probably intolerable behind their backs, let alone done by their own daughter-in-law.
It can be said that Shen Zi's intention is not Lin'an Restaurant, but Lu Li.
The reason why Shen Zi chose her second uncle was not only because of his bad reputation, but also because of the connections behind him, and he was the perfect candidate for this matter.
I just don’t know if Lu Li is confused or shrewd.
Shen Zi was betting that Lu Li was stupid.
If he wasn't confused, how could he be so anxious to stick to Gu Jinghuan, and even after Gu Jinghuan said those words, he would still focus on him.
Everything was as Shen Zi expected, and Lu Li did not disappoint her.
The transfer of Lin'an Restaurant has already spread a lot in Kyoto.
The huge restaurant was packed with people, and people all used this testimony as a topic of conversation.
Everyone yelled about this and asked the shopkeeper how much he planned to pay to transfer it.
Naturally, there are also young masters from noble families among them, who have a good relationship with the Shen family. They are here just to calm down the second uncle.
Shen Linkun, who was dressed in a rich and expensive outfit, said loudly, "Shopkeeper, tell me, how much is the price? You just transferred this restaurant? I wanted to be the first to buy it, but I didn't want to be preempted by the shopkeeper. , I finally seized the opportunity today, don’t regret it!”
