After learning that Mrs. Qian Li harbored such a shocking secret, Zhang Xiaozu couldn't help but admire her courage and courage.
Yesterday on the street, she took this shocking secret and stood in front of him with her consciousness open, allowing him to explore. Her expression at that time was so calm, her eyes were so sharp and firm, and there was no trace of panic.
This kind of strong courage and courage is rare even among men.
But looking back now, Zhang Xiaozu felt more ashamed, feeling that he was completely manipulated by Qian Li in yesterday's confrontation with Qian Li.
Isn't Mrs. Qian Li really afraid of him searching for spiritual consciousness?
Of course I'm afraid.
And he must be scared to death.
But she just pretended to be calm and stood in front of him. Is it just because of her courage and courage?
Of course not.
Zhang Xiaozhu felt that Mr. Qian Li had made sure that he would not probe her spiritual consciousness, so he was so calm and composed.
"If this woman were born as a man, she would definitely be able to do great things."
"I wonder what she is thinking about at this moment?"
"I want to see how she resolves the current crisis."
Zhang Xiaozu looked at Qian Li who was kneeling on the ground, and was curious about Qian Li's next reaction. He did not press Qian Li for an answer, but moved a wooden stool and sat down.
Mrs. Qian Li knelt there and was silent for nearly a quarter of an hour. Then she wiped the tears on her face and looked up at Zhang Xiaozu.
The look of panic on her face and eyes disappeared, replaced by a light of wisdom and calmness.
"Can I ask you a question?" Qian Li asked.
"ask."
"The young master told the slave family yesterday on the street that he just wanted Qian Ruoyun to lend money to the family as a springboard, and then he would return the position of head of the family. Is it true?"
"It's true. I keep my word."
"The slave family also heard that the young master wants to open an alchemy pavilion in Paradise City?"
"That's right."
"So the young master wants to use the power of the Qian family to open an alchemy pavilion in Paradise City?"
"That's half right."
"I wonder if Sir, could you please give me a brief explanation?"
"If I just want to open an alchemy pavilion in Paradise City, I don't need to borrow the power of the Qian family. I want to open an alchemy pavilion in several big cities around me, so I need to borrow the power of the Qian family.
work hard."
"If this is the case, there is no need for the young master to make Qian Ruoyun the head of the Qian family, nor can he let Qian Ruoyun become the head of the Qian family."
"How do you say it?" Zhang Xiaozu smiled, knowing that the next thing Qian Li wanted to say was the focus.
"Young master, you are not aware of the situation in Paradise City. Our Qian family has always made tea as its main business. Although there are some other scattered businesses, they are all small and small and cannot be promoted.
It's not that the Qian family doesn't want to expand its business, such as opening Dan Pavilion, restaurants, inns, etc., to diversify the family industry and make the family foundation more stable, but because it is checked and balanced by other forces in Paradise City and restricted by Liujiabao.
In Paradise City, those who sell tea can only sell tea, and those who open restaurants can only open restaurants. They cannot cross the line, otherwise it is a violation and will be besieged by other forces and suppressed by Liujiabao."
"Why?"
"Because Liujiabao requires maintaining this balance to reduce interest disputes between various family forces. Therefore, if the young master supports Qian Ruoyun to become the head of the Qian family, then he can only inherit the Qian family's business and sell tea, and
You can’t open the Alchemy Pavilion.”
"This is something I have never understood." Zhang Xiaozu frowned, but as soon as his thoughts changed, he relaxed again and said: "??????????????? I can do it, sir.
Find someone else to open the Alchemy Pavilion."
Qian Li said: "Young Master has to help Qian Ruoyun fight for the position of the head of the Qian family, and he has to train another person to open the Dan Pavilion. It is too much work."
"Do you have any good suggestions?"
"The slave family can cooperate with the young master to achieve a win-win situation."
"tell me the story."
"The Nu family will go all out to help the young master build the Dan Pavilion first. After the Young Master's Dan Pavilion has established a firm foothold in Paradise City, they will help the Nu family mother and son compete for the position of the head of the Qian family. When Quan Zi ascends to the position of the head of the Qian family,
Later, the Qian family's power was used to help the young master open more alchemy pavilions in surrounding towns.
The master holds the fate of the slave mother and son in his hands, so there is no need to worry about the slave mother and son not trying their best or not obeying orders. There is no reason for the slave mother and son not to try their best to help the master, because helping the master is helping ourselves.
Young Master, what do you think of the slave family’s idea?”
Zhang Xiaozu nodded and said: "That sounds good."
He originally planned to use the strength of the Qian family to open the Alchemy Pavilion. He never thought about occupying the magpie's nest and occupying the Qian family's family business. However, Qian Li's proposal just catered to his ideas, and it was Qian Li who took the initiative.
Helping him would save him a lot of trouble in helping Qian Ruoyun fight for the head of the Qian family, so he felt good about it.
The only thing I'm worried about is that Qian Li is very scheming and there's no guarantee that she won't dig a hole somewhere to kill him.
Although he holds Qian Li's fatal clue, Zhang Xiaozhu is still uneasy because Qian Li has left such a deep impression on him that Qian Li is scheming, ruthless, brave and resourceful, and he knows that he must deal with such a person.
Be careful every step of the way.
Zhang Xiaozu lowered his head and thought for a while, and decided to go back to Qian Ruoyun to discuss and see if Qian Ruoyun had the courage to compete with Qian Li, because from now on, Qian Ruoyun will take care of the affairs of Paradise City, and he can't always take care of it.
Staying in Paradise City helps Qian Ruoyun keep an eye on Qian Li, so it depends on Qian Ruoyun's own ideas.
"Madam, why are you still kneeling on the ground? Please get up quickly." Zhang Xiaozu raised his right hand and used his strength to help Mr. Qian Li up.
"Thank you, sir." Mrs. Qian Li thanked him as a gift.
Zhang Xiaozu stood up and said: "When I go back and ask Qian Ruoyun about this matter, if he agrees, it will be done. If he does not agree, we will discuss it separately."
Qian Li's heart sank when she heard this. She felt that Qian Ruoyun would definitely not agree. He must want the position of the head of the Qian family more, but she couldn't say anything at the moment. She could only nod and said: "The slave family is waiting for the master's orders."
"Farewell." Zhang Xiaozu cupped his hands and turned to leave.
When she reached the door, she suddenly stopped and said, "Madam is brave and resourceful, has ruthless means and extraordinary courage, and is as good as any good man.
If there is a suitable stage, he will be able to achieve a great career, but it is a pity that he fell into the chicken coop of Qian Tongtong and has no ability to use it.
land.
I wonder if Madam is interested in helping me?
Don’t rush to answer now, go back and think about it carefully, and I will ask you for the answer after some time.”
He wanted to find a good helper for Qian Ruoyun, but he didn't know if Qian Ruoyun could handle it.
But there is pressure only when there is competition, otherwise Qian Ruoyun may be gone one day.
"Thank you for your consideration, young master. I will definitely consider it carefully when I return home," Mrs. Qian Li replied.
Zhang Xiaozu walked away.
Mrs. Qian Li listened attentively. It was not until she heard Zhang Xiaozu's footsteps coming out of the courtyard that her tense nerves relaxed. She slumped down on the stool with a sad look on her face and murmured to herself: "As the saying goes,
Tao: If you want others to not know, you have to do nothing unless you do it yourself. Be sure to tell the truth."
Qian Tongqian's body had turned into a pool of foul-smelling pus. Qian Li went up to wake up the unconscious old woman, ordered her to clean up, and then left the courtyard at night.
On the way back, she didn't think much about what Zhang Xiaozhu said before leaving. Although she was a little moved, in her opinion, it was natural for Zhang Xiaozhu to squeeze out a place in Paradise City.
It's easy to open an elixir pavilion, just find a shop, get some elixirs, and choose Huang Daoji to open it. The difficult thing is how to operate it under the pressure of all forces.
She didn't think Zhang Xiaozu, an outsider, could make much waves in Paradise City.
As for Zhang Xiaozu's statement that he wanted to open the Alchemy Pavilion to surrounding cities, if she hadn't succumbed to Zhang Xiaozu's power and dared not be rude, she would have laughed out loud on the spot, thinking that Zhang Xiaozu was just daydreaming.
The words she said to Zhang Xiaopou were just words of helplessness due to the situation. She wanted to stabilize Zhang Xiaopou temporarily and then find another way to deal with it.
