Lin Jiuniang raised her eyebrows and shook the melon in her hand, "Second Young Master, what's this look like? I'm just eating melon, is there anything wrong with me?"
"You look like I've committed a big crime by eating a melon!"
After saying that, he bit down on the melon and bit hard.
Well, today she is a melon-eater.
Qian Anbang's face was twisted with anger, but knowing that the other party did it on purpose, he took a deep breath and looked indifferent:
"The dock is yours, right?"
"Yes," Lin Jiuniang nodded and pointed to the melon on the table, "Would you like to eat it?"
Seeing the melon, Qian Anbang's face darkened, he moved his eyes away with an indifferent expression, "My boatload of cloth is worth forty thousand taels.
If Master Wu cannot get the cloth back within two days and delays my Qian family's business, you will not only have to compensate me for the cloth, but also the liquidated damages, a total of fifty thousand taels."
Lin Jiuniang smiled, put the melon rind in her hand on the table, took out a handkerchief and wiped her hands:
"Second Young Master, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Should I pay you money? Why should I pay you money? Second Young Master, are you sure you are not sick?"
"My boat is parked at your dock, and I paid for you to keep it. Now my things are missing, shouldn't you pay for it?" Qian Anbang sneered, bitch, you have something good to look at.
"No compensation!"
Lin Jiuniang continued to eat the melon.
The other party's attitude made Qian Anbang very unhappy, "Lin Jiuniang, don't forget..."
"I haven't forgotten anything," Lin Jiuniang interrupted him with a hint of sarcasm on her lips, "Please go read the docking contract before talking.
I just charged you one tael of silver for a day's docking fee, and you still want me to keep your things for you? Why don't you go to heaven?
If you are illiterate, ask Manager Qian to read the docking contract to you.
There is one above, the pier only provides docking and does not provide storage. The property on the ship is kept by itself. If it is missing, it has nothing to do with the pier."
Lin Jiuniang glanced at him with disdain, "Second Young Master, the Qian family has a great business. Although you are a bastard and cannot take over the Qian family, you should feel good about everything.
If you don't know these common sense, you can come to me to claim compensation. You know, I can sue you for blackmail.
However, you have lost a whole shipment of goods, and I sympathize with you. I won’t argue with you this time. I won’t be so easy to talk to you next time.”
Qian Anbang was so angry that his body was shaking. Damn it, there was this one.
He was even ridiculed by a woman about his background, damn it!
What's wrong with him being a concubine? Who says a concubine can't take over the family business?
Fatty Dong nodded in agreement, "Second Young Master, this seems to be the case with ships docked at the pier in the past. Things have gone missing. The pier is indeed not responsible."
"Shut up!"
Qian Anbang's face was extremely dark. Damn it, Dong Dacheng, did he need to say anything about this?
Fatty Dong was so angry that he immediately shut his mouth.
I was worried that my cloth was missing before, but now the Qian family's cloth is also missing. The Qian family will definitely look for it, and then his cloth will definitely be found.
After thinking about it this way, he felt less panicked.
Lin Jiuniang shook her head, "Second Young Master, the thing is missing. Just look for it slowly. Why are you angry with Boss Dong? Boss Dong is just a sensible person and just tells the truth."
Qian Anbang said nothing. This matter must have something to do with this woman. The dock is her territory, and it would be easiest for her to take action.
But where is the evidence?
"If Second Young Master is not in a hurry to find Bu, why not drink tea here?" Lin Jiuniang raised her eyebrows, "Look at this endless stream of guests, it's really embarrassing for me."
"I originally wanted to buy some cloth from the Second Young Master to cover it up, but now it seems that I can't patronize the Second Young Master's business."
Qian Anbang stared at her with cold eyes, turned and left!
Damn woman, on purpose!
Lin Jiuniang glanced at him and continued to drink tea slowly. He would be back.
Because they couldn't find out how Bu disappeared, and Bu...
Lin Jiuniang nodded slightly. She said that Jixiang Buzhuang must close today. It must close today.
His eyes fell on the handsome man opposite who had been looking at him, and he raised his eyebrows, "Is the show good?"
Zhao Qingxuan was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "It looks good."
She walked towards Lin Jiuniang slowly, "As long as Qian Anbang is embarrassed, it's a good show.
Get to know Zhao Qingxuan, Song..."
"Songhe Tower, the young master's house at Yunlai Inn, right?" Lin Jiuniang took his words and twitched the corner of her mouth, "You must have come to see me specially."
Zhao Qingxuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded, with approval on his face, "Zhang Baocheng is right, Mrs. Lin is smart."
"Don't dare take it!"
Lin Jiuniang glanced at him and felt that his features seemed familiar, but after thinking about it, she confirmed that she had never seen him before, then put it down and asked him why he was here.
Zhao Qingxuan knew that the other party was a straightforward person, so he did not hide his intention.
"You have taken a fancy to those shops of mine and want to buy them?" Lin Jiuniang gave him an appreciative look, "You have a good eye, and you really know how to do business.
But don’t your Zhao family already own an inn and restaurant in the town? If you open another one, wouldn’t it be an extra step?”
"How could that happen?" Zhao Qingxuan shook his head, "Mrs. Lin, if you didn't know that Anle Town would develop into a major waterway transportation town in the future, why would you have invested so much money in it?"
"So, if we open restaurants and inns next to the pier, we will only make steady profits without losing money."
Lin Jiuniang smiled, with a joking look on her face, "You said you're guaranteed to make a profit, so why should I give it to you?"
"And unfortunately, the place you are looking for happens to be the place I left for myself to open a restaurant and inn."
Zhao Qingxuan had actually guessed it a long time ago, otherwise it wouldn't be on this scale. He just didn't want to give up and couldn't help but test it out.
Sighing, "Ms. Lin, if you really open a restaurant and inn, my Zhao family's business will withdraw from Anle Town."
As long as she is here, there will be no business in Songhe Tower.
He has not forgotten that the formula he bought from her has made Songhelou's business much better in the past few months, with profits 30% higher than before.
Lin Jiuniang chuckled, "Zhao Shaodong, what you said scared me.
People who don't know the truth at that time will think that I used some dirty means to force the Zhao family to withdraw from Anle Town."
"In business, everyone relies on their abilities and competes fairly. Whether you make money or not depends on your fate."
Zhao Qingxuan didn't say anything, and then talked about other things. After chatting for a while, he left.
Looking at Zhao Qingxuan's figure, Lin Jiuniang raised her eyebrows. Would the Zhao family really be willing to withdraw from Anle Town?
She has reservations!
Don't just try to swallow up all her property in one go, otherwise, she won't mind picking up one more.
Anyone who snoops on her things will be punished.
…
By evening, the people of Anle Town had something to talk about.
Jixiang Clothing Store closed down, and their boss Dong Dacheng was invited to the Yamen for tea by Supervisor Shi Wu.
The reason is that the guard will steal, and the thief will shout to catch the thief.
He reported that all the fabrics in his shop were gone, but he found them in the cellar of his house.
Also found at the same time was the missing batch of fabrics from the Qian family.
Naturally, Wu Tianci locked Dong Dacheng's family back to the county government office without saying a word, and along the way, Fatty Dong kept shouting that he was wronged.
It's a pity that Wu Tianci didn't even have the slightest sympathy when he shouted so loudly that his throat broke.
Still livid, he was dragged back to the Yamen.
Is it unreasonable to play tricks on him again and again, and really treat him as an idiot?
This time, he will never spare these troublemakers!
