Chapter 985

Chapter 985 The end of the road

After a pause, Ma Qianli added: "Even if I can shamelessly come to beg for mercy, she may not help us!"

"How will you know if you don't try?"

The elder said earnestly: "The only one who can save our Zhengtu Carriage Rental Company now is Miss Li. Don't care about face and reputation now!"

"this……"

Ma Qianli still looked embarrassed.

What he hasn't said yet is that in fact, the relationship between him and Li Qingqing, the third-level alchemist of the Imperial Prefecture, is far from as good as he showed off to everyone.

What he used to brag to everyone was that he once had a drink with Li Qingqing, and the other party promised that he could come to her if he had any difficulties in the future.

But in fact, it was just that Li Qingqing needed to rent a carriage for a trip once, and he saw that he was a big shot in the Imperial Prefecture, so he went into battle and drove the carriage for him personally.

And even if he drove the car for the other party, he didn't have much communication with Li Qingqing.

Added up before and after, there are not even ten sentences.

Under such circumstances, how could he have the nerve to come to ask for help?

Even if he goes there shamelessly, Li Qingqing may not remember who he is, let alone help them.

But when he thought of the situation they were facing at the moment, and the fact that everyone was pinning their hopes on him, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and nodded, "Okay, I will try it now, but can I ask Miss Li to help?"

, but this shopkeeper is not sure at all, so don’t have too much hope!"

After that, he prepared a large gift and went to the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion with a feeling of uneasiness.

He didn't have much hope in the first place. Even if he went, he just planned to take a walk and relax.

But when he came to the gate of the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion, he happened to bump into Li Qingqing walking out of the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion.

"It can't be such a coincidence, right?"

Ma Qianli seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and hurriedly rushed forward.

But after taking a few steps, he slowed down again.

Because it was only then that he discovered that it was more than half a year ago that he personally drove for Li Qingqing.

After such a long time, Li Qingqing must have forgotten who he was.

Even if he goes up to him regardless of the embarrassment and explains his identity, the other party may not take him seriously.

In this case, why should he humiliate himself?

The more he thought about it, the more inferior he became, and he did not even dare to look at Li Qingqing.

Because he was afraid that Li Qingqing would find him secretly looking at each other.

However, just when he was deliberately avoiding it, a voice that surprised him unexpectedly came over, "Isn't this Shopkeeper Ma?"

"Um?"

Ma Qianli trembled and subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound.

From this look, he looked bad.

Because the person who was talking to him was none other than Li Qingqing, whom he couldn't face just now.

For a moment, he was stunned and didn't know what to say or do.

He originally thought that since he had driven Li Qingqing once more than half a year ago, it was impossible for the other party to remember who he was, let alone talk to a small person like him.

Unexpectedly, Li Qingqing not only took the initiative to talk to him, but also called him by name.

For him, who had extremely low self-esteem, this was like a boundless grace, which moved him beyond words.

"Shopkeeper Ma, did you hear me?"

Ma Qianli didn't answer, but Li Qingqing came over and stared at him in surprise.

"me……"

Ma Qianli suddenly came to his senses and was so nervous that he didn't know how to answer.

"Could it be that you are here looking for someone to hire a carriage?"

Li Qingqing asked himself again.

"Ah, yes, yes!"

Ma Qianli forced himself to calm down and said, "Our business at Zhengtu Carriage Rental has been sluggish recently, so I came here to see if any masters are going to travel and try to boost business!"

He is a businessman, and it is normal for him to solicit customers for himself.

The reason Li Qingqing thought of for him finally calmed down his uneasy mood.

"I see, that's a coincidence!"

Li Qingqing said excitedly: "I just want to rent a carriage for a trip. I wonder if Shopkeeper Ma is free?"

"Yes, that's great!"

How could Ma Qianli refuse? He immediately nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice, "Wherever Miss Li is going, I can personally drive you!"

"Then I'll thank Shopkeeper Ma first!"

Li Qingqing nodded and said: "But I still have to go back and pack my things. How about this? How about Shopkeeper Ma go back first, and I will go to your Zhengtu Carriage Rental Store by myself later!"

"That's great!"

Ma Qianli immediately put on a flattering smile, "The little man will go back and wait for Miss Li's arrival!"

Li Qingqing just nodded and left.

As for Ma Qianli, as if he had received a reward from an adult, he returned to Zhengtu Carriage Rental with excitement.

"I have great news for you!"

As soon as he came back, Ma Qianli proudly boasted to everyone that not only had he found Li Qingqing, but he would also come over in person later.

Hearing this, everyone was overjoyed.

"It seems that our Zhengtu Carriage Rental Company is saved!"

"With Li Qingqing's status in the Imperial Prefecture, as long as she comes forward, she can definitely keep our Zhengtu Carriage Rental Company."

"At the critical moment, Shopkeeper Ma is still reliable!"

"It's not that Shopkeeper Ma is reliable, but that the people he knows are reliable!"

"That's right. Getting to know such a big shot can save lives in many cases!"

Just as everyone was talking about it, a shout came from outside the hall.

"Report!"

Sound appears with everyone!

I saw a follower running in quickly, kneeling on one knee and reporting: "Shopkeeper Ma, Zhang Fan said that he has something to ask for!"

"Zhang Fan?"

Ma Qianli seemed to know this person, but he frowned and said, "What is he here for?"

Zhang Fan is just a coachman at their Zhengtu Carriage Rental Company.

Under normal circumstances, you are not qualified to meet him in person.

"Zhang Fan said that as long as he is allowed in, he can save the Zhengtu Carriage Rental Company!"

The servant who came to report said awkwardly.

"Just him?"

"Zhang Fan, this kid, isn't afraid of the wind blowing his tongue?"

"Even we didn't think of a solution, he's just a little coachman?"

"How could Zhang Fan, who is usually a very honest and well-behaved person, say such outrageous things today?"

"What's wrong with him?"

The senior officials present were both surprised and disdainful.

The shopkeeper Ma Qianli also waved his hand, "Let him do what he has to do. I will be busy greeting the distinguished guests later, and I don't have time to listen to his nonsense!"

"yes!"

The servants did not dare to disobey, so they responded and prepared to retreat.

But at this time, a person quickly rushed into the hall.

"Shopkeeper Ma, I have something to say!"

While rushing in, the man said anxiously: "I really have a way to save Zhengtu Carriage Rental Company, which is on the verge of bankruptcy, please believe me!"

"Zhang Fan?"

Seeing the person who had forced his way in, Ma Qianli's face darkened, "Who allowed you to come in?"

Before Zhang Fan could explain, he waved his hand and shouted: "Come here, drag down this daring Zhang Fan. If he dares to resist, I will beat him to death!"

"yes!"

A group of guards around him responded and prepared to rush towards Zhang Fan.
