Lin Wanrong laughed out loud. The Grand Mistress suddenly realized that this was the answer to his vulgar words. She was so anxious that her face turned red and tears welled up in her eyes. She said, "You, am I born to be bullied by you?"
The Grand Mistress was really angry. She ignored Lin San along the way. When she returned to the store, she saw that everyone was waiting anxiously. The Grand Mistress didn't care about everyone's anxious eyes. She threw herself into Zhang mama's arms and said, "Mama —" Then she couldn't speak anymore and cried loudly …
The Grand Mistress returned safe and sound. Of course, everyone was happy. However, Lin San's expression was very strange. He wanted to laugh but didn't dare to. The Grand Mistress's expression was even more strange. It seemed to contain the seven flavors of life. No one could understand it.
The effect of "worse than a beast" was very obvious. The Grand Mistress didn't say a word to Lin Wanrong until the next day when they went to the annual meeting.
Lin Wanrong didn't really care. It wasn't the first time he flirted with a girl. He just let it be.
When they went out, the Grand Mistress had already gotten into the carriage. It seemed that she didn't want to see a vulgar person like him. Lin Wanrong was also happy to be left alone.
The Clear Rain House, where the annual meeting was held, was located next to the Su Causeway. It was a famous restaurant in Hangzhou. Lin Wanrong followed the Grand Mistress into the building. He glanced at the situation here and snorted coldly in his heart.
It turned out that the layout of the Clear Rain House was very similar to that of the Food for Immortals. What made Lin Wanrong most indignant was that the Clear Rain House actually copied the various promotional methods that were hung on the wall of the Food for Immortals. It seemed that the Clear Rain House must have sent someone to Jinling's Food for Immortals to investigate the site.
Lin Wanrong didn't know whether he should be happy or sad. Those promotional methods had already spread to Hangzhou. It showed that the reputation of the Food for Immortals had already spread out. Even this foreign restaurant had sent people to observe and learn. What was sad was that there was no patent protection at this time. The promotional methods of the Full Meal and Wine House couldn't be kept secret. He couldn't do anything about it.
In any case, it was hard to make people happy after seeing this. Lin Wanrong snorted heavily.
Miss Lin, who hadn't talked to Lin Wanrong for a long time, was walking in front. Hearing his voice, she couldn't help but turn around and look at him, saying, "You'll see the top figures in the Jiangzhe business circle later. Don't be careful."
Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "Don't worry, Eldest Miss. I am serious in front of strangers."
The Grand Mistress snorted and said, "If I say you are serious, then the sun will rise from the west. Don't say what you said yesterday again in the future. Otherwise, I won't talk to you anymore. "
"I know, I know." Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "I won't say it to you in the future."
But the Grand Mistress heard the hidden meaning in his words. She snorted and said, "Did you say those dirty words to Miss Qing Xuan?"
Lin Wanrong was stunned for a moment. Why did this girl keep mentioning Qing Xuan? He said, "This is a private matter. It's not convenient to disclose it to the Grand Mistress."
Xiao Yuruo gritted her teeth and didn't talk to him anymore. When the two of them went upstairs, they saw a short and fat old man walking up. He cupped his fists at the Grand Mistress and said with a smile, "Lady Xiao, welcome. I apologize for not going out to meet you."
The Grand Mistress smiled and returned the greeting. "President Yu, don't say that. It's a blessing for the younger generation to attend the annual meeting of the Chambers of Commerce in both Zhejiang and Jiangsu. It's not worthy of President Yu's welcome. It's really too much for Xiao Yuruo."
This fat old man was about forty or fifty years old. His face was ruddy and he had a fake smile on his face. Lin Wanrong glanced at him. This guy should be the President of the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce. Looking at his fat belly, it was probably not a good idea to pretend.
President Yu squinted his eyes and smiled. "Grand Mistress, don't stand on ceremony. These days, the people in the same trade in Zhejiang and Jiangsu are all talking about Grand Mistress's methods. They are all very envious. Later, there will be many people in the same trade who want to interact with you."
There was a hidden meaning in his words. The Grand Mistress pretended not to hear it. She nodded and smiled. "President Yu is too polite. Xiao Yuruo can't ask for more interaction with the people in the same trade."
President Yu looked behind the Grand Mistress and asked curiously, "Why? Did Grand Mistress come alone?"
Lin Wanrong was just a small servant. In the eyes of this fat president, he was of course not a person. Lin Wanrong wanted to kick this fat man's butt. In order not to make things difficult for the Grand Mistress, he only snorted and didn't say anything.
The Grand Mistress said, "I only brought one person. The rest are irrelevant. It's useless even if they came."
President Yu smiled. "Why didn't Prince Tao come with you?"
The Chambers of Commerce in both Zhejiang and Jiangsu knew about Tao Dongcheng's pursuit of Lady Xiao. President Yu said this to tease the Grand Mistress.
Xiao Yuruo smiled and shook her head. "Prince Tao might be busy and came late. He and I are just colleagues. I don't know much about these things."
President Yu laughed and invited the Grand Mistress in.
There were quite a few people present. They were all famous wealthy merchants from both Zhejiang and Jiangsu. The Grand Mistress smiled and greeted them. It was obvious that this wasn't the first time they met.
Lin Wanrong followed beside the Grand Mistress. He carefully looked at the expressions of these people. He saw envy and jealousy in their eyes. Thinking about Fatty Yu's words, these people were probably coveting the Xiao Family's two businesses.
The Grand Mistress found a table and sat down. The people present were all merchants from Jin Ling. They were familiar with each other. Next to the Grand Mistress was a woman in her thirties. She was tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. She looked very valiant.
When she saw the Grand Mistress, she pulled her hand and said with a big smile, "Big sister, come sit with me."
She spoke with a thick Shandong accent. The word "big sister" made Lin Wanrong want to laugh. But it also made him feel very close.
The Grand Mistress sat beside her and said with a smile, "Sister Liu, you came early?"
"Isn't that so?" Sister Liu said carelessly. "We traveled the whole day yesterday. Those animals were disappointing. They kicked their hind legs and pooped on the way. We were delayed. We only arrived after midnight."
As soon as this was said, all the merchants at the table laughed. The Grand Mistress's face turned red. She said with a smile, "Sister Liu, you're still so straightforward."
Lin Wanrong, on the other hand, felt extremely comfortable. This was the friendly language of working people. Although this Sister Liu was a little buff and spoke a little rough, she had a straightforward temperament. He admired her very much.
The Grand Mistress and Sister Liu chatted. It turned out that this Sister Liu was called Liu Yuee. She was originally from Pei County, Shandong (Note: Pei County now belongs to Jiangsu). Later, she married into an ordinary family in Jinling. She had a strong appearance since she was a child. After she married, her husband was an honest person. Liu Yuee was a skilled worker. She had a unique skill of polishing jade and jadeite passed down from her ancestors. Slowly, she became the best in Jinling. Over time, her business became bigger and bigger. She simply opened an antique shop selling jade and jadeite. Her business also reached Anhui and Zhejiang. Now, she had a lot of money. This Liu Yuee took care of the shop and her husband well. She was a famous strong woman.
The Grand Mistress and she were both women. They often traveled between provinces and often traveled together. They had a good relationship.
Liu Yuee said, "Big sister, I heard that you were kidnapped by those White Lotus demons a few days ago. I was worried to death. Fortunately, you came back safe and sound. You are really lucky. "
The Grand Mistress pointed at Lin Wanrong and said with a smile, "Fortunately, my family had guards, so I was able to escape."
Liu Yuee looked at Lin Wanrong and said in surprise, "This little brother has such great ability?"
The Grand Mistress said, "His ability is indeed not small. I'm afraid that my family's pond is too shallow to raise such a big fish."
What big fish? It's obviously a big dragon. Damn, what's wrong with this girl's eyes? Lin Wanrong thought indignantly.
Liu Yuee immediately said, "To be able to receive praise from such an amazing person like you, this little brother must have some ability. Little brother, what's your name? How old are you this year? "
"My name is Lin San. I'm 20 this year." Lin Wanrong said with a smile. Among the people in the hall, only this Big Sister Liu did not treat him as a servant. How could he not be grateful to her? Although he was a little unsightly.
"Only 20?" Liu Yuee grinned widely. "That's even harder to come by. Little brother Lin San, do you have a lover? "
This question was too crude. Hehe, Lin Wanrong 'shyly' replied, "I haven't put it on yet."
Liu Yuee laughed heartily. "Little brother, if you find a girl you like, just tell me. You saved my sister's life, and I'll introduce you to some good girls. Whether they're from the Yichun brothel or Myo Yuk Square, I'll find them for you."
The Grand Mistress covered her mouth and laughed. "Big Sister Liu, don't listen to Lin San's nonsense. He already has someone in his heart, and she's as beautiful as a fairy. In all of Jinling, there's no one who can compare."
Liu Yuee asked curiously, "Big Sister Liu, even you can't compare? In all of Jinling, I've never seen anyone prettier than you. Little brother, is your lover really prettier than my sister? "
This question was not easy to answer. The Grand Mistress glanced at him, then lowered her head in silence. Lin Wanrong laughed. "Each has their own strengths."
The Grand Mistress snorted, but it was hard to tell whether she was satisfied or dissatisfied. She lowered her head and said, "You always know how to coax people with sweet words."
Liu Yuee glanced at the young miss, who was blushing furiously. Suddenly, she moved closer to Lin Wanrong and said, "Little Brother Lin, why don't you divorce your lover?"
Lin Wanrong was taken aback. Before he could say anything, Liu Yuee continued, "I'm afraid my Xiao Family sister has taken a fancy to you."
