Xue Cong was not a person with a bottom line. He was very clear that he was a businessman and needed to assess the situation. In particular, even the Crown Prince had repeatedly suffered in front of Du Qi. If he insisted on going against Du Qi, then he would be digging his own grave.
Therefore, Xue Cong did not insist.
Xue Cong's straight back, unconsciously, had slightly leaned forward and bowed slightly. He apologized: "Young Master Du, I was wrong. I have eyes but failed to recognize Mt. Tai. I ask Young Master Du to be magnanimous and forgive me this time. "
Du Qi lightly said: "If you want me to forgive you, then what do you think I should do?"
Xue Cong was an extremely smart person. When he heard Du Qi's words, he knew that there was still a chance. He took the opportunity to say: "Young Master Du, I don't want Mordor's contract. I will give it to Young Master Du. This time, it is my fault. I ask Young Master Du to be magnanimous and forgive me. "
Du Qi shook his head.
On the contrary, Du Qi gave Mordor's slave contract to Xue Cong. Du Qi did not say anything. He just looked at Xue Cong with a smile, waiting for Xue Cong's next move.
Xue Cong was stunned for a moment.
He thought that Du Qi wanted to return Mordor's slave contract to him. But the next moment, Xue Cong reacted. Du Qi had made it clear that it was impossible to release Mordor. Under this premise, Du Qi gave him the slave contract. He was not returning the slave contract to him. He was just letting him destroy it.
This was Du Qi's shrewdness.
At this moment, Xue Cong looked up at Du Qi. Because the Du Qi in front of him was not the least bit immature. On the contrary, he was very experienced in dealing with things. He was as cunning as an old fox.
It was too terrible to make an enemy of such a person.
Xue Cong grabbed the contract and tore it apart in a few moves, tearing the contract into pieces. From then on, Mordor's contract was scrapped and could no longer bind Mordor.
At this moment, Xue Cong was already respectful and did not dare to put on airs. He said seriously, "Young Master Du, the contract has been destroyed. Mordor is a free man from now on. If he is willing to follow Young Master Du, then he will always follow Young Master Du. He can do whatever he wants, he will not be restrained by anyone. "
"Alright!"
Du Qi wore a smile on his face.
He nodded slightly.
Xue Cong was a tactful person and knew how to read people's expressions. If not for this, Du Qi really wouldn't be willing to settle things peacefully. He had to deal with Xue Cong. With Du Qi's methods, dealing with a businessman like Xue Cong was really not a difficult matter.
Xue Cong stood up and said, "Young Master Du, can I leave now?"
"Wait!"
Du Qi shook his head and replied.
Because Xue Cong had taken the initiative to tear up the contract, Du Qi did not have any ill feelings towards Xue Cong. Especially since Xue Cong was a businessman and not a direct descendant of Li Jiancheng. Since he was not an enemy, he could rope him in and even establish a good impression.
Seeing that Du Qi did not let him leave, Xue Cong became nervous. He smiled embarrassedly and asked, "Young Master Du, why did you ask me to stay? I wonder, is there something important?"
He was quite nervous.
At this point, Xue Cong was very clear that although he was also a businessman, he was not at the same level as Du Qi. If Du Qi wanted to deal with him, it would be even easier.
Du Qi said, "You don't have to be nervous and worried. The reason why I asked you to stay is for you to rely on. Now that you have torn up Mordor's contract in front of me, how will you explain to Li Jiancheng when you go to the East Palace? "
Xue Cong's face turned bitter when he heard this.
He had calmed down Du Qi and obtained Du Qi's understanding. But the problem was that Li Jiancheng of the East Palace was the country's heir. He had great power and was not someone he could afford to offend.
Xue Cong shook his head helplessly and said with a bitter smile, "What else can I say? Just say that I am useless and cannot get Mordor back. This matter can only be taken one step at a time. "
Du Qi said, "But you have the slave contract in your hands. The Eastern Palace was aware of this. Once the East Palace asks about the slave contract, how do you plan to answer? "
Xue Cong was stunned.
Yes, this was something he had not considered.
Du Qi smiled and said unhurriedly, "Regarding Mordor's slave contract, I have a way to get you out of the East Palace's pursuit."
Xue Cong hurriedly said, "Please enlighten me, Young Master Du."
Du Qi said, "After you go to the East Palace, tell Li Jiancheng that the thumbprint on Mordor's contract is not Mordor's. The original merchant was greedy for convenience and pressed the thumbprint on his behalf."
"Because after the contract was handed to me, I discovered the problem with the thumbprint. As a result, the slave contract does not count and we cannot get Mordor back. As such, even if the East Palace is suspicious, they cannot say anything. After all, Li Jiancheng will not punish you for not accomplishing your task. "
Du Qi said, "This is your chance."
Xue Cong perked up when he heard this.
This was a good idea.
After all, the slave contract had been destroyed and there was no evidence. At this time, even if the East Palace was unhappy, they could not vent their anger on him because of this matter.
Xue Cong clasped his hands and bowed respectfully, saying solemnly, "Xue Cong will remember Young Master Du's kindness."
Du Qi said, "There's no need. It was no trouble at all."
After a pause, Du Qi continued, "Xue Cong, in the future, when you do things, don't accept anything without understanding the situation. When you meet someone else, it won't be so easy to deal with. Consider yourself lucky this time. "
"Yes, yes!"
Xue Cong hurriedly replied.
Du Qi picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip. Seeing this, Xue Cong immediately got up and took his leave.
After Xue Cong left, Mordor was still kneeling next to Du Qi. He kowtowed repeatedly and said, "Mordor will never forget Young Master's great kindness. Mordor is willing to serve Young Master for all eternity. "
"Rise!"
Du Qi ordered.
Although Mordor looked simple and honest, he was actually quite intelligent. Especially now that Mordor knew some official language, he was able to blend in quickly. In addition, he was now Du Qi's personal guard. His identity was not simple.
Mordor was very satisfied with his current life.
Therefore, Mordor was willing to follow Du Qi and serve Du Qi forever.
Mordor stood up and stood at the side obediently.
Jin Wuque continued to report to Du Qi. As he spoke, he suddenly paused and said, "Young Master, there are many restaurants in Yongxing City and even in other streets of Chang 'an City. They are all imitating us."
"The dishes from these restaurants are about the same as ours."
"Although their taste can't be compared to ours, their prices are lower. However, their prices were even lower. Thus, they were able to attract some people. Young Master, should we adjust the prices? "
Jin Wuque's expression was solemn. After all, this matter was not easy to deal with.
He couldn't just go and denounce them directly.
However, the other restaurants didn't do anything wrong.
Du Qi thought for a while and shook his head. He said, "Jin Wuque, the prices of our dishes can't be lowered. In fact, we can only raise the prices of our dishes and can't lower them. "
"Otherwise, how can a restaurant with the best dishes in the world be called the best in the world? Moreover, you just said that although the prices of the other restaurants' dishes are lower, the taste of their dishes is worse. "
"Therefore, there is no need to worry."
Du Qi said, "When it comes to quality, our restaurant is the one that deserves to be called the leader. Therefore, even if there are countless restaurants popping up in Chang 'an City, it doesn't affect us much. People with status can't eat in low-quality restaurants. These people will still come to our restaurant. "
Jin Wuque said, "Young Master, I understand."
Du Qi continued, "Apart from forging iron, you have to be strong and make all kinds of dishes delicious. As for the other aspects, I will let Liu Jian continue to research new dishes and different kinds of pastries. "
After pausing for a while, Du Qi said, "Our restaurant can't be stagnant. We have to constantly innovate and come up with new dishes. If we can do this, no matter how many people come to compete, we will always be at the forefront. No one will be able to suppress us. This is the foundation of victory. "
"Yes!"
Jin Wuque replied again.
He understood Du Qi's intention and arrangement.
Du Qi said finally, "In short, the people who run the restaurant must be at the forefront in the three aspects of service, taste, and new dishes. The service of the restaurant must make the guests feel at home. The taste of the restaurant's dishes must be delicious. The restaurant must come up with new dishes at irregular times. If we can do this well, I believe it won't be a problem. "
"Yes!"
Jin Wuque said, "I understand."
Through Du Qi's words, he already knew what the Number One Under Heaven Restaurant should do and how it should develop.
