Quick Travel: The beginning is Shura Field

Chapter 1444: Green Tea Auntie Becomes a Favorite with Her Beauty (23)

It would be fine if it happened to just one shop, but if this problem occurred in more than a dozen shops, the Zhao family’s trust in the people would decline.

Dai Ke looked at the continuous deficits in the account book and slowly picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"Ke Er!"

A burst of hurried voices was heard, and Zhao Wei ran to her in panic.

In the past two months, he has been busy rebuilding his network of contacts. He has lost a lot of weight and no longer looks as ugly and greasy as before.

"Ke'er, I heard that all the shops have stopped supplying. What's going on?" As Zhao Wei questioned, Dai Ke squeezed out two tears and covered her face with a handkerchief: "It's all my fault. I had a good talk before, but now the supply side has changed its mind."

"The supplier said that we were making a lot of money, so they teamed up with all the suppliers to raise the price, directly increasing the purchase price by five times. They also said that if we didn't agree, all the suppliers of the shops would cut off our supply."

"I have also looked for other suppliers, but the supply around the capital is monopolized. I am really helpless."

"Although we can afford five times the price, and I am confident that I can make a profit, but if we do this, we will encourage their evil ways, and I am afraid they will ask for more in the future."

Now that the supply of goods has been cut off, the shop has no choice but to close.

But closing the door has a huge impact on them.

But complying with the supplier's request and purchasing goods at five times the price would indeed embolden them, and Zhao Wei himself could not swallow this breath. Just as he was hesitating, Dai Ke suggested: "Master, how about this, let's agree to them first and purchase a batch of goods to maintain the normal operation of the store."

"I will stay in the capital to look after the shop, and you can go to the surrounding towns to look for other ways."

"But this matter was my oversight after all. If you don't want to go, I am willing to leave the capital and investigate other towns."

Zhao Wei was really worried about Dai Ke, a woman, leaving the capital.

But they couldn't travel together, after all, someone had to stay in the capital to take charge of the Zhao family's business.

After much thought, Zhao Wei felt that Dai Ke's method was feasible.

Moreover, in the past two months, Dai Ke has helped the Zhao family increase its revenue fivefold, and all of their previous shops have also been revived.

He has great confidence in Dai Ke's abilities.

"Then we'll follow your plan. If you need any silver, just take it from the warehouse. First, we'll focus on stabilizing the operation of the shop."

"Okay, I'll listen to you, Master."

Zhao Wei set off quickly.

As soon as he left, Dai Ke took out all the silver bills and silver items in the warehouse.

The Zhao family was basically emptied out, and Dai Ke also made those suppliers run away.

Anyway, the money she had was enough for her to squander for the rest of her life, and she wouldn't need these suppliers and shops anymore.

Dai Ke went back to his room and found a letter on the table.

It was a letter from Zhao Zijin, in which he said that he had made all the arrangements and would lure Zhao into the trap when he went to discuss business, and get him involved in the illegal salt trafficking.

He also reminded Dai Ke to cut off the business with the Zhao family as soon as possible to avoid affecting her interests. Now Dai Ke is making a lot of money, and when Master Zhao comes back, he will only get an empty mansion.

Dai Ke burned the letter and packed up his things.

Just as she was about to meet Cuihe, she saw Fang Zhishan coming towards her.

It’s been so long since they last met that Dai Ke almost forgot about this person.

Dai Ke was a little indifferent: "Why is Lord Fang here?"

Fang Zhishan stared at Dai Ke in surprise.

I thought Dai Ke would be excited when we met again after not seeing each other for a long time.

But her cold and distant attitude was like a knife stabbing into his chest.

Fang Zhishan breathed heavily, even with a subconscious flattery: "What's wrong? Is it because I haven't come to see you for a long time, are you angry?"

He further explained: "Something happened in the Ministry of War. We have been cooperating with the Ministry of Justice in the investigation for the past two months. We did not mean to ignore you." Dai Ke is rich now, while Master Dai is just a minister.

She could use money to defeat Mr. Dai and make him unable to recover, so she didn't need Fang Zhishan's help.

I had been tolerating him before in order to stabilize Mr. Zhao, but now there is no need.

"I don't blame Lord Fang for ignoring this matter. On the contrary, I am very grateful."

Fang Zhishan sensed that the atmosphere was not good, and asked tentatively: "What do you mean?"

"Literally, Lord Fang, have you forgotten that our relationship started when you forced me to start with you?"

"I used to swallow my anger for Zhao Wei, but now I understand that people still need to have a foothold, otherwise they will be easily bullied."

In Fang Zhishan's heart, Dai Ke has always been a simple and well-behaved woman.

He didn't think carefully about what Dai Ke meant, he just thought she was angry about the coercion she had done the first time.

"Ke'er, I just like you too much. I promise I'm sincere to you!"

"If you don't believe me, give me some time and I will marry you with three letters and six engagements."

Dai Ke sneered and said, "Forget it. I can't accept Master Fang's kindness."

Fang Zhishan's position is relatively stable and his network of contacts is very clean. It is definitely not feasible to deal with Fang Zhishan by gradually disintegrating the Zhao family.

So Dai Ke didn't intend to play along with the other party.

"Ke'er, if you are really angry about my rudeness when we first met, you can hit me or scold me, whatever you want, but don't be so cold to me."

As he said that, Fang Zhishan came up and wanted to hug Dai Ke, but Dai Ke looked away in disgust.

"Fang Zhishan, you make me feel disgusted. Every time I am touched by you, I have to wash for a long time, so stay away from me."

Fang Zhishan saw that Dai Ke's disgust did not seem fake, and breathed heavily: "Have you always hated me?"

“Of course, I had nothing before and was dependent on others. If I didn’t bear with you and stabilize Zhao Wei, I would be treated as a worthless item and dealt with.”

"But it's different now. I can live well even if I leave the Zhao family. Why should I put myself in a difficult position to satisfy disgusting old men like you?"

Dai Ke's words pierced his heart, and Fang Zhishan's eyes turned red: "Do you dislike me so much?"

He thinks that he is still somewhat good-looking, right?

Dai Ke admitted that Fang Zhishan was not ugly, but his character was too poor.

After all, how could he be a good person if he could even take over other people's wives and concubines? Dai Ke didn't want to waste time talking to Fang Zhishan, so he just walked around him.

"Ke'er, I know I did something wrong, but I really can't let it go, so forgive me!"

A chill came from behind Dai Ke.

While Dai Ke dodged swiftly, he also saw Fang Zhishan's surprise.

Fang Zhishan's move missed and he stood there in shock: "You know Kung Fu?"

Fang Zhishan has been fighting in the battlefield since he was a child. His skills are at least ranked among the top ten in the capital, but Dai Ke can easily avoid him, which makes him doubt Dai Ke's identity.

"If I don't learn some self-defense techniques, how can I defend myself against a villain like you?"
