Feng Shao glanced at Cheng Shichuan with a smile.

"This is my family's shop, we just rented it. Who are you?"

"You...you guys, I don't want to rent this shop anymore, how come it's yours?"

"You already said that if you don't rent it anymore, I'll rent it, so it's naturally mine."

Feng Shao was too lazy to talk nonsense with him: "Stay away."

Cheng Shichuan was furious, but there was nothing he could do.

Cheng Guanghan was also looking for a shop on the street. The good ones were too expensive and there were no vacant ones, and the cheap ones were not what he wanted.

Just when he was in a state of panic, someone stopped him when he passed by a teahouse.

"Mr. Cheng, my master wants you to speak to him in person."

Cheng Guanghan was feeling annoyed when he looked at the person in front of him. She was a young girl, and judging by her attire, she looked like a maid. However, the material of the clothes she wore was not cheap, and the jewelry on her head was also quite expensive.

She looks more precious than the young ladies from small families.

Cheng Guanghan suppressed his displeasure and asked, "Who are you? Who is your master?"

The little maid was not in a hurry. She took out a token and said, "Go up and talk."

When Cheng Guanghan saw the sign, his eyes lit up instantly. Although it only flashed for a moment, he saw it clearly.

His heart, which had been restless just now, was immediately filled with joy, and he followed the maid upstairs.

In the private room at the head, a woman was sitting behind a screen, sipping tea leisurely.

The maid turned around and said to Cheng Guanghan, "Stand here."

She walked around behind the screen and said, "Master, the people have arrived."

Cheng Guanghan couldn't see the woman's face clearly through the screen, but he intuitively felt that she must be very good-looking.

The woman did not speak immediately. After tasting the tea in the cup, she said lightly: "It is a little bland, not as good as the one at home."

The little maid nodded and said "yes."

The woman looked at Cheng Guanghan, and even through the screen, Cheng Guanghan could sense her gaze.

"Yes, Young Master Cheng is indeed a handsome man."

"I wonder why Madam asked me to come here..."

The woman seemed to smile: "I am here to give Master Cheng a good idea to solve his urgent problem."

Cheng Guanghan raised his eyebrows slightly: "Where did you get this from?"

"It starts with the fact that your Cheng family's cloth shop business is not doing well, so you want to cooperate with my Qiu family."

Cheng Guanghan's eyes narrowed slightly.

The woman was not surprised by his reaction and continued, "Why do you think the second steward chose you when there are so many cloth shops in Youcheng?"

Cheng Guanghan said nothing and just listened quietly.

"Your cloth has been sold out and your shop is gone, but that's nothing. I can rent you a bigger and better shop for free, which can be considered as a share of your business."

No rent required? Cheng Guanghan's eyes lit up.

"I usually won't show up, so you'll be in charge of the shop. Just let me check the accounts every month, and I'll arrange for someone to contact you when the time comes."

Cheng Guanghan bowed and said, "Cheng is indeed in some trouble. Madam's move really helped me get through the difficult times."

"I will definitely..."

The woman interrupted, "Don't be polite. I don't have too much money to spend. I'm not doing charity. I have conditions."

"What conditions?"

"Within a year, I want you to squeeze out the Qian family's cloth shop and clothing store."

Cheng Guanghan: “…”

"What? Master Cheng has no confidence?" The woman chuckled, with a hint of contempt in her tone, "I thought Master Cheng was a big shot, but I didn't expect he doesn't even have this much courage."

"see a visitor out!"

The maid came out and gestured for him to leave.

How could Cheng Guanghan give up this opportunity? "Don't worry, Madam. I can definitely do it! I didn't agree immediately, not because I was timid, but because I didn't want to agree rashly and deal with Madam hastily."

"The Qian family's shop is not an ordinary shop. They are wealthy and have always had good business. In addition, the styles of their ready-made clothes are very novel. Moreover, they seem to have a connection with the Zhennan Palace..."

"Of course I know," the woman's voice was filled with hatred, "That's why I want to destroy them!"

"Don't worry, I will definitely not let you take risks alone. I have already arranged spies at the clothing store. They will soon find out what is going on with their clothing. I will also send someone to find the tailor."

"If the Qian family can find the person, why can't I? When I find the person, I will offer a higher price than him. I don't believe that I can't get the person."

Cheng Guanghan was overjoyed: "Of course, in this secluded city, the only family that can compete with the Qian family is the Qiu family."

"It's good that you know it, so do it well. I won't treat you unfairly."

The woman waved her hand, and the maid said, "Please come in. Someone will take you to see the shop outside the door downstairs."

Cheng Guanghan bowed, thanked him, and turned to leave.

The maid returned to the screen and filled the woman's cup with tea. "Giving him the shop for free, isn't that too cheap for him? That's a prosperous shop that Master gave you."

"Originally I didn't want to do the winery business anymore, but this opportunity came up, so I let him use it."

Aunt Su stopped drinking tea: "Zhennan Palace harmed the Su family. Although they are only my distant relatives, this is also a slap in my face."

"When have I ever been so angry? How can I be willing to let this anger out?"

The maid whispered, "Should I keep an eye on him? The Cheng family is also greedy. I heard from the second steward that he has been asking for the remaining balance."

"Being greedy is good, but I'm afraid he won't be greedy," Aunt Su smiled contemptuously, "Greed is the motivation, and only then can you grow teeth and become a good dog."

"Once it's well, I'll go and bite the Zhennan Palace. If I tell him now, I'm afraid he'll be scared to death."

"You are wise."

"Tell the second butler that I won't pay him the balance. How can he really use my shop for nothing?"

"The cloth from their cloth shop is a little ugly, but the quality is still good. It's so cheap, even cheaper than buying grey cloth. If we ship it to outside the Great Wall, what do those rough people know? They can make a lot of money just by looking at the quality of the cloth."

The maid pursed her lips and smiled: "You are really good at business, the master praised you."

"Let's wait and see. If Cheng Guanghan can't do a good job, just replace him. There's nothing to worry about."

"Yes."

……

Cheng Guanghan had no idea about all this. He just thought that good days were coming. He was in high spirits and extremely proud. He passed by his old shop twice in one afternoon.

Bee Whistle noticed something was wrong and followed quietly from behind, quickly figuring out the route.

He immediately returned home to report to Yan Ruyu.

Yan Ruyu was in a good mood and just laughed it off when she heard about it.

"Qiu family? Aunt?" Yan Ruyu said lightly, "The surname is Su. This is to vent the anger of the Su family. How courageous."

"Don't pay any attention to her. I want to see what kind of trouble she can cause."

"Yes."

Yan Ruyu handed a note to Feng Shao: "You came at the right time. Send this to the snack shop and ask them to prepare these snacks for Cao's family tomorrow."

"Yes!"

Yan Ruyu thought that she would be able to meet Madam Shen tomorrow with the help of Madam Cao, but she didn't know what was going on with the pregnancy in Madam Shen's belly.
