Don't disturb me, I won't be a concubine

Chapter 572: Lure her into the trap

Dong Jiafu got off the bus on another street near Mingxiang Teahouse.

In order to ensure her safety, Dong Jialin discussed with her in advance and arranged people around the teahouse. If she didn't come out for more than half an hour, he would lead people to rush in.

Dong Jiafu came to Mingxiang Teahouse with her head lowered and a timid look on her face.

The shopkeeper saw her standing still at the door and came over to ask, "Sir, are you here for tea?"

There were not many customers in the teahouse at this hour, only a few scattered around.

"I, I made an appointment with your boss..." Dong Jiafu deliberately acted a little nervous.

The shopkeeper showed a surprised expression, "Could it be that you are the famous 'Future Guest'?"

Dong Jiafu nodded silently.

"I can't believe you wrote those pages." The shopkeeper looked at her curiously, but also with suspicion.

In order to prove that she was the person they were looking for, Dong Jiafu took out the invitation that was handed to her.

After the shopkeeper read the invitation, his doubts disappeared. "Sir, please come this way. Our boss has been waiting in the private room upstairs for a long time."

Dong Jiafu followed him upstairs, secretly delighted in her heart. This shopkeeper had seen her before, and since he didn't recognize her, it meant that she had acted well and didn't reveal any flaws.

After going upstairs, the shopkeeper knocked on a door.

"Boss, the person you are waiting for is here."

"Come in." Someone inside said.

Just one word made Dong Jiafu's body stiffen. The person behind Mingxiang Teahouse was actually a woman!

The shopkeeper pushed open the door and said, "Sir, please come in."

Dong Jiafu walked in with her eyes downcast and heard the door close behind her.

"It is my honor to have the talented and mysterious 'future guest' here. Sir, please feel free to take a seat."

This voice...

Dong Jiafu's mood at this moment was no longer shocking enough. She raised her eyes slightly, and the face of the person in front of her met the person she was thinking of.

It’s her, Qin Fangsui!

Dong Jiafu tried her best to remain calm and walked over to sit down opposite her.

"The young master is completely different from what I imagined." Qin Fangsui was also observing her.

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, my family has fallen into poverty. I took the imperial examination but failed. I can only make a living by writing storybooks."

"I didn't expect that you are also a pitiful person."

Qin Fangsui understood that this person was short of money. No wonder he came to her as soon as she spread the word. This was good. She would be more confident about what to do next.

"Sir, you asked to meet me. Do you have any other requests?"

Dong Jiafu said according to her plan: "I can write a storybook for the boss, but I also want to continue writing for Mr. Dong. I wonder if the boss can agree to it?"

"No," Qin Fangsui refused directly. "Let me tell you the truth. I admire the books you write, but making money is secondary to hiring you. My main goal is to make Mingxin Teahouse and Haolin Bookstore unable to continue their business and close them down completely!"

The moment Dong Jiafu saw that Qin Fangsui was the person behind Mingxiang Teahouse, she knew that they were targeting her, and her second brother's teahouse and bookstore were also implicated by her.

So after hearing Qin Fangsui personally admit her true purpose, Dong Jiafu was not too surprised.

The drama has to go on. Since she wants to ruin the second brother's business so much, why not use a trick on her and let her lose more than she gains? She has a lot of money, so she can make some money from her.

Dong Jiafu looked incredulous and embarrassed. "Boss Dong once helped me when I was in the most difficult time. I feel so sorry for him by doing this..."

"How much money did you earn for him from the books you wrote? Even if he helped you, that money was enough to repay his kindness. Did he increase your salary for the new books you wrote?"

Dong Jiafu shook her head.

"Look, he's just using you. If a man doesn't work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. He's a businessman. He can use you to make money, so why can't you abandon him for your livelihood?"

She really has a good eloquence, and she can describe ingratitude in such a fresh and refined way. Dong Jiafu secretly mocked in her heart and pretended to struggle for a while.

"As long as the boss agrees to one condition, I will listen to you and the book I write in the future will only be given to you."

Qin Fangsui was delighted when she heard this, knowing that she could persuade him. If he was really the kind of person who would repay a favor, he would not have come here to see her.

"You said, as long as I can do it, I will satisfy you."

"Five times. I want five times the silver I have now."

"You, what did you say?!" Qin Fangsui opened her eyes wide in disbelief. She really underestimated this man. He looked honest and dull, but in fact he was greedy!

"If it embarrasses the boss, then forget it. We'll just pretend we haven't met today. It will also save me from feeling bad and being ashamed to face Boss Dong in the future." Dong Jiafu pretended to leave.

"Wait a minute!" Qin Fangsui stopped her and asked an important question, "How much money did Boss Dong give you for writing a storybook?"

"One hundred taels."

One hundred taels, five times that is five hundred taels. Qin Fangsui frowned. This amount was far beyond her expectations.

Dong Jiafu looked at her quietly, and after a while she said, "If the boss has nothing else to do, I'll take my leave first."

Seeing her stand up, Qin Fangsui said with a hard heart: "I promise you, I will give you 500 taels of silver for each storybook. You must promise not to write for others, and write one for me within a month."

As long as she can destroy the Dong family's business, she will pay the money!

Great, the fish is hooked.

Dong Jiafu stopped and turned around. "If the boss is willing to pay, I won't write for anyone else, but the deadline of one month is too tight..."

Qin Fangsui closed her eyes and suppressed her anger. "Tell me, what do you want me to do in order to write it?"

"If the boss can pay me two hundred taels of silver first, I promise to finish it in one month and give it to you."

“Okay.” At this point, Qin Fangsui could only agree and called the shopkeeper to get the silver.

The two were waiting in the private room, but they didn't know that a nimble figure followed the shopkeeper to the door without anyone noticing.

The shopkeeper was holding a box, which contained two hundred taels of silver that he had managed to collect with great difficulty, including silver bills, silver ingots, and some small change.

"Boss, the silver is here."

"Send it in."

The moment the shopkeeper pushed open the door, the figure entered the room before him.

At this moment, the four of them were all stunned.

The shopkeeper was the first to react, and he quickly ran over to block Qin Fangsui, "Boss, don't be afraid—"

The shopkeeper held the box of silver in one hand and pointed at the intruder with the other.

"Where did you come from, you wild girl? This is not the place for you to enter. Get out now!"

Qin Fangsui stretched out her hand and pushed the shopkeeper, "Put down the silver and get out."

The shopkeeper turned around in surprise and said, "Boss, this person..."

"I told you to go out, so just go out--" Qin Fangsui raised her voice impatiently.

The shopkeeper quickly put the box on the table and hurried out.
