I am the stepmother of my son, and the little villain has changed into a little cotton-padded jacket

Pei Sheng looked up when he heard the voice, stopped pouring tea, and looked at the woman in front of him carefully with his narrow eyes.

"This must be Madam Wen, right? I've long heard of your name. My name is Pei Sheng." He spoke with a smile and a gentle voice, making people feel inexplicably close to him.

Wen Shutang still had a faint smile on her face, and nodded slightly to Pei Sheng, saying, "You're joking. I'm just an ordinary peasant woman, but I often hear the name of Master Pei."

Pei Sheng smiled lightly and pushed the hot tea in his hand in front of Wen Shutang: "Madam Wen, don't be modest. Everyone knows the perfume in your hand. Not only Pei, but other families are also very interested in perfume."

Wen Shutang sat in front of him, took the teacup and took a sip. His expression did not change when he heard this: "They are just some small things. They can attract people temporarily but cannot guarantee long-term effects."

Song Zhoubai sat beside Pei Sheng and poured himself a cup of tea, smiling: "That's not right. The ladies and ladies of the Beijing family are relying on this perfume now, so how can it not last long?"

Wen Shutang didn't say anything, but just looked up at Pei Sheng.

When Pei Sheng heard what Wen Shutang said, a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes. The woman in front of him was indeed no ordinary person.

When doing business, the most taboo thing is to just stick to one product. If you want to keep it going for a long time, you need to constantly come up with new ideas so that you can keep winning people's hearts.

"Mrs. Wen is indeed smart." His tone contained admiration for Wen Shutang.

"Thank you for the compliment. It's just my opinion." Wen Shutang picked up the teacup and smiled.

"A Sheng will be staying in Qingshui Town for a few days recently. It just so happens that you two are here today, so I might as well let you two meet. With your talents, there will definitely be opportunities for you to do business together in the future." Song Zhoubai said with a smile.

Wen Shutang raised his eyebrows, and when he heard this, he suddenly understood what Song Zhoubai meant. This man was paving the way for his future.

No wonder they are so willing to share the opportunity to make money.

Perhaps noticing Wen Shutang's gaze, Song Zhoubai touched his nose uncomfortably and shifted his gaze from her to Pei Sheng who was silent beside him.

"Isn't that right, A-Sheng?"

Pei Sheng still looked as gentle as jade. He smiled and nodded: "Yes, this time, in addition to business matters, it is indeed partly because of Madam Wen."

"So, Mr. Pei also wants to get a piece of the pie?" Wen Shutang's gaze also fell on Pei Sheng.

I thought he would agree, but unexpectedly Pei Sheng shook his head and said, "No, my family knows nothing about the spice business, so it would be useless even if I got involved. I took the liberty of meeting Madam Wen today just to get to know her, and I hope we can have the opportunity to cooperate in other areas in the future."

Pei Sheng said with a smile. He stood up and took off the carved jade pendant from his waist. "This is a token of my Pei family. To show my appreciation, I will give it to Madam Wen today. If Madam Wen goes to Baiping Town or any place with a Pei family shop in the future, she can take out this jade pendant. Seeing this jade pendant is like seeing Pei in person. They will all give Madam Wen the help she needs."

After hearing what he said, not only Wen Shutang was stunned, but even Song Zhoubai showed a look of astonishment.

This jade pendant was a personal item of the young master of the Pei family, and he would not give it away easily. How could Pei Sheng be so rash? He actually gave the jade pendant to Wen Shutang, whom he had only met once?

Song Zhoubai was speechless, not knowing what to say for a moment, and his eyes looked at Wen Shutang with a bit of complexity. It seemed that there was something about this woman that Pei Sheng was particularly concerned about.

Wen Shutang was stunned for a moment, his eyes fell on the exquisite jade pendant. The carvings were vivid, and there was a small "Pei" character in the lower right corner. Even a layman who didn't know much about jade could see that the jade pendant was of great value.

Pei Sheng actually wanted to give her such a valuable item?

"This item is too valuable. It is inappropriate for me to accept it. I already know Mr. Pei's intentions. If there is an opportunity for cooperation in the future, I will definitely think of you two first. There is no need for this thing." Wen Shutang had a faint smile on his face, and his tone was gentle but not refusal-proof. He had no intention of accepting it.

Hearing Wen Shutang's words, Pei Sheng's face did not show any surprise. He took the jade pendant back and said, "Madam Wen is frank. I admire you."

He was actually testing Wen Shutang just now. Although this jade pendant was very similar to the one he wore, it was not a real jade pendant. If Wen Shutang had shown a trace of greed just now, Pei Sheng would have given up the idea of ​​cooperating with Wen Shutang without hesitation.

But Pei Sheng was somewhat surprised by her frank and resolute look. Just now, she rejected his jade pendant almost immediately without any hesitation. Based on her frank nature, Pei Sheng had already recognized Wen Shutang's character.

Wen Shutang noticed the expression on his face and immediately understood what he meant. When he thought about how he had just been tested, his face turned slightly cold.

"Master Pei is a little too worried. As the saying goes, don't employ a person you doubt, and don't doubt a person you employ. You shouldn't use such means to test me."

Song Zhoubai also reacted after hearing this, and looked at the jade pendant on Pei Sheng's waist and carefully examined it, only to find that it was a little different from the jade pendant he usually wore. He immediately understood what Pei Sheng meant.

"I'm really sorry. I've seen too many people with evil intentions. I have no choice but to test you like this. Please don't be upset, Madam Wen." Pei Sheng stood up, bowed to Wen Shutang, and explained sincerely.

He is the eldest son of the Pei family. There are too many villains who want to get on the big tree of the Pei family, so he has to be on guard.

Song Zhoubai also explained: "Yes, Madam Wen, Ah Sheng is in a big family, it is too easy for him to be targeted by villains, so it is understandable that he did such a thing."

He looked at Wen Shutang nervously, carefully studying the expression on her face, fearing that she might be unhappy and reject Pei Sheng directly.

Wen Shutang pursed his lips and looked at the expressions of the two, then shook his head: "It's okay, I understand, Master Pei, there is no need to be so polite."

Although it was really uncomfortable to be tested by others, it was understandable to think about it from Pei Sheng's perspective. Born as a young master of a large family, he had to face the problem of competing for the position of the head of the family, so it was understandable that he was suspicious.

What's more, Pei Sheng is the future imperial merchant. Even if she is unhappy, she will not take the initiative to reject the olive branch thrown by Pei Sheng.

Maybe in the future we will have to rely on Pei Sheng's power.
