Chapter 257 The long-lost title

Let’s not mention the outcome of the negotiation between the two, let’s just say that in the past four months, Fumantang’s business has almost plummeted.

If something like this happens to a restaurant, if the follow-up public opinion work is not done well, the customer base will naturally be lost quickly.

But Jiang Xian has no intention of doing public opinion work.

Since August, she has been wandering around the towns and counties near Linyi to collect the information she needs, leaving shopkeeper Luo alone in the same place and anxious.

It wasn't until early November, when Jiang Xian received a letter from Shopkeeper Luo for an unknown number of times, that Jiang Xian had someone send a message back.

After receiving the message, Shopkeeper Luo followed the instructions and went to the box where Jiang Xian usually stayed. As expected, he found two pieces of paper from the cabinet under the table.

——One piece of paper was given to him, and he was instructed to send the other piece of paper to Xie Wangmu's hands. He must hand it to Xie Wangmu himself, speak more fiercely and sincerely, and show a desperate posture.

And the other one...

The shopkeeper took a cursory look and his fingers were slightly stiff.

This is a letter asking for help. It describes Fumantang's difficulties in making ends meet these days. It bursts into tears, and the simple words reveal strong true feelings.

Regardless of why the boss had predicted Fumantang’s future predicament four months ago, or how sincere the letter was—

Just say——

The current situation is that the 90% profit they promised Xie Wangmu has been greatly reduced. Even if they don't ask for the difference from them, they will help them solve the problem?!

But no matter what kind of anxious questions he had, after all Jiang Xian was not in Linyi and communication took a long time, shopkeeper Luo could only do as he was told.

And Jiang Xian, who was expected to come back by Shopkeeper Luo, is currently doing research in Wendu County.

At night, outside an alley in Wendu County.

As soon as Jiang Xian stepped out of the door, a strong gust of wind hit her. She instinctively dodged it, but as soon as she turned around, she saw a young man with ordinary features walking from the darkness.

There was no expression on Ying Qi’s unforgettable face, which made his facial features even more ordinary: “Master said, if the girl competes with us for Lady Cui again, it won’t be as simple as a slap in the face next time.

"

Jiang Xian seemed to smile, and the cold tone almost blended into the silent night: "If you can do it, you can let your master try it."

Although she sounded arrogant, Ying Qi knew that she was not self-righteous.

Jiang Xian shouldn't be proficient in martial arts, but relying on her three-legged cat stance that was more than enough in skill but not in strength, she blatantly escaped from their men many times.

It was a little awkward at first, but now I'm doing it with ease.

If you want to ask why there is still a process

——It’s a coincidence.

Putinuo is big, but their people can always bump into Jiang Xian during this time.

Xiao Huaijing didn't have a good impression of Jiang Xian, and he once suspected that there was some kind of deliberate intention behind this coincidence, but unfortunately, after Ying Qi investigated, he found that it was indeed an extremely natural fate.

Although they met in the past, there was no conflict of interest and everything was fine.

It was not until the end of last month that Xiao Huaijing investigated many places for his crumbling silver building, and finally set his sights on the Huafu Building in Wendu County.

Huafu Tower's business is uniquely good in Wendu County. The most important reason is probably because of a lady named Cui.

It is said that Mrs. Cui's ancestors made gold, silver and jade for the royal family. However, she later settled in Wendu County due to unrest and settled here.

Whether the news is true or false remains to be seen, but Mrs. Cui is indeed unique in both design and craftsmanship.

Xiao Huaijing wanted to poach her away.

Jiang Xian also wants her.

A few days ago, Mrs. Cui finally relaxed, but the person she relaxed was Jiang Xian.

In the more than ten years after his parents passed away, Xiao Huaijing had hit the wall everywhere... He had been accustomed to this kind of situation, but this time he was unusually angry and his temples were beating for the first time in a long time.

Just like a fledgling boy who has suffered from depression, he suddenly feels unconvinced like a child.

He said: "Ms. Jiang's restaurant is almost on the verge of collapse. If we don't rush back to Linyi to deal with it now, why do we still want to stay here?"

Jiang Xian said: "It's a trivial matter. I can afford to spend another month waiting in Wendu County."

Her tone was calm, but her words were arrogant and arrogant, with the air of being determined to win.

Xiao Huaijing's head hurts.

Jiang Xian is upset because she refuses to let go, and she is upset that she has the chance to win.

He knew very well that he was really not a business material, and after several years of deployment, his shops could barely maintain a profit. However, his shady operations always required a lot of money.

If the banking crisis is not overcome this time, it will be even more stretched.

But no matter how helpless Xiao Huaijing was, Mrs. Cui finally accepted Jiang Xian.

The reason is also very simple.

Mrs. Cui's husband died early, leaving only a young son to depend on her.

And this son has been weird since he was born in his mother's womb - he doesn't cry when others cry; when he grows up, other people's children run wild, he doesn't even go out, he hides when he sees strangers, and occasionally has strange behaviors.

Weird and inappropriate actions.

He didn't speak much. If he couldn't simply express his request, Mrs. Cui would almost think that her son was still mute.

Some people say that this is because the three souls and six souls have lost a few flavors, but Mrs. Cui spent her energy and money searching for the Taoist priests, but it was of no use.

She had given up at first, but she didn't expect that after nearly ten years, she would still be able to wait for her son to say "Mother".

This alone is enough to make Mrs. Cui overjoyed. What's more, Jiang Xian also said that the disease can be cured, but it will take a long time.

The meaning is obvious, at least during this period of time, Jiang Xian wants Lady Cui to be used by her.

Lady Cui hesitated for a while, but agreed for the sake of her son.

Many people have come to see her over the years, but she has always been content with the status quo. She just wants to live a stable life with her young son, and has never been attracted by anything yellow or white.

But now that her youngest son's condition has improved, and he may be able to start a family and start a business normally in the future, Mrs. Cui decided to take this bold step.

Jiang Xian and Lady Cui have reached an agreement, but there are still some troubles to deal with later.

Not to mention how to get Huafu Tower to release people, Xiao Huaijing and Jiang Xian were not the only ones targeting Madam Cui.

Jiang Xian had been working all night to wrap up the show recently, so Xiao Huaijing relied on the news from his subordinates to watch the show.

One day, Ying Qi, who was sent to monitor Jiang Xian, followed him again. After waiting for a while without waiting for anyone, he returned to Xiao Huaijing to reply.

Xiao Huaijing was not surprised.

Listening to Ying Qi's narration, he leaned on the chair with frowning eyebrows and tapped the table with his fingertips, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a long while, he said: "Go back to Beijing and ask Cui Qingruo to come over."

The situation on Jiang Xian's side doesn't seem to be good. Lady Cui is the backbone of Huafu Tower, and Huafu Tower refuses to let her go. Now there is another wave of people interfering.

Xiao Huaijing thought with both joy and sigh, after all, she is a weak little girl. Lady Cui relented, but Jiang Xian may not be able to defend her.

The four words "weak in strength" indeed summed up Jiang Xian's current situation with a high degree of accuracy.

Jiang Xian, who had not closed his eyes for two nights, comforted Cui Niangzi, who was beginning to waver, and finally arrived at the inn where she was staying.

After entering the guest room and closing the door behind him, Jiang Xian slowly slid down the wall as if exhausted, feeling exhausted both physically and mentally.

She rubbed her brows wearily, and was still thinking about what kind of attitude and conditions she would use to negotiate with Huafu Tower, and how she would lead Lady Cui among the interference forces that had just squeezed in.

Escape properly without affecting future plans...

She doesn't have any trusted partners or subordinates around her, but a person's energy is limited after all.

Before he could figure out the reason, fatigue came over him in waves. Jiang Xian didn't even have the strength to get up and walk to the bed, and his eyelids closed heavily while he was unconscious.

The temperature in November was already very low, and wisps of air-conditioning came out from the ground of the inn. When she woke up again, she didn't know whether she was awakened by the cold, or whether she still had a vigilant line of defense in her heart.

Jiang Xian heard footsteps outside. They were so light that she would never have felt them if she hadn't been leaning against the door.

She held her breath and concentrated, but the footsteps did not come here, but went to the guest room next door.

This isn't right.

Her animal instinct made her feel prying.

But after the other party did enter the guest room next door, there was no movement at all.

Even though she was sure that no one would be coming for a while, Jiang Xian still didn't go back to sleep after waking up. She got up and lit a candle, spread tissue paper on the table, and the tip of the pen dipped in ink fell on the paper, and dark flowers bloomed.

The dim candlelight of Xiwei cast a layer of mist in the guest room.

Finally, with the sound of the door opening, the person next door came over.

The other party was very polite and knocked on the door three times, gently and not hard.

Jiang Xian didn't want to pay attention, but the man knocked on the door in a gentle but persistent manner, showing that she wouldn't give up until she opened the door.

She finally opened the door expressionlessly.

The person who entered the room was a teenage girl. She was dressed simply but not casually. Her orange dress made her features lively and lively. She stood there quietly, adding a bit of romance to the quiet inn at night.

Cui Qingruo said with a smile: "I saw the light shining through my sister's side, so I came over to take a look. Didn't it disturb my sister's sleep?"

She looked obviously older than Jiang Xian, but she called her sister sweetly. The long-lost title easily pulled Jiang Xian's thoughts away.

But soon Jiang Xian realized that this was all an illusion, and his expression instantly returned to his usual indifference.

"Is something wrong?"

As if Cui Qingruo didn't feel Jiang Xian's concern, she squeezed into the guest room, found a place to sit down, and said cheerfully: "Sister, do you want to talk?"

Her smile was like a mask, and her eyes were sparkling.
