In the next few days, Li Ling felt that he seemed to have returned to the environment after the college entrance examination. The candidates in the inn all showed a state of relaxation, anxiety and confusion, and deep expectation. He was only waiting for the list to be announced in a few days and told everyone about the results of this college entrance examination.

However, Li Ling only maintained this emotion for a day. By April 19th, he forced himself not to think about these things anymore. After all, he had already taken the exams, and it was impossible to change the results no matter how much he thought about them. In order to stop thinking about these things, he decided to go out for a walk, such as going to see the shop that has been customized as Zongheng Bookstore and see how it is ready there.

But before he could go out, Wan Lang came to the door first. At this time, Mr. Wan lost his calm look as if he had been determined in everything before. His face was depressed and his eyebrows were frowning. As soon as he saw Li Ling, he said, "Brother Li, do you have time today? If you have free time, please follow me to the house to meet the old man."

"Hmm? Is this what your family means?" Li Ling raised his eyebrows and then asked again, "But it has something to do with our bookstore?"

"It's really hidden from you. To be honest, the matter of the bookstore has indeed been hindered, so I'd rather think things are simple. In this way, you go home with me and we'll talk while walking." Wan Lang's face became more and more ugly, and he pulled Li Ling's hand with some eagerness.

Li Ling could only nod and gave a brief explanation to Xu Cang who heard the sound, and walked out with him. There was a carriage waiting outside the store, and Li Ling was not polite. After following Wan Lang, he got in. As soon as he sat down, the carriage had already moved forward. The speed continued to speed up, but it was steady and there was no bump.

This reminded Li Ling of the scene when he came to the capital city, and couldn't help but praise: "Your coachman is quite amazing, he is really fast and stable."

"Uncle Zhong has been driving a car for my family for more than 20 years, so he is naturally very stable." Wan Lang answered casually, but his eyebrows were not stretched. When Li Ling saw it, he smiled and said, "Now you can tell me what trouble you have encountered."

"What else can I have? Isn't it just that the third room is obstructing it!" Wan Lang said angrily, "Wan Mang didn't know where to know the news, and then he picked the matter up to my father and others, which made me not only blame me for making a fool of myself, but also wanted to force me to cancel the opening of the bookstore."

Li Ling still looked casual, but his eyes were fixed on the face of Gang: "Actually, there is one thing I have wanted to ask you long ago, that is, why did you have such thoughts and actually want to compete with your brothers. Even if those three rooms are not in the same relationship with you, they will not be so quarrel, right?"

"Hmph, do you think I want to compete with them in this way? Didn't they bully me first before I thought about fighting back and disgusting them?"

After pausing for a while, Wan Lang said again: "Actually, after meeting you, I wanted to start from elsewhere and make some money. After careful visits, I found that the cloth business in our city is very good, so I can give it a try."

"Well, compared to books that only literate people can read, this cloth is indeed easier to buy and sell. Moreover, there are several famous good cloths in Hengzhou Prefecture, such as jute silk cloth and indigo blue cloth..."

Seeing that Li Ling had such a deep understanding of the local cloth situation, Wan Lang was stunned. Then he remembered that he had worked in the county government office before, and he was in charge of household housing. Naturally, he was relieved. He said again: "But this cloth company is like other industries in our city, and there are also people who control more than 80% of the transactions, that is, the Tao family, which is comparable to my Wan family. I originally had a plan to fight with him, even if I really lost, I would not complain. But I didn't expect..." Speaking of this, he looked depressed and gritted his teeth.

Li Ling understood and said, "But your third wife cheated you in this matter?"

"Yes! I was not wary of them at all, which led to them knowing the cost of my batch of cloth. Then the Tao family lowered the price, causing me to pay hundreds of taels of silver! In fact, it is a small matter to pay off the money. What I cannot accept the most is that the third house actually plotted against me at this critical moment. I can't stand this tone!"

Li Ling did not ask him how he knew that it was the news that the third wife had exposed. I guess he must have had conclusive evidence that he said this. This made him sigh that this is not good for the big family. There are always open and secret struggles between various departments. If you are not careful, you may be stabbed in the back.

"So you thought of simply opening a bookstore, competing for business with them, and taking revenge on them?"

"Yes, they are doing the first day of the junior high school, so don't blame me for being the fifteenth!" Wan Lang said hatefully, "I just didn't expect that before my store was opened, they learned the news, and then found my father's place and forced me to stop."

"What does that have to do with me?"

"Don't I ask for the old man? As long as he is willing to nod, my father and others will naturally have nothing to say. Then the old man asked me what his plan was. After knowing that it was you and me, he asked me to invite you to meet you at home." As he said that, Wan Lang sighed again, "If you want to say that, the old man praised you very much. I haven't praised you so much for many years. At least I didn't hear him value someone so much."

"That's really flattering. But the question is, why does he value me so much? Did you say something in front of him?"

"Isn't it just that you mentioned the several levels of the Shang realm you mentioned, and then the old man felt that you were not simple and made me closer to you. Of course, even without his reminder, I would like to make friends with you. It is rare for people as interesting as you."

"That's just some personal insights, and it's not easy to see the Fang family's Dharma."

"Don't be humble. The old man highly praised your so-called businessman realm. He always said that if you are younger, you will definitely cooperate with you to truly do something for our Great Yue and the people of the world."

Li Ling was not easy to answer for a moment, so he could only smile. Fortunately, the carriage slowly stopped at this time, and the voice of the coachman outside also came in: "Young Master Jiu, it's here."

"Let's get off the car and meet the old man. Brother Li, can our Zongheng Bookstore be opened? It's really up to you this time." Wan Lang immediately bowed to Li Ling and said seriously.

Li Ling smiled bitterly, and then said, "I can only say do my best." The big words before were just a fool. Compared with the old and old businessmen who have fought in the mall for many years, he is still too young. But he is not too scared. After all, he has hundreds of years of knowledge reserves and various commercial means to teach lessons from the other party, but he is not worse than him. Following Wan Lang got off the car and found that he was in a huge house like a community. The bluestone path was covered with flowers and plants. At this moment, he was thriving. With the surrounding buildings, he immediately gave people a sense of relaxed and pleasant pleasure.

Just looking at the scenery arrangement here, Li Ling looked at the Wan family a few more times. They had no vulgarity as nouveau riche businessmen, and they also exuded a magical atmosphere that cleverly combined the two atmospheres of intimacy and solemnity, making people dare not be too presumptuous when they were in it, but at the same time they were still happy.

The two walked through the three-entry courtyard and finally arrived at a small courtyard with more ancient and creeping walls. At this moment, there was a gray-haired old man waiting in front of the small moon gate. When they saw them coming, they smiled and greeted: "Mr. Jiu, have you brought Mr. Li here?"

"Yes, Grandpa You, this is Li Ling. Brother Li, he has been with the old man for nearly 60 years. I call him Grandpa You." At this point, Wan Lang became much more disciplined, and even the little resentment he had before had disappeared.

"I've seen Master You." Li Ling did not dare to underestimate this old servant, and hurriedly bowed to salute. The other party quickly stepped forward to support him: "Young Master Li is so old, I'm just a slave in the family, not worth mentioning. By the way, the master is already waiting for you inside, so I'll just take care of you." As he said that, he turned sideways and asked.

Li Ling clasped his fists at him again, and then he entered the door one after another, followed the gravel path, and soon arrived at a rather bright hall. When he saw an old man in the gray cloth was half lying on a bamboo chair in the middle, with white hair and staring at his eyes, as if he was sleeping, and he looked like an ordinary old farmer in the countryside.

"Old man, grandson brings Li Ling to see you." Seeing that he had no reaction, Wan Lang shouted, his voice quite loudly.

This made the old man inside move a little, and said, "It's Xiaojiu here, come in and talk." He wanted to get up, but he was old and weak, so he really couldn't get up for a while. Fortunately, Wan Lang had already come in, and saw this and quickly stepped forward and carefully helped the old man up. Li Ling, who came in, saw the door, could see clearly the whole picture of the old man.

A wrinkled, old face like a dried orange peel, with half of the withered white hair, her mouth was also weak. Obviously, her teeth were not left, and her beard was not much left, but it was all white. Just looking at her face, she was just a silly old man, which really made it difficult to connect him with the identity of the head of the Wan family.

But Li Ling did not dare to be negligent, because the other party looked at him but there was no blur, and it was still flashing with light. So he immediately bent down and saluted: "Li Ling met Mr. Wan after the last school student. You are in good health."

The old man laughed: "It turns out that Mr. Li is here. There is no need to be polite. Come and sit down and talk. Xiaojiu, you should sit down together. It was because the old man thought of meeting you, a young man who can tell the third level of merchants, came. Now he saw that he was really young and promising."

"The old man praised it, I am ashamed of you."
