"Then do you want me to go down and take them..." Xu Sheng made a gesture of wiping his neck.
Chen Jinjun shook his head nonchalantly and blew the tea in his hand: "Don't worry about it, we don't covet anything from the Huo family. The Huo family doesn't have much money that I like. If I can't afford it, it's not worth it."
Xu Sheng nodded.
On the side, Shen Xiaoxiao helped Chen Jinjun comb his hair down behind his back and said, "Don't worry, boss, I'm keeping an eye on you."
Shen Xiaoxiao was able to keep a brothel like Yuchunlou in perfect order. There were only a dozen servants in this small courtyard, which was more than enough for her.
Chen Jinjun nodded: "Okay, then you should pay more attention."
After saying that, she continued to sit there, her eyes passing over the courtyard gate diagonally in front of her intentionally or unintentionally, as if she was waiting for something.
Xu Sheng looked back curiously. There was nothing unusual at the courtyard gate. He could only ask: "What are you waiting for?"
Chen Jinjun put the tea cup in his hand on the table beside him: "Where are we now?"
"The Huo family." Xu Sheng's mind couldn't turn around for a while.
"I must be waiting for someone from the Huo family." Chen Jinjun gave him a teasing look.
Xu Sheng knew that he had made a mistake, so he simply stood aside and said nothing.
After waiting for a while, Master Huo's figure stood at the courtyard gate.
At this moment, Xu Sheng felt that his boss was really a god.
The master happily bowed his hand to Chen Jinjun: "Mr. Zhang has met Miss Chen."
Chen Jinjun also stood up and greeted me with a smile: "I don't dare to call you miss, but I'm used to everyone calling me boss."
"That means I've met Dong Chen's family." Master Zhang still had the usual kind and humble smile on his face.
Chen Jinjun waved his hand, and a maid came to show the master tea.
"Come, master, please have a taste. This is the Yuqian Longjing just harvested this year."
The master's eyes rolled, did he consider himself the master here?
But he still had a look of surprise on his face, his eyes were bright and he said to Chen Jinjun with great interest: "Good stuff, thank you, Mr. Chen."
Chen Jinjun watched the master drink the tea and put down the cup. Knowing that he wanted to talk about business first, he asked him straight to the point: "It's only been half a day. What's the matter with master coming to see me?"
Seeing that Chen Jinjun was so understanding, the master slapped his thigh suddenly: "Didn't the commander-in-chief ask me to invite you? He said that he saw the letter you sent before and wanted to discuss it with you, my boss."
"Oh?" Chen Jinjun raised his eyebrows with an interested look on his face.
In fact, she felt from the bottom of her heart that Huo Tingyu was a little too impatient about this matter, but it also confirmed the suspicion that the Huo family's funds were indeed running low.
The master also knew that this matter might be too urgent, but if this matter was not discussed as soon as possible, Chen Jinjun would have achieved his goal of entering the Huo family, but the Huo family would get nothing.
But the master has always been tactful, and at least he said it very beautifully: "Look... do you have time now to go to the council hall with me?"
In fact, Chen Jinjun wished he could settle it as soon as possible, so that he could use the Huo family's name to run the Chen family's business more quickly.
But she still had to pretend to be flawless on the surface, and said with some embarrassment: "There is time, but this is unavoidable..."
To be fair, she knew that the master was a smart man.
Sure enough, the master immediately handed her the steps: "It's okay, it's okay, it will be the same one day in the morning and one day in the evening. This is not a trivial matter. You should think more about it."
Immediately afterwards, a look of embarrassment appeared on the master's face: "Then you can set a time. I have to reply to the commander here. Do you think... tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?"
Old fox.
Chen Jinjun understood that the master was forcing her to settle the matter within these three days. On the surface, he asked her to set the time by herself, but in fact, he said that he wanted her to arrange the matter within these three days.
Already.
"Well... let's do it tomorrow. I'm a little tired these days. I still have to trouble you all to come to my place to talk tomorrow." Chen Jinjun had already asked the accountant to prepare the funds she could use, and deliberately delayed
One day, I still had the intention of fishing for the Huo family.
After receiving the accurate information, the master immediately stopped drinking tea and stood up, clasping his fists to say goodbye: "Then I'll go back and give you a reply first. If you feel uncomfortable somewhere, just ask someone to tell me."
"Master, you're welcome, Huo Mansion, that's very good." Chen Jinjun also stood up and returned the greeting, deliberately emphasizing the very good tone.
The master pretended not to hear what she said and thanked her cheerfully: "I'm sorry for the poor hospitality. Thank you for your kindness."
Chen Jinjun nodded meaningfully: "Xu Sheng, send Master off for me."
Xu Sheng sent the master to the door and watched the master's back disappear completely on the path of Huo Mansion before he turned back.
Here, Chen Jinjun thought for a while and then ordered him: "Go to the accounting room and tell the gentlemen that you will discuss business with the Huo family at noon tomorrow."
She turned to look at Shen Xiaoxiao again: "Let the chef prepare a banquet of the highest standard. Tomorrow we will invite Marshal Huo to taste the taste of the capital."
Even if you rely on others, you can't lose the initiative.
Chen Jinjun took a sip of tea and narrowed his eyes in enjoyment like a cat basking in the sun.
On the other hand, the master left Chen Jinjun and went directly to Huo Tingyu to tell Chen Jinjun that he would discuss the matter in his yard the next day.
Huo Tingyu frowned and felt a little unhappy, but he didn't say anything more. He just nodded to show that he understood.
"Master, what we need is not a small amount. Can Dong Chen's family really get it?" Master is still a little worried that Chen Jinjun is playing tricks on them.
"My boss?" Huo Tingyu repeated the master's name to Chen Jinjun.
The master immediately reacted and explained: "Everyone around her calls her boss."
Huo Tingyu nodded: "She said she did, so we won't allow her not to."
He closed the official document in his hand with a deep look in his eyes: "If it is true, then what qualifications does Chen Jinjun have to be in the Huo family and Yongzhou?"
"That's what you said." The master immediately agreed.
As for Chen Jinjun, Shen Xiaoxiao was also a little worried.
"My boss, what if this lion of the Huo family opens his mouth?"
Chen Jinjun knew what he was thinking: "I will ask the accountant to check the Huo family's military expenditures over the years. He wants me to be taken advantage of. Huo Tingyu is still young."
"I've heard these days that Yongzhou has abundant troops and even has guns and ammunition." Shen Xiaoxiao looked worried. There is no upper limit on the price of guns and ammunition bought from foreigners.
"It is a good thing that Yongzhou has enough troops. If Huo Tingyu really dares to guarantee that Yongzhou can always be safe and free from war, the money spent on raising his troops will go back to our pockets."
The only thing Chen Jinjun is unsure about now is war. Once this thing appears, it will be a disaster for both Huo Tingyu and her.
"So, I asked the accountant to sort out so much money, what do you think it was for?" She asked Shen Xiaoxiao with a smile.
Shen Xiaoxiao also knew that he was worrying too much, so he smiled and shook his head.
