"Since everything has been settled, I won't bother you any more."
In the Zhao Mansion, Lu Yao saw that everything had been settled, so he did not plan to stay any longer. After all, he had to go to the Han Mansion today. Zhao Huxin said that Lu Yao was also a straightforward person, and he was in business.
This was the first time in so many years that such a big deal could be negotiated in one meeting. It had to be said that the price Lu Yao offered him was really something that he couldn't refuse.
"Well, Mr. Lu, walk slowly."
Zhao Hu sent Lu Yao, Chen Chen and Tang Xi outside the house and watched them leave.
Back in the main hall, the housekeeper asked Zhao Hu if he wanted to tell boss Pan Yuanwu what happened today. This suggestion was immediately rejected by Zhao Hu. Zhao Hu said that the business of this hot pot restaurant is actually not too big compared to Fan Lou.
Conflict, and the price Lu Yao gave him was almost catching up with the price Fan Lou gave him on weekdays. In addition, although these people under him would go to Lu Yao's exclusive area to do things in the later period,
, but Zhao Hu did not intend to save the fixed amount of money they had to pay every month (similar to paying taxes), so in fact, this deal was very cost-effective, and Zhao Hu felt that Lu Yao must have thought about the people below.
The reason why he didn't say no to handing over the money was because he wanted Zhao Hu to make more money.
What Zhao Hu didn't expect was that when the two meat cutters left, Tangxi secretly came to them and said that in the future, all those who were responsible for the exclusive area of Luyao Hotpot would need to hand it over to Zhao every month.
Hu's money will be included in their wages and paid to them. Lu Yao only used this trick, which was enough to win people's hearts.
Zhao Hu then ordered the housekeeper to start setting up the exclusive supply area for Lu Yao Hot Pot Restaurant. In addition, he also had to personally inspect and select three or four people who were willing to go to this area to do good work in the future.
After receiving such a large sum of money from someone else, he naturally wanted to help him out, and Zhao Hu had to personally check the candidates.
As for Lu Yao, after leaving Zhao Mansion, the next destination was Han Mansion. However, Lu Yao felt a headache when he thought about what happened before, so he decided to walk to Han Mansion. As for Chen Chen,
I also want to go home, in the same direction as Lu Yao and the others, and walk with Lu Yao all the way.
As Lu Yao walked, he recalled the conversation he had just had with Zhao Hu. I have to say that talking about cooperation with Zhao Hu was much easier than the previous contacts with Zhang Maocai and Pan Yuanwu. Zhao Hu was a straightforward person, although he also had the characteristics of a businessman.
He is good at calculation, but he is not like Pan Yuanwu, who has to go through everything in his mind and consider it carefully before answering. Zhao Hu is the kind of person who is interested in himself as long as he sees something profitable.
The advantage is that he is a very interested businessman. Lu Yao is very willing to cooperate with such a person, happily and without any detours. If it were Pan Yuanwu, maybe the cooperation price Lu Yao just gave him would not be able to get it, and he would definitely have to cooperate with himself
Bargaining.
On the other side, Lu Yao was also very satisfied with the two meat cutters he had just chosen. They were skilled in knife skills and looked like honest workers. As long as they were given adequate wages, the quality of the meat would be improved.
There is no problem.
"You can help me keep an eye on it. When they find a special supply place for us, I will go and see it in person to check the quality of the meat. I will also give some other methods of cutting meat to these two masters.
"Lu Yao said to Tang Xi beside him.
Tang Xi nodded, and then said: "There are also several other people Zhao Hu wants to select for us, those who are responsible for supplying sewage supplies, including cleaning and processing. We also need to examine them." Lu Yao said: "Well.
, I am not too worried about the selection of people. Zhao Hu is very meticulous in his work. If you think about it, Fan Lou has been cooperating with them for so many years. In fact, he can definitely find two or three trustworthy people to specialize in
He is responsible for keeping an eye on the supply of food ingredients to Fan Lou, but he still checks it in person. This shows that he still attaches great importance to big customers like Pan Yuanwu. I think the money I gave him will also
I can make him take it seriously. As long as the character of the people he has chosen is good, I can teach them the rest."
After saying this, Lu Yao turned his attention to Chen Chen again and said, "How about it? You just went to the backyard to watch the Tigers training. How did you feel?"
Chen Chen said: "Because they are not on the field, I can only see them doing some physical endurance training. Regarding tactics, I think Yang Tao will not reveal it to me because of my relationship with Pan Wen."
Lu Yao thought of Yang Tao's performance just now and said: "Yang Tao always seems to be incompatible with others. It seems that everyone is his enemy and is very cold towards everyone. However, being able to have such an attitude shows that
He is also very confident about the strength of the Tigers."
Chen Chen said: "Yes, I just took a look and I think Pan Wen's Fanlou team should have a hard fight in this first game. Yang Tao is a person with a strong desire to win, and the Tigers
The team members were selected by Pan Wen, so..."
"It's okay, don't worry about Pan Wen," Lu Yao knew that Chen Chen was a little worried. It would be very sad if both his grassroots team and Pan Wen's Fanlou team were eliminated in the first round.
"I believe Pan Wen, his Fan Lou team is still very strong."
Chen Chen also nodded. Since Lu Yao has confidence in Pan Wen, he should also believe in him.
The three of them walked for a while, and Chen Chen was about to separate from them. Before leaving, he once again expressed his gratitude to Lu Yao. Because of Lu Yao, although his father is now a little old, he can still be regarded as
He found a living, and now he should be running a food court in the outer city. Lu Yao laughed it off. Overall, he left it to Chen Chen's father to build the first one and asked him to find someone he could trust, Lu Yao.
The best way to avoid risks.
After saying goodbye to Chen Chen, Lu Yao and Tang Xi continued to move towards Han Mansion.
In fact, Tang Xi still felt a little regretful at this time. He still felt that the reason why Lu Yao went to the Han Mansion today and spoke to the Han family in an apologetic manner was because of himself. If it hadn't been for his previous
If he made a mistake, Lu Yao would never have to go through this.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Tangxi was about to say something, but Lu Yao waved his hand to Tangxi and said, "After going to the Han Mansion, let's go to the Cao Mansion. After all, the Han family is not the only one who was mistakenly ordered before. What do you think?"
Tangxi looked at Lu Yao's expression, which was the same as Lu Yao's when dealing with things. It seemed that the young master was really not angry, so Tangxi nodded and agreed.
Lu Yao sighed and asked: "You said, they were also put in the wrong order, why is there such a big difference in the reactions of the two young ladies from the Cao family and the Han family?"
When Tang Xi heard Lu Yao's question, he didn't know the reason behind it. He thought for a while and could only say: "I think maybe it's because the Miss Han family is about to marry the young master, so she cares more about it, so
I'm going to get furious. As for Miss Cao Han of the Cao family, my impression seems to be that she has nothing to do with you, Master."
When Lu Yao heard this, he was about to say something, but then he smiled helplessly. Lu Yao said in his heart that Tangxi has never had a partner at his age, let alone the girl he likes, and he and Cao Han
In Tangxi's opinion, the exchange was a very normal thing, and it was really difficult for him to understand the truth. However, he was indeed very upset because of this matter. After thinking about it, Tangxi was the only one around him.
I can listen to myself talking.
"That's right. Since you all know that the eldest lady of the Han family cares about me very much, let's go to the Han Mansion first and give them a reasonable explanation, and then go to the Cao Mansion to have a look."
Having said that, in addition to settling the matter in Tangxi, Lu Yao also wanted to see if the Cao family and the Han family had made any preparations for the upcoming official competition of the new Cuju competition. Although their competition
The order is relatively low, but if you neglect training in the past few days, you will still suffer a big loss.
When Lu Yao came to Han's house, he did not hear the sound of training coming from the backyard like when he was in Zhao's house. At the same time, when Lu Yao entered the main hall of Han's house, he thought it was Han Yonghe waiting for him.
Looking at myself, I didn't expect that Han Wenyuan was the only one sitting in the main hall.
"Isn't Uncle Han at home?" Lu Yao looked at Han Wenyuan and said after sitting down.
Han Wenyuan's expression clearly still contained a hint of anger. However, unlike his arrogance when facing Tangxi, he was still very restrained when facing Lu Yao.
"My father and Uncle Cao Guo are all visiting Mr. Han Qi's house today." Han Wenyuan said.
Lu Yaoxin said that it seemed that it was for government affairs. Needless to say, Fan Zhongyan must have gone there too, but to avoid suspicion, he did not choose to gather at the residence arranged by Zhao Zhen for Fan Zhongyan, but chose to go to Han Qi's house.
.
Han Wenyuan and Lu Yao did not respond, so he continued: "Besides, don't you think it would be worse for you if my father knew about this matter?"
Lu Yao came back to his senses. Of course he knew what Han Wenyuan was talking about, so he said: "What Brother Wenyuan said is absolutely true, so didn't I come to give you a reasonable explanation?"
Han Wenyuan snorted coldly and asked Lu Yao to explain.
Therefore, Lu Yao said that the ones that were messed up in order were actually another manuscript. It was a student who was waiting in Bianliang City for the results to be released and wanted to publish his article in Lu Yao's newspaper.
Submit a manuscript, and that day, Lu Yao sent Tangxi out to return the manuscript, so he brought two manuscripts with him. Then Tangxi acted bravely and got the manuscripts in the wrong order.
After explaining the reason, Lu Yao called Tangxi to him and scolded him in front of Han Wenyuan. This was of course just a show to show Han Wenyuan, so Tangxi was also very cooperative. He is completely different now from before.
Well, he knew that the reason why Lu Yao didn't say that the manuscript was written by himself was because he didn't want to cause misunderstanding, because if Han Wenyuan investigated more, he would know that he went to the Cao Mansion that day, and he would really not be able to explain it at that time.
. Moreover, since the Han family looked down upon the manuscript so much, there was no need for Lu Yao to admit that he wrote it himself.
Seeing Lu Yaoyan's sincerity, Han Wenyuan's anger also disappeared and he said: "So that's it. It seems that what Tangxi told me that day is true, but I still need to study hard next time. At least your son-in-law wrote
You just don’t want to mess up the order of things.”
Tangxi nodded in agreement. In order to make up for the mistake last time, Tangxi had actually decided to read everything Lu Yao had written in his free time.
Lu Yao smiled, motioned Tang Xi to stand aside, and continued: "Actually, I think, brother Wenyuan, you should be able to tell that it is not a novel. It shouldn't be very difficult to do this with your literary talent."
Han Wenyuan smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Lu doesn't know. In the past, all the manuscripts Tangxi gave me, I basically gave them to my younger sister as soon as possible, so I don't particularly understand the order of "The Story of the Stone", so
When I finished reading it that day, I also felt that the content other than the first few pages was completely inconsistent. However, my little sister admired Brother Lu very much and insisted that this was not written by you, but I read that
The handwriting was Brother Lu’s, so I had a quarrel with my little sister for a while.”
Han Wenyuan's words were full of laughter. In fact, he still had doubts about the handwriting on the manuscript. If it was really written by the student from Bianliang City Middle School, why was the handwriting written by Lu Yao?
When Lu Yao heard this, he thought that Han Wenyuan was not stupid, so he said: "Oh, that's right. When he gave it to me, the handwriting was illegible and there was no space for paragraphs, so the final conclusion I gave him was
, our newspaper has no way to publish it, but for his manuscript, I used my own ideas to re-type it, corrected typos, including correcting some sentence problems, which is equivalent to saying that I followed what he wrote to me before.
I polished and copied the original manuscript myself, and plan to return it to him. I hope he can improve his writing skills after sorting out his ideas."
Once this was said, it could be said to be very reasonable. According to Han Wenyuan's character, it was impossible for him to say that he would read the original manuscript. So, naturally, the misunderstanding was resolved.
Han Wenyuan immediately said that he would wait a while and explain to his younger sister in person that Han Yunyu was also angry because of the previous misunderstanding. Although Han Wenyuan said many times that his younger sister was not angry with Lu Yao, Lu Yao knew it in his heart.
, as Han Yunyu is like this
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
For a lady, she knew that Lu Yao would be her husband from now on. As a wife, she still had to give her husband face. In fact, when Han Wenyuan explained it to Han Yunyu based on the handwriting, she already knew that this thing was indeed written by Lu Yao.
Yes, it was only because of her own identity and her deep-seated impression of Lu Yao as a literary talent that Han Yunyu refused to admit that this thing was written by Lu Yao.
Although on the surface, Han Yunyu had a quarrel with her eldest brother Han Wenyuan, secretly, it could be said that Han Yunyu asked Han Wenyuan to come to Lu Yao for an explanation. She also wanted to know why Lu Yao would write such an ugly article.
Come on. So, the person who actually made Han Yunyu really angry was none other than Lu Yao.
And Lu Yao came to Han Mansion today. Although he was nominally accepting Han Wenyuan's invitation to give an explanation, in fact, he wanted to come up with a set of words to appease Han Yunyu's anger.
Lu Yao knew that his own rhetoric alone would not be enough to completely calm Han Yunyu's anger, so he took out a few more pages of manuscripts from his sleeves, handed them to Han Wenyuan, and said: "This is what I compiled before.
"The Story of the Stone" in sequence, and I have updated some subsequent chapters."
When Han Wenyuan saw the manuscript, he immediately beamed with joy. He also knew that, needless to say, if these manuscripts in Lu Yao's hand were handed over to Han Yunyu immediately, all problems would no longer exist.
"Well, with this, my little sister should not be angry anymore." Han Wenyuan said with great satisfaction.
Lu Yao looked around and listened carefully. He did not hear the sound of anyone practicing from the backyard. Could it be that he is really so important? Because he knew that he would come to apologize today, the Wenyuan team did not train.
?
So Lu Yao asked: "Brother Wenyuan, I wonder how you are preparing for the new Cuju competition. Have you been training these two days? I feel that there should be no team members in our house, because I want to come here to find you today.
The reason, or is it that the Wenyuan team is already confident about the first round?"
Han Wenyuan waved his hand and said: "Actually, there are some reasons. My sister's matter is more important to me than the new Cuju competition, so when you said you would come today, I had no intention of accompanying the team today.
Let’s train together. Besides, this is the residence of Lord Shangshu after all, so it’s somewhat inappropriate for those people to train in our residence. After all, my little sister has been at home all day long, and seeing so many strangers making such a big noise
It's not very good at all, so they usually go to a special place to train. Today, because you have to visit, I asked Xu Chang and the other three to lead the team for training. Today everyone has to practice physical fitness.
So it doesn’t matter whether I, the coach, is present or not. Speaking of the first round, although Zhang Maocai’s Wangcai team will not pose any threat to our Wenyuan team, my father told me not to underestimate the enemy, and we have to enter the third round.
The reason for the second round is because we want to face Cao Yu’s Bear Lions.”
Han Wenyuan's explanation makes sense. The Wenyuan team is different from other teams. Among their team members is a core trio led by Xuchang. On weekdays, even if Han Wenyuan is not present, Xuchang and the others can organize team training.
.
Lu Yao nodded, the purpose of coming to the Han family has been achieved, and Lu Yao himself, because of Han Yunyu's previous attitude in handling this matter, now really has no good impression of the Han family at all. The reason why he came to the Han family today
The apology was purely because he could not cancel his marriage to Han Yunyu when the arrow was on the string. Instead of the two of them getting into trouble and becoming strangers because of this incident, which would cause conflicts between the Han family and the Lu family, it would be better for him to
Treat Han Yunyu as a noble lady in ancient times, and treat her with respect as a guest.
After thinking about this, Lu Yao got up and prepared to leave Han Mansion. As for Lu Yao not being able to apologize to Han Yunyu in person, Han Wenyuan was thinking that this little girl was still angry and seemed embarrassed when meeting Lu Yao, so
Lu Yao was sensible and did not choose to meet Han Yunyu. But what Han Wenyuan didn't know was that Lu Yao had no intention of seeing Han Yunyu again. Even before getting married, Lu Yao had no intention of seeing Han Yunyu again.
"In this case, I won't keep Brother Lu."
Han Wenyuan bowed and asked the housekeeper to send Lu Yao out.
Lu Yao looked at Han Wenyuan and suddenly asked, "Brother Wenyuan, do you know what Han Yonghe went to Han Qi's house to discuss?"
Han Wenyuanxin said that Lu Yao will enter the official career sooner or later, and this kind of thing is no longer a secret, so he said: "Of course it is to discuss matters about Xixia. According to the current situation, it is nine out of ten that it is
There's going to be a fight."
Lu Yao nodded, the Xixia War was inevitable, and combined with this imperial examination, the premonition that he would go to the front line to lead troops in the war was getting stronger and stronger.
After leaving the Han Mansion, Lu Yao took Tangxi to the Cao Mansion.
On the way, Tangxi was a little confused. Although Lu Yao had already given the Han family a reasonable explanation when they were in the Han Mansion, Tangxi still asked: "Sir, you said that the manuscript was not written by you because you didn't want to cause misunderstanding.
Is it an article submitted by a student?"
Lu Yao looked at Tang Xi and said, "It's not entirely because of this. Since the Han family doesn't like that manuscript, so what if I admit that I wrote it, but it will lower my impression in the eyes of the Han family.
"
"I think the manuscript written by the young master is quite good." Tangxi recalled the original novel manuscript Lu Yao wrote to Cao Han and said.
Lu Yao smiled. It was within his expectation that Tang Xi would like this kind of article. All men have a martial arts dream, whether it is modern or ancient.
Lu Yao said: "Then when I write again, I will leave a copy for you. I don't plan to put this thing in the newspaper, so there are only two copies. You must cherish it, but remember
.”
"I know that we can't tell the outside world that this thing was written by Young Master." Tangxi said very happily after hearing this.
The two walked together all the way to Cao's Mansion. Uncle Cao Guo was still in Han Qi's home at this time. However, what Lu Yao didn't expect was that Cao You did not lead the Lions team for training today, but was also in Han Qi's home.
superior.
But after thinking about it carefully, Lu Yao felt that Cao You must have predicted that he would come today.
