Unlike when he went to the Han Mansion before, Lu Yao did not let Tangxi follow him into the Cao Mansion this time. The reason why he went to the Han Mansion before was because it was Tangxi who caused the trouble, and in order to show respect for the Han family.
, and in order to make Han Wenyuan completely believe the reason he said, Lu Yao must take Tangxi with him. Of course, Tangxi himself also knows the mistakes he made, even if Lu Yao does not take him to the Han Mansion, he will
I applied to go with him.
But now it was different when he arrived at Cao's house. When Lu Yao asked the housekeeper at the door and got the news that Cao Yu was at the house, he asked Tangxi to leave first before entering. Tangxi was a little confused. Before, he had sent the Cao family to the Han family.
The order of the manuscript was messed up, so I should go with Lu Yao to apologize.
But Lu Yao asked Tang Xi, about the Han family, because the core trio led by Xu Chang could be brought along for training, and because of his commitment to Han Wenyuan, Han Wenyuan finally chose to let Xu Chang and the others take Wenyuan with them.
The team members went to train, while I waited in Han Mansion for the arrival of Lu Yao and Tang Xi.
"But Cao You, when he came to see you last time, he already knew that Han Wenyuan had come to see you, and you should have been able to tell from his situation at that time that he was not angry."
After hearing what Lu Yao said, Tangxi recalled that Cao You was really not too angry that day. He just asked for the manuscripts in the correct order and took them away. He didn't say anything extra, and he didn't talk to Tangxi.
It was agreed that Lu Yao would come to visit and so on.
"How do you think Cao Yu is invested in this new Cuju competition?" Lu Yao then asked again.
Tang Xi thought for a while and said, "I think Mr. Cao You's concentration on this competition should not be inferior to that of Chen Chen and Pan Wencai."
Lu Yao nodded and then said that in terms of ranking, Cao You also attaches great importance to this new Cuju competition. However, today he chose to train at his own house instead of leading the team. This shows that,
Cao You should have calculated correctly that Lu Yao would look for him in the next two days. As for Tangxi, whether he came to apologize or not, maybe Cao You didn't take it seriously, and the reason why he had to wait for Lu Yao was probably
Please discuss other matters with yourself.
After listening to Lu Yao's analysis and confirming that Cao You was not angry about sending the wrong manuscript before, Tangxi felt that there was no problem if she didn't go. And since Lu Yao had already spoken, she had to leave.
However, Lu Yao stopped Tang Xi and said that there was another thing that Tang Xi needed to do.
"You will go to Pan's Mansion soon and look for Pan Yuanwu. If he is not there, go to Pan Wen. Then, tell them about our plans to create a hot pot business and a food street."
Hearing what Lu Yao said, Tang Xi felt very strange. At first, Lu Yao didn't intend to tell the Pan family the news.
Lu Yao continued: "It was because all the preparations had not been completed at that time. If the Pan family knew about it at that time, they would definitely get involved. But now, the hot pot has found a partner in the supply of ingredients, and
With the help of Chen Chen's father, the food court will soon be on the right track. At this time, it means that everything is ready. Let's go and tell the Pan family. First, we can show them that what we do will not affect their business. Second,
We also want to explain that we do not want to hide these two transactions from them. It is completely different for us to proactively tell them about these two transactions and for them to learn about them through other people's mouths."
Tangxi thought for a moment and said, "Master, do you think the Zhao family might tell the Pan family about our cooperation with them just now?"
Lu Yao nodded and said: "Yes, the relationship between Zhao Hu and Pan Yuanwu is very likely, so I asked you to go to Pan's house to inform this matter. If Zhao Hu's people tell Pan Yuanwu this matter, the nature will change."
Already."
Tangxi also realizes that this is a big problem. Lu Yao has always had a good relationship with the Pan family, and the hot pot industry also has a food street. It is originally for the benefit of the people in the outer city. It is true that he has delayed his interpersonal relationships for such a thing.
Not worth it. What's more, Pan Wen is Lu Yao's good friend.
So, Tangxi didn't say anything more, and immediately left Cao Mansion and went to Pan Mansion. The reason why Lu Yao asked Tangxi to follow him just now was because Pan Mansion was relatively close to Cao Mansion. Otherwise, Lu Yao would have let him go when he came out of Han Mansion.
Tangxi went to Pan Mansion.
Lu Yao's move can be said to be very good. After Tangxi arrived at Pan's house, Tangxi met Pan Yuanwu directly because Pan Wen took the Fan Lou team out for training. When he was talking to Pan Yuanwu about these two things
, the housekeeper of Zhao Mansion also came to Pan Mansion. If it were later, there would really be no way to deal with it.
Before Tangxi went to Pan's house, Lu Yao had already told Tangxi how to answer Pan Yuanwu's question. Pan Yuanwu was interested in two aspects. First, whether there would be hot pot and gourmet peppers in the industry;
Potatoes and other rare ingredients like tomatoes, Tangxi said that she would never do this. Moreover, once peppers and potatoes were used in food streets and hot pot restaurants, Lu Yao decided to spend money to purchase them from Pan Yuanwu’s vegetable garden. The cost was
Pan Yuanwu came to order. This method was appreciated by Pan Yuanwu. After all, he and Lu Yao had made an agreement before that as long as these ingredients were used in the future, he could provide them to him for free. However, the dosage here is of course referring to Lu Mansion. Lu Yao
I also know that Pan Yuanwu is proficient in calculations, and I don't want to take advantage of him, so wherever these ingredients are used in this food street and hot pot restaurant, they purchase them directly from Pan Yuanwu.
The second point is what Pan Yuanwu is most concerned about, that is, since Lu Yao wants to get involved in the catering industry, will it have an impact on Fanlou, the largest restaurant in Bianliang City? Regarding this point, Lu Yao asked Tangxi to make it clear.
Regarding matters in the urban area, and for Pan Yuanwu, we can play more emotional cards to directly clarify Lu Yao's true purpose of doing these two industries. Sure enough, knowing that the position will not affect Fan Lou, and they are all focused on small profits.
After realizing the goal of selling more and benefiting the people, Pan Yuanwu immediately expressed his support, and Tang Xi could also see that after knowing that it would not pose any threat to Fan Lou, the doubt in Pan Yuanwu's eyes could be said to have completely disappeared.
Moreover, Pan Yuanwu also said that as long as it was something that could help the people, Lu Yao could just give him orders if the food street and hot pot restaurant needed his help.
Pan Yuanwu is a very shrewd guy. When Tangxi told him about the food street and hot pot restaurant, he had already calculated the accounts in his mind. In Pan Yuanwu's opinion, Lu Yao had invested so much money to do it.
Firstly, these two projects are located in outer urban areas that are not very developed. Secondly, most of the consumers in these outer urban areas are ordinary people. Therefore, even if business is booming and full every day, the income of the two industries in a month is
It should not be comparable to his own Fan Lou's half-month income. Perhaps Lu Yao also calculated this correctly, so he did not tell Pan Yuanwu the news in the end. And because of this, Pan Yuanwu also believed Lu Yao, after knowing that such a low price
Despite the profit, I still choose to do this business in the outer city. It is indeed more for the sake of the people. Since it will not affect my business, there is no need to worry too much. As for the ingredients, I regard it as doing a good deed.
There's nothing wrong with providing it to them for free.
At this time, the housekeeper of Zhao Mansion, who was also sitting in the main hall, could be said to be very embarrassed. Originally, he came to Pan Yuanwu on this trip just to tell Pan Yuanwu about Lu Yao's visit to Zhao Hu before. Unexpectedly, this Lu Yao
The housekeeper came directly to Pan's house and explained everything clearly, which caught him off guard.
After Tangxi finished talking about everything, he didn't forget to look at the embarrassed housekeeper of Zhao's house when he was about to leave. He knew that this guy must have come to report the news. He himself had no interest and had already completed the task given to him by Lu Yao.
It was successfully completed. Tangxi thought that judging by the time, Lu Yao should still be discussing things in Cao's Mansion, so he went outside Cao's Mansion again and waited for Lu Yao to come out.
On Pan Yuanwu's side, he asked about the purpose of the Zhao family's housekeeper's visit. The housekeeper was very embarrassed and said that he came just for what Tang Xi said. Pan Yuanwu laughed, and he knew that the real purpose of the Zhao family's housekeeper's visit was
The purpose is not for the so-called complaint, but to express one's attitude to the Pan family. Although Lu Yao has now become a big customer of his, cooperation with Fan Lou is still indispensable. After all, the two families
The relationship has been going on for many years. Zhao Hu was afraid that Pan Yuanwu would think too much after knowing about this matter, so he sent a butler over and repeatedly ordered that as long as Pan Yuanwu didn't ask who the new big client was, not to mention Lu Yao's name.
go out.
Pan Yuanwu has always trusted Zhao Hu's character, and he also knows that the reason why Lu Yao finally chose Zhao Hu as one of his partners has something to do with him. After all, Fan Lou has never had any problems with the food supply for so many years.
Lu Yao naturally had no problem finding Zhao Hu to supply ingredients for hot pot.
At this time, Lu Yao came to Cao Mansion and saw Cao You in the main hall.
What makes Lu Yao feel a little strange is that there are not many people in the Cao Mansion today. I remember that when I came here several times before, there were a lot of servants. Although Uncle Cao Guo went to Han Qi's place today, there was no need to bring him.
Let the servants go over. Moreover, Lu Yao felt that if Cao Han knew that he was coming and Uncle Cao Guo was not at home, Cao Han would definitely come to greet him as soon as possible. But now, Cao You was the only one in the main hall.
One person and one or two servants are in the mansion.
"Don't look, my brother and sister are not here." Cao You saw Lu Yao's confused eyes and said, "And my father, I think you should know where he went."
Lu Yao smiled and said, "How do you know that I know?"
"When I talked to Tangxi before, I knew that you would go to Han Mansion today, and based on my understanding of you, you will definitely come to me after you go to Han Mansion." Cao You continued, "It's just that
It's a little later than expected. I've been waiting for most of the day. If you had come half an hour earlier, you might still be able to see my sister."
"As expected of Cao You, he knew I was going to visit today." Lu Yao said, "Cao Han and Cao Ping also went to Han Qi's house with your father?"
Cao You shook his head and said, "That's not true. They had other things to do and went out. As you know my sister, in order to prevent her from getting into trouble, she must be surrounded by people, and my brother is a good-faced person.
In addition, things are more important today, so I took some of the servants with me."
"Then it's more important for me to say that, otherwise you should follow them to do things." Lu Yao said.
Cao You shook his head and said, "That's not true. If you hadn't come today, I would have led the team to train."
"You don't seem like someone who would give up training for other things."
Hearing what Lu Yao said, Cao You nodded and said: "Yes, so today I asked Zou Kai and Chen Feng to take the Lions team to training. Since it is just some daily physical training, there is no problem if I don't need to follow them.
"
"I see." Lu Yao thought in his mind. It seems that there is no sports venue for these teams. What they do these days is basically physical training. Everyone is similar, which shows that during this period, a certain
It is not easy for a team to achieve a breakthrough improvement in strength.
"If you are here because of the previous manuscript, there is no need. I am not angry at all, and Cao Han is also very engaged in reading it. I think she is because you wrote it, so no matter what the content is, even if it is not at all
Even if it’s not in order, I’d say it’s well written.” Cao You looked at Lu Yao and said.
Lu Yao then took out some manuscripts from his sleeves, handed them to Cao You, and said, "This is a new chapter. You give it to her when she comes back. Since she is not here, I won't stay any longer and leave."
After saying that, Lu Yao stood up to leave, but Cao You stopped him and said, "Don't you want to know where Cao Han is and what she is doing now?"
Lu Yao turned around and said, "What can I do if I know?"
Cao You looked at Lu Yao with a serious expression and said: "In a few days, there will be a new Cuju competition, and then there will be the imperial examination. After that, if you get the honor, you will marry Han Yunyu."
Lu Yao nodded, and Cao You continued: "So, you understand what I mean. I stayed here specially to wait for you to come today just to tell you that there is not much time left for you. Do you understand what I mean?"
Lu Yao stood there and looked at Cao You for a few seconds, then said "Let's go" and left Cao's house. Cao You looked at Lu Yao's back with a complicated expression.
"Oh, what should I do?"
These were the same words that came to Cao You and Lu Yao's minds next.
Cao You placed the manuscript that Lu Yao had given him in Cao Han's room. He did not tell Lu Yao that Cao Han was actually deceived by Cao Ping into going out to play today. Of course, during the play,
, Cao Ping will find an opportunity to introduce to her the men who have passed the first round of Cao Yi's screening, and ask Cao Han to give them a basic evaluation. Through these evaluations, the second round of screening will be made. In this way,
The men who leave a relatively good impression on Cao Han will enter the final round, which is the martial arts competition after the Cuju competition.
Of course, there is still no way to fully understand these people through Cao Ping's introduction alone. Therefore, Cao Ping also arranged for these candidates to appear in front of Cao Han one by one in an inadvertent way to see if they would impress Cao Han.
man. So, this is the reason why most of the servants of the Cao Mansion were sent out today. Cao Ping cannot complete this kind of workload alone.
Of course, according to the plan, Cao Han can't come back until tonight. After all, it is not easy for her to not realize that these people are deliberately arranged for her. So last night, Cao Ping and Cao Yi
I have been studying it all night and just put it into practice today.
Cao You didn't want to participate in this, but he couldn't stop it, so he could only refuse the invitation to take Cao Han out with Cao Ping on the grounds that he had to take the Lions for training today. However, because it was not until today
Lu Yao would come to his house to look for him, so Cao Yu also sent Zou Kai and Chen Feng to lead the team for training while he waited for Lu Yao at home.
Originally, he actually wanted to tell Lu Yao about this for a moment. But after so many days, Lu Yao still didn't seem to take any action, especially the matter of sending the wrong manuscript before. It seemed that Lu Yao still
He went to the Han Mansion to apologize, which meant that there was no way to cancel the engagement with Han Yunyu. In this way, Cao You felt that Lu Yao could not change his current situation whether he told Cao Han or not.
As for Lu Yao, after leaving Cao Mansion and seeing Tang Xi waiting outside the door, he didn't say anything and walked home with Tang Xi.
This was the second time that Tangxi saw loneliness in Lu Yao's expression. The last time he saw this was when Lu Yao came back from Han Mansion. He didn't know what Lu Yao told Cao Yu in Cao Mansion.
What, but since Lu Yao didn't ask, it means that Cao You probably didn't have any conflict with Lu Yao because of himself.
Lu Yao didn't understand what Cao You said. He had sent Tangxi to inquire about the Cao family's recent movements before, but no news came back for a while. Since he couldn't solve the marriage contract issue now, it seemed that
We can only try to see what the Cao family does and what kind of actions we will take.
At the end of the day, after walking a lot, Lu Yao felt a little tired. When he got home, he wanted to take a bath and have a good sleep. He still had some things to finish tomorrow.
However, as soon as he entered the house, he heard Uncle Fu say that Lu Geng had arrived at the Lu Mansion half an hour ago, saying he wanted to see him and had been waiting for a long time.
In fact, Lu Yao had already anticipated Lu Geng's arrival. After all, his industry was transforming. The lottery station was a very special existence. It involved the emperor's wallet. This matter was definitely not a small matter, and Lu Geng came to see him today.
, it should be that he has already gone to see the emperor.
Although Lu Yao felt very tired now, he still cheered up and went to the main hall to meet Lu Geng.
From the look on Lu Geng's face when he saw him and the way he spoke next, Lu Yao had already made a judgment. Sure enough, Zhao Zhen paid Lu Geng more, and Lu Geng came to Lu Mansion this time just to express his gratitude.
Lu Yao's, and asked Lu Yao, he wanted to give Lu Yao 10% of the share every month in the future. After all, it was Lu Yao who proposed this lottery station and gave it to him to run. After that, he became the boss.
, naturally we cannot forget Lu Yao’s favor.
In this regard, Lu Yao was uncharacteristic and did not refuse. This made Lu Geng feel a little incredible. Originally, he had prepared a lot of excuses and planned to get Lu Yao to accept one percent of his monthly income, but he didn't.
Thinking that Lu Yao had agreed so readily. Moreover, he directly asked Tang Xi to prepare pen and paper and write down the contract. This made Lu Geng choke back all the words he had prepared.
Lu Yao has his own plan. The lottery station is already making huge profits. Even 1% of the commission is a very considerable income. In three to five days, his bank will be opened. From now on, the monthly principal can be
More is more, and since Lu Geng wanted to give him a share, since it came from his mouth, it means that Zhao Zhen must have agreed, so he has no reason to refuse.
After the contract was settled, Lu Yao asked Lu Geng if the emperor wanted to see him. Lu Geng thought about it and said that although the emperor did not express it clearly, he also mentioned that he had not seen Lu Yao for a long time.
Lu Yao thought that it was time to meet Zhao Zhen before the official start of the new Cuju competition. But before that, he had to make preliminary preparations for the food street, bank, and hot pot restaurant, and then
Go and give a unified report to Zhao Zhen.
It was evening. Lu Geng had stayed in the Lu Mansion all afternoon, but Lu Yao was not in the mood to cook today, so he asked Tang Xi to go to Fanlou and order some dishes. Then the Lu family had dinner.
After sending Lu Geng away, Lu Yao asked Tang Xi about going to Pan's Mansion. Sure enough, the housekeeper of Zhao's Mansion also went to Pan's Mansion shortly after Tangxi arrived. Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough, otherwise it would be very difficult for a misunderstanding to occur.
The explanation makes sense.
Afterwards, Lu Yao explained the arrangements for the next few days to Tang Xi, and asked Tang Xi to go back and rest early. Before going to bed, Lu Yao also found Mrs. Xu and told her about the account books and the opening date of the bank.
Lu Yao set the opening time of the bank in five days. Now there are still six days before the official start of the new Cuju competition. Before that, Lu Yao thought that there were still many things he had to do.
However, it was already this time today, so Lu Yao went back to his room to rest.
