Chapter 176 [Is it the king's land under the whole world]
Xue Poye sighed, feeling a little dissatisfied with his behavior for a while, so he said it casually, presumably it had brought him some harm. He was about to say a few words of comfort when he heard You Shaoqing sigh: "This time I failed.
I can no longer afford to take the exam again. Now I have trouble eating and drinking. How can I continue to study? I can only say that I have no luck in official career in this life." I was melancholy and quite sad.
Xue Poye shook his head and was about to leave when You Shaoqing suddenly said: "Brother Xue, why not do this? I heard them say that the treatment here is good and the wages are high. If I fail, you can accept me in your shop."
Even working here is a way to survive, and it's much better than selling pears."
"What can you do as a weak scholar?"
You Shaoqing turned over, rolled up his sleeves, exposed his thin arms, and said, "I have strength and can do anything. Don't look down on others."
Xue Poye touched his nose and smiled: "Then I still hope you can win, so as not to cause trouble to my store."
You Shaoqing said with a smile: "That's great. I'll be very happy if I win. But I also thought about it carefully. Even if I win, I still want to make a living with you. Your salary is good, and I will be happy in the future."
I don’t have to worry about spending time. I will study with you when I have free time and prepare for next year’s provincial examination together. If the two of us study together, we will naturally be more knowledgeable, which is also a great good thing for you. You... you won’t refuse?
"
Xue Poye stared at You Shaoqing for a long time before holding back a sentence: "You are so fucking shameless." He ignored him again.
You Shaoqing said anxiously: "How can a scholar say such foul language? We are all scholars and should treat each other with courtesy. The so-called gentleman will respond to any request. I am just asking you to help me with a small favor. We are all in the same field...!"
While he was chattering endlessly, Xue Poye had already moved away, not listening to his noise.
As for the matter of the two restaurants, except for Lao Song, no one else knew about it. Xue Poye also deliberately concealed it. First, he wanted to give everyone a big surprise when he thought of it. Secondly, he was afraid that everyone would be distracted and affect the quality of the work here. However,
It won't take long, and it will always surprise everyone.
Xue Poye even took the time to go to Pinxiang Pavilion. On the surface, he was just going to visit the building, but his real intention was to discuss something with Lady Green.
After the two restaurants are opened, they will need some waiters, and it is not difficult to find these waiters. However, Xue Poye knows that the big tree attracts trouble. If it really wants to open, some people with evil intentions will come to look for trouble. Although He Ruhui has shares, but
It can't be announced to the outside world, and outsiders will naturally not know who is a member of the Confucian Society in these two restaurants, so Xue Poye must have a group of employees who are loyal to him but can cope with the situation. The number does not need to be too many, just some mixed ones.
In a restaurant, it is always helpful to oneself, and these candidates must naturally be selected from Qinglianzhao.
It is an established fact that I am Qing Lian Zhao's man. I had thought before that if Qing Lian Zhao's brother was placed in the restaurant, there would be trouble. I thought about it again and again. After all, this group of people have been lurking for a long time, and they are under their own care, not outsiders.
It was unexpected, and since everyone themselves would not be exposed, we decided to use some people.
Although he still flirted with the green lady when he saw her and coveted her sexy body, the discussion finally came to a conclusion. Many brothers in the Shadow Hall worked in the shop, and Qian Hong, the sunflower boy, also had a good reputation in the hall.
There will be no problem in choosing some smart and capable brothers from some powerful characters. Of course, Xue Poye's identity is only known to a few hall masters and a very few people. This is an extremely secret identity.
It is not convenient for too many people to know. As for those brothers who used to pretend to be waiters, Xue Poye believed that Green Lady and Qian Hong had sufficient reasons to deal with them.
After discussing the matter and having a romantic discussion, they finally failed to touch the green lady's body, so Xue Poye could only leave with some disappointment.
In the next few days, for many students, they were just waiting for the day when the rankings would be released to see if God would favor them and have their names on the rankings. Students were everywhere in the city, talking about the rankings.
Fortunately, Lan Yuexuan is a very well-informed place, so Xue Poye and You Shaoqing don't have to go to the Yamen to inquire. For Xue Poye, being on the yellow list is a sure thing, so he doesn't worry about it, but pays attention to the two restaurants.
He and Lao Song kept silent about the decoration, and no one in Lan Yuexuan knew anything about it. Although Lao Song went out early and came back late every day, everyone was a little surprised, but Xue Poye only said that he had ordered him to do something, so naturally
No one asked anymore.
Boss Hu really found a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to observe and appreciate its layout. He led his men to plan day and night. He was extremely attentive and had hired skilled craftsmen to make all kinds of stone tools needed for the restaurant.
When repairing and carving, try to return to the original natural look.
Zhang's skillful hand really lived up to his reputation. Things were made very quickly and shipped to the restaurant one by one. It only took two days to make a rough outline. Boss Hu started to layout according to the trend of the landscape.
In fact, this layout is very particular. The placement of every flower, every grass, every tree and every tree must be carefully thought out. For Boss Hu, this is a brand new attempt and an improvement on his existing decoration technology.
It was an innovative breakthrough, so he was very dedicated to it. He racked his brains to do his best even without Xue Poye's orders.
Xue Poye was very satisfied. He felt that the credibility of the ancients was really good. Boss Hu agreed to take action. As expected, he was conscientious and did not need to worry.
Visitors to the West Lake are quite strange. They see the two restaurants going in and out every day, surrounded by rocks, flowers and plants, and they can't figure out what the hell is going on.
Xue Poye was relieved about the decoration, but what he was worried about would soon come.
Even Boss Hu knew that Xue Poye's operation of a restaurant by the West Lake would lead to a fierce struggle with the Lu family's Huiyuan Pavilion, so the Lu family naturally knew it well.
The breeze is blowing and the blue waves are rippling. Looking down on the West Lake from the highest floor of Huiyuan Pavilion is extremely beautiful.
This is where Xue Poye met Mrs. Fang again.
When Mrs. Fang posted the invitation, Xue Poye knew in his heart that it was simply because of the matter of building a new restaurant that Mrs. Fang would come forward sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to come so soon.
Of course Xue Poye was not afraid. He was just informed of this meeting as a business rival.
"Congratulations to Shopkeeper Xue, for making such a big move. It's really extraordinary." Mrs. Fang said congratulations, but there was no congratulations on her face. She was calm and indifferent, sitting on the chair very elegantly.
Xue Poye laughed and said calmly: "Madam's information is really well-informed."
The woman was now dignified. Xue Poye really couldn't imagine that such a woman who looked indifferent and elegant would do such a crazy thing that day. Moreover, this woman seemed to have a very bad memory. There was no trace of it from her face.
It's not embarrassing, it seems like that incident has never happened.
Xue Poye's eyes involuntarily passed over her breasts, and the plump and firm breasts were still in his mind.
"What you did is not secret." Mrs. Fang picked up the teacup, took a sip, raised her head, stared at Xue Poye, and said slowly: "What I said that day still stands, as long as you want, you can
If you come to my house to work, I won't treat you badly."
It turns out she still remembers!
Xue Poye smiled faintly, inadvertently looking at the restaurant in the distance that was being renovated in full swing, and said with a smile: "I will always remember Madam's kindness, but do Madam think it is possible for me to join your Fang family and do whatever you want?
Servant?"
A sneer appeared on Mrs. Fang's pale face. She stretched out her hand to straighten the bun on her forehead. She still said calmly and slowly: "How much money do you think I need to buy your two buildings?"
Xue Poye laughed and said, "Ma'am, you're just kidding me. The Fang family's wealth is the highest in Hangzhou. How can they take a fancy to my two shabby buildings? It's a joke."
"I'm not joking, I just want to see what you can do and want to save you." Mrs. Fang was very calm. Only at this time did Xue Poye see why she could become the head of the Fang family, calm and confident.
With a touch of courage, his voice was cold and cold: "If you really like these two buildings, you can wait for me to buy them and continue to be your shopkeeper, but it will be under the name of our Fang family. Do you understand what I mean?
"
Xue Poye suppressed his smile and his voice became cold: "I heard Madam's words very clearly and understood very well. If this is an order from Madam, then I'm sorry. I think these two buildings are already under Xue's name.
The property will not be sold now, and the possibility of selling it in the future is very small, so Madam’s thoughts can end here.”
Mrs. Fang was not angry, and there was a sneer at the corner of her mouth: "Perhaps Shopkeeper Xue dared to say such things because He Ruhui was behind him, but I still have to tell Shopkeeper Xue that there are some things that He Ruhui cannot control.
Yes, if the world in Hangzhou belongs to He Ruhui, then he only holds half of it, and the other half belongs to our Fang family. I hope you can understand this truth, so that it will be easier for you to make a rational choice."
What an arrogant tone!
Xue Poye smiled coldly and said leisurely: "Hangzhou does not belong to Master He, nor does it belong to your Fang family, but to the people of Hangzhou." After a pause, he slowly said: "If this is just someone's world, I think
It should be the master of the Dragon Seat in the Kyoto Imperial Palace."
Mrs. Fang's expression changed. Of course she understood what Xue Poye meant.
The whole world is not the land of the king, and the shores of the land are not the king’s ministers!dd
