The harsh sound of bowl smashing was met with surprised looks from all the guests.
They all mistakenly thought that shopkeeper Gu was losing his temper with Mr. Lian.
Shao Shan ran over before Gu Qingsong and picked up the fragments scattered on the ground.
"Shopkeeper, please tell me what you have to say." Shao Shan's voice was as soft as a mosquito, and he was careful in his persuasion.
Lian Beichuan glanced at Shao Shan and sighed calmly: "Your shopkeeper is not angry with me."
"Tsk..." Gu Qingdai's face was filled with anger, and she rolled her eyes at him angrily.
Upon hearing this, Shao Shan quickly made a "nothing" gesture to Gu Qingsong and the others, and then retreated while holding back his laughter.
"Shopkeeper Gu, I'm sorry, the guys are so worried about you."
Lian Beichuan calmly met the eyes of the guests next to him, which actually made them panic.
Gu Qingdai snorted softly in her nose: "Don't make fun of me here, everyone is afraid of your power. Even the second master is afraid that I will offend you, and I will not be able to eat anymore."
"Are you sure you don't care about Qu Biqian anymore?" Lian Beichuan brought the topic back.
Gu Qingdai pursed her lips and remained silent.
"Okay, let me help you keep an eye on what's going on at the police station first."
"Does it mean that even if Qu Biqian is caught, Fu Yanli will not be fucked?"
Lian Beichuan reluctantly nodded, "Even if Fu Yanli instigated her to do this, Qu Biqian is still an adult who can think independently."
"What kind of medicine did Fu Yanli give her? In just a few months, she became a demon!"
"Perhaps she does this for...'love'?"
Gu Qingdai said to her heart, don't spoil love, this is a perfect pity!
"Does Fu Yanli know how to read sonnets? Or does he smell of pungent perfume?"
Lian Beichuan pretended to be frivolous and said, "Why is Shopkeeper Gu so confused about amorous feelings? Don't women like them all?"
"Whoever likes it likes it, I can't afford this kind of 'love'."
"Then what do you want?"
"It's money." Gu Qingdai responded without hesitation.
Gu Qingdai's words were too straightforward, and even Beichuan didn't answer her question for a while.
Gu Qingdai guessed that she should have shocked him, "A gentleman loves money in a wise way. As for me, I just want to run a good career and earn a lot of money."
"So strong?"
"how about you?"
Gu Qingdai then asked about Lu Ji Company’s sponsorship of the beauty contest.
Lian Beichuan expected the Lu family to get involved.
Originally, entertainment venues like ballrooms were imported, and the Miss Luancheng beauty pageant was a product of Westernization.
The Lu family can be said to be the first among the four major families and even the entire Luancheng to advocate foreign affairs.
Isn't Mrs. Lu's lifelong wish to make her daughter a high-class lady?
Song Yueting has found the destiny of the Lu family.
Caobang is also very aware that its reputation is not very good, and dragging the Lu family into trouble will dispel the concerns of ordinary participants.
"Has Lu Mingze greeted you?"
"How else could I be so calm?"
Gu Qingdaixia thought for a long time, "So this competition will overall present a positive image?"
"Song Yueting will invite the deputy county magistrate and the director of the financial department to be the judges."
Song Yueting even invited these two figures because he was determined to win.
"What should you do with your Daluan?"
Lian Beichuan stared at Gu Qingdai flattered, "Are you worried about my business?"
"Whatever, just ask."
"Our Lianjia's main business is industry, as long as other industries do not lose money. Compared with Daluan Ballroom, I am more concerned about the batch of machines that are about to be transported."
"In that case, I want to get a share of the pie."
Gu Qingdai was initially afraid of Song Yueting. She was always afraid that something would happen if she got too close to this person.
But now that Lu Ji has joined and she has heard Lian Beichuan's comprehensive analysis, she feels that she can give it a go.
"You can't participate in the beauty pageant! Didn't you promise me before?"
Lian Beichuan thought Gu Qingdai had changed her mind and felt itchy in her heart.
She didn't participate in the beauty pageant, but she was already coveted by many people. If she participated in the beauty pageant again, wouldn't the consequences be disastrous?
He was too impatient and failed to control his voice, causing the guests next to him to look at him strangely.
Gu Qingsong stretched his neck and looked over, "What's going on? Why is Second Master Lian yelling at my sister?"
"It makes you feel like there are roundworms in Mr. Lian's belly."
Shao Shan chuckled to himself, maybe he couldn't figure out other things, but after staying in the Xingshi Teahouse for so long, he still couldn't figure out what Shaodong's family was thinking?
The blushing person turned into Lian Beichuan.
He lowered his voice and advised Gu Qingdai like an old father: "Song Yueting is a bad person, you have to stay away from him."
Gu Qingdai couldn't stop laughing, "I'm not participating in a beauty pageant, I just want to make some money."
She finally told him about the business opportunity she had discovered, and she didn't know why she told him about it. Maybe she thought he was more experienced in this area.
As expected, Lian Beichuan switched to meticulous work mode again and analyzed Gu Qingdai in a very short period of time.
He did not expect that Gu Qingdai was not satisfied with running a teahouse. She also wanted to continue to explore opportunities to make money in other fields.
Every time she tries to innovate, she faces the risk of failure, and Lian Beichuan still wants to help her share the risk.
It's a pity that the excuse "we all make money together if we have money" never works with Gu Qingdai.
"Why don't you recommend a lending bank to me?"
Gu Qingdai had long wanted to ask him this question, especially after the Zhong Family Theater was burned down.
Of course Lian Beichuan would not say that lending money requires repayment of principal and interest within a specified time, and he did not want her to take these risks.
So from the time he first wanted to invest in the Xingshi Tea House, he never thought about letting Gu Qingdai take this path.
I also had this consideration when I wanted to buy the Gu family's old house, but I let that little brat Fan Zheng get in the way.
Lian Beichuan once again made an excuse and asked her to try it first. If she could succeed, it would not be too late to consider borrowing money.
Gu Qingdai made a plan that night, which was very detailed.
The next day, she went to Lu Kee Store with great interest.
It happened that Lu Mingze was not in the shop. She wanted to come back another day, but Master Lu bumped into her at the door.
Mr. Lu didn't see Gu Qingdai visiting their home for a while, and he didn't even go to the house to wish him a happy New Year during the Chinese New Year. He was very picky.
Gu Qingdai apologized embarrassedly, but was finally taken back to the shop by Mr. Lu.
He immediately sent someone to find Lu Mingze and when he came back, Gu Qingdai was like a thorn in the back.
Lu Mingze returned in a hurry and saw his old man chatting happily with Gu Qingdai, and he was extremely happy.
"I won't disturb you young people talking about things. I have to go to church. Your mother is still waiting for me over there."
Mr. Lu held down his cane and stood up, walking very fast.
Lu Mingze pinched his nose in confusion, "Dad, this is your office, why are you leaving?"
Mr. Lu pretended not to hear, and only waved his cane a few times with his back turned.
"Dad, today is not Sunday. Mom is not in church at all."
Master Lu had disappeared without a trace. Lu Mingze looked back at Gu Qingdai with a smile, and blushed unknowingly.
