Happy Little Scholar

"How was the discussion with them?" Li Yi stood at the door of the room and asked Lin Wanru.

"It's already been negotiated." Lin Wanru nodded, looked at him and said, "They will deliver the goods today. They said that if they come to Qi again in the future, they will also seek cooperation with the Lin family."

There was still a trace of doubt on her face. The price the Lin family had to pay for cooperating with these foreign businessmen was too small, and it was almost a guaranteed profit.

However, doing business involves taking certain risks, and there is no such thing as a guaranteed profit. After the initial surprise and surprise, she quickly calmed down and began to think about something deeper.

These foreign businessmen can indeed solve the Lin family's problems. If they can achieve long-term cooperation, they can completely get rid of the Bai family, Ma family and Xu family. And the low price offered by the other party will make the Lin family spend a huge amount of money. Profits, everything, are beneficial to the Lin family.

However, is there really anyone in this world who is selfless enough to give money to himself for free?

The more this happened, the more she felt that those people must have some intentions. The greater the profit they gave away, the bigger the conspiracy, which made her feel less at ease.

However, after discussing with those foreign businessmen just now, she began to feel uncertain about this idea.

All the treaties related to cooperation were very clear and distinct. After reading them word for word, she found nothing wrong.

These foreign merchants may be really short of money, so they sell the goods at low prices. In this way, the shopkeeper of Liulicu who eloped with his wife and sister has invisibly helped the Lin family a big favor.

Thinking about it this way, the disgust towards him in my heart actually weakened slightly.

As if she had thought of something, Lin Wanru suddenly looked up at him and asked, "Although there are not many jewelry shops in Fengzhou City, there are a few. Why did they find the Lin family?"

"These goods are not mine, how do I know why they chose the Lin family..."

"But it may also be because those foreign businessmen are interested in sex. Business is business. Miss Lin must be careful. Remember to beware of those unscrupulous people..."

Li Yi glanced at her and said: "The security in Fengzhou City seems to be not very good recently. In the past two days, I often see officers and soldiers arresting people outside... In short, Miss Lin must be careful in everything."

"That's because the censor from the capital is investigating corrupt officials. There has been a lot of noise these days. I heard that they have a wonderful method that can detect and detect corrupt officials in a very short time. …”

Lin Wanru couldn't continue talking. She glanced at Li Yi, and a strange expression suddenly appeared on her face.

Li Yi was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "It's good to investigate corrupt officials. These corrupt officials know how to plunder people's wealth and prevent people from living a good life. We should have investigated them long ago..."

Lin Wanru looked at him blankly and whispered: "Was it that night..."

"Hey, hey, what about this night and that night? You have to pay attention to what you say. It's so bad to be overheard. You don't even know what you are talking about..." Li Yi waved his hand and turned to leave: "I have to go back to cook. See you later, Miss Lin."

Lin Wanru stood there and flipped through the account books on the table. Doubt, confusion, and various mixed emotions appeared on her face. When she finally raised her head and looked out the door, there was no one there.

What is supposed to come will always come, and no one can escape it.

Maybe all this is destined by God.

Li Yi hummed a light tune, walked into the yard, and looked up habitually.

There was a room upstairs in the inn with an open window, and the old man named Xu stayed there temporarily.

Grandmaster Li Yi has met several people, including Ruyi, old man Chang, the Taoist nun, second uncle, I don't know if they count, and then there is "Old Monster Xu" upstairs.

I always thought that a grandmaster should be like an immortal. With a wave of his hand, powerful enemies were wiped out in ashes. Then he waved his sleeves and left gracefully without taking away a trace of cloud...

This is the first time I have seen a grandmaster who eats a white rabbit.

Miss Liu Er often does some activities in the yard. She is no different from normal people now, and dozens of normal people are definitely no match for her.

Judging from the fact that he is still standing here well, it should be some time before Ms. Liu Er fully recovers.

Li Yi walked into the kitchen, took out the warm concoction, walked to the stone table, looked back at Miss Liu Er, and said, "Put down the sword first, it's time to drink the medicine."

…

"drink!"

"I'd like to propose a toast to Shopkeeper Xu."

"Haha, Mr. Bai is too polite."

In the elegant room of a restaurant in the city, Bai Yu raised his wine glass, looked at the two men across from him, and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Ma, shopkeeper Xu, I'd like to toast you. Thank you both for what happened this time."

"You're welcome, you're welcome." A man with a short beard on his chin smiled and said: "The three of us are united and we are able to reach this point today. We should help each other in this small matter."

Another person beside him said: "Besides, if Nephew Bai takes over the Lin family, it will be a good thing for us."

The short-bearded man thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid that the Lin family will fight with us to the end, and that would be troublesome."

"The Lin family shouldn't be so irrational. In the entire Fengzhou, except for the three of us, they have no way to purchase goods. If they really fight with us, their losses will be even greater."

"That may not be the case. Miss Lin is in power now. She is in charge of all matters related to the Lin family's business. You all know her temper and her methods. It is possible that she will fight us to the death."

Bai Yu cleared his throat and said, "Don't worry, since this matter was proposed by me, I will not let you suffer any loss. Without the supply of goods, the Lin family will not be able to hold on for long. We just need to wait patiently. Even if something happens at that time, my Bai family can take up all the supply of the two families."

"That's great..."

The two of them were talking. He smiled and nodded, picked up the wine glass, and said, "Drink, drink..."

The door was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and a man dressed as a waiter came in and said a few words in the ear of the short-bearded man. The short-bearded man put down the wine glass and asked, "Really?"

The waiter nodded fiercely: "The person is waiting in the shop now."

The short-bearded man's eyes flashed a few times, stood up, bowed to Bai Yu and another man, and smiled: "Brother Xu, nephew Bai, something suddenly happened in the shop, Ma Mou excused himself first."

"No problem." Bai Yu nodded and said.

Watching him leave in a hurry, the man surnamed Xu and Bai Yu looked at each other, and doubts appeared in their eyes.

The man surnamed Xu glanced at him and asked, "Go and have a look?"

"Let's go." Bai Yu nodded and said.

The Ma family makes a living by selling jade materials. They have several shops. They are not a wealthy merchant, but they can also be called a wealthy family. They are well-known in Fengzhou City.

At this time, the shopkeeper Ma hurriedly stepped into the shop and asked impatiently as soon as he entered the door: "Where is the glass material?"

Inside the shop, several men in strange clothes stood there, one of them was talking strangely to the shop assistant while gesturing.

On the street, Bai Yu and the man surnamed Xu were walking quickly towards this side.
