Transmigration: From Farmer To Empress

Chapter 1377 The pain of picking lotus (1)

The copper hot pot was steaming, and delicious food such as thin slices of mutton, fresh vegetables, and seafood were tumbling up and down in the pot. Mo Shuya ate very deliciously and applauded while devouring it. Chao Gei’s eating movements are very beautiful. While eating, she holds the handkerchief and gently nods her mouth. Her movements are very graceful and elegant.

Xiangyun was already full, and he lowered his head in boredom and played with the leftover crab shells on the table. Situ Changge was also attracted by her childish game, and his eyes always drifted towards her unconsciously.

At this time, the waiter knocked on the door and came in and said: "Master, Mr. Huo Yuan has arrived. He is in the private room next to you. Mr. Huo came with two other gentlemen. They want to see you."

Upon hearing this, Caiwei hurriedly put down her chopsticks and stood up, saying to Liu Xi, "Please help me accompany them first, and I'll go over there and take a look!"

The purse she gave to Huo Yuan was found out by Nangong Yu before, and she has always been worried about it. After she came back, she immediately sent someone to find him, trying to get the purse back, but she learned that he had gone out. I don’t know when I can come back.

These days, she has been remembering this matter. When she heard that Huo Yuan was coming, of course she hurried to find him. The purse must be returned, because it is related to Mayfair's reputation, and she cannot afford to be careless!

Huo Yuan came with An Qilu and Cao Jin. When Caiwei entered, the three of them were drinking.

When he saw Caiwei, Huo Yuan's eyes dimmed for a moment, then returned to normal, and said with a smile: "Long time no see...how are you?"

Caiwei's identity is no longer what it used to be. He can no longer call her Caiwei's sister or sister, but he can't say the word empress, so he has no choice but to call her nothing.

Caiwei understood what he was thinking, nodded and smiled: "Thank you for your concern, I'm fine!"

An Qilu said: "Your Majesty, Mr. An is here today. Firstly, he is celebrating the opening of the business, and secondly, he is paying off the debt."

Caiwei said: "Privately, everyone should call me Caiwei. We are all friends and business partners. Calling me empress seems too foreign."

"Yes, An remembered it!"

An Qilu continued: "The sales volume of the batch of glass you left me before has been very good, and there is not much left. The 60,000 taels of silver I owe you are ready. I just don't know when I will pay you back? Is it necessary?" Check or cash? Where to send it?"

Caiwei said: "Give me the banknote, just give it to me now!"

Money has been tight for Caiwei in the past two days. Now that the New Year has closed, the weather is getting colder, and hundreds of nursing homes need a lot of charcoal fires for heating; also, the Chinese New Year is about to come, and she plans to give tens of thousands to the nursing homes. Make personal improvements, improve the food, and give out some New Year gifts or something, so that they can also feel the happiness of the New Year.

These expenses add up to a very huge amount. Although her business is booming and she is making money every day, because of these tens of thousands of mouths that are all about food but not profit, she often falls into a situation of being stretched and unable to make ends meet!

It happened that she had no money recently, and An Qilu came to pay back the money. For her, it was like giving timely help, and she was so excited that she accepted the bulging bag that An Qilu offered with both hands.

"Here are the 60,000 taels of silver notes owed to you. They belong to Daxing Bank on Surabaya Street. You can exchange them at any time."

Huo Yuan smiled at Caiwei and said, "We had agreed to cooperate before, but we didn't expect Brother Qilu to pry us away."

Once before, Caiwei did talk to Huo Yuan about cooperating to sell glass, but at that time the glass market in Beijing was not yet saturated and the demand was huge. The speed of glass production in Lingbei was not as high as it is now. The supply of glass still exceeds the demand, so I have never really cooperated with him.
