The guard saw that it was almost time: "Alright, it's time. Let's go."

Su Zhi had no choice but to leave. Before leaving, she repeatedly warned Li Yi to be careful and not be reckless.

Hua Manlou is now on the cusp of a storm, and any small move could bring disaster.

In this way, all his previous efforts would be in vain.

After leaving the prison, Su Zhi did not dare to waste even a second and directly returned to the shop.

She was tired all morning, and when she was dizzy, she remembered that she had not yet eaten lunch.

Qiu Hong was worried that her body wouldn't be able to support itself, so she took some pastries from the dessert shop to fill her stomach.

"Boss, the business on the second floor isn't very good today. Many people didn't dare to come when they heard that Manager Li was causing trouble. "I don't know who said anything, but Manager Li had epilepsy and could hurt people at any time. Rumor has it that with this commotion, there would be fewer customers."

It was within reason that Su Zhi thought of this. There were many people who were staring at Hua Manlou, so she naturally wanted to take advantage of a few more opportunities to kick him a few more times.

Opening a department store was cheaper than opening other stores, which meant that selling rice would offend the people in the rice shop; selling cloth would offend the people in the cloth shop; and selling fresh fruits and fruits at the same time would even offend the pawn vendors.

However, Su Zhi had the foresight to greet the various great trading companies in advance, in order not to offend these people.

Even so, self-deception was still present everywhere in the shopping mall. This was a battle that could not be seen.

"Just keep working as usual and pretend that this didn't happen. If someone is gossiping and talking about Flowerland, don't pay any attention to them. "

"Then wouldn't we be letting them do as they please? To slander? "

Su Zhi was also helpless. While gossip was indeed troublesome, wouldn't it be even worse if someone took advantage of this gap to dig a hole for them to jump into?

"In short, all of you should remember that you can't argue with people outside. Calm down and do your own things."

Although Qiu Hong was unwilling, she knew that Su Zhi was right.

Flowerwood's reputation was not to be harmed. Business was all about reputation, and not just fame, but fame as well.

"Boss, thank you for your hard work. I will pass on the message and make sure that our people will be careful and not fall victim to others' rule."

"Mm, you can leave now."

Su Zhi supported herself with her head, feeling exhausted after busying herself for the entire morning.

She was acutely aware that there was a crisis hidden beneath the invisible undercurrent.

Since the opening of the restaurant, Hua Manlou's business has been very good. Many people come to the restaurant to listen to music and drink tea after lunch each day. This afternoon, however, it was extremely cold and desolate. There were only a few people, in twos and threes.

Part of the reason for this was that Li Yi had destroyed the Hundred Flavors Clear Harmony. It wasn't surprising that there were fights in the mall, but there were also times when the lips and teeth had fallen.

The Hundred Flavors Clearing Huan could not be left alone, and the number of customers in Flower Mansion had been reduced by half.

Su Zhi thought about the ridiculous relationship between the two of them and found them laughable.

Without the accountant in the main hall, Su Zhi personally went up to fight.

The business on the third floor was handed over to the new acolytes. She went up to receive a rather large customer, since the business on the first floor was deserted. A few people came and went, and soon, the dessert shop had a special customer.

At first, Su Zhi was busy with her accounts with her head down. Someone directly rushed into the dessert shop. She just treated it as a guest coming back and didn't need to call anyone.

The man had bought a few bags of new products and was quite surprised to see Su Zhi sitting at the counter.

"Oh ~ It's you, little lady?"

Hearing the call, Su Zhi raised her head and saw a young master dressed in black silk clothing looking at her with a bag of pastries in his hand.

She was stunned for a moment. She also did not expect to meet him here. "Young Master Li?"

Li Wuyou stepped forward and placed the pastries on the counter. Smiling, he joked, "I didn't think that this little lady would have such great ability. To think that she would actually take on the task of accounting."

Su Zhi smiled. "Young Master Li, you flatter me. I can barely handle the lack of people in the shop. On the other hand, Young Master, you also like the pastries in our shop?"

Li Wuyou shrugged his shoulders, glanced at the exquisite pastry, and shook his head. "I don't like to eat sweet things. My junior likes it, that's why I came here specially."

Su Zhi understood and gave her price on the abacus. "You can consider it cheaper. There's a total of one and a half taels of silver."

Li Wuyou took out some silver and paid the bill, but he was not in a hurry to leave.

"Is there anything else Young Master Li would like to see?"

He scratched his head and laughed simple-mindedly, "Can this little lady impart culinary arts to me? After Hua Xuan ate the congee you made, she was full of praise. She kept yelling that she wanted to eat it. "

Mentioning the man with the peerlessly beautiful appearance, Su Zhi was once again surprised. Weren't those two enemies? Why were they talking about the same thing?

"Sure, no problem. I'll just write down the ingredients and procedures for you."

Li Wuyou cupped his fist and proudly boasted, "I didn't think that this little lady would be so generous. I'll thank you. If you need anything in the future, just say it."

In any case, he didn't need to rely on his cooking skills to cook, so it was fine to tell him the secret recipe. Su Zhi wrote down the necessary ingredients and cooking time according to the procedure. She did not take the promise made by Li Wuyou seriously.

"When I came to the shop, I heard a bit of news. I said that you two were selling ruined rice to others. Before, I looked down on you two, but now, it's my fault. You guys must have been wronged."

After writing the secret recipe to him, Su Zhi shook her head and said with a wry smile, "I've been plotted against once. I'll grow intelligence after suffering a setback. Next time, I'll know how powerful I am."

Li Wuyou folded the paper slip and placed it carefully in his pocket. After pondering for a moment, he finally spoke.

"If you really were attacked by someone, why not uncover the truth and return the innocence of that person to everyone?"

He knew how much business people cared about their reputation. It was like how they would lose their reputation if they lost their goods.

Su Zhi sighed. How could she not know of this strong relationship? But things were all stuck together, and they were at a complete loss. She had no idea how to find out the truth of this matter.

"How about I help the little girl find out what's going on for you?"

When Su Zhi heard this, she looked at him in disbelief. "Young Master, are you serious?"

"Of course I'm serious. Don't look down on us, the Moyun Castle is the best place in the world to work as an assistant in the investigation of darts. Everyone knows how powerful the Moyun Castle is."

"So it turns out that Young Master Li has such a great background. I apologize for my disrespect. If you really can help me this much, I will repay you handsomely after this matter. "

Regarding Li Wuyou's understanding of him, Su Zhi had only stayed to have a small fight with Hua Li, and had also conveniently destroyed her family's house —

He had a violent temper but was skilled in martial arts. He had never thought that he was someone from the Black Cloud Stronghold.

Su Zhi had more or less heard about the rumors regarding Moyun Castle. It was probably a place where all the heroes of the martial arts world gathered. It was a place that every man in the forest respected and respected.

Li Wuyou opened his mouth and agreed to this matter. After discussing the strangeness of the matter with Su Zhi, he took her letter and went to the warehouse.

The most important thing about the case was that he was wearing the uniform of an official.

If he hadn't offended the higher-ups, he wouldn't have acted rashly.

However, the problem was that Su Zhi did not know who she had offended. Even if Li Wuyou asked again and again, it would be useless.

In the blink of an eye, it was already dusk. The business inside the store had become even colder.

On the opposite side, the hundred types of people had already closed their doors. In the blink of an eye, it became much quieter.

Before he left, Yu Zhenhong brought someone to the store to ask for an explanation. He also threw the calculated bill in front of Su Zhi, saying that they would not be able to open Hua Manlou's door without paying the bill within three days.

Su Zhi knew that her side was unreasonable, so she nodded and admitted that she would be compensated.

After sending her off, she opened up the accounts. When she saw the numbers on it, she couldn't help but catch her breath.

She already knew that Yu Zhanhong was a man who was good at everything, but she didn't expect him to ask so much.

"How outrageous! We merely broke a few plates, bowls, chopsticks, and a few jars of wine, but he actually wants us to accompany him for so long!"

He even said that he had destroyed the best tables and chairs in the restaurant, and had actually asked for double the amount of company. How repulsive!
