Chapter 324



324 It’s really necessary

In the first month of the lunar year, there was no tea or snacks to entertain the guests. They didn’t even call for people to sit. This was the first time manager Cheng had encountered such a situation!

He now understood that there was no kind-hearted person in the Gu family, and they could not be at a disadvantage.

Shopkeeper Cheng could only awkwardly find a long bench and sit down.

From the point of view of the common people, the county magistrate’s family was indeed in the wrong in this matter. How could he say that he wanted someone else’s daughter to be a concubine without any care? wasn’t this thinking too highly of himself?

Not everyone was vain and greedy for power.

old master, old Madam, I’m sure you’ve heard about what happened on the fourth day of the new year. Actually, there’s still some misunderstanding. Said shopkeeper Cheng weakly.

“Don’t talk about those vexing things, let’s just talk about the incident at drunken River Restaurant! Although this matter has nothing to do with you, I’m afraid I can’t help but hit you.” Grandma Gu said coldly.

“Yingluo, alright!” Shopkeeper Cheng choked for a moment, then said, ” what the boss means is that this misunderstanding may not be so easy to resolve. Even if it is resolved, everyone will still have a knot in their hearts. Amiability begets wealth. If we can’t be friendly, where will the wealth come from? So, the owner wanted to cancel the cooperation and asked me to bring the contract. Of course, we at the drunken River Restaurant have Lady Cai’s guidance and the food that miss Gu Nian brought out. Naturally, we will not mistreat the Gu family. The one thousand taels he received before the new year could be considered as his salary for Lady Cai to guide him in the operation of the restaurant. We will also give miss Gu Nian a sum of money to buy the dishes she makes.”

The three of them looked at shopkeeper Cheng and didn’t reply.

“Also, the boss wants me to ask if miss Gu Nian has made any new dishes during this time,” shopkeeper Cheng continued. We’ll buy them as well. In the future, we’ll buy all the other dishes that miss Gu Nian has. That was a misunderstanding. Although we’re not cooperating, we can still do business.”

“Heh, I’ve never seen such a shameless person!” Grandma Gu laughed coldly. you’ve insulted the daughter of the Gu family and now you want to make money from her? Does your boss think he’s the king? Everyone had to listen to him? Who the hell is he? doesn’t he know what he’s doing?”

“Old lady, you can’t say that! The boss didn’t have any intention of forcing him. However, I hope that the Gu family can consider it carefully. After all, in Taoyuan County, if your boss gives an order, you will only harm other restaurants if you sell your dishes.” Shopkeeper Cheng said.

“Must you sell it to Taoyuan County? Could it be that Lord Cheng’s jurisdiction extended to the prefecture? The other counties are also under Lord Cheng’s control?” Grandpa Gu sneered.

“Old man, there’s actually no need to do this. Really, we’ve already worked together before and we understand each other. Whether it’s in terms of price or other aspects, our drunken River Restaurant is definitely trustworthy!” Shopkeeper Cheng said.

“It’s necessary, really, very necessary. Back then, the Father of the child, the child, and I believed in you, shopkeeper Cheng! And then, what happened? Without knowing the situation, your daughter was made a concubine?” Cai Xiaolian said in a serious tone.

Shopkeeper Cheng was speechless.

He didn’t know how to answer this, but it had nothing to do with him!

Lady Cai, the eldest young master is truly in love with lady Gu Nian. This time, he even asked me to send a letter to lady Gu Nian to apologize. Shopkeeper Cheng had no choice but to bring this up in advance.
