Song Xiangsi stared at him with a smile that was not a smile and said in a low voice, "Why is it that you really don't know?"
With that, she glanced behind her, and Meng Liangxuan immediately understood what was going on. He walked out, and when he came back, Ender was behind him, holding that shivering little fellow in his hand.
The waiter was thrown heavily onto the ground. When he saw Qiu Lingpi, tears streamed down his face as he shouted, "Shopkeeper, save me! Save me …" Wu wu wu … "I don't want to be sent to the yamen to prison …"
A buzz sounded in Qiu Lingpi's head. He knew that he had really screwed up this time. If he couldn't get away, he might as well stop circling around in circles.
"This …" He narrowed his eyes and snorted, his expression turning ugly. "Although I'm not doing this in a respectable manner, you secretly opened a shop behind my back. Lovesick girl, you've done this too unscrupulously."
Song Xiangsi raised her eyebrows, "Oh?" It sounded as if it wanted to hear the details.
Qiu Lingpi thought for a moment before clearing the room, "Let's talk about this in the back room."
This time, Song Xiangsi did not refuse. After all, this was not a glorious matter, and it would not be beneficial to either side if they caused trouble.
When they reached the inner room, Qiu Lingpi had Jin Xiangyu pour tea for them before sighing. He glanced at Song Xiangsi gloomily and spoke slowly, "You designed all the furniture in my furniture shop. That's right, but I also gave you the appropriate benefits, right?"
Song Xiangsi nodded and lowered her eyes slightly. "The price you gave me was indeed fair."
This was also the reason why she was afraid of her reputation as a furniture shop and didn't make a ruckus in the shop. There was still a favor between her and Qiu Lingpi, and she didn't want to make things awkward.
Qiu Lingpi nodded, and then said in an emotional tone, "Look, when you were in a difficult situation, I didn't take advantage of the fire to rob you, but now that you're so proud, you want to do it behind my back. This …"
Although these designs came from Song Xiangsi, when she came to the furniture shop, she had indeed learned a lot of things and could be considered half an apprentice. It had not even been two months and she had already established her own sect.
However …
Song Xiangsi suddenly raised her head and looked at Qiu Lingpi with a serious expression. Opening her mouth, she asked with a smile that was not a smile, "Who said that I'm going to set up a separate door and do it alone?"
Qiu Lingpi frowned and hesitated. "Aren't you renovating the shop?" Isn't it a furniture shop? "
Song Xiangsi nodded, "That's right. I don't have any customer resources here, nor do I have an old master to support me. Even with countless designs, no craftsman would be able to do it. How can a shop like this be opened?"
This time, even Meng Fanxuan was a bit confused. He looked at Song Xiangsi with a searching gaze, because even he thought that Song Xiangsi was going to open a furniture shop.
Song Xiangsi shook her head helplessly when she saw everyone's gaze on her. She smiled and said, "I never said that my shop was for the furniture business."
Seeing that she was serious, and that it didn't seem like she was making it up to cover things up, Qiu Lingzhi was overjoyed but at the same time curious.
"Then what business are you going to do?"
Song Xiangsi pursed her lips but did not intend to hide it. After all, Qiu Lingpi was the first boss she had met since she started her business. To some extent, he had helped her win the first pot of gold.
Thus, she thought for a moment and said, "I had already planned to provide you with furniture designs for a long time, and then open my own clothing store." Then, she thought for a while, and then said, "I had already planned to provide furniture designs for your shop for a long time, and then open my own clothing shop.
Song Xiangsi gave him a random reason. It was obvious that his thoughts were not that sudden, and that they were more convincing.
When Qiu Lingpi heard this, he immediately applauded. "It's great to open a clothing store, you're just a girl. It's a good job."
He was really happy in his heart. As long as they did not open a furniture store, and did not compete with him for business, and even continued to provide him with household designs, then whatever Song Xiangsi did would have nothing to do with him.
Song Xiangsi pursed her lips into a smile. Her smile was somewhat cold. "But it just had to be like this. A woman like me opening a store to do business is never easy, and someone even gave me some trouble so that my shop could not be renovated."
As she spoke, her gaze indistinctly fell on the small boy on the floor.
Qiu Lingpi immediately reacted, feeling a bit regretful. He was actually in a rush and had done some foolish things. He was afraid that he would not be able to fool her this time.
Rubbing the sweat off his forehead, Qiu Lingdi smiled awkwardly. He looked hesitantly at Song Xiangsi and opened his mouth to explain, but realized that there really did not seem to be anything to refute. He had indeed planned to create trouble at the beginning, what else was there to explain?
"Sigh …"
"This is my fault. If you insist on breaking off our partnership, then I won't stop you. I just hope that you can get better as the store's business grows bigger and bigger …"
He lowered his head, not knowing how to face Song Xiangsi. He simply stood up and was about to return to the backyard, when he heard Song Xiangsi's voice, which was neither cold nor indifferent, resounding from within the house.
"Actually, I was in the wrong with this matter as well. I planned to open a shop from the very beginning, so I should have told you about it and dispelled your doubts. After all, it's only natural for you to be worried."
Qiu Lingpi took a deep breath and turned his head to look at Song Xiangsi in a daze. After a while, he said hesitantly, "Then … You don't blame me. "
Song Xiangsi shook her head, her face calm. "At first, I resented the fact that I treated the furniture shop with sincerity, but didn't get anything in return. When I thought about your situation, I realized that you were worried that I would open the furniture store and take away your business at the same time that I broke off my relationship with you."
"In the business world, I was the one who was careless and used all sorts of methods."
Qiu Lingdi opened his mouth but did not say anything. He raised his hand to wipe his face, but felt even more ashamed. He also did not know how to face Song Xiangsi.
"It's my fault."
He was regretful in his heart. Why did he not believe Song Xiangsi when he was urged by Song Dabao to do something like this?
It was really wrong! Absolutely wrong!
