"Thatâs right, letâs do it this way. I donât believe Gao Wei wonât be tempted."
"When Gao Wei really gets the tea shop, weâll have contributed, right? Then can we have the tea shop sell our pastries too? We could also enjoy the profits!"
Gao Yan laughed coquettishly, "Think about it, this way we connect with the Gao Family, our shop can make money, and we can get rid of the owner of Youqingwei, isnât this killing three birds with one stone?"
Niu Dazhi thought about it and, though he still felt the pinch of several thousand silver dollars, he figured it was still worth it. Couldnât he earn it back later?
So he agreed to spend more than seven thousand bucks to buy two tins of Liunian.
As for not succeeding, both he and Gao Yan thought that was impossible.
The Gao Family, at least ranks within the top six in the Capital. If they couldnât handle it, itâs unlikely that Youqingweiâs backing could overshadow the Gao Family, right?
How could that be possible?
Could it be that just randomly picking a house means youâre at the top of the elite?
Thereâs no such coincidence in the world. If there truly was, it would just mean they are incredibly unlucky.
Niu Dazhiâs sister was soon called over, took the money, donned a hat, and went to Youqingwei to buy Liunian.
Liunian is so expensive, when someone suddenly comes in without a word and buys two tins, the shop assistants were a bit curious. But theyâre in the business of selling tea, itâs not like they would grill someone for buying the most expensive tea, so they quickly packed the two tins of Liunian and handed them to her.
Since itâs the most expensive tea, Chiang Xiao paid particular attention to the packaging. No matter how many boxes a customer buys, thereâs always an elegant and suitable package.
The tea tins were custom-made, very thin bone china with patterns she painted herself. You could say that just the small tea tin alone was quite valuable.
The two tins came with a hard cardboard box, also featuring Chiang Xiaoâs hand-painted tea leaves, a pleasing green amidst a faint mist.
Then it was tied with silk and placed in a beautiful hand-held paper bag.
All of this was custom packaging, each one exquisitely crafted.
Niu Dazhiâs sister watched in a daze as the clerk packed everything and handed it to her, quietly marvelling at the beauty and the detail.
Though it was said that the two tins combined had only ten taels, they looked like they were worth every penny.
At this time, Chiang Xiao and Meng Xinian were upstairs.
But even downstairs, they wouldnât question a regular customer on why they bought two boxes of Liunian.
Chiang Xiao was asking Song Xingbai.
"Were you scared today?"
Song Xingbai found her tone a bit strange. Chiang Xiao seemed to be her age, no, probably even younger, yet her tone was as if she was much older.
"A little." She admitted honestly.
She was really scared tonight, because at first, she didnât know if the tea shop would protect her with all its might. Some businesses are afraid of offending local thugs, so theyâd sacrifice others if they could, not really standing up against them. After all, they have to keep their business running in the future.
At most, they just wonât hire her later, itâs no big deal to them.
If something happened to her...
That would be a problem for later, they obviously needed to handle the current crisis first.
So, at first, she was really scared.
Until Cheng Qiulian stepped out, and Kuang Yunxian was always protecting her, her heart finally calmed down a bit.
