You don't even need to turn around to know who said that.

Gu An'an glanced at the waiter, who seemed somewhat at a loss. She smiled and reassured him, "Since Miss Zhao is so generous, why don't you quickly write it down for her?"

Seeing that the man in front of him wasn't angry at all, the waiter was somewhat relieved. "Then I'm really sorry, Manager Gu."

In business, it's natural to maintain harmony and avoid offending anyone. Manager Gu was always easy to talk to, and the shop assistants were happy to deal with her.

Seeing that the person wasn't angry, he quickly wrote down all the cotton cloth in the account.

Zhao Qianqian felt like she had punched a cotton ball. Why was Gu An'an not angry at all when she had taken Gu An'an's things?

What's going on here?

"Wait, I won't..."

"You like to eat persimmons?"

Zhao Qianqian's eyes widened upon hearing this, and she quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe her mouth. Could it be that she had left some residue on her face in her haste to leave?

But there was nothing on the handkerchief.

“I smelled persimmons. Last November, I sold some persimmons at the market. Later I heard that you liked to eat them. I wonder if those persimmons that cost one penny each ended up in your hands.”

Zhao Qianqian's voice became slightly shrill upon hearing this, "Who would eat your persimmons that cost one coin each? I eat persimmons that cost one hundred taels of silver each!"

Everything she uses is extremely precious.

Food is no exception.

Gu An'an laughed when she heard this. "Really? Then you got ripped off. I did sell persimmons for one coin each last year."

Zhao Qianqian's face darkened. "I'm not going to talk to you about this." She was a little scared because Gu An'an had spoken so confidently just now that she felt Gu An'an wasn't lying.

If Gu An'an wasn't lying, then wouldn't that mean admitting she'd been deceived?

The persimmons, which cost one coin each, were being told by the people in the manor that they were worth one hundred taels of silver each, making them extremely precious.

Isn't this blatantly calling himself a fool and someone who's been fooled?

Besides, they actually said that such delicious persimmons only cost one coin each.

Zhao Qianqian cannot accept this, absolutely not!

Gu An'an said with great regret, "That's such a pity, I still have some delicious persimmons there."

Delicious persimmons?

Zhao Qianqian remembered the persimmons she ate last year.

She loved eating persimmons since she was little, and her father always tried to get them for her.

The more she ate, the more discerning Zhao Qianqian's tastes became.

This persimmon isn't sweet enough, that one is a bit astringent, this one is ripe, that one isn't quite ripe yet.

In short, each has its own flaws.

The few persimmons I ate last year were truly delicious.

"Those persimmons, are they really yours?"

She found it hard to believe; how could Gu An'an have such great abilities?

Seeing the skeptical look on Zhao's daughter's face, Gu An'an's smile widened. "Believe it or not, it's up to you."

No matter how rich she is, this girl is still a foodie.

If they're foodies, that makes things easier.

In any case, it's better to be able to get Zhao Qianqian under control and cooperate with her than to be her mortal enemy.

Having more friends means having more options, but having more enemies only brings endless trouble.

Although Gu An'an wasn't afraid of trouble, who wouldn't want to have an easier time?

Sometimes it's best to avoid things if possible. So why go against this young lady if you can win Zhao Qianqian over?

Foodies are relatively easy to control; their weakness lies in their appetite.

A delicate little girl with a weakness is not scary.

Gu An'an looked at the person who showed some anxiety, "Of course."

"Then why are you asking me this? Tell me, how much silver do you want?"

Zhao Qianqian had a serious expression on her face. She had made up her mind that she couldn't let Gu An'an make such an outrageous demand. If Gu An'an dared to ask for more than one hundred taels of silver per person, she definitely wouldn't agree.

Even the most delicious persimmons aren't worth this price!

The young girl's thoughts were written all over her face, and Gu An'an couldn't help but laugh. "It's nothing, I just want to make friends with Miss Zhao."

friend?

"I don't care about you... What nonsense are you talking about? If you want to talk business, then talk business properly. If not, then forget it." She is of such noble status, why would she want to be friends with Gu An'an, a common woman?

My parents wouldn't agree to it.

The spoiled Miss Zhao is not so easy to "deal with," Gu An'an sighed, "Then forget it, I guess I was just being presumptuous."

She ignored Zhao Qianqian and started talking to the shop assistant, "Could you please help me find out and let me know if you have any news? I have something to do at the shop, so I'll head back first."

The shop assistant was afraid the two would fight, but he was relieved to see Gu An'an leaving. "Then please go, Manager Gu. I'll tell you when I get the news."

We can even get a nice meal then.

Manager Gu has always been extremely generous.

Zhao Qianqian grew anxious seeing the person leaving so abruptly, "Why are you leaving? We haven't reached an agreement yet! All you want is money, right? How about two hundred taels of silver for one persimmon?"

The young lady of the Zhao family didn't feel any shame at all after slapping herself in the face. This was just her hobby, and she believed that her parents would understand her, right?

The shop assistant was dumbfounded when he heard this. Two hundred taels for a persimmon? Is this persimmon made of gold? How can it be so valuable?

However, Zhao Qianqian's offer only earned her a mocking laugh from Gu An'an. "Miss Zhao just offered three times my price, thirty thousand taels without hesitation, just to spite someone. How come you're only offering two hundred taels now? You won't even give me three hundred taels?"

Zhao Qianqian blushed upon hearing this. "Gu An'an, don't push your luck. Go and find out who would spend three hundred taels of silver to buy a persimmon. Do you think that person is a fool?"
