Chapter 79: Origin of the Debt of Love

The news that someone wanted to buy Shixianglou for two thousand gold coins spread like wildfire.

This made the merchants on Pinglai Street excited.

It has only been a little over a month since the opening of Shixianglou.

The shop is rented. Even if the business is good, it can't be worth two thousand gold, right?

Although everyone doubted the authenticity of this statement, they heard from the diners who were compensated that someone had booked the entire Shixianglou yesterday just to discuss something with the owner.

That is absolutely impossible to fake.

Therefore, as soon as the news came out, everyone began to speculate who could be so generous?

What exactly did you like about Shixianglou?

More people were curious about what this female shopkeeper, who was unmoved by gold, relied on to be able to refuse so firmly.

However, the ten shop owners of the Shixianglou branch were very nervous when they heard the news.

They all found Su Shengsheng, hoping to find peace of mind.

Although they also came here to make money, they have not yet mastered the skills. If Su Shengsheng leaves, won't they become helpless?

What's more, they have experienced the joy of making money without doing anything by following Su Shengsheng. Since the launch of the Monopoly game, their daily income has been flowing in like water, so naturally they don't want to stop.

Especially when I heard that someone was offering to buy it at a high price, I became more determined to continue.

In the private room

Facing these ten nervous shopkeepers, Su Shengsheng first gave them a reassurance: "Please rest assured, shopkeepers. I naturally understand whether making short-term profits is more important or making long-term profits is more critical."

That's right, she deliberately spread the rumor because she lacked an information network and hoped to use the power of others to find the person behind the scenes.

Secondly, no matter how prominent the other party's identity is, she is not afraid.

Even if you can't compete with it in the end, you can still take this opportunity to increase your own popularity.

She has been looking for someone to join her, but it doesn't matter if someone wants to steal her away.

If the sailors pierced the bottom of her boat just as she was setting sail, she would not dare to go into the water easily.

However, these shop owners were very trustworthy. Not only did no one suggest quitting while the going was good, but they were also willing to add funds and join her workshop business.

They were afraid that she would be swayed by immediate interests and lose the advantage of the alliance.

After all, they had already boarded her "pirate ship" and offended other merchants on Pinglai Street.

If we don't unite, we will be completely suppressed.

Su Shengsheng was not afraid of short-sighted people. She knew that they invested not because they were interested in the workshop business, but just to show their loyalty.

Therefore, she only collected a symbolic amount and said, "Please rest assured, shopkeepers. You all know that I can only muddle along here for the rest of my life."

Who doesn’t know that the imperial tutor was exiled to the frontier for offending the emperor and was never allowed to return to the capital?

She is a weak woman, where can she go?

After hearing her say this, Tang Zheng felt relieved.

It’s not that he doesn’t want Shixianglou to move to a higher level, but the other party has not contacted them at all and obviously only values ​​Su Shengsheng.

It seems that this person will definitely not care about the interests of other merchants, and only wants to use large sums of money to lure them into killing each other.

Tang Zheng and Wan Quan saw it very clearly. This time they could not undermine their own people no matter what, otherwise they would have no place to stand in Pinglai Street.

Seeing that Su Shengsheng had no such plans, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

He also told Su Shengsheng that if she had any financial difficulties, she could discuss it with them first.

While people on Pinglai Street were watching, people on Changhua Street were even more confused and couldn't understand what was going on.

They had already found out who was trying to buy the property at a high price, but this only made them even more confused.

The Yunyin family's business is booming and is one of the best in the whole of Nanling.

How could you be interested in this small restaurant?

Finally, after being guided by an expert, they finally understood.

It turns out that this young lady from the Jun family, who came in disguise and in a low-key manner, had other intentions!

Who are the regular customers of Shixianglou?

That person is naturally the King Xuanming, who is known to everyone.

The young lady of the Yunyin family is deeply infatuated with King Xuanming, which has long been a secret known to everyone.

However, King Xuanming was unsympathetic to this beauty and stayed in the military camp all year round. He seldom even returned to the palace in Chiyan City. He would only go to Lingshan to visit Princess Shuhua during festivals.

Miss Junyao is in her youth, waiting to be married. Seeing that she has no plans to get married, how can she not be anxious?

I also want to find an opportunity to have more contact with King Xuanming.

While everyone was eating melons, Su Shengsheng was shocked.

How could she have imagined that the guest who did not want to reveal her identity that day was actually the daughter of Yunyinjun's family?

If she had known this earlier, how could she not accept the two thousand taels of gold?

Although there was a hint of betrayal in it, it was indeed unreasonable for her to stop the young lady who had chased people all the way to the store.

When the rumors from the outside world reached her ears, Su Shengsheng immediately regretted it. "Why didn't you say so earlier? I'm just moving a place, why make such a big fuss and make me think you're trying to steal my business!"

She sighed helplessly and looked at Qing Ning who was sneering at the side: "Hasn't laughed enough yet?"

"They say it's worth a fortune to buy smiles, but I've never heard of buying..." Qing Ning probably felt that it was inappropriate to say that to Xie Xuan, so she stopped talking abruptly.

Su Shengsheng couldn't help but feel a headache when she saw the gossip fire burning in Qingning's eyes.

This time, not only did they know each other's identities, but I'm afraid the whole street has heard about it.

If she had known that this was a romantic debt, how could she have dared to embarrass Miss Jun so much?

If Miss Jun heard these words about being eager to get married, she would probably have to suffer the consequences.

"What a mistake, what a mistake." Su Shengsheng sighed and held his forehead.

How could she have imagined that the other party was not interested in her store at all, but was only interested in the customers in the store.

Even if she had a hundred brains, she would never have thought of such a thing.

Seeing that the news had already been spread, it could not be taken back, and Xie Xuan was also implicated and became the topic of conversation among others.

Su Shengsheng really regretted her decision.

"Forget it, I'd better hide in the mountains for two days." Knowing that it was not the opponent who was causing trouble, Su Shengsheng stood up and pushed all the affairs in the store to Qingning.

King Xuanming was only here to take care of her business and to keep her company, but she spread the news about him and his rumored girlfriend all over the place. Wouldn't it be extremely embarrassing if they meet in the future?

"Ah!" Qing Ning couldn't laugh anymore this time. "How would I dare? What if they asked me? What would I say?"

Su Shengsheng waved her hand: "Why would General Xie ask such an embarrassing question?"

Qing Ning was still worried: "Miss, if the young lady from the Jun family knew about this, would she come and cause trouble for you?"

They seem to be more difficult to deal with than those grown men.

Women are always narrow-minded.

Su Shengsheng paused, "Isn't that possible?"

Who told them not to reveal their identities and purpose that day?

Qing Ning thought for a moment and said, "Yeah, after all, we didn't dig it out ourselves." But she still felt a little guilty when she said this.

Just as Su Shengsheng was walking towards the door, Qing Ning couldn't help but ask, "If Miss Ruojun comes to buy the store again, should we sell it?"

When Qing Ning said this, for some reason, Su Shengsheng felt as if she was asking whether she wanted to "sell" Xie Xuan.

She hesitated and said, "Isn't it coming?"

Miss Jun Yao looks extremely noble, how could she be the kind of person who would be turned away twice?

However, she pursued him so persistently, even to this point, and it was obvious that she was someone who would not give up easily.

"If he really comes, just sell it at the original price." Based on the principle of helping others to achieve their goals and rather demolish ten temples than ruin a marriage, Su Shengsheng decided to make the money conscientiously.

As for the debt of love between the two, it is none of her business as an ordinary person.

Qing Ning snorted with a stern tone, "Young lady really values ​​profit over friendship."

"If General Xie has no interest in Miss Jun, he will naturally not come to Shixianglou in the future. I am just helping them." Su Shengsheng walked out of Shixianglou nonchalantly.
