Meng Zhao's prescription still depended on him, so she quickly lifted her skirt and trotted after him, eagerly murmuring:

“Young Master Xiao, Mr. Xiao, Mr. Xiao, please introduce me to him. As you know, I am just a small merchant. If I rely on myself, I'm afraid I would never meet such a high-ranking official in several lifetimes. We are business partners, after all. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely not forget your kindness.”

Meng Zhao followed Xiao Youzhi into the room. When he stopped, she put her hands together and bowed to him with a sincere expression.

Seeing her like this, Xiao Youzhi frowned even more, his eyes filled with helplessness and confusion. "I just don't understand, where does a young lady like you get such a big temper? Wouldn't it be better to just do some small business honestly?"

Hearing him say that, Meng Zhao was somewhat displeased. "What's wrong with a young lady? She's a businesswoman too. What's wrong with seizing opportunities to climb the social ladder?"

Even so, remembering that she was currently asking for help, she quickly softened her tone and said sincerely:

“Young Master Xiao, we’ve known each other for so long. Tell me, when have I ever made you suffer a loss? I’ve heard that Chunfeng Restaurant’s business is booming. Outsiders say it’s the number one restaurant in the Zheng’an Dynasty. Although I can’t say I’ve made a huge contribution, I’ve certainly done my part. You should remember some of my contribution.”

“I know I am of lowly status and cannot be called your friend, but we have known each other for so long and you know my character. I am definitely not the kind of person who forgets kindness. I, Meng Zhao, guarantee that if you help me today and there is anything I can do for you in the future, I will do my best without hesitation.”
