"Miss Lin is too modest. But rest assured, since you are cooperating with me, I will definitely not let you suffer a loss."
Su Qianjin also smiled and made a generous promise.
"Sure, now that we know each other, I won't call you Boss Su anymore. I'll call you Uncle Qianjin, and you can just call me Yuxin. That way it won't seem so formal!"
Seeing how generous he was, Lin Yuxin simply changed how she addressed him, so she wouldn't feel awkward taking money from him in the future, hehe!
"Alright, Uncle Qianjin will take advantage of you this time, Yuxin! Hahaha!"
"Uncle Qianjin, I'll go back and draw some clothing designs first, and then send them to you in a few days. That's all for today, I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now."
Lin Yuxin stood up, ready to say goodbye. She hadn't forgotten that she still had to go see the number one handsome man later!
"Alright, then Uncle Qianjin will be waiting for your things!"
Su Qianjin also stood up, ready to see Lin Yuxin off.
[Uh! Uncle Qianjin has so many internal conflicts, should we remind him?]
Lin Yuxin took a few steps, then stopped and turned to Su Qianjin behind her, saying:
"Uncle Qianjin, be careful of the people around you. Only when the internal troubles are eliminated can you live a better life."
Su Qianjin was taken aback, recalling the voice she had just heard. It seemed that the voice really was Lin Yuxin's, but she hadn't opened her mouth at the time. Could it have been her inner thoughts?
So what she said is true? His wife and his brother were having an affair? And he even poisoned her? Looks like he needs to investigate!
Su Qianjin snapped out of her daze, her expression turning serious, and earnestly said to Lin Yuxin:
"Okay, Uncle Qianjin understands. Thank you for reminding me, Yuxin!"
"Yes, it's good that you know. Here, take this. It's an antidote pill; you might need it sometime."
As Lin Yuxin spoke, she took out a medicine bottle from her bosom and handed it to Su Qianjin.
"Alright, Uncle Qianjin will accept it, as a token of Yuxin's gratitude."
Su Qianjin took the medicine bottle. Although he didn't know if it would work, it was rare for Lin Yuxin to help him unconditionally.
"Okay, we'll be going now!"
Lin Yuxin waved her hand, then called for Xiao Deng, woke up Xiao Hao, and walked out of Cuiya Building.
Su Qianjin saw the person to the door and then stopped seeing them off.
"Boss, what are they doing...?"
When the shopkeeper saw the boss personally escorting the person out, his heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly stepped forward to ask cautiously.
Su Qianjin withdrew her gaze and looked at the shopkeeper. She heard Lin Yuxin's thoughts, saying that the shopkeeper was his wife's man who often stole money from his shop and even poisoned him!
His gaze towards the shopkeeper gradually turned cold, and he spoke in a chilling voice:
"You don't need to come tomorrow!"
"No... Boss, why? Did that brat say something to you? She's just talking nonsense. I've worked hard in this shop for so many years, I've done my job well, even if I haven't made any great achievements!"
When the shopkeeper heard that he was going to be fired, he panicked. If he was fired, where would he find a place with such high wages, where he could sometimes even sneak in some extra money?
No, he can't leave!
Su Qianjin didn't waste any words with him. She returned to the counter, opened the drawer, and found that one hundred taels of silver were missing. This was the money he had put in when he came this morning.
He explained why his shop's business was getting worse and worse, and why he was receiving less and less money, because it was all going into his hands.
"You've taken over a thousand taels of silver from me over the years. If you don't leave, I'll report you to the authorities and make you return the silver!"
Su Qianjin looked coldly at the shopkeeper and said sternly.
"No, no, I didn't take it."
The shopkeeper panicked and hurriedly shook his head in denial.
Su Qianjin immediately grabbed the shopkeeper's clothes, reached into his sleeve, and pulled out two silver ingots.
"You still say you didn't take it? What is this? You, a shopkeeper, have a hundred taels of silver on you? If you say another word, I'll let you taste the feeling of being beaten. Now get out of here!"
When Su Qianjin gets serious, she can be quite intimidating. Plus, the shopkeeper has indeed taken a lot of money over the years. If he really ends up in the yamen, he'll be locked up for life!
He was scared and quickly said:
"I'm leaving, I'm leaving!"
The shopkeeper shrank back and left.
Su Qianjin put the hundred taels back into the drawer. It seems she needs to find a reliable person.
Lin Yuxin was unaware of what had happened at Cuiya Tower after they left. They were now looking for a place to eat because they had been delayed and it was already time for dinner. Xiao Dengzi said there was a famous restaurant here called Fuman Tower.
Lin Yuxin knew that Fu Man Lou's crispy chicken was delicious; in the story, it was incredibly popular.
Without any hesitation, Lin Yuxin headed straight for Fu Man Lou.
When the three of them arrived, it was lunchtime, so the place was packed with people.
"This way, sir."
After Lin Yuxin and her two companions entered, the waiter led them to a corner spot on the first floor, which was one of the last two seats available.
Lin Yuxin wasn't picky; she was just there to eat and didn't care about the location, so the three of them sat down.
Lin Yuxin ordered several signature dishes and crispy chicken. The food was served in no time, and the three of them enjoyed their meal immensely.
"Mmm, this crispy chicken is delicious, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. I'll pack some to take home for my mother to try!"
Lin Yuxin's mouth was stuffed full, but she still couldn't help but sigh.
"Yes! That's fine, Madam will definitely like it!"
Xiao Hao also ate with extra care. He used to not even have enough to eat, but now that he was at the Zhao residence and eating well, he cherished every meal.
"Xiao Hao, eat more!"
Lin Yuxin had just finished eating the crispy chicken in her hand when she tore off a piece of chicken leg for Xiao Hao to eat.
