Qin Yao put down the black tea that she couldn't taste, looked into Jiang Wen's eyes and asked him:
"Did you get the cargo ship back successfully? Did they not give you any trouble?"
Jiang Wen's guess was instantly confirmed. It turned out that the person who helped behind the scenes was Qin Yao.
When they separated yesterday, he did not hold out much hope for Qin Yao. After all, she had made it clear that she did not want to use Magistrate He's back door.
But he didn't expect that she actually did it, and she was a bigger backer than the He family.
It was so fast, so fast that he still felt like he was in a dream.
She accomplished the problem that had troubled the business for two months in just a few hours.
Qiu Yan stood up and bowed to Qin Yao sincerely: "Thank you ma'am for your help. If it weren't for you, Fulong Commercial Bank would have been finished. Ma'am, you are the benefactor of the commercial bank and the benefactor of my Qiu family!"
"From now on, Madam, if you have any requests, please don't be polite to Qiu Yan. Just ask. As long as it is possible, all the staff of Fulong Commercial Bank will go through fire and water for Madam and do it for her!"
After saying that, he raised his hands and clapped them. His confidant brought up a tray covered with a red cloth and placed it in front of Qin Yao.
"It's just a small thank you gift, please accept it, Madam!"
Qin Yao looked at Jiang Wen in surprise, and Jiang Wen went along with it, "Madam, please accept it."
Qin Yao then lifted the red cloth, and a bright white silver ingot covered the entire tray, almost blinding her eyes.
However, Qin Yao remained calm as she stretched out her hand and brushed over the silver ingots worth twenty taels each.
In addition, there was a golden hairpin in the gap between the silver ingots. It was very heavy and weighed down the hand when it was picked up.
Qin Yao touched it twice and felt like she couldn't let it go. But just when Qiu Yan and Jiang Wen thought she was very satisfied and would accept it, Qin Yao put down the gold hairpin and took out five heavy silver ingots from the tray.
"I'll take the five hundred taels, and you can take back the rest."
Qin Yao placed five silver ingots next to her and lined them up in a row, which was really cute.
Qiu Yan glanced at Jiang Wen nervously. Jiang Wen knew this person, so he would definitely understand what she meant better.
Jiang Wen was confused. He realized today that he knew nothing about the woman in front of him.
But there is one thing he knows, this person never does any empty talk, if he wants something, he really wants it, and if he returns it, he really doesn't want it.
Jiang Wen personally took the remaining silver, handed it back to the boss, and shook her head secretly. It seemed that she was unwilling to continue to protect the company.
This pier was not successfully visited.
But in fact, they went to the wrong pier.
Qin Yao smiled and asked about the details of picking up the boat early this morning, wanting to know the strength of the Princess's guards.
Jiang Wen and Qiu Yan told her everything in detail and thanked Qin Yao again.
"Originally, my boss and I had prepared for the loss of 30% of the goods, but unexpectedly, only a few boxes of tea were missing, and the rest of the items that were taken away were returned."
At this point, Jiang Wen felt a surge of emotion. If he had known that Qin Yao had such strong connections, he wouldn't have wasted the previous two months.
All the money paid as bribes and the benefits promised were worth ten times what Qin Yao took today!
Qin Yao picked up the teacup and took another sip. Her eyelashes drooped, hiding the emotion in her eyes.
Mu Ling even went so far as to recover the embezzled goods on the cargo ship for the company. This kind of detail did not seem to be done casually.
If she guessed correctly, Mu Ling was preparing to support a new family.
The Fulon Company seemed to be much easier to control than Guo Lin. Although their strength was incomparable to Jing Yun's, if they could help up one Guo Lin, they could help up thousands of Guo Lins again.
Qin Yao secretly shook her head. The power struggle was so complicated. Her little mountain village was more comfortable.
In order not to waste the delicious food, Qin Yao ate two more bowls of rice.
Qiu Yan and Jiang Wen have been testing her attitude, hoping that she can help introduce them to their real benefactor.
Qin Yao shook her head and chuckled, "The time has not come yet. When the time is right, the opportunity will come to you."
"But." Qin Yao couldn't help but remind Qiu Yan, "Boss, you should think carefully. Risks and benefits often exist at the same time. The higher the benefits, the greater the risks. If you are not careful, you will lose your entire fortune and even your life."
There was no need to explain too much, Qin Yao believed that they would understand it themselves.
Guo Lin is a lesson for us. Being caught up in a power struggle is not a good thing.
Winning the bet is good, but if you lose, your entire clan should be exterminated, right?
Thinking of this, Qin Yao wanted to laugh. She couldn't even gather all nine clans.
Qiu Yan didn't understand why Qin Yao spoke ill of his backer, but he felt her reminder was kind and raised his teacup to toast Qin Yao.
Qiu Yan smiled bitterly and said, "Madam, my father was weak and died of illness when I was five years old. My mother remarried with my elder sister and moved to a faraway place. We haven't had any contact for so many years. I have followed my grandfather since I was a child and studied business with all my heart. I have long understood that there is no business in the world that is guaranteed to make a profit without losing money. Everything I do is just to hope that the foundation of my ancestors will not be ruined in my hands."
"If I can create another brilliant achievement based on the foundation laid by my ancestors, I will die without regrets!"
Qin Yao felt relieved. This was a group that even the three tribes could not come together to form, so the invisible checks and balances they faced were much less.
She raised her teacup and returned the toast: "Then I wish the boss all the best and everything will go well!"
Qiu Yan could not hide her excitement and she quickly exchanged glances with Jiang Wen. Both of them were looking forward to visiting the new headquarters of the Princess's Guard.
After the meal was over and the new order was signed, Qin Yao returned home with a full load of 1,000 taels of silver notes for a 50% deposit and 500 taels of silver ingots earned from her own labor.
I was planning to go shopping in the afternoon, and now that I have some money in hand, I can go shopping more comfortably.
When Qin Yao is in a good mood, Liu Ji has a good life. He is flattered to see Qin Yao walk into the cloth shop and says he wants to buy her a set of presentable clothes.
The cloth Qin Yao bought in the past were all of plain colors, but this time she boldly chose a piece of crimson purple cotton cloth.
Common people were not allowed to wear silk ostentatiously, but there were many merchants who wore it privately at home, so Qin Yao bought half a piece of crescent-white silk cloth, intending to take it back and make underwear to wear inside.
She was reluctant to use up the two rolls of jacquard silk that Qi Xiangun had given her, so she decided to use this half of it to feel the comfort of this good thing.
Qin Yao bought a bunch of cloth and picked out two exquisite silk flowers as New Year gifts for the women in the old house. Only then did the couple leave the cloth shop.
Passing by other shops, Qin Yao bought a large bag of various delicious and long-lasting smoked and pickled meats.
There were also candies and cakes that the children loved, all of which were bought. Liu Ji's arms were so full that his vision was almost blocked and he couldn't see the road clearly, so he quickly called for a stop.
Qin Yao glanced at his figure with disdain, "Then you go back first, I'll go around the silver shop by myself."
"Silver shop?" Liu Ji's eyes widened in shock. "You've already spent more than ten taels, and you're still going to the silver shop to buy jewelry?"
"I can spend the money I earn however I want!"
Liu Ji: “But.”
"Shut up!" Qin Yao warned dangerously: "Don't affect my good mood!"
The clerk at the door of the silver shop was very discerning. Seeing the pile of New Year gifts, he knew that the employer was very wealthy, so he immediately went forward to greet him warmly.
"Madam, please come in. Would you like jade or gold or silver? Or would you like to see the gemstone headpiece our craftsmen have just made?"
Seeing Qin Yao following the waiter into the silver shop that he had been afraid to enter before, Liu Ji did not hesitate for a second. He shouted, "Madam!" and followed with a smile.
He also wants to see what the jeweled headpiece looks like!
