When Luo Lingliu was doing business in the capital, his eloquence was already first-rate, earning him praise. However, when he arrived in Jiangning, he unexpectedly met a woman with even greater eloquence. This woman was Shen Yourong.
Luo Lingliu negotiated with Shen Yourong for two full days, but despite his best efforts, he still couldn't get the price of the silk and satin down. Despite this, Luo Lingliu's admiration for Shen Yourong grew even stronger. After all, in this business world, meeting such a remarkable woman is truly rare!
After two days of contact, Shen Yourong also developed a special feeling for Luo Lingliu. Compared to other businessmen, Luo Lingliu was clearly at a higher level. Not only was he humorous, but even more rare was his elegant and easygoing temperament and gentle and delicate personality.
As time went by, Shen Yourong's feelings for Luo Lingliu grew deeper. Later, she found out that Luo Lingliu was actually the second son of the General's Mansion in Shangjing City, and her favorability towards him increased even more.
While Shen Yourong was negotiating the price with Luo Lingliu, she said with a smile, "Boss Luo, you have such high standards. I'm sure you must have been very precise when choosing a gift for your fiancée!"
Luo Lingliu stroked the exquisite jade fan pendant in her hand and responded with a smile, "Boss Shen really knows how to joke. I'm not engaged yet."
When Shen Yourong heard this, she couldn't help but feel excited, but she quickly concealed her emotions and pretended to be calm and continued to ask: "Then doesn't Boss Luo have a girl he likes?"
Luo Lingliu smiled wryly and said self-deprecatingly, "A businessman like me is probably not as popular as those literati in the eyes of girls!"
Next, they successfully signed the order contract. Shen Yourong casually asked, "Is Boss Luo ready to leave Jiangning immediately?"
Luo Lingliu shook her head slightly and replied, "I have another plan, which is to open a restaurant in Jiangning. I'm currently looking for a suitable location."
Chen Yourong smiled and said, "If Boss Luo encounters any difficulties in Jiangning, just come to me! After all, we are partners!"
Luo Lingliu nodded gratefully and replied, "Thank you very much for your kindness, Boss Shen!"
The next morning, the sun shone brightly across Jiangning City. Luo Lingliu, dressed in finery, strode with dignified presence onto Misty Rain Street, Jiangning's bustling commercial district. He had one goal in mind: to find a restaurant that would satisfy his taste.
As he was walking down the street with his servants, a loud noise reached their ears. Looking in the direction of the sound, they saw several vulgar men standing on the street, talking nonsense.
"Do you know? That Chen Yourong has a really powerful mouth! Any man who marries her will be unlucky for eight lifetimes!" The speaker was a man with pockmarks all over his face. The spots on his face made people feel disgusted.
However, the bearded man on the side showed a sly smile and retorted: "What do you know, you guy! Women like her are really attractive! Besides, the Shen family is very wealthy, so being a son-in-law is not a bad choice!"
At this time, another thin man interrupted and said, "Actually, if you think about it carefully, Shen Yourong is still quite pretty. It's a pity that the future child will take the Shen family's surname. Most people may find it difficult to accept it!"
This conversation piqued Luo Lingliu's interest. He paused, looking thoughtfully at the group. The name Shen Yourong stirred a ripple in his mind, and he shook his head. He decided to continue on his way, focusing on finding his ideal restaurant.
Next, Luo Lingliu heard more women and old ladies discussing Shen Yourong.
Luo Lingliu listened all the way and sighed deeply, feeling deeply: Since ancient times, it has been much more difficult for women to engage in business than men. But now, not only women and old women are talking about Shen Yourong, but even these men have learned to gossip like women. It is really shocking!
As Luo Lingliu pondered this, he suddenly noticed a growing number of pedestrians on the road, many men and women rushing in the same direction. Curious, Luo Lingliu sent a servant to investigate. A moment later, a servant arrived and reported, "Second Young Master, the Shen family is holding a wedding ceremony. The shop we had our eye on is nearby, but the crowds are so overwhelming today that it might be difficult to get through. Why not try again another day?"
At this time, a poor scholar at the side interrupted and said: "Sir, are you also planning to fight for the embroidered bouquet? I heard that whoever can grab the embroidered bouquet thrown by Shen Yourong, all the shops in the entire Misty Rain Street will belong to the son-in-law who marries into the family!" Luo Lingliu shook his head slightly, thinking to himself: Shen Yourong has always been smart and capable, why is she so rash in her own marriage?
Luo Lingliu was lost in thought, unaware of what was happening around him. Suddenly, a large crowd surged over him, surrounding him tightly and pushing him forward. His servants were also swept away by the surging crowd, and could only shout from a distance: "Second Young Master! Second Young Master!"
Luo Lingliu quickly responded, "Don't worry, we'll meet up at the inn later!"
At this moment, Ying Liu, standing in the distance, witnessed this scene and was shocked. Such a large crowd rushed to the place where the ball was thrown. If there was an assassin hiding in the crowd who wanted to kill the Second Young Master Luo, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Ying Liu acted decisively and quickly summoned Jian Si and Jian Wu. They used all their strength to push through the crowd and trudged forward towards Luo Lingliu.
