The manager of this team is a short and fat young man named Han Baogui. Although he is a seasoned businessman, this is his first time in Jiangling, otherwise he would not be regarded as a newcomer by Yu Touer.

The father and son who were really in charge left the team in a hurry after finishing the restaurant and handed over the business to him.

At first, Han Baogui was a little complacent. After all, this was not a difficult task for him. He flattered and finally used money to settle the matter.

He had never expected to run into those corrupt officials from the local government office who came to pick a fight. The animal pulling the cart went mad for no reason and gave him a good beating. Fortunately, he was not beaten to death!

At first, he didn't see clearly who was the person who was holding his head, but later he recognized it as Chen Chang.

From a distance, I watched Chen Chang and Yu Tou'er whispering to each other. Yu Tou'er changed from being arrogant and domineering at first to being respectful later. It seemed that he still needed help from Chen Chang...

"Shopkeeper Han, I admire your great name, haha..."

When Han Baogui was having a headache, Chen Chang walked up to him with a smile, "Hey, Manager Han, what's the matter with you? Isn't this a flood that's flushing the Dragon King Temple? Oh my..."

Han Baogui was not smart enough and stammered, "Uh..., you..."

Chen Chang said with a beaming smile: "We met in the restaurant just now. Your shopkeeper was kind enough to give me a meal. I just don't know how to repay you..."

Han Baogui suddenly understood what was going on when these words came to his mind. When this favor of a meal happened, he was already outside arranging matters for the car team, so naturally he didn't know about it.

Originally, he was still full of resentment towards the shopkeeper, but at this moment, it disappeared in an instant.

Chen couldn't sing and really didn't know how to solve the problem at hand.

"Boss Han, please ask all the cars to pull over and wait for a while. Let's talk somewhere else!"

"Well... okay, okay..." Han Baogui regarded Chen Chang as his life-saving straw and dared not disobey.

Chen Chang took Han Baogui and walked away. When they arrived at that place, Han Baogui was stunned. Not only that, his legs trembled subconsciously.

This is a small tavern on the street. A low table near the window is filled with food and wine. Sitting behind the low table is Yu Tou'er, who is looking at them with a smile.

Not only Han Baogui, Chen Changxiao was also very surprised. There were no extra drinkers in the tavern. However, on the other side of the tavern, there was a woman sitting there. She was as pretty as jade, but her graceful and picturesque face was now full of panic. It was Shui Ling'er.

Chen Chang nodded to Shui Ling'er to comfort her and smiled at the boss. As expected of an experienced official, he was thorough in his work.

Yu Tou'er didn't dare to let Shui Ling'er be alone outside. If something went wrong, it would be disastrous.

"Hey, come here, come and sit down, come quickly..." There was a smile on Yu Tou'er's dark face, and his eyes were like a brothel girl seeing a patron who had not visited her for a long time, full of expectation and resentment.

Han Baogui's first thought was to turn around and run. He was scared of being beaten, and after seeing Yu Tou'er, he had formed a conditioned reflex. However, before his feet crossed the threshold, Chen Chang pulled him back and pushed him to the side of the low table without any explanation.

Yu Tou'er seemed like a different person and said, "Boss Han, I am sorry for offending you just now. I will set up a table of wine to apologize to you!"

"Uh..." Han Baogui had a terrible headache. His face was beaten like a pig's head, and it was hard to tell whether his expression was crying or laughing.

"No need to be restrained, just do whatever you want!" Chen Chang seemed like the host of the drinking party.

Yu Tou'er echoed: "Yes, yes, yes, we are all brothers, Manager Han should not be alienated!"

Brothers, have you ever been beaten like this?

Merchants have always been in a low position since ancient times. Han Baogui did not dare to put on airs in front of his boss. He quickly stood up, holding his buttocks and said, "Master officer, how dare I call you my brother? This is really embarrassing for me!"

Chen Chang quickly pulled him to sit down and said with a smile, "Ah, Shopkeeper Han, there is no need to be so restrained. Just now, Boss Yu told you that it was because he did not investigate the matter and was deceived by his subordinates, which led to this series of misunderstandings. Boss Yu felt deeply guilty and asked me to mediate. Doesn't Shopkeeper Han think that Boss Yu is not sincere enough?"

The previous words were gentle and kind, but the last sentence frightened Han Baogui so much that the fat on his face trembled. He said hurriedly, "It's not my fault, it's not my fault. How dare I blame the official..."

Before he could finish his words, Chen Chang interrupted him and said, "In that case, come, come, let's drink from this cup together!"

Han Baogui held the wine cup in his hand and said, "Boss Han, I failed to restrain my subordinates just now and caused a lot of disturbance. I am here to apologize to you. Please drink this cup and I will not blame you." He raised the cup and drank it all in one gulp.

Han Baogui never thought that someone would take the initiative to toast him to apologize, so he drank the wine immediately.

"Cough, cough, cough..." This glass of wine tasted like a mixture of various flavors, and he drank it all down with the blood in his mouth.

Yu Tou'er was not as reserved as Han Baogui, but he was still somewhat worried.

At this time, Chen Chang said, "Speaking of the Lou family, I used to be very familiar with them, but I have had less contact with them in recent years, hehe..."

This smoke bomb made Yu Tou'er and Han Baogui look at him with new eyes. Yu Tou'er had always guessed that he was either a relative or a good friend of the Lou family, but the other person refused to reveal his name, so he was not in a position to ask.

Han Baogui was hired temporarily by the chief manager. It was said that the chief manager who had come to Jiangling with the chief manager fell seriously ill, so Han Baogui filled in the vacancy temporarily.

He had never had any dealings with the Lou family, but he learned from the chief shopkeeper's father and son that the Lou family was very powerful in Jiangling. However, for some reason, the chief shopkeeper told him not to move to the Lou family unless it was absolutely necessary before leaving.

Although he was beaten at this time, his brain was not damaged. One look at Yu Tou'er's sullen expression told him that he was quite jealous of the Lou family, and he couldn't help but feel remorseful.

If I had known this earlier, I would have offered sacrifices to the great god of the Lou family earlier, instead of enduring this physical pain.

No matter how domineering Yu Tou'er was, he was still a nobody in front of a wealthy family like the Lou family. Seeing that Chen Chang was so familiar with the Lou family, he wanted to curry favor with them. He smiled and filled Chen Chang's wine cup and said, "Mr. Chen...Mr. Chen, you have a special relationship with the Lou family. I will rely on you a lot in the future. Come, come, I will toast you another glass..."

The two of them reported their names to each other just now, and Chen Changdao did not hide it from him.

Chen Chang stopped when he saw that he was ahead, picked up the wine cup and said, "Master Yu, you are embarrassing me by saying that. I should rely on you more!"

Han Baogui watched the two of them toasting each other, and felt infinite sadness in his heart. It seemed that the beating he received had actually led to their friendship.

He was extremely sad and silently picked up the wine cup and drank it all.

Bitter wine, bitter wine!

The wine made me sad, and I felt that this wine was even more bitter than the inferior wine sold in that small restaurant!

Chen Chang said slowly, "Actually, of all the people in the Lou family, I am most familiar with Miss Lou. We were childhood playmates, but that was all in our early years. Last month, I received a letter from the Lou family asking me to go to Jiangling. They said they had something important to discuss, but I don't know what it was about."

Yu Tou'er made a living from this. Most of the things that happened in Jiangling would not escape his eyes and ears. When he heard Chen Chang say this, an expression of gloating immediately appeared on his face.

Thinking that he still needed help from others, he quickly restrained his expression and said to Han Baogui: "Boss Han, please go outside and see how the mule was frightened. Although I was wrong in the previous incident, I still need to give an explanation to my brothers for the mule being frightened."

Han Baogui felt very awkward sitting here, and he had always wanted to find out why the big blue mule was frightened, so he agreed to apologize and limped out of the tavern.

Yu Tou'er glanced at Shui Ling'er not far away again, and his eyes were no longer as frivolous as before. He lowered his voice and said to Chen Chang: "Mr. Chen, you have already met Miss Lou, but I still want to remind you that women are jealous, and some women are even more jealous. You must consider it carefully."

He recently heard that Miss Lou was going to get married soon, but the identity of her fiancé was very mysterious and no one had ever seen him.

I just heard Chen Chang say this, this person could be the mysterious son-in-law of the Lou family. The Lou family is rich and powerful, so being the son-in-law of the Lou family is naturally a step up, but the eldest lady of the Lou family is really...

What Chen Chang didn't know was that at this moment, the dark and thin head of the yamen runners was drinking and actually had a strong sense of involvement in his heart. Should he choose the young lady from a wealthy family, or the beautiful woman who was like a fairy in a painting?

Chen Chang raised his voice and said, "Thank you for your reminder, Master! But what does Miss Lou look like now..."

Yu Tou'er, who was drinking, almost spit out a mouthful of wine. He just managed to hold back a cough and forced a smile, saying, "Mr. Chen and she are old acquaintances. The eldest lady lives in seclusion, and I have never seen her. Ahem... I guess she must be graceful and beautiful..."

Chen Changxin was extremely contemptuous.

Bah, and she’s as beautiful as a flower?

I think she is as beautiful as a flower!

If you believe me, you'll be shocked. Look at Lou Shaokang's appearance. How pretty is his sister?

Chen Chang wanted to get some information about the Lou family from him, but this guy was very slippery, so he smiled faintly: "Yes, girls change a lot when they grow up! More than ten years have passed..."

Yu Tou'er looked at Chen Chang with sympathy and thought, "Brother, I can only help you so far!"

Chen Chang raised his wine cup and clinked it with him: "Master Yu, I will naturally give you an explanation about the matter of the Lou family's convoy. I wonder how much punishment they need to give to satisfy the officials?"

In the end, it all came down to money. Chen Chang did not try to hide anything. Although Han Baogui was beaten, Boss Yu had already offered him wine to apologize, so he gave him enough face.

Since it was the Lou family's convoy, Yu Tou'er naturally no longer had any thoughts of blackmailing them. Unexpectedly, Chen Chang was so understanding. He rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "This... this..."

Before he could report the number, Han Baogui came in hurriedly: "Oh, Master Yu, I finally found out why the mule was frightened..."
