Shen Qingyu and Qi Yunxiao glanced at the owner of the Meicifang shop, then turned and went inside.
Sun Xiang: "!!!"
Guan Tao: "!!!"
Shopkeeper of Meicifang: "..."
They heard it!
They must have heard it!
But why didn't they react?
This is not normal!
Who could refuse something that's fallen from the sky for free?
You should know that restaurants of Guiyunlou's caliber use very exquisite porcelain and have so many branches.
And due to daily wear and tear, they need to be replaced every one or two years at most.
That adds up to a huge expense...
Is the young master not short of money?
If he had plenty of money, why would he open Guiyun Tower?!
Sun Xiang racked his brains but still couldn't figure it out.
Shen Qingyu scoffed coldly: "Doing business with such shameless and unscrupulous merchants is a disregard for one's own reputation."
Qi Yunxiao immediately nodded: "You're right!"
I will stand with my wife without hesitation.
The bowls and plates at Guiyunlou are all for distinguished guests.
If people knew that the person supplying the bowls and plates was a pimp, wouldn't they think that the owner of Guiyunlou was also that kind of person?
We don't need to save that kind of money.
Just then, the jars were all served, and the Dragon Guard came to report, bringing with him Guan Tao's question: "Does the master want the remaining jars?"
Shen Qingyu and Qi Yunxiao exchanged a glance, and Shen Qingyu laughed: "Go tell him that he still needs more... wait, tell him to come aboard the ship."
Guan Tao boarded the boat, drenched in sweat, and stood far away by the door, not daring to go in.
His expression was one of fear and disappointment, and there was no light left in his eyes.
Is this despair?
Shen Qingyu suddenly asked, "I heard you say before that your wife can glaze and paint?"
Guan Tao nodded: "Yes, my wife is very skillful."
"Is she feeling dizzy or something?"
Guan Tao was a little confused by Shen Qingyu's words, but he still answered truthfully.
"She's fine most of the time, eats and moves around well, but she can't stare at one spot for too long, and she especially can't concentrate on painting, otherwise she'll get dizzy, with pain and lightheadedness, like the world is spinning..."
Recalling the scene of the owner of the Meici Workshop next door shouting out, Guan Tao felt a little disappointed: "If my wife were good, my family could make bowls and plates like those from Meici Workshop, and we could make them even more exquisite and better..."
"It's just a pity..."
Guan Tao didn't continue speaking.
Shen Qingyu replied, "She's no longer of any help to your workshop, so why are you still clinging to her?"
Guan Tao's expression changed, his emotions fluctuating, but he still held back: "Because she is my wife, she bore my children, and she has been through thick and thin with me. She has never complained about being dragged down by me, so what right do I have to complain about her?"
Shen Qingyu felt that her probing was somewhat bullying.
She thought for a moment and asked Guan Tao, "If your wife gets better, can your workshop provide me with bowls and plates? The fine kind."
Guan Tao's eyes suddenly lit up!
He just heard Sun Xiang call out: Young Master!
This couple comes from a prominent and wealthy family, and obviously has more connections, enabling them to find better doctors...
If it can really cure A-Qiao's illness... so what if we go bankrupt?!
Guan Tao nodded decisively: "Of course!"
Fearing they might refuse, Guan Tao immediately added, "If you two can cure my wife's illness, my wife and I are willing to make bowls and plates for you two esteemed guests free of charge!"
"The most exquisite kind!"
After saying this, Guan Tao stared longingly at the two of them.
Shen Qingyu smiled and glanced at Guan Tao: "If you trust me, bring your wife and deliver the goods to my house in half a month. At that time, there will be a famous doctor at my house."
Guan Tao hesitated for a moment, then carefully examined Shen Qingyu and Qi Yunxiao.
Both of them were very good-looking. Although the young master had a dark forehead, his facial features were truly impeccable.
Think back to what Sun Xiang just said...
If my wife doesn't recover, it's only a matter of time before our shop goes bankrupt.
Guan Tao gritted his teeth and said, "Thank you both, I'll go and make the preparations right away!"
Shen Qingyu nodded and ordered the Dragon Guards to escort Guan Tao off the ship.
Sun Xiang and the shopkeeper's group, who witnessed all of this, turned pale.
Guan Tao stepped off the boat with a happy expression.
This means that, between Meicifang and the Guan family, the young master chose the Guan family.
Sun Xiang's expression was grim, but he still gritted his teeth and told the shopkeeper immediately, "From this day forward, do not attack the Guan family again."
The shopkeeper's face turned ashen, and he agreed in a low voice.
Standing by the window on the second floor of the Meicifang shop, Hu Jinxiu watched as Qi Yunxiao and Shen Qingyu entered the cabin hand in hand, her eyes filled with hatred.
If Qi Yunxiao and Shen Qingyu had lent a helping hand last night, how could she have become the prefect's plaything?
Although through her efforts, the prefect agreed to let her continue her business and not have to enter his household, she knew that she would never be able to marry into a respectable family again in this lifetime...
Furthermore, although the prefect promised to open a new family entertainment center for Hu Jinxiu in Zhenjiang Prefecture, he actually wanted a 30% stake.
In other words, he also wants to get involved in his own business...
As the cargo ship sailed away, the hatred in Hu Jinxiu's eyes gradually solidified into a tangible form.
Since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust...
Shen Qingyu was completely unaware of this and was still discussing Guan Tao's problem with Qi Yunxiao.
"Wouldn't it be a bit inappropriate for us to plot against him like this?"
