Qiu Dayu smiled and said, "Uncle Zhou, as long as you agree to lower the price of vegetables to 80%, I will recommend you to supply grain and vegetables to the county magistrate."
Also, the owner of Bihu Inn and the owner of our Xingyuelou are good friends.
Besides these two families, I also have dealings with the Zhou family, the Ding family… I can introduce you to them another day.”
Landlord Zhou was tempted.
Qiu Dayu's bright eyes sparkled, seemingly innocent and harmless. However, when Landlord Zhou thought about the 80% price he had proposed for the vegetables, he felt a pang of heartache.
"Alright, it'll be 80% of the vegetable price. But, Second Manager, you and I both know what this price is all about."
"Deal!" Qiu Dayu beamed with joy as the deal was struck.
Soon after, their lunch was coming to an end.
Just then, Zhang Yuyan arrived late.
As soon as she arrived, she spotted Qiu Dayu.
Qiu Dayu also saw Zhang Yuyan, and because Zhou's father was there, he felt a little guilty.
Zhang Yuyan stood in front of the door, carefully examined Zhou Bin, and then casually glanced at Zhou the Landlord.
Why did Qiu Dayu bring an old man with him?
Finally, her gaze returned to Zhou Bin.
It seems that the man Qiu Dayu wanted to introduce to her was him.
The man is quite handsome, but he looks rather dull and simple-minded.
It's okay to be a little silly, as long as you're not really silly.
Zhang Yuyan chuckled and walked up to Qiu Dayu.
"Qiu Dayu, I'm sorry I'm late." She was late because Madam Ding had insisted that she stay for dinner.
Qiu Dayu: "It's alright. Miss, please go upstairs and have a seat. We'll talk later."
"Why do we have to wait a while?" Zhang Yuyan insisted. She looked at Zhou Bin and introduced herself, "My name is Zhang Yuyan, and I am a young lady from the Zhang family."
This sudden attempt to get closer left Zhou Bin somewhat at a loss, and even more so Zhou's father.
Zhou Bin is bad at dealing with women; every time he tries to talk to a woman, his tongue gets tied in knots.
He nodded slightly, without saying much.
Zhou's father glanced at Zhang Yuyan silently, presumably thinking that this girl was the marriage prospect Qiu Dayu had mentioned.
Qiu Dayu stood up: "Uncle Zhou, the business deal is done. I suppose you have things to attend to at home. Why don't you go ahead and..."
Landlord Zhou shook his head. "No rush, Bin'er and I will go out together." This Qiu Dayu, the business deal was just finished, why is he kicking us out already?
Then, he looked at Zhang Yuyan and asked, "Miss Zhang, are you Zhang Shun's daughter?"
Zhang Yuyan nodded: "Exactly."
Mr. Zhou smiled and stroked his beard. This second manager of Xingyue Tower is quite lucky to have met the daughter of Master Zhang.
Zhang Shun's family is famous throughout Baiyang City for their business.
It is said that Master Zhang was extremely wealthy, rolling in money.
Of course, his initiative to interact with Zhang Yuyan was also aimed at building connections.
Qiu Dayu pulled Zhou's father aside and whispered in his ear,
“Uncle Zhou, it was too abrupt today. I will introduce you to Master Zhang another day. There’s no rush.”
As Qiu Dayu spoke, he pulled Zhou's father along, preparing to go up to the second floor of Xingyue Tower.
"To cater to distinguished guests like yourself, we have private rooms on the second floor. Tea, fruit, and snacks are available for you to enjoy."
If you're not in a hurry to go back, please have some tea and enjoy some music first.
In fact, Qiu Dayu and Zhang Yuanwai had only met a few times and were not familiar with each other.
"You said it yourself." Hearing the words "distinguished guest" and "business referral," Mr. Zhou smiled and his eyes narrowed.
Qiu Dayu patted his chest and said, "I said it."
