Xue Huan took the little fox out and found that it was warm, not the cool feeling of ordinary jade. Was it actually carved from warm jade?
The little fox's pair of clear green eyes were shining brightly, with the corners of its eyes turned up, as if gazing at her with a hint of a smile. Coupled with the warm touch of its body, she couldn't help but have the illusion that it was a living creature.
Forget it, I'll give it back to Huo Kang next time I see him.
"Knock knock knock--" There was knock on the door.
"Mr. Zhao, are you there?"
Xue Huan put the little fox into the box and into the space, then walked over and opened the door.
Tang Yu was outside the door.
Xue Huan smelled the scent of alcohol and makeup on him, and asked, "Is the banquet over over there?" while letting him in.
Tang Yu nodded. "Originally, Lord Liu wanted to invite us to go sightseeing on the pleasure boat on the river, but since you left early, we broke up the party."
Xue Huan was glad she'd left early after hearing this. Lord Liu's suggestion of a pleasure boat trip was clearly not just about sightseeing; it was bound to involve some fun. It was truly awkward for her, a fake man, to be among them.
"Mr. Zhao, I would like to ask you for a favor." After sitting down, Tang Yu hesitated and spoke.
Xue Huan poured him a cup of tea and asked, "What can I do for you?"
"I've accepted President Bai's invitation and plan to join the Chamber of Commerce. I won't be returning to Fengchi for the time being. I've written a letter. Can you help me deliver it to my father?"
"No problem." Xue Huan took the letter.
"I've written the address above. Thank you for your help." Tang Yu stood up and bowed to her. "There are still some raw materials in the room that haven't been finished. I will try my best to finish them and give them to you tomorrow morning."
"No rush, I guess I won't leave until the day after tomorrow."
After the banquet, Liu Biliang returned home, feeling a little nervous all the way. He originally wanted to take advantage of this banquet to sound out Zhao Yu and find out what the relationship between him and the masked man was, but Zhao Yu actually left the table halfway.
I don’t know if the masked man will come looking for me again.
Liu Biliang both wanted him to come and see her, and yet didn't want him to.
He holds all my weaknesses in his hands, like a sword hanging over my head at all times, and I don't know when it will fall. The waiting process is the most torturous, it would be better to just chop it off directly.
Although he thought so in his heart, Liu Biliang was still frightened when he really saw the masked man again.
"I have already done what you ordered. Do you have any further instructions?"
In front of the masked man, Liu Biliang did not dare to be arrogant at all. He acted very humble and spoke in a respectful tone.
"I have no instructions. I just hope Lord Liu will take care of himself in the future." The masked man said lightly, and then disappeared as quietly as he came.
It took Liu Biliang a while to believe that he had really left and would not take his life. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and slid weakly onto the chair.
Did this masked man just come here to say this to him?
Or is he holding back some big move?
Because of this incident, Liu Biliang couldn't eat or sleep well, and he didn't even dare to accept the silver sent by his subordinates as tribute. He seemed to have turned over a new leaf and became clear-headed as never before. He did many practical things, tried several unjust cases, and cleared the names of the people.
This surprised the people and subordinates.
The masked man is naturally Huo Kang. One of his secret military bases is in Yujing, so he will naturally investigate the officials of Yujing.
Although Liu Biliang was a bit greedy, at least he did not cause any loss of life and he managed Yujing City well. However, if the water is too clear, there will be no fish. Even if Liu Biliang is removed and replaced by someone else as a county magistrate, there is no guarantee that he will do a better job than him.
If someone comes who is even greedier or even disregards the law, the situation will be even worse.
On the contrary, keeping Liu Biliang and holding the evidence of his guilt in hand can also be used to threaten him, so that he will not dare to act rashly again.
This is why Huo Kang did not touch Liu Biliang.
And his threat really worked.
Because he was worried that the sword above his head might fall at any time, Liu Biliang had to work diligently, which made him look more like a fatherly official.
Of course, this is all later.
The next day, Xue Huan went to the teahouse opposite Yinyu Pavilion and asked the servant to run errands to invite Deng Xun over.
"I was just about to go find Master Zhao. This is the contract I asked someone to draft. Master Zhao, please take a look and see if there are any problems."
Deng Xun walked into the private room, sat down opposite Xue Huan, and handed her a contract.
It was the deed that transferred 10% of Yinyu Pavilion's shares to Xue Huan.
Before this, Xue Huan had already solved the household registration problem of "Zhao Yu", so that Zhao Yu's identity was no longer an illegal household and could be traded normally.
After reading the deed and confirming that there was no problem, Xue Huan signed and sealed it.
There are three copies, she and Deng Xun each hold one, and the last copy needs to be submitted to the government office for archiving.
Only then will the deed become officially effective.
"Although I have this 10% stake, I will not interfere with the management of Yinyu Pavilion. All matters will still be handled by you. I only have one request, that is, if you come across jadeite of relatively good quality in the future, I hope you can help me keep it. Of course, I will pay according to the market price."
Deng Xun was originally worried that Zhao Yu would interfere in the management of Yinyu Pavilion after owning 10% of the shares, but after hearing what she said, he immediately felt relieved.
The request he made was much lower than he expected, so he readily agreed: "No problem."
Xue Huan had a good impression of Deng Xun. Although his father was a good-for-nothing and his younger brother Deng Cong was also not likable, Deng Xun had not done anything to annoy her so far.
Now that they have become business partners, she doesn't mind helping out a little.
"Tang Yu's gambling skills are very good, you can hire him. If he doesn't agree, you might as well tell him that I am now a shareholder of Yinyu Pavilion."
Deng Xun had witnessed with his own eyes how Tang Yu had transformed from an unknown little character into a popular figure in Yujing City. He knew how advanced his skills were in gambling on stones. If he could invite him to take charge of Yinyu Pavilion, he would have nothing to worry about.
Yesterday at the banquet, he took the opportunity to sound him out, but unfortunately Tang Yu seemed to have no interest in becoming a worshiper of Yinyu Pavilion.
Now from what Zhao Yu said, it seemed that Tang Yu would agree to it for his sake!
Deng Xun couldn't help but feel fortunate once again that he had made the right decision before.
"Okay, I will visit Mr. Tang in person later."
Xue Huan: "One more thing. Yinyu Pavilion's owner, Wu De, should pack up and leave. He's too mean and cruel. With someone like him around, Yinyu Pavilion won't last long."
"I fired Wu De a long time ago. He was appointed by my father. He was on my second brother's side before. The two of them were in collusion and wanted to suppress me, the eldest son. Unfortunately, God had eyes and didn't let them succeed."
Xue Huan nodded, stood up and walked out, "By the way, if possible, please help me take care of the Zheng family in secret."
"good."
Afterwards, Xue Huan took some gifts and went to the Zheng family.
