"Whether you deserve it or not is none of your business. Get out of the way."
"You are still being stubborn. Do you think you can rest easy just by relying on the Imperial College? How many students from the Imperial College have dealings with our bookstore? If you want your collection to spread, it has to get past our boss." Manager Wu thought he had grasped her weakness and was very proud of himself.
Xu Jiang, however, grasped another clue from his words. She remained expressionless and said indifferently, "Yes, your bookstore is the best in the capital, and your boss is the most powerful. Can you give way?"
"What kind of attitude is this?" You're in such a situation, and you still don't beg for mercy?
Xu Jiang didn't say anything else. Instead, she looked him up and down and made a move to lift her legs. Seeing this, the headmaster Wu quickly turned his feet inwards and dodged to the side.
Xu Jiang took the opportunity to walk past him.
Only then did he realize that he had been tricked and chased after him.
"Stop." Just as he caught up with Xu Jiang and stood in front of her, he was kicked in the butt and fell flat on his face.
He got up and was about to curse, but he was met with a face full of coldness. For a moment he felt like a duck with its neck pinched, unable to utter a single word.
Lou, Lou, Lou Yunchun? Why is he here? It's also his fault for being blind; he only saw Xu Jiang and didn't see this plague god.
Lou Yunchun was as powerful as Yama: "What's the crime for molesting a decent girl in the street?"
"Sir, it's a misunderstanding," Manager Wu stammered. "I was just saying hello to Manager Xu. I had no intention of teasing you."
Lou Yunchun looked at Xu Jiang: "Misunderstanding?"
There were many people here, and Xu Jiang didn't want to make a big deal out of it, nor did she want to ruin her and Lou Yunchun's good mood, so she said, "It's just a misunderstanding."
Seeing that Wu was in trouble, the monk stepped forward to smooth things over with satisfaction, "Yes, it's all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding."
Then he turned to Wu, the manager, and said, "Manager Wu, don't you want to buy some paper? Let's go inside and talk."
After saying that, he went to help him.
Manager Wu also took advantage of the situation and slipped away, saying hurriedly, "Yes, yes, our engraving room needs it urgently. Hurry, hurry."
The abbot helped Manager Wu walk inside. When he reached the door, he turned back and nodded to Xu Jiang, who saluted him from a distance.
She turned around and smiled at Lou Yunchun, "Let's go. We still need to buy ink and carving knives."
Seeing that she was not wronged, Lou Yunchun also raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Okay."
The two left the paper mill and merged into the bustling crowd. Lou Yunchun asked, "Is this the person who caused you trouble last time?"
"Well, his surname is Wu, the manager of Jisheng Bookstore. Don't you know him?" Look at that manager Wu, he looked at Lou Yunchun as if he saw a ferocious god, and thought that Lou Yunchun also knew him.
"I didn't pay much attention." A few years ago, Lou Yunchun handled a case that was somewhat related to Jisheng Bookstore. The main culprit in that case was another bookstore that had dealings with Jisheng. He went to the store to investigate and thought he had seen him at that time.
Xu Jiang said, "He just said that many students at the Imperial College have connections with Ji Sheng, and most of the students at the Imperial College come from high-ranking families. It seems that the Zhou family has quite a reach."
She was once again glad that she did not take the bait, otherwise Mr. Du and Mr. Yuan would have been in trouble.
Lou Yunchun reassured her, "Don't worry about this. The affairs of the imperial court will be decided by the sages and investigated by the Dali Temple." Then he frowned, "Compared to this, I'm more worried that they will ruin the reputation of your poetry collection."
Xu Jiang smiled and said, "Don't worry, there are several gentlemen to suppress it. Even if there are rumors, they are only temporary. True gold is not afraid of fire. A good book will not be deteriorated by others' slander. Let's wait and see."
Seeing her so open-minded, Lou Yunchun was impressed and liked her a little more, so he couldn't help but hook her hand.
On the bustling streets, ordinary people were busy with their own affairs and no one noticed their little movements. Xu Jiang looked around and, taking advantage of the crowded crowd, quietly put her hand into his palm.
