Chapter 1086: Meritorious Service
Wang Qi came to see Zhang Qiuye trotting. Although she was just a concubine, she had caught the eye of the head of the Wang family, so he didn't dare to neglect her.
Zhang Qiuye was just thinking about how to consolidate her favor when Wang Qi suddenly pushed the door open, which really scared her.
"Why are you so rude? Don't you know how to let someone know?
Is this how Uncle Wang usually teaches you the rules?"
Wang Qi was frightened because the last time he met Zhang Qiuye, he thought she was easy to talk to. How come she seemed like a different person this time?
He didn't have time to think about it and knelt down immediately, "Aunt Qiu, please forgive me. I have been waiting for you every day in Qingfeng City.
As soon as I heard you were coming, I didn't care about anything else.
I promise Aunt Qiu that it will never happen again."
Zhang Qiuye glanced at Wang Qi lying on the ground and said, "You're such a sweet talker. Stand up and talk!"
"Thank you Aunt Qiu."
Yun Qiao came in with tea. Zhang Qiuye took it and drank a few sips before slowly saying to Wang Qi, "Manager Wang, tell me, what are the rules and regulations for that Suibian Hot Pot shop?"
Wang Qi had already thought of what he was going to say, "Aunt Qiu, I really did my best.
It’s just that the owner of that shop is so difficult to talk to.
I tried every trick I could think of, and finally I told them that my master had been named an imperial merchant, and they finally relented."
Zhang Qiuye curled his lips in disdain, "In the final analysis, he's still afraid of us.
Humph, I thought she was so tough!"
Wang Qi bent over and looked at Zhang Qiuye with a flattering look on his face, "Aunt Qiu, the master is an imperial merchant!
If you tell me, there are few who are not afraid.”
“That’s natural.
But, if that's the case, why do you want me to come?"
Wang Qi stepped forward and attentively filled Zhang Qiuye's cup with tea, then handed it to her. "Aunt Qiu, they just want to see the master's true face."
Wang Qi was personally handling the matter, and he knew what Shen Liang meant. He just didn't want to sell the shop, and didn't want to have anything to do with the Wang family.
But if you say that, then it means he is not doing his job well.
Zhang Qiuye slammed the teacup in his hand onto the table and said, "A bunch of country bumpkins who have never seen the world, you want to see the master!
They are really tired of living. If I don’t let them know how powerful our Wang family is, I don’t think they will give up! "
Wang Qi nodded in agreement, "Aunt Qiu, you are right.
The master is so busy, how could he meet them?
That’s why I asked Aunt Qiu to condescend to come to Qingfeng City!”
Zhang Qiuye gave Wang Qi a look that said, "Manager Wang, the master won't be coming to Qingfeng City for a few days. When you are free, let's meet them together.
When the master comes back, I will definitely speak well of you in front of him and give you a great merit."
Wang Qi fell to his knees with a thud. This time he was extremely sincere. Thanks to Aunt Qiu's kind words, he was one step closer to the capital.
"Thank you, Aunt Qiu, you really have a kind heart!"
Zhang Qiuye was very pleased with Wang Qi's words. She looked at her bright red fingernails and said beautifully, "Manager Wang, please get up!
But let me tell you, the master is very concerned about the hot pot shop in Qingfeng City.
Do you understand?
"I understand, I understand. I understand everything."
"That's good."
Zhang Qiuye thought to himself, Zhang Juexia, you really are not going to accept my toast and will be punished!
At the beginning, the Wang family sent someone to your house to buy the hot pot recipe, but you refused.
Now that I didn’t ask you for help, you agreed instead.
After Wang Qi stood up, he stood in front of Zhang Qiuye with an obedient look. Zhang Qiuye glanced at him and said, "Manager Wang, do you have anything else to say?"
Wang Qi pretended to be eager to learn, "Aunt Qiu, I have never understood why. Doesn't our Wang family have a hot pot shop?
Why is the master so interested in the casual hot pot shop in Qingfeng City? "
"I'm in a good mood today, so it's okay to tell you.
Manager Wang, let me ask you, how is the business of our Wang family's hot pot shop?"
Wang Qi thought for a moment and said, "I've heard other managers mention it, it seems to be normal."
Zhang Qiuye reminded Wang Qi, "Do you understand now?
Our shop's business is average, so of course we are not as good as others in some aspects.
That's why the master is so upset about the casual hot pot shop in Qingfeng City!"
Wang Qi looked as if he understood, "Now that Aunt Qiu has reminded me, I understand.
In Qingfeng City, the business of any hotpot shop is unique and good.
No matter who mentions it, everyone is envious. "
"That's right, once this shop is in our hands, the people of Qingfeng City will envy us.
Manager Wang, if we take over Suibian Hotpot Shop, wouldn't that be a great achievement?"
"Yes, yes."
How could Zhang Qiuye miss such a good opportunity to win over others? "Manager Wang, I am the concubine of the Wang family, and it is my duty to help the master.
But Manager Wang is different from me?
If I remember correctly, Steward Wang's family is all in the capital, right?"
Wang Qiqiang squeezed out a few tears and said, "Aunt Qiu is so kind to me.
I haven't seen my parents for several years. I have a younger sister at home, but I can't remember what she looks like."
Zhang Qiuye sighed, "It's really pitiful.
Manager Wang, let’s do this. As long as you can take care of the hotpot shop business.
I will persuade the master to transfer you to the capital."
Wang Qi lifted his clothes and knelt down in front of Zhang Qiuye again. "Thank you very much, Aunt Qiu. Aunt Qiu, you are my reborn parents."
Zhang Qiuye cleared his throat uncomfortably, "Manager Wang, am I really that old?"
Wang Qi kowtowed repeatedly, "I said the wrong thing, but this is what I really mean.
Aunt Qiu, you are truly my adoptive parents."
"Okay, get up quickly!
Just do as I say now and let’s take over the hot pot shop as soon as possible.
Let’s work together to serve the Wang family.”
Wang Qi looked at Zhang Qiuye awkwardly, "Aunt Qiu, I have something else to report."
"What are you standing there for?
Speak quickly! "
At Zhang Qiuye's urging, Wang Qi hesitantly spoke, "Aunt Qiu, it's at the post station."
"What happened to the post station?"
"Didn't we pay the post station to withhold Mr. Ye's letter?"
Zhang Qiuye replied nonchalantly, "This matter, this matter is not worth bringing up!
Isn’t it just a matter of a few letters?
Manager Wang, I'm not saying anything bad about you. I was just praising you for your progress. Why are you so confused now?
Our master is an imperial merchant personally appointed by the emperor, while the head of the Ye family is just an ordinary military scholar.
He is far inferior to our master!
Besides, we didn't do anything murderous or arsonous. We just stopped her from sending a few letters.
I want to ask you, have you dealt with Wu San from the post station?"
