Chapter 283 I'm Here to Save You
Although what Li Yun said was a joke, Zhang Juexia felt that she had some truth in her words. This might be the reason why Shopkeeper Li Xi was unwilling to agree to Aunt Wang's request!
After all, based on his son's current conditions, he can pick a good one in the town.
Zhang Juexia finished her meal, and Li Yun cleared away the dishes. "Madam, someone came to visit you yesterday. We said you were not at home, so he left a name card and said he would come again today."
"Where is the business card?"
"I'll get it right away."
Li Yun quickly brought the name card. Zhang Juexia took it and looked at it. "When did he say he would come again?"
"Today, yesterday he thought we were tricking him and insisted on breaking into the mansion to take a look. Fortunately, Da Niu was at home and chased him out."
"Daniu's martial arts skills have improved, and he is becoming more and more promising."
"It's all thanks to the training of the master and mistress. They are enjoying a good life."
Yang Zhi rushed in sweating profusely, "Madam."
"What is it?"
Li Yun complained about his recklessness, and Yang Zhi bowed and said, "Please forgive me, Madam. The man from yesterday is here again. I mainly came to ask if you want to see him. If you don't want to see him, we will kick him out."
"Since he's here, he's a guest. Why not meet him? Please invite him in. I'll meet him in the front hall later."
Zhang Juexia asked Li Yun to help her dress up again. Even Li Yun couldn't help but admire her, "Madam, you are really a beauty after dressing up like this. I always say that you dress too formally on weekdays."
Zhang Juexia smiled faintly, "We have too many things to do on weekdays, and dressing up is too troublesome. We are meeting guests today, so we should dress up. At least we can't lose in momentum."
As he was about to reach the front hall, Zhang Juexia heard complaints from inside, "Your wife is quite arrogant. Doesn't she know that Master Xu is very busy?"
Yang Zhi didn't indulge him, "Our wives are busy too."
"You..., forget it. If I didn't have something to ask your wife, I wouldn't have to endure this."
Zhang Juexia pushed the door open and walked in. Yang Zhi stood behind her with a considerate look.
Xu Yanchen snorted, "You really are a big shot. I had to come here twice before I could see you in person."
"I didn't ask you to come!"
Xu Yanchen was frustrated and wanted to lose his temper, but the servant behind him reminded him. He stood up straight and sat down again. "Forget it, as long as you don't beg me for anything later, it will be fine."
Zhang Juexia rolled his eyes, really thinking he was a big shot. "Master Xu, you know I'm very busy. Let's cut to the chase, okay?"
Xu Yanchen glanced at Zhang Juexia arrogantly, coughed dryly, and cleared his throat, "Zhang Juexia, you have to understand, I came here today to save you."
"Save me? What's wrong with me? Do I need you to save me?"
"You are really just trying to show off. We in the Xu family have heard about your family's affairs a long time ago.
The magistrate's wife is plotting to take over your shop, isn't she?"
What does this have to do with anything? Although the magistrate's wife had this idea, wasn't it rejected by the magistrate?
Xu Yanchen looked at Zhang Juexia's expression and became more confident. "Don't be shy about talking about this. The wealthy families in Shunhe County are all aware of it.
The magistrate came from a poor family and did not have much money.
The magistrate's wife has always been brooding over this matter, and she is thinking of doing business with a few wealthy families.
But since we are able to establish ourselves in Shunhe County, we all have backgrounds behind us, so we still don’t take a small county magistrate seriously.”
Xu Yanchen glanced at Zhang Juexia proudly, and Zhang Juexia gestured for him to continue.
Xu Yanchen kept the secret and took a sip of tea from the tea bowl. "This tea is just average. Compared with our family's Mingqian tea this year, it's really far inferior."
"You don't have to drink if you don't like it. No one is begging you to drink. I mean, you keep nagging me about this. What do you mean by that?
To be honest with you, I'm really busy and don't have time to listen to your story here."
Zhang Juexia stood up and was about to leave. Xu Yanchen stood up anxiously and said, "How can you be so ungrateful? I really came to save you. Can't you be patient and listen to me finish my story?"
"Then hurry up and tell me! You'll never stop talking."
"Okay," I said. I originally wanted to pave the way for you, so that after you knew the truth, you would be grateful to me. But you really are so clueless.
"I came here today to save you. I found out from Li Qi that you and Li Yingyue only own 10% of the canned food business. Is that right or not?"
"yes."
There is nothing to hide.
"Well, the Magistrate's wife is Li Yingyue's aunt, so she must know what's going on here.
Now that she wants to cooperate with you, she will definitely take 90% of the profits from your shop."
Xu Yanchen deliberately straightened his back and said, "So, I came here just to talk to you about this in advance.
I just said that we in the Xu family have people behind us, and we are not afraid of the magistrate at all."
After going around in circles, Zhang Juexia understood Xu Yanchen's intention and was no longer in a good mood towards him.
"Oh, it turns out that Master Xu is really kind-hearted. I really misunderstood you!
I just don’t know how you want to cooperate.”
Xu Yanchen stretched out two fingers and gestured in front of Zhang Juexia.
Zhang Juexia realized, "I'm eight and you're two?"
Xu Yanchen glared at Zhang Juexia unhappily, "What good things are you thinking of? Of course I'll get 80% and you 20%. Think about it, if the magistrate interferes with your family's business, you can only get 10%.
Now, I gave you an extra 10% to save you, and you're still not satisfied!"
Zhang Juexia narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at Xu Yanchen with a half-smile, "Master Xu's kindness really touched me!
I don’t know how I can thank you.”
Xu Yanchen became more and more proud, and his body couldn't help but lean outward, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Zhang Juexia became more presumptuous, "Zhang Juexia, I have already found out clearly that your husband is just a man from the mountains.
In the past, I only glanced at you from a distance, but now that I've looked at you up close today, I find you look quite pleasing to the eye.
How about this, you just follow me.
I don’t mind you marrying for the second time, I will raise you as my concubine.
Then I won’t have to take 20% of your profit from the business anymore, and all the money we earn will belong to us.”
Zhang Juexia stood up suddenly, picked up the water in the teacup and splashed it towards Xu Yanchen's face, "Go and daydream! Brother Yang, beat this guy out with a stick.
Come on, beat him up every time, until he's subdued."
Yang Zhi couldn't stand it any longer. He shouted outside, "Someone come!"
The people waiting outside swung sticks at Xu Yanchen.
Xu Yanchen ran away, still yelling, "Zhang Juexia, you hit me today, you will regret it.
I tell you, you didn’t offend me, you offended our Xu family.”
