Chapter 1061 White Lies
Seeing that Zhang Juexia was getting anxious, Chen Liang felt inexplicably annoyed. He knew that there had been no news from Qinglan City during this period of time, and his wife was just pretending to be calm.
But he did his best in this matter.
He originally wanted to use the relationship of the Shen family, but the uncle of the Shen family replied with just one sentence. The Shen family today is no longer the same Shen family as before, and he is afraid that he is powerless.
Shen Liang knew in his heart that this was just an excuse from the Shen family's uncle.
But he had no choice. Almost all the prominent families in Qingfeng City had returned from the farms below.
But only the Shen family still lives on the farm. Even in such a huge mansion, there are only a few guards guarding the house.
But this matter had to be told to Zhang Juexia, so Shen Liang finally gritted his teeth and said, "Madam, someone came to our house the day before yesterday and said wildly that he wanted to buy our hot pot shop."
The teacup in Zhang Juexia's hand fell to the ground, the water in the cup spilled all over the floor, and the teacup eventually broke.
"It's all good."
Shen Liang muttered to himself, but Zhang Juexia’s mind was echoing Shen Liang’s words, “Someone wants to buy our hot pot shop?
Shen Liang, you didn't lie to me?"
Shen Liang quickly shook his head, “Madam, am I the kind of person who likes to joke?
Besides, the hot pot shop is not only your hard work, but also my, Chen Liang's hard work. How can I joke with you about such a thing?
Madam, I'll ask Sister Yang to clean up here, and we'll talk slowly."
Li Yun came in and looked at the mess on the ground. Although he didn't say anything, he was very nervous. He looked up at Zhang Juexia from time to time.
Shen Liang stepped forward and lent a hand, "Sister Yang, after you clean up here, go outside and guard it. Remember not to let anyone get close. I have something important to tell my wife."
Li Yun thought it was a letter from Qinglan City, and his hands moved faster. "Manager Shen, don't worry, I'll go to the door now and guard it. Even if it's just a mosquito, I won't let it fly in."
After Li Yun went out, Shen Liang looked around before closing the door, and then he came to Zhang Juexia with confidence.
"Ma'am, please don't get angry. If you get anxious and angry and make yourself sick, I'll regret it. It's better not to tell you this."
Zhang Juexia found a comfortable sitting position, "This shop is mine, Shen Liang, if you don't tell me about such a big thing, your job as a manager will be over.
You are right to do this, don't feel bad.
I just can't understand why someone would buy our shop when it's not making any money."
Shen Liang paused, “To be honest, Madam, I can’t figure it out either.
I turned that man down this morning, but he insisted and said he would pay double the price.
Also, when I said goodbye to that person, he said to me, "Don't refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit."
At this time, a noble person has chosen our shop, and we should be happy.
Don’t wait until you cry, because then you won’t have anyone to cry to when you regret.”
Zhang Juexia's forehead was throbbing, and she seemed to have a bad premonition, "Chen Liang, can you find out where this person came from?"
“I checked, but couldn’t find anything.
I originally wanted to ask Mr. Shen for help, but he refused.
"Uncle Shen can't be blamed for this, after all, the Shen family is now in seclusion.
At this time, it is better to do less than more.
Shen Liang, go check again, remember that anything that can be done with silver is not a big deal.
No matter how much money it costs, we must first find out the details of that person."
“Okay, I’ll try my best to check.
"But ma'am, that person's tone is very arrogant, I'm afraid he has bad intentions!"
"No matter where he comes from, we have a good shop. If he wants to buy it, we will sell it to him!
Don’t be afraid, you’ll kill it anyway, and this shop won’t sell it.
If he insists, you can ask him to come to me and I will meet him."
"Well, ma'am, I'm going to run some errands."
Zhang Juexia had a severe headache. She waved her hand to let Shen Liang leave, "Shen Liang, take care of the escort agency business first."
"Understood, ma'am."
After Shen Liang closed the door and came out, he raised his sleeve to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
Ever since he decided to leave the Shen family and follow Zhang Juexia to do business, everything has been going smoothly.
But this time, he had a vague feeling that he was in big trouble.
However, the Shen family behind the scenes is no longer involved in the matter. Although his boss is a military scholar, he is not in Qingfeng City at the moment.
Shen Liang was certain that the man who asked him to buy the shop must have known all this, otherwise he would not have spoken so arrogantly.
Shen Liang's pace became faster and faster. He would not let that man succeed. No matter what that man's background was, he was not afraid.
If they want to buy this hot pot shop, they have to step over him.
After Shen Liang left, Zhang Juexia didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
She thought about it for a long time, but couldn't figure out what the point of buying her hot pot shop was at this time.
At the same time, she thought that since she started doing business in Qingfeng City, she had always been honest and trustworthy and had not offended anyone.
Thinking of this, she remembered the matter of buying the farm. She had always been unhappy with the Zhang family. Could it be that the Zhang family was behind it?
But she didn't think so, after all, the Zhang family couldn't afford to pay double the money.
If the Zhang family could afford so much money, they probably wouldn't sell the farm.
She got up and walked around the room several times. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that there must be something wrong.
She decided not to wait at home, but to go to the escort agency first, deal with the affairs of the escort agency, and then think about the next things.
As soon as she opened the door, Li Yun came to greet her expectantly, "Madam, what did the master say in the letter?"
Zhang Juexia was confused. What was going on? But she looked at Li Yun's expectant eyes and lied without blushing or beating her heart, "They are fine!
He said he would be back in a while."
Li Yun didn't notice anything unusual about Zhang Juexia. She rubbed her hands happily and said, "That's great, Madam. I knew they would be back soon.
When I went out to buy groceries today, I saw that there were no more people fleeing famine on the streets.
I also heard from them that after the new emperor ascended the throne, the roads have become more peaceful than before.
He also said that the court would provide resettlement money to anyone who fled famine, whether they returned home or stayed.
Madam, the good day we have been looking forward to has finally arrived.
When I came back, I thought that the master and the others had been away for many days. They must have wanted to come back but didn't dare to.
Now it's all right, they will be back soon.
Well, I have to talk to Peach Blossom and Osmanthus Flower and make them happy too."
Li Yun ran to the kitchen while talking. Zhang Juexia wanted to call her but she didn't say it out loud. Well, she comforted herself in her heart and just treated it as a white lie!
