Mr. Qiao Si was planning to come and see what kind of medicine Lu Chen sold in his gourd. He never expected that he would be driven away by Lu Chen as soon as he arrived.
Looking at the businessmen around him whispering and pointing, Mr. Qiao Si was so angry that blood filled his pupils.
If this were an ordinary place, he might have started swearing and hitting people.
But now the owner of this place is Lu Chen, and the little bit of rationality he has left tells him that he cannot lose his temper here, otherwise he will be charged with disrespecting the national teacher.
To put it bluntly, he is a commoner after all, and Lu Chen is an official, and their identities and status are not equal.
He took a deep breath and looked at the other businessmen around him with gritted teeth. Mr. Qiao Si didn't say anything else. He bowed and turned to leave.
In the current situation, if he stays here he will only bring shame upon himself. It would be better for him to go back early and think of other ways to see how he can get back at the place he was in.
It feels so good!
Looking at the back of Mr. Qiao Si as he left in a rage, Lu Chen felt that his hair and toenails were extremely comfortable.
As expected, extreme bad breath can bring extreme enjoyment. This behavior of slapping someone in the face in front of many people is beneficial to physical and mental health.
Lu Chen estimated that if he could come here once a day, he could live to be two hundred years old.
"No wonder Taoism emphasizes the unimpeded flow of thoughts. This really makes sense!"
Slapping Mr. Qiao Si in the face in front of so many businessmen would not only make these businessmen realize the current situation, but also spread the news through their mouths, so that those who still planned to stand by Qiao Si would think twice and see if they were qualified to get involved.
"Haha, it's just a small incident. Don't take it to heart. Come on, keep playing the music and keep dancing!"
As he spoke, he raised his glass and said, "You all should be aware of my plan to set up a company. What are your opinions? There's no need to fuss over the share distribution; this matter is set in stone. Of course, how much you can sell the shares for privately is up to you."
What! Shares can actually be bought and sold?
Upon hearing this, the expressions on everyone's faces became even more exciting. Someone hurriedly asked, "Master Imperial Master, are you serious? Can the shares really be sold?"
"This is natural. As the saying goes, running water never stagnates, and a door hinge never rots. Wealth, on the other hand, only becomes more vibrant when it's flowing, right?"
"I will even set up a special department to provide stock trading services for everyone, and update the stock prices every day."
"These are all trivial matters. Now let's talk about business. I plan to nominate Shen Wanshan as the general manager of the company. Who agrees? Who objects?"
The plot that Lu Chen expected did not happen. After he killed someone and slapped Qiao Si in the face, his prestige in Yangzhou is now unmatched.
If someone jumps out to oppose at this time, they are simply out of their minds.
Just like that, some very important things were settled so easily and happily.
The businessmen focused on Shen Wanshan, but they didn't know that the place where Lu Chen casually mentioned to trade shares was the project he would focus on in the future.
Just as Lu Chen was toasting with a group of businessmen with a glass of wine, Mr. Qiao Si sailed down the river in a boat filled with anger.
He did not return to his house in Yangzhou City, but went directly to the Qiao family's old house in the countryside.
After arriving home, he walked towards the backyard. Everyone could see that the old man was in a very bad mood. Many servants hurriedly stepped aside to avoid bad luck.
Of course, not everyone was avoiding Fourth Master Qiao. Just as he was about to go through the Moon Gate and continue inside, an old butler suddenly appeared in front of him and said, "Fourth Young Master is back. What are you doing?"
Seeing the person in front of him, Qiao Si finally smiled slightly. He bowed and said, "Butler Zhao, please let him know that I want to see the old man."
"The old man just drank ginseng soup and hasn't been lying down for long. If the fourth young master doesn't have anything important to do, why don't you wait for a while? Have you eaten? Do you want me to get you something to eat?"
Qiao Si waved his hand and said, "No need to eat. I'm already full of anger. Tell the old man that I have something urgent to deal with. Our Qiao family has been humiliated."
Butler Zhao was shocked when he heard this. He apologized and hurried into the room.
Not long after, he came out and said, "Fourth Young Master, come with me. The old man will let you in."
Soon Qiao Si met the old man who was now the head of the Qiao family. He was an old man with white hair and a youthful face. Although his hair was white, he was in good spirits and his skin was rosy. When he saw Qiao Si, he laughed and said, "You monkey must have gotten into trouble again."
When Qiao Si, who was arrogant outside, saw the old man, he knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Grandfather is still so strong. I am happy to see you."
"Okay, stop talking about these nonsense and tell me what happened this time."
Qiao Si had already prepared a speech on the way, and he immediately recounted what had happened in Yangzhou before, adding some exaggeration.
After hearing what Qiao Si said, the old man of the Qiao family slammed his hand on the table and said, "How arrogant! My Qiao family has a long tradition of poetry and literature. We have three prime ministers among our ancestors. We are also considered a cultural heritage of the Great Qi. When will it be the turn of a Taoist priest to stand above our Qiao family and act so arrogantly!"
"Don't worry, grandson. I'll write to some friends in the capital right now and I'll definitely make sure that demon Taoist doesn't get away with it!"
Qiao Si's eyes were shining with excitement. The weight of the letter written by the old man was different. Now Lu Chen would be in trouble, and at the same time, he could show off the strength of their Qiao family to the Queen Mother.
Since his goal was achieved, Qiao Si left with satisfaction.
At this time, Butler Zhao came up to Mr. Qiao and said, "Old Master, do you really not need to warn the Fourth Young Master? He is indeed getting a bit close to the Queen."
The old man of the Qiao family took a sip of tea from the table and squinted his eyes. "Close? Close is good, close is wonderful. Do you know what's wonderful about it?"
"This... this little fool."
"Haha, the wonderful thing is that we are already five generations apart from the Empress. The wonderful thing is that Xiao Si is a playboy. The whole city of Yangzhou knows this."
"If the Empress and the Crown Prince succeed in their relationship, then our family will certainly have contributed to it. If it doesn't, then it's the scoundrels of the family who acted on their own, and it has nothing to do with our Qiao family."
"Over the years, Xiao Si has eaten what he should eat and played what he should play. It's time for him to make a contribution to our family!"
