The villagers kept staring at Bai Nuo and his companions, seemingly scrutinizing them. Seeing this, Bai Nuo immediately laughed. "What? Don't you trust us? Or are you turning down business opportunities?"
The man sizing them up remained silent, but Bai Nuo was determined to see their leader today and wasn't about to give up. He immediately sneered, "That's strange. I've never seen anyone refuse to do business. If you have business to do but don't, what's the point of supporting such a large group of people? You might as well go home and grow sweet potatoes!"
Xia Donglai hadn't known Bai Nuo for long and had never seen Bai Nuo belittle people like this before. He couldn't help but look at Hu Mingmei with concern. Would Second Master, who was so tactless, suffer if he were with Bai Nuo?
"What nonsense are you spouting?" A woman shouted as soon as Bai Nuo finished speaking!
Bai Nuo chuckled and said, "Since that's not the case, then prove it to me. I'm also here sincerely to find a partnership, but you won't even let me see you. That's very suspicious!"
"Let her meet our boss!" someone whispered to the woman who had spoken.
The woman scrutinized Bai Nuo for a moment before saying, "Come with me!"
Then she walked ahead, and Bai Nuo and the others quickly followed. Seeing that the woman had left, Bai Nuo couldn't help but whisper to Hu Mingmei, "Second Master, why is your family acting so strangely?" Doing business is not like being a thief or rebelling. Why do you not quickly bring people in when they come to your door, but instead look at them warily?
How can there be any business like this?
Hu Mingmei was also puzzled, so she could only say, "I don't know!"
The Hu family is no longer under his control, and he doesn't know everything. He only has a few people around him who can be relied upon, and he can't control everything!
Seeing that Hu Mingmei also looked confused, Bai Nuo had no choice but to shut up and say nothing.
After walking with the woman for about fifteen minutes, Bai Nuo and the others left the house area and arrived in front of a large courtyard. The courtyard was really big, at least four times the size of the Bai family's house. As soon as they entered, they saw people coming and going, and there were many houses with various roofs arranged in a staggered manner.
Bai Nuo also saw people refining gold and silver inside!
The various forms of heat made this place incredibly hot.
As soon as they came in, everyone who was working stopped and looked at them.
"Old Li's wife, what do these people do?" a man asked.
"They're all here to discuss business. I'll take them to find Brother Hu," Old Li's wife said with a smile.
"Don't look around!" Old Li's wife said to the man, then turned to Bai Nuo and the others.
Bai Nuo smiled kindly at the woman, then looked away and continued walking. Seeing that they were all quite obedient, the woman didn't say anything more and led them on.
Bai Nuo quietly asked Hu Mingmei, "How can you do alchemy here? Isn't that illegal?" No matter where you are or what dynasty you're in, aren't these things controlled by the imperial court?
"This was left behind by that princess and my grandmother. It belongs to us, not the imperial court. However, this is all we can make; we can't make coins." The current currencies are copper coins, silver, and gold, and all currencies in circulation have official designations.
So all they have is mountains of gold and silver; nothing else is of any use to them.
Bai Nuo clicked his tongue in amazement. This family is really rich! They really are second-generation rich kids!
No, he's a second-generation royal.
What treasure has she found?
"We're here, you can go in now!" The Li family's daughter-in-law led them to the entrance of a large hall and stopped there.
When Bai Nuo looked inside, he saw that it was almost entirely filled with women working, and there were stacks of gold and silver bars inside, glittering so brightly that they almost blinded him.
"Your family is really rich!" Bai Nuo said almost inaudibly. This is just the tip of the iceberg of the Hu family's wealth. We can already see so much gold on the tip of the iceberg. What if the whole iceberg is revealed?
"If you like it, I'll give it to you as a betrothal gift!" Hu Mingmei replied softly, finding her money-grubbing behavior particularly adorable.
"Okay!" Bai Nuo agreed happily. "I'll take this!"
"Brother Hu!" Li's wife didn't hear the two of them talking. After reaching the door, she called out loudly.
Everyone was looking at the doorway.
A man was sitting in the middle of the first row by the door. After hearing the voice, he turned around and looked at them. His gaze lingered on them for a moment before he said, "Come in!"
Then, he got up first, dragged his shoes, and left.
Bai Nuo and her group were there to do business, not to seek employment, and his attitude angered Bai Nuo.
They're not his subordinates, so why should he treat them like this?
Even if they are here to apply for jobs, they are not their employees yet, so why do they think they are superior?
Bai Nuo was extremely unhappy!
She was very bothered by this matter.
The boss is still standing here, and he's just a hired hand, yet he's putting on airs!
Bad review!
Bad review!
Ten thousand negative reviews!
Based on his attitude alone, she's going to buy this place and make him have to watch his face every day!
Bai Nuo was internally cursing, but he didn't show his displeasure. He calmly followed behind the other person and entered the house that Brother Hu had led them to. Brother Hu was already sitting inside, a pipe between his teeth, and skillfully making tea. As he did so, he looked at the door and said, "Come in."
