Mu Gaoyi became more and more excited as he talked, but he did not forget to ask Zheng Quchi to verify the truth.
"Is the lady unaware of this matter?"
Upon hearing the surname Zhang, Zheng Quchi immediately realized: "Oh, I know, he was hired by Zhang Qinan to be our accountant. He's trustworthy, so you can entrust the matter to him."
If you don't consider how successful his business is, his efficiency in getting things done means he deserves to be the richest man in the world.
"He really is our accountant... Wait!" Mu Gaoyi's eyes suddenly widened, almost popping out of their sockets: "Zhang... Zhang Qinan?!"
Seeing his strong reaction, Zheng Quchi tentatively asked, "Yes, you know this person?"
"No, no one would be unaware of this, right? Well, it's not that, but even we craftsmen know a bit about prominent merchants. And the Zhang family is the foremost merchant family in the South." He gave a thumbs up with an expression of amazement.

Zheng Quchi picked up his pen again and started drawing blueprints: "I have nothing to do with him, but the cars we manufacture in the future will be related to him."
"What do you mean?" Mu Gaoyi asked, looking completely bewildered.
"I will gather all the craftsmen present and announce it together then. Now..."
"Madam, envoys from the imperial court have arrived!"
The guards outside the tent reported loudly, interrupting Zheng Quchi's words.
Zheng Quchi was taken aback.
...Have the imperial court sent people?
She put down her pen, immediately stood up, and strode out of the tent. After a brief moment of surprise, Mu Gaoyi followed her.
A soldier standing next to the guard was stationed at the gate. When he saw Zheng Quchi, he bowed and clasped his hands in a fist and reported, "Madam, people from the imperial court have arrived. They say they have an oral decree from the Prince of Ye. Please go and listen carefully."
