Chapter 125: Abandoned
"It doesn't matter, as long as Qiongzhi likes it."
Gongsun Huaili raised his hand and spoke to her with a smile.
"Why is Your Highness here? Are you here to ask for Miss Fang?" Pu Qiongzhi asked preemptively.
Gongsun Huaili was stunned at first, then he became a little indifferent and said, "Those things are not serious."
"I heard that Gao Zhicheng went to Beijing." He poured a cup of tea for Pu Qiongzhi.
"My people wrote to say that our shipping business has been revived! These furniture are very popular with wealthy families!"
"As expected, once Pu family takes action, all businesses will flourish!" Gongsun Huaili praised without hesitation.
Pu Qiongzhi said modestly, "It is only because of your highness's generosity that you are willing to give up so many skilled craftsmen from the shipping company that our business has been able to succeed."
"Now, the new prefect who has just taken office in Lin'an Prefecture is my man. I will arrange for the shipping company's furniture to be brought to Beijing as soon as possible." Gongsun Huaili explained his subsequent plans to her.
Pu Qiongzhi asked at the right moment, "Your Highness, have you found a suitable shop?"
"What do you think of the location of Yuelai Inn?" Gongsun Huaili asked directly without any hesitation.
When Pu Qiongzhi heard this, she looked at him.
Does this mean that you are ready to give up Yuelai Inn completely?
Poor Fang Miaozhu worked hard for a long time, but in a moment she became someone else's abandoned child.
"Your Highness, Yuelai Inn is Miss Fang's hard work after all... Besides, it is my Ruilou, and there is a lot of traffic. If I sell furniture there, it will be inconvenient to transport, and it will not suit the guests' mood." Pu Qiongzhi still declined.
Gongsun Huaili thought for a moment, then dug out a booklet and handed it to her. "This is the shop under my name. Can you tell me which location is best for you?"
"This...how can I see this?" Pu Qiongzhi didn't expect him to do this.
If she sees something she shouldn't see, it will involve too many things and she won't be able to bear it.
Seeing how nervous she was, Gongsun Huaili knew that she was afraid of someone prying into his secrets.
Although he was not afraid of her snooping, since she was so sensible, he had to appreciate it, right?
"It's okay. These shops are well-known and everyone knows they are my property."
"It's not much in total, it doesn't hurt to take a look."
Pu Qiongzhi then took it and quickly browsed the locations of these places.
These shops are all located in excellent locations. There are even a few that, although not successful now, have potential in the future.
She was slightly shocked.
Unexpectedly, although the Ninth Prince had no talent for business, he was blessed with good luck.
"Your Highness, these shops are all in excellent locations and cannot be easily moved."
"These stores haven't opened yet, and I haven't decided what to do with them! It's a good opportunity for you to help me think about it!" Gongsun Huaili gestured.
Pu Qiongzhi heard that he trusted her so much, so she simply stopped making excuses and said, "In that case, we can sell furniture and ornaments here."
"These places are all brokerages, and the houses around them are densely populated, and most of them are wealthy families... I should be able to buy something good."
"And the roads here are well-connected, so if you need to transport things, it's convenient for vehicles to come and go."
Gongsun Huaili took a quick look and decided, "If you think it's a good choice, then let's go with this one! I'll have someone arrange it later."
"Then I'll trouble you, Your Highness." Pu Qiongzhi smiled.
She doesn't have to worry about anything and just wait to be paid.
"What brings you here today?" Gongsun Huaili asked after finishing his business.
He just saw Fang Miaozhu coming out covered in dust, so he simply hid in the car and didn't get out.
The girl was too noisy, and her chattering gave him a headache.
Pu Qiongzhi thought for a moment and explained, "I saw a student writing a book in Ruilou. He was clearly poor, but his book was widely praised. After asking around, I learned that a bookshop had pirated his book and was selling it, so he, the author, couldn't sell a single copy."
"It just so happened that the notebook I bought for the restaurant was used by Miss Fang, so I took advantage of this opportunity to express my thoughts..."
"It's okay, you don't need to worry about me! Originally, I gave her the management of Yuelai Inn, but it seems that her talent in this field is not as good as yours."
"This season, the revenue of Yuelai Inn is no longer what it used to be. Moreover, she isn't focused on this and resorted to such tactics. You're just trying to protect your own interests. She's wrong."
"In my opinion, there's no need for the Yuelai Inn to remain open!"
Gongsun Huaili's words were the final word, and he mentally sentenced Fang Miaozhu's business to death.
Originally, he was dissatisfied with Fang Miaozhu's inability to make money and his repeated troublemaking.
She did have some ideas about the money she earned from her dolls, but they were just toys for little girls and too stingy.
What's more, she is now completely focused on her bookstore, secretly saving her profits and even concealing her financial statements...
Originally, he just thought she was a little stupid, but easy to control and absolutely loyal to him.
But now she has her own little thoughts, so there is not much good left in her...
In particular, the money she earned in such a long time was not as much as what Qiongzhi earned in just half a month of sailing.
In his opinion, this chess piece is already half useless.
Pu Qiongzhi also understood what he meant.
It was obvious that he wanted to give up on Fang Miaozhuo!
He is decisive and cold-hearted... He will kick people away if they are no longer useful.
Pu Qiongzhi recalled that Pei Wanqing and Fang Miaozhu seemed to have tried to win her over twice before...
These two people are probably about to compete with each other because of the Ninth Prince!
"Your Highness is so sensible and truly a role model for us." Pu Qiongzhi praised.
Gongsun Huaili couldn't help but raise his lips when she praised him. "It's my duty to do something for the literati."
"Having a prince like you is a blessing for Daliang and a relief for the people!" Pu Qiongzhi naturally stroked his hair when she saw that he was happy.
Gongsun Huaili suddenly mentioned another matter at this time, "I heard that you were assassinated a while ago?"
"Yes. I don't know how... I encountered such a thing. Fortunately, I was safe in the end." Pu Qiongzhi's face did not look good, and she seemed to be still in shock.
Gongsun Huaili then took advantage of the situation and said, "How about I send someone to protect you? I didn't expect the thieves to be so rampant nowadays! They even dare to assassinate the emperor."
"But I'm still completely confused. I don't know which immortal I offended to bring about such a disaster!" Pu Qiongzhi seemed puzzled, and then she said sadly, "The King of Jinnan has sent people to investigate this matter, and I've also reported it to the authorities, but there are no clues for the time being."
"Thank you, Your Highness, but if there are too many people around me, it might alert the enemy." Pu Qiongzhi naturally couldn't let him send anyone.
Otherwise, her every move from now on will be monitored by the other party!
