Chapter 85: Rejection
Pu Qiongzhi didn't expect this man to be so timid.
She was so scared just by asking a question. If someone didn't know, they would think that the Pu family had done something to him.
She helped him up and said, "You don't have to be nervous."
"You're doing this for the future of the shipping company. It's nothing serious."
"I've discussed this with my father. You'll continue to be the manager of this shipping company. You can report anything directly to me."
When that person heard that the young master had forgiven him so easily, he couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Thank you for your forgiveness, Young Master. I really... don't know what to say! Don't worry, I, Luo Lei, will follow your lead from now on."
Pu Qiongzhi smiled slightly. "This shipping business is what you and Mr. Luo have devoted your entire lives to. Let's continue this business together."
"Yeah!" When Luo Lei heard her say this, he realized that she understood their shipping business.
Soon, the Pu family's team of craftsmen arrived.
Their clothes were not very neat, but they all looked very capable.
The leading craftsman was a strong man named Lu Puhe.
Different from Nangong Xue's high-spirited, romantic and casual personality, Lu Puhe is calm, reliable and meticulous.
The Pu family craftsmen he led did their work meticulously. Although the exterior design was a bit ordinary, it was stable and reliable and would not collapse at the slightest disturbance.
When Lu Puhe saw Pu Pu Qiongzhi, he walked towards her.
He was tall and strong, with a face dark from years of wind and sun.
Pu Qiongzhi had long been accustomed to his appearance, but Gongsun Huaili next to her was shocked.
This man walked with a gust of wind and a dark face, and he looked as if he was going to beat someone up!
He even had a defensive posture, but when the man opened his mouth...
"Young Master, when will Master Han Suzi arrive in Lin'an?" He spoke with a heavy nasal tone, and there was an inexplicable sense of foolishness in his voice.
Gongsun Huaili watched as a ferocious beast turned into a stupid big bear.
Lu Puhe had heard of Han Suzi's name long ago and had always admired his skills.
I heard that Han Suzi's team was under the Pu family's name, so I really wanted to meet him.
Pu Qiongzhi didn't know when Nangong Xue would be free.
He sent a letter after arriving in Wanning Prefecture. The handwriting was illegible, saying that he was very busy every day.
If he hadn't sent back a bunch of local specialties, Pu Qiongzhi would have thought he was kidnapped!
As for Nangong Hua, he didn't care at all when his younger brother was at home.
Now that he goes out, he always asks this question.
Pu Qiongzhi didn't know why, but she remembered what he said last time about pleasing her...
It's hard for him to say it!
Gongsun Huaili noticed the change in her expression and felt vaguely uncomfortable.
"What are you thinking about?" he asked.
Only then did Pu Qiongzhi realize that she had been in a trance.
"Nothing much. Our main task is to build the ship, and especially to furnish it with a new batch of goods."
Pu Qiongzhi flipped through the drawings and gave him a brief explanation.
"Your Highness, look, this is a cross-legged chair. It was originally an ancient Huchuang, but was later modified into this shape by the people of the previous dynasty."
"Previous dynasty?" Gongsun Huaili was not very familiar with these things.
Even though the teachers would provide them with some of the necessities of life for the people, they would not talk about these household appliances and their history.
Seeing that he was interested, Pu Qiongzhi said a few more words, "That's right."
"However, our craftsmen have made some improvements to these parts. Look, they've added a headrest here so that when you lean back, you can lean your head back on it, and your hat and turban won't fall off."
Gongsun Huaili didn’t know much about it before, but when it came to its use, he understood a lot.
"The advantage of this chair is that it can be folded up and carried on the shoulder. It is very convenient to take with you when you go to war or go out!"
"Exactly. After all, some adults need a place to sit when they go out. But without a backrest, it's not very dignified, and they have to bend down to pick up their hat and scarf all the time, which is very inconvenient!"
"This thing is really good. What else?" Gongsun Huaili looked at another one.
Pu Qiongzhi pointed and said, "This is a folding-back chair, that is, a chair with armrests."
"This seems very ordinary." Gongsun Huaili touched his chin and looked at it for a while.
Pu Qiongzhi nodded. "Indeed. This folding chair doesn't have any particular function. It just has a short backrest and a simple silhouette."
"The main thing is that the overall appearance should be simpler, and I think people will like it more."
"It turns out it's just beautiful, an embroidered pillow." Gongsun Huaili came closer to her and listened to her.
Pu Qiongzhi looked at the face so close to her and the other hand on the back of her seat.
His actions, which he thought were natural, were very annoying to her.
However, she didn't say anything in the end, but she felt a little annoyed.
Nangong Hua would not do anything without considering her wishes.
Thinking of this, Pu Qiongzhi calmed down again.
Why do I think of him again!
"What about this one?" Gongsun Huaili pointed to another one as she turned the page.
Pu Qiongzhi looked at the pattern, somewhat confused, "Is this... a couch?"
"It looks like the kind of bed that monks use for practice. I've seen it once in a temple!" Gongsun Huaili frowned.
Pu Qiongzhi pondered for a moment and told the truth, "Your Highness, this is not our atlas."
"However, it can be seen that this is a couch that needs improvement...it looks quite charming."
"I wonder if I can show this blueprint to the Pu family's craftsmen?" She asked Gongsun Huaili for his opinion.
According to the Ninth Prince, this blueprint was drawn by Pei Wanqing.
But Pei Wanqing was painting for the Ninth Prince, so the decision was naturally in his hands.
Pu Qiongzhi knew that the Ninth Prince would never refuse her request.
What's more, now both of them are the owners of this shipping company.
Gongsun Huaili saw the pleading look in her eyes and said, "Qiongzhi, you know I won't refuse you."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Pu Qiongzhi thanked him.
She felt it was not enough and added, "Your Highness treats Qiongzhi very well."
"This is not enough." Gongsun Huaili heard her say this and responded with this sentence.
Pu Qiongzhi was a little surprised and turned back to look at him again.
Then, as if frightened by his burning gaze, she quickly stood up and put some distance between them.
"Your Highness... I'll go see how Lu Pu and the others are doing on their investigation."
After saying that, she hurried away, leaving Gongsun Huaili alone to savor the moment.
Is she shy?
Sure enough, it was impossible for her not to feel his feelings!
Now that she felt it, it was impossible for her not to be touched at all!
…
Pu Qiongzhi turned around, her expression normal, without any trace of shyness from before.
Now that she has what she wants, there is no need to stay here any longer.
If you don't retreat now, when will you retreat?
However, if you want to retreat, you have to be reluctant but also willing, and pretending to be shy is the best.
