Gu Erniu, who had spoken to Mingyue earlier, suddenly walked in front of Gu Lili and shielded her behind him.
“Our family’s secret recipe is not for sale!” Gu Erniu said coldly.
He thought of what Wang Fugui had done, and he was afraid that Li Yingru would do the same.
Li Yingru was startled by Gu Erniu's sudden hostility, but she wasn't angry.
How can someone who's been in business for years keep getting angry all the time?
Harmony brings wealth!
"I'm so sorry, Manager Li. We had a falling out because Wang Fugui wanted our secret recipe, which is why we stopped cooperating with him," Gu Lili said, pulling Gu Erniu aside and explaining to Li Yingru with a smile.
Li Yingru nodded quickly, "Don't be angry, I was just asking casually. If you don't want to sell them, that's fine! I estimate that they should be sold out by the next episode. Then you can come and give them to me again, and I'll order more candy based on how well they sell!"
Gu Lili nodded and then pulled Gu Erniu away from the Li family business.
The siblings were walking down the street when Li Yuemei bumped into them.
Li Yuemei watched Gu Lili's departing figure with a burning hatred.
She felt that Gu Lili was a jinx, and that it was because she had offended Gu Lili that day that one unfortunate thing after another happened to her family.
Thankfully, my precious son didn't become that jinx.
Otherwise, the whole family would be ruined by Gu Lili sooner or later.
As Granny Wang said, this jinx has no parents.
Perhaps, she died far from home.
Thinking about it this way, Li Yuemei's depressed mood of the past few days seemed to dissipate a lot.
Compared to death, losing face seems to be of little importance.
Right now, the biggest headache is the stench from the shops; I don't know when it will go away.
These past few days, Wang Fugui has been throwing tantrums at me all the time, it's really infuriating!
Li Yuemei glared at Gu Lili before turning around and going home.
Gu Lili looked at Gu Erniu, who had been silent the whole way, and said, "Erniu, it's good to be wary of others, but sometimes being too straightforward isn't good for doing business, you know? People need to learn to be tactful and not show all their emotions."
Along the way, Gu Erniu himself felt somewhat annoyed.
What if they offend Manager Li and he doesn't want their candy anymore?
However, he was also afraid that Manager Li and Wang Fugui were the same kind of people who would harm his sister again.
Hearing Gu Lili say this, Gu Erniu also realized his mistake.
She nodded hurriedly and said, "I understand, sister! I know how to handle this kind of situation next time."
Gu Lili nodded with satisfaction and said, "When we get to Mingyue Town, I plan to let you try selling our candy yourself. Think about it carefully along the way. When we arrive, I'll wander around Mingyue Town, and you can sell it yourself!"
After hearing what Gu Lili said, Gu Erniu's hands were sweating with nervousness.
I wanted to give it a try, but I was also afraid that I wouldn't be able to sell them and that my sister would be disappointed in me.
Gu Lili had long seen through Gu Erniu's little scheme and laughed, "There are more than one business in a town. If this one goes out of business, just find another one. It's okay. Don't put so much pressure on yourself!"
Gu Erniu nodded and followed behind Gu Lili.
He was also wondering to himself what to do next.
Upon arriving at the city gate, Gu Lili instructed Tie Zhu's father to head towards Mingyue Town.
So the three of them set off for Moon Town.
It takes more than two hours to get to Mingyue Town by oxcart.
As Gu Lili looked at the scenery along the way, she thought about how to get the stone out with minimal effort.
Lost in thought, I arrived at Bright Moon Town without even realizing it.
By the time we arrived in town, it was already noon.
Gu Lili bought a few steamed buns at the steamed bun shop at the city gate.
Back on the oxcart, the three ate some steamed buns before Gu Lili led Gu Erniu into the city.
Gu Lili had never been to Mingyue Town before.
However, it actually looks even wealthier than Donghai Town.
"Auntie, do you know where there are any shops around here?" Gu Lili asked the auntie by the roadside with a smile.
The aunt pointed south and said, "Over there is the Han Family Trading Company, the largest trading company in the entire Mingyue Town. Whatever you want to sell, you can find it there!"
Gu Lili smiled and thanked the aunt, then walked in the direction the aunt pointed.
"Quick, catch the thief!"
Gu Lili looked up and saw a shifty-eyed man running towards her, with a scholar-looking man chasing after him.
Worried that Gu Lili would be bumped into, Gu Erniu pulled her aside.
Just as the thief was about to reach Gu Lili, Gu Lili stretched out her leg and tripped him.
The scholar caught up and quickly pinned the fallen thief to the ground.
Just then, the patrolling constables happened to be coming this way. Seeing the situation, they quickly subdued the thief.
The scholar successfully retrieved his wallet.
The constables caught the thief and took him to the yamen.
A burst of enthusiastic applause erupted from the crowd.
"Young man, those are really great legs! Thank you so much for earlier!" Han Mingyue said gratefully to Gu Lili.
As he spoke, he immediately put his arm around Gu Lili's shoulder.
Gu Lili froze on the spot!
Damn it, is she trying to take advantage of someone?
This person is utterly ungrateful!
When Gu Erniu saw his sister being bullied, he was instantly enraged.
He clenched his fist and swung it at Han Mingyue.
However, it seems he was a step too late.
With a simple over-the-shoulder throw, Gu Lili brought Han Mingyue to the ground.
"Where did this lecher come from!" Gu Lili couldn't help but spit.
The man before me was fair-skinned and clean-cut; who would have thought he was a lecherous thief?
You really can't judge a book by its cover!
Han Mingyue's face flushed red instantly upon hearing Gu Lili's voice.
Meaning, I just flirted with a young girl in the street!
But......
The person in front of me, apart from having a girl's voice, has absolutely no resemblance to a girl in appearance or figure.
The laughter from those around her made Han Mingyue feel even more ashamed.
"I'm so sorry, I really didn't know you were a woman. I was being presumptuous!"
Realizing what had happened, Han Mingyue quickly got up and apologized.
As he spoke, he took a silver ingot out of his wallet, intending to hand it to Gu Lili.
Gu Lili coldly shoved Han Mingyue aside, glared at her, and left with Gu Erniu.
Before leaving, Gu Erniu glared fiercely at Han Mingyue.
Han Mingyue watched Gu Lili's retreating figure, feeling a pang of regret.
I will never dare to be so rude to others again. I meant to thank them, but they ended up thinking I was a lecher.
well!
This little incident passed just like that.
Gu Lili led Gu Erniu straight into Han's Trading Company.
Gu Lili originally planned to wait for Gu Erniu outside, but she couldn't rest easy, so she went in with him.
