Qi Linyuan's car drove away into the distance.
No one noticed the hushed whispers of two small vendors hiding not far away.
"Little Sun, you see? Qi Linyuan doesn't like women."
The speaker was a middle-aged man with a slightly balding head.
His name is Qian Yan.
With a lewd smile on his face, he kept trying to persuade the little boy next to him:
"Look, your height and build are similar to Pei Sijin's. With a little dressing up, you'll definitely catch Qi Linyuan's eye."
With Qi Linyuan protecting us, our opium den won't be shut down again.
Xiao Sun looked at the man with difficulty, and timidly replied:
"But boss, what we're selling are black lumps, which are harmful to people. Lord Qi has explicitly forbidden them..."
"Tsk tsk tsk, what's explicitly prohibited or not prohibited?"
The world is in such chaos these days. Everywhere is the territory of foreign tribes from Yingzhou. Who knows, one day a gunshot might rang out and the peace here would be over.
"The place will be full of wounded soldiers and refugees then. Do you know what's most important?"
Qian Yan offered his self-righteous explanation:
"Money is the most important thing."
We have to make money by any means necessary, because only with money can we save our lives!
"You've been learning business from me for so many years, how come you still don't understand this principle?"
The thought of encountering that imposing and ruthless general filled Xiao Sun with dread.
"But boss, I'm not like Pei Sijin. I can't sing or perform opera..."
"Look at you, look at you, you're so ignorant, aren't you?"
Qian Yan lowered his voice:
"Who cares if you can sing in bed? If you just play along and say a few sweet words, what man wouldn't dote on you?!"
Look, with Qi Linyuan, even Pei Sijin, that unknown low-class actor, became an overnight sensation.
We're all honest and upright businessmen, why should we worry about not making a fortune?
Do you really want to live a life of constant fear and hardship for the rest of your life?
Xiao Sun couldn't help but swallow, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead due to nervousness.
His hands, with their distinct knuckles, clenched tightly, and finally, driven by jealousy, he nodded:
"Alright, I'll go to the Qi residence."
I don't want to spend my whole life wandering and suffering!
"Hey, that's more like it." Qian Yan said, stuffing a paper package into his hand and whispering a reminder:
"This contains highly toxic arsenic."
If Pei Sijin tries to win your favor, find an opportunity to put this in his food. You can guarantee he won't live more than half an hour.
"Then, won't you become Qi Linyuan's one and only beloved person?"
"Okay." Xiao Sun gripped the packet of arsenic tightly, his eyes filled with malice and calculation.
… …
Qi Linyuan had to go to handle official business, so Si Jin went into the Peach Blossom Garden alone.
After the boss disappeared, Peach Garden was leaderless.
Several prominent figures gathered in the council hall to discuss who to choose as the new boss.
"If you ask me, the boss has no children, and his closest relative is me, his eldest disciple."
Therefore, this peach blossom garden will still be left to me to manage.
"Impossible. I was the boss's adopted son before he died. I served him for so many years, and our relationship was even closer than that of a biological father and son."
This peach orchard must definitely belong to me!
"You're talking nonsense!" Qing Mianliu interrupted him.
"You only know how to sing opera, you have no business experience at all, so Peach Garden still has to be handed over to me!"
Have you forgotten? My boyfriend is Zhou Xingbang. He has the backing of the Chamber of Commerce, so he can definitely help me manage this garden well!
"If you don't hand it over to me, I have ways to get Xingbang to take it from you!"
Such unreasonable and arrogant words instantly silenced everyone.
Yes, in the end, Qingmianliu still has powerful backers.
In chaotic times, they couldn't win.
"Really? Then why did Zhou Xingbang bring roses to Xianle Palace early this morning to cheer me up?"
Si Jin arrived at the door, talking as she walked in, ignoring the astonished looks of the crowd, and naturally sat down in the boss's seat.
A kingly presence, confident and flamboyant:
"I've come to inform you that from this day forward, Peach Blossom Garden will be my private property."
Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Has Pei Sijin lost his mind after being famous for just two days?
He's just a nobody actor who's not favored by his boss, what right does he have to talk about private property?
Who gave him the nerve?!
