Chapter 7777779. Rumors
In the past, he was full of ambition and thought that after he had built up his business, he would pay a large sum of money to Governor Liang to buy the shop. After all, all the other restaurants he had run in the past were also like this.
But no one expected that Madam Gu, a woman of modest means, would have the courage to develop the restaurant to this level.
Mr. Wu still wanted to persuade his son to stop, "Now is not the time to think about these things, we should withdraw as soon as possible if we can stop the loss in time.
These days, other people in the family have opinions, so you should also consider your father's feelings.
You've been busy in the restaurant all day, so naturally they came to complain to me. Just listen to Dad this time."
His tone became a little tougher as he spoke later. Wu Kun also knew that this was the final bottom line. He nodded with difficulty and said, "I'll ask someone to deal with it later."
"In fact, if you ask me, this is entirely your fault," seeing his son agree, Mr. Wu wanted to say a few more words, "Don't you think it's strange that Madam Gu's bunk is on fire every time, while Governor Liang's bunk is not, even though it's the same place.
It's not just your Tianle Restaurant, but also the several shops opened by Madam Liang. Business is very bleak. In my opinion, it's simply because the feng shui of this place is bad.
You rented the storefront too early. If you had taken your time, the result might have been different.”
Wu Kun, “Maybe there is some influence from Feng Shui, but the real reason is that I am not as skilled as others.
Madam Gu's management of the restaurant is very innovative, but it's a pity that I can't learn from her."
Mr. Wu, "Everyone has his own way to success. Our ancestors built their success step by step from scratch.
Don't be too discouraged. After all, you are still young. There is nothing to do in the mansion now. Go and deal with the things at hand."
Wu Kun: "..."

Jin Qianqian felt a little puzzled. She didn't know when the rumor started saying that she occupied a good Feng Shui location in East City. No wonder every business she did was so prosperous.
I'm going to a birthday party today and listen to a lot of sour words.
"I've asked someone to check it out," Gu Wenheng held her hand as they walked in the yard to help digest their food. As for the two children, they had already run away.
“We should investigate who is spreading rumors and causing trouble.
We were the first to mark out this land, and now the other palaces will probably think we have bad intentions."
Jin Qianqian was a little worried, afraid that someone would take advantage of this to cause trouble.
"Let them talk. We are not afraid of slander. Let's first find out where the rumor came from." Gu Wenheng squeezed her hand. "Besides, when we marked out the land, we didn't ask a Feng Shui master to look at it. Anyone with a clear mind can tell the difference."
"I'm just worried that we can't wake up the person who's pretending to be asleep." Sometimes human hearts are just so complicated.
Gu Wenheng, "I have sent someone out to deal with it. Let's see what happens first."
"..." Jin Qianqian was a little curious, "You also sent people out to control public opinion."
"Aren't these just the leftovers of modern life? If someone spreads this kind of rumor, they must have other purposes and they wouldn't do it for no reason.
Until the culprit is found, we can only try to suppress the matter.
I have people out there in the crowd, and whenever the subject is brought up, my people are involved.”
Jin Qianqian gave him a thumbs up and said, "Then I have to have my people investigate faster and find the culprit as soon as possible. We can't let this loss go in vain."
Dong Market in Yeongchang County
A group of people sat under the tea stall, drinking tea and chatting about gossip during the recent period.
I have to say, the topic in Dongcheng is very popular.
"Have you heard? Lord Gu has taken all the Feng Shui treasure land in East City into his own name. I thought he was a good official before, but I didn't expect him to be the same."
“I’ve found this a little strange before. These are all newly built streets in East City, so why are Madam Gu’s shops doing so much business? So this is the reason. They are too wicked.
I heard that after they enclosed the land, they sold the remaining bad land to the officials in various prefectures. Isn’t this cheating their colleagues? "
“This person is selfish, how can he think about others?
Only you are stupid enough to think that there are good people among the officials. "
"You can't say that. Has Lord Gu done nothing practical for the people of Yi Province?
Don't you have a sense of gratitude before discussing these unknown and uncertain things?
Besides, if there really was such a thing as a Feng Shui treasure land in East City, it wouldn’t have been left barren for so long.”
“That’s right, I think some people are jealous of the other person’s booming business and spread rumors on purpose.
Don't you think that Madam Gu is a royal merchant, so she is naturally good at doing business. It's ok for these people to be inferior to her, but they still use such crooked tricks to smear others. "
"What you said makes sense to me. Before Lord Gu came, East City was just a bunch of barren mountains and wasteland. I've also been to her shops. The waiters there would always greet people with a smile when they saw them coming. They were much more accommodating than other shops.
To be honest, sometimes I am willing to go a little further to buy the same thing, because the waiters will chat with you when they have time, and their attitude is very nice. "
“That’s not true. I went to Tianfu Restaurant for dinner before and thought there was a dish that suited the elderly’s taste very well, so I ran to the kitchen to ask, and they didn’t hide anything and wrote down the recipe for me.
At that time, I was curious and asked the manager, aren't you afraid that the store will have no business? Who knew that the manager said disapprovingly that they didn't rely on this dish as their signature dish.
Besides, anyone who can afford to eat in a restaurant has money, it’s just a matter of changing the place, changing the taste, and filling their stomach.
Look how nice the words are! If it were any other shop, they would have kicked the person out."
"Now that you put it that way, it's true..."
The two of them, who had brought the topic back on track, smiled at each other, and sat there calmly drinking tea, adding a few words from time to time.
The same situation was happening elsewhere, and within a day the topic had veered off track.
For the next few days, people in Yongchang County were discussing how much changes had taken place in Yi Province since Lord Gu came.
They didn’t realize it before in the city, but to be honest, many people have benefited from it.
This is truly a good official. Maybe their province will undergo tremendous changes in the future and will no longer be just a poor area.
Jin Qianqian didn't expect that the wind direction would change in such a short time. Someone here also found out that the rumor actually came from Governor Liang.
"When did Madam Liang become so stupid?" Jin Qianqian's first reaction was disbelief. They had known each other for nearly a year. Even if Madam Liang disliked her, she had to consider the relationship between Governor Liang and Gu Wenheng.
