Chapter 6 How to talk about business with a man outside of your home?
No matter how unwilling Feng was, she still forced a smile on her face. Not only did she agree to let Gu Qingning go, she also gave her a few more loving instructions.
"Qing Ning, when you go out, you must bring more guards with you. Safety is the most important thing."
"Yes, mother."
Feng was willing to be a "loving mother", so Gu Qingning cooperated with her.
Shen Ruoying next to him was observing and observing his expressions.
When Gu Qingning was about to leave, she suddenly smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, is the place you are going to far? I see the weather is good today. My sister and I have often traveled together since we were young. How about I go with you today?"
Gu Qingning refused in a gentle and fair manner, "We have a lot to cover today, and it's quite far. You've always been weak, so let's forget about it this time."
After she finished speaking, she got up and left without waiting for Shen Ruoying’s reaction.
After Gu Qingning got on the carriage, Banxia muttered softly, "Miss, you didn't see it just now. When the Duke's wife heard that you were going out, her face was so scary! Also, Miss Cousin is also very strange. When she went out to play in the Shen Mansion before, she didn't take you with her."
Gu Qingning chuckled, "Mrs. Feng knew that the young master had a lot of assets under his name, and Aunt Chen suddenly handed it over to me to manage. She must be very surprised. As for Shen Ruoying, although she didn't know how much the young master had, she guessed something from his words and expressions, so she found an excuse to deliberately follow me."
Banxia: "Ah, then will they be jealous of you?"
Banxia still remembers the properties listed in the account book, and the annual income was quite a lot!
Gu Qingning: "They can only be jealous."
Gu Qingning has been dormant for so many years, and she doesn't want to pretend to be weak at this time.
Over the years, there has been no progress on the Lin family's affairs. It seems that some powerful people have covered up the truth.
Since we are following the path of ordinary people, we cannot find out the truth.
Then she has to stand higher!
The young master had a lot of property, even the shops on half of the busiest street in the west of the city were his.
When Gu Qingning arrived, a man in a lake blue robe was already standing there respectfully.
Chuan Gu said from the side: "Madam, this is Manager Su. He is in charge of all the properties in the capital under the name of the young master."
Su Ziyuan quickly bowed to Gu Qingning.
He has a handsome face, is elegant and gentle, and it is easy for people to have a good impression of him at first sight, making them let down their guard.
However, Gu Qingning had already asked someone to investigate before. This Su Ziyuan was a smiling tiger. He was very shrewd and capable of many tricks.
Come to think of it, if he were really a simple person, he would not be able to help the young master protect such a huge industry.
Su Ziyuan, like Chen Fenfang in the mansion, is the young master's confidant.
Gu Qingning raised her hand and said, "Manager Su, please get up. I am not familiar with many things. I hope you can help me take care of things."
Su Ziyuan nodded immediately, "It's all as I should. Madam, please follow me."
In order to prevent Gu Qingning from running around too much, Su Ziyuan immediately asked the managers and accountants of this street and nearby areas to wait here after receiving the news that his wife was coming to inspect.
As soon as Gu Qingning came in, everyone stood up and saluted her.
"Meet the madam."
The people in this room who were chosen by the young master to be managers and accountants are definitely not ordinary people.
In front of these people, Gu Qingning was very calm and generous. She walked to the right side of the center and sat down, saying gently: "Everyone, please take a seat."
Gu Qingning kept everything running as usual, and she also carefully looked through some account books and asked some questions related to the shop manager.
Some of the stewards who had a disrespectful attitude at first were shocked and adjusted their attitudes when they found that the young lady could answer all questions fluently.
Su Ziyuan concealed the admiration in his eyes and quietly looked behind the antique shelf behind the screen.
In the secret room behind the wall, the young master is inside...
About an hour later, Gu Qingning took a sip of tea and said to everyone, "I have asked someone to book a table at Cuixianglou. Let's go over there."
"Madam, please. Madam, please."
Everyone stood up and waited until Gu Qingning stood up before they followed.
After they all left, the admiration and amazement in Lu Jingyu's eyes in the secret room had not completely faded.
The middle-aged man in brocade clothes who was sitting next to him and drinking tea had a gentle and elegant look and smiled:
"Ah Yu, your wife is quite good. She doesn't look like an ignorant orphan from a small family. She is calm, generous, dignified and gentle at such a young age."
Lu Jingyu already had more sympathy for this Gu family.
So after receiving the news from Aunt Chen, he felt worried and came to take a look in person.
I was worried before whether my business and Songtao Pavilion would be affected.
Now it seems that with Gu's company around, he can rest assured.
Lu Jingyu was in a good mood and raised his lips slightly, "She is indeed good. Your Majesty, let's get back to business..."
"good."
Cuixiang Tower.
Here, Gu Qingning, Su Ziyuan and other managers had their meal together.
Although she was a little tired, Gu Qingning felt that today's events went exceptionally smoothly and she was very satisfied.
Although these managers wanted to examine her at first and asked some tricky questions, they also wanted to see whether she understood.
How could she not understand?
After all, the Gu family was a prestigious merchant family in Jiangnan.
Gu Qingning thought of the clinic she was going to open and looked at Su Ziyuan, "Manager Su, do you know of any suitable shops nearby that would be suitable for opening a clinic?"
Su Ziyuan: "Madam, what kind of clinic do you want to open?"
Gu Qingning: "I know a gynecologist, so I plan to open a clinic that specializes in treating women."
Su Ziyuan nodded, "Since it is prepared for women, we need to consider the location. If you trust me, how about I help you choose a few shops?"
Gu Qingning smiled and nodded, "Then I'll trouble Manager Su."
At this moment, someone suddenly walked in, and he said in surprise:
"Qing Ning, it's really you! Why are you staying with a group of grown men?"
The person who came was none other than Lu Hangzhi.
Ever since he married his sweetheart, Shen Ruoying, he has been in a good mood every day. In addition, his father has hinted that he would find a suitable opportunity to ask His Majesty to confer him the title, so he is even more proud and often entertains friends.
While eating, someone said that they saw Gu Qingning in the private room next door, with a group of men?
Lu Hangzhi refused to believe it and immediately stood up and came over.
When I looked at it, it was really her?
The people of Da Chu were open-minded and there was no rule that women could not show their faces in public.
However, some scholars and nobles would resist this and think it is shameful.
The Qin Duke's Mansion is made up of civil officials, with the exception of the young master Lu Jingyu, who is a military general. Lu Hangzhi is a civil official through and through. He believes that women should stay in the backyard, support their husbands, raise children, and take care of household chores.
How can I show up in public and talk about business with a man from another world!
Gu Qingning asked back: "Don't you know Manager Su and the others?"
