Chapter 335: I Know You
Just as Shen Qingqian was sighing in regret, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him.
After the last experience, Shen Qingqian knew who it was without even looking.
But Shen Xiao, who had never been here before, was surprised for a moment when he saw the newcomer.
"Li Hezhou, why are you here?" Chen Er also knew Li Hezhou. He had seen him many times in major restaurants and clubs in Beijing before.
Li Hezhou heard someone calling him, and when he saw Chen Er, surprise flashed in his eyes, "Mr. Chen Er, your Mr. Shen..."
He soon saw Shen Xiao beside Chen Er, and his expression changed immediately.
"You, you guys..." Li Hezhou pointed at everyone and was speechless for a moment.
The eldest son of Master Shen's family is a well-known figure to playboys like them.
Just ask which playboy in Beijing has not been taught by his family with words like "Look at Master Shen"? Anyway, Li Hezhou grew up in comparison with Shen Xiao.
However, the Shen family fell into ruin overnight. Grand Master Shen and his three sons were beheaded, and the rest of the Shen family was exiled to northern Hubei!
This news made countless people sigh and lament, and also made those playboys who had lived under Shen Xiao's shadow since childhood breathe a sigh of relief.
What Li Hezhou didn't expect was that he would actually run into Chen Xiao in northern Hubei.
"Mr. Li, it's been a long time since we last met. How have you been lately?" Shen Xiao nodded gently and greeted Li Hezhou.
He also knew this Mr. Li, but they had never spoken before.
The Li family has been in business for generations. Although they have a fortune, their descendants are not ambitious and none of them can pass the imperial examination to become an official in the court.
There was no other way. Before Old Master Li passed away, he tried every means to establish a relationship with Shen Qingman’s ex-husband Li Hezhi’s family. This allowed the business-oriented Li family to gain a foothold in the capital.
"Okay, uh, no, weren't you exiled? How come you're still running around?" Li Hezhou suddenly reacted and looked sideways at Shen Qingqian, "So you're the daughter of Master Shen's family, no wonder..."
He didn't say anything about it, but quickly changed the subject and became the dandy dandy again, "Mr. Shen, with your status, it's probably not appropriate for you to go out and do business."
"Mr. Li, we just exchanged our own seasonings with your restaurant. We don't have a store, and we don't sell them to anyone else. How can you say we are doing business?" Shen Qingqian replied immediately.
The three words "doing business" must not be confirmed, otherwise they will be punished.
"How is it not business? Didn't you earn money from our restaurant and take it back? Isn't buying and selling called business?" Li Hezhou got angry when he thought of the last time Shen Qingqian refused to sell the recipe, and refuted without thinking.
Shen Qingqian said with a forced smile, "Although we are exiles, the court still allows us to exchange leftover food for silver. These seasonings are all made by me, and the quantity is scarce. Even if I sell them all, it wouldn't be considered a business. Master Li, please stop slandering me."
"Sixth sister, since Master Li is like this, let's just assume that we came to the wrong place today." Shen Xiao thought about it and quickly spoke, winking at the others.
Chen Er understood, "Brother Shen is right. Although we are exiles, we don't have to live at the mercy of Master Li."
After saying this, he said to Shen Qingqian: "Sixth Miss, I saw a restaurant on South Street last time. Let's go there and see if they need any seasonings."
