Chapter 25 Buffet Burst
Cheng Yunshuo and Lu Lingyun have always treated each other with respect, and would even keep a certain distance with a strong sense of boundaries.
He nodded at her and his eyes fell on the woman wearing a martial arts hat behind her.
Without asking, Lu Lingyun said, "My best friend came to see me."
Cheng Yunshuo had several other men around him, so Lu Lingjun didn't even tell him about Wang Qiluo's background.
Cheng Yunshuo nodded and took Xing Dairong, who was chatting happily with others, to the banquet hall.
One of the two men behind him said, "This girl looks like the daughter of General Wang."
Lu Lingyun frowned slightly when he heard his name. Cheng Yunshuo then introduced them, "They are both my friends. This one is Luo Heng, the son of the new Shaoqing of the Dali Temple."
When Lu Lingyun heard the words "son of the Dali Temple's Junior Official", his palms tightened immediately.
On the other side, Luo Heng spoke in a familiar manner, "Is this Miss Wang? I am Luo Heng, and my father and I met you and General Wang in the suburbs three months ago."
Luo Hengsheng is as gentle as jade, polite, and his words make people feel good.
Lu Lingyun suddenly became nervous. It was this person. It must be this person.
In his previous life, he married Wang Qiluo, but abused her to death.
"It's fate that we meet. Why don't we have dinner together in Yunshuo?" he continued.
Cheng Yunshuo also said at this time, "Do you all know each other? Since you all know each other, let's have dinner together."
Wang Qiluo behind Lu Lingyun did not speak in a hurry. Lu Lingyun said hurriedly, "No, it's late. My aunt asked me to send my sister back early. After all, she has not left the house, so it is inconvenient for her to have dinner with me."
Lu Lingyun's excuse was very organized. She waved her hands and told Wang Qiluo not to make a sound.
At this time, Xing Dairong sneered, "You old feudal people are always following rules and regulations. How can eating a meal be so inconvenient? You don't mind it."
If it was any other day, Lu Lingyun would have let it go, but today, because it was for Wang Qiluo, she said directly, "Miss Xing, it is inconvenient for a girl to meet a man outside the palace. You are not particular about small matters, but you cannot expect others to be the same as you."
What this means is that if she is shameless, then she can be shameless on her own.
Don't pull others.
"What do you mean?!"
"Okay," Cheng Yunshuo quickly tried to smooth things over, "It's really inconvenient, let's go eat by ourselves."
He naturally respected Lu Lingyun.
After all, people are really different.
The identity at the beginning determines the weight.
Lu Lingyun was his wife in name only, and a legal wife should be respected.
He took Xing Dairong and his two friends to the banquet hall. When they passed each other, Luo Heng looked at Wang Qiluo with a faint smile on his face, and Lu Lingjun inadvertently blocked his gaze.
After they left, Xing Dairong was still resentful.
"Am I wrong? Aren't we supposed to pursue freedom in life? Why do we need so many rules? Look at me, I never feel anything when I eat with you guys. We are all friends."
"I think what you said is very right, Miss Xing." Luo Heng agreed.
"Some people are just stubborn and old-fashioned!"
After they walked away, Wang Qiluo frowned and held Lu Lingyun's hand, "Lingyun, is that the extraordinary woman?"
"Exactly."
Wang Qiluo whispered in her ear, "I think she's really annoying."
Lu Lingyun chuckled. She held Wang Qiluo's hand tightly and thought about Luo Heng's attention to Wang Qiluo. "Do you really know that Luo Heng?"
"We've only met once, so we can't really be considered acquaintances." Wang Qiluo shook her head. This was also the reason why she had been silent for a long time just now.
After hearing this, Lu Lingyun said, "Stay away from him from now on and ignore him."
"Why?"
Lu Lingyun thought for a moment and said, "Just look at how he answered Xing Dairong. Is he a good person?"
Wang Qiluo nodded seriously, "You are right."
Seeing her like this, Lu Lingyun felt relieved. It seemed that she had nipped the bud in the bud. However, he must not let his guard down and must pay more attention to it in the future.
She chatted and laughed with her, personally sent her to the carriage, and then arranged for two servants from the marquis's mansion to follow the Wang family's carriage to send Wang Qiluo back.
By the time the news came back that Wang Qiluo had returned home safely, the meal in the banquet hall had almost been finished.
Hearing the servants report, Cheng Yunshuo's two friends were chatting happily with Xing Dairong, and Cheng Yunshuo himself didn't say a word.
The two of them were full of praise for Xing Dairong's novel idea of buffet, but Xing Dairong came up with several new projects in succession.
She talked about her plan to open a milk tea shop and a lingerie shop in front of them.
The drink shop was fine, but when she described the lingerie shop, Cheng Yunshuo's face changed.
Finally, the banquet ended when Cheng Yunshuo said Xing Dairong was drunk and forcibly took her away.
His two friends all laughed and praised Xing Dairong as a remarkable woman.
Lu Lingyun told all the servants who had heard it to shut up.
But I didn't expect that Xing Dairong really wanted to open a lingerie store.
She thought that women in ancient times did not wear underwear, and her new idea of underwear would be very attractive to women of this era.
She just thought that once her store opened, she would make a lot of money!
Modern lingerie shops also make huge profits!
This industry has a low threshold, is easy to operate, and is absolutely hot!
She pestered Cheng Yunshuo for several days, telling him her plan in all seriousness. Just when she was about to convince him, the Ju Fu Buffet she had set up was closed down by the government.
Kang Ping hurried over to find Cheng Yunshuo, "Prince, something terrible has happened! Our buffet restaurant has been closed!"
As soon as these words fell, Cheng Yunshuo and Xing Dairong all turned their heads and asked, "What's going on?"
Kang Ping looked embarrassed and said, "It was our suppliers of materials. They sued our buffet."
“What are they suing us on?”
"It's because we can't pay for the goods." Kang Ping handed over a thick account book. "Since opening, the buffet has been losing money every day. The payment for materials and goods has always been in arrears. Now the debt is too much. We can't pay it back, so they sued us."
Xing Dairong snatched the account book. The numbers on the account book were the Arabic numerals she had taught her, but she still couldn't understand the accounts.
Cheng Yunshuo took it at this time. He looked at the numbers on it. After reading page after page, a number that shocked him popped up.
"One thousand one hundred and fifty taels?!"
"Yes." Kang Ping nodded. "Our daily material costs are around 40 to 50 taels. The buffet's highest daily profit is 10 taels, and the lowest is only 5 taels. We lose more than 80% every day. We already owe our suppliers 1,150 taels."
"How can you owe so much?" Xing Dairong raised his eyebrows, "How do you manage it?"
"Miss Xing, we have made everything according to your request. Even if the original price is 40 cents per person, it is really a loss! You don't know how much these people can eat, and who they are. One person wants to eat the whole family's amount! In our store, there are often people who eat more than ten kilograms of food every time, and then go back and spit out everything and give it to the whole family."
"How is this possible!"
