"On the first day of my business, Chen Hu showed up with a few of his thugs. I thought it was bad, and sure enough, he deliberately picked a fight and spilled the hot pot soup base on the table everywhere, scalding a customer. The other customers were all scared away. Lao Er and his men couldn't help it, so they had a fight with these thugs. Although we drove them away, the first day of business was a failure. We didn't make a penny and even lost a lot of money." said Boss Qian.
"Damn it! This guy is so arrogant and domineering, is there no one to do anything about it?" Uncle Xu said angrily.
"How can we afford to offend him when we just arrived? I wanted to take the token given to me by the old man to find the prefect, but I hesitated. After all, this person has a relationship with the prefect. If he is deliberately shielding us, we probably won't be able to stay in Qingyun City." Boss Qian said.
"I was afraid he would cause trouble again, so I stopped for a few days to think about whether there was a solution. I wanted to give Chen Hu some silver, but just when I was at my wit's end, something unexpected happened!"
Boss Qian saw that everyone in the room was looking at him and listening very attentively, so he cleared his throat and said, "The prefect brought people to find us, and also brought my lawyer and Chen Hu to apologize to us."
"That's not right, Boss Qian. Even if Chen Hu came to apologize, why would the prefect come here in person?" Uncle Xu asked in confusion.
"Actually, I don't know why this happened. Moreover, the prefect even drove away the prefect who had followed him for many years!" said Boss Qian.
"What? This... doesn't make sense! We are just a businessman and are not even in the eyes of the prefect. Is there something fishy going on here?" asked the old man.
"I don't know either, but this shop will continue to operate. The prefect even came here in person to support it. So with the relationship with the prefect, our business is booming and we haven't encountered any trouble during this period!" said Boss Qian.
The old man said, "If you can't figure it out, forget it. We've met a noble person who helped us!"
Qibao was also a little confused about who was helping behind the scenes. With Boss Qian's money, it was impossible for him to get a prefect to come and apologize in person.
Suddenly, her eyes turned and she realized that besides her family members, the only ones who went to Qingyun City to open a shop were Shopkeeper Tong and Shopkeeper Hong.
Then they knew, and the master behind them also knew, but she couldn't be sure which of the two people it was. No matter what, they helped her, and she remembered this favor.
Boss Qian continued, "It's Chinese New Year now! There aren't many people in the store anymore. I was thinking about taking a few days off and going back after the New Year is over."
The old man nodded and said, "That's right, the New Year should be lively and full of family reunion. That's what the New Year is all about! This year you all celebrate the New Year with me!"
Boss Qian hesitated and said, "This, isn't good?"
Wang said, "Why should we be afraid? We're family now, so let's not be distant. Just call me aunt from now on. Yueru calls me that too!"
"Dad, I want to spend the New Year at Grandma Xu's house!" Zhier shouted.
Boss Qian said, "Then I won't be shy. From now on, you can just call me Scholar! My full name is Qian Shusheng..."
"Scholar? This is an interesting name." said the old man.
Boss Qian said a little embarrassedly, "My father gave me this name. He wanted me to study so that I could bring honor to our family in the future. Although I studied, I was too stupid to achieve any results. I can only go home and inherit the family fortune. I am ashamed of the name of a scholar."
Qibao thought that this was just like what people say in modern times: if you don’t work hard, you will have to go home and inherit the family property. This was the dream of many young people in her previous life, but she didn’t expect to encounter it in this world.
The old man said, "That's not the way to say it. Scholar, you are good at business. Not everyone can do that. Besides, Xuedong is a good student. It won't be difficult for him to fulfill your father's wish in the future."
Boss Qian said, "How can he compare to Wenwu? I heard that even the Master respects Wenwu's knowledge! He will surely pass the imperial examination in the future."
The old man was very happy in his heart, but he said: "No one knows what will happen in the future, and it is hard to predict. You just came back, so take a good rest. We will eat soon."
Ever since the white wolf stopped running up the mountain, Yaya and Zhier have had two more playmates. Why not say four? It’s because Baishuang and Baixue have been leaders and have a high status in the wolf pack.
These two wolf cubs have another name, one is called Baiyin and the other is called Baiyan. Why are they called Baiyan?
It was all because of Xiaoliu. At that time, Xiaoliu hadn't gone to school yet, and he often played with the white wolves, and tricked them many times. So one of them rolled its eyes when it saw Xiaoliu, and that's how it got this name. Qibao couldn't persuade his sixth brother, so he just let it be.
Yaya and Zhier often play with Baiyin and Baiyan, but the two children are much gentler than Xiaoliu, so the two wolves are willing to play with them.
In the afternoon, his brothers also returned from school. When Qian Xuedong saw his father, he immediately went up to hug him and said happily, "Dad! You're finally back!"
"You're so old, but you still can't calm down." Boss Qian was talking about his son, but his face was full of love.
Wang asked, "Wenwu, when does your academy have its holiday? It's almost Chinese New Year, why is it so late this year?"
Xu Wenwu said, "It's because a great scholar of literature came to give a lecture at our college, and the dean didn't want to give up this opportunity to study, so it has been delayed until now. However, this great scholar has left today, so we don't have to go to the college tomorrow."
Xiao Wu said, "Hey! The dean asked all of us students to write a reflection on this lecture. After school starts, the dean will personally review each of our reports. How can I write a reflection?"
