"Miss Xu, I grew up in Tianyou City and am a businessman. From wealthy merchants to street vendors, there's nothing I don't know. Although the Jin family specializes in women's rouge, they also have some knowledge of other businesses. I've also dealt with other business owners before, so I'm very familiar with Tianyou City. I think this should be of help to Miss Xu."
Upon hearing this, Qibao agreed that finding someone familiar with Tianyou City to be in charge of his hot pot restaurant business could indeed reduce some unnecessary trouble.
"Then how can you accept that you were once the shop owner who had the final say, but suddenly became the boss who has to take orders from others? Can you accept this kind of change?" Qibao asked.
"Miss Xu, you also said it was in the past. Although I, Jin, have been a boss before, my shop has an average monthly profit of several hundred taels, which is enough for my family's food and clothing. But in the eyes of Mr. Xu and Miss Xu, this money is just a drizzle. I, Jin, am a person who can take it or leave it, and I do things in an upright manner. I will definitely not have any inappropriate thoughts because of this gap." Jin Huaishan said righteously.
Qibao could see that Jin Huaishan was indeed someone who could be used, so he said, "If you really want to work for our family, I'll send someone to take charge of the new store opening and other matters in a while. If you haven't changed your mind, you can come and try it out to see if you're a good fit."
"Thank you, Miss Xu. I, Jin, will definitely do my duty. Please rest assured, Miss and Sir." Jin Huaishan clasped his fists and expressed his gratitude.
After the Xu family and the others left, Jin Huaishan looked at the mother and son who were still kneeling on the ground, hugging each other and crying. He sighed and said, "Wansheng, stand up like a man. The shop is gone, but you still have to have the perseverance to survive. You are so young, aren't you as open-minded as your father? You still have a long way to go! Why don't you hold back this anger and start over as father and son?"
"Dad! I understand! I will definitely atone for the mistakes I made in the future." Jin Wansheng said gritting his teeth.
"You don't have to feel too burdened. Your parents just hope that you can cheer up again. You are our only child. Don't let us be completely disappointed in you. When your parents are old, they will still rely on you." Jin Huaishan comforted.
"Yes, my son, I will remember this. I will keep my eyes open in the future and will not be deceived by some villains again." Jin Wansheng said hatefully. He must cheer up. If he has the chance to find the woman who deceived him so miserably in the future, he will make her pay a heavy price.
After the Xu family left the Jin family, they saw Xiao Mingzhi and others who had been waiting outside.
When Xiao Mingzhi and his companions saw the Xu family members coming out, they asked, "Brother Xu, is everything going well?"
"Thank you for your concern, Brother Xiao. Everything is fine. Thank you also for your help, Brother Xiao. Otherwise, I would have to spend more time arguing with the people from Hongtai Casino." Xu Wenwu bowed and smiled faintly.
"Brother Xu, you don't have to be polite. If it weren't for Brother Xu, I wouldn't be able to let Gu Qiushu drop the matter with just a few words." Xiao Mingzhi said.
The Xu family members were a little surprised by what he said. Seeing this, Xiao Mingzhi explained again, "I only briefly told Gu Qiushu about Brother Xu's situation. He probably had some concerns, so he easily let it go. However, I hope Brother Xu will forgive me for telling Gu Qiushu about your status as a juren."
"It's okay. This is the first time I think the title of Juren is really good. It can also solve some small troubles." Xu Wenwu chuckled and shook his head.
"Brother Xu, you passed the imperial examination and became a juren at the age of sixteen. Don't underestimate yourself. Not to mention that there will be no one like you in the future, even since the founding of the Dragon Soul Kingdom, we have never heard of a sixteen-year-old juren. Brother Xu has a bright future. Most people will still give you some distance and dare not offend you too much." Xiao Mingzhi said.
"Brother Xiao, please be low-key. My brother is not the kind of person who likes to show off." Xiao Wu said proudly, as if Xiao Mingzhi was praising himself.
"Haha, Brother Xu is indeed low-key!" Xiao Mingzhi agreed with a smile.
Everyone laughed too.
"By the way, Brother Xu, I heard that Jin Wansheng got addicted to gambling, which led to such changes in the Jin family." Xiao Mingzhi said, looking at the gate of the Jin family.
He knew about the Jin family rouge shop. The rouge and powder they made were affordable for ordinary people. It was a time-honored brand and its business was very stable. He had known about this shop since he was a child.
"I don't know the specific reason. This is the Jin family's family affair, so we shouldn't ask too much." Xu Wenwu said.
"That's true, but it's a bit regrettable." Xiao Mingzhi said.
"Brother, it's almost noon and I'm starving." Xiaowu muttered softly.
Everyone wasted a lot of time because of this matter. It was already past breakfast time and it was almost time for lunch.
"Then let's have lunch early. It's the same as eating early and setting off early. How about Brother Xiao and a few others go together?" Xu Wenwu invited with a smile.
"Obedience is worse than respect." Several people readily agreed.
They simply found a restaurant, ordered a few dishes, and ate while chatting.
After eating and drinking, everyone returned to Donglai Inn to pack up and check out.
I followed Xiao Mingzhi and his companions all the way until we reached the gate of Tianyou City, where we stopped.
"Brother Xu, Xu's brothers and sisters, and Uncle Xu, we sent you here knowing that we have sent you here. We hope that everything will go smoothly for you when you arrive in the capital." Xiao Mingzhi and others said with a fist salute.
"Thank you, Brother Xiao, and everyone else for seeing me off all the way. When Wenwu returns, I will definitely have a drink with you all." Xu Wenwu replied in return.
"Then we will respectfully await Brother Xu's invitation. I will certainly support the Xu family's business in Tianyou City in the future." Xiao Mingzhi said.
"Thank you, Brother Xiao." After Xu Wenwu finished speaking, he got on the carriage. Qibao and Xiaowu also got on the carriage, opened the curtains, and waved goodbye.
After making sure everyone was seated, Zhiyan sat on the shaft of the carriage and gently slapped the horse's butt. Then the carriage slowly drove towards the outside of the city.
Looking at the carriage going further and further away, Xiao Mingzhi muttered to himself, "Brother Xu will surely rise to prominence in the capital this time. He will be unstoppable."
After interacting with Xu Wenwu, the people behind him all nodded in agreement. This man was talented, yet humble and polite, and calm and composed in the face of difficulties. It was truly amazing that a teenager like Lang could achieve such a level. Compared with him, they were indeed worlds apart.
"We are getting closer and closer to the capital. I don't know why, but my heart is pounding." Uncle Xu lifted the curtain of the car again and looked back. He could only see Tianyou City getting farther and farther away from them like a black dot.
Qibao
"Uncle, I see you are nervous, right? Actually, there is no need to be. Let's just treat it as an outing. Relax and enjoy the scenery along the way. It will be worth our long journey." Qibao comforted.
