Three days later, in the evening.
Chunlan and Chunping had prepared dinner and were about to eat in the courtyard when the girl who had appeared that day suddenly reappeared.
Wang Yong and Black Hawk immediately stood on either side of Chen Siyuan.
Upon seeing this, Chunlan and Chunping quickly added another set of bowls and chopsticks.
Upon seeing the person, Chen Siyuan quickly stood up and greeted him with a smile, "Miss, you've finally arrived?"
"Madam, how did you know I was coming back?"
“Since it was you, young lady, who invited us to stay here, I think you must have your reasons. I just need to wait patiently.” Chen Siyuan said, quickly reaching out to place the chopsticks in front of the young lady. “Try what we’ve made.” Chen Siyuan deliberately showed off the yang bracelet that Qiao Yuchen had given her.
It may seem like a small gesture, but it shouldn't be too obvious or too casual.
It seems like a very ordinary action, and it doesn't take much time at all.
After Chen Siyuan finished cooking, she looked at the other person, picked up her chopsticks, took a bite, and said, "The dishes here are very special. It may be related to the local soil and water. The taste is slightly different from what I usually eat."
She's been looking at books these past few days, but Chen Siyuan has been thinking a lot.
The Yin-Yang Bracelet originated from the Feather Clan, and this young lady's identity is not simple; she will surely recognize this bracelet.
Fortunately, the other party did come, and she wanted to verify whether her suspicions were true.
She deliberately said that the vegetables were different from what she knew, which might really be due to the soil and water, or that something unseen might have been added to the vegetables they were eating.
The speaking skills I learned in my past life come in handy at this moment.
Seeing that the other person actually took a bite, she wasn't entirely reassured.
The girl is from this area, so she might be fine eating it, but it would be a different story if I ate it.
Chen Siyuan was particularly concerned.
No matter what I'm eating, I'll take a good look at it for a while to see if I can identify any of the ingredients.
This was also a reminder given to her by her older brother's arrival, which inadvertently led to him being caught off guard.
"It tastes very good," the girl said slowly after taking a bite.
Chen Siyuan picked up her chopsticks and started eating.
She carefully observed the woman's eating habits, which were very casual and without any deliberate effort, indicating that this woman was different from the women she had encountered in the capital.
While feeling slightly relieved, I kept a close eye on the person's expression and demeanor.
The two ate their meal in silence. Chen Siyuan then invited the others to eat as well, while she sat at a distance watching the girl in front of her.
"Young lady, we apologize for disturbing you today because my elder brother recently arrived and may have done something inappropriate, offending someone. I hope you could perhaps..."
"Facial expressions".
"Miss Facial Expression, please help me." Chen Siyuan reacted quickly, directly transforming the girl into the Facial Expression Girl.
"Just call me Facial Expressions."
"Facial expressions, can you help me?"
Who are you?
"Chen Luyang, who came here not long ago, is my older brother. I am Chen Siyuan. I am here today because of my older brother's matter."
"Just this?"
She still looked like a young girl, but she gave off a different feeling, as if an unusual aura was surging in the air.
"Not all of them."
Tell me about it.
Chen Siyuan seemed to hear something crawling towards them for a moment, but then the faint sound disappeared.
"To be honest, I recently obtained the Yin Bracelet by chance, and later learned that it actually belonged to the Feather Clan." As he spoke, he revealed the Yang Bracelet on his wrist. "This is the Yang Bracelet."
"Your wife is quite capable, isn't she?"
"I guess so!" Chen Siyuan said, a hint of bitterness on her lips.
If it weren't for this, she probably wouldn't have come to this place.
"Does Madam have other intentions?"
Chen Siyuan smiled awkwardly, "Actually, I am a businessman. When my brother came here, he wanted to find the origin of the fabric. We wanted to import fabric in large quantities and hoped to reach an agreement that we would be the agents for all the fabrics produced here. Of course, our prices are fair and we will not try to lower prices."
"Madam, you have quite the skills. You've only come once, yet you've managed to accomplish three things."
"People are greedy, and I'm no exception."
"Madam is quite direct!"
“Since arriving here, I haven’t met anyone except for Yan Yi. I’ve found you to be a simple and honest person. I think there’s no need to beat around the bush with simple and honest people.”
Yan Yi looked at Chen Siyuan and said directly, "I won't give you the antidote for the love potion you want, but I will grant you one last request."
"Can I work directly with the girl?" Chen Siyuan asked impatiently.
They didn't have much time, but their interaction with this person was quite pleasant.
"No need, I will send someone to contact you."
Chen Siyuan chuckled twice. "Yan Yi, you don't believe me?" Chen Siyuan said, waving at Chunping who was standing in the distance.
Chunping arrived quickly, bringing with her a stack of silver notes.
Chen Siyuan placed the banknotes directly on the table, saying, "This is my deposit for ordering the fabric. If I change my mind, this deposit will belong to you."
Yan Yi glanced at the silver notes in front of her; the top one was worth a thousand taels.
This number excited her greatly, but she didn't show it on her face.
"Madam is truly generous."
"Business is all about integrity. If I don't even have this much sincerity, how can you, Yan Yi, feel at ease?" He then glanced at Chunping.
Chunping prepared paper and pen.
Chen Siyuan picked up a pen and paper and quickly wrote down the Cheng family's address in Beijing, as well as the address on Nanguan Street.
"This is the address of my home and shop. If Yan Yi has time, she can go and take a look, do an on-site inspection, and then decide whether to do business with me."
Chunping stood to the side, pondering their true purpose for coming. Chen Siyuan had only mentioned it briefly, and then there was no further explanation, as if they had only come to discuss business.
Chen Siyuan looked at the other person, not in a hurry for their answer.
She waited quietly, while also observing the other person.
From the moment she took out the silver note, she knew the game would require some maneuvering.
After a long silence, Yan Yi remained silent. Chen Siyuan spoke again, "We've been out long enough and plan to leave tomorrow. If you'd like, Yan Yi, you can visit the capital first... There are many fun places in the capital. We can go to Ping'an Temple to offer incense; the incense there is very efficacious. We can also go to Su Ji Pastry Shop to have some snacks." Chen Siyuan said this without needing any further prompting.
Chunping immediately went inside and took out the few remaining Suji pastries.
Chen Siyuan opened the package. "I ate some on the way here, and this is all that's left. Yan Yi, you can try some." As she spoke, she picked up a piece and offered it to Yan Yi.
He kept using exaggerated facial expressions, showing no intention of lowering his stance. It seemed that his conversation with his friend had become slightly more cautious.
right.
This is exactly the effect Chen Siyuan wanted.
Cooperation requires integrity, but too much emotion should not be involved.
