Young Master Meng was almost kicked out.
As soon as the door opened, there was a crowd of people at the door, and several of them said in unison: "Master Tang, I heard that a fairy came to your house!"
"What does it look like? Does it really look like a god?"
"Yes, a living god," Tang Shiyue stepped aside and said, "This is Mr. Meng, he is about to leave."
She signaled him with her eyes to get out quickly and not to implicate her.
Meng Yiqiu: "..."
What can he do?
You have to pretend to be cool even if you have to kneel down. A real handsome man dares to face the baptism of countless gazes.
So he tried to maintain his elegance and walked out. The people outside followed his movements, sometimes forming an "O" shape, sometimes forming a "U" shape. He was essentially being pushed by the crowd. Some people even made "wow" sounds from time to time, and made all kinds of comments:
"It's so beautiful! It really looks like a fairy!"
...
...
"Look at his hands! His hands can even move!"
"This leather is so smooth, like a jade carving. I don't know what it feels like to touch it!"
"Oh my, this waist, why does it look so soft? It's softer than the young opera singer's!"
Meng Yiqiu: "..."
In fact, they really didn't mean any harm. In places like the village, people all lived together in clans, just like a big family. If a guest from the city came to someone's house, they would come over to see what was going on and help out, and they were very welcoming.
Mr. Meng respectfully declines the offer.
When he was the center of attention among the young ladies in the capital, he felt like the "moon" in the middle, but now, he felt like the "monkey" in the middle of the monkey show.
He walked as if he was being chased by a dog, for fear that if he walked too slowly these people would touch him!
When he walked to the carriage and looked back, he saw that the gate of the Tang family was tightly closed. They looked like they were minding their own business! It was obvious that they didn't care at all about how he was treated...
His mood is indescribable!
I thought she would be crazy about him, but he just ruthlessly destroyed her! He covered his chest and got into the carriage.
When I got back to Sifang Restaurant, I ran into Manager Shen.
When he first arrived, the two chatted for a while, and the conversation was quite speculative. Seeing him come back, Manager Shen stopped and smiled, "Mr. Meng, are you back from Jubao Village? Have you met Mr. Tang?"
"Don't mention it." Meng Yiqiu said a few words to him hastily, and Manager Shen laughed loudly when he heard it.
Then Meng Yiqiu asked, "I heard that the Tang family started their business with wine, and the earliest Fushou wine was sold to you?"
Shopkeeper Shen smiled and said, “Exactly.”
Meng Yiqiu raised his hand and invited him: "If the shopkeeper is free, why not come in and have a chat."
Shopkeeper Shen smiled and said, "Then I will be disrespectful to refuse it."
He laughed secretly inwardly.
On the first day Meng Yiqiu came, he knew that he had business dealings with Tang Shiyue, but he did not ask much. Later, he called Meng Ziyang over and began to investigate. However, it was not until this time that he invited him... This was when he really took it seriously.
Before, they valued things, but now they value both people and things. This is a good thing for them.
So the two chatted for a long time, and Shopkeeper Shen was a very competent Tang Chui Chui, and he blew a lot of it without making a sound, and Meng Yiqiu nodded slowly: “I have heard some rumors, but I didn’t expect that she had this kind of temperament.”
Shopkeeper Shen smiled but said nothing.
It's more of a way than a temperament.
But she has the ability to make everyone regard this approach as her true nature.
You have to know that Tang Shiyue is a woman and a child. These two characteristics determine that when others talk business with her, it is completely different from talking business with others. She can't be "dignified", "close" or "mixed", so she can only choose to use other ways to narrow the distance and gain trust and respect.
For example, when she first met him, she showed maturity and wisdom far beyond her age; when she first met the people from the Chamber of Commerce, she was unusually knowledgeable and erudite; and now she treats Meng Yiqiu in a simple, direct, and yet strange way.
To put it bluntly, I know how to treat people. I will use the same tactics against you as you like... We feel like old friends from the first sight, but we are close but not intimate. This is real skill.
…………
Meng Yiqiu was really worried that Tang Shiyue would stand him up, but Tang Shiyue came in person the next morning.
Meng Yiqiu was wearing an almost new bamboo-patterned cotton robe. He stood at the door with his hands folded and a resentful look on his face to greet her. He was much better than the peacock with its tail spread out yesterday.
Tang Shiyue smiled and said, "Mr. Meng looks much more pleasing to the eye when he is dressed like this."
"You're too kind." Meng Yiqiu sighed, "I really didn't know your neighbors were so welcoming, and Mr. Tang was so disloyal."
Tang Shiyue ignored the slightly ambiguous words he said later: "You are wearing so much gold and glittering clothes, isn't it just to cause such a sensation? If they are not enthusiastic, won't you feel disappointed?"
Meng Yiqiu was extremely speechless: "No! No!" He is not that boring!
She said, "Then what are you doing for?"
After she finished speaking, her expression suddenly froze, and then she slowly turned her head and looked him up and down with a strange expression, and those eyes simply told a thousand words...
"Is it a beauty trap?"
"If it's not directed at the villagers, then is it directed at me?
"I didn't expect you to be this kind of Meng family!"
"Could it be that the Meng family's business was all negotiated through this?"
Then Tang Shiyue quickly distanced herself from him.
Reading her eye language, Young Master Meng was about to get angry and said, "No! Put away your nonsense!"
"Okay." Tang Shiyue waved her hand: "Tell me how you want to cooperate."
Meng Yiqiu took a long breath.
He felt that during these two brief meetings, Tang Shiyue had been firmly in control of the pace of the conversation, and whether she did it intentionally or unintentionally, he had no intention of continuing.
So he opened the fan as usual and waved it twice, revealing a harmless smile... Usually, when this smile came out, no matter whether the other person was a man or a woman, old or young, they would involuntarily relax with him and smile.
Then he saw that Tang Shiyue "calmly" moved away another half a foot.
Meng Yiqiu: "..."
If he were to do anything else, it would be too obvious, so he could only pretend he hadn't noticed and continued with a smile: "The advantage of Yuefang's woolen sweaters is mainly that they are novel, but it's not necessarily true that they are that good..."
Tang Shiyue listened quietly.
People who are good-looking enough are often spoiled by the whole world. They can get a lot with just a smile, and there is no need to do anything else. It's okay if it happens once, but what if it happens ten times, a hundred times, or a thousand times? Even the smartest people will relax.
Therefore, she only needs to disrupt his rhythm a little to make them lose their composure and sense of superiority, making it easier for her to take the initiative.
In fact, no matter how nice Meng Yiqiu's words sounded, his meaning was very simple. He wanted to pay a sum of money to buy out their wool and "technology", and then their Meng family would have a workshop and embroiderers, and they would produce and sell their own goods.
It’s a nice thought.
Tang Shiyue supported her chin with one hand and listened with a half-smile.
Meng Yiqiu was unable to continue speaking.
Although this is how business talks work, of course he would ask for a sky-high price and the other party could just sit back and pay him back, but her "are you f**king kidding me" expression made him inexplicably a little scared, and he was really afraid that she would just walk away in the middle of his talk.
So Meng Yiqiu asked, "Miss Tang, do you have anything to say?"
Tang Shiyue smiled and said, "Excuse me for being blunt, but from your words, I only heard the word 'sweet talk'. No... not a single word of value. You have no sincerity and no insight. You are just trying to coax a child. If you really think this way, I think there is no need to waste time talking to you. I regret coming here in such a cold weather."
She patted her clothes and stood up.
