"Manager Xu, please come with us!"
The man blocked Xu Yuehuai's carriage, forcing her to get down and follow him to see her master.
Xu Yuehuai had been waiting for someone to come to her, so being blocked by someone was within her expectations.
Instead, the guards watching over Xu Yuehuai became nervous and immediately drew their swords to block Xu Yuehuai.
Xu Yuehuai calmly said to the guards, "I'll be right back. You can take the things from my carriage to East Street."
The guard said, "Miss! If something happens to you, how will we explain it to our master!"
Xu Yuehuai immediately gave the guards a look, signaling them to secretly follow him.
The guards immediately understood Xu Yuehuai's look and quickly responded.
"Okay! We'll deliver the things to East Street right now!"
After he finished speaking, the guard drove the carriage away.
After the guards left, Xu Yuehuai was also taken away by the people who had blocked their way.
The man led Xu Yuehuai into another carriage, which headed in the opposite direction.
Half an hour later, after wandering around the surrounding streets for a long time, they finally arrived at a mansion.
“My master is inside, Manager Xu, please go in yourself.”
Xu Yuehuai jumped down from the carriage, looked around, and then walked into the mansion.
Upon entering the mansion, I felt a chill in the air, there was no sound, and I didn't see anyone else.
Xu Yuehuai couldn't help but recall everything she had experienced in the county government office before; some of the decorations here were very similar to the layout of the county government office.
She couldn't help but wonder, could the owner here be the same as the owner at the county government office?
Just as Xu Yuehuai was walking towards the mansion, she suddenly heard footsteps around her.
"Manager Xu, I'm so sorry I didn't greet you properly!"
Upon hearing the voice, Xu Yuehuai quickly turned around and saw a young man.
The man wore a blue robe and a tall headdress, and held a bamboo folding fan in his hand.
A faint smile played on his lips, and his gaze was filled with laughter as he looked at people.
When Xu Yuehuai saw this man, she felt somewhat physically uncomfortable.
For some reason, Xu Yuehuai always felt that this person was like a smiling tiger.
"Did you send someone to bring me here? What is the purpose of bringing me here?"
Xu Yuehuai asked the man a question, but the man did not answer immediately. Instead, he walked towards Xu Yuehuai step by step.
They walked closer and closer until they were no more than half a foot apart. Then the man said to Xu Yuehuai, "I want to talk to you about cooperation."
“Your Tianxianglou branch here has been very popular with the locals recently, and I would like to cooperate with you.”
Xu Yuehuai naturally knew that this person was looking for her because of the Tianxianglou branch.
Even if this were just a semicolon, people would still be eyeing Tianxianglou's main branch every day.
Xu Yuehuai put a lot of thought into this branch, not only in terms of decoration, but also in the design of the dishes, which was simply ingenious.
The current success of Tianxianglou branch is entirely due to her meticulous planning.
She believed that it wasn't just the man in front of her who was watching the Tianxianglou branch; there were definitely many other people watching, both openly and secretly.
"You want to cooperate with me? Then you should at least show some sincerity."
"Who are you, and what assets do you possess?"
"What do you have to offer for cooperation? And why should I cooperate with you?"
Xu Yuehuai spoke to the man from the perspective of someone in a superior position.
The man pursed his lips, smiled faintly, shook the fan in his hand, and waved to the person behind him.
A short while later, a group of servants suddenly appeared, each carrying a large wooden box.
Xu Yuehuai looked at the wooden boxes, wondering what was inside.
"You don't need to look anymore. What's in here is enough for you to hand over the entire Tianxianglou branch to me."
"I'm showing it to you so you can pick out a few things from it."
After saying this, the man waved his hand, signaling the servants beside him to open all the wooden boxes.
As the wooden crates were opened one by one, what was revealed to Xu Yuehuai were chests of gold and silver jewelry, as well as various rare medicinal herbs.
Some of those herbs looked to be over a hundred years old, and they were all extremely precious. If an ordinary family had even one of them, they would be rich. But this man had several large boxes of them.
After scanning the area, Xu Yuehuai had a general idea of what was going on. She looked away, her expression perfectly normal.
The man was somewhat surprised to see Xu Yuehuai like this.
If an ordinary person saw this, seeing him with so many treasures, they would probably be either jealous or envious.
However, Xu Yuehuai acted as if nothing had happened, as if she were looking at a pile of dirt.
The man became somewhat curious about Xu Yuehuai; she was truly an extraordinary woman!
What do you think of these things I have?
Is there anything you like?
Xu Yuehuai slowly shook her head and smiled faintly.
"They're just material possessions; they're of no use to me whatsoever."
Actually, Xu Yuehuai quite liked those medicinal herbs.
If we can get our hands on these medicinal herbs, they could probably become life-saving medicines.
The man wasn't angry when he heard Xu Yuehuai's words; instead, he waved his fan and smiled.
"What do you want? As long as you can name it, I can find it for you."
Xu Yuehuai did not answer, but instead asked the man a question.
Why do you insist on cooperating with my Tianxianglou branch?
Xu Yuehuai looked at the man in front of her and realized he didn't seem to be short of money. So why did he insist on cooperating with the Tianxianglou branch?
This is something Xu Yuehuai finds particularly hard to understand.
Upon hearing this, the man suddenly fell silent. He looked up at the distant sky, a hint of sadness seemingly flashing in his eyes.
"I just wanted to fulfill someone's long-cherished wish."
Xu Yuehuai was puzzled by the man's behavior.
The man wasn't after money, but she wanted to attract people who were after her money!
And then I ran into someone who was just trying to fulfill other people's wishes! What kind of situation is this?
"Since you're not in it for the money, then there's no need for us to cooperate."
"I want to work with greedy people so that my Tianxianglou branch can make more money."
"If you know someone like that, you could talk to them about it."
After saying that, Xu Yuehuai didn't stay any longer. She turned around, waved to the back of her, and started to leave.
Upon seeing this, the man hurriedly tried to stop Xu Yuehuai, but Xu Yuehuai continued speaking.
"No matter what, I will not agree to cooperate with you!"
