Chapter 710 The Reception at Kelaiju
Pang Zhao quickly completed the handover and left Yunhe County.
However, there was still no news about Xie Xing's promotion or the new county magistrate.
This has led many to speculate about what the imperial court intends to do.
Wan Qiqi, however, felt that no news was also good news.
Xie Xing will not act rashly until he receives the official promotion document.
Even the smallest actions can affect promotion.
This is very advantageous for Wan Qiqi.
Xie Xing made no move; the only family he needed to be wary of was the Tang family.
Taking advantage of this gap, Wan Qiqi can also properly plan her next steps and find a reliable ally!
Relying solely on one's own strength to fight against the alliance of the Xie and Tang families is somewhat weak and inadequate.
According to Chen Yongnian's investigation, Feng Gan was controlled by his family and did not participate in either side, choosing to protect himself.
This means that he has lost someone who caused trouble for Tang Qiwen!
Although he was on good terms with Zhou Wanting, Zhou Wanxiang was about to marry Xie Xing. Since the two families were on good terms, if he tried to persuade Zhou Wanting to join him, it would put Zhou Wanting in a dilemma.
Wan Qiqi decided not to pursue the Zhou family line.
If Wan Qiqi wanted to be honest, the Tao family was the best choice if she wanted to be on par with the Tang family.
However, Tao Ran is a scholar, and it is inappropriate for him to get involved in this controversy.
I've already troubled Tao Ran enough by asking for his help, so it would seem unreasonable for me to make further requests!
Wan Qiqi went through everyone she knew, but found she couldn't find a suitable ally.
This family doesn't want to involve them, that family doesn't agree...
She suddenly realized that although she seemed to be on good terms with many people, there were almost none who could truly be her allies against Xie Xing!
Actually, there are exceptions, such as Xiao Huai...
Wan Qiqi felt that although this person loved to join in the fun and was unpredictable, he was indeed a reliable person.
People are afraid of him because he is emotionally unstable.
Sometimes you don't even know how you offended them, and you've already been beaten up!
Wan Qiqi, however, felt that Xiao Huai's personality was unpredictable.
In fact, within Yunhe County, the only family Xie Xing should be wary of is the Xiao family.
At the same time, the Xiao family should be the aristocratic family that Xie Xing most wants to win over.
After Wan Qiqi finished, she felt that she had a clear goal!
But you can't actively seek out Xiao Huai, otherwise he'll easily take advantage of you.
Moreover, she believed that Xie Xing could not be won over in a short time.
If the Xiao family were really so easy to win over, why would they remain neutral and indifferent to worldly affairs?
While Wan Qiqi was still making plans, she discovered something even more important.
Chen Yongnian lacks self-confidence!
In fact, Chen Yongnian can do everything well now, but he always doubts his own abilities.
Wan Qiqi decided to take Chen Yongnian for a walk so that he could discover his own strengths.
When Fang Ziming was imprisoned, Aji came to see him to discuss cooperation.
Now that the beverage shop has opened, it's a bit unreasonable that I haven't helped Aji yet.
So, Wan Qiqi took Chen Yongnian straight to Kelaiju.
Several waiters stood at the entrance of Kelaike, greeting customers.
Despite their efforts to attract customers, few pedestrians actually went inside.
After a while, the waiters became somewhat disappointed.
Then, they saw a man and a woman coming towards the restaurant and immediately went to greet them.
"Please come in, gentlemen. Our restaurant's grape wine is unique to Yunhe County. We guarantee you'll want to keep trying it!"
The waiter had barely finished speaking when the couple stopped.
"What do you think is wrong with what he said?" Wan Qiqi turned her head to look at Chen Yongnian.
Chen Yongnian was taken aback, then said, "Nothing new!"
The waiter looked slightly confused after listening to their conversation.
For a moment, he suspected that the two men had come to cause trouble.
But seeing that the two were well-dressed and had extraordinary bearing, he feared they might be young masters or ladies from some noble family, and dared not offend them easily.
The waiter asked with a smile, "Miss, what brings you here?"
Wan Qiqi glanced at the waiter and said with a smile, "It's alright, let's go! I'd like a private seat with a view of the lobby on the first floor!"
"Okay!" The waiter led Wan Qiqi inside.
"I heard that you have exotic performances here? Can we see them?" Wan Qiqi asked.
"Exotic displays only occur at specific times of the year; they don't happen on ordinary days!" the waiter replied.
Wan Qiqi frowned and turned to Chen Yongnian, "Husband, we've come all this way just to see a performance from a foreign land, what are we going to do?"
Chen Yongnian was stunned by Wan Qiqi's performance.
He immediately realized that his wife was doing it on purpose, probably to test the waiter, and said, "How about we go somewhere else? I've heard that the food and drinks at Xinglong Restaurant are quite good."
The waiter, sensing that the two seemed to want to leave, immediately said, "Esteemed guests, although we don't usually have exotic performances, we do have some. You can sit upstairs and wait quietly."
"It's not like it's an exotic performance, what's so interesting about it?" Wan Qiqi said with displeasure.
"It's great! These performances may not be as good as those from foreign countries, but they're still quite good!" the waiter quickly replied.
Seeing that the two were still hesitating, he said, "Sirs, let me take you upstairs to sit down first. You can ask me any questions you may have. Is that alright?"
“Alright!” Chen Yongnian replied.
The waiter wiped his sweat and led the two upstairs.
Next, Wan Qiqi and Chen Yongnian almost constantly nitpicked, making the waiter sweat profusely.
When he came down from the second floor, his legs were weak.
Once back in the backyard, he grabbed the others and said, "My God! That was close! A couple came in and made all sorts of demands. I was going crazy!"
"What couple? Why are you coming here to nitpick?"
