Since it was already late at night, there were basically no guests entering the door, so Yihong stood in front of the counter and chatted for a while before going upstairs.

Qu Nian called Wang Xide over at this time and asked him to guard the store, and he went out with Chu Sandang and Bai Xiaoya.

Lingyang Province.

Although the night is already late, Lingyangjun is not sleepy, all he thinks about is Qu Nian's shop, after all, it is also his shop, people earn millions of taels of silver a year, and he can only get 10,000 taels a year, if he can convince himself to sleep peacefully, unless it is his own brain problem.

Although he is the younger brother of King Qi, he is not a rich man, after all, he has been busy cultivating all these years, but cultivation resources are by no means cheap, not to mention that in the first two years, because of the opening of the Moon Tower, he invested a lot of money and lost a lot of money, so no matter how solid his family foundation is, he will inevitably have crooked thoughts about the Qinglou of Qu Nian!

Of course, he himself didn't think it was a crooked idea, and took it for granted, because his store was deceived by Qu Nian, so he wanted to think of a decent reason to get this store back openly. Although he has only met Qu Nian once, he has already decided that this Qu Nian is very cunning, and he is by no means a good stubble, if he is not thoughtful enough, it is very likely that the mutton will not be eaten, and he will make a fuss.

Since Steward Mo can be in the position of a housekeeper, he naturally has some skills, it can be said that he is quick-witted, and he has come up with dozens of clever plans in one night's work, and every time he thinks of one, he runs over to report one to Lingyangjun, tirelessly, but unfortunately he was born at the wrong time, and he did not meet his bosom friend, and all his whimsical ideas were vetoed to Lingyangjun, without exception. Because his idea was so rancid, one of them turned out to be to kidnap Qu Nian and then force him to sign the transfer agreement!

Lingyangjun was still sitting in the study, and Steward Mo hurriedly ran over again, with a happy face, and said as soon as he entered the door: "Young master, I have thought of another good idea!"

When Ling Yangjun heard him say this for the first time, he was so excited that he jumped up from the chair, but now his face did not fluctuate at all, as if he heard him say: Young master, I thought of a bad idea again!

Lingyangjun said lazily: "What's the ...... Oh no, what's a good idea?"

But if it's a good idea, you have to say it mysteriously so that it sounds more effective. Steward Mo walked in front of Lingyang Jun at this time, across the desk, with a mysterious expression, stretched his neck and said, "Young Master, this time it must be a good idea!"

Lingyang Jun said: "You say!"

Steward Mo said, "Isn't the title deed still in your hands?"

Lingyang Jun said: "What's the use of that? I have already rented the house to Qu Nian, and the title deed should have been in my hands!"

Steward Mo said: "Linzi is our territory after all, we can find a relationship, do something on the title deed, and transfer the title deed to someone you can trust, just say that it has already been sold to him, and you are just a middleman, out of good intentions to rent the land to him, but now the owner of the land does not agree, it is a big deal to compensate a little loss fee to the prince of Qin Guo, so that you can get the land back!"

Lingyang Jun thought for a while and said, "Although the idea is good, I can't do this, who doesn't know that this restaurant is mine, so I have a relationship with the prince of Qin, what do you want the people of Qi to think of me?"

Steward Mo said: "Young master, this is millions of taels of silver a year!"

Ling Yangjun shook his head and said, "Compared to silver, face is more important!"

Steward Mo said in his heart, do you still know how to have a face? What kind of crooked idea do you want to have a face? I really want to be a bitch and want to set up a memorial arch!

As he was talking, someone from outside the door came to report: "My lord, the prince of Qin Guo Qu Nian asked to see your lord, saying that there is something important to discuss!"

Lingyangjun and Steward Mo looked at each other.

Lingyangjun blurted out: "What is he doing here?"

Although Steward Mo was quick-witted, his face also showed embarrassment, touched his beard, and said, "I can't figure it out!"

Lingyang Jun said loudly: "Please come over to the prince of Qin!"

There was an answer from outside the door, and he retreated.

After a while, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and the person who had been informed said: "My lord, the princes of Qin, Chu, and Zhongshan have arrived!"

Lingyang Jun said: "Please come in!"

Qu Nian and the three of them pushed the door in, strode forward, and said, "I've seen Lingyangjun!"

Ling Yangjun smiled, stretched out his hand and said, "You're welcome, please take a seat!"

Compared with the first meeting, his attitude is much more polite, and there is no arrogance, after all, the value of the family is here.

The three of them walked to the chairs on the side and sat down, Qu Nian sat in the first place, followed by Chu Sandang and Bai Xiaoya, and the housekeeper stood opposite them.

Lingyang Jun said: "I don't know what happened when Gongzi Qin visited late at night?"

Qu Nian said: "My store has a trial opening today, does Lingyang Jun know?"

Lingyang Jun said: "I have heard of it!"

Qu Nian said: "Do you know how much money I make today?"

Ling Yangjun didn't expect him to speak so simply and rudely, but he was slightly stunned and said, "I don't know!"

Qu Nian smiled: "Lingyang-jun is interested in knowing?"

Of course Lingyangjun was interested, otherwise he wouldn't have been planning this matter all night. Then he said: "I'm a little curious!"

Qu Nian said: "When I first came, I roughly calculated, excluding the girls' share, as well as the wages of the workers, I probably earned more than 16,000 taels today!"

Although Lingyangjun was already mentally prepared, he was still taken aback and said, "So much?"

Qu Nian waved his hand and said: "Not much, not much, today is just a trial operation, it has not officially opened, it will open tomorrow, it is estimated that it will make more, and the business of our store will only get better and better, it is well-known, it will soon be famous all over the world, all countries know, I don't know how many people will come to Linzi in the future, come to visit my small shop, annual income of 10 million taels, it is estimated that it is no longer a dream!"

Lingyang Jun's face was a little unsightly, he sneered, and said: "Qin Gongzi came late at night, just to show off to me? Is it here to laugh at me? Wangyue Tower is in my hands, and it has gone out of business, but in your hands, it is having a good time, is that what it means?"

Qu Nian smiled: "Am I so stupid in the eyes of Lingyang-jun? Running to mock Lingyang-jun, isn't it looking for death? I still want to leave here alive!"

Ling Yangjun's face was still cold, and he said, "You just didn't say it explicitly, but that's what you meant! Otherwise, why did you come to me in the middle of the night to tell me this?"

Qu Nian said: "I said this, just to make Lingyangjun interested in my small shop, just to pave the way, I can't hide it, I came this time to find Lingyangjun to cooperate, and send a cheap price to Lingyangjun!"

When Lingyang Jun heard him say that he was here to cooperate, his heart sank coldly, his brain was running rapidly, thinking about what he wanted to come to trick me again?

Qu Nian said: "Didn't I still owe you 200,000 taels of real estate money, and I promised to pay you back before the New Year, so I hope you will get rid of this real estate money, right?"

Not only Lingyang Jun, but even Steward Mo on the side changed his face, and said in his heart, could this prince of Qin State eat the bear's heart and leopard gall?

Ling Yangjun's face became more and more ugly, and he said coldly: "Before you say this, have you considered the consequences? You have made so much money, and you still want to rely on my real estate money, what am I?

Qu Nian smiled: "Don't worry, wait until I finish speaking! I said, I sent you a cheap to take advantage of, naturally it is a matter of words, as long as you are free of real estate money, then we are partners, the money earned in the sky, I am willing to share it with you equally, not a day, not a year, but a lifetime, do you say this cheap enough?"

Ling Yangjun and Steward Mo looked at each other, their faces were full of surprise, and they felt as if their ears had deceived them, which was really unbelievable.

Lingyangjun exclaimed: "What did you say?

Qu Nian nodded and said: "Yes, divide it equally, neither four or six, nor three or seven, but divide it equally, if the heavens and the world can earn five million taels a year, I will share two and a half million taels with you, and if I can earn ten million taels, I will share five million taels with you!"

Lingyangjun felt that his heartbeat was a little faster, and his head was a little confused, although what Qu Nian said was very simple, extremely simple, but he still recalled it repeatedly, because he couldn't believe that there was such a good thing in the world, as if he was hit by a big pie falling from the sky. After a long time of reflection, he said, "What are the additional conditions?"

Qu Nian said with a smile: "There are no conditions attached, as long as Lingyangjun agrees, we are partners!"

Ling Yangjun shook his head and said: "This is impossible, you are not related to me, and I haven't helped you in any way, not to mention that your Qinglou has already done a job, and you don't need me to contribute at all, how can you be so kind? Not to mention that we have only met once, if you are a woman, I can still understand, but unfortunately you are a man!"

Qu Nian smiled: "Lingyangjun is quite confident in himself! If I were a woman, I would fall in love with you at first sight?"

Lingyang Jun said: "That's not true, but at least the chances are a little higher than that of men!"

Qu Nian said: " Don't say dark words in front of the Ming people, the reason why I give up half of the shares is not because I like you, and I don't want to say those righteous and awe-inspiring words, in fact, I am reluctant in my heart, but there is no way, I am the proton of the Qin State, and I have no foundation in the Qi State, on the contrary, there is a group of people who hate me, if my store is tepid, I will not come to you, but there is no way, my store is now very popular, presumably many people can calculate how much money I can make a day, including you, so there must be a lot of people who are jealous of me, if a few troublemakers come every day, my store will not be able to open, so I want to find a backer, because we have cooperated once after all, so I thought of you first!"

Lingyang Jun was stunned: "You paid so much money just so that I could protect you?"

Qu Nian said: "It's not to protect me, it's to protect my store from harassment, so that I can do business in peace and stability, after all, this is Linzi, there are too many children of official eunuchs, and many things can't be solved by fists!"

Ling Yangjun felt that what he said was reasonable, just like the feeling he felt when he was first pitted, so he took off the shelf and said, "You think I will promise you?"

Qu Nian said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if Lingyangjun doesn't agree, I can go to someone else, Lingyangjun is not interested, I believe that there will be many people in Qi who are interested!"
