Chapter 56: A New Intention
Cheng Susu saw that his face was cloudy and uncertain, and he didn't speak for a long time, thinking that Qin Lu was still worried about Ma Wenzhong's affairs, and comforted him: "Don't worry, Ma Wenzhong is just a clown who jumps off the beam, relying on the Yunlai Chamber of Commerce to be powerful here, with me, he doesn't dare to do anything to you!"
"What is the Yunlai Chamber of Commerce?" Qin Baozhen couldn't help but ask, "How can they be like this, forcibly buying other people's secret recipes, aren't they afraid of reporting to the official?"
"It's really hard to say, the Yunlai Chamber of Commerce has a lot of origins, there are thousands of shops in Chang'an City, and nearly half of the stores are under their control, especially Zhou Tianxing, the head of the Chamber of Commerce, I heard that he has something to do with the eldest grandson Wuji, and he is not a small person......
Cheng Xiaoxiao told Qin Lu about the information he knew, and at the end, he patted him on the shoulder and said: "But you don't have to be nervous, although Zhou Tianxing has some energy, but the Tang Dynasty Mansion is not an easy role to deal with, if you are in a hurry, you will be beaten, even if the eldest grandson Wuji comes, you are not afraid!"
"It's okay, I'm not worried about him......" Qin Lu smiled, "Speaking of which, thanks to your help today, otherwise the secret recipe of the perfume would really not be able to be kept!"
"It's okay, even if it's the perfume payment!"
Cheng Xiaozhi raised her head triumphantly, "Don't worry, with us, I guarantee that that idiot will never dare to enter your store again, hum!
Qin Lu naturally wouldn't take her words seriously, the two of them had their own jobs, and it was impossible to stay in his shop all day without going out. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info But after such a fuss today, Ma Wenzhong should not appear again in the short term, and he won't be too concerned.
It takes strength!
For the first time, Qin Lu had a thirst for power, but he was just a small leader in the Chamber of Commerce, and he dared to rob his secret recipe in front of the public. There is such a precedent in the past, needless to say, the liquor business has already been stillborn, who knows if when he gets the distilled liquor out, there will be another Wang Wenzhong, Li Wenzhong and the like come out.
The two stayed for a while, and finally left the shop for official reasons. After they left, Qin Lu didn't have the heart to continue to operate, so he cleaned up the somewhat messy shop a little, and took Qin Baozhen and the others back to the old mansion.
The flower demon sisters were cleaning at home, Qin Lu was not meddling in housework, while Qin Baozhen was preparing lunch, he went to the study alone, sat on a chair and thought carefully about the day's affairs.
Innocent, this is the first label Qin Lu gave herself.
A lot of things have happened since crossing here, but whether it is Mr. Wu, or setting up a stall in the wilderness of Jiangnan, or even opening a shop to sell desserts, it has developed smoothly.
Qin Lu subconsciously linked this place with his previous life. I think that with my experience and knowledge that is far beyond this world, I should be able to succeed easily.
But he forgot a very important thing, that not everyone in this world is created equal. The aristocratic class, high-ranking warriors, and officials and masters, the status of these people is far higher than their own, and against them, their chances of winning are very small.
Just like Ma Wenzhong, strictly speaking, he is also a businessman and belongs to the lower class, but with the identity of a high-level martial artist, he can't cope with it.
This sense of powerlessness made Qin Lu very annoying, and he hoped that he could control his own destiny instead of being a poor person with guilt.
However, if you look at it optimistically, Ma Wenzhong's actions also illustrate the potential value of perfume from the side. It's nonsense to say that I was instructed by Mr. Zhou or something, and the perfume has just been on the market for a few days, and Kankan has just made a name for itself in Jianye City, and it will not spread to Chang'an City so quickly anyway. Qin Lu is eighty percent sure that this person is a fox and a fake tiger.
It should be passing by here, accidentally discovering the existence of perfume, and seeing that he is a small shopkeeper with no power, he took the risk to snatch it!
After figuring out Ma Wenzhong's actions, Qin Lu's desire for power uncontrollably appeared in his heart.
If there was such terrifying strength as Cheng Susu, he believed that today's events would never have come to such a dangerous point.
Just imagine, if it weren't for the two of them just eating dessert in the backyard, Ma Wenzhong would almost have succeeded. A hundred-level martial artist, and a high-level ghost general, Qin Lu was unable to deal with it at all.
"I need to find a backer! a thick thigh hug that can't be thicker!"
Qin Lu's eyes flashed with an inexplicable brilliance. He thought of Cheng Susu. But soon, the idea was abandoned.
After knowing each other for so long, Qin Lu had heard the two of them talk about themselves, and knew that they were only staying in Jianye City temporarily, and they would not stay for a long time. It's okay to say now that when the two return to Chang'an, they will still fall into a very embarrassing situation.
That's right...... Changan?!
A flash of lightning flashed in his mind, and Qin Lu suddenly remembered what Cheng Susu had said to him before.
"There is news from Chang'an City, saying that after a while, the fifteen sects are ready to openly recruit new people......
Fifteen Sects Recruit New ......
This, isn't this a god-given backer!
If you say who has the thickest thighs in the world. Qin Lu may choose King Tang, but in addition, the existence of the fifteen sects is also a force that should not be underestimated.
In the world of the Tang Dynasty, all the warriors who walk in the rivers and lakes are no more than these fifteen places. There are few exceptions. You must know that the population of the three clans combined is not thousands, and even if those who are not qualified enough are excluded, the number of disciples of each sect has reached a very exaggerated level.
With such a large number base, the power of the fifteen sects can be imagined. As a powerless and powerless citizen, once he enters such an organization, Qin Lu is equivalent to having a natural backer. At that time, even if someone like Ma Wenzhong wants to snatch his own things, he has to weigh whether he has the ability.
"As a result, I went around in a big circle, and I still have to go through the process of leveling up in Jianye City and apprenticeship in Chang'an......"
Thinking of this, Qin Lu also smiled a little bitterly. I thought that when I came here, I could hide in Jianye City and be a small citizen, but I never thought that fate was so magical, the more you didn't want to do it, the more it leaned you up.
Qin Lu only felt like he was playing an extremely realistic VR version of Fantasy Journey to the West, first doing novice tasks in Jianye City, and now he has finally reached enough levels to go to Chang'an and change careers......
The point is, in this world where everything comes with some subtle gaps, can it still be as easy to get started as in the game?
Qin Lu was deeply skeptical of this......
