Chapter 079: Suspicion
As one of the four major restaurants in the Great Xia Kingdom, Jade House is naturally full of friends and lively, but in the account room in its backyard, it is so quiet at this time that only the sound of flipping through books is there. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Qu Tianlin was looking through the account books of the Wenyuan Bookstore under the name of the Qu family at this time, and anyone could see that the handsome and innocent city lord's face was not very good, and even a little ugly.
Because the accounts in black and white are full of shocking losses.
Qu Tianlin closed the account book, and a pair of phoenix eyes fell on the shopkeeper of the various businesses in front of him and a relatively young man in the account room, and his tone was quite disappointed: "Zicheng, I remember that half a year ago, on the account book you sent to Linlang City, Wenyuan Bookstore made a lot of profits, why has this account not been profitable in the past three months?" This love will be a piece of jade that he accidentally discovered, Qu Tianlin intended to cultivate him as his cronies, so he promoted him to a twenty-five or six-year-old as the shopkeeper, and handed over the bookstore he liked quite fond of to him.
The bookstore shopkeeper who was named blushed for a while, knowing that he had failed Qu Tianlin's cultivation and did not dare to quibble. He sighed and told the reason for the loss of the bookstore: "City Lord, originally our Wenyuan Bookstore has always been with the Biqu Zhai well water does not interfere with the river water, and just three months ago, after suddenly opening a new branch opposite the Wenyuan Bookstore, we focused on robbing the bookstore's business, and even hired the scholar Xiucai who wrote the book's books with a lot of money, which made the bookstore's business plummet. ā
Qu Tianlin's heart shook, and it was a fun meal again!
I don't know why, he always has a bad premonition?
"Zicheng, you will close the bookstore after today." As soon as Qu Tianlin's words came out, everyone was in an uproar, but because of Qu Tianlin's usual prestige, no one in the shopkeeper dared to turn his head and ears.
The showcase named Zicheng not only felt ashamed when he heard that Qu Tianlin was going to close the bookstore. But Qu Tianlin's next words made him grateful: "During this time, I will send someone over to run the bookstore with you, but before that, you will clear out the people who have different intentions in the bookstore, and I will hire another group of reliable people to fill the bookstore." ā
"The city lord can rest assured, Zicheng will definitely come over with a new partner and clean up those who have different intentions in the bookstore."
After checking the account books, Qu Tianlin asked the showcases and bookkeepers of each firm to go back.
The doors and windows were closed, and he summoned the secret guard Qingfeng who had been hiding in the shadows.
He instructed Qingfeng: "Quickly send me the situation about Biquzhai and Qixinglou." ā
Waiting for Qingfeng to leave, Xuanlin asked Qu Tianlin: "Third brother, there is indeed a problem with Biquzhai, but why did you let Qingfeng also investigate Qixinglou?" ā
Qu Tianlin's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at the account book of Wenyuan Bookstore in his hand again and said: "Last night, I printed the picture book of me and Mo'er being chased by the support group into a book, and Qixinglou exclusively asked people to tell the story, if there is no relationship between them, it is impossible." ā
Within half an hour, Qu Tianlin had a document in his hand.
The more he looked, the deeper his brows furrowed.
In that information, there is indeed a cooperative relationship with Qixinglou, but the owner behind them is not the same person, but a friend.
It's weird, it's weird.
With Qu Tianlin's many years of experience in business, there is definitely one of the largest owners behind this and Qixinglou.
A person may be able to change his appearance, but his way of thinking cannot be divided into two, Qu Tianlin can see from the business model of these two shops that it is definitely one person who makes decisions.
"Xuan Lin, before returning to the General's Mansion later, let's go around the Seven Star Tower!" Qu Tianlin said.
"You know I'm a woman, I must be shocked." Mo'er asked Crystal with a smile.
Crystal looked at her with a complicated expression, and said in a rather shocked tone, "It's a big start." Not only was she startled, her whole body was as stiff as a statue, and she couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.
She finally developed a liking for someone other than that person, but she didn't expect that it was a woman dressed as a man, and the crystal was about to collapse.
Seeing her again, Crystal recognized her at a glance.
She had imagined countless times that she would meet her again, and she would be angry and deceived into asking her to ask her for guilt? Or pretend not to know her? Or did she not recognize her at all?
But in fact, the other crystal herself didn't expect that she would recognize her by just one figure in the crowd, and she would be angry because she was bullied and wanted to stand up for her.
A voice in her heart told her that even if Fang Mo was a woman, she was different from others to her after all, and she regarded her as a close friend.
"Mo'er, your real name shouldn't be Fang Miao, maybe you're not Gu Man's distant cousin at all." Crystal asked Mo'er.
Mo'er wasn't surprised at all that Crystal saw through her identity, and she blinked: "Then can you guess who I am?" ā
Crystal fell into deep thought, but she quickly had an answer: "If I guessed correctly, you are the main owner Dongfang Mo that they discussed dealing with today." ā
A praising smile rose at the corner of Mo'er's mouth, which was a guess of the default crystal.
But after getting her affirmative answer, Crystal's face was filled with doubt.
If Fang Mo is Dongfang Mo, then Yuntian is Qu Tianlin.
But why, the Yun Tian she knew was very far from Qu Tianlin, who she had a relationship with in the emperor a few years ago.
Yuntian is a person with a simple mind and a child, but Qu Tianlin is the dragon and phoenix among people, the lover of all women's dreams.
Mo'er also saw what the crystal had guessed, she took the crystal's hand, and there was a little more subtle request in her tone: "This matter is the biggest secret of the Qu family, and I only learned about it after I got married." Crystal, can you keep it a secret for me? ā
Crystal looked at Mo'er with a pair of apricot eyes, she knew that this promise was important to Mo'er, not only did she promise with a serious expression: "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else." ā
"Crystal, thank you."
"We're friends, what's there to say thanks."
"Yes, friend." Mo'er smiled brightly.
In Mo'er's previous life, there was a proverb that said that the fragrance of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley, and the place where Crystal took her to taste the food was a small shop hidden in the depths of the alley.
The plaque on the door was higher than the word "delicacies" written in gold ink.
The gold ink is produced in Wollongong, Shudi, which is made of a unique local Yaojin ink stone and mountain spring water boiled and melted, and is specially used by the royal family.
The biggest feature of this ink is that the words written will be blurred with a faint gold edge. If it is placed under the sun or moonlight, the gold edge of the handwriting will also glow with golden streamers, hence the name gold ink.
Walking into the store, Mo'er found that the decoration style of the store was similar to that of the Jade Treasure Pavilion.
Crystal smiled and asked Mo'er, "Do you see that?" ā
Mo'er nodded: "This delicacies hall should be another jade treasure hall opened by the Duke of Ming in the imperial capital." ā
