Chapter 24 Don't dare to climb high
Song Lingyue showed the news in front of the Zhao Mansion the next day on the front page of the newspaper, the newspaper almost exhausted the words to praise her appearance, and praised her for both talent and appearance, she is an out-and-out beauty and talent, and she has established her title of the first lady in Kyoto, and for a while, she has become a hot person.
That night, Song Lingyue only arrived at Jin Kaimen, and received several invitations inviting her to the banquet, not in the name of inviting Nicholas Chen, but directly inviting her, Song Lingyue According to Song Lang's suggestion, those who should go to participate have replied to a few posts, and since then, Song Lingyue has officially entered the upper class society and has become a veritable celebrity.
Early this morning, the sun was sunny and there was no wind, Song Lingyue had nothing to do, and took Rong's mother to walk around the street, thinking about whether to get a shop and run a small business.
After going around for a long time, I also asked a few shops, I didn't know, I was shocked when I asked, the price of shops in Kyoto is ridiculously expensive, no wonder so many people can't afford to run a business, so they can only set up stalls on the street.
Song Lingyue originally wanted to rent a shop and run some cloth business, and she didn't need to come forward, just invite a few guys, she only ran the command in the back, and she could make full use of the time, but she didn't expect this idea to be scared back by the price of the shop.
She looks like she has earned a lot of money in Jinkaimen, but what actually falls in her hands has been reduced by two or three percent, plus the expenses on weekdays, she wants to decorate the faΓ§ade, there are big sums of money everywhere, and there is not much she really saves, but the gifts she receives don't need to be tapped, just exchange things for money, which is no longer something her identity can do, and Nicholas Chen will not allow it.
Although the money on hand is enough to rent a shop, you can buy fabrics, recruit guys, and make points up and down, so that it is a little stretched, and you can't run a business because of a shortage of money.
The matter of the shop was temporarily stopped, Song Lingyue simply took Rong's mother to buy things, there was not much tea at home, Song Lingyue loved to drink black tea in winter, Qimen black tea was indispensable, and the two went to the tea shop.
As soon as Song Lingyue said to buy black tea, the owner of the tea shop shook his head and said worriedly: "This black tea has been broken for some days, a few months ago, there was a flood in Wuhu, and in the next few months, the warlords fought there again, there was turmoil, the transportation was broken, and the things over there could not come. β
Song Lingyue couldn't help but speak, "So expensive?" It's almost time to catch up with imported coffee. β
"That's not it, scarcity is expensive, even if you have money right now, you can't buy it." The owner of the tea shop sighed, took out a cloisonne porcelain jar, and handed it to Song Lingyue, "Look at this tea, Jing'an white tea, Baihao silver needle, the tea soup is clear, and it is also a good tea." β
Song Lingyue didn't know much about white tea, but the boss recommended it, and she wanted to buy tea left and right, so she took a can, paid for the tea, and took Rong's mother out of the tea shop.
The two had lunch outside, and Song Lingyue took Rong's mother to the clothing store and made two sets of clothes for her.
When I arrived at Jinkaimen in the evening, Nicholas Chen, who hadn't shown up for two days, actually came, asked a few friends to talk about things in the box, and specially asked people to call Song Lingyue over.
As soon as Song Lingyue entered, everyone got up one after another, and some even learned foreign ways and kissed the back of Song Lingyue's hand, Song Lingyue drank a glass of wine with everyone, and sat down obediently beside Chen Tingfeng, Chen Tingfeng was not guarded against Song Lingyue, and continued to listen to them.
"Myanmar's goods to the inland, take a military vehicle from southern Anhui, along the way, can save a lot of things, the most important thing, can save tariffs, goods packaged, low into high sales, this is how the money comes."
"That's not it, the military vehicle crosses the border, even if there is turmoil, no one dares to investigate, and there is Commander Chen's people to escort it, it can be said to be foolproof."
Chen Tingfeng didn't interject, just listened to them, nodded occasionally, and counted as a response, Song Lingyue also listened to it, and roughly understood the doorway here.
I didn't expect that Chen Tingfeng already had such a big power, and the military vehicle could go all the way from south to north.
After a bottle of wine, several people talked about the matter, and dispersed from the box, and Nicholas Chen also left Jin Kaimen with Song Lingyue in his arms.
Song Lingyue had been thinking about it for a long time in the box just now, Chen Tingfeng's military vehicle came from southern Anhui, if she could bring a few trips of tea, her tea shop in Kyoto would change hands and sell it, and she would be able to make a lot of profits.
Sitting in the car, Chen Tingfeng began to close his eyes and recuperate, Song Lingyue kneaded his shoulders and opened his mouth tentatively, "Commander, I listened to a few words when you talked about things today, I want to ask you, is there still a place in your car?" β
Nicholas Chen's eyes opened a slit, stared at her, and said with a smile: "Others ask naturally no, if you ask, then there has always been, what, you also have a way to go?" β
Song Lingyue lowered her head, she was embarrassed to say that it was her own idea, so Nicholas Chen would definitely help her unconditionally, so she lied: "It's a friend of mine who wants to transport a batch of tea from southern Anhui, and it's not much, just a few dozen catties at a time." β
Chen Tingfeng snorted, moved his fingers, pondered in his heart for a while, and didn't ask much, only said: "What you want to transport is Qimen black tea, right?" The freight is not counted, the cost, there is almost none, your friend is doing a good business, taking a few trips a month, although he can't catch up with the private goods in Myanmar, he can also make a lot of money. β
Song Lingyue was curious, "Why do you say that there is no cost?" There is also a cost to collecting tea, right? β
Nicholas Chen waved his hand, "You don't understand this, do you?" Kyoto black tea is in demand, but the black tea in the south is unsalable, all smashed in the hands of tea farmers, now this situation, almost to give money to sell, this back and forth, dozens of times the earn, you say, is it a good business? β
"Then, why didn't the Commander go this way? Don't you look down on this little money? Song Lingyue asked.
Chen Tingfeng couldn't help pinching her delicate little chin, and there was a bit of pampering in his tone, "It's not that I don't look down on it, my military vehicle is a long-term business, so that it can continue, and in the name of transporting materials, a business like tea is only temporary, I can't lose a big one because of a small one, understand?" β
Song Lingyue was thorough at one point, and nodded, "I understand, is the commander going to help me?" β
Chen Tingfeng opened his eyes, a narrow smile flashed in his eyes, and he stretched out his finger and pointed to his cheek, "It depends on your performance, others want to give me a rich return gift." β
Song Lingyue blushed, pursed her lips, cautiously leaned over, kissed him on the cheek, and quickly dodged away, how could Nicholas Chen miss this opportunity, "rubbed" and leaned over, pressed Song Lingyue on the seat, and bowed his head to kiss.
Song Lingyue closed her lips tightly to avoid him, and Nicholas Chen didn't force it, kissed her lips and cheeks, and let go of her, but he was still reluctant to leave, his legs were against her side, straddled her, held her little face with his big hands, and pressed his forehead against her forehead, panting and saying affectionate words.
"You've been with me for so long, and you're very concerned about my affairs, I don't want to be so wronged by you anymore, don't torture me anymore, marry me, don't go dancing anymore, I'll build you a big house, you can be my woman with peace of mind, okay?"
Song Lingyue chuckled lightly and turned her head to avoid him, "Commander, do you want Jinwu to hide Jiaojiao, or do you want me to be Mrs. Chen?" Marrying a dancing girl as a wife, the commander is not afraid of being ridiculed? β
Chen Tingfeng let out a sigh of relief, got up and left her, sat back honestly, loosened his neckline, and said in a flat tone: "I have no plans to marry a wife, I am not stable in Kyoto, I don't have a wife, and it is also a bargaining chip to attract the powerful people in Kyoto to win over me." β
Song Lingyue leaned on the seat, pulled the skirt that was crumpled by him, and said: "Commander, I know my identity, I don't dare to climb high, but I also have a saying, I would rather die alone than be small, if you think I don't know how to lift, you can also strangle me." β
Nicholas Chen glanced up at her, a chill flashed on his cold face, and he quickly recovered, still lukewarm.
"Okay, if you don't marry, you won't marry, you don't need to be so Mingzhi, I won't force you, but I also have a word to tell you, if you dare to go behind my back and other men, don't blame me for not knowing how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, I, Nicholas Chen, am a person who cares about face, whether I marry or not, as long as you follow me, you have to be honest, naturally, I can't do without your good."
"Don't worry, Commander, I have no interest in any other man except Commander."
Nicholas Chen turned sideways, hooked her chin, and showed a satisfied look in his eyes, "I just like your well-behaved!" The military vehicle will leave the day after tomorrow, you give me an address tomorrow, and I will let them help your friend pull the goods on the way they pass, and I can't miss you. β
"Thank you, Commander!"
