Chapter 17: Negotiation and Cooperation

"Miss Qingge, I finally see you. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info" Peng Yue saw Qiu Qingge and hurriedly walked over.

Qingge was taken aback by Peng Yue's sudden enthusiasm, and hurriedly took two steps back: "Master Peng, what's the matter?" ā€

Peng Yue also realized his gaffe: "Miss Qingge forgive your sins, I've been waiting for you in this restaurant for a few days." You were here the other day, but you haven't been here in a long time. I remember the last time I said I wanted to return the money to you, and you agreed, but then it disappeared, and I have nowhere to return the money. I finally saw you today, so I was a little emotional, just now... It's rude. As he spoke, he made a gesture to Qiu Qingge.

Qiu Qingge listened, his eyes were full of surprise, and he was a little moved: "Master Lao is bothered." He lowered his hands and bent his knees to return the salute to Peng Yue.

"I went back to my hometown in the northwest a few days ago and didn't stay in the capital, so..."Qiu Qingge explained to Peng Yue in a low voice.

"It's okay, it's good that the girl can come. Qingge girl, sit down and talk. Peng Yue made a gesture of invitation, and he sat down with it.

But he said that in the contact with Qiu Qingge these days, I don't know why, Qiu Qingge is more polite to himself, and he is no longer as lively and active as when he first saw him, a "girl", and even sometimes blushes when he talks to himself, looking ashamed.

"Miss Qingge, this restaurant has been open for so long, and it has already earned a lot of silver, and the principal has been earned back a long time ago, and I am now thinking about expansion. Now another new restaurant has been built, and I have put up road signs on all the streets, which has a good publicity effect and can expand the effect. Peng Yue's eyebrows fluttered.

Although Qiu Qingge didn't know what the road signs were, when he saw some signs nailed to the walls, with arrows drawn on them, and "Qingling Restaurant" written on them, he already understood a little in his heart: "Master Peng has worked hard." ā€

"It's not hard... It's not hard..."Peng Yue said with a smile, thinking that it was naturally not hard to make so much money, "Miss Qingge, I mainly want to return the silver to you today..."

Peng Yue said as he put a stack of silver tickets in front of Qiu Qingge, "Miss Qingge, this is the money that was returned to you, and there is interest in it..."

"Yo... Master Peng has really made a lot of money, I'm afraid this interest is a lot more than normal, right? Qiu Qingge looked at the stack of silver tickets on the table and said with a smile.

"Where, where should I thank the girl..."Peng Yue pushed the silver ticket to Qiu Qingge, "Now I am not short of money, and I plan to take out most of my family wealth to invest in Caoyun." ā€

"Huh? Adults want to invest in Caoyun? Qiu Qingge's expression was a little surprised, but he quickly returned to normal, "Yes, my lord is a court official, and it is not difficult to invest in Caoyun..."

Peng Yue saw that Qiu Qingge's expression was a little strange, and his tone was slightly mocking, and he couldn't help but be a little strange, "What, does the girl have an opinion on my investment in Caoyun?" ā€

"Caoyun has always been a patent of the imperial court, but the adult is an official of the imperial court, and it is indeed not impossible to use his position to do this Caoyun business, and the little woman is here to wish the adult a lot of money." Qiu Qingge said as he grabbed the silver ticket on the table.

"The girl misunderstood..."Peng Yue realized that it was Qiu Qingge who thought that he was using his position for personal gain, so he showed disdain, so Peng Yue introduced his idea of investing money in water transportation to Qiu Qingge in detail.

"The emperor has agreed to these things, and he also said that my method is very good, and he has agreed to implement it." Peng Yue said with some pride.

"Adults are really superhuman, and they can come up with such a wonderful way, which not only increases taxes, but also curbs corruption, which is really a move for the benefit of the country and the people." Qiu Qingge said, with some admiration in his eyes.

"Huh... Miss Qingge has won the prize. Although Peng Yue said this, his heart was indeed beautiful.

"But I don't know where the money for this investment in Caoyun came from? As far as I know, it takes a lot of money to invest in Caoyun, and I'm afraid it's not enough to make money from adults and opening restaurants, right? Qiu Qingge put on a straight face again.

"Ah..." Peng Yue is really embarrassed to say, because since he was promoted to the ministry, especially after the emperor gradually valued himself, many officials took a fancy to their political future, wanted to win over or tie themselves up, and gave themselves a lot of financial gifts in private. I can't refuse them all, because I don't have a foundation like Zhang Xuan and Xia Yan now, and I don't want to establish an image that is so honest that it is unapproachable in the eyes of everyone, so I selectively accepted many gifts. And the money I want to invest in Caoyun is this part of the money.

"Oh... I actually forgot about this, I really don't have enough funds here..."Peng Yue patted his head as if he suddenly realized, "I thought that with the money I saved, it should be enough, but now that I think about it, it is really not enough!" Peng Yue is indeed not stupid enough to say that he accepted money from others just because the other party is an ordinary woman.

"Lord Peng really doesn't have so much silver to invest in Caoyun?" Qiu Qingge asked softly. Just now, I thought that Peng Yue took advantage of his position to seek personal gain, embezzlement and bribery, and when I thought that Peng Yue had to borrow money from himself in order to open a restaurant to make a living, I couldn't help but feel that the gap between them was too great, and I also had a sense of disgust for the "good official" in front of me, who was originally very optimistic, and felt that he had fallen too quickly and became an "ordinary official". But now it seems that he completely misunderstood, and he can't help but feel a little embarrassed, and his tone has softened.

"Yes, it's a pity that I'm still not familiar with all this, and I don't really understand Caoyun..."

"If Lord Peng needs it, the little girl can lend it to the adults more..."Qiu Qingge said as he blushed and pushed over the stack of silver tickets that had been collected.

"So thank you girl..."Peng Yue couldn't help but be happy when he saw Qiu Qingge say this. Originally, he was still worried about how to get this matter over, but now Qiu Qingge said this, just to relieve his siege. Originally, the wealth I received was not too much, but in fact, most of them were sent back in the form of gifts, and I was afraid that the money would not be enough. As a result, now that Qiu Qingge said this, he could not only invest his money in Caoyun openly, but also have more sufficient funds, and maybe by the way, he could also use the help of Qiu Qingge's father.

"It's okay..."Qiu Qingge stroked the bun in his ear embarrassedly, "Actually, I also want to make more money, my father is far away in the northwest, and I don't want to ask my father for money." Master Peng's business is... It's definitely going to make money, so I thought..."

"Haha... So that's the case..."Although Peng Yue smiled, he muttered in his heart: he originally wanted to use her to ask his father for help, but he didn't expect her to get rid of his father's help. However, when he thought of the money that Qiu Qingge lent him to open a restaurant before, he naturally couldn't be ungrateful now.

"Don't worry, girl, the emperor has promoted me to be the head of the household and is in charge of this matter, so if we invest our money in it, we will definitely not lose." Peng Yue patted his chest and reassured.

"Ahh It turned out that the adult was promoted again, and the little woman congratulated the adult on the joy of promotion. Qiu Qingge toasted Peng Yue with a glass of wine, "At the beginning, I said that adults must have a bright future, and it must be good." Qiu Qingge's face flushed, and he couldn't tell whether it was shame or drunkenness.

Peng Yue couldn't help but be happy when he heard Qiu Qingge's praise, "As long as the girl is willing, then the girl can be in charge of this investment in Caoyun in the future." Peng Yue generously knocked on the stack of silver tickets on the table as he spoke.

"Ahh The little girl can't do it..."Qiu Qingge blushed and waved his hand, "But I can still learn slowly..."

"Well... Okay..."Peng Yue smiled awkwardly, he didn't expect that a businessman and his family might not necessarily do business, it seems that this business still has to find someone else to help take care of it, just like opening this restaurant, it is impossible to expect Ziling to do it.

"Miss Qingge, then it's still like this restaurant, this business of investing in water transportation is still sent to you and your sister, after all, I am a court official, if it is known to others, I am afraid it will not be good." Peng Yue licked his lips a little embarrassed.

"Hmm... It's so good..."Qiu Qingge said softly, "As for business, I'll learn it slowly, I'm about it... I'm still interested..."

"There's no hurry about this..."Peng Yue didn't expect Qiu Qingge to help him take care of his business now, "Miss Qingge, the new cuisine I mentioned last time, I guess you haven't tasted it yet." Why don't you go to the humble house today, meet your sister by the way, and discuss cooperation, haha..."

"Master Peng invited me again, how is this good?" Qiu Qingge said in his heart, pretending to wipe his sweat with a handkerchief, but he saw that Peng Yue only cared about drinking, but he didn't notice his hesitation. "Presumably Peng Gongzi just wants to discuss cooperation, why not." Qiu Qingge persuaded himself in his heart, "Besides, Lord Peng..." Qiu Qingge was ashamed and stopped thinking about it. "Then Master Peng, let's go now."
