Chapter 116: I Don't Accept Your Gifts
Hearing that Li Mingyuan didn't accept the gift, Jia Youcai was stunned, Pang Xiude was stunned, and the surrounding few people were also stunned. They are very puzzled, why is there such a person, others take the initiative to give gifts but do not accept them?
Pang Xiude took a deep breath, then looked at the people around him, nodded thoughtfully, and said, "Shopkeeper Jia, I have something to say to Master Li, you take your people to avoid it!" ”
Pang Xiude's cold tone of rejecting people thousands of miles away made Jia Youcai quite unhappy, but he didn't dare to argue, and after saluting Li Mingyuan, he took a few guys out of the city dozens of meters away, which was brought by Pang Xiude, and quickly surrounded a small circle around the two of them, not letting others approach.
"Master Li, it's okay now. No one sees it, please accept this little gift from me! Pang Xiude laughed again. It turned out that he thought that Li Mingyuan couldn't pull down his face to receive gifts in front of so many people, so he was smart enough to create a good atmosphere. As everyone knows, Li Mingyuan never looks at the environment when he receives gifts, didn't he accept Jia Youcai's gift in front of everyone.
Seeing Pang Xiude so warmly invited, Li Mingyuan was really a little embarrassed. As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person with a smiling face, although he knows very well what Pang Xiude is, he is definitely a white-eyed wolf who doesn't recognize people. When you are in power, he will shake his head and tail around you like a dog, and if you are unlucky, he will be the first to jump out and bite you. Li Mingyuan, such a person, has always been respectful and far away, if he is offended, then he must find a way clearly, and he must not be given the opportunity to stab him in secret.
"Huge man, it's hard for me to do this! You better put away this gift! Li Mingyuan shook his head unmoved and said firmly.
Pang Xiude is also very knowledgeable, he knows that Li Mingyuan is serious this time, but he is afraid that this beam between the two of them has no way to be private.
"Since Master Li is so resolute, then I won't force it!" After Pang Xiude's face changed sharply, he finally held back his anger and said. He knew very well what it meant for Li Mingyuan not to accept gifts. According to the unspoken rules of officialdom, this means that there is no possibility of reconciliation between himself and Li Mingyuan, and in order to let this matter pass, there must be a fall between the two.
After looking at Li Mingyuan again, Pang Xiude left in a hurry with his men. Today is definitely the most faceless time he has been an official for so many years. But he didn't care, he had already given Li Mingyuan the opportunity, and King Ning could be regarded as having an explanation. Since Li Mingyuan is so conceited, then he has to see what Li Mingyuan relies on so domineering and arrogant!
Seeing Pang Xiude's dissatisfied face and leaving in a hurry, Jia Youcai's heart was mixed, he didn't want Li Mingyuan to have a grudge against Pang Xiude, a poisonous snake, after all, he was his own God of Wealth. But he also hopes that the two of them can make a fuss, and the more stiff the trouble, the better, because Jia Youcai is his potential competitor, if there is no one to knock Pang Xiude, it is difficult to say whether Jia Youcai's business can continue.
"Master Li, I'm afraid that you have offended him miserably this time!" Jia Youcai saw Pang Xiude leaving far away, so he stepped forward nervously and said yes.
"If you offend, you will offend, it is safer to be an enemy with such a person than to be a friend, so you don't have to be on guard against him stabbing you in the back all the time!" Li Mingyuan looked at Pang Xiude's back, to be precise, the brocade box in Pang Xiude's hand, and said with a little regret.
"Master Li is really far-sighted, and what he said is not false at all!" Jia Youcai slapped a few just right sycophants, which made Li Mingyuan quite useful, and he also had a good impression of this profit-heavy businessman.
Seeing that Li Mingyuan was silent, Jia Youcai stepped forward obscenely and said cautiously, "Lord Li, the little one has a little wine in Piaoxiang Building, and I want to ask Master Li to move to Piaoxiang Building and sit for a while!" ”
What kind of place is Piaoxianglou, the men know very well in their hearts, it is definitely a paradise for the majority of rich and lonely men. Jia Youcai invited guests in Piaoxiang Building, what kind of calculation was made, Li Mingyuan knew very well in his heart.
Originally, he wanted to let Jia Youcai get out of the way after receiving the gift, but when he heard that people proposed to treat him in Piaoxiang Building, Li Mingyuan couldn't help but feel a little moved. I'm not afraid of jokes when I say it, I've been here for so long, he hasn't been to the kind of cold, glamorous, noble and high-grade entertainment club in Piaoxianglou, and now someone has a treat, and he doesn't have to spend money to go to that time, this is really a good opportunity for long-term knowledge!
"Well, Piaoxianglou is right, okay, since Boss Jia is so polite, then the official is not hypocritical!" Li Mingyuan also smiled obscenely, nodded and agreed to Jia Youcai's invitation.
"Okay, Master Li is really temperamental, refreshing!" Seeing that Li Mingyuan happily accepted his invitation, Jia Youcai was also overjoyed. He knew that this was a prelude to Li Mingyuan's gradual acceptance of himself, otherwise how could Master Li, who didn't even accept Pang Xiude's gifts, deign to go to Piaoxiang Mansion with him.
The two of them got into Jia Youcai's carriage, and the coachman drove the carriage to Piaoxianglou at a rapid pace, and there was a bump along the way, which made Li Mingyuan a little uncomfortable, but when he saw Jia Youcai, a businessman, he looked calm, and he naturally couldn't lose his share, so he endured it.
"Boss Jia, how are the sales of those bottles of perfume?" Li Mingyuan was the first to speak, breaking the dullness in the carriage.
Jia Youcai, who had been fidgeting and looking for a topic, heard Li Mingyuan take the initiative to ask, and hurriedly said respectfully, "Back to Lord Li's words, the sales of this perfume are really good, and now the ladies and ladies of the big families in Cangsong County are all proud to have a bottle of perfume, and it is said that it has been fried to thirty or forty taels in private, and it is still priceless!" ”
Although he was mentally prepared for the popularity of perfume, Li Mingyuan was still shocked after hearing Jia Youcai's words. Thirty or forty taels a bottle, this is simply a huge profit, even if it is robbed, it is not such a high profit! For a while, Li Mingyuan regretted that he had made the price so low at the beginning.
Seeing the look of remorse on Li Mingyuan's face, Jia Youcai couldn't help but chuckle in his heart. In fact, he also considered whether to tell the truth to Li Mingyuan in his heart. If he could, he would have found a way to falsely state a number, but then after much deliberation, he gave up.
Because he knew that these things could not be hidden. Li Mingyuan himself is in the upper class, and he knows that this information is completely easy, if he offends others miserably for the sake of immediate interests, it will really outweigh the losses. After all, a long stream of water is king. To give up a forest for a tree is the act of a fool!
