The next day, Leng Zhen and the people on Yanyun's side made an appointment to eat at Juxian Building at noon, he booked a private room, there were still hours before ten oon, An Ran and Leng Zhen had already gone to Juxian Building to wait, this matter was very important, she must be very cautious.

It was already noon, but the other party hadn't shown up yet, and An Ran was still waiting patiently.

Time passed bit by bit, and an hour had passed since the agreed time, but he still didn't see the shadow of the other party, Leng Zhen was a little anxious, and said: "Miss, do you think that person is playing tricks on us, it's been so long, and it hasn't appeared yet." ”

"Leng Shu, you forgot again. An Ran reminded lightly.

Hearing this, Leng Zhen suddenly remembered and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Childe, I lost my words." ”

Now An Ran is a woman dressed as a man, and Leng Zhen should call her a son, not a young lady.

"It's okay, let's wait. An Ran leisurely sipped the tea, with a light and breezy face, not in a hurry at all.

Leng Zhen looked at An Ran's appearance, his heart settled a little, and he sat down and continued to wait.

Finally, more than an hour passed, and the other party's person finally appeared.

The door was opened, and An Ran looked up, a little surprised.

I thought I would see an older man, but I didn't expect that the other party came to be a twenty-three or four-year-old man, who looked very handsome, fair and clean, and made people look very comfortable.

The man walked in and said with a smile: "This must be Lin Gongzi, right?"

An Ran looked at him, said hello, and asked the other party to sit down first.

"Haven't asked for a name yet?" An Ran asked politely, and poured tea for him himself.

"Shangguan Jing. The man said.

"Lin Wuxi. An Ran replied, and then asked puzzledly: "Then the person who negotiated with my shopkeeper before didn't seem to be Shangguan Gongzi, right?"

"That's my second uncle. Shangguan Jing said. The tone of his voice is neither high nor low, but it gives people the impression of a great sense of majesty.

So that's the case, no wonder I heard Leng Zhen say that he was talking to him about a middle-aged man, but today it was a young man.

It seems that this man is the biggest manipulator behind the scenes, and if you want to do the business of salt transportation, you have to talk to him well before you can do it.

"I didn't expect Shangguan Gongzi to have such courage at a young age, Wuxi admired. An Ran's words are not polite words, he really thinks that Shangguan Jing is a talented person, otherwise how would ordinary people dare to do such a business.

Lin Gongzi laughed. Okay, let's stop saying polite words, let's just say it, how can we cooperate? What guarantee do you get, I will provide salt to you, and I can get the greatest benefit. ”

An Ran sat down, looked at Shangguan Jing with those phoenix eyes, showed a very confident smile on his face, and said slowly: "If Shangguan Gongzi is really willing to cooperate with me, you just need to take a look at this, and after reading it, you can decide whether you want to cooperate with me, and the two of us will achieve a win-win situation." ”

As he spoke, An Ran took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Shangguan Jing.

Shangguan Jing looked at it carefully, his eyes were full of appreciation, and after a while, he closed the piece of paper, looked at An Ran with dark black eyes, and said, "Okay, I can offer you salt, but there is one condition." ”

"Shangguan Gongzi, please speak. An Ran said with a smile.

"According to the profit point on this paper, it goes up by two points. Shangguan Jing hooked the corners of his mouth and said very confidently.

An Ran didn't think about it, and responded happily: "Deal." ”

After speaking, both of them stood up and shook hands, Shangguan Jing was stunned for a moment, but soon came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Happy cooperation." ”

"It was a pleasure to work with. An Ran replied.

After the two discussed, they sat down, and just then, the dishes they ordered were served one after another.

After waiting for the dishes to be served, An Ran greeted: "Shangguan Gongzi, I don't know your taste, so I just ordered a few things, if you don't think it suits your taste, ask the chef to make it again." ”

"Lin Gongzi is a person who has taste and understands life, there is no need to do it again, these are already very good, I like it very much. Shangguan Jing praised.

The two of them and Leng Zhen began to eat, and during the banquet, the three of them chatted for a while.

After lunch, he was about to leave, but An Ran stopped him and said, "Shangguan Gongzi, there is one thing to trouble you." ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say that. "Shangguan Jing is also a very cheerful person.

"I also ask Shangguan Gongzi to keep it secret, and if it is not a very special situation in the future, it will generally be handed over by the cold shopkeeper. An Ran said, looking at Shangguan Jing with clear eyes, extremely sincere.

Shangguan Jing looked at An Ran for a while, smiled heartily, and responded: "I don't like to visit people, I just care about the benefits of this transaction." ”

After the two parties parted ways and left, they returned to Qianzhuang, and Leng Zhen asked An Ran, "Miss, how did you get that Shangguan Gongzi to agree to cooperate with us?"

Just now I saw An Ran show him a piece of paper, can he convince people so easily with just a piece of paper?

An Ran smiled mysteriously and asked rhetorically: "Leng Shu, you have been following your mother for so long, didn't she teach you?"

Leng Zhen was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, shook his head slowly, and said: "Miss, you also know that although it is said that I followed the master's mother, I have been in Beichu for many years, and I rarely go back to Dasheng, and the opportunity to study by the master's mother is indeed very rare." ”

An Ran nodded slowly, this is a fact, Leng Shu stays in Beichu all the year round, taking care of her mother's property here, as for Dasheng's side, it is rare to go back once a year, let alone learn anything from her mother's side.

An Ran no longer sold Guanzi, and said directly: "This is a business plan that my mother taught me to do, which is a detailed plan made between talking about business with others, so that the other party can see it at a glance, and naturally it will also weigh the interests and judge whether to cooperate with us." ”

Although Leng Zhen heard the three words of the plan, he was a little confused, but he still knew the general meaning, and praised: "It's still the master's mother, we have looked for it many times, but we have not succeeded." ”

Leng Zhen admired Lin Yin very much, it was really hard to believe that a woman could establish so many businesses in Dasheng and Northern Chu, and she also knew how high such a woman's wrist was.

"Leng Shu, the next thing is for you to go and connect with the people on Shangguan Jing's side, I guess Shangguan Jing will still let his second uncle cooperate with you. An Ran said.

"Okay, don't worry, Miss, I will be cautious, if there are some major matters, I will ask you before making a decision. Leng Zhen said.

"That's hard work. An Ran said sincerely.

Leng Zhen nodded slightly, thought of something, and asked, "Miss, you said that you would let Shangguan Jing keep your identity secret, do you think he really won't say it?"

For the person who met for the first time, although Shangguan Jing gave people a very good feeling, and he should also be an upright person, but believing him so quickly, Leng Zhen's heart was always unsteady.

An Ran thought for a while, his eyes drifted away a little, and said, "I think he is a person who can be trusted." ”

"Since the eldest lady said so, then believe him this time, I hope Shangguan Jing really won't tell your identity, otherwise, I don't know what kind of trouble will happen, more is better than less, we are walking on thin ice now, and we must be very cautious with every step." Leng Zhen said.

"Okay, you go and get ready first, I guess they will contact you soon. An Ran said.

After Leng Zhen left, An Ran stayed in the room by himself, looking at the white expanse outside, and felt a little desolate in his heart.

Things progressed step by step, but she couldn't be happy.

Half a month has passed, and the matter of Yanyun has been carried out in an orderly manner, and Xiao Ji sent out by An Ran has also completed what she explained, making the people on Nan Lingye's side think that she is actually dead.

An Ran didn't care what Xiao Ji used to do it, anyway, now in the capital of Northern Chu, the wind and waves are calm.

Things seem to be going very well, but only An Ran understands that she is actually not happy at all.

Today's Northern Chu capital is very lively, because to celebrate the triumphant return of their majesty, Nan Lingye led his troops to quell the rebellion in the Northern Wilderness, and the class returned to the dynasty yesterday.

Coincidentally, today is the Lantern Festival in Northern Chu, one is to celebrate the festival, and on the other hand, it is also to celebrate their Majesty's victory.

That night, An Ran was still dressed in men's clothes and went to see the Lantern Festival in Northern Chu.

The crowded streets are almost crowded, and the various lanterns on both sides of the street are dazzling. But because of some lanterns, it makes people's mood better.

On the bustling street, An Ran walked slowly, stopping from time to time to admire the beautiful lanterns.

She didn't notice that on the other side of her, Nan Lingye was also walking towards this side.

Nan Lingye didn't bring any guards, he came out alone. Today is the Lantern Festival, originally he didn't like these festivals, but I don't know why, there is always a voice in his heart urging him to come out quickly.

So the devil sent God, and he came out quietly.

There were crowds of people everywhere, Nan Lingye frowned slightly, looked at the lanterns around him, and then looked at the excited and happy people, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked.

The two walked like this, and it just so happened that An Ran and Nan Lingye passed by the two of them.

Nan Lingye didn't see An Ran, but An Ran saw Nan Lingye, and for a moment, her heart seemed to stop.

How could it be him? She had seen him on such an occasion, and he hadn't seen her, or rather, he had seen her, but he hadn't recognized her.

An Ran stopped and turned to look over, but only saw his back, so familiar.

They passed by like this, and they didn't know each other.
