Chapter 070: Rivalry

Qin Lanzhou's father, Qin Yi, is not only the fifteenth-generation inheritor of the Qin family's authentic fine gold craftsmanship, but also his filigree inlay technology was a must in Suzhou City, and countless skilled craftsmen could not compare to him.

If it weren't for the accident that caused her right hand to be disabled for life, her father would have been a leading figure in the fine gold craft industry by now.

At this moment, Du Mengsheng deliberately used this accident to provoke Qin Lanzhou, and also spread rumors that Qin Yi "cut off his right hand", which was clearly bullying the small with the big, and he didn't care about his identity as an elder at all.

Qin Lanzhou was so angry that her pupils shrank slightly, and she said coldly:

"My father injured his right hand in a car accident, and I hope Master Du will not spread the rumors. I am indeed a girl, but this porcelain work, I not only have to take it, but also finish it beautifully! If Master Du is afraid, he can stop now, lest he can't even do it to a little girl like me when the time comes, and it's not good to become a laughing stock in the industry! โ€

Qin Lanzhou's verbal kung fu had been taught by Du Mengsheng before.

I thought that now that she was weak, she would not be so aggressive, but she never thought that he was still choked by Qin Lanzhou's words, and he was so angry that he pointed at Qin Lanzhou and trembled for a while:

"You...... You little girl with no one in your eyes! Qin Yi taught a daughter like you who has no respect for the elders, it is really in vain to be a master in the industry! โ€

Qin Lanzhou saw that he was arranging her father Qin Yi again, and she was even more angry, so she sneered:

"You keep saying that my father is not that no, and I don't know who Tian was shameless that day, pretending to be my father's senior disciple in front of President Cui! Master Du, you said that I have no one in my eyes, do you have anyone in your eyes? Qin Yi on the left, and Qin Yi on the right, is this your attitude towards your predecessors in the industry? โ€

Qin Lanzhou was so angry that her nostrils smoked, and the two points of respect for Du Mengsheng that still remained in her heart had suddenly disappeared.

People who don't respect themselves don't deserve their respect either...... Qin Lanzhou looked at Du Mengsheng coldly, and put on a posture of a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers.

Du Mengsheng didn't expect that he was old and took a lot of effort to finally climb this Yancheng Mountain, originally to invite Zhao De out of the mountain, but he had just caught up with Zhao De, and he was once again put on the spot by this little-known little girl.

He was trembling with anger, and his blood pressure surged for a while.

Zhao De saw that they were arguing with each other, and suddenly guessed a little deep meaning from their words.

On the one hand, he is an old friend he hasn't seen for many years, and on the other hand, he is the daughter of his junior brother, Zhao De hurriedly maneuvered around:

"Lao Du, don't be angry, don't be angry, you can't do it, Qin Yi retired because of something, haven't you and I heard of it? We're all in the same business, we can't worry about the juniors, right? โ€

"Lao Zhao, you don't know, don't look at her young age, that mouth is like a knife, I couldn't get off the stage in front of so many people a few days ago, you look at her current attitude, you say it's not angry!"

Du Mengsheng couldn't help but complain while being so angry that his chest was heaving, and at the same time he looked at Qin Lanzhou with resentment, how could there be any tolerance that an elder should have.

"If you hadn't lied that my father was your master, I wouldn't have exposed you in public. Master Du, you can't blame me for this, you can only blame yourself for not being honest enough. โ€

Qin Lanzhou saw that he still hadn't figured out the point, so he couldn't help but remind him.

Unexpectedly, her words made Du Mengsheng even more furious, and as soon as he stood up, he made a gesture to beat Qin Lanzhou, but fortunately he was stopped by Zhao De in time.

Zhao De hurriedly said to Qin Lanzhou:

"Xiao Qin, Lao Du is an elder after all, for my sake, don't say any moreโ€”โ€”"

After Zhao De finished speaking, he glanced at Qin Lanzhou.

When Qin Lanzhou saw Zhao De say this, she gave up stupidly, turned around and found a chair and sat down.

She naturally guessed Du Mengsheng's intention of bringing Qiu Hao to visit Zhao De, so she simply stayed and didn't leave, wanting to see what kind of purpose they had.

Du Mengsheng thought that Qin Lanzhou would plan to leave, but who knew that after she sat down, she took the book and read it seriously, without the slightest intention of leaving.

Du Mengsheng was angry, but this was Zhao De's territory after all, and he couldn't blatantly drive Qin Lanzhou away.

So, after his mood stabilized a little, he deliberately sat down with his back to Qin Lanzhou, signaled Qiu Hao to open the boxes of lo-mei they brought one by one, and opened another bottle of Wuliangye, and asked Zhao De to find three wine cups, and the three of them drank in front of Qin Lanzhou like this.

Seeing that Du Mengsheng didn't have the slightest intention of letting Qin Lanzhou join, Zhao De was a little embarrassed for a while, and he smiled at Qin Lanzhou:

"Xiao Qin, do you want to come over and have a drink?"

"No, it's warm here, I'll sit here and read a bookโ€”"

Qin Lanzhou smiled and shirked, she decided to insist that Qingshan would not relax, if Du Mengsheng and Qiu Hao's purpose was to invite Zhao De out of the mountain, then she had to stop it.

Du Mengsheng saw that Qin Lanzhou was present, and he didn't want to explain his intention directly, so he and Zhao De began to talk about the old days, and the two talked about wine, sometimes laughing, but Qin Lanzhou couldn't move and still sat there holding a book, watching it with relish.

Seeing that the light was gradually becoming dim, and this chat had not been able to talk about the topic, Du Mengsheng was not in a hurry, but Qiu Hao couldn't help but be anxious.

He tugged at Du Mengsheng's sleeve:

"Master, it's almost dark soon, so you'd better get to the point early-"

As soon as Qiu Hao's words fell, Du Mengsheng glanced at Qin Lanzhou who was reading a book in a chair again, and saw that she still had no intention of leaving, and at this time, the three of them had almost exhausted a whole bottle of Wuliangye.

Du Mengsheng is already six points drunk, and if he wants to drink it again, not only has the purpose of his trip not been achieved, but I am afraid that he will have to sleep here with Qiu Hao at night.

He had no way to take Qin Lanzhou, seeing that it was getting dark and he couldn't continue to drag it on, so in desperation, he had no choice but to state the purpose of his trip:

"Lao Zhao, I can't hide it, in fact, I came to you today, mainly ...... The main reason is that we Mr. Qiu want to ask you to go out of the mountain again. โ€

Du Mengsheng hooked Zhao De's shoulder with drunkenness, and then whispered.

"Mr. Qiu? Who is Qiu always? โ€

"Mr. Qiu is my father Qiu Chengxiang, the owner of Chengxiang Jewelry and Gold Store, my father specially asked me and my master to invite you, I want you to join our Chengxiang team, and the treatment is as you like."

Qiu Hao saw that Du Mengsheng finally jumped out the purpose of this trip, so he hurriedly whispered something to add.

Although they kept their voices very low as thieves, the office was so small, Qin Lanzhou still heard it in his ears without a word.

Qin Lanzhou had long estimated that this was their purpose, and for a while, she closed the book and said loudly:

"Uncle Zhao, the treatment they can give you is what they can do, and our Molan Workshop can afford to open it. If you're willing to go out of the mountain, I hope you'll consider joining the Meran Workshopโ€”"

Qin Lanzhou suddenly spoke, startling the three of them.

The three of them instantly looked at Qin Lanzhou with their eyes brushed together, and Qin Lanzhou had already stood up at this time, with a long-awaited smile on his face.

"Qin Lanzhou, it turns out that you are waiting for us here-"

Qiu Hao saw that Qin Lanzhou suddenly spoke up, intending to compete with them for Zhao De, the old master, so his eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a fierce light in his eyes.

"I came to Yancheng Mountain first, and I also found Uncle Zhao first, under the same treatment, I believe that Uncle Zhao will give priority to the Molan Workshop."

Qin Lanzhou had long been accustomed to Qiu Hao's virtue, she said not to be outdone, and at the same time cast a sweet smile at Zhao De.

Seeing that the two of them were about to fight again, Zhao De was in a dilemma for a while, and he hurriedly waved his hand:

"I haven't been in touch with the craft for many years, my craft has long been rusty, and I'm old now, and my eyes are no longer good. Otherwise, I had two apprentices in my early years, and their standards were not worse than mine, so it would be better for me to provide you with the contact information of the two of them, one for each person, so that you don't have to fight again. However, I'm afraid they have also changed careers now, and whether they can be invited or not depends on the ability of the two of you. โ€

Zhao Desheng was afraid that if they quarreled again, it would hurt the harmony.

So, he immediately got up, tore two pages from a notebook, wrote down the contact addresses and contact information of his two senior disciples, and handed them to both of them.

"Uncle Zhao, it's too lonely for you to guard the Yan Pagoda on this mountain alone, it's better for you to go to Beixun Ancient Street, and I will arrange a place for you to live, which is better than you being here alone."

After Qin Lanzhou took the note, he saw that Zhao De was alone here, and said a little unbearably.

"I've been in charge of managing Yanta for many years, and I'm used to it, besides, I eat public food here, and I will have a retirement salary after two years, and I really don't plan to do this craft. But I hope that you can play fairly, but don't hurt the harmony between you. โ€

Zhao De said earnestly, and he patted Qin Lanzhou and Du Mengsheng on the shoulders respectively.

Seeing that Zhao De had already said this, Du Mengsheng suddenly understood that the possibility of him going out of the mountain again was not very high, seeing that it was already dark outside, and the temperature on the mountain was getting colder and colder, Du Mengsheng and Qiu Hao said goodbye to Zhao De and hurried down the mountain.

Zhao Degang wanted to beckon Du Mengsheng and Qiu Hao to take Qin Lanzhou down the mountain together, but they had already walked away regardless of it.

Looking at the backs of the two of them gradually disappearing until they disappeared, Zhao De couldn't help but sigh:

"Xiao Qin, they're all gone, what should you do?"

"It's okay, Uncle Zhao, I brought a flashlight and a mobile phone, I can do it by myself."

Qin Lanzhou hurriedly said with a smile.

Zhao De was originally relieved and wanted to send Qin Lanzhou down the mountain, but Qin Lanzhou was more worried that it would be more dangerous for him to send her down the mountain and then go up the mountain, so he politely rejected Zhao De's proposal.

The altitude of Yancheng Mountain is not high, and there are street lights shining all the way down the mountain, Qin Lanzhou is carrying a flashlight and a mobile phone, she expects that the problem should not be big.

After bidding farewell to Zhao De, she carried the easel on her back alone and embarked on the road down the mountain under the cover of night......
