Chi Yue decided to go to the natural house herself.

Seeing Chi Yue, Boss Meng greeted him, and then asked, "I was about to ask someone to go to your side to get mushrooms, why did you come first?" Did you send the mushrooms to your door in person? ”

He looked out the door, but saw nothing like a carriage or horse, and looked at her suspiciously.

Chi Yue smacked her lips, and finally said what she had thought of, "Boss Meng, I'm sorry, the mushroom field in my house has suffered, and I don't know who turned it upside down, as for the mushrooms, they were all destroyed overnight, and I can't provide you with supplies." ”

Hearing that Chi Yue's envoy was here, Boss Meng gradually frowned, "There is still such a thing?" At this time, it can be regarded as a peaceful and prosperous world, there is no rebellion without bandits, and everyone is still able to eat and clothe themselves, and the other party actually uses such a ruthless hand against you, I think you have offended people, and you have offended deeply? ”

Chi Yue frowned and shook her head, "I really can't think of who did it." ”

Seeing that she didn't look like she was lying, Boss Meng couldn't think of why, so he didn't ask anymore, and returned to the real question, "You said that mushrooms can't be provided, but the mushroom dishes we have here have become a signature dish within a radius of 100 miles, and there are more and more people who order the dishes, and there are no less than 20 tables ordering this dish today. ”

Boss Meng's language became more and more alienated, and his eyes became more and more cold, "Besides, you and I have already signed a contract, and the contract is very clear, if you breach the contract and do not provide the source of goods, you will compensate us for 1,000 taels of silver." ”

Chi Yue's heart tightened.

After half a year of making sugar and selling mushrooms, she already had more than 700 taels on hand. But the distance is a thousand taels, and there is still a distance.

For a while, where did she get so much compensation? Do you want to sell the workshop for money?

Thinking of this, her heart hurt like a pinprick, like a drop of blood.

"Boss Meng, it's not that I deliberately didn't provide you with the source of goods, but that the disaster that I can't control has led to all this. Doesn't it also clearly state in the contract that 'unless it is impossible to provide due to natural disasters and various force majeure, it will not be pursued'? Chi Yue argued, glad that he was wise enough, and insisted on adding this crucial condition to it, but he didn't think that there was a place for it at this time.

"Natural disasters, force majeure?" Boss Meng shook his head and smiled, "But what you are suffering now is a natural disaster, is it force majeure?" This is clearly a man-made disaster, and if you are cautious and modest in your daily life, where will you offend such a bold person to take revenge? It's clearly your own cause. ”

Boss Meng's iron face was so cold that it chilled Chi Yue's heart.

Only then did she realize that the politeness and enthusiasm in the past were all for commercial interests, and she saw her sincerity at this time.

"Can't you just be accommodating and give me another chance?" Chi Yue gritted her teeth unwillingly and said, "When I replant, I will definitely return to you the amount I owe you in the past few days, and I will not charge a penny." ”

Boss Meng shook his head ruthlessly with an iron face, sweeping through the customers eating in the hall, "But these guests you have offended me, their trust in our natural residence can never be found back.

Chi Yue looked at Boss Meng coldly, and finally understood how he couldn't convince him, after all, he was a mercenary businessman. This huge amount of compensation, it seems that he is going to be decided.

Gritting her teeth, Chi Yue was about to slap her swollen face and become fat, and when she endured this bitter fruit, she suddenly heard a loud bell from upstairs, and a voice like an ethereal aftermath of a lonely mountain and a distant temple.

"Lao Meng, bring this girl up, I'll talk to her."

Boss Meng's face changed suddenly, and he bowed respectfully, "Yes, I'll take her up." ”

glanced at Chi Yue, her eyes full of confusion.

Chi Yue was also wondering, who was the mysterious person upstairs? What did she ask him for?

Follow Boss Meng to the upstairs private room, enter the inside, but see that the mahogany furniture here is simple and elegant, the antique vase is inserted with ornamental plants, and the house also looks green.

A long, dignified figure, with his hands behind his back, stood quietly in front of a row of bookshelves full of books, reading one of them.

"Childe, someone brought it to you." Boss Meng said respectfully, "I don't know if you are looking for her for breach of contract?" It's ......"

"There is no need to pursue this matter." The man put the book on the shelf and turned around.

Chi Yue gasped.

The heavenly court is full, the earth pavilion is round, the eyebrows are in the sideburns, and the eyes are blazing.

If Gu Han's eyes are like cold stars, then this person's eyes are like the sun, burning and burning, so that people dare not look directly.

Gu Han can be described as a handsome and handsome man, and he can't find anyone comparable to him in these ten miles and eight towns, but at this time, this person can be compared with him.

Both of them are beautiful men, but they are different. Gu Han was as warm as jade, but there was a little more perseverance on this person's angular face.

The two of them exuded a sense of arrogance and uninhibitedness.

"Childe, hello, I don't know your surname?" Chi Yue blessed her body and asked curiously.

Before the son in front of him could speak, Boss Meng hurriedly said: "Miss Chi, this is our big boss Boss Mu, but he is a powerful person, you don't have to speak outright and rush against him." ”

In his eyes, Chi Yue, as a country girl, wanted to ask the name of her big boss when she met, which was really rude and bold!

Chi Yue didn't think so, in her eyes that was nurtured by modern times, even the emperor Lao'er was nothing, he was just a physical mortal like her.

What made her strange was that Boss Meng actually had a top boss, the real boss of the natural residence, was actually the Boss Mu in front of her?

Mu Chen said lightly, "Lao Meng, you go out, I will discuss this matter with Miss Chi." ”

Boss Meng is a little confused, but she is just an ignorant little girl in the countryside, where can she be in the same room with Mu Chen and discuss something?

You must know that Mu Chen only comes every two or three months, and every time Boss Meng is the only one who knows his whereabouts, and Mu Chen doesn't like others to disturb him.

"Boss Mu, this little girl's matter is very small, how can I bother you......"

"Go out and close the door, ask someone to prepare a few dishes, and I'll talk to Miss Chi while eating." Before Boss Meng could finish speaking, he was ordered to be evicted again, and he had to retreat.

After withdrawing, Boss Meng was still smacking his tongue, wondering if Mu Chen was so bored that he took care of such a trivial matter.

"Miss Chi, please be seated." Mu Chen gave up his seat.

Chi Yue sat unceremoniously across from him, with an open window next to him, revealing the beautiful summer scenery.

Mu Chen didn't speak, and Chi Yue didn't speak, enjoying the scenery outside.

Mu Chen hooked his lips slightly, "I heard that something happened to Miss Chi's mushroom field?" ”

Chi Yue then told the incident one by one, and finally sighed: "I don't even know who I offended, but I suffered such a catastrophe, it can be seen that Boss Meng is right, I am too harsh in my daily life, and I don't know what kind of pervert I have offended." ”

The word "perverted maniac" made Mu Chen laugh out loud, "This word is used appropriately. ”

After a pause, he added: "Since I was fifteen years old, I have traveled all over the world, climbing mountains and wading through rivers, tasting the customs and customs of every place, and I have never stopped. Now, six years later, I have seen a lot of anecdotes in the meantime, and it is not without you that there are no examples. ”

Chi Yue didn't expect that the person in front of him was a traveler and explorer like Xu Xiake, and he was interested in it.

"Then tell me about it." Chi Yue urged, grabbing the puff pastry peanuts on the table and putting them in her mouth.

Mu Chen saw that some people were interested in what he had seen and heard, and he also came to talk, "That man's peanut field was also dumped and destroyed, and his family cried and grabbed the land, cursing the people who plagued their land and did not die well. They were angry and sued the officials, and the officials came down to investigate, but they could not find any clues, and his enemies even had alibis, and for a time the case became a suspicious unsolved case. ”

Isn't that similar to what she experienced herself? Chi Yue became more and more excited, "And then? ”

"Then," Mu Chen poured another cup of tea for Chi Yue and a cup for himself, and then continued to tell the story: "I know the ins and outs of this matter. ”

"You?" Chi Yue didn't expect this ending, and opened her eyes slightly, "How did you know?" ”

Mu Chen was not in a hurry, hooked his lips and smiled, "It's just that I was also among the onlookers at that time, and when everyone was staring at the lively scene in the field, I noticed the movement of one of the people in the audience. I saw that he secretly buried two footprints in the ground with earth, and in full view of everyone, he did not know what was going on. Yes, I have a gut feeling that he must have something to do with it. ”

"Well, I secretly followed him back to the house and overheard his conversation with his wife in the house. It's nothing more than a matter of being lucky that no one noticed him hiding his footprints. ”

Chi Yue immediately gave a thumbs up, "Awesome!" I can't imagine that Boss Mu, you are still a discerning and discerning detective! ”

Seeing Chi Yue praising a person so generously and naturally, Mu Chen couldn't help but say, "I've seen a woman like a sea of stars, and you were the first to give me a thumbs up, which is also a strange move." ”

Chi Yue noticed that she was excited to make a move that only a modern woman has, and this move, in the eyes of ancient men, is probably too indecent, right?

She smiled awkwardly, hid her hand under the table, and changed the subject abruptly: "By the way, what is the motive for the person you are talking about?" Could it be that he has a grudge against the victim, but the victim does not know about it? ”

Mu Chen shook his head, and the feather fan was lifted, which also sent a cool breeze to Chi Yue.

"The two have no grievances or hatreds, and they don't often correspond, so they can't mention anything to do with it."

Chi Yue raised her thin eyebrows, suddenly thought of a possibility, got up and said, "I know!" ”
