After hearing that these clothes were just old clothes, Li Xu bowed his head slightly and took them with peace of mind, otherwise he would be embarrassed to accept them.

"Is there something wrong with Shopkeeper Song's coming? Recently, the shopkeeper Miao has not made any moves, so he has not looked for you." Li Xu thought that Song Qian was here for Miao Shuxuan's matter, so he hurriedly explained.

Song Qian shook his head and denied his thoughts, explaining, "She hasn't done anything in the past few days, I know, and she didn't come here for this matter. I want to ask, does this Miao Shuxuan have any business dealings with other countries?" This Li Xu has been in the shop almost all day, so he should know something.

Hearing this, Li Xu thought about it for a long time, and replied, "It seems that there are several, but I haven't seen them, because every time they are outside in a carriage, the shopkeeper Miao went out after seeing it. It's just that occasionally I hear their accents don't look like they're here, and the rest doesn't know." Li Xu didn't dare to listen to anything, otherwise he would make Miao Shuxuan angry, and he would be punished at that time.

"That's true." Song Qian nodded thoughtfully, this is basically the same as the news she got, it seems that her guess is also correct, after affirming her inner thoughts, Song Qian looked at the puzzled Li Xu and comforted him and said, "There is no problem, I just ask casually." In the past few days, you have been thinking a little more about this matter, and if there are people from other countries who come to Miao Shuxuan, you can tell me. You don't have to meddle in the rest of the matter, you know?"

Li Xu reacted and hurriedly nodded and agreed: "Yes, shopkeeper Song, don't worry, if there is any movement, I will definitely tell you." But those people are staring at me closely, and I'm afraid I won't be able to find you in the first place." Li Xu sighed, looked at Song Qian worriedly, and expressed his helplessness.

Since he moved out from here, those people have always wanted to know where he lives, and several interrogations and follow-ups have made Li Xu have a thrilling past, which also makes them keep an eye on him more closely, and it is not very convenient for Li Xu to do anything. Especially when he came out to find Song Qian, he was afraid that he would be known by those people.

Knowing his concerns, Song Qian was relieved and said, "I know that you are inconvenient, so you can do your best. I'll prepare it with both hands, and you don't have to be too stressed. Everything has to be done with care, don't get caught in any tricks, you know?"

From the very beginning, Song Qian sent another person to keep an eye on Miao Shuxuan and them, although this was a little distrustful of Li Xu, but it was also Song Qian's foolproof strategy, because she knew that Li Xu agreed to be her eyeliner was just because he could get what he wanted, and he was afraid of Miao Shuxuan and them until now, if the other party was found threatening him, it was difficult not to guarantee that Li Xu would not compromise.

So Song Qian, just in case, left a way back for himself. This Li Xu can't do, there is another person, Song Qian will never let go of any opportunity, she must investigate these things clearly, otherwise it will be difficult to sleep and eat, and Miao Shuxuan will always be a threat.

Li Xu nodded blankly, and didn't react to what Song Qian's words meant for a while, but replied, "Yes, I will." Now that Song Qian is kind and righteous to him, he can't live up to Song Qian.

Seeing that he agreed, Song Qian left with confidence.

took the carriage to the hot pot shop, Song Qian looked at the shop whose business was as hot as ever and nodded with satisfaction, and at the same time, it was also a recognition of Liu An's ability, and he felt that it was really the right choice for this shop to be handed over to him.

"You're here, please." Liu An came back from outside and was very shocked to see Song Qian here, and hurriedly invited her to the backyard and asked people to make a pot of tea to entertain Song Qian.

After Song Qian sat down, he said to Liu An, who was still beckoning someone to bring things up, "Okay, don't be busy. I just came this time to see how the business of the shop is, and I am relieved to see that it is so good. In addition, there is one more thing......

"This shop is small and dare not slack off, business has always been very good, and it can be regarded as a small reward to the princess. If there is anything, even if the princess just asks, the little one must not hesitate." Looking at Song Qian's solemn expression, Liu An guessed that this matter was not simple, so he sat up and waited seriously for Song Qian's next chapter.

When Song Qian heard this, he spoke: "Since you have already said so, I have nothing to twist and pinch about. Recently, I have occasionally learned that businessmen from other countries have come to do business with us, and I want to get in touch with them, but I haven't had the opportunity yet. So I hope you can pay close attention to the store to see if there are any such people, and it would be best if you could tell me as soon as possible. The other thing is to increase publicity, whatever means are used, so that we can attract customers."

Nowadays, the hot pot shop is the most famous restaurant in the whole town of Sulou, and these outsiders can't never stay here, if her hot pot shop is famous, they will definitely hear about it and have a good chance of coming here to eat. In this way, Song Qian can start and it will be easier to achieve his goal.

Liu An quickly understood what Song Qian meant, nodded and replied, "The little one understands what to do, princess, don't worry." The small ones will set aside a special room, and if these guests do come, the little ones will tell you as soon as possible." Although I don't know what Song Qian wants to do, Liu An must be very cooperative.

Song Qian was relieved to see that Liu An was so smart, and he guessed what he meant, so he got up and walked outside and said, "Then this matter will make you worry a lot."

"You're kidding, that's what the little ones should do." Liu An lowered his head and replied respectfully, until he sent Song Qian to the carriage and watched the carriage disappear from his sight before turning back.

Meanwhile.

Miao Shuxuan came to Zhou Yongde's shop, and saw that the business here was really as he said, it was very deserted, and he was a little dissatisfied. Because the rouge gouache here is the work of my own research, how can it not be sold at all? After thinking about it, she finally thought that Zhou Yongde had no ability and couldn't do business at all.

So after Zhou Yongde came back, she called him into the backyard with a serious face, which made Zhou Yongde feel bad, until Miao Shuxuan's appearance was about to have an accident.

Sure enough, Miao Shuxuan looked him up and down a few times and then said, "Today you have sorted out all the matters in the shop, and tomorrow I will let others accept the shop." When the time comes, he will also bring you your deed of sale and what you deserve. I'll buy you a house on the west side, but it's up to you to decide whether you want to live or what."

"Miss, what are you?" Zhou Yongde looked at Miao Shuxuan with a shocked expression, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and asked, "Miss, did Xiao Xiao do something wrong?" Why do you want to let the little one out of here all of a sudden?" He has been loyal to Miao Shuxuan for so many years, and he has no credit and hard work, but he didn't expect Miao Shuxuan to say that if he gave up himself, he would give up himself.

Miao Shuxuan looked at him coldly, unmoved by his bitter voice, and just replied: "You have been by Miss Ben's side for so many years, and you have done so many things, and now it seems that you have the heart but not enough strength, so Miss Ben can't bear you to continue to work hard for Miss Ben." It's better to go back and start a family and live a good life."

What she said was high-sounding, but Zhou Yongde knew that Miao Shuxuan was going to give up his chess piece.

But for so many years, Zhou Yongde will do everything for Miao Shuxuan, because she has saved her life, and all this is to repay her kindness, but how Miao Shuxuan has treated herself all these years, presumably only the two of them know, and now that she has used it, she will give it up, Zhou Yongde still knows so many secrets about her, it is difficult to say whether he can save his life in the future, so he naturally does not want to leave Miao Shuxuan and let himself lose his life.

"Miss, what did you say was wrong with the small ones? After so many years, what are you dissatisfied with the small ones, the small ones will definitely change, is it because the business is not good during this time? It's all small things that are not good and incompetent, but please believe that the small ones will definitely find a solution and repay them, and if you really can't do it, you can beat and scold the small ones." Zhou Yongde still wants to make the last retention, otherwise he will completely become a fish on the board and be slaughtered.

But Miao Shuxuan had already made up her mind, and looked at Zhou Yongde and said indifferently: "I have already decided, and I can't change my words. You want a reason I can only tell you not only because you are not doing well, but also because ......" She suspected that Zhou Yongde had betrayed herself, and turned to Song Qian, for

Just in case, naturally I can't keep him by my side anymore.

"You'd better not be ignorant, now Miss Ben is thinking of the past relationship between you and me to be so forgiving to you, otherwise you yourself will know what will happen. So don't toast or eat and drink, let's take these things obediently, you and I can still keep each other for a while, right?"

At this time, Miao Shuxuan was already a little impatient, but considering that Zhou Yongde knew a lot of things, he could only maintain the last decency, and it was really because Zhou Yongde had helped him with a lot of things, Miao Shuxuan was already very polite.

Zhou Yongde looked at Miao Shuxuan in disbelief, he didn't expect her to be so ruthless, she didn't miss her old feelings at all, even if she was disappointed, she could only accept the facts.

Miao Shuxuan knew that he would agree, after all, she still knew what his personality was, so she got up and said to Zhou Yongde and finally, "If you can come to me for anything in the future, if I have the ability, I will help you." But the rest of the time, it's better for you and me not to contact each other, otherwise outsiders will see something, and it's not good for you and me, you know?"

The most important thing is that she doesn't want to get into this trouble, after all, Zhou Yongde is no longer of much use to herself.

The appearance of such a ruthless Miao Shuxuan seems to have been expected by Zhou Yongde, he curled the corners of his lips and mocked himself for believing what Miao Shuxuan said so easily, otherwise he would not feel such an end.

"Yes, thank you, Miss Miao." Zhou Yongde looked at Miao Shuxuan with cold eyes, and took the things she asked her subordinates to hand over weakly.

That's a lot of silver taels and there is also a house deed and land deed, which is Miao Shuxuan's remuneration and compensation for herself for so many years.

Seeing him accept it so well, Miao Shuxuan was relieved, so she got up and walked out the door, not forgetting to say, "Remember to clean up earlier."
