It is important to maintain a circle of sisters, but if it involves her own interests, Zhao Pan'er will not hesitate to choose the latter.
Don't say that Zhou Ji slapped Ge Zhaodi, even if some official in the future covets the body of Yinzhang's girl, and even quietly hints that others will drug Yinzhang.
As long as it maximizes its own interests, when the restaurant opens, Zhao Pan'er can still pretend that nothing happened, invite the other party to the opening dinner, and let Song Yinzhang come on stage to perform for the other party.
As for her Yinzhang girl, the big deal is to wait until everything is over and coax her in private.
After weighing the pros and cons, although Zhao Pan'er was afraid of Zhou Ji's mysterious identity of being able to attend Xiao Xiang's birthday banquet, she wanted to take advantage of the situation to buy people's hearts. They are our sisters and one of the shareholders of the restaurant, Boss Zhou bullied the weak and beat people in public, please give us an explanation for what happened today."
"Bullying?"
Zhou Ji laughed when he heard it. For so many years, he has always treated people with sincerity and rarely got angry with others. He glanced at the pitiful Ge Zhaodi who shrank aside with a half-smile, looked at Zhao Pan'er's sharp eyes, and said with a sneer: "Miss Pan'er, if you want me to have an explanation, then take her to the Jiaofang workshop and confront Miss Yinzhang face to face, and listen to what Ge Zhaodi said before is true and false, how much oil has been added, and how much oil has been added. How jealous. If she didn't tell the truth from it, I would come to the door and apologize."
Sun Sanniang was taken aback when she heard the words, then turned around, scrutinizing Ge Zhaodi who was dodging her eyes.
After all, she was once saved by Zhou Ji. When she drowned, Zhou Ji fished her out of the river, covered her body with clothes, and helped her clear the choking water with cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
Because of this good relationship, she naturally has a high degree of trust in Zhou Ji.
Right now, the restaurant’s head money is only short of Ge Zhaodi’s 30 pennies. At present, the most important thing is to maintain stability.
Zhao Pan'er patted the back of Ge Zhaodi's hand lightly, showing a gentle smile, signaling her not to worry, raised her eyes to look at Zhou Ji, and said, "Zhaodi is still young, and has a straightforward personality, sometimes she is a bit unscrupulous. Stumbling between sisters is also inevitable, but I believe she has no malicious intentions."
Alas, there is no malicious manner right and wrong, kicking the Song Yinzhang of the original sister circle and marginalized.
I took the opportunity to climb up and became a 'minority shareholder' from a guy who used his work as a substitute for his crimes. It's a pity that such a scheming is here, and he should be sent to Miqing to engage in Gongdou.
Zhou Ji saw the essence of this shit-stirring stick through Ge Zhaodi's remarks just now, and the corners of his mouth raised, revealing a mocking smile.
Boss Tao, after listening to the whole story, found that Zhao Pan'er had the intention to give in, and hurried forward to make things right. Zhao Pan'er had already seen that Ge Zhaodi had a lot of opinions on the introduction, and everything was not pleasing to the eye, so he didn't want to get entangled in this matter. Going down, forced a smile, handed over the head money to Boss Tao, and greeted Sun Sanniang and Zhaodi to press their fingerprints on the contract.
Sun Sanniang was in a mess, and she didn't defend Ge Zhaodi as violently as usual, she stepped aside after pressing her fingerprints; Ge Zhaodi limped to the table while covering her bruised cheeks, but found that no one was paying attention to her. There was a flash of shame and resentment, and the thumb wiped the corner of his mouth, staining his name with blood.
Even if I become the owner of the restaurant I dream of, I am not as happy as I imagined.
The three of them pressed their fingerprints with different ideas, and made an appointment with Boss Tao to pay the final payment in seven days. Zhou Ji and Du Changfeng also left their names as witnesses, and handed over the contract to Zhao Paner and Boss Tao.
Only then did the down payment be paid, and Zhao Pan'er was already reckless, and he did not hesitate to introduce Ge Zhaodi's foreign capital to raise the six hundred guan.
There are still seven days before the final payment is due, Zhou Ji can't help but wonder how Zhao Pan'er can make up the final payment of 600 guan.
Is Gu Qianfan really that rich?
Or is there something to do with Mrs. Song and nothing to do with Song Yinzhang?
After roughly calculating Song Yinzhang's share in the teahouse, Zhou Ji had already walked to the gate of Jiaofang before he knew it.
A faint singing voice came from the yard accompanied by a melodious pipa. Zhou Ji stopped in front of the steps, looked up at the sky, turned back to the teahouse, and called a waiter to Chifu to ask Chiya Nei to come over and ask him about it. Song Yinzhang's current situation.
As soon as the 'Master' summoned him, Chi Yanei immediately put down the cuju on his feet, accused the 'Zhao Yanei' whom he had known for a while, and prepared to leave for the teahouse.
'Zhao Yanei' had seen Chi Yanei's skills before, and was quite curious about his master, so he asked if he could take him with him. Immediately see Mr. Zhou and ask for advice on Cuju skills.
When they arrived at the teahouse, the waiter led the two of them to the elegant room on the second floor. Zhou Ji was not surprised to see that Chi Ya Nei brought an extra person over.
Looking across the two servants behind 'Zhao Yanei', with a thought, his eyes fell on his waistband, and he roughly guessed that the other party might be a member of the royal family.
Have greeted each other, Zhao Yanei calls himself Zhao Ji, his father is an official in other places, recently moved to the capital, met Chi Yanei because of Cuju, and hit it off right away.
also said that your surname is not 'Gao'.
Zhou Ji glanced at Chi Yanei with a strange expression, making Chi Yanei confused.
"Why is Master looking at me like this again?"
Zhou Ji picked up a dried walnut casually, and said with a gloomy expression, "I'm just a little lucky. Fortunately, your surname is not 'Gao'."
Ka~ There was a sudden crisp sound, like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, and the walnuts were crushed into dross, which shocked Zhao Yanei and Chi Ya's heart.
Gao Ren is worthy of being a Gao Ren, he looks young, but he feels more intimidating than the master of Taiyuan Academy.
Zhao Yanei looked at Zhou Ji in awe, and quietly glanced at Chi Yanei who was also startled.
With others around, Zhou Ji didn't want to say much, so he called a martial artist from the theater troupe to lead Zhao Yanei to the backyard to teach him skills, and left Chi Yanei to ask about Song Yinzhang.
Chi Ya Nei's expression became a little serious, "Mrs. Song is worried that Shen Ruzhuo will know what you have reminded her, and seek revenge. These days, she has become estranged from her a lot. The people in Jiaofang only think that the two have a relationship because of Mrs. Song's birthday party. Even though there was suspicion, Shen Ruzhuo didn't become suspicious either."
"Recently, the third envoy, Master Lin Quanlin, is preparing to hold a banquet. Shen Ruzhuo told Mrs. Song that as long as she can win Lin Jixiang's favor like the night of the Xiaofu's birthday banquet, she might be able to get out of her family." Chi Yanei slumped his shoulders helplessly, Spreading her hands, she said, "Miss Song doesn't know what she's thinking. I've already reminded her before, but she still insists on going."
"Is Lin Sansi the one you mentioned before?" Zhou Ji asked.
"Yes, that's him." Chi Yanei said angrily: "The third division is in charge of the world's wealth and power, and Lin Quan is also known as a strategist. This man is arty and lustful. Most of the women Shen Ruzhuo entrapped were dedicated to this old pervert. play."
"This girl looks cowardly and weak, but deep down she is more paranoid and stronger than her two sisters."
Zhou Ji once again thought of the words that Song Yinzhang often mentioned, sighed lightly, and asked, "When is the banquet?"
Chi Yanei hesitated and said, "Master is planning to go too?"
"Miss Yinzhang has persisted until now alone. If I come forward, what is the effort she has put in these days?"
Zhou Ji walked to the window, raised his eyes to look at the clear blue sky, calculated with his fingertips, frowned and said: "However, it is a bit dangerous for her to deal with Shen Ruzhuo and Lin Sansi personally, and there will be a terrible battle in Bianjing in seven days. The violent storm called disaster, let’s make a plan in that rainstorm.”
Chi Ya Nei was attracted by Zhou Ji's phrase 'storm and rain', and didn't pay attention to the following words at all.
As the first of the 12 trips in Tokyo, the wharf water transportation is also under his control. Although it is extremely hot, it seems that there is no sign of rain.
But out of trust in Zhou Ji, Chi Yanei still quietly wrote down the news, and decided to ask He Si to find someone to patrol the ferry in the city after returning, just in case.
And on the other side.
Time passed day by day, and the deadline for final payment was getting closer and closer.
Zhao Paner ran to the Imperial City Department countless times, and she was full of confidence at first, but now she is a little physically and mentally exhausted.
The entire Imperial City Department insisted that Gu Qianfan hadn't come back yet. In fact, he returned to Beijing privately from the Northland Mission, his wounds were broken along the way, and he was sent to Nanya to recuperate. He is still in a coma.
Sun Sanniang and Ge Zhaodi also thought of various ways, because Ge Zhaodi and Chen Lian broke up, she was embarrassed to go to Chen Lian by herself, and finally Sun Sanniang went to Chen Lian's house to ask, but Chen Lian's mother and two sisters were polite He received her angrily, but they all said they didn't know when Chen Lian would come back.
There are still two days before the deadline for paying the final payment of 600 Guan. If they still don’t have enough money, they won’t even be able to redeem the title deed of the tea house, not only for Mochizuki Tower.
Zhao Pan'er went to the Imperial City Division with the last ray of hope, but was disappointed again.
The night is dark, dark clouds cover the moon.
Sun Sanniang and Ge Zhaodi heard the sound of Zhao Paner pushing the door, and Sun Sanniang hurried forward and asked, "How's it going?"
Zhao Pan'er walked in the courtyard step by step, her shoulders slumped, she completely lost her previous appearance, her face was expressionless, suppressing the pain and resentment surging in her heart, she tried to maintain calm and said: "I have gone wherever I can go, I asked the people in the Imperial City Department, and they said that he is not here, and they don't know when he will be back."
Zhao Pan'er looked at Sun Sanniang and Ge Zhaodi after finishing speaking, her eyes were already faintly red, "Sanniang, Zhaodi, I have troubled you, but I still want to trust Qian Fan for once."
Things have come to this, there is no alternative but to believe.
Sun Sanniang and Ge Zhaodi stepped forward to comfort Zhao Paner, saying that no matter what decision Zhao Paner made, they would follow.
Early the next morning, Zhao Pan'er, who was lucky, still didn't wait for her ATM, no, six hundred coins.
In desperation, Zhao Paner had no choice but to find Boss Tao one day in advance, hoping that he would allow a few more days of grace.
In the days when Zhao Paner went back and forth to revise the contract, Boss Tao lost his patience long ago.
The contract clearly states that if the final payment cannot be made, the contract will be voided.
He is a businessman, and he has no friendship with Zhao Pan'er on weekdays, so he flatly rejected the request to postpone for another seven days, and said in a deep voice: "Ms. Zhao, our Tokyo is not your Qiantang. To do business, you have to follow the contract, black and white, every word." It can’t be bad, if you can’t pay the six hundred guan tomorrow, I’m sorry, then this business will have to fail.”
Negotiations were useless, so Zhao Pan'er could only choose to stop the loss in time, put away her smirk and flattery, sat up straight, and threatened: "Then according to the contract, half of the six hundred crowns we gave you will be refunded." .”
"Miss Zhao, don't worry, since the deed is written, everything will be done according to the deed."
After Zhou Ji's previous reminder, Zhao Pan'er has already revised the terms of refunding the first deposit, but Boss Tao doesn't care at all. Since he can't afford the 600 guan, it's not bad to earn 300 guan. up.
"I still have something to do, Mrs. Zhao can do whatever she wants."
Boss Tao walked away, Zhao Paner could no longer maintain the self-cultivation he had always had, and dropped the teacup angrily, and went to Du Changfeng full of grievances.
The deputy envoy of the imperial city, Gu Qianfan, is missing, and the only son of a wealthy businessman, Chen Lian, has not yet returned from Beijing.
"Miss Zhao, don't worry. Since I am a middle-aged man, I am also responsible for this matter. I still have some money and a house deed at home, so I will go and take it out. What should be borrowed, what should be borrowed, and three hundred It should be fine." Du Changfeng comforted Zhao Pan'er, who was choking and helpless, while helping her find a way.
What is needed for the final payment is 600 guan, even if Du Changfeng sells the house, he only has 300 guan, and the remaining 300 guan is not enough.
Zhao Pan'er's eyes were red, and she choked up and refused Du Changfeng's kindness. Du Changfeng paced anxiously, and said with concern: "If you don't make enough, you have to make it together, otherwise, your tea house and Wangyue Tower are gone. You are here." A trip to Tokyo, wouldn’t it be a dream come true?”
The sentence "A mirrorless flower, a watery moon, and nothingness" was stabbed in Zhao Pan'er's heart.
Isn’t it?
Sold the tea shop in Qiantang, moved all the savings, and found Ouyang Xu Ouyang Xu fled the capital even if his official name was ruined; he sacrificed his body after following Gu Qianfan for so many years casually, and in the end, both people and money were empty
Zhao Pan'er was sad, but helpless.
Du Changfeng hesitated for a moment, wondering whether he should speak or not. Seeing her pitiful appearance, he gritted his teeth and said, "Why don't you go and see Mr. Zhou? They have a very good business in Tongfu Tea House, compared to the famous restaurants in the city. It's not bad at all, it shouldn't be difficult to take out 600 guan."
"Mr. Zhou" Zhao Pan'er's mind flashed an elegant and dignified, confident and proud cold woman from the bottom of her heart. Her complexion was slightly heavy, and she immediately gave up her plan to ask Zhou Ji for help.
However, apart from Zhou Ji, among the people she knew in the capital, there was only one person who could spend three hundred guan at a time.
Someone she had just gotten revenge on not too long ago.
Chipanchi Yamen.
(About the 'hint' part, being in a high position actually implies that there is no need to hint, just reveal a signal, Shen Ruzhuo will take the initiative to curry favor with Shangguan, this is not the first time they have done this kind of thing, Zhang Haohao this point Speak clearly.
Whether it is coercion, self-recommendation, or even drug administration, it has nothing to do with Shangfeng officials.
Don't ask, the question is arranged by the people below on their own initiative. When the matter is revealed, it will be cut off immediately, and how to deal with it. Anyway, the officials on the top peak keep themselves clean and don't know anything. )
