Chapter 112 Two people secretly competing
The cool autumn wind blows on the lake shore, and there is light floating in the water.
After a while, Xu Jiayan sighed softly, with helplessness in his voice, "I understand."
Shen You nodded politely, keeping a polite distance between the two.
"The parking lot is here." She reminded as she looked at her car.
Xu Jiayan seemed to be hesitating about what to say, but finally said goodbye as usual and agreed to send a safe message to the group when he got home.
He watched Shen You get out of the car and slowly drove out before stepping on the accelerator.
He originally thought that Shen You was concerned about his family background, so he always kept a distance and measured and never took a step forward.
But she said that she didn't have that idea.
Xu Jiayan's hand on the steering wheel tightened unconsciously, feeling a bit bitter in his heart.
He then thought of Shen You in the restoration workshop, with a serious look on his face. In his hands were antiques that had been oxidized and faded due to time. They were so vivid and vivid that even the maple leaves falling outside the window lattice had lost their color.
With such a straightforward and firm rejection, does he still have a chance?
——
Shen You received another large batch of goods and ordered new pure cotton warm socks,
I bought some cheap knitted gloves online.
In ancient times, wealthy people did not have to work, so they had all kinds of exquisite Tangbaozi, hand warmers, and gloves made of leather and brocade.
Ordinary people couldn't afford it, but the wholesale price of the knitted gloves she prepared was only 2 yuan, so she wouldn't lose even if she sold them for a few yuan.
This was mainly because Liu Zheng came over and asked if there were any other items that could be afforded by the people who worked outside in the winter.
Shen You first wholesaled a few hundred pairs to try.
As for socks, there were no elastic fabrics in ancient times. The footwear worn by nobles was more comfortable, while the ones worn by commoners were not as warm and comfortable as the 9-for-a-dozen knives with free shipping for three pairs.
It's cheaper for her to buy wholesale.
Shen You also ordered some things that were useful in the [Lancheng] plane through a foreign trade company.
The company provided her with the settlement information, and she paid after seeing that there were no problems.
Of course, the company's wages and dividends are paid with her money.
Shen You specifically told the other side that the taxes that should be paid must be paid.
She didn't want to cause trouble and get investigated.
Qi Hang just sent a message, "Sister, it has to be you. The factory has been too busy in the past two years. The economic benefits were not good, so you just consolidated several factories there."
Several people he knew also said that foreign trade was not as easy to do as in previous years, and Miss Shen actually did a great job.
If you maintain this big customer well, you will have many orders in the future!
Shen You said a few polite words and thought to herself: Others do foreign trade, but she does cross-dimensional trade.
There are so many people in Daqi who need clothes to keep out the cold, but they don't just have to be bundled up.
This was followed by a message from Mrs. Gu, saying that her friend liked the fabric last time and had collected it together. There were also several rich ladies asking when new materials would come.
Shen You thought for a while and replied, they are weaving over there.
Indeed, while she was handling her work in an orderly manner, her partner from another dimension was also busy.
Since a batch of goods was shipped to the wealthy merchants in the trading house, they have shipped the goods to other state capitals.
In less than three days, all the thermal clothes and down jackets were sold out.
Because His Royal Highness the Prince dedicated all his merits to the saint, the imperial court issued a death order and strictly investigated the price hikes. Hoarding goods at high prices to make money was destroying the saint's merits and deeds, and his heart should be punished.
If it has anything to do with the merits of a saint, who would dare to cause trouble openly?
In fact, not only King Cheng checked the origin of the goods from the Western Regions, but the saint also personally sent people to check.
For such a big deal, it is more secure to hold it in your own hands.
Before the people sent out could find anything, the Imperial Master sat in a high position and made it clear with a half-smile that he was cooperating with the merchants from the Western Regions. "Do you want to continue investigating?"
When asked this question, the old emperor immediately summoned all his confidants and said happily, "It is a blessing for Qi to have the Imperial Master here."
How could the old emperor not understand what he meant?
The Imperial Master is not an ordinary person. How the goods from the Western Regions came from is not clear.
As long as the people can survive, the country of Daqi will be stable. Nowadays, the people are praising his merits.
If you go too far and make the Imperial Master unhappy, it is definitely not the result he wants to see.
When other people heard about this, they only thought that this national preceptor, who had a mysterious origin and seemed to have gained great power through witchcraft and deception, was actually capable of doing real things.
That's not the case when the news fell to Li Heng's ears. He knew who the 'Western Region Businessman' was.
Last time, he blocked King Idemagi's plan, but this time he won it in front of the emperor. If he had nothing to do with it, how could he do this?
Is it possible that the other party knows Miss Shen?
He believed that it was impossible for this person, who had never been respectful in front of his father, to help because he thought highly of himself.
Standing outside the palace, Li Heng had an upright posture and was dressed in fine clothes. Under the slightly dark palace walls that had just rained, he looked like a nobleman.
Facing the man coming towards me, it couldn't overshadow the elegance of his lazy demeanor.
That face was so beautiful that it didn't look like a human being. Instead, it looked like it was carved out of white porcelain.
No wonder, many famous ladies in the capital wanted to marry him, and the concubine's mother's family also tried to marry him.
However, no matter whether they wanted to please or seek information, they could not enter his mansion.
When the two people missed each other, Li Heng turned slightly sideways and spoke,
"Does the Imperial Master know businessmen from the Western Regions?"
His tone was ordinary, but his eyes were tentative.
"Does the Imperial Master also know what happened to the goods shipped to Daqi?"
He was saying that he was the one behind the cold-weather clothing business that came out of Liu Jiahe Trading Company.
Those things were given to him by Shen You.
If you know Shen You, you should know this. Thinking of this, Li Heng felt a little secretly happy in his heart.
Of course Wen Zhi could tell what Li Heng meant, and wasn't it alluding to his relationship with Shen You.
He raised his eyes and glanced at Li Heng, with an unknown smile on his lips and a bit of coldness in his voice,
"What, what I said wasn't obvious enough?"
He didn't give a direct answer, and the look on his face showed nothing.
Li Heng understood that this was an admission that the other party knew about his temptation and it would be too easy to cover it up.
He had no intention of covering it up, but within two words, there was already a slight smell of gunpowder between the two of them.
The dragon-shaped stone sculpture in the middle, which was wet with rain, seemed to be covered with coldness.
Wen Zhi took the oil-paper umbrella from his entourage and walked away.
Li Heng's eyes narrowed slightly. He had never received any news that the Imperial Master had been to Qingshi Lane.
He thought that he was the person who had the closest connection with Miss Shen in Daqi.
The origin of this person is unknown, and all insiders keep it secret. This identity is indeed similar to Miss Shen's magical shop in some aspects.
Have they known each other for a long time? What's the relationship?
He thought again of the lanterns collected in Miss Shen's shop and the day of the temple fair.
Miss Shen has a glass lantern that can be lit without lighting a candle, which is infinitely more precious than a bamboo lantern.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but stiffen a little.
Li Heng never thought that Shen You collects lanterns just because they are purely handmade products, traditional craftsmanship, and exquisitely made, so they are worth collecting.
