Chapter 838: 908: A great rchant from Qingfeng Prefecture
Liang Shujun silently contemplated her next move.
Suddenly, a stern shout ca from the outside, "Who!?"
Although Hong Fei had been dispatched by Shujun to escort Luo Yang and Gao Jian, the others were left behind.
At this mont, a female soldier fiercely glared at the person outside the courtyard, a disheveled female drunkard.
She, in her drunken state, quickly put on a smile and said, "Hehe, hehe, my lady, don’t be angry, okay? I’m here to find soone, I’m a good person, yeah!"
Just then, the drunkard saw Liang Shujun and hurriedly said, "Phoenix Blood, co quickly! The people from your household have really scared
to death!"
Liang Shujun couldn’t help but suppress a chuckle, "Sister Li, what’s this all about?"
"Ah, didn’t you ask us to keep an eye out for you? Last night, soone ca out from He Mansion, and they are now hiding inside Sunji Dim Sum Shop."
Shujun’s lips curved subtly, "You’ve worked hard, Sister Li."
She fished out a few copper coins, and the Li surna drunkard, having obtained an advantage, imdiately beca overjoyed, exclaiming that if there were any more such good tasks next ti, Shujun should look for her and not forget about her.
Shujun nodded and promised, then smiled as she sent off the drunkard with the surna Li.
"Shujun?"
The young mistress stumbled out of the room, drowsily yawning. Shujun turned to look at his wife and broke into a warm smile, "Awake? Perfect timing, I had soone buy the tofu pudding from the alley’s end shop for , it’s really delicious, still nice and hot."
Inside the small courtyard, life was very comfortable, but in the following days, the outside world was turbulent.
Sunji Dim Sum Shop was one of He Su’s properties, and although Tie Hailan thought Taihang Town was not safe, He Su did not want to leave.
Although she had so businesses elsewhere, they could not compare to the foundation she had in Taihang Town. She couldn’t bear to leave this small town.
She reviewed the account books and found that the business of her shops was not doing well, significantly worse compared to before.
She was determined to make a strong coback, but just at this ti, so previously unknown small shops suddenly erged and brazenly challenged her, snatching away all her custors.
She beca resolved, deciding to engage in a price war. For example, the Sunji’s pastries were priced lower and lower, but what was strange was that, although she sold them cheaper than the competitor, only a handful of penny-pinching custors ca to her shop. The rest beca die-hard fans of the rival.
She was at a complete loss and thus had Tie Hailan’s coachman help her buy so items from the rival shops. Such items included the Dragon Beard Candy from a pastry shop, wooden hairpins from a jewelry shop, and various other trinkets.
She tasted the rival’s pastries, and indeed, there was sothing exceptional about them—they were sweet but not cloying, and lted in the mouth. She then looked at the miscellaneous items and felt an odd sensation.
The coachman said, "I’ve inquired around, and those shops had found soone to collaborate with. It’s said that this person ca from Qingfeng Prefecture and is a major rchant there, quite renowned!"
He Su frowned, "I feel that this person is targeting
specifically. Whatever I sell, he also sells, and even does it better. His appearance has disrupted Taihang Town’s established order for many years. Do you know who this person is? Could they harbor a grudge against ?"
There were many enemies in the business world, and He Su had also used so unscrupulous tactics, but though she had wronged others, those others didn’t dare to wrong her.
