You were taken hostage, why pursue the Enemy's Empress? Chapter 28 – Don't interrupt, I am self-blaming

"Are you really okay?"

Hua Chao looked Ying Wuji up and down, confird that he was not injured, and breathed a sigh of relief. She had been worried sick on the carriage earlier. If sothing happened to Wuji, her 7,000 taels would be gone for good.

Of course, she was also worried about Wuji getting hurt.

Fortunately, he was fine.

After the two sides stopped fighting, Wuji even let her go and discuss the purchase of the bookstore. They had just finished the negotiation and returned.

Baihu smiled, "Young Master Wuji, since everything is fine now, you can go back. If there are any problems in the future, you can co to the governnt to find us!"

Although the real big shots would not bother with Wuji's small fights, the Jun City governnt and the Flying Fish Guards had reached a consensus that Wuji was the most unstable factor in the relationship between Qianli and Bangjiao. He must be appeased, otherwise, if he flipped the table one day, everyone would suffer.

"No rush!"

Ying Wuji waved his hand, "Today is a coincidence. We just happened to buy a bookstore. Why don't you take care of it for us now?"

Baihu: "..."

Fifteen minutes later, the procedures were completed, and the bookstore was officially transferred. The efficiency was ridiculously high. The group of people left the governnt office happily.

Looking at the backs of the three, a small official exclaid, "I've never seen such an arrogant hostage in my life!"

Baihu's mouth twitched, "Well, you've seen one today!"

...

Shangru Bookstore was located in the south of the city. It was much more remote than several large bookstores, which was one of the reasons for its business decline. Of course, the main reason was not this. The key was that there were not many wealthy families around, and the bookstore was not decorated elegantly enough, which led to an unstable custor base and delayed paynts to the common students.

This vicious cycle made it difficult for business to continue.

Ying Wuji looked around and was quite satisfied. Although the store was small, it had everything it needed, and there was also a decent-sized backyard, which t their needs.

But...

He glanced at Bai Zhi. The little girl had been silent since the fight, and he didn't know what she was thinking.

He smiled and rubbed her head, "What's wrong with you?"

"Young Master, I was too impulsive!"

Bai Zhi held her cheek, full of self-bla, "I only realized later that Ji Su was using provocative tactics. As a result, you weren't provoked, but I got into trouble because of my impulsiveness. If Ji Su wasn't so weak, I really don't know how to face you."

At first, Wuji was still laughing, but his smile disappeared instantly when he heard the latter half of her sentence.

He glared at Bai Zhi, sowhat angry, "Why do you think Ji Su is too weak, instead of being too strong?"

"Young Master, please don't interrupt. I'm blaming myself!" Bai Zhi said.

Wuji: "..."

He really wanted to curse, but he could tell that Bai Zhi was really blaming herself, so he didn't have the heart to bla her again.

Ji Su's follower was only in the Embryo Transformation Realm, but he was only the lowest-ranked seventh-grade spirit embryo.

Although Bai Zhi had not broken through the Embryo Transformation Realm, her essence, energy, and spirit had all broken through eleven levels, coupled with her fierce and cunning swordsmanship, she barely managed to fight him to a draw. If that follower's spirit embryo was even one grade higher, she didn't dare to imagine what would have happened today.

"I won't be impulsive again in the future, Young Master!" Bai Zhi said, raising her head.Ying Wuji smiled, "Good to know. Will you listen to from now on?"

Bai Zhi nodded obediently, "Yes!"

Seeing the little girl's self-bla dissipate, Ying Wuji turned to Hua Chao, "Hua Chao, how did you manage to take over this shop so quickly? How much did it cost?"

Hua Chao smiled, "Not much, one thousand five hundred taels!"

Ying Wuji was shocked, "One thousand five hundred taels is not much? You could have negotiated the price."

Hua Chao sighed lightly, "I was worried about you after you injured the prince from another country. I just wanted to finish the deal quickly and didn't negotiate much. You are too impatient. You even made handle the bookstore's affairs first."

Now her purse was empty, and she was surrounded by a sense of insecurity all day long. But since she had already boarded the thief ship, she could only go all the way to the end.

Whether the boat went straight or sank naturally depended on Ying Wuji's performance.

She hoped he wouldn't disappoint her!

What a stupid woman, she's beyond help!

She rubbed her head and asked, "By the way, Wuji, why is the bookstore completely under my na, but the paper mill that doesn't earn much money is not?"

Ying Wuji's mouth slightly curved, "The paper mill is only the industry of Kingdom Qian. The printing press is not in my hands, so I can't control it. I can't let the embassy control the bookstore, so it has to be under your na."

Hua Chao was slightly startled, but then smiled brightly. She didn't expect Ying Wuji to co up with such a cunning thod in such a short ti.

He arranged everything so thoroughly that what the Great Li and Kato Taka had said was not false.

For a mont, she felt much more at ease.

She looked at Ying Wuji with a half-smile, "Aren't you afraid that your sister will keep all the money and not give you any?"

Ying Wuji waved his hand with a smile, "No, you and I are like siblings. How could I have such thoughts?"

Of course, this was nonsense.

He had long thought about the operating model. He didn't plan to take a stake in the bookstore to avoid leaving any handle. The only way for the bookstore to cooperate with him was to hire workers, and the employnt fee was fifty percent of the net profit. Even if Xun Zhiyin was determined to stop him, he couldn't prevent the prince of his own country from working as a hired worker to earn pocket money as long as the core competitive advantage of movable type printing was in his hands.

So far, he had a good impression of Hua Chao, and he even gave her so bonus points for her tily assistance.

Of course, there was still a long way to go to completely trust her.

As long as Hua Chao didn't do anything to betray him, he could keep making money with her. Otherwise, after he paid off Hua Chao's principal and interest, he would leave with the core technology.

As for movable type printing... this technology was not considered advanced black technology and would eventually be cracked by soone. However, in the short term, those people's efficiency would definitely be very low. If he had that ti, he would have made a fortune and left.

Now, there were only two problems left.

The first was the detailed process. He knew sothing about movable type printing, and even scanned the detailed process in his previous life, but he definitely didn't rember it clearly. However, this problem was easy to solve. He could borrow a waking charm from Wu Shuangxu.

The second problem was more tricky. He wasn't a craftsman, so it would take a lot of effort to create a durable movable type printing. In such an urgent situation, he had to find a group of craftsn who were not only skilled but also honest.He thought for a mont: "Hua Chao, you rest here for a while. Baizhi, you go to the Wu Kingdom Embassy and ask Wu Dan to help contact so trustworthy Mohist craftsn. Tell them I want to hire them with high salary, and the speed must be fast!"

"Okay!"

Baizhi nodded obediently and rushed towards the Wu Kingdom Embassy.

Hua Chao curiously asked: "What about you?"

Ying Wuji smiled and said: "I'm going to the Flying Fish Guards!"
