The Female Assistant of Wei Yuyan Shuangfei
Chapter 137 Meeting (2)
In the guest room, several people met each other one after another.
Xiang Lin, the chief escort of Fuwei Escort Agency, Jiang Keqing, the manager of the restaurant, Yang Shuo, the head of Huichun Hall, Shen Congyun, the head of the grain merchant, Zhao Ze, the head of Jinxiufang, and Qi Tai, the owner of Huitong Money House.
The chief manager Gu Chong, who had an overall view of the situation, followed closely behind.
Just as several people were greeting each other, Yang Shuo, who was over 70 years old, walked up to Xie Shuting.
Everyone looked at the old man and the young with strange expressions, totally not understanding what Yang Shuo was trying to do at the moment.
Xie Shuting also noticed Yang Shuo's suspicious look, and quickly walked over to him, bowed and said, "Hello, Mr. Yang."
"Yeah!~"
Yang Shuo nodded, then looked at Xie Shuting's face again, and asked with a hint of doubt between his brows: "Have we met before?"
Xie Shuting hesitated for a moment and didn't know how to answer. If she said she knew him, she did have a chance encounter with him in childhood. If she said she didn't know him, Huichuntang wouldn't be what it is today.
Seeing that his young lady was in a difficult situation, Lian Yue hurriedly came forward and said slowly, "Mr. Yang! How could you possibly know Miss...Xie?"
"Your last name is Xie?" Yang Shuo asked with a frown.
"My surname is Xie, my given name is Wei Yu, and my maiden name is Shu Ting. I think I should have met Mr. Yang before." Xie Shu Ting bowed.
Everyone was confused. What kind of answer was this? What did it mean by "I should have seen it before"?
On the other hand, Yang Shuo's eyes sparkled, and his originally old face suddenly showed endless spirit. He asked excitedly: "In the fourteenth year of Jingyun, have you ever been to Qianjiang?"
Upon hearing this, Xie Shuting thought to herself that as expected, the other party looked old, but he still remembered what happened back then clearly.
Little did people know that Xie Shuting's decision not only saved Huichuntang, but also allowed Yang Shuo to truly follow his ancestors' medical training.
"I went to Qianjiang with my old servant in the past."
"What's the old servant's name?" Yang Shuo stepped forward excitedly, holding Xie Shuting's hand and asking repeatedly.
If Yang Shuo was not over 70 years old, Lian Yue would not be able to withstand such an overstepping action.
"Hey!~"
Xie Shuting sighed softly and patted Yang Shuo's hand, fearing that her next words would scare Yang Shuo.
Feeling Xie Shuting's movements, Yang Shuo also realized that something was wrong, and quickly withdrew his hand, saying apologetically: "I was too excited just now, please..."
"Mr. Yang! What are you doing here today?" Xie Shuting interrupted Yang Shuo repeatedly.
"Invited to attend the annual meeting of Lianjia merchants."
As soon as Yang Shuo finished speaking, a guess suddenly occurred in his mind, and he subconsciously said: "You..."
"Just as you guessed in your heart, please take a seat and we will talk slowly."
As Xie Shuting spoke, she supported Yang Shuo and walked towards the side hall. Gu Chong followed closely behind Xie Shuting, staying by her side.
There were thirteen chairs placed in the side hall, and everyone stood in their seats in turn, but the main seat was empty.
In previous years, Xie Shuting did not show up at the year-end banquet, but only asked Lian Xi to pass on the message. Although the two sides were only separated by a wall, they did not know each other.
However, the layout of today's meeting, not only does it not have a side room, it doesn't even have a screen.
At this moment, everyone had some guesses in their hearts, but when they thought of Xie Shuting's age, they all shook their heads and denied their thoughts.
Xie Shuting slowly helped Yang Shuo to sit on the chair, and then walked towards the main seat. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Xie Shuting's action had already revealed her identity.
"No way!" Xiang Lin muttered to himself, with a hint of fear in his panic-stricken look.
Yang Shuo and Jiang Keqing had already guessed Xie Shuting's identity from just a few words, but at this moment their expressions showed a hint of calmness.
After the few people sat down, Xie Shuting winked, and Lian Xi understood and took out a thumb-sized jade seal from her bosom and placed it on the table.
Everyone just took a look at the seal, and the last bit of speculation in their minds also dissipated.
"I think you are all very curious about my identity. Now that you have seen this seal, I think you will no longer have any doubts."
As soon as Xie Shuting finished speaking, Lian Yue stood up first, bowed and saluted, saying, "Lian Yue, the owner of the Lotus Tower, greets the head of the family."
Qin Keqing followed suit and stood up, saluted and said, "I am Jiang Keqing, the head shopkeeper of the Lian Family Chamber of Commerce Restaurant. I greet the master."
"I, Yang Shuo, greet the Patriarch."
Yang Shuo stood up tremblingly. He was about to salute, but Xie Shuting raised her hand to stop him and said, "Mr. Yang! You are old, and you know I don't care about these empty formalities. Please take a seat quickly."
Gu Chong, who was standing by, hurriedly stood up and helped Yang Shuo back, then bowed to Xie Shuting and said, "Gu Chong, the head of the Lian Family Chamber of Commerce, greets the head of the family."
The atmosphere was already like this, Xiang Lin, Qi Tai, and Zhao Ze also hurriedly stood up to salute, fearing that if they were half a step late, they would be treated differently by the head of the family.
Xie Shuting nodded slightly, glanced at everyone and said, "Thank you all for your hard work in making the Lian Family Chamber of Commerce what it is today."
"It's not hard, it's not hard." Everyone waved their hands.
People cannot escape the pursuit of fame and fortune throughout their lives. The nine of them also have their own needs. Xie Shuting just gave them a stage to show their talents.
Gu Chong, Qi Tai and Zhao Ze were after money, but now they are no longer short of money, what they lack is fame.
Xiang Lin's escort agency was already struggling to survive. If it weren't for Xie Shuting's help, it would have been disbanded long ago.
Jiang Keqing was a prostitute, and her question "Why can a woman only live in bed?" was supported by Xie Shuting.
Unexpectedly, her achievement also made Xie Shuting feel gratified. She had never thought that Jiang Keqing could develop the restaurant so well.
As for Yang Shuo, the only one who did not aim for profit, it was with the help of Xie Shuting that Huichuntang flourished throughout the Song Dynasty.
Even some medical insights benefited Yang Shuo greatly. His medical attainments improved all the way and he almost surpassed the ancestors of the Yang family.
As for Lian Yue, it was only for the sake of repaying the favor.
Yang Shuo calmed down a little, looked at Xie Shuting with suspicion and said: "Xie... Patriarch, were you the one who made the decision about Huichun Hall back then, or..."
"I." Xie Shuting responded calmly.
"You were only three years old at that time, this..." Yang Shuo didn't know how to describe it for a moment, and the words were hard to put into words.
"Mr. Yang! The head of the family is very young and precocious."
Lian Yue said this, glanced at everyone, and changed the subject: "Except for Shopkeeper Jiang and Wang Lang who didn't come, who was taken in by the patriarch later, I won't say much about the others, you should all know."
This bombshell was so explosive that the scene fell silent in an instant, and everyone was wondering when Xie Shuting had appeared in front of them.
Unfortunately, after some recollection, they all shook their heads in distress, looked at each other and stopped talking.
Xie Shuting did not intend to share with them the joy of their encounter and the gratitude they showed her. After all, the old servant of the Xie family who had represented her at that time had passed away several years ago.
