Chapter 209 Giving Gifts
There were complex emotions in Manager Wang's eyes, gratitude and guilt intertwined.
"Ma'am, I'm so, so sorry."
His words were full of self-blame.
"Just rest assured and take care of yourself. Leave the rest to us."
Ran He comforted her again, her eyes firm, as if no difficulties could stop her determination.
Waking up at this moment does not seem abrupt nor too late, as if everything is the best arrangement.
Walking out of the room, Ran He inadvertently caught a glimpse of the medicine furnace in the yard where medicine was boiling. She quietly added a drop of diluted spiritual spring water.
This is a rare item she obtained from a secret place in the mountains, and it has miraculous effects on healing wounds.
He ordered Mo Zhu to carefully watch the temperature and ensure that the medicine was at its most effective before letting Manager Wang take it.
This bowl of medicine containing spiritual spring water can at least heal Manager Wang's injuries by 20% to 30% and greatly relieve his pain.
There was a sudden knock on the gate, breaking the tranquility of the early morning.
Ma Zhi frowned and opened the door with a puzzled look. When he saw the person outside the door, he immediately recognized the other person's identity and his brows couldn't help but lock even tighter.
"You are not welcome here, please leave."
Ma Zhi's voice was calm and indifferent, trying to make his position clear.
The Xu family's servant seemed to have anticipated his cold reaction. His expression did not change at all, and he said directly: "I'm not here to see you."
There was a hint of disdain in his eyes, as if he was silently questioning Ma Zhi: Are you overthinking?
"I'm here to talk to the head of Wu's firm about something."
His words were concise and purposeful.
Ma Zhi was aroused with dissatisfaction by this contemptuous attitude, but thinking that the other party was looking for Ran He and Wu Xu, it was not easy to expel them directly. He could only suppress his anger and let the servant enter the yard.
As soon as the Xu family servant saw Ran He and Wu Xu, his face was immediately filled with professional smiles, and his voice was enthusiastic: "You two must be the head of the Wu family and Mrs. Wu. I am from the Xu family's business. Today, I specially follow the instructions of my young master and sincerely invite the two distinguished guests to Zuixianlou for a small gathering. I hope you can do me the honor."
Mo Zhu politely took the invitation from his hand, gently unfolded it, and handed it to Wu Xu.
Wu Xu glanced at it casually. The handwriting on the invitation was neat and elegant, revealing the host's meticulousness.
"We'll be there on time tomorrow."
A hint of surprise surged in Ran He's heart, but in a flash, her thoughts flowed as smoothly as water, and another speculation quietly took shape in her mind.
Before she opened her mouth, Yan Ba at the side spoke first, his voice steady and powerful: "Madam, I found some of the missing cloth in the warehouse of Fugui Commercial Bank."
"Who does that cloth belong to?"
Ran He's question was concise and direct.
Yan Ba explained in detail: "They were lying quietly in a corner of the Fugui Commercial Bank's warehouse. Unfortunately, only a part of them remained. The rest were said to have been sold two days ago. The number just matched the number we lost."
Fugui Commercial Bank, this prosperous place standing in the commercial heart of the county, is not only the pride of the Wang family's industry, but also an indispensable member of the Zhiyun Chamber of Commerce.
---
Zuixianlou is the largest and most luxurious restaurant in Zhiyun County, and celebrities and dignitaries come and go every day.
After the waiter carefully checked the invitation, he led the two of them up the stairs to the private room on the third floor with a smile.
"Please wait a moment. Mr. Xu is busy with official business at the moment and will come to greet you soon."
The waiter was very respectful. He served carefully prepared tea and exquisite snacks, then considerately closed the door and left.
In the room, Ran He's eyes moved around, examining the surroundings carefully.
The elegant room is exquisitely decorated, and the screen made by a famous craftsman is particularly eye-catching. The vivid patterns on it seem to give the space a soul, and silently demonstrate the extraordinary taste and luxury of Zuixianlou.
“This screen is really unique.”
Ran He commented casually.
Wu Xu glanced at her with a hint of admiration in his eyes. "The painting of the ladies is from Fang Jing's hand. It is indeed a masterpiece. However, it is a bit of a waste to put such a masterpiece in a restaurant. Yan'er, the tea here is not bad. The weather has been dry recently. Have a few sips to moisten your throat."
Wu Xu handed her the slightly cooled tea, his action revealing meticulous care.
"What do you think is Xu Mo's purpose in summoning us?"
Ran He asked casually, but a gleam of insight into the world flashed across his eyes.
As the old saying goes, one never visits someone for no reason. The two parties usually have no contact with each other, so there must be a purpose for the invitation at this moment.
"I guess they want to get us to join the Chamber of Commerce."
There was a hint of certainty in Wu Xu's tone.
Ran He raised a faint smile: "This move is not clumsy."
Mo Zhu, who was standing aside, had a confused look on his face, and it was obvious that he had not fully followed the two's train of thought.
"Why can't I figure out the connection?"
Mozhu was puzzled but said nothing. Instead, Xichun interrupted and said:
"You will soon understand."
Ran He pretended to be profound, with a mysterious smile flashing between his eyebrows.
The development of the situation is actually not difficult to guess.
As the leader of the Zhiyun Chamber of Commerce, Xu Mo is naturally the one who most hopes that the Chamber of Commerce will be able to go smoothly. However, their appearance is like a stone thrown into a calm lake, bound to create waves.
After all, they are the first group of people who have broken the rules of the Chamber of Commerce and are still able to thrive, which is undoubtedly an ominous sign for the Chamber of Commerce.
To prevent more businesses from following suit, the most direct way is to remove this thorn in the eye.
Let’s start with Majia Village, kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, and serve as a warning to those small business operators.
As for Wu Xu and Ran He, the countermeasures were more direct - invite them to patronize the Chamber of Commerce and provide a batch of high-quality and low-priced goods. Everything was just superficial, just to show off to outsiders.
When the time is right, the Chamber of Commerce will truly reveal its cards and demonstrate its capabilities.
I have to admit that Xu Mo's chess game was both clever and far-reaching.
A quarter of an hour passed quietly, and Xu Mo himself had not yet appeared, but a servant entered the private room carrying several plates of fresh fruits that were quite rare on the market.
"Master Xu has instructed that you two enjoy your meal. Master Xu is on his way."
The servant said apologetically.
Wu Xu waved his hand, looking nonchalant: "It's okay."
The servant withdrew respectfully and walked into the next room.
There, a handsome young man was leisurely sipping tea, with an account book spread out beside him, looking calm and composed.
"Master, the stuff has been delivered."
The servant reported respectfully.
Xu Mo raised his eyelids slightly and asked calmly, "How did they react?"
The servant recalled for a moment and replied, "You two looked calm and composed, and didn't seem unhappy at all."
Hearing this, Xu Mo's eyes flashed with interest: "Oh? Really?!"
The servant nodded heavily to confirm that it was correct.
Xu Mo waved his hand, signaling the servant to leave, and then asked Xu Cong beside him softly: "Xu Cong, do you think they are pretending not to care, or do they really not care?"
