The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor

 Chapter 324 Someone has an idea and a kind reminder (5)

Seeing that he was less than twenty feet away from the city gate, but among the sea of ​​people, he still could not find the figure he longed to see. Xiao Ruiyuan's eyes darkened, and he looked to both sides unwillingly, his eyes quickly passing over the crowd.

“Coach, is there something wrong?” asked the deputy commander who was half a step behind. His right hand was already on the sword at his waist, and he glanced at the crowd, implying vigilance.

Xiao Ruiyuan suppressed the disappointment in his heart and was about to look away when he caught a glimpse of a familiar face from the corner of his eye. His eyes met those familiar watery eyes. He forgot his words for a moment and a surge of joy swept over him.

And the assistant coach who had not retreated beside him was horrified to find that their ice-faced coach actually smiled... smiled!

Mo Yan stood there blankly, as the sound of horse hooves gradually faded away, her mind was still stuck in that iceberg-breaking smile...

By the time she came to her senses, the man and horse had already left the city gate and could no longer be seen. Mo Yan had no interest in watching what happened next. She walked to another street, called a carriage and went straight to Mipu.

As soon as he walked into Mipu, Mo Yan keenly noticed that Li Zhong's face was very ugly.

Seeing her coming, Li Zhong said quickly: "Girl Yan, there is something I want to tell you. You go and sit in the small room for a while. I will come over after I have made arrangements."

Mo Yan's heart sank. What Grandpa Li was going to say was definitely not simple. Thinking of what Fat Tou Wang said in the morning, she guessed that the matter might be related to that guest.

Sure enough, after Li Zhong explained the matter to Tietou and Wang Fattou, the first thing he said when he came in was: Someone wants to acquire Mipu.

After hearing the whole story, Mo Yan's face turned ugly, "Grandpa Li, what is the background of the Xue family?"

Less than a month after the rice shop opened, the Xue family became jealous and impatient. They couldn't find a way to purchase it, so they directly took out the money and bought her shop. They also expected her to work for the Xue family obediently. It was simply a daydream!

Li Zhong said with a heavy expression: "The Xue family is an imperial merchant. They mainly purchase grain and vegetables for the Tian family. They have a history of several decades. Even in front of the princes and nobles, they can still gain some respect."

Mo Yan was a little confused when he heard this: "Since the Xue family is so powerful, we can't resist if we use coercion and inducement. Why do we just want to acquire our rice shop after just testing it out?"

If it were her, she would send people directly to keep an eye on Mi Pu's every move. It wouldn't take long to follow the clues and find the source of the food. Of course, if the Xue family really did this, she would definitely not dare to transport food from the space and put it in the warehouse.

Although the Xue family's approach to mergers and acquisitions seems to be very gentlemanly, she does not believe that the Xue family is a good bird after being able to sit firmly in the imperial business for decades!

Li Zhong explained: "The Xue family pays great attention to reputation, not to mention that under the emperor's feet, they dare not go too far on the surface, but privately their methods are no weaker than those who bully the market. Mergers and acquisitions are just a cover. If we don't agree, who knows? Will they have any backup plans?"

Mo Yan understood as soon as he heard it. It was nothing more than playing both a good and a bad person. It was said to be a merger. If she agreed, who knew how much money would be given? She couldn't wait for the Xue family to figure out the source of food before kicking them away.

This kind of thing has not happened to her in her previous life, so it is impossible for her to agree to the merger and acquisition.

Seeing that she understood, Li Zhong continued: "The Xue family was also implicated in the previous moldy grain case. If it hadn't been for decades of conspiracy, it has become deeply ingrained. Let alone continue to be an imperial merchant, I'm afraid the Xue family would be gone. . But even so, the Xue family has been severely damaged and has been squeezed out by other imperial merchants. Now, it urgently needs an opportunity to regain the trust of those noble people."
