Chapter 614 The Old Fox’s Proposal

Bai Ruozhu took the post and looked at it. It only mentioned a banquet for the wife and young lady of the Bai family. The time was decided by the Bai family, the place was chosen to welcome guests, and the signature was Mrs. Zheng.

Bai Ruozhu couldn't help laughing, "Why do you choose to welcome guests? It seems that Shen Lu's business is good."

"Isn't that right? Nowadays, most of the banquets in Beiyu City are held at the reception hall. Some people hold banquets at their homes and even book a few tables at the reception hall." Lin Ping'er said enviously.

"When is the time set?" Bai Ruozhu asked with a smile.

"The housekeeper who came to deliver the post was very enthusiastic and kept thanking me. I couldn't resist his enthusiasm, so I decided to wait until noon tomorrow. It is said that the male owner of the Zheng family is not here, so my wife only invited our female family members, and we will join them tomorrow. Let’s go together with Guizhi.” Lin Ping’er said.

Bai Ruozhu nodded, her sister-in-law was still having the baby, so it was best not to go out and walk around casually.

At noon the next day, the mother and daughter of the Bai family went to welcome the guests, and Deng Deng was handed over to Bai Yihong to take care of.

When she saw Mrs. Zheng in the elegant room, Bai Ruozhu couldn't help but be surprised. What a coincidence, she recognized this Mrs. Zheng.

"Miss Bai, we meet again." Mrs. Zheng stood up, greeted Bai Ruozhu with a smile, and then saluted Lin Ping'er, "This is Mrs. Bai, right? If you hadn't reported to the official, I would have been kept in the dark by Diao Nu. It’s in the drum.”

Lin Ping'er hurriedly returned the gift and said, "You are too polite. Why do you know my daughter?"

Bai Ruozhu said with a smile: "Mrs. Zheng is familiar with Sister Hongxiu. When we went to attend the Meng family's banquet, Sister Hongxiu introduced us to her."

"Let's sit down and talk." Mrs. Zheng smiled at the three of them. She looked like she was in her twenties, with an oval face and a pointed chin. She was a standard classical beauty.

The four of them sat down to order, and then quickly started chatting.

"Speaking of which, I failed to take care of the servants in my family, so I let people steal the land deeds and go out to deceive others. Fortunately, I didn't cause any loss to you, otherwise it would be a real sin." Mrs. Zheng said with an apologetic smile, " Originally it was my master's turn to entertain you today, but he happened to have gone to the west on official business in recent months, and I, a female family member, can't invite male guests at home, so I'm really embarrassed."

After hearing this, Lin Ping'er hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's okay, just let's talk."

Bai Ruozhu thought about it carefully. When Yu Hongxiu introduced her last time, she seemed to say that Mrs. Zheng's husband was a military cavalry officer. Did he go to the west to go to the battlefield? Is there going to be a war at the border?

She didn't dare to ask more questions, but she couldn't help but think about the activities of Xuantian Mountain and the Turkic Kingdom, and the disappearance of the four doctors who came to learn suturing techniques from her, which made her feel slightly uneasy.

Mrs. Zheng only knew that Xu Lun took the land deed to deceive people, but was turned away by the Bai family and sent to the government. Later, the government returned the land to the Zheng family, but Mrs. Zheng didn't know the specific process, so she started asking at this moment.

Bai Ruozhu told her everything. When she heard that Xu Lun had colluded with a group of gangsters, her expression changed and she said, "It's really dangerous. Fortunately, the Wu brothers and sisters are with me. I will do it someday." You have to thank them.”

After the meal, Mrs. Zheng got to know the mother and daughter of the Bai family a lot better. Since her husband was not at home and it was inconvenient to move around, Mrs. Zheng invited Bai Ruozhu and the others to visit her house if they had nothing to do, so that she would not be too busy on weekdays. boring.

Before Bai Ruozhu could speak, Lin Ping'er agreed immediately. She felt that staying at home was quite boring on weekdays.

After the meal, Bai Ruozhu and the others said goodbye to Mrs. Zheng and were about to leave, but the shopkeeper came over and whispered to Bai Ruozhu: "Miss Bai, our boss has an invitation."

When Bai Ruozhu heard that Shen Lu was here, she thought that she was probably talking to her about fresh soup noodles, so she said to her mother and Guizhi: "I still have something to talk to the boss here. Why don't you go to the clothing store next door?" , visit the jewelry store, just don’t go too far.”

After saying that, she put a hundred-tael silver note into her mother's hand and said, "Just buy whatever you like, don't treat yourself badly."

Lin Ping'er looked at Bai Ruozhu's hurried away figure and couldn't help but smile and murmur: "Girl, what else can we lack? Nowadays, we really have everything we want. We couldn't even dream of it before."

Fang Guizhi nodded vigorously, "Yes, I don't know how much better it is now than when I was in the village."

Bai Ruozhu had already gone to the backyard of the restaurant, and soon saw Shen Lu. Shen Lu looked at his red face, not only in good health, but also in a good mood.

"Miss Bai, sit down quickly and try my newly brewed tea." Shen Lu said and poured a cup of tea for Bai Ruozhu himself.

Bai Ruozhu picked up the teacup and took a sip, "Thank you, Mr. Shen."

"You haven't been here to deliver goods recently. It's really hard for me to see you." Shen Lu said with a smile.

"I just came to your place to invite friends to dinner a few days ago, but you happened to be away, so we didn't meet up at the same time." Bai Ruozhu said.

Shen Lu stroked his beard and smiled very amiably, "Miss Bai, we have been cooperating for more than a day or two. We are able to welcome guests today thanks to Miss Bai's help. I know how to express gratitude. So after some thought, I decided to give Miss Bai 10% of the stock for welcoming the guests."

The business of welcoming guests is booming, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is making a lot of money every day. This 10% dry stock can earn a large sum of money every month, and it is definitely more dividends than the Du family's profit from selling toothpaste!

However, Bai Ruozhu knew that there was no such thing as a pie in the sky. She took one look at Shen Lu and immediately figured it out. Shen Lu, an old fox, wants to buy out her soup noodles.

With a smile on her lips, she said: "Mr. Shen, let's not talk secretly. I know your intentions, but sooner or later someone will figure out this fresh soup powder, and even the chef in your kitchen may leak it to the outside. Go, then my partner will be meaningless, won’t you suffer a loss?”

"No, no, even if the secret of the fresh soup powder cannot be kept, you, Miss Bai, still have the capital worthy of my cooperation. For example, your fresh orange snow Mei Niang, your weird recipes, and your mind are all It's worth taking this 10% of the shares." Shen Lu said seriously.

Bai Ruozhu couldn't help but glance at Shen Lu. She always felt that working with Shen Lu was much more pleasant than working with the Du family, even though Shen Lu was also an old fox. Because of these words today, her impression of Shen Lu got a little better.

"Shen Laomiu, you should know that I cooperated with the Du family in the toothpaste business, but..." She shook her head helplessly, "I am single and weak, and people thought I was easy to bully, which actually ruined the original relationship. So..." She deliberately lengthened her voice. If she wanted to do business, she would have to cooperate with Shen Lu. Cooperation in business is normal, but she didn't want to meet someone dishonest again.

Shen Lu laughed after hearing this, "To show my sincerity, I can give Miss Bai a big gift."
