After transmigrating into the body of a widow, I became the richest man in the capital.

Chapter 143 Su Xiaoxiao catches the eye of Prince Gong

However, Su Xiaoxiao did not blame herself for anything. In the first place, Su Xiaoxiao helped Liu Zian not because of Granny Wang. If it were because of Granny Wang, Su Xiaoxiao probably would not have bothered with other people's business.

Qian Musheng has already started importing Su Xiaoxiao's jam into the Baxianlou restaurant in Beijing. However, the locals don't really like eating raw fish, so there aren't many places where jam is used.

You can't expect people in the capital to eat steamed buns with jam every day; that would be somewhat unreasonable.

The two were having breakfast at the Eight Immortals Restaurant and discussing this matter when the curtain outside was lifted and a very elegantly dressed man walked in and sat down in front of Su Xiaoxiao and Qian Musheng.

This place seems to be as casual as his home, but who is this person? Logically speaking, this private room is actually Qian Musheng's private space, and his subordinates would not enter without Qian Musheng's orders.

Behind him, the small table and stool looked at Qian Musheng with innocent expressions.

"Young master, we really can't stop them."

Qian Musheng waved his hand at the two men, signaling them to step back.

He glanced at the man, then stood up and bowed to him.

"Prince Gong, how come you have time to come to my humble abode without giving me any prior notice?"

The person Qian Musheng was speaking to was actually Prince Gong, the current emperor's cousin, which Su Xiaoxiao really didn't expect.

But this guy has a face that looks like he's been indulging in too much sex. Even though his looks are passable and he looks quite decent, his eyes are just too lewd.

His gaze lingered on Su Xiaoxiao's face and key parts of her body for a long time, and Su Xiaoxiao found that gaze extremely disgusting.

However, when she realized that this person was Prince Gong, she did not dare to show it too much. Instead, she chose to observe Qian Musheng's behavior. When she saw Qian Musheng bow, she also bowed.

Who is this woman?

Upon seeing this, Qian Musheng quickly introduced her to Prince Gong: "This is Su Xiaoxiao, she makes jam, and we are business partners."

Unexpectedly, Prince Gong reacted quite dramatically, slapping his thigh and saying, "Oh, so she is Su Xiaoxiao, Boss Su. It's true that seeing is believing."

Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao wondered what it meant.
Suddenly I remembered that I had met Prince Gong's mother a few days ago when she was in their town, because of the new soy sauce.

Prince Gong's mother wanted Su Xiaoxiao to sell her the soy sauce recipe, but the deal fell through and Su Xiaoxiao embarrassed her.

I really didn't expect to run into Prince Gong in the capital.

It seems that Prince Gong and Qian Musheng had some connection. In fact, these celebrities also had private gatherings, and they got to know each other over time.

Prince Gong was actually quite shrewd in business. In order to open up foreign markets, he had previously cooperated with Qian Musheng in business. They got to know each other through their previous cooperation.

Based on this relationship, Su Xiaoxiao felt that Prince Gong was not someone she could completely offend.

After all, the desire to expand overseas trade still required the strong support of Prince Gong.

"I heard about Boss Su's situation. I didn't expect that we would have such a connection."

He said he came over from behind, as if he wanted to shake hands with Su Xiaoxiao.

As a result, Qian Musheng interrupted them from the middle and stopped them.

"Is there anything I can do for Prince Gong's visit today?" "Well, I'm here about the recipe for the new soy sauce. Boss Su is here too, so I'd like to discuss a potential collaboration."

It turns out he hadn't given up; it seems he really wouldn't give up until he achieved his goal.

"We can discuss this matter later, but today I would like to talk about the export trade of jam. Please forgive me, Prince Gong."

Just then, a new waiter brought in a plate of wontons. Perhaps because he was new, he wasn't very familiar with the job. Meanwhile, the people sitting in the room were all important figures, including Prince Gong and the second young master of the Qian family, the major shareholder of their restaurant. How could they not be nervous?
As he passed by Su Xiaoxiao, he suddenly stumbled and poured a bowl of wontons, soup and all, over Su Xiaoxiao's head.

Su Xiaoxiao didn't notice the young waiter. Her mind was completely focused on the new soy sauce recipe that Prince Gong had mentioned again. She wondered if this guy hadn't given up yet.

If they set their sights on it, my new soy sauce recipe will inevitably fall into the hands of these powerful and wealthy people sooner or later.

Su Xiaoxiao was a little terrified and didn't know what to do. On the contrary, Prince Gong, who was beside her, waved his folding fan and blocked the spilled soup.

This "hero saves the beauty" move was indeed executed beautifully; not a single drop of soup spilled on Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiaoxiao quickly got up; the young waiter was terrified.

He immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, but Su Xiaoxiao said it was okay.

Prince Gong used this move very cleverly, and besides his less-than-ideal demeanor, he was quite good-looking.

In a TV series, wouldn't this be a classic love-at-first-sight scene, with the male lead showcasing his handsome and charming side?

Gong Qinwang smiled at Su Xiaoxiao and asked, "How are you, Boss Su? Are you alright?"

Su Xiaoxiao quickly replied, "It's okay, I didn't get wet."

Prince Gong seemed very enthusiastic and interested in Su Xiaoxiao. His mother had once told him that Su Xiaoxiao was very shrewd, a beautiful and intelligent woman who was not easy to deal with.

Upon seeing it today, it is indeed true; with such a figure, Prince Gong unconsciously licked his lips.

Su Xiaoxiao doesn't give off a particularly stunning first impression, but her beautiful eyes seem to speak volumes, making you feel that this woman must have many stories behind her.

It was like a curse, leaving a mark on Prince Gong's heart. Even now, he can hardly forget a single image of Su Xiaoxiao.

He was quite unhappy to see Qian Musheng constantly surrounding Su Xiaoxiao.

"If one could have such a woman as a wife, that would be enough."

His statement at the time implied that he intended to make advances towards Su Xiaoxiao, which was quite worrying. Qian Musheng, of course, understood Su Xiaoxiao's intentions.

Just how much of a womanizer was Prince Gong? How many women had he ruthlessly ruined? Didn't Qian Musheng know the extent of his misdeeds?

Of course he knew, but this person was not someone he could afford to offend, and he was no ordinary person.

At this moment, the person had already arrived beside Su Xiaoxiao and seemed very interested in her, which made Qian Musheng quite scared.

The waiter was terrified. Prince Gong was just about to unleash his power and punish the waiter to vent Su Xiaoxiao's anger and show off his authority when Qian Musheng waved his hand at the waiter and said, "You can go now! This is none of your business."

Upon hearing this, the young waiter was so frightened that he scrambled to his feet, but he was also very grateful for the kindness of his master, Qian Musheng.
