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

Chapter 221 Su Xiaoxiao is kidnapped by the Qian family
"Boss Su, you're being too polite. Don't make excuses. I heard that the soybean koji for making soy sauce hasn't been brewed yet, so there's no reason for you to come and help. Please don't refuse me, or I'll lose my temper."

Su Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at him in her mind. He always loses his temper. Does he think he's some prince in a Stephen Chow movie who urinates and defecates anywhere?
"Fine!"

The streets of Chang'an were bustling with activity. Prince Gong excitedly introduced the shop to everyone, saying, "See that, Mr. Su? That shop over there is the one I plan to run for jam in the future."

This shop is located in the heart of Chang'an City's commercial street, with a large flow of customers, making it a truly excellent location.

The shop is quite large, it is indeed a good location. Prince Gong said mysteriously to Su Xiaoxiao, "I took this shop from my mother. There was someone in charge managing it before, but now I'm taking advantage of the opportunity to sell jam to take it back."

Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao quickly cupped her hands and congratulated Prince Gong, saying, "Congratulations, Prince Gong! I didn't expect you to be so willing to support my jam business. Thank you so much, Prince Gong."

"Haha...that depends on whose business it is. As long as it's your business, Mr. Su, I will fully support you."

Qian Musheng, who was standing next to him, cleared his throat and said, "Your Highness, isn't it a bit of a waste to use such a good location just for selling jam?"

Prince Gong's face hardened, and he said seriously, "How could that be? According to you, we should just use them to sell pearls and jewelry or something? Would that make it more sophisticated?"

Qian Musheng quickly cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness Prince Gong is truly wise and far-sighted!"

What else can we say? We can only go along with what Prince Gong said.

Prince Gong excitedly invited Su Xiaoxiao inside and asked her for suggestions on the decoration, as he wanted it to be decorated like the store Su Xiaoxiao owned in Xianglan Ancient Town.

"Here, yes, we need to install a large mirror!"

“Yes,” Su Xiaoxiao said with a smile, “I wonder if Your Highness has any skilled cooks here?”

Prince Gong shook his head. Su Xiaoxiao thought for a moment, then said, "I'll just have to wait until I get back and have the old craftsman make a mirror for Your Highness."

"Is that so? Then I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Su."

"No way, I'm just busy with my own things, it's not a problem at all."

The rest of the shop's decoration was done in the same way as Su Xiaoxiao's jam specialty shop in town. Anyway, with Su Xiaoxiao's guidance, everything should go smoothly, and Prince Gong was not worried about that.

Prince Gong invited Su Xiaoxiao and Liu Qiaomei to a large restaurant for dinner. During the meal, Prince Gong tried his best to show off his charm to the two women.

Although Su Xiaoxiao felt disgusted, she had to suppress the feeling and continue to force a smile in order to cope.

There's no way around it; that's how business is, especially since this person is currently Su Xiaoxiao's largest shareholder.

Su Xiaoxiao handed Prince Gong a rose anti-aging face cream she had brought from home. "This is a face cream I made. Of course, it hasn't been brought to the capital for sale yet, but it's selling quite well in our town. Please take it back to the old princess, Your Highness!"

Su Xiaoxiao did this to apologize for offending the old princess at the Eight Immortals Restaurant.

Prince Gong was very pleased. “I think I’ve heard about it. I didn’t expect you to still remember my mother. Actually, she offended Boss Su quite a bit that time. I apologize to you here.”

Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao quickly explained, "That's all a misunderstanding. This face cream has a good reputation where we're from. You can take it back and try it out. If you find it effective, I'll send it to the old princess in the future."

That's just how women are; if you can fool them with your face, you'll really win their favor.

Although Prince Gong hosted a dinner, he didn't do anything out of line. After all, Su Xiaoxiao was still his business partner, and Prince Gong was quite clear-headed about that. These past few days, Qian Musheng has been responsible for arranging a car to pick up and drop off Su Xiaoxiao every day while she's in the capital.

Moreover, workers have already started working at the workshop. Although they are still in the training phase, Su Xiaoxiao goes there every day to supervise the work.

The method for brewing new soy sauce that Su Xiaoxiao had previously taught the people in charge had begun to show some results. Su Xiaoxiao took a look and saw that the people in charge were doing a pretty good job.

Moreover, the employees under these people in charge have also started making the new soy sauce, and some of them are learning how to do it.

Su Xiaoxiao discovered that the people she had brought out to manage things were quite capable.

When they lecture, they demonstrate the process simultaneously. For example, they are currently making fermented beans, and a large pile of fermented beans is placed in front of them. The person in charge starts by explaining the fermentation time of the beans and even goes through the entire principle of fermentation.

Considering that Su Xiaoxiao would have to continue training the staff here, the workload seemed quite heavy.

Previously, Su Xiaoxiao had Sun Shi to help her, but now Liu Qiaomei is truly incapable. Not only does she lack knowledge in this area, but she is also very shy and timid in front of others, making it impossible to entrust such an important task to her.

What should we do?

Just as Su Xiaoxiao was worrying about this matter, another troublesome thing happened.

Su Xiaoxiao was working in the jam workshop when a group of people rushed in from outside and, without saying a word, immediately took control of her.

At that time, Su Xiaoxiao was alone with Liu Qiaomei. The manager of the soy sauce workshop wanted to rush up and question what was going on.

When he finally saw what the other person looked like, he was stunned.

It turned out that this person was none other than Qian Musheng's older brother, Qian Murong.

As soon as he came in, he said to Su Xiaoxiao, "You're running a jam workshop here. Did Qian Musheng invest money in you?"

Although Su Xiaoxiao didn't know the person in front of her, she didn't deny it.

"Who are you? Why are you trying to control me?"

"I am Qian Musheng's brother, and now my father wants to see you!"

Why do you want to see me?

"Qian Musheng used all of our Qian family's assets to invest in your jam and new soy sauce. My father was furious when he found out about this. You're the one who tricked him into joining, right? I'd like to see what kind of tricks you have up your sleeve, you vixen."

Su Xiaoxiao was speechless with anger, but she was also puzzled. Did Qian Musheng invest money in her without her family's permission?

This was his unilateral decision. Su Xiaoxiao was filled with doubt, but the person had already been taken away.

She said to Liu Qiaomei beside her, "Go back and inform Young Master Qian quickly."
