Start with an antique shop and become rich overnight

Chapter 112 The two people competing secretly

The cool autumn wind blew along the lake shore, and light floated in the water.

After a while, Xu Jiayan sighed softly, his voice full of helplessness, "I understand."

Shen You nodded politely, and the two of them always kept a polite distance between them.

"We're at the parking lot," she reminded, looking at her car.

Xu Jiayan seemed to be hesitating about what to say, but in the end, he said goodbye as usual and promised to send a safety message to the group when he got home.

He watched Shen You drive away slowly before stepping on the accelerator.

He originally thought that Shen You was concerned about his family background, so he always kept his distance and discretion and never took a step forward.

But she said that she herself didn't have that thought.

Xu Jiayan tightened his hands unconsciously on the steering wheel, feeling a little bitter in his heart.

He thought again of Shen You in the restoration workshop, with a serious look on his face. In his hands were antiques that had faded due to oxidation over the years. They looked vivid and alive, and even the maple leaves falling outside the window had lost their color.

With such a straightforward and firm rejection, does he still have a chance?

-

Shen You received a large batch of goods and ordered new pure cotton warm socks.
I bought some cheap knitted gloves online.

In ancient times, wealthy families did not have to work, but they had all kinds of exquisite hot water bottles to warm their hands, as well as leather and brocade gloves.

Ordinary people can't afford them, but the wholesale price of the knitted gloves she prepared is only 2 yuan, so she won't lose money even if she sells them for a few cents.

The main reason for this was that Liu Zheng came to ask if there were any other items that could be afforded by the people working outside in the winter.

Shen You first wholesaled a few hundred pairs to try it out.

As for socks, there were no elastic fabrics in ancient times. The footwear worn by the nobles was comfortable, but the ones worn by the common people were not as warm and comfortable as the ones worn by Pindao.com, which cost 9 yuan for three pairs with free shipping.

She buys it wholesale cheaper.

Shen You also ordered some things that could be used in the [Lancheng] plane through a foreign trade company.

The company prepared all the documents for settlement and gave them to her, and she made the payment after checking that there were no problems.

Of course, the salary and dividends from the company were also paid with the money she transferred.

Shen You specifically told them that the taxes must be paid.

She didn't want to get into trouble and be investigated.

Qi Hang just sent a message, "Sister, it has to be you. The factories have been too competitive in the past two years. The economic benefits were not good to begin with, but you managed to buy up several factories over there."

He knew several people who also said that foreign trade was not as easy to do as it was in previous years, but Miss Shen was actually doing very well in it.

Maintain this important customer well, and you will have plenty of orders in the future!

Shen You made a few polite remarks and thought to herself: Others' foreign trade is overseas, but what she does is across dimensions.

There are so many people in Da Qi who need warm clothes, so they can't be piled up.

This was followed by a message from Mrs. Gu, saying that her friends liked the fabric purchased last time very much and had already collected it together. Several wealthy ladies were also asking when new fabric would arrive.

Shen You thought about it and replied, "It's being knitted over there."

Indeed, while she was handling her work in an orderly manner, her partner in another dimension was also busy.

After selling a batch of goods to the wealthy merchants in the company, they transported the goods to other state capitals.

In less than three days, all the warm clothes and down jackets were sold out.

Because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince dedicated all the merits to the Saint, the court issued a death order to strictly investigate price hikes, hoarding goods and making money at high prices, which is to destroy the merits of the Saint and the person is punishable by death.

If it is related to the merits of a saint, who would dare to cause trouble openly?

In fact, not only King Cheng investigated the source of goods from the Western Regions, but the saint also sent people to investigate it personally.

With such a big business, you will feel more at ease if you hold it in your own hands.

Before the people sent out could find out anything, the Imperial Master sat in his high position and said with a smile that he was cooperating with the merchants from the Western Regions. "Do you want to investigate further?"

When asked this question, the old emperor immediately called back all his confidants and said happily, "It is a blessing for the Great Qi to have the Imperial Master here."

How could the old emperor not understand the meaning of those words?

The national teacher is not an ordinary person, so he cannot find out where these goods from the Western Regions came from.

As long as the people can survive, the Great Qi Dynasty will be stable. Now people are praising his merits.

If he went too far and made the Imperial Master unhappy, that would definitely not be the result he wanted to see.

When other people heard about this, they just thought that this imperial teacher with a mysterious origin, who was suspected to have relied on sorcery to gain power, could actually get things done.

When Li Heng heard the news, it was not the same thing, because he knew who the "Western Region Merchant" was.

Last time he blocked Prince Chu Cheng's plan, and this time he took it on in front of the emperor. If he had nothing to do with this matter, why would he do this?

Could it be that the other party is acquainted with Miss Shen?

He thought that this person who had never been respectful to his father would not help him just because he thought highly of him.

Li Heng, standing outside the palace, had a straight posture and was dressed in gorgeous clothes. Standing against the slightly dark palace walls that had just rained, he exuded the bearing of a nobleman.

Facing the man coming towards her, she couldn't hide the elegance in his lazy manner.

That face was too beautiful, it didn't look like a human, but rather like it was carved out of white porcelain.

No wonder, so many noble ladies in the capital wanted to marry him, and the imperial concubine's mother's family also tried to send someone else.

However, no matter how hard she tried to please him or how hard she tried to get information, she was unable to enter his mansion.

When the two figures passed each other, Li Heng turned slightly and spoke,
"Does the Imperial Master know any merchants from the Western Regions?"

His tone was normal, but his eyes were testing.

"Then the Imperial Master also knows what happened to the goods shipped to Da Qi?"

He was saying that he was the one who was in control of the winter clothing business that left the Liu family and the company.

Those things were given to him by Shen You.

If you know Shen You, you should know this. Thinking of this, Li Heng felt a little secretly happy.

Of course Wen Zhi could hear what Li Heng meant. He was hinting at the relationship between himself and Shen You.

He raised his eyes and glanced at Li Heng, an inexplicable smile appeared on his lips, and there was a hint of coldness in his voice.
"Why, wasn't what I said obvious enough?"

He didn't give a direct answer, and his expression didn't reveal anything.

Li Heng understood that this was an admission that the other party knew of his test and it would be too easy for him to cover it up.

He had no intention of hiding it, but in just two sentences, there was already a hint of tension between the two of them.

The dragon-shaped stone sculpture in the middle, wet by the rain, seemed to be stained with coldness.

Wen Zhi took the oil-paper umbrella handed to him by his follower and walked away.

Li Heng's eyes narrowed slightly. He had never received any news that the Imperial Master had been to Qingshi Lane.

He thought that he was the person who had the closest connection with Miss Shen in Da Qi.

This person's origins are unknown, and all those who know the truth are keeping it a secret. This identity and Miss Shen's magical shop are indeed similar from some angles.

Have they known each other for a long time? What is their relationship?
He thought again of the treasured lanterns in Miss Shen's shop and the day of the temple fair.

Miss Shen has a glass lamp that can be lit without a candle, which is much more precious than a bamboo lantern.

Thinking of this, his whole body stiffened a little.

Li Heng never imagined that Shen You collected lanterns simply because they were handmade, made with traditional craftsmanship, and were exquisitely crafted, making them worthy of collection.
