Wanjin Lady

Chapter 138 The duck flew away
Yuan Jing's heart was filled with excitement, feeling that his path to greatness was just around the corner. Even his attempts to comfort Zhu Wang seemed perfunctory. "Don't be angry, Brother Zhu. Let's get the Wen family winery first, and then I'll report to my aunt. As for the mansion, we'll figure it out later... Don't worry, I'll stick to my promise, brother."

Zhu Wang was slightly surprised. "Didn't you just promise Wen Wan that you would never cause trouble for the Wen family again?"

"Brother Zhu, why did you take that woman's words seriously?" Yuan Jing's eyes flashed with ruthlessness. He slowly folded the contract and stuffed it into his sleeve. "Once I get the winery, I'll make her spit out everything, including her and her wealth! If you want to take advantage of me, Yuan Jing, then you'll have to sacrifice your own flesh and blood!"

Zhu Wang felt a little nervous.

He secretly wondered how Yuan Jing, who didn't seem very smart, had managed to snatch the Wen family winery away. Even if Wen Weiming was a fool, he had been in the business world for over twenty years. How could he be defeated by a young boy?
This matter... no matter how I look at it... it seems weird.

Zhu Wang felt uneasy and had already considered retreating. "If it really doesn't work out, then let's retreat. That house... Although it was you who arranged for it to be haunted, but thinking about the deaths there... I still feel unhappy..."

"Wait..." Yuan Jing became more and more confused as he listened, and finally couldn't help but said, "The ghost story... was really not arranged by me..."

The two people stared at each other.

I rely on.

If it wasn't arranged by Yuan Jing, then it would be——

"Damn it!" Zhu Wang's face changed slightly, and his eyelids trembled. "Fuck... Is there really something fishy going on in the Wen family?"

have to.

The Plastic Brothers broke up.

Upon hearing that the Wen family mansion was indeed haunted, Zhu Wang insisted on getting off the carriage and never again set his sights on the mansion.

Yuan Jing symbolically pulled a few times and then let Zhu Wang get out of the car.

Yuan Jing thought: That’s great, Zhu Wang didn’t want this house because he was afraid, so you can’t blame Yuan Jing for breaking his promise in the future!
Zhu Wang thought: That’s great, I finally found an excuse to get out of the fight between the Yuan and Wen families safely.

Win-win.

Yuan Jing returned to the mansion with the documents in his pocket, humming a little tune all the way. Cheng Yunzhang was rarely at home and basically stayed with Old Man Yao, where he felt relaxed and comfortable.

But at the moment, Yuan Jing couldn't find anyone to show off his success to, and he felt uncomfortable all over.

He really wanted to throw the contract in Cheng Yunzhang's face and let Cheng Yunzhang open his eyes and take a good look. Even if he was the reincarnation of Wenquxing, he would make mistakes sometimes!
Yuan Jing happily thought about his future direction. He would first take over the Wen Family Winery, then become the head of Quyuan, and finally grab Yuan Qi's medicinal material procurement business.

Don't think he is stupid!
Everyone said that his father doted on him, the youngest son, the most, but the lucrative job of purchasing medicinal herbs... was given to Yuanqi in the end?

Now that he has taken over the Wen family winery, his father has to make many plans for him because of his hard work and great contributions.

I just hope that old bitch doesn't interfere!

But raising money is the most important thing now!
"Where's Accountant Zhou?" Yuan Jing looked everywhere for him. He couldn't leave his accountant alone when he needed money. "Tell Accountant Zhou to come see me!"

The servants couldn't tell where Accountant Zhou had gone. Yuan Jing thought it didn't matter whether Accountant Zhou was there or not. There were only a few dozen taels of silver left on the account book, so there was no point in calling Accountant Zhou!

He wrote a long letter explaining the current situation and hurriedly called over his nimble servant. "Go! Hurry and deliver this letter to my father without delay. Tell him that this is an urgent matter and there's no time to lose. Ask him to raise money and come to Ping County immediately! Otherwise, the Wen family winery will be taken away by someone else!"

The servant had just fled when he was caught by Accountant Zhou. Accountant Zhou angrily said, "Sixth Master, I heard that you signed a contract with Manager Wen to buy the Wen Family Winery for 3,500 taels?"

Yuan Jing laughed loudly, "You've heard the good news, Accountant Zhou?" Accountant Zhou suppressed his anger, "Three thousand five hundred taels...that's no small sum! How does Sixth Master plan to raise the money?"

"Of course... I'm looking for my father." Yuan Jing said proudly, "I know this price is higher than what we agreed upon, but the Wen family's well is hard to come by. If we miss it, it will be snatched away by Manager Zhao of the Xingyi Winery. My Yuan family is wealthy, so can't we even come up with three thousand taels of silver?"

"Oh my God!" Accountant Zhou cried out in despair. "Sixth Master, why didn't you discuss this with me beforehand when spending such a large sum of money?!"

Yuan Jing was unhappy. As a master, did he need the accountant's approval before spending money?
Accountant Zhou was completely oblivious to Yuan Jing's scowl and continued to retort, "Sixth Master, even if you beg the master, there's no money in our Third House's account book!"

Yuan Jing looked worried. "Accountant Zhou, don't take advantage of my youth and ignorance. The Cheng family winery is doing very well, and the annual dividend is a thousand taels. How can I not be able to come up with a mere three thousand five hundred taels?"

"Sixth Master! You have to see what time it is! The autumn harvest has just passed, and all the money has been spent on buying food and medicinal herbs. Where is the extra money?! A while ago, Fifth Master went to the inland hinterland to collect medicinal herbs and took away several thousand taels of silver from the public account! Where did the money come from now?"

Yuan Jing suddenly stood up and paced anxiously, "What about the private accounts?! I don't believe that after all these years, my father has no savings at all!"

"Sixth Master!" Accountant Zhou was whirling around in a panic. "Madam is in charge of these private accounts. You want to withdraw over three thousand taels? Madam will definitely not agree! It will cause chaos and chaos. She'll definitely start gossiping in the ancestral hall like last year!"

Not to mention Yuan Liulang's wife, who is a spendthrift.

Master Yuan doted on Concubine Chun, and his little pocket money had already been used to supplement Concubine Chun's black hole. Three thousand five hundred taels? Even if Master Yuan was dismantled into pieces and sold like pork, it wouldn't be enough!

"Old thief!" Yuan Liulang was furious. He flicked his sleeve and the teacup fell to the ground, shattering into pieces! "I worked so hard to take over the winery, am I going to be stopped at the last step?"

Yuan Liulang refused to give up and asked with red eyes: "Where is Dad's private money? I don't believe he has not saved any money!"

"This..." Zhou the accountant stammered, "The master bought a house for Aunt Chun's brothers last year, and I'm afraid the money is not easy to use..."

Yuan Jing's butt slumped into the chair!

Yes.

Last year, my daughter cried to her father, saying that her brothers from her natal family did not benefit from her, and that being a concubine brought shame to the family. After some persuasion, my father emptied out his family savings and bought a two-story house for my daughter.

In fact, this courtyard finally fell into the name of my mother.

My father has no money!
Yuan Jing panicked for a moment, and then regretted that he had asked for an additional two cents of interest if the wine shop didn't pay the money within ten days!

Yuan Liulang pulled out the contract in despair, read it over and over again, and then cursed: "Damn it, this bitch's paperwork is so flawless!"

With this document, there is no chance of winning if we go to court!
This isn't a fucking contract at all, it's clearly that bitch's loan sharking!

It’s over.

It’s over.

He is in a dilemma.

Seeing the duck right at my mouth, it's about to fly away——
