330 Invitation
This was the golden opportunity that Zhao Zhan wanted.
“The more Lin Chenzhi makes these things sound expensive, the more we have to push them to the homes of ordinary people.”
Whether it was tofu or pickled vegetables, the cost will then become extremely low.
Zhao Zhan had been hesitating before, but now that the Zhang family was here, he had less to worry about.
Lin Chenzhi wanted to sell the item at a high price.
He was going to bid for these things and sell them as if they were common carrots and vegetables.
Zhao Zhan had the four followers he had brought from Willow Village appear, while he and Fang Tianliu hid behind the scenes.
In the Lin family.
Lin Chenzhi could be seen smashing the things in his room to pieces.
“You still haven’t found out who’s behind this force that appeared out of thin air?!”
“Zhao Zhan and Fang Tianliu were chased by Shang and me like stray dogs, he definitely wouldn’t have the time to do such a thing! Who was it? Who found the Zhang family?!”
The Zhang family was simple and low-key, but they were not to be trifled with.
Even though the Lin family used silver to resist the County Magistrate’s oppression, they still had a lot of work to do. As long as the Lin family showed the slightest sign of decline, they would definitely be swallowed up by the County Magistrate!
With a wolf in front and a tiger constantly staring down Lin Chenzhi’s neck, he broke out in a cold sweat and his throat was dry.
Madam Yan rushed into the room from the courtyard, almost hitting her foot with the things Lin Chenzhi had thrown.
“Why are you so angry?” Madam Yan ordered the servants to tidy up the things on the ground. She walked to Lin Chenzhi and took out a handkerchief to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.
“Or are you upset about what happened on the street?”
“Mother! Those people are obviously targeting our Lin family! How can I not care? If the Lin family collapses…”
Lin Chenzhi didn’t dare to think further.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was spending money like it was water. For the things sold in the restaurant, the most expensive thing was the escort fee, not the item itself.
Even so, he could still make a profit off of it, but it would not sum up too much.
If such a profitable thing was gone, it would be no different from him being stabbed in the heart.
“You don’t have to be so anxious. I’ve already thought about it for you.” Madam Yan sat on a chair on the side.
“The silver that came back then was not a small amount.
“The people on the street are now lowering the price of the items to such a low level. They must have lost a lot of money because of this.
“Our family has a lot of silver, let’s see who can last longer. They’re selling it at such a low price because they want to compete with us for territory.
“When they can’t afford the losses anymore, we’ll step on them at the right time and win!”
Lin Chenzhi’s face was filled with impatience. “You don’t know anything, Mother!”
In order to put more silver into his own pocket, the account books in the restaurant were specially made for Madam Yan to see.
Lin Chenzhi had given a three-fold report.
Madam Yan didn’t know the real issues that were happening behind the scenes.
“You’re good at business, but you’re too impatient. You’ve spent less than half of the large amount of silver you got back then, and it’s already enough to make us rise again. The remaining half will certainly be enough for us to solve this small problem.”
“If I had married Yue Jiaojiao directly back then, I would have the entire Yue family behind my back. Why would I need to worry about money then?”
“How can a woman like Yue Jiaojiao be worthy of my son? If you marry her, won’t you be at a loss? My heart aches just thinking about it.”
Lin Chenzhi waved Madam Yan’s hand away. “Is Yue Jiaojiao’s age card still at home?”
Madam Yan nodded. “Of course it’s here. If you think it brings bad luck, throw it away. She’s already dead anyway.”
“Give it to me. I want to send the card to the Yue family.”
“Why?” Madam Yan was puzzled. “Yue Jiaojiao is dead, and the Yue family is also very happy.”
“I will request to marry the Yue family’s second daughter.” Lin Chenzhi’s expression was cold, his eyes malicious.
“I heard that the Yue family’s second miss is virtuous, gentle, and well-mannered.
“Moreover, she is the daughter of the Yue family’s current master of the Shang seal.”
Madam Yan’s face was full of dissatisfaction. “Why do you have to marry a girl from the Yue family for no reason? I will not agree to this.”
“You’re not in charge of this whole thing.” Lin Chenzhi clenched his fists. “I’m sure the master of the Yue family will agree to marry off his daughter to me when he sees Yue Jiaojiao’s invitation.”
“If they want to survive, they will have no choice but to marry their daughter off to me.”
Madam Yan looked terrible.
“Why would you do this to yourself?” Madam Yan grabbed Lin Chenzhi’s hand, her heart aching. “You have such a sincere personality, why would you put yourself in this situation? Forget it, as your mother, I can’t bear to see you like this. I will give you whatever that will make you happy.”
Madam Yan said and left.
Lin Chenzhi stared at her back and kicked the chair beside him.
The servant who was guarding the door didn’t even dare to breathe.
In the entire Lin family, no, in the entire Bei City, Madam was probably the only one who still treated him like a child.
…
“Zhao Zhan, I know that person. He’s Lin Chenzhi’s follower.”
Fang Tianliu had been loitering around the Lin family’s restaurant recently, and as long as Lin Chen Zhi appeared, there would definitely be such a person following him.
“Wait here. I’ll go take a look.”
Zhao Zhan strode forward.
In any case, with his current appearance, he was afraid that only Yue Jiaojiao would be able to recognize him at a glance. His open and honest actions didn’t catch the attention of Lin Chenzhi’s followers.
“I’m sorry!”
Their shoulders collided, and Zhao Zhan’s elbow deliberately hit the man’s wrist.
“Can’t you watch where you’re going?!”
The follower spat on the ground while cursing.
“I’m really sorry, I’ll help you pick it up.”
Zhao Zhan lowered his head and picked up the letter that had fallen to the ground.
The letter was sent to Yang City.
He had originally thought that Lin Chenzhi had sent the letter to Huai County to ask for help from Shang.
Yang City was a sensitive topic, so Zhao Zhan followed the man into the guest house.
Zhao Zhan looked at the messenger and said, ” I want to send a letter to Yang City. Please give me an envelope.
“Here.”
He pretended to take something out of his pocket and put it into the letter. He looked at the attendant pass the letter to the messenger from the corner of his eye.
After the attendant left, Zhao Zhan’s hand tightened a little. “I’m sorry, I accidentally tore it. Can you give me another one? I’ll still pay for this rotten one.”
He took advantage of the moment the messenger lowered his head and quickly took out the letter from Lin Chenzhi’s follower.
“Forget it. I suddenly remembered that I have something to mail together. I’ll come back next time.”
He put the letter into his sleeve and quickly left the courier station.
Fang Tianliu quickly said, “Zhao Zhan, how was it? What happened? Did you find out who it was for?”
