Good luck every time

Qin Huanzhang's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"A caravan? That's a good idea. Miss Li is skilled, smart, and good at making money. I'm sure she can make a name for herself in this business."

Qin Huanzhang's words seemed to show his high praise for Li Ruyi.

Li Ruyi did not expose it, but smiled modestly.

"Miss Qin, you are too kind. I am just exploring the situation. It is hard to say how it will turn out in the future. If you think it is good and you are planning to invest, we can discuss it and think about it after we go back. We can each come up with a set of rules and work on it slowly."

Cooperation is not a matter of just deciding on a whim that you get how much and I get how much.

What if Li Ruyi runs away with the money?

What if Qin Huanzhang was doing something else and kicked Li Ruyi out once the caravan started to make a profit? ?

How to cooperate, to what extent, what is the division of labor, how to distribute the benefits, who should be the manager of the caravan, how to sort out the accounts, what to do if you lose money, how much to invest in the early stage, how much money to keep for turnover...

The various issues are trivial and complicated, and even if both parties are easy to talk to, it is not easy to build a framework.

Qin Huanzhang naturally understood this truth.

Although she is richer than Li Ruyi, she still has to think carefully. Her money is the foundation of her future life and she can't just take it out and throw it away.

The caution of both parties was recognized by the other party.

The carriage soon stopped in front of a restaurant.

This restaurant is very elegant. Li Ruyi has heard of it many times but has never been there.

The people coming in and out here are not ordinary people, but students dressed like scholars.

In her previous life, her identity did not allow her to enter there, and in this life, she still carries many of the inertia from her previous life.

Li Ruyi did not need to make too much preparation, so he got off the carriage first. When he looked up, he saw the restaurant's somewhat quaint plaque with the three words "Zhuangyuanlou" engraved in regular script.

Li Ruyi turned to look at Qin Huanzhang, who had already put on his veil hat.

The little maid jumped down from the carriage and held out her hand to help her.

Qin Huanzhang also got off the carriage, and the driver drove the carriage to the backyard.

Li Ruyi stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation.

Qin Huanzhang was a little nervous, but he still walked into the restaurant side by side with Li Ruyi.

Seeing the two female guests arriving, the waiter felt a little embarrassed.

Normally female guests would come from the backyard and go directly to the private room on the second floor to sit and listen to the noise outside. Very few would be like Li Ruyi, who would disregard her reputation and face and walk through the main entrance without a man's accompaniment!

It's not that it's impossible, it just seems against etiquette.

Speaking of etiquette, the requirements for etiquette are quite high in places with many students nowadays.

As if noticing the waiter's embarrassment, Li Nian took two quick steps to Li Ruyi's side.

The waiter heaved a sigh of relief at this time and greeted the two girls in the front row warmly.

Qin Huanzhang and Li Ruyi walked through the noisy lobby, went up the stairs, and all the way to the private room she had booked.

With a lady like Qin Huanzhang around, it was inconvenient for Li Er to go in, so he had to wait at the door of the private room.

Li Ruyi and the other two came in and sat down, and then the little maid helped Qin Huanzhang take off his veil.

"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Miss Li. I always entered through the back door in the past, but today I want to go through the front door as well."

After hearing this, Li Ruyi's smile suddenly became much more sincere.

Qin Huanzhang was telling her why she chose Li Ruyi when there were so many people she could cooperate with.

Because both of them are women.

Because she also wanted to be fearless like Li Ruyi.

The private rooms in Zhuangyuan Building are not completely enclosed. There is a door on one side and the other side faces the lobby on the first floor.

There was a curtain hanging down, and the people in the private room could see the shadowy figures in the hall through the curtain.

If you want to see what's going on outside, you can ask someone to come and lift the curtain.

Because of this, as long as the women hid behind the curtains, they could see what was happening outside without being noticed.

However, there are very few female relatives who come alone. Even if close friends get together, they usually choose their own farms, or places like Jinlou Rouge Shop, which are specially used to receive female guests.

Like Zhuangyuanlou, although it accepts female guests, most of the time, the guests are men, or women who come with men.

Among these women, some were maids and servants, and the rest were prostitutes or young girls at home, etc.

There are still too few rebellious women.

After Li Ruyi and Qin Huanzhang took their seats, the owner of Zhuangyuanlou immediately went to inquire about their identities.

This kind of restaurant is the most well-informed, and some people come here not just to eat.

For example, when the shopkeeper learned of Qin Huanzhang's identity, the news that the eldest daughter of the Qin family, the future wife of the eldest grandson of the Zhao family, and Li Ruyi, the owner of Ruyifang, came together swept the powerful circle of the capital city in a very short time.

The affair between Li Ruyi and Zhao Qi had been widely reported before, and now Qin Huanzhang has met with Li Ruyi again. It is hard not to make assumptions about the relationship between these three people.

Those who had previously thought that they could use Li Ruyi to sow discord between Qin and Zhao were now gnashing their teeth in hatred.

How could Li Ruyi not know Qin Huanzhang's plan?

However, if the two of them really cooperate, it would not be strange for them to join forces to fight against those who are causing trouble.

Who told those people not to come find Li Ruyi!

It's all about money, and she actually accepts everyone who comes.

Before the two of them finished their meal in Zhuangyuan Building, many people in the city had already taken action.

Li Ruyi and Qin Huanzhang both had the idea of ​​collaborating.

This meal was a feast for both the guest and the host.

After dinner, they went home.

Qin Huanzhang originally wanted to send Li Ruyi back, but Li Er had been standing outside the door for a long time. Li Ruyi couldn't bear it, so she refused Qin Huanzhang and only exchanged business cards with her. After everyone had figured it out in the next two days, they would discuss the meeting.

As soon as they separated, Li Ruyi took Li Er to find a small restaurant with great food and ordered two dishes.

She watched Li Er gobble up all the food in no time, and then went home contentedly.

As soon as Li Ruyi entered the room, she saw Li Shiliu winking at her frantically.

It was already dark, and the candlelight in the room flickered. To Li Ruyi, the look in Li Shiliu's eyes was not only incomprehensible, but even a little scary.

"Sixteenth brother, what's wrong with your eyes?"

Li Shiliu took a deep breath, closed his eyes and shook his head, as if trying to stop Li Ruyi from speaking.

Li Ruyi didn't understand. She heard footsteps in the backyard, turned around, and saw Han Shian coming in from the back door.

Li Shiliu quickly turned his gaze elsewhere.

Only then did Li Ruyi understand what was going on with him.

Li Er followed Li Ruyi in, not knowing what had just happened. He looked at the room full of strange people in confusion.

Han Shian smiled when he saw Li Ruyi.

"I heard that you went to Zhuangyuanlou today. I wonder if the food suits your taste?"

Han Shian seemed to be simply asking.

Li Ruyi just tilted his head and thought about it, then answered calmly.

"It tastes good, but I think it's not worth the money I spent!"

As he spoke, Li Ruyi had already walked towards Han Shian.

Han Shian waited for her to arrive before going to the backyard with her.

Hearing the footsteps of the two people getting farther and farther away, Li Shiliu felt creepy.

He made a series of strange noises towards Li Er in an attempt to draw his attention.

Li Er turned around and looked at him, speechless.

Li Shiliu spoke with his lips.

"Are you here to call for punishment?"

Li Er rolled his eyes, pretending not to see it, strode out of the store and went to the backyard.

He did not keep up with Li Ruyi's pace. Although the two were not walking fast, they were not slow either. When Li Er came out, they could no longer be seen.

Li Ruyi and Han Shian walked to the last row.

At this time, people were coming and going in the yard. Li Ruyi pulled Han Shian to a remote house and jumped onto the roof.

Han Shian saw Li Ruyi jump up, sighed, stood on the ground with his hands on his hips, and looked up at the roof.

The tiles on the roof made a crisp sound of tinkling.

Li Ruyi poked his head out from the roof.

"Why don't you come up?"

Han Shian took two steps back and then jumped up, but he lacked luck and internal strength, and he almost fell to the roof.

Li Ruyi was startled and moved quickly to grab the person who was about to fall.

The tiles clattered and the two of them fell onto the roof together.

Li Ruyi looked at the other party in surprise.

"You are hurt?"

Although Han Shian was willing to tease her occasionally, he would never make such a joke.

There is only one possibility that could make him so natural.

Han Shian smiled helplessly and turned over to lie on the roof.

"There's nothing I can do about it. A rising star always has to go through something!"

Li Ruyi quickly reached out to search his body.

Han Shian was startled and grabbed her hand.

"I'm not trying to be brave. I'm worried about the danger outside, so I came to you!"

After saying this, Han Shian played a pitiful role.

"Senior Sister, you have to protect me..."

Li Ruyi looked unhappy, slapped his hand away and asked.

"Where is the injury?"

Han Shian hid nothing and told the general situation.

"Internal injuries. The person who came seems to be a professional killer with strong martial arts skills. I have asked Shi Yu to return to the county."

Li Ruyi was shocked when she heard this.

"When did it happen? Is there any clue about it?"

Han Shian shook his head.

"There's nothing to suggest about what happened yesterday. Maybe someone just doesn't like me, or maybe someone feels threatened."

"Among the candidates taking the exam this year, there are several with strong backgrounds, but unfortunately they have no connections with me or them. I wonder who will kill them halfway through."

Li Ruyi sighed deeply.

There is no evidence for this kind of thing, so it's hard to guess.

Some thoughts are just momentary thoughts, and as long as you have the ability, you are suspected.

"What about the killer?"

Han Shian was silent for a moment before speaking.

"I'm afraid it's a series of tricks, and I just injured the person."

He has an exam coming up and doesn't want to be involved in a murder case.

Li Ruyi frowned.

"Is that why you were injured?"

Hurting someone is sometimes much harder than killing them.

Faced with such a vicious killer, Han Shian still had some reservations. It was not easy for him to come back alive.

"Ok!"

Li Ruyi took a deep breath and seemed to want to say something, but she held it back.

Han Shian must have his own considerations for what he did. All he could think of were ideas related to himself and were not entirely practical.

"You should stay here well during this period. You have gained some fame, so at least you won't be a drag. That's enough. I will discuss this with Brother Twenty, and someone will stay in the shop to watch over you for a while."

Han Shian didn't hesitate to nod and spoke in the way Li Ruyi called him.

"It's embarrassing for Brother Twenty!"

Li Ruyi didn't hear anything, she just lay beside Han Shian and looked at him worriedly.

"How is your injury? Do you want me to ask a doctor to come and take a look at you?"

Han Shian shook his head.

"My internal energy has been used up, and my meridians are in great pain. I don't have a feeling of what will happen in the future, but I just don't have the strength to protect myself."

Li Ruyi was a little worried and went to take Han Shian's pulse.

Han Shian also let her go.

However, after keeping his hand on Han Shian's pulse for a long time, Li Ruyi sighed deeply.

Her medical skills were not very good, and apart from feeling that Han Shian's inner strength was indeed empty, she could not sense anything else.

"I can't see it. Why don't we go see a doctor?"

Han Shian shook his head.

"I used the medicine that Master gave me, and I'm fine. I just can't use my internal energy for a while."

Li Ruyi knew that he had some reservations in saying this, but seeing that the man was full of energy and had a rosy face, he didn't say anything else.

The two of them lay side by side on the roof.

Quietly watching the sky gradually darken.

The noise in the yard gradually faded away.

Li Ruyi's stomach growled twice, and Han Shian seemed to remember something and took out an oil-paper bag from his arms.

"I passed by the braised meat shop on my way here, and bought a piece I wanted to bring to you!"

After hearing this, Li Ruyi was stunned for a moment and half sat up to look.

"How can you hold the braised meat in your arms without worrying about staining your clothes?!"

Only after Han Shian took out the palm-sized oil paper bag and tore off the oil paper layer by layer did Li Ruyi fall silent.

When I finally opened it, there was a piece of meat inside, which looked to be about half a pound.

She reached out and tore off a piece. She didn't think it was bad because it was cold, but she felt that the taste was somewhat familiar.

The familiar girl was suddenly stunned.

Past memories poured down like a flood, carrying Li Ruyi up and down.

They all say it feels like a lifetime ago.

But this taste is indeed from another lifetime.

In her previous life, Li Ruyi had always heard about how good this restaurant's braised meat was, but she had never tried it.

Just before Han Shian was about to take the college entrance examination, Li Ruyi said that if Han Shian passed the exam, she would definitely buy her the braised meat from this restaurant to try.

The two of them were lying on the roof like this at the beginning. Han Shian's smiling and nodding eyes are still vivid in his mind.

But later, he broke his promise.

He passed the examination and became a scholar, and Li Ruyi also got to eat braised pork, but they could never go back.

Li Ruyi's expression dimmed for a moment, but she immediately put the braised meat into her mouth.

"You're injured, and you're still so confident?"

Han Shian was stunned at first, then he lowered his eyes, as if he had thought of something.

"I've never been completely sure. I just promised you something, but I haven't fulfilled it yet. When I think about it, I miss you."
