The little Fubao in the deserted village made all the dignitaries in the court go crazy with envy

A private room on the third floor of Fu Yue Restaurant.

The Wang family, the Fu family, the Zhuo family, and the Ruan family gathered again, and the doors and windows of the private room were closed tightly.

Four families sat around the table. The food on the table remained untouched, but pot after pot of wine was served.

The wine goes down the throat quickly.

The wine glass fell heavily on the table.

It showed the anxiety of several people.

The head of the Wang family couldn't bear it any longer and slammed the wine table down on the table, making a loud noise.

"The Jin family has recently started to hold frequent meetings. Every time they invite people to come, they only invite those families who donated money during the disaster relief. We have never been invited! What does the Jin family mean? What do they want to do by avoiding us?"

Patriarch Fu was over fifty years old, thin, and shrewd. He narrowed his eyes and wondered, "Could it be that the Jin family noticed our move? Are they ready to tear their relationship apart?"

"Why is he trying to tear his face off? If anyone wants to tear someone off, it should be us! Which of our four families didn't take action against the Jin family some time ago? The Fu family targeted his cloth shop, the Zhuo family targeted his teahouses in the eight cities of Hezhou, Tuzhou, and Haozhou, and I also took action against their water transportation. Has anyone succeeded?

Not only did we fail, but we almost lost everything and even our own business! I don't know how much you lost, but my Wang family lost more than 200,000 taels!

The situation is still very strange. The Jin family did not fight back at all. It seems that they had expected the result and let us do whatever we want. But we were tricked but we can't find out who is behind it! We can't find out who is protecting the Jin family! It feels like seeing a ghost! "

The head of the Wang family became more and more angry as he spoke, and he drank three glasses of strong liquor in a row. After drinking the liquor, his anger did not subside, but became even more intense.

Although he verbally mentioned that four families were responsible for the attack, he did not mention the Ruan family at all when he counted them in detail, which made Ruan Chengye look embarrassed for a moment.

However, Ruan Chengye quickly suppressed the embarrassment. Among the four people present, the other three were mostly upper-class figures in the business circle of Yuanzhou City, and only the Ruan family was at the bottom of the social ladder. Under normal circumstances, he would not be qualified to be on an equal footing with these three.

He poured a glass of wine for each of the three people and asked tentatively, "Is it possible that it was Lord Cui...?"

"It's not him." Patriarch Zhuo glanced at Ruan Chengye, with an invisible contempt in his eyes. "Although the Jin family is favored by Lord Cui, our relationship with Lord Cui is not much worse than that of the Jin family. Lord Cui is definitely not the one behind this incident."

Wang and Fu both nodded in agreement.

To put it bluntly, the person who could have cut off several of their arms quietly and lightly must have extremely powerful means.

But Cui Yingyuan doesn't have that ability yet.

This is what made several people anxious and frightened. They guessed that the other party did not intend to kill them for the time being, but was just trying to warn them. Otherwise -

No one dared to think about that result.

They haven't even figured out yet whether they have accidentally offended someone, or whether the Jin family has quietly climbed up some big tree?

But either way, it's not good for them.

"I once suspected that it was the wealthy family from Yuxi Village who had moved in before, because that family's surname was Yan, so I sent someone to investigate, and it wasn't them. That family came from Cizhou, and they were wealthy from business, but they didn't have any strong connections. This 'Yan' is not that 'Yan'."

Patriarch Wang's eyes were dark as he looked at Ruan Chengye, "Patriarch Ruan has been in close contact with the Jin family in recent years, and I heard that the young master of the Jin family is very fond of your little girl and always responds to her requests. Didn't Patriarch Ruan hear any news from the Jin family?"

"Hehe." Ruan Chengye laughed dryly, "You think too highly of me. If the Ruan family was really so close to the Jin family, I wouldn't be sitting here, right?"

He didn't dare say it, what a close relationship they had.

The Ruan family can’t even enter the Jin family’s gate now!

Jin Duobao suddenly became difficult to appease. They waited outside the Jin family's door several times but didn't see anyone, let alone listen to rumors.

After talking for a long time without any result, it felt more like a review meeting of a failed alliance, and the four of them became even more restless.

The Jin family's actions were so frequent that they were scared.

They are afraid that the Jin family will rise again, and they are even more afraid that the Jin family will get on board and they will miss the opportunity.

He couldn't help but keep spying on the Jin family.

As for the Jin family, they did know about these families' private actions, but they had no time to pay attention to them.

The final outcome of the matter also proved that their trust in the noble man was right. The noble man promised to protect the Jin family for three years, and he kept his word!

The father and son of the Jin family felt relieved and focused on the current plan, so busy that they were busy all the time.

Although he was busy, Mr. Jin smiled more than ever. He did not look tired at all and looked radiant and energetic, as if he was several years younger.

"It's a joy to fight a battle like this. The rats jumping around were beaten back without us having to do anything."

"We have someone to protect us from behind. We just need to focus on our business and not be distracted."

"I've expanded my territory, made money, and done good things. How happy is that?"

"This is a great opportunity to accumulate merit for our ancestors. Ah Lai, work hard and accumulate more merit!"

The money made him laugh and cry. The old man was old and in a good mood, so he could make jokes easily and even had the leisure to compete with Jin Duobao in childishness.

"The house in Yuxi Village has been built. We will move in after packing up our things." Jin Qianlai was focused on business and would consult with the old man at any time. "Dad, this time we will join forces and open two large workshops in Wutong Town. I have already made plans for what each workshop will do. When we get to Yuxi Village, we will visit the Yan family and get their opinion. As long as he nods, the matter will be officially settled."

"Okay, anyway, we have already agreed with the Guo, Ye, Gan, and Yang families that they only need to take a share of the profits and not interfere with the workshop, so you can just go ahead and do it." Mr. Jin thought for a moment and said, "There are secrets over there that cannot be told to others. Let the shopkeepers who are sent into the workshop to lead the way stay near the workshop and don't let them enter Yuxi Village."

"Okay, there is one more thing I need your help with. The Lin family was hesitant about the cooperation before because they had no experience in workshop management and were not confident. They are honest and they are afraid that they would get a share of the profits for nothing but would not be worthy of the position. I think the third kid of the Lin family is interested in doing business, so please give him some advice when the time comes."

"Do you need to tell me about such a small matter? Go ahead, I'll go check on Duobao. The kid knew he could live in Yuxi Village for long, so excited that he couldn't sleep at night. Haha, what a kid's mentality!"

Two miles outside Yuxi Village, near Shennv Mountain, there is a large piece of vacant flat land.

Half a month ago, someone came to mark out the land and build a house. He brought a team of craftsmen with him and recruited more than 200 people nearby to work quickly. From scratch, a huge house rose from the ground, and the area it occupied was astonishing.
