Moreover, Leng Xun remembered that his family had cooperated with the Zhao family of Xianju Pavilion, but Tianxiang Tower and Xianju Pavilion were sworn enemies. Why did Tianxiang Tower come to him now?

"Oh, it turns out to be Master Wang. I am so sorry for my disrespect."

Leng Xun thought about it for a long time, and then he said a few polite words, and then he said carefully: "Mr. Wang may not know that his family is rich and powerful. We are a small family that can barely make a living by doing business. How can we compare with you..."

He was making excuses and was unwilling to cooperate.

Wang Qingshu, however, stroked his belly, laughed, and interrupted him directly.

"I'm being modest. Some time ago, at the birthday banquet of the old lady of the Sheng family, the food prepared in your shop really amazed me."

Having said that, Wang Qingshu led his people into the hall without being invited and found a seat to sit down.

Leng Yan, who was cleaning up things in the kitchen, heard the noise and came out to check. He just happened to hear the middle-aged man with a goatee speaking half-threateningly and half-persuadingly.

"Let's be frank. My master came here in person today to buy your recipes.

As you all know, our Tianxianglou is located in Beicheng County. It is one of the best restaurants. It is a blessing for you that your small shop is favored by you.

I advise you to cooperate with us honestly and not play any tricks, and the benefits will naturally come."

"This……"

Leng Xun twisted his fingers together, looking hesitant.

"What? Is there a problem?"

Wang Qingshu spoke, silently exerting pressure.

Leng Yan listened from the side and felt that this matter might be unavoidable.

Ever since the birthday banquet at the Sheng Mansion, Sheng Yuxing had reminded her several times to be careful about Tianxianglou. He also said that ever since the birthday banquet, the Wang family had been asking around to find out which chef had organized the banquet.

The Sheng family and the Wang family of Tianxiang Tower are not on good terms, and the Sheng family knows what kind of person the Wang family is. If he likes the cooking skills of the Leng family's chef, he will do everything he can to get it.

Therefore, the Sheng family has been helping to conceal it, but unexpectedly they were still found out.

But this is something that will happen sooner or later. Leng Yan thought that he could only deal with it as it comes.

She naturally didn't want to cooperate with Tianxiang Tower, not to mention that her family was still maintaining a good cooperative relationship with Xianju Pavilion.

When Tianxiang Tower forced Xianju Pavilion to reveal the silver sprout recipe, it doomed the two families to no longer have any chance.

Leng Xun naturally knew about this, so when he heard that they wanted to buy recipes, he declined politely.

"Hey, gentlemen, my family is just a small business, we all rely on this shop for our livelihood, there is no such thing as a recipe or not..."

He hadn't finished speaking yet, but Wang Qingshu seemed impatient, with a gleam in his sharp eyes: "What did you say?"

Leng Xun was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, but he still persisted.

Seeing that he did not repent, Wang Qingshu snorted coldly and called out, "Butler."

At this time, the goatee man took a few steps forward, pointed at the big-bellied man next to him and said, "Do you know this guy?"

Leng Xun looked at him carefully for a few times without knowing what was going on, then shook his head, "I don't know him."

Leng Yan, who was standing next to him, heard what he said and went to look, only to find that he didn't recognize the person either.

"His last name is Xue, and he is the owner of your shop."

As the housekeeper spoke, he added, “To be precise, this shop now belongs to my master.

So I advise you to be more sensible, otherwise, not only in this shop, but also in the whole town, there will be no place for you to stay."

"I have little patience, so I will only give you two days to think about it."

Wang Qingshu stood up from his chair, glanced at everyone in the shop, and said in a cold voice:

“In two days, either you sell me all the recipes in your shop, or I will get them by other means, and you all have to get out of this shop.

Anyway, I have many ways to do this, you can try them all."

They had no scruples and made naked threats directly, then left in a swagger.

The people in the shop were so frightened that they were stunned for a while. It was only after a long while that they realized what had happened.

"What should we do? The Wang family is well-known for using any means necessary. If they target us, nothing good will happen."

"Yes, yes, not only that, I heard that the Wang family is so lawless that if they like a pretty girl on the street, they will snatch her away directly on the street.

It seems that if the Wang family sets their sights on something, they will do whatever it takes to get it."

"Yes, yes, yes. It seems that there was a girl in our town who was kidnapped and directly became a concubine."

"Oh my, there is such a thing, how come I have never heard of it."

"Of course I am. I heard that someone was killed, so they kept it a secret and the news didn't leak out.

Some aunts who knew about the situation sighed, but then they all looked worried.

If the Leng family snack shop really fails, where else can they find such a good job?

"Boss, what should we do?" Several people talked at the same time, all of them were very anxious.

Leng Xun, Zhang Cuiniang and the others had never experienced anything like this before. They were at a loss for a moment and could only look at their daughter.

Seeing Baba's gaze, Leng Yan calmed down and said a few words to comfort them, telling them not to worry, and then asked the aunts to pack up and go home.

When they were the only ones left in the shop, Leng Yan couldn't help but persuade them when he saw their sad faces:

"Dad, Mom, and aunt, don't worry yet. We still have a way out. Don't forget our shop in Taojing Village."

Leng Yan's original intention was to comfort them, but she didn't expect that the family became even more agitated after hearing it.

"What? Is it true that our shop in Hulu Town is going to be closed because of the Wang family?"

Zhang Cuiniang slammed the table in anger, "I just don't believe that the Wang family can buy a shop and buy all the shops in the town!"

"that is!"

Leng Xun also added, "When we rented this shop, we signed a six-month contract, but there is only more than a month left before it expires."

"Brother, that's not how it works."

Leng Su shook his head and said, "Since they dare to threaten us with this, then this contract will not be difficult for them. When the time comes, they can pay a few copper coins and still drive us out as a matter of course."

"That's the truth."

Leng Yan nodded, "Money makes the world go round. In their eyes, a contract is nothing more than a matter of money."

"What should I do?"

Leng Yan was also anxious in her heart, but she could only keep calm on the surface. She stood up and thought for a while before saying:

"Let's go to the jewellery shop first and ask the people there who the owner of this shop is. They can't just bring someone and say he is the owner. What if they are trying to scam us?"
