Travel to ancient times and become rich women with your bestie

However, Liu Cuilan, who was waiting at the entrance of the alley and peeking, saw the three men talking to Mrs. Zhang as they entered the house. She thought they would come out soon, but they had been in there for nearly two hours and still hadn't come out.

Liu Cuilan was not young anymore. As the sun gradually rose, she was exhausted from squatting and bending over. She was tired and hungry. There were many mosquitoes in the summer, and she would get bitten from time to time.

Liu Cuilan cursed Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin's ancestors in her heart, but she didn't dare to leave, for fear that if she left she would miss the manager coming out and would lose this relationship.

She squatted and stood for a while, always paying attention to the door. Fortunately, she learned her lesson this time and brought a vegetable dumpling from home. It could barely relieve her hunger, but it was dry and hard to swallow.

After finally seeing them leave the house, the old woman went back and brought out an iron pot, which seemed to be for them. Liu Cuilan was so jealous that her eyes turned red.

That's an iron pot. Except for the village chief and a few rich families, who in the village can afford an iron pot?

Seeing them coming out, Liu Cuilan thought that she must follow them and find a chance to talk to the old woman. Who would have thought that the old woman in charge did not come out, and Zheng Yuan and the others were followed by a burly servant.

She was startled and quickly hid in the alley nearby. She only came out after Zheng Yuan and the others had walked a distance away.

Zheng Yuan and the others had already seen Liu Cuilan, and they couldn't help but sigh that this old woman was really determined. At such an old age, she had waited for so long under the scorching sun.

Liu Cuilan looked at the direction where the people went, then looked at the corner gate in the alley, gritted her teeth and walked into the alley.

I must talk to the manager today, otherwise this trip will be in vain.

Liu Cuilan lingered at the door for a long time before she mustered up the courage to go forward and knock on it.

The concierge opened the door and saw a ragged woman, so he wanted to drive her away. But he thought of the three people who came this morning, who were also poorly dressed, but Manager Zhang valued them very much and even escorted them out personally. So he spoke in a rough voice.

"What's your business?"

Originally, she thought that the doorman would make things difficult for her, but unexpectedly, the doorman did not chase her away nor was he as vicious as she had imagined. Liu Cuilan quickly replied: "Master, I have something to ask the housekeeper in the mansion. Can you help me call her?"

"Which steward? There are so many stewards in the mansion, how do I know which steward you are looking for!" Seeing that she couldn't clearly say who she was looking for, the doorman looked impatient.

"It's the one who just came out, the one who just came out with those three people." Liu Cuilan had no idea what Mrs. Zhang's name was, or what she was in charge of. She was afraid that the doorman would be angry and not let her call him, so she could only say that it was the one who came out with Zheng Yuan and the others.

"You mean Zhang, the manager in charge of purchasing? What do you want to see her about?"

"Yes, yes, it's Manager Zhang from Purchasing. Please call her for me and tell her that I have some business to discuss with her."

The doorman looked at her dressed like this with a look of disdain. He thought that this country woman probably couldn't even afford food and clothing, so how could she talk about business?

"Go away, old woman, you are not here to make fun of me. How can you discuss business with your condition? We are busy with our work, so we don't have time to see you. Go away quickly, don't let me be affected by your poor and unlucky appearance."

Hearing the doorman say this, Liu Cuilan's old face flushed with embarrassment. She also knew that the doorman of a wealthy family would treat the person differently according to his or her situation, but this was not the best dress in the family, so it was fine. When she made money, she would have to wear all kinds of silk and satin.

Thinking of this, she shamelessly approached him and said, "Master, please help me pass the message. The three people who just left are from the same village as me. We are together. One of the women is named Zheng, the other is named Duan, and the boy is the second son of Zheng."

She had no choice but to move Zheng Yuan and the others out, thinking that since they were able to get in, it meant that the doorman had been given instructions.

After hearing her say this, the concierge thought about it and realized that he had indeed heard Manager Zhang call one of the old women "Sister Zheng". Could it be that this old woman was really with them?

Thinking of Manager Zhang's previous attitude towards Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin, the doorman was a little hesitant.

Seeing that his attitude had softened, Liu Cuilan hurriedly continued: "Master, I really have something important to tell Manager Zhang. Don't worry, if it succeeds, I will definitely benefit from your efforts."

"What's the benefit? Okay, wait here."

The doorman thought that it was not a big deal, and if he really delayed Manager Zhang's work, he would be in big trouble.

Watching the doorman go in, Liu Cuilan excitedly clutched her collar, as if she saw handfuls of silver flying towards her.

"Manager Zhang, there is a woman outside the door who wants to talk to you about something important."

"Mother?" Mother Zhang thought to herself that maybe Zheng Yuan and the others had something else to say, so she didn't ask any more questions and followed the doorman out.

When I opened the door, I saw an unfamiliar woman standing outside. I wondered who this was.

Seeing Mrs. Zhang coming in, Liu Cuilan stepped forward and said, "Manager Zhang, can you please have a word with me?"

When Liu Cuilan came closer, Mrs. Zhang recognized that this person was the woman who had just peeked in at the entrance of the alley, the woman from the same village that Zheng Meizi and the others had mentioned who had set her sights on their ice jelly business.

She came to me now, it seems that she wants to find out where the ice came from. Thinking of this, Mrs. Zhang's face turned cold: "Just tell me what you want to say!"

Since she didn't move, Liu Cuilan had to take a step forward and whispered to Mrs. Zhang: "Manager Zhang, I can also run errands for you in the business you are cooperating with Mrs. Zheng and Mrs. Duan. When the time comes, I can give you more than what they give you."

As soon as she opened her mouth, the foul smell from her mouth sprayed onto Mrs. Zhang's face. Mrs. Zhang quickly held her breath and took a step back.

Seeing her step back, Liu Cuilan took another step forward.

Mrs. Zhang quickly reached out to stop her, took out a handkerchief and pressed her nose: "Just talk there, don't come closer."

Seeing her pull out the handkerchief, Liu Cuilan felt a little embarrassed. She glanced at the doorman next to her and gritted her teeth: "Manager Zhang, I just want to take some ice from you. When the time comes, I will definitely give you no less than them. Look, I brought the land deed with me."

Fearing that Mrs. Zhang would refuse, Liu Cuilan hurriedly took out her land deed and handed it over.

As expected, he really came here for the business.

Mrs. Zhang didn't offer her hand: "No need, I only recognize them for this business, so you better give up on this idea."

After saying that, he turned around and walked in without caring about her reaction.

"Manager Zhang! Manager Zhang! I can really give you more, just give me a chance!"

Liu Cuilan wanted to chase him, but the doorman stopped her and said, "Go away! Didn't you hear what Manager Zhang said? You old woman, I thought you really had some big business with Manager Zhang. It turns out you are here to beg for money. Manager Zhang doesn't like you. Go away, don't let me be affected by your poor and unlucky appearance!"

No matter how Liu Cuilan tried to persuade her, the doorman refused to listen and pushed Liu Cuilan to the entrance of the alley.

Seeing that Liu Cuilan wanted to go in, the doorman threatened her directly: "If you come in again, I will call the thugs in the mansion to teach you a lesson!"

After hearing this, Liu Cuilan didn't dare to go in any further, and begged the gatekeeper for a long time at the entrance of the alley. The gatekeeper ignored her and just told her to stand there and not go in. He turned around and quickly went into the alley and slammed the door.

Liu Cuilan was turned away and looked into the alley unwillingly, but she did not dare to go up and knock on the door because of the doorman's words.

After standing at the entrance of the alley for a long time, he had to turn around and walk back, thinking about whether there was any other way to get in touch with Mrs. Zhang.
