The little ancestor of the family

"If he gets married, we have ways to cooperate with him, and if he doesn't get married, we have ways to cooperate with him."

Ye Xinran said.

"Mom, if you trust me, how about leaving this matter to me?"

"Leave it to you?" Leng Qingyu looked at her daughter, "Aren't you going to Northern Xinjiang with Xiao Huaian? Will this delay your business?"

"will not!"

Ye Xinran said: "A few days won't make a difference. If I don't figure this out, I won't feel at ease when I go out."

"I'm already this old, there's no need for you to worry about this kind of thing!"

Leng Qingyu looked embarrassed.

Seeing that her mother was still hesitating, Ye Xinran said, "Mom, since Uncle Zhong is not a bad person and is so sincere about wanting to cooperate with the Leng family, we have no reason to keep refusing.

Besides, didn’t you just say that the mermaid silk is very rare? Let’s go back.”

"Correct!"

Thinking of the mermaid silk, Leng Qingyu immediately said firmly: "This mermaid silk is indeed rare. I will tell Shopkeeper Jin to ask the Zhong family to send someone to negotiate with us."

"Okay! When they come, let me talk to them."

Ye Xinran said.

After this matter was settled, Ye Xinran had been waiting for someone from the Zhong family to come.

She thought that the Zhong family would take this matter very seriously, but she did not expect that the person who would drive the carriage to the capital to deliver the cloth would be Zhong Yujian himself.

When she saw Zhong Yujian in the cloth shop, she was very surprised.

Zhong Yujian was also surprised to see Ye Xinran.

She pointed at Ye Xinran and asked Shopkeeper Jin, "Shopkeeper Jin, is this the daughter that Qingyu found later?"

Shopkeeper Jin nodded, "She's my eldest daughter."

Zhong Yujian was happy, "Great, great, this child is good looking! She looks exactly like Qingyu back then, not like her ugly father at all!

But why didn't Qingyu come over?"

He looked behind Ye Xinran and confirmed that Leng Qingyu hadn't come. He showed a disappointed expression, "I thought she agreed to cooperate with me, which meant she was no longer angry! It seems that she is still angry with me. If I had known, I wouldn't have been in such a hurry."

While Zhong Yujian was speaking, Ye Xinran was observing him the whole time.

The man in front of him had a handsome appearance and spoke slowly and calmly.

Although he had a small beard on his chin, it was kept very neat and tidy. He was a rare person who looked good with a beard.

Although he was a little disappointed that Leng Qingyu didn't come, he didn't get angry. He seemed to be well-mannered, except for that one sentence: Ugly dad!

Ye Xinran had a good first impression of him, so she said, "Uncle Zhong, don't mind, my mother is feeling a little unwell, so she specially asked me to come here for her.

The tea and snacks are ready in the house, why don’t we go inside and talk?”

Zhong Yujian nodded and agreed.

The reception room behind the counter is a place specially used to entertain distinguished guests and is decorated elegantly and exquisitely.

After the two sat down, the waiter immediately brought hot tea, then left and closed the door.

Ye Xinran first poured a cup of tea for Zhong Yujian, and then said straight to the point: "Uncle Zhong, there is no one else here, so I will speak frankly.

I want to ask, is Uncle Zhong making this trip in person to discuss business or to meet my mother? "

Zhong Yujian had a calm expression. He was not surprised at all when he heard Ye Xinran ask this. He answered honestly:

"It should be both. I want to discuss business, but I also want to see your mother. I haven't seen her for more than ten years. I don't know if your mother has changed."

"Fortunately, there shouldn't be any major changes," Ye Xinran said, "I believe you should be able to see her when you leave."

"Really?" Zhong Yujian, who was always steady, became excited after hearing this.

"Does she really want to see me?"

Ye Xinran smiled, "Uncle Zhong and my mother are not enemies. Since we have cooperated, of course we can meet. What I am more concerned about is what identity Uncle Zhong plans to use when he meets my mother."

"What identity?"

Zhong Yujian didn't understand.

Ye Xinran explained: "As a business partner or as an old friend."

"So that's it!"

Zhong Yujian understood and said with a smile: "As long as your mother doesn't mind, I am willing to meet her as an old friend."

"Okay, if he's an old friend, then I'll accept it on behalf of my mother and invite Uncle Zhong to dinner at my house.

At that time, Uncle Zhong can bring all his family members with him, so that my mother and my brother can all meet each other."

Hearing this, Zhong Yujian smiled awkwardly.

"Well...well...actually I don't have any relatives. This time I came here, I only brought an old servant with me."

"Is it because the journey is too long and your relatives are left in Yancheng and you didn't bring them with you?"

Ye Xinran asked.

"No."

Zhong Yu simply answered, "I have been busy with business these years, running around everywhere, and I have no time to take care of other things, so I am still single."

"Always alone?"

Ye Xinran asked.

In fact, for a stranger who had just met, Ye Xinran's words were a bit out of line.

However, Zhong Yujian did not think there was anything wrong with this. Instead, he answered cheerfully, "Yes, I have always been alone. I am used to being alone."

"I see!"

Ye Xinran felt relieved. "Uncle Zhong is so busy, but he still came here in person. I'm afraid I can't afford this favor. How about I let my mother treat you to dinner tonight?"

"Tonight?" Zhong Yujian's face lit up, and then he remembered something, "Didn't you say Qingyu wasn't feeling well? We don't have to have this meal, let's wait until she's better."

“It’s just a meal, it’s fine if it doesn’t take long.

If Uncle Zhong has no objection, I will go back and discuss it with my mother."

Zhong Yujian didn't expect to be able to meet Leng Qingyu so easily. Of course, he couldn't refuse Ye Xinran's proposal. He nodded and said, "Okay, if it's not forced, of course I'm willing."

"Okay, then Uncle Zhong, tell me about the cooperation first."

Zhong Yujian then got to the point and recounted all the proposals he had thought of before coming here.

After listening to it, Ye Xinran became very interested.

"Mom just told me that Uncle Zhong's business was all about timber, and it had nothing to do with our business. I never thought Uncle Zhong would be so capable now. The largest fleet in the Huai River and Yangtze River region turned out to be Uncle Zhong's business."

Zhong Yujian smiled faintly, "In fact, this fleet is the foundation of my family, and the timber business was only started later.

Your mother is stubborn, and I was afraid that if she knew that her business was intertwined with mine, she would withdraw all the stores in the Huai River and Huai River areas in anger, so I never publicized this matter to the outside world. "

"So that's it!"

Ye Xinran picked up the teacup and used the bowl to hide the smile on her face.

This Zhong Yujian is quite interesting. If he really does this for his mother, then he would be a good candidate for investigation.
