In ancient times, she gave birth to seven daughters and was divorced by her husband's family.

Sure enough, it is better to do business with smart people.

If you are not a smart person, you might have some grudges against them now.

These wealthy businessmen now have to think about how to explain it to Bai Lu.

Shangguan Fusheng smiled.

Suddenly I felt like... someone was staring at me from behind.

He frowned and turned around, only to find nothing there.

Behind him was a deserted street, and in front was the Bai family's last store - the "Bai Family Treasure Pavilion", a store that he had not been involved in.

I heard that all the treasures here were brought by Bai Lu from the Western Regions.

The crowd just reached the door and had no time to look inside.

Shangguan Fusheng frowned and thought: Am I too tired recently that I have hallucinations?

There's obviously no one behind this...

As he was thinking, a shadow suddenly came from the front and almost scared him.

"elder brother!"

"???"

"!!!"

"Shangguan Yi, why are you here?"

Shangguan Fusheng saw Shangguan Yi changed into a bright yellow long skirt, which was decorated with gold thread and pearls, and looked a little more formal. He couldn't help but said to Shangguan Yi, "Didn't you say you wouldn't come?"

Shangguan Yi said anxiously, "Brother, I'm busy with the Shangguan family's shop. Didn't you say that you would let the Bai family run the specialty shop... So I thought I would go over there to count again, but I didn't expect some mistakes, so I wanted to come here to find you and count the shop again."

Shangguan Fusheng nodded after hearing this: "I see."

He looked helpless, "I asked you to come before. After all, it's Madam Bailu's opening, so we can't not be there. But if you don't come, that's fine."

Anyway, on the surface, the Bai family and the Shangguan family don't get along very well now, so it's good enough to have Shangguan Fusheng here.

After all, Shangguan Fusheng, the head of the famous Shangguan family, is here in person to take charge. He is usually elusive, so it’s quite good that he shows up now.

They still have a long way to go before they get to spend time together. If I show too much eagerness from the beginning, I'm afraid Bai Lu's family won't care.

Shangguan Fusheng thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll go tell Bai Niangzi, and I'll go with you to take inventory."

So Shangguan Yi followed Shangguan Fusheng to find Bai Lu.

"..."

Bai Lu turned her head and noticed Shangguan Fusheng and Shangguan Yi huddled together, seemingly talking about something.

Then, the two of them hurried towards him.

Shangguan Yi and Shangguan Fusheng both bowed slightly to Bai Lu, then said with a smile, "Lady Bai, we have something to discuss with you."

Bai Lu then listened to them talking about the specialty shops.

After hearing this, Bai Lu immediately smiled and nodded: "So that's how it is. I thought it was nothing. You don't have to worry about it. I'll call my second brother and go with you to count it."

Shangguan Fusheng and Bai Lu looked at each other and immediately understood what Bai Lu meant.

Shangguan Fusheng nodded and smiled, "That's all thanks to the Second Young Master."

"Um...Does Second Young Master understand these?" Shangguan Yi was a little confused.

I heard that among the brothers and sisters of the Bai family, Bai Lu is the most capable in business, and the second is the third son of the Bai family, named Bai Qingze.

Bai Qingze went to invite the Qingzhou prefect today, so he hasn't come yet. So we have to wait until Bai Qingze comes before we can say anything.

This Bai Liezhao... he is a military general, how could he possibly understand these business accounts?

Shangguan Fusheng immediately scolded Shangguan Yi: "How can you talk like that?!"

"The Bai family has been doing business for generations, and the father of the second son of the Bai family is the best businessman in the world! The second son has some foundation in this business. Any abacus they take out is better than 10 of us."

"...Brother, I was wrong."

Shangguan Fusheng immediately called Bai Liezhao, who was in a daze not far away, over with Bai Lu.

Bai Liezhao is now acting as a thug. If anyone dares to make trouble, he will just throw that person out.

However, the Bai family has just opened for business, and Shangguan Fusheng has brought so many wealthy businessmen to maintain order, so no one will deliberately cause trouble, so Bai Liezhao is relatively the most free.

But if anything happens, he will be the first to be hit, and blood will inevitably be shed.

Bai Liezhao was called over with a confused look on his face, and then he heard Bai Lu's instructions: "Second brother, the Shangguan family has encountered some problems related to our business. You go over and help deal with it."

"?"

"......I?"

Bai Liezhao pointed at himself in confusion, then nodded and said seriously: "Don't worry, sister, I will definitely take care of it."

"Although I have been practicing martial arts and am not very good at doing business, I still understand some basic things. Besides, the head of the Shangguan family and Miss Shangguan are here, so it's okay for me to help them deal with it."

Bai Liezhao was particularly enthusiastic and immediately followed Shangguan Fusheng and Shangguan Yi.

Bai Lu looked at Bai Liezhao's back and nodded, very satisfied: Well, brother is still very capable.

Although his emotional intelligence is not as high as his eldest and third brothers, and he is not as shrewd as them, Bai Liezhao has the most honest character, speaks his mind, and has no bad intentions.

He is always the first to take on problems and is very loyal and willing to help.

And he doesn't back down because of his weakness. He does whatever he is told to do and is very obedient.

If the Shangguan family is impressed by his character, then it would not be a bad idea to connect Shangguan Yi with his brother.

Bai Lu was watching there when she heard a cold voice behind her: "Sister, what are you looking at?"

Bai Lu was startled and when she turned around, she found Bai Qingze and the Qingzhou governor were looking at her with smiles behind her.

Bai Lu was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly bowed to the two of them with a smile: "It turns out that it is the prefect and my third brother. Please come in."

Before Bai Qingze could say anything, he saw the Qingzhou prefect next to him getting angry. He put his hands on his waist angrily and said to Bai Lu sternly, "Little girl Bai Lu, try calling another prefect!"

Bai Lu was stunned for a moment, then quickly smiled and said, "Uncle Sun."

"Well, that's right." The Qingzhou prefect nodded and said with a smile, "From now on, call him Uncle Sun. Don't call him Lord Prefect or Lord Sun. We are all family."

Hearing what the Qingzhou governor said, Bai Lu smiled and nodded, and said softly to Bai Qingze: "Okay, from now on, just call me Uncle Sun, and don't be polite."

Bai Lu and the others got along quite well with the Qingzhou prefect.
