Seeing the cruelty in Yu Zhengsha's eyes, Jiang Bai suddenly understood his intention. This was to intimidate this young girl. Whether in the officialdom or in the business world, she, a little woman, had the delusion that she could bring him down.

It is like an ant trying to shake a tree, which is really beyond its ability!

After this understanding, Jiang Bai finally understood everything. "Don't worry, Master. Jiang Bai knows what to do!"

Yu Zhengsha nodded with great satisfaction. As expected of his confidant who had followed him for many years, he already knew exactly what to do without him even pointing it out.

After returning to Liyuan, Yu Qingli tidied herself up a bit and changed into a silk pleated skirt with colorful flower patterns. She tied her waist with a thin golden belt. The long necklace danced gently with her steps. She looked dignified and graceful, yet lively and lovely. She asked Meihong to re-comb her hair and insert a colorful phoenix hairpin inlaid with gold and jade, which made her look a bit like a businesswoman.

"Miss, where are you going? Why didn't I hear you were going out?"

Yu Qingli sighed softly, "My father asked me to go. He said I had just taken over a bunch of useless shops, so naturally I had to go to the Luoyang Chamber of Commerce to learn some business skills, hoping to revive those shops."

Mei Hong heard this and thought to herself, it turned out to be just a gathering of businessmen, so there was no need for her to go with them.

Seeing that Mei Hong lowered her brows and her expression was unclear, Yu Qingli deliberately said, "I'm so sorry, Mei Hong. I wanted to take you with me, but my father said that the Chamber of Commerce can only admit people with invitations. The one I have was given to me by my father, so..."

"It's nothing, it's nothing, miss, don't worry about it. I'm just a little maid, I don't know anything about going to such a place, I'll just wait for you at home."

By the way, you can also make some small gifts for the eldest prince without worry, Mei Hong secretly added in her heart.

"Alright, I heard there are some rare things in this Chamber of Commerce. If I come across something good, how about I bring some back for you?"

"Don't worry, young lady. I don't want anything. I just want you to come back safely."

What a good slave!

Yu Qingli said no more. After packing up, she left the house. Jiang Bai had already harnessed the carriage and was waiting at the door. Unlike his usual long gown, Jiang Bai had dressed up specially today.

He was wearing a dark blue brocade with a blessing character pattern, with an antique jade pendant tied around his waist that looked quite old. He also wore a pair of black short boots with auspicious cloud patterns. He looked more like a wealthy businessman than usual.

Seeing that Yu Qingli had changed her clothes, which were very suitable for her status, even Jiang Bai showed some admiration in his eyes.

"Butler Jiang, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with my clothes?"

"No, quite the opposite. Miss, you are dressed very appropriately, and there is nothing wrong with it. We are going to the Chamber of Commerce this time, and we cannot reveal our identities. Therefore, I would like to take advantage of you a little. Please call me uncle."

"Butler Jiang is about the same age as my father, so he deserves to be called uncle."

Jiang Bai was a little surprised to see Yu Qingli's respectful attitude. This young lady is very flexible. Isn't she worried that he will resent her for the last time he was punished to kneel in the mourning hall?

Yu Qingli couldn't hide Jiang Bai's thoughts from her. A faint smile spread across her lips. "Uncle Jiang, there's no need to talk about the past. Qingli believes that since Uncle Jiang has been with father for so many years and is so valued by father, he is naturally not a petty person. Do you think I'm right?"

Yu Qingli's compliment made Jiang Bai feel a little embarrassed. If he really tried to make things difficult for Yu Qingli because of the previous incident, he would seem too mean. But if he did nothing, he would feel very unwilling to be bullied in vain.

After weighing the pros and cons, Jiang Bai decided to ignore such trivial matters for the time being and put the overall situation first. This time, the master asked him to bring the young lady to the Chamber of Commerce. While introducing the young lady to his colleagues in the Chamber of Commerce, he also wanted to test the young lady's background, such as how competitive the Nishangfang was in Luoyang City and whether it could become their opponent.

In fact, as far as he was concerned, there was no need for him to care about such matters. Moreover, he heard from his master that they would go to the capital to develop business, so the success or failure of the Nishangfang business was not within his consideration at all.

But Yu Zhengsha is different. He is an extremely cautious person. He will not let go of any factors that may cause harm to him. And because of Yu Zhengsha’s own experience, he will never look down on anyone, even if that person is now a beggar.

Don’t despise the poor young! Yu Zhengsha is very clear about this truth.

What's more, Yu Qingli now has the ability to make Yu Zhengsha take her seriously!

Although Jiang Bai felt somewhat disdainful of this young lady, he didn't dare to have any thoughts due to Yu Zhengsha's order. After hearing this, Jiang Bai quickly stated, "Young lady, you are right. There is no point in pursuing the past. I am not that kind of person. You can rest assured, young lady."

"In that case, thank you very much, Uncle Jiang."

The two of them got on the carriage together. The carriage was obviously carefully decorated. The exquisitely crafted body was matched with two handsome tall horses. It was simple but not simplistic, grand but not extravagant, and looked very prestigious.

Yu Qingli and Jiang Bai got on the carriage together and traveled in silence. Yu Qingli felt a little curious and inexplicably excited. In her previous life, she was only concerned with her love affair with Murong Feng and had not thought about running the shop well at this time.

It was not until later when she needed a large amount of capital turnover that she thought of coming to the Luoyang Chamber of Commerce. However, by that time, she had already missed many business opportunities.

As the carriage moved forward, Yu Qingli was thinking about how to open up the situation and did not speak for a while.

"Miss, once you arrive at the Chamber of Commerce, you must follow my instructions. The rules of this Chamber of Commerce are very strict, and the president of the Chamber of Commerce has a fickle personality. You must not offend him with your words."

Yu Qingli nodded slightly. She had heard about this. In her previous life, when she helped Murong Feng to make a comeback, she had visited the president of the Chamber of Commerce. But to her disappointment, she returned empty-handed every time, so she had to give up the fat piece of meat in Jiangnan and find another way.

The identity of the Chamber of Commerce president has always been a mystery in Yu Qingli's eyes. When she heard that she could meet the Chamber of Commerce president this time, she was very happy. If she could get in touch with this person at this time, there would be no business in Jiangnan that she could not do in the future.

I don’t know if it was because Yu Qingli had something on her mind or because the carriage was moving very fast today, but soon, Yu Qingli and the others arrived at the door of Luoyang Chamber of Commerce.

Just as I remembered, the Luoyang Chamber of Commerce was built in a row of shops near the water. Behind the chamber of commerce was a flowing river, which connected to the Luo River that ran through Luoyang City. There were some lotus flowers floating on the river. The cool summer breeze made the elegant lotus flowers sway gracefully. Occasionally, the early-blooming lotus flowers emitted a faint fragrance, which was refreshing.

Standing in front of the vermilion and gold-painted gate, Yu Qingli was still somewhat disappointed with the taste of the Chamber of Commerce president. Apart from the green lotus behind the Chamber of Commerce, everything in the Chamber of Commerce was decorated with jewels and gems, showing the wealth of the Luoyang Chamber of Commerce!

A servant in exquisite clothes stood at the door with a smile on his face. When he saw someone coming, he politely stepped forward and greeted, "Sir, welcome. Please show me your invitation."

There was neither flattery nor disdain in his words, but they were calm and polite, as if he was a long-time neighbor coming to borrow something, and he was so familiar that no one would feel unhappy.

Yu Qingli sighed inwardly, wondering what kind of person could train such servants? It was truly impressive. She couldn't help but become more curious about the president of the Chamber of Commerce.

After looking at the invitations from Yu Qingli and Jiang Bai, the servant said with a smile, "Please, two distinguished guests, please sit for a while in the elegant hall upstairs. The president will be here soon."

Jiang Bai nodded slightly, his waist and abdomen straightened, which was different from his usual appearance. He raised his chin slightly, looking a bit like a master.

Yu Qingli nodded politely to show that she understood.

The servant clapped his hands lightly, and soon another servant in a neat green suit came forward to greet Yu Qingli and the others.

This division of labor is really clear!

Yu Qingli and Jiang Bai went up to the second floor together. Needless to say, the decoration of the building was full of carved railings and painted buildings. Yu Qingli had never seen anyone so extravagant that they would use golden nanmu wood worth a thousand taels to make stairs. It was simply a waste of resources. And the famous paintings hanging on both sides of the stairs were all extremely priceless.

Even though she had been the empress in her previous life and had witnessed the prosperity and luxury of the imperial palace, Yu Qingli still felt deeply moved by such a place.

The Luoyang Chamber of Commerce is really rich!

Seeing Yu Qingli looking around, Jiang Bai thought she was shocked by the things in front of her, and his eyes couldn't help but show a bit of disdain. So what if she was the Prime Minister's daughter? After all, she was a young lady who had never seen the world. Just such things alone must have overwhelmed her, right?

The two of them arrived at the elegant hall, where three merchants were already seated. Upon seeing Jiang Bai enter, the merchant sitting on the chair on the left quickly stood up and said, "It's Shopkeeper Jiang. It's been a while since I last saw you."

Jiang Bai also politely bowed to the man. When the man saw the graceful Yu Qingli behind Jiang Bai, his eyes were suddenly unable to turn away.

Where did this beauty come from?!

She has willow-shaped eyebrows, cherry lips, a slender waist, a figure as graceful as a willow swaying in the wind, and eyes as clear as the bright moon in the sky. She is truly a first-class beauty!

Seeing the undisguised admiration in that man's eyes, Yu Qingli frowned, took a step back, and hid behind Jiang Bai without making a sound.
