Moreover, Cheng Ying took the opportunity to contact Su Shaoheng, the eldest son of the Su family, and they also arranged to meet in a private room at the teahouse.

Cheng Ying waited in the private room for a while before Su Shaoheng rushed over.

Su Shaoheng cupped his hands in apology and said, "Miss Tong'er, I'm sorry I'm late!"

After taking a sip of tea, Su Shaoheng finally caught his breath and said, "Miss Tong'er, you have no idea how hot our silk is selling."

"Moreover, some time ago, they almost bankrupted some of the rivals who framed our Su family. It was really gratifying."

"Miss Tong'er, we also need to increase our output. Even though we set the price of these silks relatively high, the supply still can't meet the demand!"

After speaking, he took out a large handful of silver notes from his sleeve. "Miss Tong'er, this is the bonus for this period of time. Don't worry, I have already kept my share. All of these are yours."

Cheng Ying nodded and accepted the stack of silver notes. "Big brother, I will put the goods into the warehouse as soon as possible, but you'd better find me a bigger warehouse so I can store more goods for you."

"Because I will be going to Xuan Yue City with my family in two days, and the return date has not yet been set."

Su Shaoheng wasn't surprised to hear this. He had inquired before and learned that Tong'er's father was a scholar, and they were probably going to Xuan Yue City to take the imperial examination.

I didn't expect Miss Tong'er to come along. "Miss Tong'er, when are you leaving? Do you need to come with our caravan?"

"I've heard things are a bit unsettled lately. There's a group of bandits who have set up checkpoints on the only road to Xuan Yue City. They'll let you through if you pay enough money, but if you don't, you won't be able to get through."

"Therefore, some scholars and educated men from poor families would choose to travel by water, or follow some merchant caravans, or hire some bodyguards to escort them."

"No matter which method you choose, there are certain risks involved, and it is not necessarily 100% safe!"

“Some merchants once paid money to have the government suppress bandits, but once the government arrived with its men, the bandits would hide in the mountains and never come out. As soon as the government left, they would come out and commit crimes again, as if they had informants. It was impossible to catch them!”

Cheng Ying sneered, "Hmph, do I even need to say it? It's definitely collusion between officials and bandits. No matter how much money the merchants here offer, it can't outweigh the long-term interests of the bandits."

"Two days later, my father will contact his classmates to pool their money to hire bodyguards to escort us to Xuan Yue City. I won't be going with you then."

"I've never heard of bandits before. If bandits are blocking the road, it probably won't be easy to hire a bodyguard. There will likely be some complications. Thank you for letting me know, big brother. I'll tell my father about this when I get back."

"Okay! Big brother, you calculate how much of this goods you need, and I'll bring it over to you first."

"Once I get to Xuan Yue City, you set up the warehouse and store the quantity you need there. But you need to keep enough here, since I won't be back for several months!"

Su Shaohang slammed his fist into his palm, thinking it was a great idea!

"Alright, let's do as Miss Yilin says?"

After a quick calculation, Su Shaoheng said, "Miss Tong'er, please fill the original warehouse with goods first. I'll go and arrange another warehouse right away. Once it's arranged, I'll wait for you here. Is that alright?"

Cheng Ying glanced at the time on her wrist. There was still enough time, so she said, "Okay, let's move on to both sides. Let's hurry up and see you in a bit."

Just as Cheng Ying was about to leave the private room, she suddenly slapped her forehead and thought, why not give Su Shaoheng a cell phone, so that it would be convenient to contact him later!

So, using the bag as cover, she took out another phone from inside the storage space.

He handed it to Su Shaoheng, saying, "Big brother, take this! I almost forgot, this is a magical device that allows you to communicate across great distances. You can contact me if anything happens in the future."

Su Shaoheng took the phone. Although he had traveled all over the country and seen a lot of things, he had never seen anything like this that could make calls over long distances. He held it carefully in his hand, but he didn't know how to use it.

So Cheng Ying taught Su Shaoheng little by little. Although he was a bit rusty at first, Su Shaoheng was young and learned quickly.

He also learned how to make voice calls. Cheng Ying added him as a friend and let him try making a call. Su Shaoheng learned it after trying twice.

Besides being able to make calls, he also learned how to activate the intelligent voice function and was having a lot of fun with it.

He was also very interested in the music, opera, photography functions, and mini-games on it. Su Shaoheng thought to himself, "There are such amazing things in the world. Luckily, I met Miss Tong'er. Otherwise, I would never have even heard of such a thing, let alone owned it."

Cheng Ying observed Su Shaoheng from the side. She saw only surprise in his eyes, but no greed, which put her at ease.

Because time was limited, Cheng Ying reminded Su Shaoheng, "Big brother, you should go find the warehouse quickly! We'll arrange the goods properly so I can leave with peace of mind!"

Su Shaoheng was startled and then remembered that he had to take care of important matters first. He would have plenty of time to figure out his phone later. "Okay, I'll go right away."
