Chapter 85 The Secret Guards Charge! (19)
The servants were newly purchased in the last few months. Apart from knowing how to make rouge, there were no other strict rules. This was also the first time they had encountered such a situation. When they saw Xiong Bufan come out, they hurriedly told him that Manager Qiao had been arrested and what had just happened.
"Manager Qiao was just standing there when two men came in and kidnapped her. Manager Xiong, please go and save her!"
"Yes, when we chased after them, Manager Qiao had already been carried away."
"Please save Manager Qiao, we really couldn't catch up."
.......
The servants explained anxiously, fearing that Xiong Bufan would sell them again. Servants who were sold a second time by their master did not have a good ending and could hardly find a good master.
They couldn't even sleep peacefully, all making a racket. Xiong Bufan said in a deep voice, "Quiet down, I'll go find them." As he spoke, Xiong Bufan sniffed at the entrance of the courtyard. The familiar smell was the work of those people from the mountain stronghold. They were like ghosts that wouldn't leave. Then he ran out.
The servants looked at each other in bewilderment. The shop business had to continue, and the production of rouge couldn't be stopped either, or Manager Qiao would blame them when he returned.
After Qiao Yujie was kidnapped, she was placed in a dilapidated temple. A man there asked, "Are you sure that young master will come?"
The woman said, "I promise. Even if she doesn't wake up, we can still swindle some money from her."
"Big sister, you're so smart."
Qiao Yujie slowly woke up and saw the three people chatting. Her arms and legs were tied, and she couldn't break free at all. She vaguely remembered giving money to a woman looking for work, and then she knew nothing more. When she woke up, she was caught and brought here.
Qiao Yujie knew she had been tricked by the woman, so she pretended to be calm and said, "Who are you people and why are you arresting me?"
A man said, "Shut up and stay here quietly."
Qiao Yujie's hands were rubbed red. The woman went over, untied the rope, and re-tied Qiao Yujie with strips of cloth. "We won't make things difficult for you. We'll release you once we get the money."
This was the first time Qiao Yujie had experienced kidnapping in her twenty-odd years. Her eyes were red with fear, and she forced back her tears as she continued to ask, "Who told you to kidnap me? You should at least tell me, so I can understand clearly."
A man glanced at Qiao Yujie and seemed to have found his love; his eyes widened. He tried to untie the cloth strip, but the woman stopped him. "Dachun, what are you doing?"
Da Chun stood obediently to the side and pleaded, "Big sister, please don't tie her up, she looks so pitiful."
Another man, Erqiu, stared blankly at Qiao Yujie. Qiao Yujie knew which posture made her most beautiful. At this moment, Dachun and Erqiu began to try to untie the ropes binding Qiao Yujie.
Woman: "Beautiful women are all liars, don't be fooled."
Da Chun and Er Qiu: "She didn't say anything, she couldn't possibly be lying to us."
The woman stood in front of the two men and said, "Even the eyes of a beautiful woman can be deceiving. Go and tell the people in the village to keep a close watch on things."
"it is good."
Qiao Yujie silently shed tears. "Bufan, where are you? Please come and save me!"
Xiong Bufan, who was running, sneezed. It sounded like someone was talking about her. The smell was getting fainter and fainter. Xiong Bufan had to hurry up and catch up. Kongkong commanded, "Bufan, turn right."
"Okay." Xiong Bufan ran to the left, and Kongkong quickly said, "Bufan, you're running in the wrong direction."
Xiong Bufan stopped and said hesitantly, "No, I don't think so."
"Yes, you should run back quickly, or you'll never be able to save Qiao Yujie."
Xiong Bufan turned and ran in the opposite direction, heading straight there. For the entire afternoon, Xiong Bufan either walked around in circles or ran around the food stalls, which made Kongkong wonder if Xiong Bufan was deliberately not going to rescue Qiao Yujie.
Kong Kong said in a serious tone, "Bu Fan, don't joke with your life, whether it's your own or someone else's."
Xiong Bufan tried to argue, "I didn't, I just..."
"Go save them."
"it is good"
Before nightfall, Xiong Bufan finally arrived at the place where Qiao Yujie had been taken away. Xiong Bufan kicked open the door of the dilapidated temple and said, "Hand over Manager Qiao, or I'll report you to the authorities."
Qiao Yujie sat in a chair, while Dachun and Erqiu were busy starting a fire and cooking in the dilapidated temple. The woman stared at Qiao Yujie warily, afraid that she would run away. Xiong Bufan thought he had gone to the wrong place, scratched his head, and said embarrassedly, "Sorry, I went to the wrong place." He was about to leave the dilapidated temple, but then he remembered that he had come to rescue Qiao Yujie, so he rushed back in, "Let go of Manager Qiao."
Finally, Xiong Bufan sat down in a chair, and Qiao Yujie explained the current situation to him. Even if Xiong Bufan hadn't come, Qiao Yujie would have gotten away, it just wouldn't have been so quick.
For Xiong Bufan, the counterfeiters were a burden, but for Qiao Yujie, they were just right. She could provide them with employment, and they could produce products without worrying about the formula being leaked. Moreover, the counterfeiters had particularly sensitive noses, and Qiao Yujie believed that the rouge they made would be even more fragrant, achieving a win-win situation for both sides.
Qiao Yujie took Xiong Bufan, Da Chun, Er Qiu, and the woman to the mountain stronghold. The people of the stronghold were waiting for the woman to bring back someone who could give them money and provide shelter. Unexpectedly, she brought back two girls who seemed to have no power or influence.
A bold man approached the woman and asked, "Sister, where did the boy who robbed us go?"
The woman pointed at Xiong Bufan and Qiao Yujie and said, "The important person is right here."
The man thought the woman's eyesight was terrible; men and women are different, how could they be the same person? The woman slapped the man on the head, saying, "What I say goes. Don't think I don't know you're secretly cursing me."
The man covered his head and ran away. The older sister's mind-reading ability is still so amazing; she knows what he's thinking.
Actually, men's thoughts are written all over their faces, making it hard for women not to notice.
The woman smiled and said to Qiao Yujie, "Manager Qiao, you've seen this mountain stronghold. When can we start working?"
Although we collect tolls, we never take anyone's life, so you can rest assured, innkeeper.
Qiao Yujie nodded. "I will bring someone over to teach you in a while, but I can't teach you for free. You must sign a document for me so that both of us have a guarantee."
The woman readily agreed, "No problem."
Many people in the village are illiterate, and it's impossible to draft so many contracts in a short time. Even with templates, it would take some time to prepare hundreds of contracts.
All of this proves that Xiong Bufan overthought things. It's a bit embarrassing, but as long as Xiong Bufan reacts slowly enough, she won't realize how embarrassing this is.
After spending the night in the mountain village, Qiao Yujie and Xiong Bufan led several clever girls down the mountain. They planned to come back up after preparing their things to discuss the details of signing the contract.
The woman sat on the hilltop, watching Xiong Bufan carry four people down the mountain in a flash. She seemed to see a glorious future. One of them was smart and rich, and the other had strength that ordinary people did not have. If she worked with these two, the stronghold would not be destroyed in her hands.
The servants closed the shop door. If no one returned by today, they would report to the authorities and ask them to suppress the bandits and rescue their manager. However, this was the worst-case scenario. Once the authorities were mobilized, everyone would know that their manager had been kidnapped. In a world where reputation was paramount, the manager's life would not be easy, and their lives would suffer as a result.
Xiong Bufan ran back to the rented courtyard, panting. Things had turned out for the best. The servants rushed over to greet him, reporting all at once, "Manager, you're finally back! We were so worried about you!"
"It's good that you're back. The rouge is ready. The shop isn't open yet today; we'll open it when you get back."
……
Qiao Yujie tidied her wind-blown hair and said, "Everyone, go about your business. This month, you'll get an extra fifty coins. These two will be working with you from now on, so take them down and let them get acquainted." As she spoke, she carried Xiong Bufan back and pushed the three of them in front of everyone.
"Yes, thank you, shopkeeper."
The servants led the bandits down the mountain. Qiao Yujie immediately went to check the rouge the servants had made, preparing to reopen the shop in the afternoon. The shop had only been open for two days and business was booming. Closing it for even half a day would result in significant losses, and it couldn't continue like this.
