Chapter 32 Profiteering
After Tang Yuxing left, Gu Yue calmed down and prepared to go to Shangguan's house to try his luck, but at this moment he realized that the "kind" Tang Yuxing only said a name but did not give coordinates.
But the problem is that everyone in the city avoids Gu Yue and even asks for directions becomes impossible, which makes Gu Yue very depressed.
Fortunately, the wheelchair uses mental power and does not require charging, otherwise, if you turn most of the Chudu in a row, Gu Yue will definitely cry without tears.
Looking at the tall building with the plaque "Shangguan Chamber of Commerce" hanging in front of me, Gu Yue felt a little abrupt. After all, this place is full of bungalows, and the rare two or three floors are already big restaurants and shops. The eighth floor is directly considered an ancient building, right?
The business of this chamber of commerce seems to be very good, with people coming in and out in a constant stream. However, when they saw clearly that Gu Yue was on the wheelchair blocking the gate, those who were about to go in chose to escape, while those who were about to come out chose to retreat...
Gu Yue was very helpless. This was already the rhythm of avoiding the plague god.
"Your Excellency is Mr. Gu?"
"Huh?" Gu Yue, who was lowering his head and smiling bitterly, was suddenly called by someone, and he couldn't react for a while, "Uh, I am Gu Yue, are you?"
"It's on the first floor of the Shangguan Chamber of Commerce. Just call me Xiao Zhang. I wonder if you want to buy something or what's the point?"
"Hello, Brother Zhang, everyone along the way avoids me. I don't know why, but there is still someone who takes the initiative to speak. I don't know if the boss of the Chamber of Commerce is there? I have something to ask for."
"Young Master Gu, you are polite. The president is on the top floor at this time. Why not let Xiaodi push you in for a break and wait for the president to contact him?"
"It's been a labor."
The sudden conversation was definitely not an impulse. The Shangguan family seemed to have been paying attention to it, Gu Yue thought so.
He didn't wait long. The manager seemed to have used a telephone communication tool to directly contact their president, and then Gu Yue was pushed into the "elevator"...
Of course, this "elevator" is personal, and although Gu Yue is curious, it is not difficult to imagine.
Compared with the dazzling array of people in the lobby on the first floor, this top floor can only be described as luxury.
"Tsk tsk, such a high seat is so luxurious, isn't it self-admiration?" Gu Yue complained deeply, and the image of an explosive household seemed to have taken shape.
But when he was pushed into the president's office, Gu Yue immediately changed.
This room, which belongs to the head of the Shangguan family, looks simple and low-key, and is incompatible with the luxury outside the door, but it is even more quiet and elegant, especially the fragrance of tea that never dissipates the owner's taste.
"Young Master Gu is here! I've been waiting for a long time!" A fat man struggling on the edge of the bald head was smiling kindly at Gu Yue.
"Are you President Shangguan?"
"The president is just a position. If Mr. Gu doesn't dislike him, I'm not going to be honest with him, wouldn't it be nice to regard himself as an uncle?"
"Is this passion a little too much? We haven't seen it before?" Gu Yue began to think with a smile, "First impression, old fox!"
"Since Uncle Shangguan is so loving, that nephew is no longer pretentious."
"Very good, very good! I wonder what the nephew is coming today?"
"I'm not hiding Uncle Shangguan, my nephew had just offended the Alchemist Association and was kicked out of the mansion by General Tang, but I didn't dare to leave the city gate. It's very likely that those who were chasing were squatting outside the city and watching, so I was desperate at the moment. I came to ask Uncle Shangguan for protection after someone's guidance."
Gu Yue guessed that President Shangguan had probably known his situation for a long time, and was probably thinking of his purpose, so he simply tried it alone.
"You are polite. Although our chamber of commerce is not big, you can live as long as you want."
"Uncle Shangguan is so polite, my nephew is really flattered, but since he has said this, I wonder why Uncle Shangguan has no worries? After all, even the General of the National Protection Army finds it difficult, right?"
Gu Yue had imagined that this person would be brave enough to agree to his hiding, after all, there would be trouble, but he didn't expect that President Shangguan agreed so readily, as if he was fearless?
"If my nephew is talking about the pressure from the Alchemist Association, there is no need to worry too much. In fact, the reason why the general is like this is mostly because the soldiers still need the elixirs provided by the Alchemist to rescue them, but I naturally don't have to look at their colors here."
The domineering aura in this sentence was not covered by a smile, which made Gu Yue truly feel that these uncles are all human spirits.
"Since that's the case, my nephew has no worries, but if Uncle Shangguan has anything that he can help, it doesn't matter, I also need experience."
"The nephew is a distinguished guest, how can you trouble you? But..." President Shangguan specially slowed down his speech and looked at the wheelchair under Gu Yue. "I really didn't expect that I saw this wheelchair again in just two days. Some things in this world are really strange!"
"Uncle Shangguan means that this wheelchair was bought from here?"
"That's right? I guess my nephew has heard the story of the wheelchair owner before. His family had no choice but to sell the wheelchair to me. It was originally unwilling to be concerned about for many years. Who would have thought that the eldest master of the Tang family actually bought it, but he was brought back by you. I have to say that this is also the fate between the nephew and the Shangguan family?"
President Shangguan smiled very well, and he seemed to have met Gu Yue too late.
"Fate, indeed, but my nephew dared to ask, how much does this wheelchair cost?"
"It's not many. After all, it's a tool that few people use, but those masters have to give them face, so the price is 10,000 taels of silver. Of course, this money is definitely nothing to the nephew."
"Uh... Actually, I'm not afraid of Uncle Shangguan's joke. My nephew is now penniless and has little idea of money after losing his memory. But for only ten thousand taels, I feel that it's a lot. Alas, I don't know when I will pay it back if I owe Brother Tang."
"So that's the case. No wonder Mr. Tang hasn't come to pay back the debt in the past two days. It turns out that's the reason."
"Arrears?!" Gu Yue was stunned, "Tang Mulin borrowed a loan to buy a wheelchair for himself? This is too kind!"
"I'm talking too much, it's okay, it's okay."
"Don't mind, since you mentioned it, why don't you think Brother Tang is missing?" Gu Yue suddenly realized that President Shangguan obviously did it on purpose.
"Actually there is not much, there are still nine thousand five hundred taels left."
"I... Tang Mulin is so scary? I only have 500 taels of money, but I dare to borrow money to buy a 10,000 yuan?" Although Gu Yue couldn't help but complain in her heart, she felt that this was really something Tang Mulin would do.
"This, Uncle Shangguan, if this is the case, can you please tell Brother Tang? What if the remaining final payment is on the little nephew? After all, this wheelchair is also used by the little nephew, and it is indeed very practical and inseparable from it."
"This is a bit difficult, my dear nephew, after all, I'm in business, so it's hard to change the documents I made easily, right?"
"Indeed, my nephew understands that it's embarrassing Uncle Shangguan, but I still beg Uncle Shangguan to fulfill his wishes. After all, my nephew owes them enough."
"Okay, since you insist, you are the owner now, and it's not too outrageous. I will make an exception for you!"
"Thank you, Uncle Shangguan!" Gu Yue cooperated for a long time and roughly understood President Shangguan's intentions in his heart. "If these 9,000-5 medicines are sold, how many of them will be?"
"Hey~! Why are you polite to nephew? But since it is for nephew, it might as well be considered a little gift for me now."
"Uh..." Gu Yue's judgment just made was overturned by herself again. "I admire you, admire you, it's indeed an old fox, this kind of favor, tsk."
"Uncle Shangguan treats my nephew so kindly, it would be too insincere to say a few more thanks. It would be better to do this. My nephew may have some business to serve Uncle Shangguan. If Uncle Shangguan is free, why not talk about it in detail?"
President Shangguan touched his two beards and was very satisfied with Gu Yue's wiseness. At least this unscrupulous attitude made him very helpful.
"Today's reception of nephews is the most important thing. How come you have no time? But nephews have come up for a while and have not served tea yet. It's my nephew's nephew. Please don't blame me, come and serve tea!"
Gu Yue smiled and shook her head, but she really didn't mind these things.
But the person who brought his eyes immediately grabbed Gu Yue's eyes and remained silent.
"This...maid? This dress is so avant-garde... Well, this figure is a bit too good..." I couldn't help swallowing my saliva before I realized that I had lost my composure. Gu Yue hurriedly turned her eyes and realized that she had not even looked at her face carefully...
But Gu Yue's actions did not escape President Shangguan's eyes. He seemed to be getting happier with his beard.
"My nephew, this is my husband's youngest daughter, Lily of the Valley. Maybe it's because I didn't give her the name, and I always lower my head and shyly on weekdays, so I specially arranged this errand to serve the distinguished guests, so I wanted her to exercise."
"It turned out to be Miss Shangguan, in the Guyue."
"Yeah." Gu Yue almost didn't hear the sound of the mosquito sing. He felt that the difference between the father and daughter was very big.
At this moment, Gu Yue saw the lady clearly. It turned out that she didn't see her face just now, not as simple as being attracted by other parts, but that she really blocked her beautiful face with her long hair and a tea tray.
Without makeup, she is extremely fair and delicate. The only regret is that her eyebrows are down and her eyes are not enough to describe her in such a state, but she seems to have a hint of fear?
Gu Yue suddenly realized that this was true. Didn’t passers-by treat him like this? A little girl probably heard something.
"Haha, the little girl really has never seen the world. Don't mind my nephew."
"Uncle Shangguan was joking. Miss Shangguan was gentle and elegant, born beautiful, extraordinary, and naturally had her own style of doing things."
"Really? Comparing with Tang Jihuang?"
"Ah?!" Gu Yue, who was confused by this sudden question, was attracted by a pair of clear eyes before he could even be stunned. However, the simple eyes were facing each other and it seemed that he could see the pure whiteness in his heart.
"Ah!" His blushing cheeks were immediately covered by his hands. Shangguan Linglun stepped back several steps as if he was frightened until he leaned against the wall and could not retreat.
"Uh..." Gu Yue was speechless, "Have you done something bad?"
"Cough cough..." President Shangguan couldn't help but intervene in the embarrassing scene. "I don't know that this girl grew up with the second lady of the General's family since she was a child. Don't look at her shy appearance on weekdays, once the word Tang Jihuang was mentioned, she would have inexplicably thoughts to compare with her. I couldn't say anything about her. After all, it's rare for this child to have some thoughts."
"So that's the case. Well, compared with Miss Lily Lion Valley and Miss Tang's second family, Chunlan and Qiuju are both good at playing. Since I was asked, although it was a little abrupt, my nephew still had to tell the truth. Just look at this look, it's absolutely right."
"Really?! You're not making me happy, are you? Can you say that if you were in front of her?"
"Of course, I don't think that this is anything against my will."
Gu Yue was speechless, "Did Shangguan Linglan have a deep obsession with Tang Jihuang? No matter how you look at it, it seems like you have been oppressed since childhood. Could it be that you have suffered mental trauma? Well, in theory, Tang Jihuang didn't like to have bad thoughts from the beginning, can she bully her since childhood?"
"Then... I will believe you. If I find out that you are lying to me, I will ignore you!" Shangguan Linglun mustered up the courage to say such a long sentence.
"Okay." Gu Yue inadvertently showed the most thoughtful smile today.
