Early the next morning, Chu Ze rarely got up early.
but……
Also, early in the morning refers to three poles of sunshine.
Lan Ruoyan's breakfast was almost gone.
Looking at Chu Ze who was standing at the door stretching, Lan Ruoyan greeted him cheerfully: "Brother Chu Ze, we are ready. Let's go out after breakfast."
"Okay." Chu Ze touched Lan Ruoyan's head.
Lan Ruoyan bent her eyes and rubbed her head into Chu Ze's hand like a kitten.
It makes people's hearts soften.
The two of them had a sticky breakfast and went out together.
Chu Ze, Lan Ruoyan, Zhao Si and Bailu, the four of them rode horses and quickly approached Jurong.
He had just left here not long ago, and Zuo Ying's carriage was in front of the Chu Mansion.
Zuo Ying jumped out of the carriage, picked up the hem of her clothes, and strode up the steps.
He knocked on the door and walked straight in.
"Hey, hey, Mr. Zuo, what are you going to do?" The concierge quickly stopped him, preventing him from going inside.
Zuo Ying clicked his tongue irritably and said, "We have something urgent to do to see Chu Ze. Get out of the way. You're delaying something important and you can't afford it." He impatiently wanted to bypass the concierge and continue walking inside. .
The concierge caught up with Zuo Ying again, stretched out his hand again, and stopped him: "We know, but it's useless for you to go in."
Useless?
Zuo Ying paused, and he couldn't help feeling panicked.
Chu Ze refused to let his servants let him in, and said it was useless for him to go in.
Does Chu Ze not want to see him again?
Zuo Ying opened her mouth several times, but she didn't dare to ask this question.
He is afraid that the result will be something he cannot face.
The concierge looked at Zuo Ying, whose face suddenly turned pale, and asked worriedly: "Master Zuo, are you okay?"
"We, we..." Zuo Ying swallowed, and he calmed down before continuing, "Chu Ze, doesn't he want to see us..."
"Huh?" The concierge was confused.
He looked at Zuo Ying, who looked very ugly, strangely, and said with a smile: "Our master didn't say that."
"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no?"
No, didn't this person just say that it would be useless for him to go in?
Zuo Ying's eyes widened with disbelief on his face.
The concierge nodded seriously: "Yes, Mr. Chu asked Fourth Brother Zhao to wait for Mr. Zuo at the door yesterday afternoon, but Mr. Zhao waited for more than an hour, and Mr. Zuo didn't come. Since the Master asked Fourth Brother Zhao to wait, , how could you say that you can’t see the young master? But now the young master is going out with his wife.”
"Did he ask someone to wait for us yesterday?" Zuo Ying suddenly thought of what happened yesterday afternoon, and he immediately asked the concierge, "Did Wei Yuan come here yesterday afternoon?"
"That's right. He was thrown out by Fourth Brother Zhao, and he has been waiting for Young Master Zuo at the door."
The concierge gave an overview of yesterday's situation.
After Zuo Ying heard this, she felt so regretful that she beat her legs.
"This Wei Yuan, you fucking bastard, how dare you lie to us!"
The most hateful thing is that I actually believed his lies, fell into his trap, and missed the best opportunity to discuss with Chu Ze.
It's fine now, I can't see Chu Ze anymore.
etc.
The concierge said that Chu Ze was out
Where will he go?
Zuo Ying thought about everything he could think of.
Suddenly, an idea flashed in Zuo Ying's mind.
——Jurong!
This place name jumped out at once.
Chu Ze must have gone to Jurong.
Didn't Wei Yuan say that he had already sent an invitation to Chu Ze, and Chu Ze also promised to go there and attend the opening of his new store.
Then Chu Ze must have gone to Jurong now.
If he rushes over now, he will definitely be able to see someone
"We know where to find him. Here's the money for you. Let's go." Zuo Ying took out a piece of silver from her arms and stuffed it into the porter's hand. She limped down the steps with her clothes in hand. He got on the carriage three times and asked the coachman to go to Jurong quickly.
The opening of Weiyuan's bank is scheduled for the morning.
He and several investors arrived at the store early in the morning.
One or two, counting the time, waiting for the new store to open.
The news that they were going to open a store here had already been spread a day or two ago.
Because they opened a bank, not many people came to watch the fun.
But there aren't many problems.
As long as the store opposite is not open, that's fine.
"Mr. Wei, didn't you say you invited Mr. Chu? Why didn't you see him?" A funder looked left and right in the crowd, looking for Chu Ze.
They are all friends of Wei Yuan, and being able to provide him with capital depends naturally on the strength of the Wei family.
If Chu Ze could come, they would naturally want to make friends.
But if Chu Ze doesn't come, they won't be disappointed.
But if you can come, it will be easier to come.
That's why he asked.
Wei Yuan glanced at the crowd and chuckled: "If you don't want to come, don't come. Anyway, whether he comes or not, the result will not change."
When their store becomes bigger and stronger, and Chu Ze wants to curry favor with them, they may not be willing to pay attention.
"It's almost time. Let's bring out the firecrackers and get ready for the opening." Wei Yuan waved his hand behind him, and the servants immediately started moving.
Wei Yuan and the others didn't know that they were in a private room with a bamboo curtain on the second floor of the hotel diagonally across the street.
Chu Ze and Lan Ruoyan had arrived long ago.
Through the bamboo curtain, Chu Ze and Lan Ruoyan had a panoramic view of the street downstairs.
Listening to the crackling sound of firecrackers, Chu Ze ate tea and said: "Weiyuan is not bad here, and the commotion is quite lively. Hey, look at Yan'er, even the boss of the local bank is here. Congratulations." Chu Ze pointed to a few people who had just walked out and introduced Lan Ruoyan excitedly.
Lan Ruoyan was not familiar with people in the mall. Even Zuo Ying, she only met a few days ago.
She didn't know any of these bosses.
But when Chu Ze shared gossip with her, she also gave him a lot of face-saving support.
"Wei Yuan wants to open a bank, so he is the opponent of these banks. Why does he come to join in the fun? Aren't you afraid that Wei Yuan will steal their business?" Lan Ruoyan asked sincerely.
Chu Ze said: "Of course I'm afraid. But in business, what we talk about is 'harmony brings wealth'. As long as you are not fighting to the death, you will always be greeted with a smile when you meet." To be honest, Chu Ze felt that this was quite tiring.
Chu Ze would rather not earn this hard-earned money.
"Then isn't this hypocritical?" Lan Ruoyan curled her lips in disgust after hearing Chu Ze's explanation.
Chu Ze was stunned for a moment, then laughed.
He withdrew his gaze and looked at Lan Ruoyan.
"Although this does not sound good, you are right, it is hypocrisy. But how can people not be hypocritical? Whether they are officials, businessmen, or even ordinary people, who dares to say that they have never Have you ever been hypocritical?" Anyway, Chu Ze didn't dare to praise himself like this.
He, Chu Ze, has never said that he is not hypocritical.
He never claimed to be a good person.
Lan Ruoyan nodded: "That's right. By the way, brother Chu Ze, we see that there are quite a lot of people on this street and the business is quite good. Why is there a store that is always closed opposite this bank? Where is the door?" (End of Chapter)
