When Lu Wanqing saw Meng Xingzhou, she welcomed him in very enthusiastically and said, "I didn't expect Mr. Meng to come in person. I was just thinking about going to the house to apologize!"
Meng Xingzhou naturally knew that when Lu Wanqing said apologizing, she was referring to Xiaozhuang's matter.
Meng Xingzhou said: "We have already settled Xiaozhuang's matter. This visit is because of Guo'er's wishes. She has a lot of things to do, so she asked me to stop by and talk to you first."
Lu Wanqing said to her heart that it would be great if you have people coming to your family. Can she still be picky? In fact, Lu Wanqing was already prepared in her heart, waiting for Sheng Guo'er to come to investigate at any time. Now that Meng Xingzhou came, Lu Wanqing knew that maybe the person who came was evil.
But regardless of whether Sheng Guoer sent Meng Xingzhou to call for punishment, she, Lu Wanqing, had to treat her with courtesy, otherwise she would really have no chance.
Therefore, Lu Wanqing smiled and offered her seat: "Mr. Meng, please take a seat!" Then he greeted: "Come, let's start the dinner!"
As soon as Lu Wanqing finished speaking, she saw the servants and servants lining up one by one to serve delicious wine and delicacies.
Lu Wanqing said: "These dishes are made by the cooks I brought from the capital. I know that Mr. Meng was once an official in Beijing, so I specially asked people to prepare these Kyoto dishes. I hope Mr. Meng can give me some advice and don't dislike it." !”
Meng Xingzhou said: "Oh, I actually only stayed in the capital for a while before. I don't know much about the cuisine of the capital, so I can't give you any advice!"
Lu Wanqing laid the dishes for Meng Xingzhou, and then toasted: "I would like to give this glass of wine to you and your wife. I did not control my subordinates strictly, and such a disaster occurred. It was not my instigation. I ask you to be more considerate. Today, It’s really satisfying to have people rectified on the spot, so do it first to show respect!”
After finishing speaking, Lu Wanqing drank a glass of wine generously.
Meng Xingzhou said: "Miss Lu, you're welcome. We have investigated and found that although this small village has given you advice and served as your family's steward, he did not use your family's resources and connections when he avenged his personal revenge. It is enough." It proves that Miss Lu didn’t know anything about it, and Guo’er certainly knew about it, so she didn’t blame you!”
Lu Wanqing couldn't believe what Meng Xingzhou said. Since she believed in him, why didn't Sheng Guoer come in person?
But then Lu Wanqing thought about it carefully and felt relieved. After all, it was her men who had harmed her younger siblings. She had given herself enough face by letting her husband come and not reporting the crime and implicating her. If Sheng Guoer came in person , wouldn’t it mean that Sheng Guoer was slapped in her own face?
If it were him, he wouldn't come.
In fact, Sheng Guoer was obviously trying to set a new standard for himself. If it was still unreasonable, then stop talking about this cooperation.
After Lu Wanqing understood the key, she said: "Thank you very much for Boss Sheng's trust. In the future, I will definitely know people with a clear eye and strictly control my subordinates. Boss Sheng is very open-minded, and I am willing to do anything for Boss Sheng!"
Meng Xingzhou said: "Guo'er asked me to come here this time to discuss cooperation. Let's not talk nonsense and talk about business!"
Lu Wanqing's eyes widened and she asked in disbelief: "What? Do you want to discuss cooperation with me?"
Meng Xingzhou nodded and signaled Shaoyao to bring the contract he had taken from Sheng Guoer.
"Ms. Lu, this is the cooperation agreement drafted by Guo'er. Please take a look at it!"
Lu Wanqing took the cooperation charter and read it carefully. She felt that this charter was unlike anything she had ever seen before. It was not only clear and organized, but also clearly divided rights and obligations.
Sheng Guoer's ability is indeed extraordinary. Even the peace agreement between the Dasheng Dynasty and the Dongyuan Empire is not so careful and clear with such a charter!
When she saw the share ratio, Lu Wanqing said with some confusion: "Why is my ratio higher? Shouldn't it be you who have more?"
Meng Xingzhou was trained by Sheng Guoer before he came, and Sheng Guoer told him how to answer if Lu Wanqing asked about the ratio.
Meng Xingzhou said: "Miss Lu, what Guo'er means is that if our share is relatively large, we will not be able to enjoy it in the capital. After all, your family has a certain prestige in the capital. This is the first point."
Then, Meng Xingzhou stood up with a smile and continued: "Second point, Guo'er knows that the reason why you cooperate with us this time is actually to leave a way out for yourself. Guo'er appreciates independent women who can plan for themselves. , Therefore, she is also willing to help you realize your dream. Our requirements and hopes are all written in it. If you agree, we will sign this cooperation charter. In the future, we will have mutual benefit and common development, what do you think?"
After hearing this, Lu Wanqing praised her repeatedly and said, "They say Sheng Guoer is wonderful and beautiful, but I didn't expect her to be so generous and magnanimous. It really makes me ashamed. Okay, from now on, the Lu family, your Meng family, and the Pei family will Cooperate and make money together!”
Meng Xingzhou nodded, and after watching Lu Wanqing sign the cooperation agreement, he said, "Okay, please do Miss Lu do her part according to the requirements in the cooperation agreement!"
Lu Wanqing nodded and said, "Mr. Meng, please rest assured that I will do my part well."
After the two chatted for a while, Shaoyao reminded the young master that it was time to go back, so Meng Xingzhou stood up and said goodbye. Lu Wanqing specially sent a car to take Meng Xingzhou back home.
After returning home, Sheng Guoer asked Meng Xingzhou how the situation was. Meng Xingzhou reported truthfully and said, "It seems that Lu Wanqing feels guilty for you, so she readily agreed to this invitation and cooperation!"
Sheng Guoer smiled slightly and felt that her troika layout was basically completed.
From then on, Sheng Guoer used his brains, the Lu family used his connections, and the Pei family used his workers. The three families formed a joint venture, listened to Sheng Guoer's leadership, and made a fortune together.
Sheng Guoer's plan was to start bidding when Concubine Li came back to visit her relatives.
Early the next morning, Lu Wanqing visited Sheng Guoer.
Sheng Guoer changed her usual lukewarm attitude this time and welcomed Lu Wanqing in enthusiastically.
"Sister Lu, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
Sheng Guoer's words were full of cleverness, which made Lu Wanqing feel lucky that she didn't confront Sheng Guoer!
Lu Wanqing took Sheng Guoer's hand and said, "It's all my fault, sister. My sister didn't see the thief Xiaozhuang's wild ambition, which caused a lot of troubles and misunderstandings to my sister. You must not hate your sister, by the way. I have also prepared some things for Mrs. Wang, these are all good things, you can find a specialized doctor to take a look at them!"
Sheng Guoer said: "No need, Shaoyao, give these things to Madam Third Young Master and say they are from me!"
Shaoyao heard the words and responded, then took the things and left.
Lu Wanqing looked at Sheng Guoer gratefully and said, "How about I go see the Wang family!"
Sheng Guoer waved her hand and said, "It's better not to do it. If you meet Meng Heyou, the devil incarnate, he will cause trouble. Let's go there later!"
Lu Wanqing had heard about Meng Heyou, the third young master of the Meng family, and knew how powerful this demon king was. After hearing what Sheng Guoer said, she no longer persisted.
Sheng Guoer asked: "Sister, there must be something important to tell me when you come here this time, right?"
Lu Wanqing nodded and said, "Not only do we know about Concubine Li's wedding this time, but others also know about it!"
Sheng Guoer asked doubtfully: "Could it be your husband's family, the Chen family?"
Lu Wanqing sighed and said: "Not only the Chen family, but also the Zhong family knew it. Moreover, it was the Zhong family who encouraged Concubine Li to return to her hometown to visit relatives and build a palace. It was their Zhong Mingyuan who found Chen Liwen to cooperate! The purpose was to defeat Concubine Li. Your family!”
Sheng Guoer said: "Sister, if you help me, your husband's family won't be unhappy, right?"
Lu Wanqing said with a smile: "Of course I am unhappy, but I can just change my approach. This Chen Liwen is a prodigal son. I have long disliked him. If I marry like this, I will definitely suffer from my husband's family." Abuse, I simply give them a slap on the wrist first, so that I can stand firm in my husband's family!"
Sheng Guoer smiled and said, "Then what do you want?"
Lu Wanqing smiled and said, "The Zhong family is instigating Concubine Li. Don't we, the Lu family, have no one to live with Concubine Li?"
Lu Wanqing talked about her relationship with Concubine Li.
Concubine Li's father was the prime minister of the dynasty and was very close to Wei Jinzhong. After Wei Jinzhong's fall, Mr. Li urgently needed a chance to distance himself from the relationship. Lu Wanqing's father could testify that Mr. Li and Wei Jinzhong did not have the slightest crony relationship. Therefore, Lu Wanqing Qing can use such a clue to contain Concubine Li. In this way, Concubine Li will be indecisive, which gives Sheng Guoer and the others a chance to breathe. Otherwise, Concubine Li will openly build a plank road and secretly plot this plan with Chen Cang. The project was given to the Chen family.
At that time, the Chen family and the Zhong family will make a lot of money, the Zhong family will make a comeback, and the Chen family will become famous.
Lu Wanqing has already revised a letter and sent it to the capital, explaining the whole story to her father. It won't take long for Mr. Lu to settle the matter.
Sheng Guoer thought to herself that this was really lucky. At this moment, the little koi carp appeared in front of her eyes again. This time, the little koi carp did not give any warning. It just swam happily in front of her eyes. It seemed that she was happy for Sheng Guoer. .
Lu Wanqing was about to ask Sheng Guoer for advice on what to do next.
After thinking for a while, Sheng Guoer said: "Since your father has given us a buffer of time, we must formulate a strategy next."
Sheng Guoer's idea was that Lu Wanqing's name should not appear in the eyes of the Chen family. In other words, once the face was broken, it would not be possible to explain the problem in a few words. The Chen family could not help but get angry. Divorce is possible.
But Lu Wanqing is her most powerful connection in the capital and must be maintained. Therefore, Concubine Li's choice is the key.
If Concubine Li can be allowed to take the initiative to choose Sheng Guoer's team, then the Zhong family and Chen family will have to accept it no matter how unhappy they are!
Moreover, Lu Wanqing's name will not appear on the contract in the entire plan, and Sheng Guoer will be the only one who signs the contract.
But the reason why Sheng Guoer signed the previous cooperation agreement with Lu Wanqing was actually because Sheng Guoer wanted to hold Lu Wanqing's hand in order to prevent her from rebelling in the future.
But Sheng Guoer did not express this idea, but expressed her intention to protect Lu Wanqing first.
Lu Wanqing was very grateful to Sheng Guoer, but she said with doubts, "Then what should we do next?"
Sheng Guoer said: "Now that the Zhong family and the Chen family are in the limelight, it is very difficult for us to surpass them in terms of craftsmanship. Because the Chen family has survived for a hundred years, they must have similar construction techniques to Lu Banshu, so instead, we Just do what you want and use the weakness of people's hearts to complete this counterattack!"
Lu Wanqing asked doubtfully: "The weakness of the human heart?"
Sheng Guoer smiled slightly and said: "Yes, first, show weakness. The Chen family sees us showing weakness. Based on your understanding of Chen Liwen, what will happen to the Chen family?"
Lu Wanqing muttered: "You must be underestimating the enemy!"
Sheng Guoer took over and said, "Yes, then he has entered my trap!"
Lu Wanqing said: "What kind of trap?"
