Chapter 673: Beaten Up Again
Editor: Henyee Translations
Nie Shuang controlled her eyes from glancing at the milk tea. Then, she said to the young lady who was looking at her eagerly, waiting for her to praise the milk tea, “Keke, wait for me here first. I’ll go look for your elder sister. I’ll be back soon.”
As she spoke, she stood up and instructed the maidservant standing at the door, “Take good care of the two children.”
Without waiting for the maidservant to respond, she went downstairs.
Gu Yundong was still welcoming the guests at the door. There were a lot of people today.
She really did not expect her father’s twenty-odd classmates to be so influential. Almost every family had sent people over. Now, the courtyard behind her shop was almost full.
The problem was that these people were actually very happy to gather together and talk. At the same time… they ate.
Zhou Dafu and the others were also in a daze. Actually, the Zhou family was not the only one eying the Gu family’s shop. Many people in the prefectural city knew that such a shop that specialized in selling canned food and white sugar was about to open.
After all, the fliers were everywhere. Therefore, many people with some family background wanted to see what kind of background the Gu family had.
If she didn’t have any background, they could pressure her to hand over the recipe for the canned food.
If she had some backing but wasn’t very powerful, they could cooperate and let her supply the goods. It would be a win-win situation for everyone.
However, from the looks of it, the Gu family clearly had the confidence to open a shop in the prefectural city and sell rare things like canned food and white sugar.
Not to mention that the young master of Jinxiu Restaurant had gone in, even the young lady of the Nie family had come later.
There was no doubt about the Nie family’s status in the entire prefectural city. No one dared to challenge them. Therefore, the moment they saw the Nie family appear, more than half of them gave up.
However, there was also a small group of people who were originally at odds with the Nie family. They were also people with a strong family background. They took a fancy to the sugar business and would not retreat so easily.
Of course, this did not include the Zhou family.
Zhou Dafu no longer had any intention of causing trouble. His expression was a little ugly and defeated.
There was unwillingness and fear, but he still gave a look and asked Steward Zhou, who was secretly hiding outside Gu’s shop, to hurry back.
Steward Zhou’s legs were a little weak now, and he felt like a disaster was imminent.
As expected, when he returned to the carriage, he was kicked hard by Zhou Dafu.
“Didn’t you say that Gu’s has no background or backing? Didn’t you say that this family is just a bumpkin from the countryside? Didn’t you say that if everything is handed over to you, you can definitely stop their shop from opening? Look, look, this is called no backing, right? Damn you!”
He kicked Steward Zhou again. “Fortunately, I was careful and didn’t let those local hooligans find trouble immediately. Otherwise, I would be the one dead now! You useless thing, why aren’t you calling those people back?”
“Yes, yes, Old Master.” Steward Zhou was angry but did not dare to say anything. He could only lower his head and quickly agree.
Unexpectedly, just as he turned around to leave, he saw another carriage parked at the entrance of the Gu family’s shop.
Steward Zhou’s pupils constricted when he saw the sign on the carriage. Ignoring the fact that Zhou Dafu was angry, he hurriedly called out, “Master, look.”
“What are you looking at? What else is there to see? Let me tell you…”
As he spoke, he followed Steward Zhou’s finger and looked over. In the next moment, his voice seemed to be blocked and he could not say a word.
