“So Miss Shen.” Hong Ling smiled and said, “I wonder if you are here to buy or sell?”
Shen Miao said, “Buy and sell.”
Hong Ling couldn’t help but be stunned. She quickly regained her composure and asked with a smile, “Then how much is this deal worth?”.
Shen Miao shook her head.
Hong Ling did not understand what she meant. “Miss Shen…”
Shen Miao’s voice was calm as she said, “I’ve already said earlier that the deal I want to do is too big. I won’t talk about it with the assistant, nor will I talk about it with you. I want to talk about it with your master.”
Hong Ling suddenly found herself speechless. This was the first time she was treated so rudely. For a moment, she instinctively wanted to flare up, but when she looked up and met Shen Miao’s gaze, she was slightly stunned.
The girl opposite her did not look old. Her eyes were as clear as water, but when she looked at people, there seemed to be danger lurking underneath those calm eyes. She was exhibiting an inexplicable aura of dignity. Hong Ling felt that Shen Miao had no fear at all when she was confronting her. It was as if she was merely talking to her subordinate.
Hong Ling’s heart skipped a beat, and her anger instantly disappeared. She had been doing business with people from all walks of life and was quite good at judging people. This girl’s aura… was a little intimidating. She did not know where Shen Miao came from, but she actually felt a little frightened.
“Miss Shen, I’m the person in charge here. If you want to do business, you naturally have to do it with me,” she said. Although she felt that Shen Miao’s identity was extraordinary, Hong Ling was not someone to be trifled with either. She put on a broader smile and continued, “I’ve seen all kinds of precious items and a humongous amount of money.
“It has nothing to do with money.” Shen Miao smiled. “I’ve said it before. You can’t make the decision.” She looked around. “I came with sincerity, but you guys don’t seem to want to reciprocate with sincerity. All Knowing Scholar has disappointed me.”
Hong Ling had never met someone so straightforward. The smile on her face immediately turned cold, and she said, “I don’t think Miss Shen is here to do business. Since Miss Shen doesn’t trust me, I have no choice.”
Shen Miao stared at her. After a while, she said, “In that case, I’ll sell you a piece of news first.”
Hong Ling paused for a moment in shock. With a calm expression, Miao Yin continued, “Back then, the sisters of the Chen family in Yuzhou were missing. How about I sell this news to you? If you think this news is valuable, please ask the person in charge to come out and meet me.”
After taking a moment to gather herself together, Hong Ling straightened her back and said, “Miss Shen, please wait for a moment. I will come back soon.”
Hong Ling left in a hurry. The few green-clothed maid servants in the tearoom looked at Shen Miao curiously, clearly not knowing why Hong Ling suddenly left after hearing her words.
Shen Miao looked at the teacup in her hand. The tea was made of top-grade Mountain tea, and the fragrance of the tea was rich. Coupled with the faint incense in the tea room, it made people feel relaxed. Clearly, the owner of this place knew the ways to enjoy life.
All Knowing Scholar was the business of exchanging information. Some people wanted to buy information while others wanted to sell information. When the person who had a particular piece of information matched with a person who wanted that piece of information, a business deal would be done. All Knowing Scholar was like the middle-men who connected two parties.
