Chapter 101: Complete Victory

  After a fierce battle of words, it finally ended with Xi Mei's victory. Looking at Xi Mei's triumphant expression, Wang Zi Han expressed his deep concern.

  After all these years, he has never been at a disadvantage in business!

  Now this record has been broken by a little girl in front of him. Can he not be heartbroken? Can he not be disheartened?

  Sometimes it's not that you're too incompetent, but rather your enemy is too cunning!

  At this time, I can only comfort myself with such a method.

  "Right, have you thought it through?" Wang Zihan suddenly asked.

  Xi Mei was still in a state of joy and automatically blocked out everything around her, only half a day later did she hear him say, "Have you made any plans yet?"

  "Kids are just kids," Wang Haohan repeated, "Have you thought about how much this hot pot is going to cost per table?"

  In short, Xi Mei was thoroughly stunned, she was so caught up in her joy that she hadn't expected this turn of events.

  Wang Zihan crossed his arms and said calmly, "Although we've been taking care of the Tianxiang Building together all along, in reality, your family has always been in charge. Now, as usual, I'll leave the final decision to you."

  "Me?" asked Xi Mei in surprise.

  "It's you, didn't hear it wrong." Wang Zihan said with a smile.

  Sister Xi stood with her hands behind her back, standing in place for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out. Irritated, she said to him: "Ahh, I don't know, you tell me!"

  This little girl is getting into a bad mood again.

  The prince smiled and said, "You were able to argue with me just now, why are you tongue-tied all of a sudden?"

  Xi Mei didn't say a word, she just stared at him with her dark eyes, after a while, Wang Zihan gave in, "Alright, I'll help you come up with an idea. How about we charge that table 100 taels?"

  Just after hearing what he said, Xi Mei's hand warmer willingly fell into the earth's embrace.

  She pointed at the culprit and stuttered, "You, you idiot, you're sucking blood, wanting so many things, your heart is blackened!"

  Wang Zihan didn't look like he did earlier, and seriously asked him: "Xi Mei, I'm asking you, in this town, are there many rich people?"

  Sister Xi was curious and asked what this was for, but seeing his serious expression, she still nodded obediently and replied, "Many".

  "Do you still remember four years ago when pickled eggs first appeared, how did those people eat them?"

  After hearing his words, Xi Mei seemed to have returned to four years ago, when she had just arrived in this era and her family was still living a hard life.

  At that time, a knot could only be sold for 5 cents, and the cost of buying thread had to be deducted. Calculating this way, one could earn only 3 cents at most.

  It was the first time she came to the town to sell knots. She met the person in front of her, and it's been so long since then. After selling the money, the family went to the stall outside Zui Linglong to eat a few bowls of noodles.

  The more I think about it, the more distant my thoughts become. I almost recalled every detail of what happened to me over the past four years.

  Seeing her expressionless and distracted, Wang Ziheng knew she must have spaced out again.

  "Hey, wake up." A large hand waved in front of her eyes, and Wang Ziheng broke into her thoughts.

  "Oh? What did you just say?" Xi Mei rarely felt a little embarrassed.

  "If that doesn't work, then let's just play a game of cards for fifty taels. That way, you won't make much money." Wang Ziheng joked.

  Who would have thought that Xi Mei lowered her head and started thinking, and only spoke up after a long time, saying: "Fifty taels is just fifty taels, I'm afraid if I take so much money, I won't be able to sleep at night."

  After speaking with a straight face and full of confidence, she found that the person opposite her rarely didn't laugh at her.

  But instead fell into an unusual silence, gazing out at a distance through the slightly ajar window.

  He remembered when he was young, his grandmother had always taught him how to get the greatest profit at the least cost.

  What others think has nothing to do with him. What he needs to do is make the Wang family stronger, so that the Wang family can always be in a dominant position on this land.

  Will he also be ashamed of having transferred too much money and unable to sleep? The only reason he can't sleep is that the price hasn't reached a higher point!

  Snowflakes fall on the ground with a pattering sound beside my ears. At the end of my sight, there are high and steep mountains covered with thick snow.

  With a faint smile, Wang Zihan lowered his head and said to Xi Mei, "Then let's do it your way, fifty taels is fifty taels."

  He didn't tell Xi Mei that even the most ordinary dishes in Zui Ling Long could cost more than 50 taels.

  For the hot pot dinner proposed by Xi Mei, it's worth selling for 200 yuan per table!

  Since Xi Mei is willing, then let's follow her. After thinking it through, Wang Zihan took a deep breath and followed Xi Mei's pace.

  As expected, before he could get emotional for long, he heard Xi Mei say impatiently, "Hey, why aren't you leaving yet?" Wasn't he coming to her house to freeload again?

  Zhao heard Xi Mei's impolite words and a voice came from under the window, "Xi Mei, how can you talk like that? If you're not more polite, I'll make you regret it later."

  After threatening her, he turned his head and started chatting with Zheng Shi.

  She made a face in her sister's direction, ignoring his expression, and happily jumped towards the snowman.

  Wang Zihan was stunned for half a day and couldn't find any reason to continue staying at the Chen's house, so he reluctantly rubbed his nose and bid farewell to Mr. and Mrs. Zhao.

  The blacksmith has already sent word over that the pot they wanted is ready and all they need to do is come pick it up.

  Go back and prepare for hot pot, then deal with the trouble caused by Xi Mei this morning.

  Thinking of her arrogance, Chen Tianfa couldn't help but smile as he touched his own hair on his head.

  "Young master, what are you smiling at?" Erzi asked curiously, sensing that his master's mood was not bad.

  Wang Zihan shook her head and said, "Nothing, just thought of some interesting things." With Jixia's temper, who knows who can tame her in the future?

  "Bang", a loud noise, a dumpling-shaped object fell in the center of the tent. Sun Qian patted his hands and said to the young man sitting on the main seat, "Report to General, this sneaky person was caught near the military camp."

  The general in his mouth had not spoken, 'Zongzi' first opened to argue: "General, I am not here to spy on the military situation, I just got lost."

  Of course, if he said this without trembling all over like a sieve at that time, the credibility would be higher.

  "Are you lost?" The several big men wearing armor around them heard this, and they all burst out laughing. In their eyes, this was a huge joke.

  Can't believe someone would come up with such a stupid excuse, did he forget his brain or what?

  When he lifted his head again, in front of him was a black military uniform. Although it was the same color as others, he wore it with an unusual coldness and bloodiness.

  Looking up along the icy armor, the opposing general's apathetic face was even more terrifying than the biting cold wind that struck at night.

  Just standing in front of him, the enormous oppressive feeling makes one dare not meet his gaze.

  Half a day later, I finally heard a slow voice coming over, "I ask you for the last time. Who sent you?"

  Cold sweat dripped down, and the "dumpling" began a fierce ideological struggle. Speak out, and he would surely escape death; keep silent, and he probably wouldn't see tomorrow's sun.

  However, thinking back on the way here, the deputy general's gentle warning in his ear, he finally decided that it was better not to say anything.

  Since we're all going to die anyway, might as well leave a good name behind!

  The person kneeling down changed color, and finally said firmly: "No one instructed me, I came by myself."

  After listening, Xuan Yuan Lie let out a hearty laugh. Who would have thought that this laughter not only failed to put people at ease, but on the contrary, made them feel even more tense?

  "General..." Zhang Gan stepped forward, wanting to drag the man away, but before he could speak, he heard the general's cold voice: "Bring in the torture rack, I want to interrogate him in person!"

  As soon as the words fell, several big men below looked at each other in dismay. The general wasn't used to seeing these dirty scenes?

  How can he still be interrogated in person? (As for interrogation, of course it's a punishment)

  However, in this case, or rather throughout the entire imperial court, there was no one who dared to refute or refuse the young man before them.

  Thus, Sun Qian ordered his soldiers to move the goods into General's tent.

  As everything was ready, Xuan Yuan Lie walked slowly towards him, step by step, but unknowingly, these steps seemed to be pounding in his heart, and at the same time, the sweat on his face flowed down drop by drop as if it didn't cost a dime.

  He was lifted up amidst the astonished gaze of the crowd, then tied to a pillar at the back, with gentle movements, as if he were not an enemy but his own brother.

  It was as if he found it interesting, and a faint smile appeared on Xuan Yu's face. This scene not only captivated the prisoners but also made the other generals in the tent feel a chill run down their spines.

  In an instant, the smile on his young face vanished, as if everything just now was everyone's illusion. At this moment, his hair was not messy at all, and his solemn expression made people feel a chill all over their body.

  A strip of black cloth was tied over his eyes, and he handed over a few words to the person beside him. Just a moment later, the big man nodded in understanding, and only then did he return to his position, watching everything in front of him.

  "I'll ask you one last thing, will you say it or not?" Sun Qian asked out of kindness.

  All he saw was the man stammering and saying a sentence, "Not afraid."

  Then he felt his wrist being cut by a knife, and blood dripped onto the ground.

  At first, he was still calm and speechless, but as time slowly passed, the expression on his face that had been resigned to death gradually turned into one of terror.

  Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and shouted loudly, "I'm telling you, I'm telling you!"

  Several Han people heard this and couldn't help but smile and look at the young general sitting in the main seat, praising him for having a good plan.

  But when the "Zongzi" brother's black cloth in front of his eyes is removed, what a wonderful expression will be on his face!

  Haha, some friends have already guessed what's going on. That's all for today, and the excitement will continue tomorrow!

  Finally, thank you Huwū Měi Niú for the peach blossom fan, and thanks to all the kids who voted for Dà Nī, muah muah!
