Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 2172: Chapter 2108: Top Six of the Capital

”That’s right, let’s do it this way. I don’t believe Gao Wei won’t be tempted.”

”When Gao Wei really gets the tea shop, we’ll have contributed, right? Then can we have the tea shop sell our pastries too? We could also enjoy the profits!”

Gao Yan laughed coquettishly, ”Think about it, this way we connect with the Gao Family, our shop can make money, and we can get rid of the owner of Youqingwei, isn’t this killing three birds with one stone?”

Niu Dazhi thought about it and, though he still felt the pinch of several thousand silver dollars, he figured it was still worth it. Couldn’t he earn it back later?

So he agreed to spend more than seven thousand bucks to buy two tins of Liunian.

As for not succeeding, both he and Gao Yan thought that was impossible.

The Gao Family, at least ranks within the top six in the Capital. If they couldn’t handle it, it’s unlikely that Youqingwei’s backing could overshadow the Gao Family, right?

How could that be possible?

Could it be that just randomly picking a house means you’re at the top of the elite?

There’s no such coincidence in the world. If there truly was, it would just mean they are incredibly unlucky.

Niu Dazhi’s sister was soon called over, took the money, donned a hat, and went to Youqingwei to buy Liunian.

Liunian is so expensive, when someone suddenly comes in without a word and buys two tins, the shop assistants were a bit curious. But they’re in the business of selling tea, it’s not like they would grill someone for buying the most expensive tea, so they quickly packed the two tins of Liunian and handed them to her.

Since it’s the most expensive tea, Chiang Xiao paid particular attention to the packaging. No matter how many boxes a customer buys, there’s always an elegant and suitable package.

The tea tins were custom-made, very thin bone china with patterns she painted herself. You could say that just the small tea tin alone was quite valuable.

The two tins came with a hard cardboard box, also featuring Chiang Xiao’s hand-painted tea leaves, a pleasing green amidst a faint mist.

Then it was tied with silk and placed in a beautiful hand-held paper bag.

All of this was custom packaging, each one exquisitely crafted.

Niu Dazhi’s sister watched in a daze as the clerk packed everything and handed it to her, quietly marvelling at the beauty and the detail.

Though it was said that the two tins combined had only ten taels, they looked like they were worth every penny.

At this time, Chiang Xiao and Meng Xinian were upstairs.

But even downstairs, they wouldn’t question a regular customer on why they bought two boxes of Liunian.

Chiang Xiao was asking Song Xingbai.

”Were you scared today?”

Song Xingbai found her tone a bit strange. Chiang Xiao seemed to be her age, no, probably even younger, yet her tone was as if she was much older.

”A little.” She admitted honestly.

She was really scared tonight, because at first, she didn’t know if the tea shop would protect her with all its might. Some businesses are afraid of offending local thugs, so they’d sacrifice others if they could, not really standing up against them. After all, they have to keep their business running in the future.

At most, they just won’t hire her later, it’s no big deal to them.

If something happened to her...

That would be a problem for later, they obviously needed to handle the current crisis first.

So, at first, she was really scared.

Until Cheng Qiulian stepped out, and Kuang Yunxian was always protecting her, her heart finally calmed down a bit.
