The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 1515: Chapter 1515: Finding It Amusing

Shu Yu heard the question, paused for a moment, and couldn’t help but chuckle.

As expected, Wei Ronghua is indeed a cautious person and still asked the question.

Shu Yu didn’t intend to hide the meaning from him, since the two parties would be cooperating long-term, it’s important to be sincere on this point.

Seeing Shu Yu’s momentary silence, Wu Fengyuan immediately stood up sensibly, ”You guys talk slowly, I’ve been sitting too long and have a backache, I’m going to the courtyard for a walk.”

Shu Yu didn’t stop him, and after Wu Fengyuan left the living room, Hu Geng and Wei Fangfang exchanged a glance at the door, both standing up to follow him.

Hu Geng said, ”We have a lot of fresh vegetables in the courtyard, all carefully tended by Fangfang. They’re crisp, sweet, and delicious. Shall we pick some for Young Master Wu to try?”

Wu Fengyuan laughed, ”Sure, I liked those vegetables when I came in just now.”

While talking, the few of them moved away from the living room.

As they walked further, Wu Fengyuan looked back once.

He then saw Wei Ronghua’s somewhat surprised expression. He raised his eyebrows, thinking that the introducer was indeed unexpected.

Wei Ronghua was genuinely surprised, he even doubted what he heard, so he asked again, ”Who did Monarch Lu Xiang mention just now?”

Shu Yu repeated, ”It was Old Master Miao who introduced us.”

Wei Ronghua said nothing, he just stared at the ground in front of him without reacting for a long time.

It should be said, he didn’t know how to react.

He had left the prefecture at the time because Old Master Miao forced him out, leaving him disgraced and resentful, with a deep sense of unwillingness and disdain for Old Master Miao. And now, after all these years, Old Master Miao was introducing him to work for Monarch Lu Xiang? What was that?

Wei Ronghua instinctively thought that Old Master Miao might have some plot.

But he quickly dismissed the thought, since if Old Master Miao wanted to deal with him, he could have crushed him back then, when he was powerless and even lost his only livelihood, Old Master Miao could have squashed him easily.

But Old Master Miao let him go, even though he was then forced to make a living in Donggu County, and for all these years, Old Master Miao indeed hadn’t caused him any more trouble. If there had been any scheme, it wouldn’t have waited until now.

Wei Ronghua found it inexplicably funny.

Shu Yu sipped his tea quietly, waiting for him to process everything slowly.

After a long time, Wei Ronghua finally lifted his head and asked Shu Yu, ”Are Monarch Lu Xiang and Old Master Miao friends?”

”Not really, we just had a transaction and got acquainted. He knew I wanted to open a shop recently, and it so happened he had seen you in Donggu County before, so he did me a favor and wrote a letter to inform me about your situation. As for whether to hire you, that’s my decision.”

Wei Ronghua frowned, ”He came to Donggu County?”

Shu Yu smiled, ”I think you should know Old Master Miao’s current situation, right?”

”Yes, I know.” Although no longer in the prefecture, he had met many people there back in the day. Old Master Miao’s brothel and several shops closed down, and the business went downhill. This was a big event in the prefecture, so naturally, friends came to tell him, and some even asked if he had any intention of returning to the prefecture.

Wei Ronghua started thinking about returning to the prefecture after hearing this, especially since he was being squeezed out by his new boss here.

Shu Yu said, ”Old Master Miao is now involved in other business, small in scale, and personally handles many affairs. He came to Donggu County recently to get goods and should have seen you around that time.”
