Chapter 651: It turns out that Shangguan Fusheng wants to be a matchmaker for his sister
Bai Lu pondered for a while, nodded, and smiled at Shangguan Fusheng: "I think it should be able to make money."
Shangguan Fusheng smiled and said to Bai Lu: "Why don't I hand over this profitable business to you, Lady Bai."
"We have already found a shop, and I have already invited the bath scrubber from Liangzhou, the cooking chef from Liangzhou, the steamed bun shop owner from Qingzhou, and the chicken rack shop owner from Zhaozhou..."
"White Lady, you can go to the shop and buy directly, and you can also hire these masters directly."
"As long as the money is in place, this store can be opened in one day!"
"How about it, is this favor worthwhile for me?"
Bai Lu was a little surprised when she heard this.
She took a deep breath and said to Shangguan Fusheng, "Master Shangguan, it is said that those who show kindness to others without any reason are either treacherous or thieves... Why are you doing this?"
"Is it really just to do me a favor?"
Shangguan Fusheng smiled and said, "You will know later."
What kind of charades is Shangguan Fusheng playing here with me?
Bai Lu was a little confused.
Looking at Shangguan Fusheng's face, Bai Lu smiled and did not force Shangguan Fusheng to say anything. She directly refused and said, "It's better for you Shangguan family to do this business yourself."
"If Patriarch Shangguan has nothing else to do, I won't accompany you. You can go back."
Shangguan Fusheng's face changed. He didn't expect that Bai Lu did not accept his kindness.
He glanced at Bai Lu and smiled at her, "We in the Shangguan family have always been upright in our work. If we do something good, we will tell you, Madam Bai Lu. If we do something bad, we won't tell you."
"So you don't need to worry about your Bai family being cheated by me."
Bai Lu twitched her lips: "Open and aboveboard, that means doing good things should be open and aboveboard, and doing bad things should be done covertly."
Shangguan Fusheng smiled and continued, "If we suspect that we are doing something bad to your Bai family store, we can just do it secretly."
"Why should I tell you this so blatantly?"
"If something happens to that specialty store, won't everything be blamed on me?"
"How could I do such a thankless task?"
"...So, the reason why I came here to tell Madam Bai Lu all this is simply because I want to open my heart to you."
"If you don't agree, I will leave immediately."
Shangguan Fusheng said this and started to leave.
"..."
Looking at Shangguan Fusheng's icy face, Bai Lu pondered for a while, then said to Shangguan Fusheng: "Are you... for your sister?"
"???"
"!!!"
Shangguan Fusheng's face froze all of a sudden!
He turned his head and looked at Bai Lu in shock, only to see that Bai Lu smiled and nodded to Shangguan Fusheng, saying, "Then I agree."
"I understand Patriarch Shangguan's desire to protect me."
"..."
Shangguan Fusheng was silent for a while, then asked Bai Lu in surprise: "How did you find out?"
"From beginning to end... I never mentioned Shangguan Yi once."
Bai Lu smiled and said to Shangguan Fusheng: "The reputation of the Shangguan family master is neither good nor bad. He is a thorough businessman and will definitely not be so kind as to give me such a big benefit."
"The reason why you did me such a big favor couldn't be just for Ye Mingzhu alone."
"So, it is very likely that he has something to ask of our Bai family."
"Then the head of the Shangguan family has such a high status in Qingzhou, what can he ask of us, a wealthy businessman from Liangzhou?"
"...They even made such a huge concession, giving us a store that is sure to make money..."
"So I thought about it, it should be about your sister."
Shangguan Fusheng's expression changed again and again. He stared at Bai Lu carefully. After a while, he smiled, nodded, and said with great appreciation: "Mrs. Bai is indeed a talented businessman."
"And being able to read people's expressions is indeed your strong point."
Shangguan Fusheng nodded and admitted it directly: "Since you have guessed it, I will admit it directly."
"That's okay. It's really for my sister."
"Recently...my sister and your brother Bai Liezhao seem to get along very well, so I thought about pairing them up."
"After all, my sister is not young anymore. She is always busy with the Shangguan family's affairs. If she does this for a long time, I'm afraid people will gossip about her."
"It's better to let her enjoy a peaceful life as a wealthy woman."
"...So I thought about it, maybe I could pair up with the second brother of the Bai family."
"Second Brother Bai is naturally very strong in all aspects, whether it is family background, character or martial arts, he is much stronger than my sister in all aspects."
"...I thought about it and maybe you guys couldn't agree to it, so I thought about taking it slow and giving you some benefits little by little so that we can build a good relationship between our two families first."
"I just didn't expect that you, Madam Bailu, would see through my plan so quickly. This is a good fate between our two families."
Hearing this, Bai Lu smiled and said, "So it's for my second brother."
Bai Lu also relaxed and said to Shangguan Fusheng directly: "If it's for my second brother, you don't have to go through so much trouble."
"Okay, okay, this matter is settled."
"After that, I will not interfere with that special shop. I will leave it entirely to my second brother Bai Liezhao to manage."
Shangguan Fusheng looked at Bai Lu in surprise and said with a smile, "Okay, I will ask my sister Shangguan Yi to do the handover ceremony of the store later."
Bai Lu and Shangguan Fusheng were both laughing happily at this moment. They clapped their hands and immediately calmed down.
Afterwards, Shangguan Fusheng whispered to Bai Lu: "Do you think they can understand what we mean?"
Bai Lu thought for a while and then smiled and said, "My second brother will definitely not understand, but Miss Shangguan may understand."
"Oh, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter who understands between the two of them, as long as they can accomplish it."
Shangguan Fusheng rubbed his head and felt a severe headache.
He said to Bai Lu: "You don't know how high my sister's standards are. She has met countless young talents, but she has rejected any of them."
"Whether they are scholars, martial arts masters, or good businessmen, she says she doesn't like them."
"But this is the first time in my life that I have seen her chatting so happily with a man."
Shangguan Fusheng was very surprised and smiled at Bai Lu, "So that's why I wanted to be a matchmaker for them."
