Chapter 602: Fame (2)
When Bai Ziqi took Qin Xiaomei home to pack their things, all the people who had laughed at and scolded her were dumbfounded.
The owner of this teahouse is a big shot. The news had already spread since Wu Zichang got into trouble. Why would this owner help Qin Xiaomei? But no matter what, Fang Chen's words were indeed verified.
The rumors about Qin Xiaomei disappeared the day after she moved into the teahouse.
Some people may ask, why should we be afraid of the owner of a teahouse.
At this time, people nearby will definitely answer, how can this be an ordinary teahouse owner? Have you ever seen a teahouse owner who is so cautious even to the county magistrate? Have you ever seen a teahouse with two burly escorts standing at the door every day?
As the news spread invisibly, the identity of Ji Xiaomu's teahouse owner became more and more mysterious, until one day even the city lord came to the teahouse in person to ask to see the owner, and the people were completely convinced.
When Ji Xiaomu learned all this, she was a little amused and helpless.
Fang Chen thought this might be a good effect.
Ji Xiaowu said depressedly. "What's good about it? I feel like I've become a big sister in society."
"Auntie, you will come into the sight of the people sooner or later. You want to make this place a barrier, so your idea of standing behind the scenes is unlikely. I am a military general, and the people may not be unfamiliar with me. Military generals are in charge of external affairs, so the inner city will of course be managed by someone else." Fang Chen looked at Auntie Ji and said seriously.
Ji Xiao was silent, but after thinking for a while, she couldn't help but ask, "Isn't there Uncle Qu? He is the lord of the city, right?"
"In the eyes of the people in the city, he is an official appointed by the court. We are no longer under the command of the court. How can the people listen to him? It may even be disadvantageous to him." Fang Chen said.
"...Bai Yichen?" Ji Xiaomu said again without giving up.
"He is a businessman, and he is very successful as a businessman, but how could the people listen to a businessman?" Fang Chen shook his head. Bai Yichen was the first person he excluded.
"I am also a businessman?" Ji Xiaowu raised her eyebrows, "I am the owner of the teahouse."
"You only own a teahouse! But Bai Yichen controls... all the shops in the whole city." Fang Chen glanced at Ji Xiaomu, who lowered her head. "I always thought I was just behind the scenes."
"I don't think you need to worry. This incident may be just a coincidence, but your image has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Your status is different from ours." Fang Chen hugged Ji Xiaomu, "You stood up for women and even helped Qin Xiaomei so that she would no longer be bullied. Such deeds will never happen to us."
"They need a belief. I am their God of War. They all know that I can defend my country, but they don't believe that I can manage my 'internal affairs'." Fang Chen said with a smile.
"You are just beginning to gain authority in their hearts. Take your time! Don't worry. No matter what happens, I will protect you!" Fang Chen coaxed, and Ji Xiaowu nodded. "I'm not worried. I'm just afraid that I can't do well..."
"I might believe you for everything else, but I don't believe this." Fang Chen was laughed at. "You said you handed over the village to the village chief and his godmothers. You said your brothers and sisters had their own ideas. What about the teahouse? The escort agency? The bandits?"
"...Do I take care of so many things?" Ji Xiaomu herself was also at a loss, because in her opinion, she didn't have to worry too much about these things. She just started them and then let them go.
