  "My older cousin used to work for Old Zhou. He just went back home and left a piece of clothing here, so I came by to help him find it." Ye Zhuo said with a smile.

  "Oh." Ye Yuxi was about to speak again when a man in his 40s suddenly walked in from the entrance. He was over 1.8 meters tall, with a robust build and a menacing look on his face, which was covered in stubble. He raised the package in his hand and said to Boss Zhou, "I have a piece of jade here, can you guys process it for me?"

  She had a glimpse of this man, and her heart skipped a beat. She had seen him before. Once she was going to the Gong's house from the corner door, and Wu Ayi from the Gong's house was standing at the entrance of the alley talking to this man.

  "I'm sorry, brother. My workshop is going to be sold now, and I won't take any more orders." Old Zhou said with a polite bow and smile.

  "Resell?" The man raised an eyebrow, "I was just about to buy a workshop." His eyes scanned the workshop and he sat down on a stool, "I'll give you 250 taels of silver, how's that?" He stared steadily at Old Man Zhou's face.

  Mr. Zhou's smile sank, and he cupped his hands together, saying, "Sorry, I won't sell at this price." He then turned around and made a gesture to Ye Yuxi, "Brother Ye, come on in, let's sit down and talk."

  Ye Yuxi nodded and was about to walk in, but the man suddenly stood up and blocked his way, saying to Manager Zhou: "Manager Zhou, it's better if we talk first, otherwise, you'll regret it." Then he turned to Ye Yuxi and said: "Old man, this has nothing to do with you, you can leave!"

  Ye Yiqi was furious and slammed his cane on the ground, shouting: "What do you want to do?"

  "I naturally want to discuss business with Old Man Zhou. Don't get in the way here, otherwise..." He looked up and down at Ye Yuqi, then shifted his gaze to Ye Zhuo, a meaningful smile suddenly appearing on his face.

  "What... what do you want?" Ye Yuqi was startled and quickly moved her body a step forward, blocking Ye Zhuo in front of her, separating the man's gaze.

  The man threw the bundle in his hand backwards and snorted: "If you don't leave now, you'll know what I'm going to do."

  Mr. Zhou had already been suspicious when Ye Zhuo brought up the topic earlier. Seeing this person's appearance, he knew exactly what he wanted to do. He squeezed his body forward and stood in front of the man, saying loudly: "I won't sell it to you, are you going to hit me? I don't have anything to discuss with you, hurry up and leave. Otherwise, I wouldn't mind letting the people from Nie's workshop come over and help mediate."

  When he heard the three words "Nie Family Workshop", his face changed color. They had done so much and spent countless thoughts, but they didn't dare to force Old Zhou to sell the workshop to them, because that damned Nie family's workshop was located right across the street. If anything big happened on this street, someone from the Nie family would come out to take charge. The Nie family was wealthy and influential, with a high social status, and could crush people at will, but they were not someone they could afford to provoke.

  However, this street is the most famous jade carving street in Nanshan Town. Those out-of-town merchants like to come here to stock up on goods; and private individuals with good jade materials are also willing to come here to find someone to carve them. Therefore, if you want to open a jade carving workshop, it will only be good for business if you open it on this street. The Zhou family's workshop has been so carefully thought out that they have forced him to sell, and they naturally won't let it go easily. Not only do they want to get it at the lowest price, but also they think the Zhou family's son is not being forced by them to gamble, and this workshop is not being sold by Zhou Laoban under duress. This matter is known to the Nie family, and they don't dare to intervene either.

  So he quickly calmed down and said, "You want to sell the workshop, I want to buy the workshop, this is a normal transaction. Since someone from the Nie family has come, I'm not afraid either." Then he warned Ye Yuxi, "However, I would like to advise some people that with a big bowl, you can eat a big meal. Even if Mr. Zhou agrees to sell the workshop to you, your yamen (government office) won't be able to transfer ownership. It's better to leave early."

  This is the first time, Boss Zhou still doesn't understand what it means, he's been in the business for decades. Gong Shuban refers to the transfer of ownership of shops and land. This person, means he is a member of the Gong or Tao family. On one hand, they are plotting against him, forcing him to sell his shop and workshop; on the other hand, they want to buy the workshop at the lowest price. These people really know how to do evil things thoroughly.

  What else can be done if it's not sold? They have the power and means, and if they don't sell, who knows what other means are waiting for him. Besides, even if he sells this workshop to Old Ye, it would still harm him. Since his family is already ruined, he doesn't care about these hundred taels of silver anymore. He should just give them to his son to buy medicine and dissipate the disaster!

  He dispiritedly nodded to Ye Yuxiu and forced a smile that was harder than crying: "Brother Ye, I owe you one today. You go back first. When we're free, let's have a couple of drinks together."

  "Lao Zhou, what's going on? You're selling the workshop for 250 taels of silver?" Ye Yiqi exclaimed. He didn't understand, this person had just spoken a few harsh words and now it seemed that he was connected to Gong Shuban, and Old Master Zhou had compromised? Gong Shuban was really something! And wasn't she still his nephew's wife?!

  Although Ye Zhuo didn't understand what benefits the workshop brought to this street, thinking that the Tao and Gong families had put in so much effort and gone through such a big circle, it was probably worth having this workshop, which showed that this workshop was absolutely good stuff. Moreover, she had just been driven out of the second house of Ye's family because of Gong Shi's squeeze, although this was what she had intended to do, but this revenge still needed to be reported. Taking away what Gong Shi wanted and making her spit blood with anger was the best way to take revenge.

  She pulled Autumn Moon to one side and said in a low voice, "You go ahead, find that Du Gong from earlier. I'm competing with someone to buy a workshop, and for the sake of fairness, I'd like him to be a witness. If he's not willing, don't bother asking him, just come back."

  "Yes." Akizuki turned around and walked away.

  On the other side, Old Zhou heard Ye Yuxi's question and smiled wryly, shaking his head: "Old brother, don't ask. Take your niece back first, I'll come to apologize tomorrow."

  As Qiu Yue entered the Nie family compound across the street, Ye Zhuo finally turned around and continued Master Zhou's words: "Master Zhou, although I don't know what happened, you're not doing things right. You've been in business for a lifetime, you should also know the rules here. If you want to sell the workshop, we should be the first to talk about it, shouldn't we? Alright, let's not discuss who came first or last, but shouldn't the one with the higher price get it? We offered 350 taels of silver, while this master offered 250 taels of silver. Why did you want to sell it to him instead of us?"

  Boss Zhou couldn't help but smile wryly at her words and said to Ye Yuqi, "Alas, I'll be honest with you, not selling the workshop to you is also for your own good. This workshop, I can still sell it to this boss for 250 taels of silver."

  That man, upon hearing Mr. Zhou's words, revealed a smug expression on his face and glanced at Ye Yuxi with a slanted gaze: "Old man, you should recognize that Mr. Zhou is an extremely intelligent person. You'd better behave yourself and leave quickly. Otherwise, I don't mind teaching you how to become smarter!"

  Ye Zhuang took a step forward, staring at the man: "What are you doing? Who do you think you can bully? I'm telling you, this is called forced buying and selling. I really don't believe there's no justice in this world." He then turned to Boss Zhou and said, "Boss Zhou, don't be afraid of him, if there's anything, come out with me, we'll go to the yamen to report him."

  "Haha...” The man listened to Ye Zhuo's words, not angry but laughing, took a step forward and stood in front of Ye Zhuo. "Are you going to sue? I'm afraid you won't go. Miss, you are really naive. Do you think there is such a thing as fairness in this world? Old Hua spent 250 taels of silver to buy out Zhou's workshop, but still has to call him 'master'."

  "Yu'er." Ye Yuxiu reached out and grabbed Ye Yu's arm, taking a step back.

  He was also a personal old and refined, Mr. Zhou knew that this man's identity was not simple. If he had followed his previous temper, he would have naturally wanted to argue with this person. But since experiencing the Ye Pu incident, he had already had fear in his heart. He was afraid that his newly recognized granddaughter would suffer some injustice, and he was afraid that this person would use means against his relatives. If because of his own arrogance, his granddaughter suffered a disaster, then he would have lost his old life and could not make up for that regret. As long as there is money, what's the point of fighting for a mouthful of air? It's not worth putting Ye Zhuo in danger just to win an argument.

  Ye Zhuo wanted to stall for time, hoping that Du Gong could come over. She didn't think it was shameful to ask someone for help when they were in a precarious situation. When one's own strength wasn't enough, they needed to borrow power. Not using the available assistance and allowing oneself to be bullied instead was foolish.

  However, the loss in front of her couldn't be swallowed. She followed Ye Yiqi and took a step back, pretending to be naive and looking up at him: "You bought this workshop from Old Man Zhou for 250 taels of silver, but you still have to call him 'master', what kind of logic is that? You come and explain it to me. If you can't come up with a reason, I'll go out and ask the other workshop owners to judge who's right."

  "A purchase price of 250 taels, and yet you're still trying to convince me. I'd also like to hear the reasoning behind this." Suddenly, a very pleasant male voice came from the doorway. Ye Zhuo turned his head, only to see Du Haoran wearing a sky-blue cloud-patterned brocade robe, stepping across the threshold. Autumn Moon followed closely behind him, nodding slightly at Ye Zhuo.

  "Mr... Mr. Du." Old Zhou, the boss, was extremely excited and stuttered as he called out, hastily rushing over to greet him.

  Ye Zhuo saw him and was even more at ease. She was still worried that Du Haoran had the surname Du, and these people didn't know he was a Nie family member. Now that Old Man Zhou recognized him, there was no need to waste any more words.
