Chapter 799 Regret
Thinking of that person, Tang Wan's eyes flickered slightly, and she said, "Master Zhao's concerns are reasonable. When doing business abroad, it is indeed necessary to find a reliable ally."

Then Tang Wan subtly changed the subject, saying, "It's quite a coincidence that I know a friend who does business between Mobei and Fuxin. He must be much more familiar with the local customs, politics, and business in Fuxin than we are."

Upon hearing this, both Master Zhao and the Fourth Young Master Zhao's eyes lit up, and their faces showed surprise.

Master Zhao quickly said, "If we could get an introduction from Miss Tang, that would be wonderful! We're new to Fuxin and really need some reliable local connections to help us."

Young Master Zhao also bowed and said, "Thank you, Master!"

Tang Wan spoke calmly, but made no promises. Instead, she said gently, "No need to be so polite. If I could introduce you to a few influential people in Fuxin, I dare not say I could guarantee everything, but at least it would help you avoid some detours when you start out in Fuxin."

She didn't make any grand promises, only saying it was a recommendation, but the Zhao father and son naturally understood the weight of that promise.

Master Zhao hurriedly said, "In that case, I'll have to trouble you, Master! I thank you in advance for your kindness!"

Tang Wan replied calmly, "Whether it succeeds or not, I'll ask first. Once I have news, I'll have Chen Da come and inform your family."

"Of course, of course! Whether it succeeds or not, I, Zhao, will be grateful for your kindness, Master!" Master Zhao nodded repeatedly.

With the business matters concluded, the atmosphere in the hall became increasingly harmonious.

Tang Wan turned her gaze to the Fourth Young Master Zhao beside her and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, the Fourth Young Master's wedding is on the eighth day of the twelfth month. It's a pity that I'll probably be in the capital by then and won't be able to attend in person to have a drink at the wedding."

Young Master Zhao quickly cupped his hands in greeting, his tone sincere yet tinged with regret: "Master, you flatter me. It is already a great favor that you personally chose this auspicious day. Although I will not be able to attend in person, the Bai family and I will always remember your kindness."

In fact, not only was the date set, but Miss Bai and his life were also saved by the master, and the master also helped with their marriage.

I am now valued by my family thanks in no small part to the master.

The master is my benefactor, but unfortunately he is going to the capital, and we are thousands of miles apart. I don't know when I will see him again.

Thinking of this, Young Master Zhao felt a pang of sadness at the thought of parting.

Before he could say anything, his father, Master Zhao, stroked his beard and sighed, "Yes, if it weren't for the master's matchmaking and guidance, how could this boy's marriage have gone so smoothly? It is a great pity that we cannot see the master in person."

Tang Wan said gently, "Master Zhao, Fourth Young Master, you are too kind. Fate is predetermined, and a perfect match is made in heaven. I am merely going with the flow. Although I cannot be here in person, I will certainly send my congratulatory gift as a token of my good wishes. I wish Fourth Young Master and Miss Bai a long and happy marriage."

Zhao Si Gongzi felt a little embarrassed when he heard Tang Wan say that, but he couldn't hide the smile on his face and said, "How could I let the master spend so much money!"

Tang Wan smiled slightly and said in a gentle tone, "Of course, Fourth Young Master, you don't need to be so polite. It's fate that we met. If you and your wife come to the capital in the future, please let me know so that I can show you some hospitality."

Upon hearing Tang Wan's words, Young Master Zhao's smile widened. He felt that the master had not only saved his life and mentored him, but also shown him some favor. He immediately replied, "Then it's settled. When we go to the capital, we will certainly have to trouble the master!"

“Okay! It’s a deal!” Tang Wan replied with a smile.

When they first met, no one could have imagined that they would have so many connections with the Zhao family now.

It was a case of "no fight, no friendship" with this Young Master Zhao. I was too magnanimous to hold a grudge, but I never expected that he would become the calm and reliable person in front of me now.

Hearing their conversation, Master Zhao smiled broadly. He understood the master's meaning; it undoubtedly left room for future interactions. He quickly agreed, "Of course, of course! I will certainly have to trouble the master then!"

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Tang Wan rose to take her leave. The Zhao family father and son personally saw her off at the gate, their attitude even more respectful and warm than before.

After leaving the Zhao residence, Tang Wan closed her eyes to rest in the carriage on the way back.

However, she was thinking about Boss Wan. Boss Wan had a special identity. He was the illegitimate son of the Ning Earl's Mansion in the capital. She had often heard that he went to Fuxin to do business. She must have more connections and influence there than she imagined.

They certainly have a much deeper understanding of that area than the Zhao family, who are newcomers.

With his help, it shouldn't be difficult to introduce the Zhao family to several reliable local forces that can provide protection.

The opening of Zhao's shop is beneficial to his business, and it also allows him to maintain further contact with Boss Wan, ensuring that they won't lose touch once the shop closes.

In this way, the relationships between the two families were maintained.

Of course, if the Tang family were to return to the capital and be reinstated, their status would likely be higher than that of the other two families. However, these two families could earn money for themselves, so who would complain about not having enough money?

Therefore, both the Zhao family and Boss Wan are relationships worth maintaining for her.

Tang Wan did not return to her residence in the prefecture. Instead, she asked Wang Da to take her to the inquiry shop. Although the accounts had been settled for the day, the inquiry shop would certainly not be closed immediately. It would be a good opportunity to discuss the Zhao family's affairs with Boss Wan.

Moreover, Ding Li and I had arranged a time to go and discuss the matter.

The carriage soon arrived at the inquiry shop. Tang Wan got out and instructed Wang Da, "Go back and think about what to do. Going to the capital or staying in Mobei is fine. The house in Mobei is not for sale."

Wang Da had been thinking about this all day. He had spent most of the day running around with his employer, and while waiting for him, he kept thinking about this issue and had some ideas.

So he cautiously said, "Master, I'd like to go back and discuss this with my sister."

Tang Wan nodded slightly and said, "I will come again tomorrow. If you have made up your mind, let me know. If you haven't made up your mind, it's fine to wait another two days."

Upon hearing Tang Wan's words, Wang Da gratefully replied, "Thank you, mistress. I will get back to you as soon as possible."

Tang Wan nodded slightly, told Wang Da to drive back, and went into the inquiry shop alone.

Upon entering, only the young shop assistant was seen cleaning behind the counter with a feather duster; Boss Wan was nowhere to be seen.

Upon seeing that it was Tang Wan, the young shop assistant quickly put down his work, stepped forward, and bowed, saying, "Boss, you've arrived."

"Isn't Boss Wan in the shop?" Tang Wan asked, her gaze sweeping across the shop.

The young clerk replied, "The shopkeeper went out to visit a friend this morning. Before leaving, he told me he might not be back this afternoon and asked me to watch the shop. Is it urgent that you need to see the shopkeeper?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Wan felt a little regretful, but it wasn't entirely unexpected.

After a moment's thought, she felt that it was not serious enough to have the young waiter relay the message, and it would be difficult to explain in just a few words. So she said, "No rush, I'll wait a bit. If Boss Wan doesn't return, I'll come to find him another day."
