Relying on the system of criticizing people to become a god in farming literature

Chapter 264 Don’t offend the river

"After all, swords have no eyes, and your skin is so delicate. It would be a pity if it was accidentally scratched."

"Are you right?"

Gongsun Yue felt the coldness and couldn't help but shrink her shoulders.

No matter how vigorous and resolute she is on weekdays, she cannot turn a blind eye to matters that are related to her own safety.

In a few breaths, various thoughts flew through my mind.

Gongsun Yue slowed down his breathing and tried to communicate with Cheng Yao in the calmest tone possible.

"I didn't expect that I really underestimated you. Not only are you excellent at cooking, your courage and martial arts are far beyond ordinary people."

"Don't worry, my life is in your hands now, and I won't make any noise to cause trouble for myself."

"Say what you have to say. If you dare to kill me today, I don't think you can get out of this building."

"Even if you escape by luck, you will face endless troubles in the future. I don't think you will do such a loss-making business, right?"

Cheng Yao did not answer immediately, her eyes gently brushed over Gongsun Yue's beautiful face.

There was no extra emotion in those eyes, only cold scrutiny.

Gongsun Yue is very familiar with this look, which looks like a person who is in control with ease, because most of the time, she is this role.

Unexpectedly, once the situation was reversed, she would become the one at a disadvantage.

Cheng Yao did it on purpose. She had long been dissatisfied with Gongsun Yue's condescending attitude.

Negotiations and transactions have always been based on equality between both parties.

From the first second Cheng Yao stood here, Gongsun Yue looked at her with a downward attitude.

On the surface, they are equal and mutually beneficial, trying to use generous conditions to attract Cheng Yao to do things for them.

In fact, she was using coercion and inducement, using her power and foundation in Yuecheng to coerce Cheng Yao to bow to her.

Except for the desperate situation where she cannot escape, Cheng Yao generally doesn't like to put herself in such a situation.

Repeated coercion will not make Cheng Yao give in. On the contrary, it will further inspire Cheng Yao's rebellious spirit.

Cheng Yao never thought of choosing from Gong Sun Yue's proposal from the beginning. She wanted to be the decision-maker, not a doormat without the right to choose.

Cheng Yao didn't speak for a long time, which made Gongsun Yue feel flustered for no reason.

Although her reason told her that Cheng Yao was not such an impulsive person, she could not help but guess the worst outcome in her heart.

It has to be said that Cheng Yao frightened Gongsun Yue.

After a moment, Cheng Yao stopped her wandering gaze and finally fixed it on Gongsun Yue's eyes, looked at him and spoke slowly.

"You're right, I really don't like to cause trouble for myself."

"But one thing I want to make clear to you is that your people are not a threat to me."

"As long as I think about it, even if you mobilize the entire Moon City to look for me, you won't be able to find any trace of me."

"I won't kill you because I can't and don't like killing. I prefer that we can reach a consensus rather than a situation where both parties lose."

After learning that Cheng Yao would not harm herself, Gongsun Yue's anxious heart finally calmed down a little.

"What consensus was reached?"

Gongsun Yue was a little confused about what Cheng Yao said, and couldn't help asking, hoping that the other party could explain it clearly to him.

"What we mean by reaching a consensus is that we will not interfere with each other in the future."

"No matter what I did or what actions Fuchun Restaurant took, I hope the eldest lady will not intervene."

"When you open a business, you need to be able to withstand the inspection and selection of customers. If you have to compare, you should put more effort into the dishes and marketing." "The eldest lady is arrogant. I think she disdains to use anything that is not on the table. A small trick, right?"

Hearing this, Gongsun Yue smiled reluctantly.

What Cheng Yao said is not right at all. The reason why Gongsun Yue has been able to control these profitable stores for so many years is because of small tricks that are not on the table.

She couldn't do many things on the table. Her father and brother had too many spies, and they didn't want to see Gongsun Yue become stronger.

In order to avoid their spies and speed up the accumulation of wealth, Gongsun Yue used countless underhanded methods.

But now, Cheng Yao is holding a dagger against her fragile neck, asking questions like this with a smile, obviously to force her to agree.

As for whether it was true or false, Cheng Yao didn't care at all.

Gongsun Yue had no choice but to bite the bullet and speak.

"Of course, you are right."

"If this is your request, I can grant it to you."

"From now on, no matter what you do, I will no longer interfere. There is just one thing I want to make clear to you first."

"I can give you a few points of profit, but people die for money, and birds die for food. If you go too far and cause a serious decline in the profits of my Jufu Tower, then don't blame me for using all my strength to fight with you!"

"I can reach a delicate balance with you. To put it bluntly, isn't it just that the water in the well does not offend the river? It is not difficult."

Gongsun Yue originally wanted to say something more to get Cheng Yao to remove the dagger.

Unexpectedly, before she could test it, Cheng Yao took the dagger back into her arms.

In the blink of an eye, Cheng Yao sat back across the table, acting as if nothing had happened.

The words that had not yet been spoken turned into a breath and stuck in Gongsun Yue's heart.

"you--"

Gongsun Yue stroked her chest in shock and pointed at Cheng Yao without saying anything for a long time.

At this moment, Gongsun Yue was no different from a cat with fried fur in Cheng Yao's eyes. Cheng Yao raised her teacup to signal in the air.

The already cool tea was a little bitter and not very delicious, but Cheng Yao was thirsty and didn't pay much attention to it.

After drinking a cup of tea, Cheng Yao placed the tea cup on the table.

"I know everything you said. Keep a line in your behavior so that we can meet each other easily in the future."

"Don't worry, you can tolerate me for a month at most. Once Fuchun Restaurant is on track, I will get up and leave Yuecheng."

"What it will do in the future is beyond my control."

"Everything I did was just to give Fu Linglingbo a chance and give her a good start. She will have to walk the rest of the road on her own."

"Since the eldest lady has agreed, I am here to wish us a happy relationship."

Cheng Yao picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for each of them.

Then he pushed the cup of tea that belonged to Gongsun Yue over, motioning for the other party to pick it up and clink glasses with him.

"This is tea, not wine..."

Although Gongsun Yue was complaining, he raised the teacup in cooperation and touched Cheng Yao's cup lightly.

Seeing the arrogant look of the other party, Cheng Yao had an expected expression and was not impatient at all.
