Chapter 243 Extra Chapter 3: She Transmigrated into a Book but Didn't Cure the Illness (2)

In the end, of course, they didn't make it.

We've spent so much money to pave the way, and the business is already up and running. If we leave now, not only will all our initial investment go down the drain.

She took so much money from someone; if she really absconds with the money, being caught by him would be the end of her life.

But she was still somewhat angered by the man's words.

No matter the reason, she will never forgive him, even if he's handsome!
Because she was holding a grudge, Qin Su simply poured all her energy into her business.

While urging the workers to finish the products quickly, they patiently waited for news from the young master Bai at the restaurant.

Finally, three days later, the opportunity for formal negotiations arrived.

"Your Majesty, please."

Qin Su got off the carriage, straightened her wrinkle-free dress, and then walked into the restaurant with the temporary maid she had hired.

Having escaped from the Prime Minister's residence, she had no intention of returning.

The Prime Minister's mansion was indeed a powerful symbol, and coupled with her willingness to spend money, she immediately put on airs upon arrival. Therefore, those who did not know her background would show her even more respect upon their first meeting.

The person Qin Su was negotiating business with was Manager Zhao of Fuyunlou.

The young master, Mr. Bai, was seriously injured by the villains and was said to have been disfigured. He was recuperating at home and unable to go out, so he handed the matter over to the restaurant manager.

When Manager Zhao heard that the young master wanted to order some "high-end souvenirs," he was somewhat dismissive.

He had heard of this Miss Su from the capital:
She is beautiful, rich, has a mysterious background, and understands people very well. Everyone who has come into contact with her praises her highly.

But coming from a young man of marriageable age, the credibility of these words is probably halved.

It's acceptable to spend money to woo a woman, but it's problematic to use your own business to do so.

However, when the items are actually placed in front of them, their exquisite, small, and extravagant appearance is indeed what those wealthy ladies and heiresses would like.

Manager Zhao found it somewhat novel, but that was about it.

It wasn't until Miss Su across from him spoke up: "I suggested to Young Master Bai that customers who spend over one hundred taels of silver receive a high-end souvenir, in order to stimulate diners' competitive spirit."

Manager Zhao subconsciously looked up.

Qin Su smiled and said, "Customers who can afford to spend a hundred taels to come to the restaurant are basically either rich or noble. They have eaten all kinds of delicacies. If you want to keep them, what is more important than the food is the class, the reputation, and those symbols that can show their noble status."

She paused for a moment, then asked, "Does the shopkeeper think I'm right?"

Manager Zhao nodded subconsciously. It wasn't just right; it was exactly what he was thinking.

Seeing that the other party agreed, Qin Su's smile deepened. As long as they listened, that was good: "What to give as a gift to customers who pay over a hundred taels? Shopkeeper, you can think of something else. As for these..."

She pushed him towards her: "It's aimed at low- to mid-range customers who spend more than 20 taels."

Simply put, selling ideas is the key, and contracting souvenirs is just a side thing.

After all, you need to agree with your idea first before the other party will be willing to take over your "goods".

The shopkeeper quickly realized what was happening. For some reason, his heart was beating faster, and a strange palpitation made his breathing a little rapid. He had a feeling that after today, his restaurant might really become the number one restaurant in the county!
“Miss Su, there are some things I don’t quite understand. Please enlighten me.” Unconsciously, Butler Zhao put away his contemptuous attitude and became very humble.

Qin Su smiled and said, "Oh dear, I just love associating with business people. As long as there's something in it for everyone, we're all easy to talk to."

Even the darkest heart will still greet you with a smile.

Unlike some people, I want to kill him the moment he opens his mouth!
Qin Su's expression remained unchanged: "I wouldn't dare to offer advice. Manager Zhao has such extensive experience managing such a large restaurant; it is we who should be learning from you..."
-
A collaboration worth hundreds of taels a year is neither a huge nor a small deal for Fuyunlou, but it's something that Manager Zhao can decide.

After talking with Qin Su, he immediately ordered someone to prepare the contract. After both parties signed it, it was just waiting to be sent to the government office for notarization and stamping before the contract would be fully effective.

At the same time, Qin Su also received a deposit of 150 taels of silver, and would pay the final payment when the first batch of goods arrived.

As for why it's 150 taels?

Qin Su smiled: Do you think my ideas are free?
After the business was over, the atmosphere relaxed, and Steward Zhao now saw Qin Su as perfect in every way.

If he was initially worried that his young master would be seduced by a vixen, now he's all saying, "This golden bowl is rightfully mine for my young master to take home!" His attitude is incredibly good, and he even personally saw Qin Su off when she left.
-
After Manager Zhao left, Qin Su looked at the bracelet on her wrist and couldn't help but say, "I didn't expect you to be so useful."

The shopkeeper had clearly tried to test her identity, but she said nothing. She simply "accidentally" revealed the bracelet on her wrist when she picked up her teacup to drink. He immediately fell silent and became much more respectful. She knew it was its effect.

The bracelet wasn't given to her by anyone else; it was a gift from the original male lead. Before she escaped, she was afraid she would really end up begging, so she made a tough decision and put it on.

I never expected it would actually come in handy.

Qin Su smiled with satisfaction and was about to get into the carriage when suddenly a cold sneer came from behind her: "Just a broken bracelet."

She paused, then turned to see an unexpected face—

"How did you come?"

Looking at the handsome, otherworldly face before her, she was surprised.

Since that unpleasant parting, she hired a layabout to take care of the man, and she never went to his house again.

Seeing it now, I have a dreamlike feeling.

Chu Jiang didn't answer her, his gaze sweeping over her snow-white wrist: "What are you doing here?"

Qin Su had just closed a deal and was in a good mood, so much so that she didn't feel as much hatred towards this guy who spoke so rudely.

She waved the contract in her hand at him: "Let's talk business."

Chu Jiang frowned: "You, a woman, come to discuss business?"

Qin Su's smile vanished instantly. She rolled her eyes at him and turned to leave.

She had only taken two steps when someone suddenly grabbed her arm, forcing her to stop. Before she could even ask a question, she heard the man coldly say, "I haven't eaten yet."

She stared at him, and for a moment she forgot what she was going to say.

No, how can this person be so shameless as to say he hasn't eaten?
Has he forgotten what he said about her before?

"you……"

Just as Qin Su was about to imitate him and spit out poison, she saw something beyond the man's arm. Her expression changed, and she suddenly threw herself into his arms—or rather, pulled up the man's collar and hid herself inside.

The sudden proximity of her soft body made Chu Jiang tense instantly. He instinctively wanted to throw her away, but she stopped him first with a sweet yet fierce shout:

"Don't move, or I won't pay you back!"

The next moment, she moved even closer, and through the thin clothes, she could almost feel her soft, warm body temperature.

Unbeknownst to Qin Su, the man's entire body was tense, his muscles bulging as if they were about to burst.

"I didn't ask you to pay it back."

Qin Su didn't hear what the man said.

Just then, a figure hurried past, and even as he ran away, you could still hear him muttering, "Strange, I clearly saw Miss Sangsang..."

"have they gone?"

When the girl finally pulled away from his embrace, Chu Jiang's previously reddened ear tips had returned to normal, and his face even looked somewhat gloomy: "Were you hiding from someone?"

Qin Su looked up at him: "Isn't it obvious enough?"

"who……"

"Is your injury healed?"

Both men spoke at the same time.

Chu Jiang: "What do you want to do?"

Qin Su looked at the departing figure of the man and said in a sinister tone, "If you're better, then your first task as a guard has arrived."

Chu Jiang didn't speak, his eyes lowered as he stared at the hand she had grabbed, the hand he had forgotten to let go of...

In this side story, Su Su is a wealthy heiress with both parents, not a psychologist. So her personality is a bit different from the main story; she's more cheerful and lively, with a bit of a spoiled princess attitude.
