Return to the Tang Dynasty to be a villain

Chapter 50 Zhang Yizhi is about to rise to prominence

Just as Qin Yi was describing his vision for the development of Caodianzi Village to Wei Xian in Hua'e Tower, a magnificent carriage stopped outside the gate of Shiseido.

Inside Shiseido, Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong were sitting on either side of a long table with wine and food ordered from Zuixianju on the table. The two brothers had uncontrollable smiles on their faces.

Zhang Changzong picked up the wine jug and filled the wine cup in front of Zhang Yizhi, then picked up his own cup and drank it all. He then wiped the wine from the corner of his mouth and looked at Zhang Yizhi with satisfaction.

"Fifth brother, it is a blessing for us brothers to be able to follow the young master."

"This Zuixianju is the best restaurant in Chang'an. In the past, we couldn't even get in, not to mention being able to eat such delicious food."

Next to Zhang Yizhi was a box filled with strings of copper coins.

Seeing Zhang Changzong's smug look, Zhang Yizhi's smile became even brighter. He grabbed the copper coins in the box and played with them in his hands, nodded slightly and said to Zhang Changzong.

"Liu Lang, we're just getting started. I can tell that the young master of the Qin Mansion is no ordinary man. As long as we follow him, good things are still to come."

"That's right, Fifth Brother is really good at judging people!"

Zhang Changzong poured himself another glass of wine, brought it to his mouth and took a sip. At this moment, his ambition for the future was burning in his heart.

Just as the Zhang brothers were celebrating the wealth they had never seen in their lives and were full of confidence in the future, there was suddenly a sound of a door opening downstairs.

"Fifth brother."

Zhang Changzong suddenly became panicked. There were more than 20,000 strings of cash in the shop. If a bad person broke into it, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Zhang Yizhi's face changed. He stood up and walked into the bedroom, took out a dagger, and handed Zhang Changzong a wooden stick. The two of them held candles and tiptoed downstairs.

However, as soon as they saw the face of the person who came, they were stunned and stood there.

"Your Highness the Princess"

Zhang Yizhi was the first to react. The look of disbelief on his face disappeared immediately and he bowed down quickly.

"I didn't know Her Royal Highness was coming. I apologize for not welcoming you. I beg Your Royal Highness to forgive me."

That’s right, the person standing in front of the Zhang brothers at this moment was Princess Taiping Li Lingyue.

At this moment, Li Lingyue was standing gracefully at the door of Shiseido. She was wrapped tightly in a hooded cloak, with only her beautiful face exposed.

Seeing the surprised expressions of Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong, Li Lingyue smiled.

"Why, the two senior teachers, don't you want to invite me in for a seat?"

Before the Zhang brothers could react, Li Lingyue smiled charmingly again, and walked between them in a flash.

Just as her body passed between Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong, a refreshing fragrance immediately made their mouths dry.

A stick of incense later, three white bodies were entangled together in Zhang Yizhi's bedroom in Shiseido.

It was not until the next day when the sky was bright and Zhang Yizhi opened his eyes with difficulty that Li Lingyue and Zhang Changzong, who were still sleeping soundly beside him, made him realize that last night was not a dream.

Although Zhang Yizhi's movement was slight, it still woke up Li Lingyue from her sleep.

At this moment, her fair face was slightly flushed, and her beautiful eyes were looking around with charm, making her look really pitiful.

Although the person in front of him was so beautiful and charming, Zhang Yizhi only felt deep fear in his heart at this moment.

Although Zhang Yizhi's actions in history books can be described as arrogant and domineering after he came to Wu Zhao's side, he was actually not a confused person.

When he acted flamboyantly, it was mostly because Wu Zetian saw him as a sharp weapon to eliminate dissidents.

It was precisely because he was very clear about his identity and situation that Zhang Yizhi became another vicious dog of the Holy Emperor after Xue Huaiyi, Lai Junchen and others under the tyranny of Wu Zhao.

Therefore, Zhang Yizhi, aware of his low status, was naturally uneasy when he recalled what happened between him and Li Lingyue last night. Li Lingyue's ability to remain safe and sound in such a tragic environment during the Wu Zhou Dynasty was sufficient to prove her agility.

Seeing Zhang Yizhi's evasive gaze, he immediately guessed what he was thinking.

He is a very smart and cautious person.

Li Lingyue had this understanding of Zhang Yizhi in her heart.

As one of the most prominent women of this era, she has seen countless men and has a clear understanding of men.

Many men, after having sex with a woman, immediately regard her as their own exclusive love, and at the same time, they also overestimate their own limitations and think that they have an emotional bond with the woman.

In this situation, many men will become complacent and show their true colors in front of women.

However, even though Zhang Yizhi had physical intimacy with her, he was still able to maintain a cautious attitude, which made Li Lingyue admire him even more.

"Wulang," Li Lingyue showed no sign of shyness. She sat up, picked up the myrtle from the side of the couch and wrapped it around herself, looking at Zhang Yizhi with admiration.

"With your demeanor and intelligence, being a small shopkeeper here is really a waste of your talent."

"I want to recommend a career for you. Are you willing?"

An hour later, Zhang Yizhi, already dressed neatly, appeared outside the gate of the Yishiyuan.

Qin Yi received a message from the doorman and knew that Zhang Yizhi was looking for him, so he hurried out of his official residence.

"Wulang, you came to see me so early in the morning, is there something important?"

Qin Yi saw Zhang Yizhi's panic and thought something had happened at Shiseido.

After all, the business model he designed for Shiseido is a pyramid scheme. Once someone discovers the trick, they will inevitably cause trouble for him.

Zhang Yizhi was already at a loss at this moment.

Li Lingyue called him out of the bedroom in the morning and told Zhang Yizhi that she wanted to recommend him to His Majesty the Holy Emperor, which really made him feel uneasy.

Zhang Yizhi, who was really undecided, could only come to Qin Yi for consultation. After all, among the people he knew, Qin Yi was the one with the highest status and the one who knew the situation in the court best.

Qin Yi was naturally overjoyed after hearing Zhang Yizhi's narration. This was exactly one of the reasons why he recruited him to be the manager of Shiseido.

"Congratulations, Wulang," Qin Yi bowed to Zhang Yizhi with a smile on his face, "Wulang will surely have a bright future."

When Zhang Yizhi heard Qin Yi say this, he immediately understood what he meant.

He is not a hesitant person in normal times, and he also knows that this is his chance to rise to the top, so why would he hesitate?

"Da Lang, that's Shiseido"

Zhang Yizhi had witnessed with his own eyes how profitable Shiseido's business was, although he knew that once he agreed to Princess Taiping's recommendation, wealth and glory would be within his reach.

But after all, he knew nothing about the situation in the court, and it was still unknown what he would get in the future, but Shiseido's huge profits were real.

Seeing that Zhang Yizhi was still hesitant, Qin Yi certainly knew that money could move people's hearts, and he still couldn't bear to give up the profits from Shiseido.

However, this was exactly the result he had been hoping for. If Zhang Yizhi really didn't want to have anything to do with Shiseido anymore, wouldn't Qin Yi's secret plan to form a clique with him for personal gain be in vain?
Qin Yi reached out and patted Zhang Yizhi on the shoulder, smiling slightly.

"Wulang, you don't have to worry about this. After you leave, I will promote Liulang to the manager of Shiseido."

"As for your original shares, you can rest assured and follow the previous rules."

"But Wulang, if you become successful one day, don't forget me, your brother."
