After the divorce, King Zhan cried and begged me to remarry

Chapter 528 New Business Opportunities
However, no matter what Lin Fuying did, at least on the surface, she would definitely not support it.

She wanted to become the Regent Princess, so naturally she couldn't let Ye Jiuxiao find out that she was a cruel and vicious woman.

There are things she can do, but she doesn't want to be criticized.

Chu Nanli came out today not only to meet Lin Xuaner, but also to accept Zhuang Lin's invitation.

What she didn't expect was that as soon as Zhuang Lin sat down, he brought her a completely unexpected news.

"Ahem, what did you say?"

Chu Nanli looked over with surprise. If it weren't for her extraordinary concentration, she would have almost lost her grip on the teacup.

"Didn't that guy tell you? In half a month, the envoys from the State of Chu will arrive in Beijing."

Zhuang Lin did not notice the subtle discomfort on her face and quickly told her the purpose of today's invitation.

"I came to you to discuss something and see if you have any good ideas to make some money from the Chu people."

The State of Chu was wealthy, and the envoys from the State of Chu must have carried a lot of silver with them.

Furthermore, it would be even better if they could promote trade between the two countries by going back and spreading the word.

Chu Nanli looked away a little uncomfortably, "I, I don't know much about the State of Chu, so I'm afraid I can't help much."

Why did the people from Chu come so suddenly?

Will her family members be among them?

Thinking of the various behaviors of his family members in his memory, Chu Nanli couldn't help but feel a headache.

"Why do you have to belittle yourself? During this period of time, others may not know, but how could I not know? I have never seen anyone who can make money better than you."

Zhuang Lin thought for a moment, and thinking of some rumors from the outside world, he couldn't help but speak to comfort her.

"Don't worry. Although that guy and I are good friends, if he does something to annoy you, I will definitely stand by you."

He is really qualified to be a friend.

Chu Nanli couldn't help but complain in his heart, and continued: "What on earth is going on with the Chu envoys you mentioned? Why would someone from Chu come out of nowhere?"

It can't be because of the message she sent back to her family, right?

She clearly said that she was safe now and would return to Chu to reunite with her family once things here were settled.

Could it be that the original owner's family was too worried, so a group of envoys came?

"I'm not sure about that," Zhuang Lin shook his head. His power was not strong enough to penetrate into the State of Chu. "But, at present, the imperial court and the State of Chu are still maintaining a superficial peace, so it's not surprising that an envoy group is visiting."

"Then have you ever heard that among the envoys, is there anyone related to the goddess of Chu?"

Chu Nanli hesitated for a long time, but finally asked the question she wanted to know most.

She trusted Zhuang Lin and had not revealed anything before, so when she suddenly asked such a question, Zhuang Lin thought she was just too curious.

I didn't think about anywhere else.

"I don't think so. The goddess's family members all hold high positions in Chu. Why would they leave Chu with the envoys for no reason?"

Zhuang Lin was a little confused, "Why are you suddenly interested in these?"

"Of course, the goddess is so famous and mysterious, everyone would be curious about this, right?"

Lin Xuaner's words helped Chu Nanli out of the predicament a little.

She couldn't reveal her true identity, so naturally she couldn't explain why she cared so much about the people from the State of Chu.

"I heard that the goddess has been performing miracles since she was born. She was able to bless the State of Chu with good weather and good harvests when she was just a few years old. It's really amazing." During this period of time, Lin Xuan'er has heard a lot of rumors about the goddess of the State of Chu.

She had never had the time to talk to Chu Nanli about it, so when the topic was brought up, she naturally started talking nonstop.

Seeing that she was about to describe the goddess as a being with three heads and six arms, Chu Nanli quickly stopped her.

"Okay, weren't we just talking about making money?"

As soon as she mentioned this, Lin Xuan'er and Zhuang Lin immediately became interested.

The two of them were just a little curious about the goddess of Chu, but they really cared about making money.

"I think they must have seen a lot of ordinary valuable things, but they may not be interested in them."

"Why not find something unique so that we can bring forth something new and innovative."

Zhuang Lin was indeed a businessman with many years of experience. As soon as Chu Nanli mentioned the beginning, he already had an idea.

"It's too late to look for new things now. We can only think of ways with what we already have."

Before he could come up with a suitable idea, Lin Xuan'er had already gotten there first.

"What about hot pot? Not many people in Chu have eaten this, right?"

Lin Xuan'er couldn't help drooling when she thought of the stimulating taste.

As far as she knew, many people avoided the thing before trying it.

Just try it once and you'll never forget the excitement.

Zhuang Lin frowned. "It's fine to eat that thing in the shop, but I can't take it back home, right?"

In this way, even if those people from Chu State miss it so much, they have no way to take the hot pot restaurant back.

"No, there is another way," Chu Nanli's eyes lit up, "We can choose to sell the base material."

I have to say that Lin Xuaner's progress during this period is really beyond imagination.

At least before she opened her mouth, Chu Nanli had never thought about starting from this aspect.

"But if that's the case, wouldn't it be like leaking the bottom of the pot?"

Zhuang Lin was a seasoned businessman after all, and he quickly realized what was wrong with this.

"If someone buys it and figures out the seasonings inside, then wouldn't the recipe be known to others?"

The hotpot restaurant opened by Chu Nanli was doing such a booming business that Zhuang Lin naturally paid attention to it.

Just from what he knew, there were several groups of people who were trying openly or secretly to figure out how this hot pot was made.

But those guys were extremely tight-lipped, and no matter what they tried, they couldn't get what they wanted.

They were jealous of the hotpot restaurant making a lot of money and never gave up.

If those people knew about this, they might have other ideas.

"I thought about this when I first opened the shop. Since I'm selling the base ingredients, it's not difficult to prevent others from figuring out the formula through the base ingredients."

Since Chu Nanli proposed this method, there must be a way to prevent it.

"You just need to grind all the spices you need into powder and add them in according to the proportions. Even if others want to study the formula, they will have to spend a lot of time and effort, and they may end up losing everything."

"Besides, as long as we can continue to introduce new flavors, others will not be able to imitate us even if they want to."
