Interstellar boss dressed as a peasant girl and became rich

Chapter 238: Qingjiang Prefecture City
Han Yili swallowed several sips of tea before replying with a gloomy "yes".

However, despite his efforts to swallow his saliva, the fish bone in his throat was still stuck there, without any change. At this moment, his eyes were blurred with tears, and he said pitifully: "The fish bone is still there..."

Moreover, Han Yili felt that the pain in the place where the fishbone was stuck was becoming more and more unbearable as the vibration occurred when she spoke.

Gu Yu asked Han Yili to open her mouth. After taking a closer look, he felt both angry and amused - she was such a grown-up, but she could still get a fish bone stuck in her mouth even when eating fish.

However, considering that the fishbone in Han Yili's throat had not been removed yet, Gu Yu suppressed his smile, concentrated his mental strength, and carefully pulled the fishbone out of Han Yili's throat.

At this moment, Han Yili finally felt the long-lost relaxation and comfort.

He took a few sips of the teapot on the table, made sure the fish bone was gone, and said to Gu Yu, "You're talking nonsense."

Gu Yu touched his nose and said with a guilty conscience: "I really didn't expect you to get stuck by a fish bone! This is totally beyond my expectation."

Han Yili: "..."

How did I get a fish bone stuck in my throat? It's all because I listened to your baseless nonsense.

Seeing the guilty look on Gu Yu's face, he couldn't bear it and said, "Okay, I'm fine now, let's continue eating!"

This time, Gu Yu didn't dare to chat with Han Yili while eating, for fear of causing trouble again.

When the two finished their meal and were about to leave the private room, the robot completed its investigation of the owner of the grilled fish shop and returned to report: "Master, I have found out that this grilled fish shop is owned by the Hong family in Qingjiang Prefecture."

"Home?" Gu Yu muttered to himself while stroking the teacup in his hand.

"Yes, Master. The Hong family is one of the five great families in Qingjiang Prefecture, and they are quite powerful."

As the robot continued to tell the story, Gu Yu gradually learned that the owner of this grilled fish shop was named Hong Yue.

It is said that Hongyue had been to Linfeng County a few months ago and had a meal at a local grilled fish shop.

In addition, Hongyue himself loves food very much and is keen on studying various foods.

After tasting grilled fish in Linfeng County, she immediately started researching the ingredients for grilled fish when she returned home. When decorating the store, she suddenly had an inspiration and decorated the store to be quite similar to her home store.

Gu Yu tapped the tabletop with his fingers and said, "The Hong family is one of the five largest families in Qingjiang City, and they made their fortune by running gourmet food."

"My Lord, according to the information we have found so far, the Hong family is indeed a family that started out in the food business. In Qingjiang City, they control about 70% of the food stores."

"In addition, there is one more thing worth noting. The head of the Hong family is planning to expand their grilled fish business to other prefectures." The robot finally added a piece of news obtained from the Hong family.

Hearing this, Gu Yu's eyes became a little sharp, and a hint of coldness appeared at the corners of his mouth. He said, "I don't care how the grilled fish tastes, but they want to decorate their store exactly like mine and use my achievements to seek profits. Do they really think I'm a dead person?"

There was an undisguised anger in Gu Yu's voice.

Han Yili wondered in her heart whether her behavior of taking things without asking was appropriate. When she heard Gu Yu say the last two words, she felt a sudden pain in her heart and couldn't help but shout out "Ayu".

Gu Yu reached out and gently patted Han Yili's hand, comforting her, "I'm fine." Then he continued to say to the robot, "You go find Qiu Shi and ask him to convey to Hongyue. If Hongyue insists on having her own way and continues to use the designs in my store, then in the future..." If they don't change the decoration style of the store, all the decorations in this grilled fish shop will not be used.

Qiu Shi holds a very important position in the Gu family. He is the chief steward of the Gu family. Gu Yu would not feel uneasy if he were to handle the matter.

The robot responded, "Yes, I will go find Manager Qiu right away."

However, Han Yili called out to the robot and suggested, "Let Han Jing and Qiu Shi go together."

It’s not that he doubted Qiu Shi’s ability to do things, but Han Yili knew very well that in today’s world, only with power can one get things done better.

The Hong family dared to openly decorate their shop to be exactly the same as others, probably because they thought Gu Yu was just an ordinary farm girl, who had no ability to come to Qingjiang Prefecture, let alone discover what they were doing.

Even if Gu Yu knew about the Hong family's behavior, what could he do to them? After all, no matter when and where, if you have power and influence, there are many ways to make someone obedient.

It would have been fine if he didn't understand it before, but after witnessing it with his own eyes today, did the Hong family really think that Han Yili was easy to bully?
It would have been bad enough if he had just stolen the fruits of his wife's labor to make money in a provincial capital, but he actually attempted to continue expanding the size of his store to make more profits.

Really, Han Yili is a vegetarian.

I came out here in a happy mood, but because of this incident, my mood is ruined.

Gu Yu lowered his eyes, took a sip of tea, and asked Han Yili: "Should we go back now, or go somewhere else?"

After more than half a month of boat travel and a long stroll in the market, Han Yili felt a little tired. "I'm a little tired today. Let's go back and rest first. I'll take my parents to Guanhua Island for a visit tomorrow."

Guanhua Island is a small island with a Taoist temple built on it and various fruit trees planted around it.

Although there are no flowers to admire at this time of year, there are still other fruits to eat on the island.

The next day, the sun was shining brightly and the sky was clear. Gu Yu led the whole family, riding in two spacious and comfortable carriages, and arrived at the entrance of Guanhua Island.

The first thing that catches your eye is the lush vegetation, which seems to have covered the entire island with a layer of green; and surrounding it is the clear blue sea, sparkling and beautiful.

The boatman who had been waiting on the shore saw the group and immediately trotted over to greet them. He said to Gu Yu respectfully, "Manager Fang, the boat you need is over here. Please follow me."

Guanhua Island is a small island. To get to the island, you must go through a waterway.

Since the large ship that Gu Yu and his crew were riding on could not enter the city, they could only rent a passenger ship on the shore as a means of transportation.

There was someone at home, so there was no need for Gu Yu to keep an eye on everything. Last night, they decided to visit Guanhua Island today, and Fang Tang and the others had already prepared all the equipment for the trip.

Gu Yu saw that the boatman was an old man in his fifties, who looked energetic and had bright eyes.

Gu Yu turned to his family and said, "Mom and Dad, let's get on the boat first!"

"Okay, let's get on the boat early and reach the island earlier." Gu Wu responded, and walked towards the boat with Gu Pan and others in big strides.

After boarding the boat, Gu Yu looked around and saw lush fruit forests.
