Chapter 150 Won’t give up
It is said that Liu Yingyue is a silly beauty, but how can she talk business?
Liu Yingyue said, "I need cotton and fabric for a thousand sets of clothes. Does Uncle Gao have a source of supplies?"

Gao Yucheng's uncle, Qian Yuanwai, suffered losses in his fur business shortly after Gao Yucheng got married.

He was tricked into doing the silk business, but unexpectedly he rented a broken boat. A storm capsized the boat, and hundreds of pieces of fine Shu brocade fell into the water. No one wanted to buy them even after they were dried and sold at a low price.

Uncle Gao Yucheng was reluctant to sell it as coarse cloth.

Looking at Qian Gao's surprised and unexpected expression, it was obvious that the family was losing money and hoped someone would come and do business to make up for the losses.

"It's not proper to talk while standing outside. Madam Ying, please come in and talk." Qian Gao's smile deepened and she nodded to Liu Yingyue.

He also changed from calling her by her name to the polite "Madam Ying".

"Okay." Liu Yingyue put down the torch, patted her sleeves, and followed him into the house.

Gao Yucheng touched the back of his head, not understanding what Liu Yingyue was going to do.

He also put down the torch and followed him into the house.

Gao Yucheng was obviously a regular customer. He found a chair and sat down, then drank some tea.

Qian Gaoshi then ordered the people around her to invite Mr. Qian to come and discuss the matter.

Not long after, a short, fat middle-aged man in his forties slowly walked into the room.

Gao Yucheng stood up quickly, "Uncle."

Mr. Qian just glanced at him indifferently without saying anything. He then looked at Liu Yingyue and found that the person who came to discuss business was a young lady. He frowned and was a little disappointed.

"The guest that madam is talking about is this young lady?" Mr. Qian pointed at Liu Yingyue.

"She is Madam Liuying, the wife of Qin Dalang from Qin's manor." Qian Gao said, "She wants to ask our family for one thousand sets of cotton-padded clothes and cotton."

Mr. Qian opened his eyes wide and sat down on the main seat. "Madam, do you want men's clothes or women's clothes?"

"It's men's clothing, the kind that country folk wear, just ordinary ones will do." Liu Yingyue said, "I need it urgently, Mr. Qian, please name a price. If the price is right, I might place another order."

Mr. Qian pinched the tip of his beard, thought for a moment, and said, "If we order one thousand sets, the cotton and cloth will cost three hundred coins."

Liu Yingyue raised her eyebrows, "Mr. Qian, can the price be lower? I will most likely place another order. Someone in my family is doing business in another place and has hired a lot of people to do the work. We need some cotton clothes as a winter solstice gift. If the price is good, we will sign the contract now."

Qian Gao's eyes flashed with surprise, and she pulled on Qian Yuanwai's sleeve, "Master?"

Mr. Qian was also tempted. The first batch of business was for one thousand sets. If he could place additional orders, he would be able to make a small profit this year.

He sighed slightly, "Madam Ying, this is a cotton coat, not a summer shirt. We don't have cotton in the south, so we have to ship it all from the north. The price is not cheap. A single cotton coat costs five hundred coins each. You want one thousand sets, and I'm only offering you three hundred, which is very cheap."

"What if I increase the second batch of orders to 10,000 sets? How much discount will Mr. Qian offer?" Liu Yingyue said again.

Qian Gao said anxiously, "Master, they are all acquaintances, how about..."

Mr. Qian glared at her, coughed lightly and said, "How about this, Madam Ying, how about two hundred and ninety-five coins?"

"Two hundred and ninety wen, I'll pay a deposit of fifty taels first." Liu Yingyue took out a fifty tael silver note from her purse and put it on the table. With a deposit, this sincerity was not insufficient.

Mr. Qian's eyes lit up, and he patted his thigh and said, "Okay, I didn't expect that Madam Ying is so straightforward at such a young age. Then I'll take 290 coins per set."

"I will pay the remaining amount once the goods arrive. Please deliver the goods to Qinjiazhuang as soon as possible, Mr. Qian." Liu Yingyue said.

"Okay, okay." Mr. Qian nodded.

At that moment, Mr. Qian wrote the contract and signed his name with his fingerprints.

When Liu Yingyue was about to put her fingerprint on the signature, she stopped.

She turned around and glanced at Gao Yucheng who was sitting at the end, and raised the corners of her lips slightly, "By the way, Mr. Qian, I remembered something, and I would like to ask Mr. Qian for a small favor."

Mr. Qian had just received a new business, and was very happy. He nodded and said, "Madam Ying, please go on."

"Actually, I followed Young Master Gao here to look for my sister. Unexpectedly, Young Master Gao called out to Madam Qian, 'Catch me!' Fortunately, Madam Qian ignored it. After recognizing Madam Qian, I thought my family needed some cotton-padded clothes, so I asked Madam Qian to invite Mr. Qian to come. Now that we have settled the business, I would like to ask Mr. Qian about my sister's matter and ask him where he hid my sister."

Liu Yingyue said this, put down her pen, and tapped the banknotes on the table with her fingers.

The deal has been negotiated and the deposit has been paid, but if the signature is not signed, the deal is in vain.

Mr. Qian was a businessman, and he immediately realized that Liu Yingyue was trying to trick him.

If I don’t find Liu Yingyue’s sister today, this business will have to be abandoned.

Gao Yucheng has been coming to borrow money frequently recently, and would not leave unless he is asked to lend money. Mr. Qian has always disliked this nephew.

So even when Gao Yucheng greeted him just now, he was too lazy to respond.

At this moment, his face was even colder, and he asked directly, "Yucheng, where did you hide Lady Ying's sister?"

Even if the deal fails, Liu Yingyue will make a fuss and say that Gao Yucheng and his Qian family have hidden Liu Yingyue's sister, and the Qin family and Liu Lizheng will not give up.

He was not afraid of Liu Lizheng, but he did not want to offend the new owner Qin Yiran.

That lame guy actually had the ability to rob Gao family's farm and land. He must be quite capable, so it would be better for him to avoid making enemies.

He didn't even have time to hide, and Gao Yucheng actually brought the disaster to him?
If there hadn't been outsiders present, he would have kicked him right up.

Gao Yucheng was so frightened that he said hurriedly, "I don't know either."

"You don't know? Gao Yucheng, what are you playing at? I asked you where my sister was, and you led me here. At the gate of Gao's manor, I repeatedly asked you if my sister was in the manor. You said yes, so I followed you in. Why do you say you don't know now? Gao Yucheng, if you don't tell the truth, let's meet in the yamen!" Liu Yingyue narrowed her eyes, slapped the table and stood up.

"Yucheng, tell me quickly, where did you hide Lady Ying's sister?" Gao Yucheng's aunt also became anxious.

Gao Yucheng panicked. He never expected that his uncle would not help him, and even his aunt would stand on Liu Yingyue's side.

"I, I, I, I really didn't see it, I, I, I..." Gao Yucheng was so anxious that he scratched his head and told everything that happened just now. "I also thought she was in the land temple, but after I went in, she was gone. I don't know where Liu Huaiyue went. Did she run away or was she taken away by someone? Anyway, I don't know, so don't ask me."

Liu Yingyue sneered, "Gao Yucheng, if you hadn't tied up my sister, she wouldn't have disappeared! So, this matter, after all, is all caused by you! If anything happens to my sister, I will not let it go!"
