"Mr. Cao, I have admired Mr. Cao for a long time and is known as Jiang Ning's most talented man. When I saw him today, he was indeed brave and graceful. I admired Wang. I came uninvited today, but it was disturbing." Wang Ji followed She Yue in and saw

Cao Yi was stunned for a moment because he was so young as he was sitting there, but he recovered immediately and quickly stepped forward to salute.

"Hello, Shopkeeper Wang. Shopkeeper Hua from Caifeng Tower just said the same thing as you, so I will reply with the same words. If you have anything to do, go to the Three Treasures Hall. If you have anything to do, just tell me.

Time is precious, so let’s talk to each other quickly.” Cao Yi returned the salute and then said unhurriedly.

Wang Ji was stunned again and muttered in his heart: "Why is this not according to common sense? It shouldn't be for everyone to greet each other and then slowly bring up the topic. By the way, the old man from Caifenglou also came just now."

Are you here? Could it be that you have the same purpose as me?" Wang Ji suppressed his thoughts and said, "Okay, Mr. Cao is indeed very cheerful. I, Wang Ji, like to deal with such cheerful people as Mr. Cao."

"..." Cao Yi was a little speechless. How could one and the other use the same rhetoric and the same routine? Did these shopkeepers communicate with each other in advance about what to say? Cao Yi couldn't help but feel suspicious.

When Hua Rui saw that Cao Yi didn't answer his words, the scene couldn't help but become a little cold. Then he smiled, knowing that he still had something to talk about, otherwise the things he came to do today would be delayed for who knows how long.

"Mr. Cao, I actually came here to apologize to you today..." Wang Jipei said with a smile.

"Oh, what is Shopkeeper Wang guilty of?" Cao Yi pretended to be surprised, but he was muttering in his heart: "After the Mid-Autumn Festival... Shen Yan said how aggressive I was... I used conspiracy methods to set up gambling games to defraud... Qingfeng Tower, I wish

I surrendered my bet and gave the restaurant to me, and then rebuilt the new Qingfeng Restaurant on the bank of the Qinhuai River, and then formed the Jiangning Restaurant Alliance to boycott my Zuixian Restaurant.'

As expected, Wang Ji gave a bitter smile and said: "Mr. Cao, after the Jinling Poetry Festival, the third son of the Shen family, Shen Yan, called all of us top restaurant owners in Jiangning Prefecture together and said that Mr. Cao, you were everywhere at the Mid-Autumn Poetry Festival.

Targeting him, he then designed a gambling game to defraud their Qingfeng Building. Although the Shen family knew that they were being defrauded, they always kept their word when doing business, so they were willing to admit defeat and gave Qingfeng Building to Mr. Cao.

. Later they said that they would rebuild a new Qingfeng Tower on the bank of the Qinhuai River, and asked us to form a Jiangning Restaurant Alliance with them to resist Mr. Cao. It was because Wang had too much sense of justice that he believed the slander for a while.

I misunderstood Mr. Cao, so I was very angry at the beginning and insisted on joining the alliance meeting. Who knew that Wang later verified that it was not the case, so Wang felt very sorry for Mr. Cao. I feel deeply guilty for wrongly blaming you these days.

I can’t sleep well if I don’t think about it..." Wang Ji said even more exaggeratedly than Hua Yue, and at the end he squeezed his eyes as hard as he could to squeeze out a tear from his eyes.

Cao Yi's eyes twitched when he heard this. Seeing that Wang Ji still had the desire to continue performing, he quickly interrupted his performance, took out the contract drawn up in advance, and handed it to Wang Ji, "Here, take a look."

"What...what is this?" Wang Ji asked in surprise after taking the contract.

"Shopkeeper Wang, you will know after reading it." Cao Yi tapped the contract with his chin, indicating to Shopkeeper Wang to read the contents.

"Impossible! I will not agree to this condition!" Wang Ji angrily slapped the contract on the table, causing the dried fruit bowl on the table to shake. His expression was very angry, as if Cao Yi was forcing him to

Just like doing something extremely difficult to do!

Cao Yi ignored him and just drank tea by himself, looking at Wang Ji silently with an expressionless face and calm eyes.

Wang Ji twitched the corner of his mouth in embarrassment and whispered, "Cao... Mr. Cao, your conditions are too harsh. I forgive you for not being able to agree!"

"Oh, okay, I understand." Cao Yi continued to drink tea, without even looking at it this time.

The air was quiet for a while, and Wang Ji called out again: "Cao... Mr. Cao"

"Huh? Didn't Shopkeeper Wang say you disagree? I think you have the right to express your opinion, so I won't say anything else. Do you have anything else?" Cao Yi looked at Wang Ji in surprise.

Wang Ji showed a smile that was uglier than crying, "Mr. Cao, why don't you say a few words?" He was complaining in his heart, 'How can I be like you? If you don't answer or bargain, how can I continue to act alone?

Ah!' Wang Ji was also very broken inside.

Cao Yi took out another contract, handed it to Wang Ji, and said, "Read it for yourself, and then talk after reading it."

Wang Ji took the contract doubtfully, wondering if this was different from the previous one? Then he looked at it carefully and said, "What? Did Lao Hua sign it!?" Wang Ji raised his head and glanced at Cao Yi.

Cao Yi nodded, "Signed!"

"..."

"Are you signing it?" Cao Yi asked again, taking the contract signed by Hua Yue from Wang Ji's hand and putting it away.

"Sign! I will sign too!" Wang Ji hurriedly agreed, and at the same time asked with a flattering smile: "Master Cao, since Hua Yue has signed it, why didn't you tell me earlier? If you tell me earlier, take it out earlier and I will sign it directly.

!”

"Oh, I saw that you acted so well just now. Oh, no, you acted so angry. I thought you would rather die than obey, haha!" Cao Yi replied with a smile.

"..."

"Okay, this contract will take effect today. You can do it today or tomorrow. Let the chef from Mingyue Tower come over and learn how to cook. As for Taibai Zui and Qinglian Wine, you go downstairs and find the representative from Zuixian Tower.

Shopkeeper Hongxiu, just check with her." Cao Yi took out a copy of the contract signed by both of them and gave it to Wang Ji, ready to see off the guests. Of course, he still warned him about the accounting.

"Okay, Mr. Cao, Mr. Wang will go down to the shopkeeper Hongxiu now. You are busy, so you don't need to give it to me. Don't stand up. Don't be polite. I can just go down by myself!" Wang Ji started to give an exaggerated performance again.

"..." Cao Yi, who had not moved from his seat, was speechless for a while.

"Oh, okay, then go down by yourself, walk slowly, don't send me off..." Cao Yi stood up from his seat, slightly arched his hands, and said lightly.

"... Then I'm really leaving!" Wang Ji said again.

"Yes." Cao Yi responded, turned his back to Wang Ji and continued to look at the autumn scenery of the Qinhuai River outside the window.

After a while, I heard Cao Yi suddenly sigh: "Hey! If God had not given birth to me, Cao Zhaozheng, my acting skills would be like a long night!" I really should write a book "The Self-cultivation of Actors" to give Wang Ji a good look at what is called an Oscar.

Level acting skills!”

"What? Mr. Cao, what book do you want to write for me?" Wang Ji's voice came from behind.

"..."

Cao Yi turned around and looked at Wang Ji, who was still at the door, speechlessly, "Why are you still here?"

"Um, Mr. Cao really doesn't want to see me off?" Wang Ji said in a low voice.

"Send it, send it, I'll send it now!" Cao Yi stood up excitedly and finally sent Wang Ji to Hong Xiu, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and then returned to the private room without looking back.

In the next two days, the top ten restaurant owners in Jiangning City came to visit Cao Yi one after another. They said similar words, just to apologize, and then thought about whether they could teach them cooking techniques, and asked Taibai Zui and

Qinglian wine is sold to them at a low price.

Cao Yi didn't talk nonsense to them and directly placed the signed contract in front of them. It was up to them to sign or not to sign. However, when these shopkeepers saw that so many restaurants in front of them had already signed, they basically followed immediately.

Sign it. If you don't sign it, you will definitely be eliminated immediately and you won't make any money. Now you can still have at least 70% of the profits in your hands, and you may have cooking, Taibai Zui, and Qinglian wine.

With these bonuses, the restaurant's business may be even better than before. It's hard to say that the 70% profit now earned is more than the 100% before. At least half of the people signed the contract with this idea in mind.

Fortunately, there is no one as good as Wang Ji in the back shop. After integrating the top ten restaurants in Jiangning, Zuixianlou can be said to have secured its position as the leader of Jiangning restaurants. Cao Yi can also start to prepare for Taibai with peace of mind.
