Chapter 64 Proud Women

After a slight meal, Gao Zhan rushed to the topic and said, "Grandma Bai, am I not the village chief of Baijia Village now? I have always wanted to do something for Baijia Village and improve the economic situation of Baijia Village. So I think, try to promote several new daughter-in-law teas from Baijia Village in Changzhou."

"Okay... this is a good thing! The villagers will be very happy to know." Listening to Gao Zhan's words, Grandma Bai couldn't help but be overjoyed. Gao Zhan is her son-in-law, and Gao Zhan's son-in-law is even more useful than his son. Now that he lives in a villa, his life is infinitely beautiful. Such a son-in-law can't be found with a lantern, and the old sisters in the village are envious.

Now Gao Zhan is promising and knows how to work for the village. She, a grandmother, is also proud of her face. Of course, such a good thing must be supported.

While thinking, Gao Zhan continued: "Just now, I called Brother Mingzhe and asked him to find any records of the tribute tea in our Baijia Village in the local chronicles. I heard from my elder brother that there is still an imperial edict issued by the emperor in our family?"

Hearing Gao Zhan's words, Grandma Bai nodded quickly and said, "Yes, there are indeed many, not only the imperial edict, but also the imperial tea sets. The last time I praised my wife for tea was given by Master Qianlong."

Speaking of this, Grandma Bai seemed to remember something and continued: "By the way, Gao Zhan, if you have time recently, take time to come back. Those things were originally planned to be delivered as dowry when you and Bai Lu got married, but now you are going to do something for the village, so I will give it to you directly."

"Ah!" Gao Zhan screamed when he heard Grandma Bai's words and said hurriedly: "Grandma Bai, you misunderstood. I didn't want it. It's just that if there is an imperial edict, it is more credible and easier to do. I will give it back to you after using it. I don't need these."

"Silly child..." Hearing Gao Zhan's words, Grandma Bai smiled and said, "You are Bai Lu's husband. These things are yours sooner or later. I won't give them to you. Could it be that I will bring them into the coffin? It's just a matter of day or later. Since you can use them now, I'll give them to you, it's nothing."

After thinking for a while, Grandma Bai said, "I remember that there seemed to be seventeen imperial edicts, nine from the Ming Dynasty, eight from the Qing Dynasty, and fifteen or sixteen calligraphy and paintings granted by the imperial court, but a few of them have been damaged due to poor storage. There should be eleven of them intact. Apart from that, there are only a few sets of imperial tea sets, and nothing else."

"Damn..." Gao Zhan was so dizzy when he heard Grandma Bai's words that he could hold a small exhibition. It is worthy of being the Bai Family Tribute Tea. Once these treasures are played out, it will be seen who can question it!

However, with such a big situation, it seems a bit vulgar and sold in such a dilapidated store. No matter how good the tea is, it is unbelievable to sell it there. It seems... this Baijia tribute tea must be suppressed.

After chatting for a while, Gao Zhan hung up the phone after he promised to take Bai Lu home after the holiday. As Li Mingzhe said, if you really want to make a big deal, you really have to rely on Grandma Bai. However, it’s just starting out now and it’s not suitable to make a big deal. It’s better to use the tribute tea and the five new daughter-in-law teas in Baijia Village to explore the market.

After returning home, Gao Zhan habitually opened the door, but found that the room was quiet and there was no sound at all. He was used to the lively scenes and atmosphere, and suddenly felt such a quiet atmosphere. Gao Zhan was really not used to it.

After walking around the stairs, there was no one at all. In desperation, Gao Zhan had to sit alone on the sofa and stared at the roof in a daze. It was so good that people were so lively that they would not feel lonely. Even if he was alone upstairs, he was never lonely in his heart.

Although I really want to know the situation in the store, there is no way. The rules there are that Gao Zhan is willing to go against the public and set them up personally. All the men with the handles cannot enter, including Gao Zhan. Is this considered to be self-inflicted?

After a while, Gao Zhan took out a phone call and called Sun Peng. Some things are useless to just give in. Last time, Bai Lu suffered such a big loss because of Geng Le, but Gao Zhan did not make things difficult for Geng Le. After all, that incident actually had nothing to do with him, so it was not easy to take his anger on him.

Although Gao Zhan can be completely sensible with the relationship between the Li family, Gao Zhan is not willing to do that. If he really does that, he will look down on himself without others. Similarly, the Li family will also despise him very much. Whether it is a person or a person, he will be responsible for everything. He will have a strong grudge and a master of debt. He cannot be implicated randomly.

But this time, Geng Le did too much and wanted to attack his company. This is something that Gao Zhan would never tolerate. If this problem is used to come out, how can the business be done in the future? How can the safety of the girls in the store be guaranteed? If everyone comes to bully him, it would be better to close the door early. If you don’t have the ability to solve problems, the business will definitely not last long.

Of course, if it was just a personal grudge, Gao Zhanhui would just warn the other party and make the other party afraid. However, after investigation, it was found that the Geng family and the Zhao family were simply scum. Such scum should have been removed and kept with them will only cause more people to suffer. The so-called murder is to save people, so Gao Zhan did not intend to be polite.

As he thought about it, the phone went out and Brother Sun's voice rang: "Is it Mr. Zhan? I heard about today. Tell me... what should I do? Should I arrange for that guy to be in a car accident? Or should I send someone to their property to cause trouble!"

"I was in a car accident!" Hearing Brother Sun's words, Gao Zhan felt chills. Although the other party's behavior was bad, Gao Zhan did not want to use gangster methods. This is also the bottom line of the Li family and Gao Zhan's bottom line.

While thinking, Gao Zhan said in a deep voice: "In this matter, I plan to go to Baidao to mess with them. The evidence from the Geng family I collected last time is still there, right?"

"Here! They are all here..." After hearing Gao Zhan's words, Sun Peng couldn't help but sweat. Although Gao Zhan didn't say much, Sun Peng knew that this guy seemed to be ruthless.

Don’t think that going to the white path is more kind than the underworld. Take the Geng family as an example. Once they lose money and lose the protection of those thugs, their fate will be extremely miserable. Those who were bullied and humiliated by them in the past will take the opportunity to retaliate. As for the specific consequences, no one can know, it depends on how great the evil they have committed.

After pondering for a while, Gao Zhan continued: "Side by the Zhao family, please ask Brother Sun to inquire, but don't attract their attention. No matter what, no mistake can be made in this matter."

Hearing Gao Zhan so serious, Sun Peng seemed to realize something and said cautiously: "This... Mr. Zhan, what are you going to do this this time?"

"Hmph!" said Gao Zhan in a cold voice: "Go to normal procedures. If they are doing business properly, then I can't do anything to them, but if there is anything wrong with them, the gods can't save them."

"Sweat..." Shaking his head, Brother Sun smiled bitterly: "Now, if you really check it, no one will be cured. Just Zhao Guangming and Geng Debiao, even if the others are clean, they will be ruined just by evading taxes and sleeping. Besides, we still have so much information in our hands. If we really check it and follow the judicial procedures, they will not be cured. At this point, I can guarantee the head."

"Success!" Gao Zhan said with a grim voice: "The more evidence, the better. If you don't do it this time, you will either not do it. If you want to do it, they will not be able to turn over."

Speaking of this, Gao Zhan hesitated for a moment. This matter was indeed too serious. In order to make Sun Peng pay enough attention, Gao Zhan thought for a while and said, "Brother Sun, I'll give you a break. This time I moved not Brother Mingzhe, but the old man. You also know the old man's current situation. If something goes wrong here, then..."

When Sun Peng heard Gao Zhan's words, he was frightened and sweated. Gao Zhan was getting more and more amazing. Even the old man was moved. This was something that Li Mingzhe had not done before.

After learning the news, Sun Peng could not be nervous. As Gao Zhan said, this time, there would be no mistake, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

After everything was arranged, Gao Zhan returned to the upper floor and started to write. When everyone came back in the evening, there must be a lot of things to talk about, and I am afraid there is no time to write.

When typing, time passed quickly. It seemed that just a while, an afternoon passed. When Gao Zhan finally finished his work, it was already evening and he was so hungry that he was rumbled, but no one at home came back.

Looking at the dim and dark room, Gao Zhan's mouth was full of bitterness. He didn't know whether to make money or not, but the first one he got was lonely. After getting used to the sound of orioles in the room, the room suddenly became quiet, but he was not used to it and was very lonely.

Time passed by minute by minute, until it was completely dark and no one came back. He frowned, Gao Zhan took out his cell phone, thought for a while, and directly called Li Qian.

As soon as the phone was called, Li Qian's voice rang: "Are Gao Zhan? Where are you? It's time for dinner, everyone hasn't eaten yet. What should I do... Should I go to eat in batches, or send someone to deliver it, and what should I do at night? Should I keep someone on duty? When will the store close at what time?"

Listening to Li Qian's series of questions, Gao Han then remembered that he was the boss. Even if Li Qian had an idea, he would have to make decisions.

After thinking for a while, Gao Zhan said decisively: "In this way, Lin Na, He Wei, and Zhou Yue led two newly hired clerks. The five of them worked during the day, went to work at 9 am, and persisted until 5 pm. Then Peng Yun and Guo Xiufen took over the remaining two clerks until twelve o'clock. There was no need to leave anyone on duty in the store for the time being, and there was no place to sleep."

Speaking of this, Gao Zhan paused for a moment, and then continued: "As for eating, I will consider this, but today I will order a fast food bar from outside and deliver it directly to the store. Everyone will go to the second floor to eat."

"Okay..." He agreed repeatedly, and after Gao Zhan finished speaking, Li Qian said anxiously: "Then I'll make arrangements first, you can find a place to eat by yourself, I'm going..." After saying that, Li Qian quickly hung up her phone.

With a long sigh, Gao Zhan leaned back on the sofa, gently pressed his forehead and thought, and carefully calculated that Lu Ying, Li Qian, Peng Yun, Guo Xiufen, Lin Na, He Wei, and the four newly recruited clerks had already ten clerks in the store. Eating had indeed become a problem. Going out to order meals every day for the time being, but over the long term, it was still a little bit forced.

Do you want to build a kitchen upstairs? No...no, there is no place on the first, second and third floors, and no fourth floors. There is the most important floor. As for the fifth floor, there is no need to say, it will definitely not be possible.

After thinking for a while, Gao Zhan couldn't make a decision. He was worried about the restaurant meals. He cut corners, but who knew what oil they used? If the employees' bodies were damaged, Gao Zhan's guilt would be great.

Although this person lives not only for food, drink, defecation, but there is no doubt that eating and drinking is very important. Many people even want to eat and drink some good things just for the sake of living, so... they really can't be careless when eating.

After thinking for a long time, finally... Gao Zhan slapped his legs hard and sat up straight. No... This restaurant can't be careless. If everyone can't even eat well, how can they work well?

Not only do you have to eat enough, but you also have to eat well. Lu Ying’s clothing must be the top-notch. You must know... those who eat there, Lu Ying and Bai Lu, are absolutely careless, not to mention... the environment is good and the food is good, so that everyone can have the spirit to create and design.

If you want to reach the fourth floor, you must go through the elevator. Although there is a luxurious spiral staircase between the third floor and the fourth floor, the door is usually locked. It is impossible to go from the third floor to the fourth floor.

While thinking, Gao Zhan finally made a decision. The 440-square-meter space on the fourth floor would be cut out to make a restaurant with 150 square meters, and it would be enough to leave only 300 square meters to build a design room. After all, there is no selling goods there, it is a pure design building, and it cannot require such a large area.

After making a decision, Gao Zhan took out his cell phone and dialed it to Li Qian. After hearing Gao Zhan’s arrangement, Li Qian only thought for a moment and immediately agreed. Although it seemed that 150 square meters had been wasted, it was very huge for improving employees’ sense of collectiveness, honor, and loyalty, love and improvement to the company.

After making a decision, Gao Zhan will no longer need to take care of other things, including equipment procurement, installation, and building renovation...all the series of things will be handled by manager Li Qian.

After making arrangements for others, Gao Zhan knew that it was time to arrange himself. People were iron and food was steel. He was hungry and he was hungry. As he thought, Gao Zhan put on his clothes and left home.

After getting into the driver's seat of the sports car, Gao Zhan became confused. Where should I eat something? After thinking for a while, Gao Zhan smiled slightly and drove towards the pedestrian street. There was a Brazilian barbecue in Santia. I would like to try it today.

When I entered Santia, Gaozhan ordered more than a dozen barbecues that looked very good, and two more bottles of beer, regardless of whether I could eat it or not. Anyway, I had some time.

While eating barbecue and drinking beer, Gao Zhan felt extremely comfortable. While drinking, a sound came from the partition next to him that made Gao Zhan extremely familiar.

"Xiaoxiao... do you have any opinions about me? Why are you so cold to me? Is it something I did not do well?" a boy said melancholy.

Gao Zhan is very familiar with this male voice, but Gao Zhan couldn't believe it would be that person. As he was puzzled, a soft female voice rang: "Tian Han, you didn't do anything bad, and I was not cold to you."

"Sweat..." Hearing this female voice, Gao Zhan gently put down his beer glass, and he was finally sure that the two next door were no one else, the lovers Tian Han and Huang Xiao.

While thinking, Tian Han's voice continued: "Xiaoxiao, since you are not cold to me, then I'll ask you, are we lovers?"

With Tian Han's inquiry, Huang Xiao was silent for a while, and then said decisively: "Of course, we are in love."

Hearing Huang Xiao's words, Tian Han's voice suddenly increased a little, and he complained: "Since we are lovers, why do you have to throw away my hands immediately? If you want to hug you, let alone kiss me."

"Tian Han!" Hearing Tian Han's words, Huang Xiao's voice suddenly became stern, lowering his voice, Huang Xiaosen said: "Tian Han, don't compare me with other women. I, Huang Xiao, are not those stupid women. Unless it is the day of marriage, you don't think about getting anything from me. If you have these purposes, then I can only say that I am not suitable for you."

Hearing Huang Xiao's words, Gao Zhan picked up the beer again and took a big sip. Huang Xiao is indeed a smart woman. She has always been. She knows what she wants and knows how to think about the future. Now that she thinks about it, it is not wrong for her to reject herself at that time, but she shouldn't be so harsh.

"No... Xiaoxiao, I don't mean that. I just wonder, can you be intimate with me? We are lovers, but what you are doing now is like we are just ordinary friends." Tian Han obviously really cared about Huang Xiao, and his voice was a little stuttering.

Hearing Tian Han's words, Huang Xiao was silent for a while, then sighed and said, "Tian Han, my mother told me since she was a child that girls should be confident, proud, and know that they love themselves. It's not that I refuse to treat you well, but if the so-called good to you and that they want to practice themselves, I will look down on myself."

Speaking of this, Huang Xiao paused slightly, and then continued, "I don't know what you think, but I'm very sure that if you contact me just to get something you want from me, then you are destined to be disappointed. Although I, Huang Xiao, are not such a feudal girl, whoever wants to get anything from me must have me, Huang Xiao willingly fall in love with him and then marry him. Without this premise, I will never do anything without knowing how to give."

"You... don't you love me?" Tian Han said tremblingly.

After a while of silence, Huang Xiao said extremely seriously. "Tian Han, we are in love, and I know this, but for now, you have not made me fall in love with you, and... even if I have fallen in love with you, I will still not give you anything unless it is the day of marriage. If you cannot accept this, then I can only say sorry. I am such a girl, and loving myself is better than loving others."

"Haha..." Gao Zhan chuckled when he heard Huang Xiao's words. Although he had so many unpleasant feelings with her, to be honest, he still admired such girls. At least she dared to love and hate, dared to think and say, clearly distinguished love and hate, straightforward and unpretentious, unlike some girls now, who dared to love and do it. The word love seems so cheap and can be kept on your lips. Since you love, you give and do it. How stupid...

"Xiaoxiao, why are you so cruel and ruthless? Don't you know how much I like to relieve you and love you too much?" Tian Han seemed to be really moved, and his voice trembled. It was difficult for Gao Zhan to associate him with the handsome handsome guy who was so gorgeous in high school.

But if you think about it carefully, no matter whether you are a man or a woman, you will be so conflicted once you meet your beloved person. Such anxiety and loss will be ineffective in the face of love. No matter how strong you are, there will be no resistance in the face of love.

After a while of silence, Huang Xiao said seriously. "Tian Han, I know that this may be a bit cruel, but my mother told me very early on that we should do things with ease and not drag it out. If it is boring to the other party, we should reject him fiercely, not leave any room, and don't give the other party the wrong thoughts and emotional matters because of a temporary softheartedness. The more you drag it out, the more troublesome it will be, the more entangled it will be, and the more the damage it will be, the greater the final harm."

Speaking of this, Huang Xiao sighed sadly and continued: "Men nowadays always like to believe in a word, saying that girls say no, and say no, just want, so... Maybe you think I am cruel and ruthless, but I just want you to know my thoughts clearly. This is responsible for myself, and even more responsible for you."

"Pu" Hearing Huang Xiao's words, Gao Zhan was shocked. When he let go of his hand in a daze, the bottle of wine fell on the table, making a muffled sound.

In fact, Gao Zhan has always held a grudge against Huang Xiao’s rejection at that time. Although he said he didn’t mind on the surface, in fact, deep in his heart, the wound was always there.

It's not wrong to be rejected. After all, there is no obligation to agree to him, but what makes Gao Zhan mind is that the other party's rejection is so sarcastic and so hurtful. That blow to Gao Zhan is really too big.

But today, after listening to Huang Xiao’s change, Gao Zhan suddenly understood that from a certain perspective, Huang Xiao was actually not wrong. Maybe her style of behavior is a bit toxic, but as she said, this is not the most responsible attitude towards herself and the other party.

Without giving the other party unnecessary fantasies, she simply decided to dispel the other party's thoughts. Although it was cruel, it was the most effective. After that incident, Gao Zhan's impression of Huang Xiao suddenly changed from admiration to extreme disgust, and there was no trace of fantasy. From this perspective, she was successful.

Thinking about it now, if she hadn't been so quick and mercilessly refused, even if he met Lu Ying, it would be difficult for him to devote himself to love. In his heart, Huang Xiao always had the figure.

Boys should be raised poorly, and girls should be raised richly. Because boys should be raised poorly only when they are raised poorly, and girls should be raised richly, so that they will not be deceived by others when they are raised little.

There have always been many wealthy ladies, and since ancient times, there have been few great men. This sentence is really true. If a girl is not proud, it will be difficult for her to love herself. If she doesn't know how to love herself, she will be confused and will be taken away by the boys, until she gets tired of playing.

Gao Zhan didn't know how to evaluate Huang Xiao, but one thing is certain. She was not wrong in handling this matter.

Although the rejection at that time was a bit cruel, they were the most responsible for each other. As a girl, being a little arrogant and loving, this is not only not a disadvantage, but rather its greatest advantage.

"Oh..." With a long sigh, Gao Zhan's heart finally completely let go. The hatred for Huang Xiao in his heart finally completely disappeared. He no longer hated Huang Xiao. Everything in the past has become a past event, a symbol in memory, and a commemoration of youth.

He drank all the beer in the bottle in one mouthful, Gao Zhan stood up, did not continue to eavesdrop on the two of them chatting, and walked out strode, letting him go over what was past, and cherishing the present is what the wise man did.

When I got home all the way, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening, and there was still no one at home. Even the girl Lulu ran to the store after school. Although she couldn't help much, she just loved to stay there.

He shook his head with a wry smile. Thinking of his past career as an otaku, Gao Zhan really couldn't figure out how he could bear it. He locked himself at home, locked himself in the room, sat in front of the computer, and played those boring and monotonous games every day. What fun is there to say? I really don't understand.
To be continued...
