Chapter 933: You Evil Woman
Changyi had a very straightforward thought pattern, it was simple too.
This lady was from the Saint Divine Land and she owned a very large restaurant. So she must have a lot of money as well. All the Imperial Master did was use her branded dish, and as someone living far from the Saint Divine Land, she and her own restaurant should not be harmed because of Fortune Restaurant, so this lady should not insist on getting Fortune Restaurant into trouble! If her purpose was to earn money, Fortune Restaurant could just pay her. She did not have to be so persistent about this at all.
Hearing what Changyi said, the Imperial Master nodded in satisfaction. He barely thought highly of those employees at Fortune Restaurant, and he found them annoying, but Changyi, who the Imperial Master had beaten and scolded numerous times, turned out to be very helpful. That was good.
He was right. Gu Chaoyan was a businesswoman, and what she needed was just some money.
She was driven out of her family and was marrying an imperial lord, so she needed to have dowries of her own. That was why she needed to earn money for herself.
He could just pay her with whatever he had. It was very easy.
Changyi was someone with a brain.
Zhou Huaiyu, on the other hand, was surprised – how could someone try so hard to sound reasonable in front of Lady Chaoyan, when they had already spoken clearly.
He looked somehow irritated and was about to go up to Changyi, when Gu Chaoyan stopped him, seeing his intended move and told him not to take any action right now.
Gu Chaoyan looked at Changyi. “Why should I sell the branded dish to you, anyway?”
“…”
“I am not selling the dish, nor do I need your money, what do you plan to do to me?”
“…”
“It is your court’s problem, thay civilians of the Feather Mulberry Land are having a hard time. I am just a minor woman, so why should I take responsibility for your trouble?”
“…”
“You are poor, yes, but can’t you be a little bit more dignified?”
...
“…”
“You are right, it is just one branded dish. So why didn’t the Imperial Master come and ask me for authorization, when he was in the Saint Divine Land?”
“…”
“That’s the most fundamental respect someone should show to others.”
“…”
“The Imperial Master did not ask me. Instead, he took away my chef from Yellow Crane directly and started a business here in the Feather Mulberry Land instead. If everyone has this kind of idea… what about us bringing some talents from your country instead?”
“…”
“You have no morality, so why do you call me evil?”
Gu Chaoyan thought that someone was defending the Imperial Master for real, but that was not true. This man was full of dignity and sounded rather just, whilst the truth was that he was very selfish. He was not worrying about the Imperial Master, nor was he worried about the civilians in the Feather Mulberry Land or the civilians at Fortune Restaurant. He was worrying about himself.
He was saying all of this, just for himself. For his own future.
The Imperial Master was the one behind Fortune Restaurant, so he thought that he had found the rope to climb higher until he reached the top, but now the rope was broken, which made him panic.
He looked as if he was dignified and thinking for the sake of others, but in fact, he was trying to threaten her.
However, Gu Chaoyan wasn’t someone ordinary. Those words did not frighten her at all.
She waved her hands, telling the guards to take this man away.
Panicking, Changyi shouted at Gu Chaoyan. “You evil woman!”
