Chapter 233 The shopping mall is like a battlefield!
When Fujino saw the man coming downstairs to pick up Li Qingwan, he seemed to understand something at that moment, "Who is that man?"
"Your Excellency, he seems to be a wealthy businessman in the Jiangnan area."
"Rich businessman?"
Fujino finally understood why Li Qingwan was not moved by his conditions. It turned out that money was simply not enough to satisfy her. She had no shortage of money!
"Go and find out where he came from. Also, find a way to bring all the skilled craftsmen in Li Qingwan's workshop to me. Without those people, Li Qingwan will definitely lose!"
He naturally knew that every step in making silk could not be done without people. As long as the master who made the cloth disappeared, no matter how powerful Li Qingwan was, she would lose to them. No matter what, Japan must win this competition!
Absolutely can't lose!
Here, Fujino wanted to use human weaknesses to contain Li Qingwan, while downstairs in the restaurant, as soon as Li Qingwan came out, she saw Mu Shenyin coming to pick her up.
"Awan!"
"Ayin, why are you here?"
She didn't know how he came, and it seemed that he knew her whereabouts every time. This made her think of what Madam Su said, are Mu Shenyin and the mysterious regent the same person?
"I waited for you at home all night. I heard you were here. How was it? Did that old Fujino bully you?"
What, he knew Fujino was looking for her?
"No, let's get in the carriage and talk about it!"
In the luxurious carriage, Mu Shenyin personally poured a cup of tea and handed it to her, "Fujino is the person in charge of this competition. What does he want to see you about?"
After hearing Mu Shenyin's words, she became even more suspicious of his identity, "How do you know that Fujino is the person in charge of this competition?"
These words made Mu Shenyin narrow his eyes slightly. He knew that she had already suspected him, and this time, he didn't want to explain anything more. He believed that she would know his identity sooner or later.
It's time for her to know!
"It's not difficult to find out his identity. What does he want from you?"
Seeing that he was no longer hiding anything, Li Qingwan was even more certain, "He wants to persuade me to withdraw from the competition!"
"quit?"
Mu Shenyin was still very surprised. After all, this competition was requested by Fujino and the others themselves, but now they want Li Qingwan to withdraw. Did they already know that they would lose, so they came to Li Qingwan to persuade her first?
"That's right, he wants me to withdraw and use money to get rid of me. These Japanese people have always been mean-spirited. The more he does this, the more I will insist on playing. This game is about the dignity of our Celestial Empire, and we must not lose!"
"It seems that they know your strength and are afraid of you, so they want to make a move!"
"I have already rejected them, Ayin. I don't understand why the emperor agreed to the provocation of the Japanese?"
In fact, she felt that there was nothing to compete at all. The Japanese were stealing their technology and wanted to take it for themselves, so there was no need to give them a chance.
"This is a matter between the two countries. I am not very clear about it, but don't worry, with me here, Fujino won't dare to do anything!"
With Mu Shenyin's words, Li Qingwan was naturally relieved. She knew that he had this ability, and naturally, she believed him!
"Well, I have to go back to the workshop now. I need to get something. Madam Su's craftsmanship is not good. The fabrics are too heavy. They need to be improved."
"Failed?"
"That's right, we're out of time!"
Hearing her words, Mu Shenyin also knew that the situation was urgent, "I'll take you to find Madam Su. I also want to see what's going on."
"Are you going too?"
"I'll go with you and get this done!"
With Mu Shenyin's words, she had no choice but to take him there. But she didn't expect to hear that something happened as soon as they arrived at the workshop.
"Boss, boss!"
When Hu Zi saw her coming back, he immediately ran towards her and said, "Boss, something happened. Many of us just said we don't want to do this anymore. We are waiting for you now!"
what?
When hearing this, Li Qingwan immediately thought that it was Sima Yue who did it. Could it be that he found someone to help him?
"Where are they?"
"Inside, waiting to see you!"
After Li Qingwan and Mu Shenyin went in, they saw the group of people standing there waiting for them to come back. "Boss, we have something to do at home, so we have to leave first. We are so sorry!"
These people were skilled craftsmen she brought from Sima Yue, and her workshop hadn't even opened yet, and they were leaving. This was undoubtedly a huge blow to her.
But she was not impatient and glanced at them coldly, "You followed me here, and I won't stop you if you want to leave now, Manager Lin."
"boss!"
"Pay them their wages and let them go!"
"No, boss. If they leave, we won't be able to work normally. Aren't you going to compete with the Japanese soon? If they leave, then..."
"It doesn't matter. Since they are not happy staying here, it would not be good for me to force them to stay. I have said that they can come and go freely with me. I, Li Qingwan, will never force anyone to stay in the workshop."
Her words made those people feel ashamed, but with so much silver, who could not be tempted?
"I'm sorry, boss!"
Everyone apologized to her, but Li Qingwan felt that there was no need to apologize. "If you want to leave, then go ahead. If you want to come back in the future, come back. You are still welcome here!"
Her generosity made the workers feel even more sorry for her. Several of the leaders suddenly knelt down in front of her and said, "Sorry, boss, we can't do anything about it!"
After saying that, they stood up and left with their people. Of course, there were still some people who were willing to stay, but there were not enough people!
"Awan, you can't be so soft-hearted!"
Mu Shenyin wanted to tell her that it was wrong to do so, and that since they were doing business, they couldn't be so kind in some things. But Li Qingwan insisted. In her opinion, these people's hearts did not belong to her yet, and it was fine if they wanted to go out and see the outside world. They would naturally come back after they hit a wall.
By then it won’t be possible to drive them away.
"It doesn't matter, I believe I will have new workers!"
After that, she asked Manager Lin to give her the secret book and said, "Let's go find Madam Su. The new cloth must be made before tomorrow."
She has the skills and Madam Su has the connections. She believes that they will successfully win this competition and convince the Japanese. Even if they cheat, they cannot stop her.
"Boss, do you know that they were poached?"
Manager Lin asked again, but Li Qingwan narrowed her eyes slightly when she heard it, "Isn't it Sima Yue?"
"I don't think so. Sima Yue has no money now, so he can't dig them out!"
"Isn't it Sima Yue?"
Li Qingwan frowned, "Who could that be? Manager Lin, can you send someone to check where they ended up?"
Hearing this, Manager Lin understood, "Don't worry, boss. I'll have someone check right away."
When Li Qingwan and Mu Shenyin were about to go to Madam Su again, Chunxue came hurriedly outside, seemingly wanting to find Mu Shenyin for something urgent.
"Son!"
After Chunxue whispered a few words in his ear, Mu Shenyin's face became worse and worse. He suddenly turned to Li Qingwan and said, "Awan, I have something to do and have to leave first. I can't accompany you to Madam Su's place."
