The three of them talked and laughed loudly as if no one else was around, but the people who were watching were murmuring in their hearts: Who is the owner of this shop? He is young, and judging by his appearance, he seems to have a good relationship with Prince Fu and Princess Changping.

With a backer, it's hard to imagine whether your business will be prosperous or not.

At this time, a carriage drove up the street, with one horse and two shafts. Although it was not luxurious, it was exquisite. Fang Zheng took a look and said: "My father is here, Sister Feng, hurry up, let's go and greet him."

The fat man said quickly: "Let's go together." Chang Ping nodded vigorously.

Not long after, the carriage stopped in the open space in front of the door. Mr. Fang Shi Shiran walked out of it. Fang Zheng quickly stepped forward and bowed. Mr. Fang nodded with a smile and turned his head to see Prince Fu and Princess Changping.

He couldn't help but be stunned, and then he quickly bowed his hands to his brother and sister and said, "The common people have met His Royal Highness Prince Fu and His Royal Highness Princess Changping."

The fat man looked helpless, but he could only return the salute. As a nephew in the Fang Mansion, it was reasonable for the fat man to salute Mr. Fang. But it was different outside, with so many people watching. As a prince, he could not lose the royal family.

Authority and propriety. If the fat man calls "Uncle Fang" in front of everyone, the Fang family will be confiscated by the imperial army the next day.

When Master Fang salutes, Chang Ping is the one who suffers the most. This girl only wants to marry Fang Zheng. If she allows her future father-in-law to salute her, her life will be shortened. How will she marry into the Fang family in the future?

Door? So as soon as Mr. Fang handed over his hand, the girl immediately ducked aside and hid far away.

Although Sister Feng has known Fang Zheng for so long, she has never met Mr. Fang. After all, Mr. Fang’s status in the business world is not something that anyone can meet if they want. At this time, Sister Feng Yingying came forward and said: "Cui Fengniang has met my old boss.

.My old boss came here in person, Feng Niang is very grateful."

Mr. Fang narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "You are the one doing business with Zheng'er?"

"It's Feng Niang."

Mr. Fang nodded and said, "Well, yes, he is responsible and capable. A woman is better than a man. Zheng'er is still young and has a bit of a wild temper. With you reminding me, I feel relieved."

Chang Ping became unhappy when he heard this, "Uncle Fang... Old boss Fang, if you don't have me here, I will also help Fang Zheng. If you want money, just ask."

Mr. Fang smiled and said: "The princess is joking. The princess is a golden branch and a jade leaf. How can she do such a lowly job and wait for it? This is my sin."

When Chang Ping heard this, his face fell, and he looked at Fang Zheng aggrievedly. Fang Zheng didn't answer, he just looked at her and smiled.

Sister Feng looked at the scene in front of her and couldn't help but feel a little funny in her heart. Although there were not many people, everyone had their own thoughts. I really didn't know how to untie this mess.

A few people chatted at the door for a while, and then the guests came one after another. Fang Zheng and Sister Feng became even more busy. The guests they invited were all big shopkeepers and big bosses in the Jinling business community, from all walks of life. If not everyone

They are all doing it for the sake of the Fang family business. How can it be possible to attract them with just this small Ruyuzhai?

So Fang Zheng and Sister Feng were busy, but Mr. Fang was even busier. After the guests arrived, they just casually said a few words to them, encouraged them, and then all gathered in front of Mr. Fang. Some of these guests were Mr. Fang.

Flattery, some were groveling. Mr. Fang's attitude was lukewarm. Sometimes he gave a fake smile, and sometimes he said a few words casually. But the shopkeepers didn't think they were disobedient, and they all said a few words to them like Mr. Fang, and even

I was proud to smile at him.

Fang Zheng watched from the side and was secretly stunned. He didn't expect his father to be so prosperous in the Jinling business world. When would he be able to get to the point where his father was, it wouldn't be a waste of time.

Seeing that everyone had left Prince Fu and Princess aside, Mr. Fang quickly introduced to everyone: "Everyone, everyone, please come and meet His Royal Highness Prince Fu and Princess Changping."

Everyone was shocked when they heard this and quickly kowtowed. They had only been flattering Mr. Fang, but they didn't notice that there were such two big shots in the crowd. They couldn't help but be afraid of Fang's business. When the shop opened, even the prince and princess could do it.

Please come and support me. I have visited all the major businesses in the Hua Dynasty several times. Who has such great reputation? There is actually a background of the imperial court behind this Fang family business. It is not simple!

After everyone got up, like a group of sharks smelling the smell of blood, they surrounded Fatty and Changping with a "boom" and disappeared. For a while, they sang praises and flattered each other. The guards of Prince Fu's Mansion were frightened.

They were all on tenterhooks, holding the hilts of their knives tightly and being on guard. - If someone took advantage of the chaos and stabbed Prince Fu, the murderer would not be able to be identified.

Fatty and Changping were squeezed into the crowd and couldn't move. Fatty had a good temper and had no other reaction except forcing a smile and nodding. Princess Changping didn't have such a good temper. Apart from Fang Zheng, this girl had never been polite to anyone before.

?

Seeing that everyone was still harassing him, Chang Ping said angrily: "Get out of here! Be careful that I will punish you nine tribes!" After saying that, he suddenly became alert and looked at Mr. Fang cautiously. When he saw him stroking his beard and smiling, he said,

It didn't seem strange, and I felt relieved now.

When the bosses saw that Her Highness the Princess had a bad temper, they all backed away and came closer to Mr. Fang with an eyeful of eyebrows.

The fat man wiped his sweat, pulled Fang Zheng aside, and said with a wry smile: "Brother Fang, I have never encountered this kind of formation before. Today is an eye-opener."

Fang Zheng smiled and said: "This is not bad. You have never seen businessmen negotiating, so it would be a tragedy."

The fat man smiled meaningfully: "Today's scene reminds me of the food chain you once told me."

As he spoke, the fat man pursed his lips towards the group of people and said, "Did you see it? Doesn't this scene look like what you told me about... Oh, the law of nature? Big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat shrimps. Now look.

Come on, Brother Fang’s words really make sense.”

Fang Zheng nodded: "Yes, in fact, humans and animals are the same in some aspects. No matter what circle, it has its rules of the game. If you violate the rules or ignore the rules, the result will definitely not be tolerated by the circle."

The fat man suddenly said meaningfully: "Brother Fang, in this food chain, which link do you think you belong to? Do you eat others, or are you eaten by others?"

Fang Zheng was stunned, then said with a smile: "Hey, I don't have a good appetite, so I am a vegetarian."

The fat man said leisurely: "Brilliant clothes, sleeping among flowers, delicious food and wine, and red sleeves adding fragrance. Brother Fang, such a life is certainly pleasant, but how long can you live it? One year? Two years? Or maybe three to five years

Year? The Fang family's property is so big. How can you protect it if you have no power? Take your Fang family, for example, where is it in the food chain within the territory of our Hua Dynasty? Maybe it is the glory now, but if not

With a strong person behind you, how many more years do you think the Fang family can be prosperous? Maybe you haven't thought about this question, but I'm sure Uncle Fang must have thought about it, and his worries are getting deeper. If you don't believe it, you can

Go ask your uncle."

Fang Zheng was stunned. Fatty had always been joking with him and had never seriously said these words to him. He had to admit that these words made sense, and it was not that Fang Zheng had never thought about it, he was just too lazy to think about it.

, or he doesn’t want to think about it.

After traveling to this strange era, Fang Zheng's goals for himself were not high. As long as he had money to spend, girls to be with, and a comfortable life, why should he pursue those unreasonable powers? He had read history books thoroughly.

Of course, we know that from ancient times to the present, there have been many powerful officials and famous ministers who have been in a position of great power. They once led the ministers in response to the call of a hundred people, and they once stood proud in the court through clouds and rains. But how many of these people died a good death? In the end, they were not beheaded.

Even if they are sent to prison, there are only a few people who can start and end well. Maybe they don't want to be too conspicuous, but once a person reaches a certain position, many things are out of his control and many things have to be done. Even if you don't

If you do it, there will be people to help you do it. In officialdom, it is easier said than done to keep one's power and concealment!

Fang Zheng doesn't want to be an official. In the final analysis, he still has a fear of imperial power deep down in his heart. No matter how powerful you are, the emperor can wipe you out with just one word. Only a fool is willing to live such a frightening life.

But what the fat man said today touched him. Yes, can you stay safe without getting involved in officialdom? As the saying goes, officials and businessmen are inseparable. The Fang family's current industry is indeed huge, but the Fang family is in the officialdom.

But there is no backer to rely on. No matter how big the industry is, it is just a mirage. If the official is unhappy one day, the Fang family will collapse. What will happen then? Go to the streets to beg for food with the help of your elderly father and mother.

?

Maybe he can lean on Fatty's big tree. He is a prince after all. It is not difficult to protect a mere merchant's home. But Fang Zheng doesn't want such things related to interests to get involved between himself and Fatty. Friendship is

If friendship is related to interests, are they still friends?

After thinking so much, Fang Zheng felt a headache. He hadn't thought about things so seriously for a long time, and his IQ seemed to be showing signs of deterioration.

"Fat man, can we not talk about this today? I have to think about this more carefully."

"Okay, haha, it's not the right time to talk about this today. You'd better entertain the guests, don't neglect them."

Seeing Fang Zheng frowning and walking toward the congratulatory guests, a sinister smile appeared on the fat man's face as if he had succeeded.

At this time, a store clerk saw that the customers had almost arrived, so he lit up the firecrackers that had been hung above the door. The crackling was extremely lively for a while. The auspicious time had come. Fang Zheng and Sister Feng, surrounded by the crowd, held them one by one.

He picked up a plaque hanging high above the store door and slowly pulled it down, revealing three large golden characters on a black background, "Ruyu Zhai".

Mr. Fang said to everyone at the right time: "Everyone, everyone must know this Ruyuzhai branch. The branch that Ruyuzhai opened today contains people from our Fang family business. On weekdays, it is left to Quanzi to take care of it.

I hope all the major merchants in Jinling City will take care of you and support you in the future. I would like to thank you here!" After saying this, Mr. Fang bowed his hands to everyone.

How to say this sentence? Mr. Fang has been mentally drafting this sentence for a long time. Later, he decided to try not to mention Sister Feng at all. This way, in the eyes of the business owners in Jinling City, they would think that Ru Yuzhai is owned by the Fang family business, which is good.

Deter those business opponents who have evil intentions towards Ru Yuzhai. In this way, they will have fear and they will probably have less trouble in the future.

Sister Feng didn't care whether Mr. Fang mentioned her or not. In her opinion, it was better to sit close to the big tree to enjoy the shade. What Mr. Fang said was exactly what she wanted. Anyway, what she wanted was profit, not those vain reputations.

All the shopkeepers nodded in agreement and turned to congratulate Fang Zheng and Sister Feng. Fang Zheng and Sister Feng also responded with salutes one by one and bowed in a circle. Fang Zheng felt that his face was stiff from smiling and his hands were sore. It seemed that

The joyous event of opening a business is also a laborious task.

She was already tired enough, but Princess Changping refused to be left alone and followed Fang Zheng to cause trouble. Seeing that Fang Zheng was only concentrating on greeting the shopkeepers and proprietors who came to congratulate her and neglecting her, Changping couldn't help but pouted and said:

She looked like a wronged little daughter-in-law. If any of the shopkeepers said a few words to Fang Zheng, Chang Ping would stare fiercely behind Fang Zheng, making the guests frightened, wiping cold sweat, saying a few casual congratulations, and then turning around and leaving.

This made Fang Zheng smile bitterly. On a good day, he didn't want to get angry with Chang Ping, so he had to let it go.

Sorry, I'm a little late today. The reason is that I overslept. Look, how diligently do you sleep?
