On the outskirts of Shanghai, in an exquisite villa filled with oriental charm.
In the study on the second floor.
An old man wearing presbyopic glasses was reading a book. A middle-aged woman walked in with a glass of warm water and some medicine.
"Master! It's time to take your medicine!"
"Got it, put it there! I'll eat later!"
"You should eat it! If you don't eat it, I won't be able to explain it to Miss when she comes back…"
Hearing the old man's words, the middle-aged woman shook her head helplessly and advised.
"Hey! This girl! Why are you venting your anger on me?!"
When the old man heard this, he immediately took off his glasses and said angrily.
The middle-aged woman could only smile bitterly and did not dare to speak.
The old and the young in the family were not easy to worry about!
If it wasn't for the fact that she had been a servant in the butler's house for more than ten years and knew the temper of these two people, others might not be able to handle it.
"Sigh... Alright, alright…"
"Mrs. Landis, give it to me!"
"Yun 'er, this girl…It's been hard on you…"
The old man looked at Mrs. Landis, who was smiling bitterly, and waved his hand.
"Hehe, Old Master! Miss is also thinking for you! After all, your health is important!"
When Mrs. Landis heard this, a smile appeared on her face as she walked forward. She placed the glass of water on the table, opened the bottle, and carefully poured out a pill for her.
"How can I not know that!"
"It's just that I rely on medicine to live every day. It's really..."
"Ding ling ling…"
The old man took the medicine. As he spoke, the phone beside his desk suddenly rang.
When Mrs. Landis saw this, she immediately bowed and quickly walked out of the room.
When she left the room, she closed the door behind her.
As an elder of the Guan family!
She knew that the phone in her master's study was ringing. It must be something important.
Therefore, she consciously left to avoid arousing suspicion.
The Guan family's status was not ordinary.
Seeing that Mrs. Landis had left, the old man calmly picked up the phone.
"Hello..."
"Old Master…Sorry for disturbing…"
The voice on the other end of the phone made the old man raise his eyebrows.
"Hahaha, it's you, kid…"
"What's wrong? I haven't been to your shop for a few days. Is there no business? You want to rip off a regular customer like me?"
The old man laughed and joked.
"What are you saying…Besides, you don't lack this bit of money…"
Hearing the other party's teasing, Qiao Mu's tone also became a little helpless.
This old man clearly had an extraordinary status, but he always looked like an old naughty child.
However, it was precisely because of this that the two of them only met a few times and interacted as if they had known each other for ten years.
"Alright! I even declined when I gave you my number back then!”
"You must have encountered some trouble by calling me today, right? You won't make trouble for the customers because of your price, right? Don't look for me for such a small matter!"
Although the old man was talking about serious matters, his tone was still full of teasing.
Obviously, he was gloating at this moment.
"Aiyo, Old Master! If it's really because of the price, I'm not afraid. After all, my skills are there!”
"Speaking of which, this matter is a little complicated. To be honest, I have offended the Shangguan family…I don't know..."
Qiao Mu said softly.
"Hmm? An official? How could a restaurant owner like you offend an official?”
When the old man heard this, his expression changed slightly.
Although he admired Qiao Mu, he still had to look at the situation!
If the other party did something illegal, no matter how much he admired the other party, he would definitely not cover up for him.
"It's like this…"
Qiao Mu heard the other party's tone and knew that the other party must have something to rely on.
Without hesitation, he told the other party what had happened.
"Hahaha! You brat! This matter!"
"I have to say that you're really capable! Opening a small restaurant was enough to give a slap to the face! If I open a restaurant for you, will the chief of Shanghai be kicked by you too?”
After the old man heard what had happened, he immediately burst into laughter over the phone.
"I say, Old Master! What's so funny about this! Even officials couldn't do this, right?”
"Just tell me if there's a way! Otherwise, if you want to take a bite of me in the future, I'm afraid you'll have to look for me in the iron cage!”
Anyway, he had already told her what had happened, and Qiao Mu looked like a dead pig that wasn't afraid of boiling water.
"Hey! Little Mu! He even threatened the old man! Is this the attitude of asking for help?”
"Aiya! Old Master, isn't the person she's looking for almost here? You should also give me a definite answer!"
"Humph! Alright! I really owe you! Do you have any new dishes when I go to your shop next time?”
"Yes, yes, yes! Yellow croaker wontons! If you're not satisfied after tasting it, I'll do whatever you want!”
"That's more like it. Someone will contact you later! Just tell him your address!"
"Alright!"
"Pata."
The old man hung up the phone.
Then, he didn't bother to take his medicine and made another call.
The phone rang for two seconds before someone picked up.
"Elder Guan! I didn't expect you to suddenly call me today!”
A man's voice sounded from the other end of the phone.
"Little Fang…There's something I need you to do for me…"
"Aiyo! What did he say! You're my old leader. If there's anything you need, just tell me!”
"Ke ke, this old man will not stand on ceremony…"
...
A minute later, the old man hung up.
When he saw a pill on the table, he frowned slightly and threw it into the drawer beside him.
Inside the drawer were nearly a hundred pills of the same medicine.
"It is enough to live for so many years…"
"If I rely on this thing... Why don't you try more of Little Mu's craftsmanship…"
I'm begging for a ticket ~
