Liu Yue tried hard to hold back her laughter and not look at Tian Shu's colorful face. She walked straight up and grabbed the hand of the charming woman, then covered her sweat towel with her wide sleeves.
"I made an appointment with your Mr. Tian to discuss next year's business. I saw this lady fall and sprain her ankle at the dock, so we helped her back. I did a good deed and wanted to keep my credit to myself, but she insisted on thanking me. We are trying to decline the offer now."
Tian Shu quickly agreed as if relieved, "It was the leader of Liuyue Gang who did the good deed. I just cleared the way. After all, there are differences between men and women, there are differences between men and women, hehe, hehe."
"The gang leader is so awesome! Mr. Muzi, didn't you see that Boss Tian's face was distorted with anxiety, and he was begging and flattering the gang leader?"
In the meeting room of the Cao Gang, Jin Yu excitedly described the scene to Hei Muzi in a low voice.
Hei Muzi put down the brush in his hand, handed the result to Liu Yue, and looked at Jin Yu with a smile, "Everyone thinks that the gang leader is just lucky to be favored by the old gang leader and inherit this position, but they don't know that the gang leader is brave and resourceful, and she is as capable as any man."
Liu Yue criticized himself seriously, "I am only good at lightness skills and bone shrinking skills, but my martial arts skills are still not good enough, otherwise I would have confronted the prince head-on."
Jin Yu wanted to express his admiration, but Liu Yue stopped him in time, "Jin Yu, blindly worshipping someone is not good. It can easily lead to overpraising. I need a clear mind."
"No, I worship soberly and not blindly, I..."
Jin Yu was interrupted before she could finish expressing her personal worship because someone from the palace came.
"Grand Princess Jingmo is such a noble person, why would she invite me to her birthday party?" Liu Yue frowned, very confused.
The invitation card sent from the palace lay quietly on the table. The vermilion paper was embossed with faint golden patterns. Hei Muzi tapped the words on it and said, "You'll only know when you go there. Boss, the date is at the end of the month!"
"That's true. There are still twenty days left. What kind of birthday gift should we prepare? Is there enough time?"
Hei Muzi was silent for a moment, "Boss, what I mean is that the Crown Prince will definitely attend the birthday of Grand Princess Jing Mo as his nephew. It would be best if we could talk to the Crown Prince before that, so as to avoid any unpleasantness when we meet."
Liu Yue patted the account book and said, "I know that if we don't figure out what's going on, the Cao Gang will soon collapse. Look at this season, the profits are decreasing day by day."
"It's a pity that Tian Shu doesn't have any valuable information. His timber business is not particularly large. Zhou can lead him away with two years of purchasing. The other companies shouldn't be so easy to be lured."
"What did the people we sent out say? That guy still refuses to see me?" Liu Yue suppressed the speculation in his mind and did not speak it out rashly. Instead, he asked about the progress of inviting the prince.
Hei Muzi shook his head and sighed, his thin face full of disappointment, "The Ministry of Industry won't even accept visiting cards now, saying that the guy told us not to accept them."
"The Cao Gang has had no direct contact with the royal family since the disbandment of the Feilong Sect several decades ago. The two generations of gang leaders have also followed the wishes of the former Sect Master Wen Yi and only do business without asking about other things. There is no channel for contact with a noble like the prince."
"What about the dock? What's the situation at the dock now? He stole my business, so we have to protect our foundation. If even the dock gets into trouble, it will be really troublesome." Liu Yue suddenly felt panic for no reason.
