Chapter 194
A Famous Flower Chooses Its Owner, Ask for Directions
After contacting Wu Minzhi this time, Mu Yunyao decided to let Qi Ming come forward . After all, she made too much noise in Jingling City . If she rushed to intervene in the salt policy, it would easily arouse other people’s defenses . Qi Ming was a new face . Moreover, Yi Bao Xuan that he prepared was about to open, and it was still fighting against the name of Ni Yun Fang . No matter how others guessed, it wouldn’t connect to her . Qi Ming changed into the clothes that Mu Yunyao had prepared and swaggered into Yangzhou City along with the guards that Yue Wang had sent him . At this moment, Yangzhou City was bustling with noise and excitement . Because of Wu Minzhi’s birthday, the entire city seemed to have come to life . People carrying gifts on all the streets were in an endless stream . There were even some people who were in an uproar because of the order of entering the residence .
When Qi Ming arrived, a long line had already formed in front of the residence . As they saw him swaggering in, many of the people who sent gifts muttered to themselves, “Who is this guy? he doesn’t even have to line up . ”
The people who can appear here are not stupid, and no one rushes to ask questions . Instead, they take advantage of the time when the next person enters the residence and exchanges famous posts . Qi Ming is full of smiles, and it seems to be very gentle to people, but his action and eyes are full of arrogance, which makes people even more afraid to underestimate him .
Soon, the servants who had entered the residence returned and greeted him respectfully, “Greetings, Mister Qi . Our Master invites you in . ” Qi Ming nodded his head proudly, looked at the people around him, and walked into the Wu Residence slowly . The posts that he had held this time prepared specially by Yue Wang . His identity came from the Capital and was vaguely related to the people in the First Prince’s estate . Regardless of whether it was real or fake, at least once such identity had taken out, no one dared to underestimate it .
After they entered the residence, Wu Minzhi personally went out to greet them .
In front of him, Wu Minzhi appeared to be in her forties . His face was pale and did not have a gentle aura . His movements were graceful, and one could not see his iron-blooded wrist, which was rampant throughout his cross-strait business .
“Greetings, Chief Wu . ” Qi Min bends over and salutes, and his action is too thorough . However, there was no hint of flattery or fawning on it . Instead, there was a trace of imperceptible arrogance in his tones .
Wu Minzhi saw his expression and thought for a while . “This must be Mister Qi . There’s no need to be so courteous . Come in and have some tea . ” There had been many of these posts in the past years . But all of the cards that Qi Min had sent made of pure gold, and the engraved handwriting is bold and powerful . At first glance, one could tell that they had come from the hands of many people . Moreover, what was even weirder was that the handwriting on it seemed to be familiar to him .
Only after thinking for a long time did he suddenly remember that he had seen this handwriting back in the Capital .
At this time, the hall was already full of great salt merchants from all over the place . Each one of them was a tyrant from all over the country . If they were to add up all of them together, just a cough would make the entire Jiangnan tremble . Although the merchants are currently in the lower ranks, the influence of these people is inseparable from the officialdom, and no one dares to underestimate their power .
After entering the hall, Qi Ming did not have the slightest timidity on his face . He looked around in a remarkably generous manner and greeted the crowd naturally . “I have long heard that Jiangnan salt merchant has an excellent demeanor . Today, it is really an eye-opener for me to see you all . I pay my respects to all of you, gentlemen . ”
His attitude made everyone puzzled . Moreover, Wu Minzhi went out to meet him in person, so they did not dare to be careless . They all stood up and greeted him, “You’re too courteous . May I know where you are from, sir?”
“This humble man is born ordinary and is not worth mentioning . ” Qi Ming hurriedly shook his head . “I came in a hurry today and didn’t have the time to bring any precious gifts . I heard that Chief Wu loved flowers and plants . I happened to find a peony . Looking at it, it was quite rare . I borrowed flowers to present the Buddha, and wished Chief Wu prosperity and safety . ”
“Peony?” Most of the salt merchants who are present know Wu Min’s hobbies . Most of the gifts that he receives are flowers and plants, but the ones that could really move Wu Minzhi were few in number . Hearing that the gift that Qi Min brought up was the peony, and thinking about the current season, he was a little disappointed in my heart . What is there to admire about peonies this time?
However, Qi Ming didn’t care about the gazes of everyone around him, directly clapping his hands for the servants to bring his gifts up .
The servant brought up a wooden chest, which looked more than half the height of a person . It was made of common camphor wood and looked quite ordinary .
The surrounding people had strange expressions on their faces . They had seen many people give peonies, but this was the first time they had seen that people give a peony using a box . Some of them even let out a chuckle, causing the atmosphere in the hall to grow even weirder . Qi Ming did not mind at all, and his smile was still the same: “The flower that I sent is not ordinary, it can find its owner by itself, so it’s better for you to bring it out personally . The flowers have spirit, and if Chief Wu can’t get its approval, I can only endure the pain and bring it back to find someone who really loves flowers . ”
Wu Min frowned . Today was his birthday . Qi Min just came in a hurry, and what he sent was just a pot of peony, which made him unhappy . Right now, this person had made him bring out the flowers personally . He also hinted that he wasn’t the real flower lover, which made him feel disgusted .
“Mister Qi, since you’re the one who gave them to me, it should be you who bring the flowers out . ” Hearing Wu Minzhi’s words, Qi Ming frowned, and even directly raised his hand to signal Xiao Si to lift the box: “It seems that the gift I gave didn’t enter the eyes of Chief Wu . “It seems that the gift I gave didn’t enter the eyes of Chief Wu . If it is so, I took the liberty to interrupt and leave . I thought you were a real flower lover, yet you didn’t even know about the selection of rare flowers . Haha . . . ” As he spoke, he turned around and walked towards the door .
Wu Minzhi was stunned . The expression in his eyes changed for a moment before he got up and chased after him, “Mister Qi, please wait . ”
Qi Ming stood at the same place, but the smile on his faces became a lot fainter . “I wonder what advice Chief Wu has?”
“I don’t dare to teach you . I was rude to you just now, and I hope Mister Qi doesn’t mind . Mister Qi came as a guest, and if I let you leave like this, it would be because I didn’t receive you properly!” He still hadn’t figured out his identity . If I let him leave like this, there will be bad things that happen in the future .
As the expression on Qi Ming’s face softened, a few more people came out from the hall and spoke with a smile, inviting them to return .
When all of them returned to the hall, people gaze fixated on the box . They wanted to see what it meant to be the flower to choose its owner . If the person in front of them is merely bluffing, they will teach him a lesson .
“Chief Wu, please open the box and invite the peony out . ”
Wu Minzhi nodded . He opened the box with some curiosity and discovered that there was a layer of black silk cloth covering inside . He could not help but secretly shake his head . It was really bluffing .
However, Qi Ming was so nervous . He repeatedly warned Wu Minzhi from the side, “Chief Wu, be careful . Don’t hurt Mu Danzhi’s flower in any way . ”
“Don’t worry, Mister Qi, I’ve been taking care of flowers and plants for so many years . I still have this sense of discretion …” Before Wu Minzhi could finish his sentence, he froze on the spot . His eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at the peony in front of him . “This …”
