677 Conjectures on the Relationship

Zhang Yuanbin’s words made them instantly think about how to deal with with the restaurant.

Zhou Changsheng had been transferred here from An Ding County. The restaurant was also started in An Ding County. The establishment of the restaurant was much longer than what they knew.

This meant that it had already existed when the previous prefect, Ji Zhongcai, was still an official.

What did this mean?

This meant that the restaurant had a close relationship with Zhou Changsheng.

Zhang Yuanbin looked at their thoughtful expressions and immediately slapped his forehead. He said seriously, ” oh no, I actually let it slip. I wonder if the boss will be angry? ”

As he said this, he turned to the people present and said, “Family heads, guild leaders, I still have some matters to attend to. Please have some fruit first. Our boss will come over to thank you for your presence in a short while.”

“Shopkeeper Zhang, if you have something to do, you can go!”

Because they knew that Zhou Changsheng had a good relationship with the owner of the restaurant, everyone was more polite to Zhang Yuanbin.

After Zhang Yuanbin left, the four family heads and the three Chamber of Commerce presidents were all deep in thought.

“Master Li, look at the owner of this restaurant. What kind of person is he?” The head of the Zhang family asked.

Master Li thought for a moment and said, ” I’ve heard rumors that the owner of this restaurant is actually a 12-or 13-year-old girl.”

When Zhang Yuanbin welcomed Lin yuelan, he didn’t hide it from anyone.

The onlookers had all seen Lin yuelan before.

Therefore, there were even more speculations about the identity of Lin yuelan.

However, none of them guessed that this restaurant really belonged to this child. It was not funded by any family.

This made Lin yuelan’s identity even more mysterious.

The Zhang family head nodded in agreement. “I’ve heard the same thing. You see, for a child to be able to run such a big restaurant, she must have some background.”

However, he had another thought in his heart.

This thought sounded ridiculous, but it was also reasonable.

Lu’s family head said disdainfully, ” Hmph, so what if she has a strong background? She’s just a mere merchant, a lowly merchant.”

His words immediately angered the presidents and vice presidents of the Chambers of Commerce.

However, compared to the family heads of the four great families, their status was indeed low. Thus, even if they were looked down upon, they could only endure it.

The President of the Chamber of Commerce, President Chen, still had to smile. “you’re right, patriarch Lu.”

The Lu’s family head glanced at him and nodded slightly. He was satisfied with his tactfulness.

Director Chen’s expression immediately turned joyful.

Although they were the Presidents of the Chamber of Commerce, their identities as merchants were nothing in front of the four families. They could only acknowledge this lowly identity.

However, if they could get close to the four great clans, they would be willing to say anything against their will.

However, Master Lu’s words did not receive the complete agreement of master Zhang and the rest.

The Zhang family head said, “Brother Lu, we have no way of knowing the identity of the owner of this restaurant. Perhaps he is not a merchant at all? ”

Every force and family had their own business. However, they were not businessmen. This was just a requirement for a powerful family.

Only those who had no background and gave up their good records to join the business register could be considered merchants.

As soon as the Zhang family head’s words fell, everyone present fell silent again.

These words were not without reason.

“Everyone, I have a guess, ” the Zhang family head said with a mysterious expression.

Everyone looked at the head of the Zhang family, not knowing what his guess was.

However, the head of the Zhang family didn’t say anything. He only wrote a few words on the table, and everyone immediately came to a realization.

Master Li immediately replied, ” if that’s the case, it makes sense. Moreover, looking at their age, that kind of relationship is also reasonable.”

“Well, everything makes sense now.”
