Chapter 144 A Warm Morning (1)
"That won't work!" Shangguan Shijin refused decisively.

Gu Xiaobei was taken aback for a moment, she had thought that Shangguan Shijin would refuse, but she didn't expect that as soon as her words fell, he immediately and decisively refused.

"You saw that I am the son of the Shangguan family, that's why you said that, but if you knew my situation in the Shangguan family, you wouldn't say that." Shangguan Shijin seemed to be afraid of Gu Xiaobei's misunderstanding. Dazed, he hurriedly explained: "Although I am the son of Shangguan's family, I am born of a concubine, and my old man has prepared it."

"Ah?" Gu Xiaobei was dumbfounded, but in a flash he figured out why Shangguan Shijin refused.

She really didn't expect that Shangguan Shijin was born of a concubine, and if his father passed away, the family's financial power would be controlled by his son.If she opens a restaurant in the name of Shangguan Shijin Shijin, the son-in-law will definitely know about it, and will take the property into Shangguan's mansion and not give it to Shangguan Shijin, and the people who cooperate with her will become Shangguan's family It's not Shangguan Shijin alone.

If things are as Shangguan Shijin said, then Gu Xiaobei really can't let Shangguan Shijin open a second restaurant in his name. She will not cooperate with Shangguan's family that she doesn't know, except because she is Shangguan Shijin's friend. In addition to helping him, what she is most worried about is that if the people in Shangguan's mansion are ambitious, they may bring a lot of trouble to the restaurant.

"If that's the case, then you really can't open this restaurant in your name!" Gu Xiaobei nodded after he figured things out, "Then how do you cooperate with us this time? Is it a storefront?"

Shangguan Shijin shook his head and said: "No, I want to invest in money to cooperate with you. At that time, it will still be run by you. If I don't show up, you can just pay me a dividend."

"That's fine." Gu Xiaobei nodded and said with a smile: "Tomorrow I happen to be going into the city. If you are free tomorrow, come to the Brothers and Sisters Restaurant. Let's go to see a suitable store together, and by the way, we will share the cooperation with you." The details are finalized, try to open the store as early as possible.”

"So I'll go back to the city first, and I'll be there on time tomorrow." Shangguan Shijin said with a smile, and stood up as he spoke.

"I send you!"

Gu Xiaobei followed and stood up. Before he could stand still, Shangguan Shijin handed a small box in front of her. Gu Xiaobei blinked, looked at Shangguan Shijin suspiciously and said, "What is it?"

"Open it and have a look." Seeing that she didn't answer, Shangguan Shijin didn't get annoyed and didn't take back the box, so he kept stretching out his hand and looked at Gu Xiaobei with a smile.

Gu Xiaobei took the small box with some hesitation, and slowly opened it. He couldn't help being stunned when he saw what was inside, and blurted out: "It's that glass earring!"

This earring was exactly the one that Shangguan Shijin wanted to give to her last time, but was interrupted by Bai Qingli and she also confiscated it. Unexpectedly, Shangguan Shijin still kept it until now.

"For you, after a few months, the style may not be so popular, I hope you don't dislike it." Shangguan Shijin looked at her nervously.

Gu Xiaobei felt a little complicated, and subconsciously wanted to hand back the things in his hand: "I..."

"What? Are you and Bai Qingli so close that you can't even accept other people's gifts?" Gu Xiaobei was interrupted by Shangguan Shijin before he could say his refusal. Shangguan Shijin looked at her with a half-smile and said .

"What nonsense are you talking about? I'll be annoyed if you say that." Gu Xiaobei frowned and stared at Shangguan Shijin angrily. Even if she really had something to do with Bai Qingli, he shouldn't have said that.

Shangguan Shijin suppressed the smile on his face, and said seriously: "I have wanted to give you this earring for a long time, but you refused to accept it last time. Now that we have cooperated for so long, it is normal for me to give you some gifts." , I hope you can accept it."

Gu Xiaobei thought for a while, then smiled and accepted the earring: "Then I'd rather be respectful than obedient, thank you for your gift!" Since Shangguan Shijin gave her a gift in the name of cooperation, it would be too unreasonable for her to refuse , and she will continue to cooperate in the future, she doesn't want to have too much gap with him.

"These earrings fit your skin very well. You can wear them when you enter the city tomorrow, so that I can see if my vision is correct." Shangguan Shijin immediately smiled and said jokingly.

"How can Mr. Shangguan have bad eyesight? This earring is so beautiful, you can see it with the naked eye. If it is not good-looking, it is because I am not worthy of this earring, and it is definitely not the reason for this earring." Gu Xiaobei stretched out She reached out and touched the earring in her hand, feeling a little happy in her heart, she really liked this earring, when she entered the jewelry store, she fell in love with it at first sight.

"These things are all dead things. No matter how beautiful they are, they have no spirituality. Only when people wear them can their value be reflected. There is no reason why no one is not worthy of dead things." Shangguan Shijin originally wanted to praise Gu Xiaobei, But it stopped.

At this time, a servant of Shangguan Shijin came in from the outer robe of the gate, blessed Shangguan Shijin, and respectfully said: "My lord, there is a girl looking for you outside, Miss Zichai is looking for you!"

Shangguan Shijin nodded: "Go out first and let her wait for a while, I'll be out right away."

"Yes!" The boy replied and ran out immediately.

"Zi Chai is my nanny's eldest daughter, the one I sent back today." Shangguan Shijin explained to Gu Xiaobei with a smile.

"Yeah." Gu Xiaobei nodded, not very interested, she didn't want to know so much about things that had nothing to do with her.

Gu Datian came in with a shovel shoveling a very hot brazier, smiled and said to Shangguan Shijin: "Young Master Shangguan, you haven't been here for a long time, let's stay and have a meal together today."

"Brother Gu, thank you for your hospitality, but I can't stay for dinner today, I have to rush back to the city now." Shangguan Shijin said with a smile.

"Oh, well, I heard that you have a cooperation with our restaurant, and you will often come to play in the future. Although the village is not as lively as the city, it is better than the cleanliness. The countryside in the wild also has its own fun." Gu Datian didn't force it either. Stay, and invite him to come often with a smile.

"Okay, I also like the clean environment in the village, and I will definitely come here to play often in the future. Brother Gu, don't think I come too often." Shangguan Shijin saw Gu Datian's enthusiasm, and his heart was warm, and said The words are also a lot closer.

"We don't have to wait too long. Our family will move into a new house the day after tomorrow, and we will invite you to drink. If Mr. Shangguan is free, come and have fun with us. We won't post any more posts. We don't have the habit of posting posts in our village. Just let me know." Gu Xiaobei said with a smile.

"Yes, Xiaobei didn't tell me, I would have forgotten, Mr. Shangguan, you must come!" Gu Datian smiled beamingly.
