Chapter 529: The so-called strength in numbers

Early the next morning, Tang Yue waits outside the side courtyard.

When Li Chen walks out of the room feeling refreshed, Tang Yue hurries to greet him, his face full of smiles: "Did Young Master Li rest well last night?"

Although Tang Yue really wants to ask if Li Chen is satisfied, he doesn't dare open his mouth, as it would make him look like he's specifically begging for a reward, so he simply settles for the next best thing and asks if Li Chen rested well.

Speaking is an art; although the meaning of these two sentences is the same, their nature is vastly different!

"You all did well; continue to keep it up." Li Chen smiles and nods slightly. He has to admit that the Tang family can give him new experiences every time, which makes him quite satisfied.

Madame Zhang Liu Liu Shi was indeed drunk last night, but Cui Yuniang was half-drunk and half-awake, which was also not bad.

"I have already ordered the servants to prepare morning tea; I wonder if you would do me the honor of finishing morning tea before leaving?" Tang Yue rubs his hands together secretly.

"No need." Li Chen waves his hand lightly. There are still some matters in the Imperial court that require him to show his face, so he naturally won't stay here long.

Seeing Li Chen about to leave, Tang Yue becomes anxious.

Having just mixed into the upper-class circles, he has received some news that something called a "mobile phone" will be released soon.

It is said that this is something that can bless the entire Tian Ce Empire, and perhaps even the entire continent.

If the Tang family can get a piece of the pie, it will be enough for them to develop and grow in the Imperial Capital, and even leap to become a commercial giant. Right now, Li Chen is clearly satisfied; if he misses this village, there won't be this shop!

Tang Yue hurriedly rubs his hands and speaks nervously: "Young Master Li, I heard that the thing called a mobile phone recently developed by the Ministry of Works will be seeking investment soon; would you please..."

Tang Yue's words at the end sound exactly like a child making an unreasonable request to a parent.

"You want to be an agent, right?" Even if Li Chen just says it casually, that invisible aura of a superior makes him almost stop breathing.

"I don't know if our Tang family has this qualification." Tang Yue says ingratiatingly.

After all, since he made Li Chen feel good, he can indeed speak up.

"Contact the Wanbao Pavilion and say it's my intention." Li Chen nods slightly. If mobile phone retail is to cover the whole country, it must seek investment. Many merchant families want a piece of the pie, so giving the Tang family some is fine.

As the words fall, Li Chen has already taken steps to walk out of the courtyard.

Having received a definite answer, Tang Yue is so happy he almost jumps up, hurriedly following Li Chen's steps to respectfully send him out of the Tang residence.

A night has passed, and those who sought have all obtained what they wanted.

The Tang family has obtained an opportunity to soar, and Master Zhang and Liu Laoban have successfully boarded the Tang family's big ship.

Only, afterwards, when Madame Zhang Liu Liu Shi and Cui Yuniang look at their husbands, their gazes become evasive.

Tang family garden.

A breeze blows gently, carrying the bursts of fragrance from the late lotus flowers that rise from the mud without being stained. Three graceful figures sit opposite each other, their clothes fluttering, adding a bit of comfort and immortal charm.

"Third Lady, do you still have the face to invite us out?" Cui Yuniang stares at Liu Yuran in front of her, gritting her teeth.

No one knows better than her, who didn't sleep all night, what happened that night.

Even today, when she looks at Liu Laoban, her eyes involuntarily dodge, and she even repeatedly refuses Liu Laoban's requests to share a bed.

If Liu Laoban weren't busy with the Tang family's business cooperation recently and didn't have much leisure time, she wouldn't know what to do.

Liu Yuran's smile is brilliant, as if she didn't hear Cui Yuniang's words, only asking in return: "What do you think of Young Master Li?" ===== CHAPTER 530 =====
