Chapter 374 Come prepared
Hearing what King Min said, Manager Lin behind him was terrified, but he was, after all, a man who had seen the world.
He calmly stepped forward.
"Your Highness, although you are a prince, you should still be careful with your words. What makes you think our pill is fake?"
Although they didn't know where he had heard about the fake pills, Jubaolou couldn't admit it in front of everyone.
Once he admits it, not only will his position as manager be in jeopardy, but the reputation of Jubaolou will also be questioned by the world because of what happened today.
Not to mention who would dare to bid on anything at their auction house in the future!
"Hmph! Do you dare to verify the authenticity of this pill in person?"
To be honest, Prince Min was still a little uneasy.
After all, the matter of the fake pills was only mentioned by his subordinates, and he couldn't really say for sure whether the pills were real or fake.
But seeing the glint in Ye Qingyun's eyes just now, he felt that there must be something fishy going on.
Since the reputation of Jubaolou was at stake, Manager Lin could not afford to be careless.
"Your Highness, our Jubaolou has been in business for decades, and now our branches are all over the world."
"Today, in front of these distinguished guests, our Jubao Restaurant will certainly give you an explanation, and of course, also give everyone else an explanation!"
As he spoke, Manager Lin looked at Ye Qingyun standing to the side.
"Mr. Ye, don't you agree?"
Ye Qingyun listened, having already recovered from her earlier state of panic.
"Yes, how could our Jubaolou sell counterfeit goods? If you don't believe me, you can send someone to verify its authenticity!"
Having already spoken, Ye Qingyun's heart began to pound.
But if she didn't do this, how could she clear Jubaolou of suspicion of auctioning counterfeit goods?
Sending someone to verify the authenticity was merely an excuse for Ye Qingyun to buy time. The one who could truly save Jubaolou was probably the person sitting in room number 1.
Seeing this, Lingfu in room number 1D curled her lip.
"Young lady, Mr. Ye was so arrogant just now, yet he dares to have Prince Min send someone to test her pills. Isn't he afraid of being publicly humiliated?"
Wanqiu smiled and replied.
"Lingfu, didn't you see the way he looked at us just now? He probably thought our young lady would save her!"
As she spoke, Wanqiu looked at her mistress and said, "Miss, to be honest, he was so arrogant when he rejected us just now."
Will you save her?
Hearing the two maids' words, Wu Weiwei's lips curled into a smile. "What do you think? Should I save him?"
Seeing that the ball had been thrown back to them, Lingfu said with a troubled expression, "This... this servant doesn't know either!"
After all, the young lady and Jubaolou had business dealings, and they both knew that they were in the same boat, sharing both prosperity and adversity.
If Jubaolou doesn't do well today, their young lady's future business will likely be affected.
Wu Weiwei did not tell Lingfu and the others that Qingzhu was the young master behind Jubaolou.
Unexpectedly, she actually had this insight and awareness.
This surprised Wu Weiwei.
“Miss, I think you don’t need to save this Mr. Ye. After all, he was the one who lured us into the trap.”
Although we won't save him, we must save this Treasure Pavilion..."
Hearing Wanqiu's words, Wu Weiwei looked at her in confusion.
"how do I say this?"
“Young lady, you see, Mr. Ye’s decision to act on his own shows that he has a certain status in Jubaolou.”
If we help him today, he might target us in the future.
But if we let him suffer this loss today, he might be dismissed by the owner behind Jubaolou, and then he won't be able to harm us anymore..."
Wu Weiwei nodded.
"Then how can we save this Treasure Pavilion?"
Seeing that Wu Weiwei agreed with her, Wanqiu raised her eyebrows slightly and slowly revealed her thoughts.
"Actually, what I just said was contradictory. After all, not saving Mr. Ye is the same as not saving Jubaolou, but things aren't always absolute..."
According to Wanqiu's words, they had to make Ye Qingyun suffer this setback, but at the last moment they stepped in to help Jubaolou clarify the facts.
What Ye Qingyun is selling today is just a medicine developed by an apprentice at Yulu Pharmaceutical, not the Ansheng Baoji Pills that Yulu actually produces.
The apprentice had already been dismissed by Yu Lu.
Wu Weiwei listened, but shook her head.
"Wanqiu, your suggestion is good, but it's not applicable!"
If Yulu Pharmaceuticals were to come forward to clarify, who would believe them in the future?
Just then, a report came from outside.
"Master, Mr. Ye requests an audience!"
Lingfu's face immediately lit up with a smile.
Haha, looks like someone's come to plead for him.
Ye Qingyun felt awkward.
To be honest, if Manager Lin hadn't strongly persuaded her just now, she really wouldn't have wanted to ask Wu Weiwei for help.
King Kemin somehow learned of the news and believed that the pills she auctioned were fake, so he summoned all the imperial physicians.
If the imperial physicians were to verify whether it was genuine or not, what would happen?
Seeing that things were getting out of control, she had no choice but to swallow her anger for the sake of Jubaolou.
Even with a mask on, Wu Weiwei could still see the dissatisfaction in Ye Qingyun's eyes.
Even if she was unwilling, what could she do? Now she had to obediently come and beg him.
“Master Wu, I agree to the conditions your maid just mentioned on behalf of Jubaolou.”
"Look, how about giving me that pill that Miss Wanqiu just brought?"
"Puch!"
Lingfu, who was standing next to her, couldn't help but chuckle.
"Master Wu, what does your maid mean by this?"
Ye Qingyun glanced coldly at Ling Fu and questioned Wu Weiwei with dissatisfaction.
Looking at him, Wu Weiwei felt that Mr. Ye didn't seem like a man at all, but rather as petty and narrow-minded as a woman.
“Mr. Ye, I gave you a chance by having Wanqiu deliver the pills, but you kept refusing her.”
Therefore, the conditions we discussed earlier are invalid…
"Master Wu, what do you mean by that? Are you trying to take advantage of someone in distress?"
Knowing that Jubaolou is at a critical juncture, Wu Weiwei still said such a thing. Could it be that she wants to raise prices on the spot?
as predicted.
As soon as Ye Qingyun finished speaking, Wu Weiwei said, "That's not how it works."
I've changed my mind. I don't want your cut anymore, but you have to sign this agreement..."
Ling Fu then took out the agreement that Wu Weiwei had prepared earlier.
Ye Qingyun took it and saw that it was an agreement regarding Jubaolou's withdrawal from the Yulu Central City share.
"you……"
Ye Qingyun's eyes showed shock.
Wu Weiwei definitely came prepared.
If she signs this agreement today, it means that all of Jubaolou's previous investments will be wasted. Not only will they lose 1.6 million taels of silver, but they will also lose their right to purchase their products preferentially in the future.
Wow, she's really something!
He had only schemed against her once, but Wu Weiwei was ruthless enough to make Jubaolou withdraw from the operation of Yulu Central City.
