Chapter 502: His Highness’ Plan
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
Helian Wei Wei observed the surroundings and noticed that none of the diners were locals, all of them were actually foreigners.
As they were having their meal, three to four men stepped into the restaurant after them. They wanted to smash down the restaurant in front of the waiter.
But the merchants had always believed in one principle, which was to avoid trouble if possible when they were away from home.
Even though they were so enraged that they wanted to teach him a lesson, they still had to finish the food. Otherwise, they would have spent the money to no purpose, it would be even more unworthy in that case.
“It’s totally a robbery to sell seafood this way!” somebody scolded in a low voice. “It’s exactly the same as what they have told me, I shouldn’t have come to this provincial capital!”
Helian Wei Wei rolled her eyes around and smiled, “Big Brother, you seem to know something?”
Seeing that they were also one of the victims, he forced a smile and said, “Not really, but I ran into a few business partners who wanted to get seafood from the provincial capital before I came. They warned me that it’s better for me not to come here as there are too many unspoken rules and traps in the provincial capital that people will surely get ripped off. But I called to mind that this is the coastal area that is nearest to the Capital, how far can they go in tricking people? I thought they would not have gone too far since it’s just a mountain away from the imperial palace. To our surprise, we were both just standing at the entrance looking at the sea creatures inside the fish tank, and suddenly we’re forced to order a lot of dishes, and all of them are so freaking expensive! As you can see, we are asked to pay more than 40 silver for these tiny prawns. We only brought a total of 100 silver but this meal has already cost us almost half of them! It’s ridiculous!”
“Is there no one up there who can control them?” Helian Wei Wei continued to ask.
The man shook his head and said, “How to take control of it? They must have someone supporting behind them if they dare to do business in such a method. I’ve heard some news about it before I came and thought I would not fall for the trap. I’m very careful in everything, asking for the price in advance for every item I want, but who knows that the food they served is totally different from what I’ve ordered.”
“Alright, just forget it. We can’t afford the seafood here. It’s about time for us to leave.” Another guy stood up, a dispirited look swept over his face.
The man looked at Helian Wei Wei and said, “Brother, we have to go. Just a piece of advice to you, young man, it’s better not to hang around in this provincial capital for too long and don’t get into conflict with them. I have seen people from the yamen who came here last time, they were very respectful to the boss of this restaurant. Perhaps everything happens because they are the ones who pull the wool over the eyes of the public, just leave before it’s too late...”
“That’s what it’s all about,” Helian Wei Wei said while playing with the teacup in her hand. “Big Brother, if you choose to trust me, just stay for two more days in any of the inns in the provincial capital. I guarantee you, you’ll be able to set up your seafood business within two days.”
The guy was dumbfounded in an instant as he heard Helian Wei Wei’s reply. “You...”
“Here’s 40 silver note.” Helian Wei Wei took out a piece of paper from her sleeve. “This silver note is more than enough for both of you to stay for two days in the provincial capital.”
The man’s eyes changed when he saw the marking on the note. “You... you... you are Wei Ze...”
Helian Wei Wei nodded with a gentle smile.
He suddenly felt that the note was so heavy, but as a merchant, what mattered to him the most was making money.
Almost everyone in the business world would know that rather than saying Wei Ze World was a successful business that could defeat most of the shops of martial practice, it was better to say that all of them would like to run Wei Ze World. Wei Ze World would appear at any place where there were crowds of people. Besides, people were crazy about their martial practice. No one could ever imagine how powerful they were to achieve such a level, not to say seeing the people who worked for them.
“Anyway, what are you responsible for in Wei Ze World?” The guy asked with his eyes beaming in light. He wanted to sit down and continue the conversation with Helian Wei Wei. “Can we see your boss?”
The other guy was also excited but he still had a sense of rationality. “He is way too young, how is it possible for him to meet the boss?”
“Touche.” The guy heaved a long sigh out of disappointment.
Helian Wei Wei touched the bridge of her nose. She could not really tell them that she was actually the boss.
“Since this young brother from Wei Ze World has given us his word, we’ll just stay.” The guy returned the note to Helian Wei Wei and continued, “But we don’t need this money. Being a businessman, we know that a fall into a pit is a gain in your wit. We’ll take it as a lesson today. But young brother, you still have to be careful when you handle things here.”
“Okay.” Helian Wei Wei said as she watched them leaving the restaurant. There was a hint of coldness in her eyes. “These people really know how to play with the rules.”
Helian Wei Wei actually would not be so enraged if it was some other time.
This time, it was all because of the reason that the waiter had hurt the feelings of Little Seven.
Little Seven is such a simple and innocent foodie. Even though he has perfectly inherited the maliciousness of the Royal Family, he is basically still a child.
It’s pretty disgusting to see the way these adults are playing with the rules. Now they are even trying to make money by using the Royal Family as an excuse, indicating that they are also seafood lovers.
Heh, do they really think that no one will dare to stop them?
“Inform Governor Chen and ask him to gather all the imperial officials in the provincial capital. Just tell him that there is a new imperial official taking up a post in the provincial capital.” Baili Jia Jue did not utter a word since the beginning. He put down the chopsticks, looking extraordinarily elegant in his movement. His gaze fell on the dignified round eyes of the little one as he asked, “How many times have I told you? What should you do when you’re bullied?”
“Beat the sh*t out of him!” Little Seventh Prince replied toughly.
Shadows trembled in surprise. It’s here again, Master’s wrong teaching method!
His Highness, please stop! If the Seventh Prince really goes and beats someone else because of you saying so, we are the one who will be punished by the Retired Emperor in the end!”
The sorrow of Shadows was too deep for tears. They looked at Baili Jia Jue, hoping that His Highness would show some mercy.
Unfortunately, they had underestimated the way Baili Jia Jue handling things.
“That’s only in the palace.” Baili Jia Jue took a sip of tea in a leisurely manner. “Now that we’re outside of the palace, you need to understand what is the most satisfying way to make those people who bully you to be in deep remorse. You can’t simply rely on violence to solve problems.”
“Third Brother, are you saying that it’s not enough to just beat them up, we must destroy them mentally as well, am I right?” the little one asked with beaming eyes.
The Shadows were at a loss for words as they heard it.
It’s not scary that the tiger will eat people, what’s scarier is that the tiger who eats people is scheming at the same time.
Is he going to train Little Seven to outdo him in being malicious?
It’s quite a pity for Little Seven to have a Third Brother who always entraps him.
These were the thoughts that came into Helian Wei Wei’s mind.
But Little Bald Head did not feel the same way as Helian Wei Wei, he said coolly, “I must crush him! How could he use the name of the Imperial Grandfather to do bad things here!?”
