Chapter 949 White Lotus
"Of course what I said is true. You are unique and she can't compare to you." Gu Yao tapped her forehead.
"When other people say this, I think it's a compliment, just for the sake of face, but when Sister Gu says this, I take it seriously," said Tan Xiaomei with a smile.
I confirmed tomorrow's time with Gu Yao, and also told her the people who were coming, as well as the merchants who had sent in their invitations in advance and who they were.
She played with Gu Yao for a while and then left.
After arriving home, I was called to the study.
"I will preside over the meeting tomorrow. You and Miss Gu just stay behind the screen. It is not convenient for the woman to come out, so you can ask her to send a representative to talk to people." Father Tan looked at his daughter.
Business is business, it’s better to make things clear.
"I have told her about this matter. Tomorrow morning, Sister Gu will come in person and will also ask someone to help with the negotiations. Besides, she is just a tool. Our Tan family has the final say. All the business in Beijing belongs to our Tan family. What are we afraid of!" Tan Xiaomei felt that the business in Beijing was better than that of several other cities.
The profits from the workshop also belong to her, and she feels happy just thinking about it.
Father Tan raised his eyebrows: "In Beijing, our Tan family is her backer. Does she have any other capable people in her hands?"
"Probably not. The people she has are all bought from pawnshops. How can they be capable? They are all servants. But Sister Gu has not been in the capital for long, and she has achieved what she has now. She is very capable. If it were me, I would not be so capable, and I did not help her at all. It is really frustrating to compare myself with others!"
Tan Xiaomei couldn't help but sigh.
"You little girl, you still know that your father and I can tolerate Miss Gu and let her succeed because I see that you can learn something from her. People who have no ability will be eaten up completely if they try to make a living in the capital, and not even a bone will be left." Father Tan said with a smile.
"Dad, I know you are doing this for my own good. No matter what your reasons are, she is my savior, and this will never change. No matter what happens in the future, as long as I am alive, you can't do anything bad to her." Tan Xiaomei knew that her father had not only been ruthless to get to where he is today, but he still had some conscience.
"Do I need to tell you that? You are such a heartless person." Father Tan said with a smile.

Gu Yao was sitting in the flower hall drinking tea, thinking of what Tan Xiaomei said, that tomorrow she would arrange for someone to replace her and show up in front of everyone.
Let Uncle Fan go?
He is old, and he can do well in a small workshop, but facing so many big bosses and a group of smart people, he probably can't yell at them.
After returning home, Gu Yao thought about it and decided that Xiao Zhen was the most suitable person. He always had a cold face and just sat there without saying anything. He looked like someone who was not someone he was going to mess with.
That's enough.
With the help of the Tan family, there will be absolutely no problems throughout the entire process.
She shouted outside: "Xiao Zhen."
In a few moments, Xiao Zhen arrived at the room.
"Miss, please tell me what I want to say." Xiao Zhen bowed neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Tomorrow I have to go to the Tan family to negotiate with a group of old guys. The Tan family sent a message that they want someone to be in front of the stage. I am a woman, and it is not convenient for me to discuss things with a group of men. Can you help me keep an eye on them?" Gu Yao said with a smile.
"The bonus is ten taels of silver." Gu Yao said with a smile.
"No need for money, I'll go. This is what I should do." Xiao Zhen's expression was normal, still that icy face.
"Is it not enough that I am happy to give it to you, your lady? Take it." Gu Yao stuffed the purse directly into Xiao Zhen's arms.
Xiao Zhen had no choice but to accept it.
Gu Yao picked up the content of the negotiation and the quotation from the table.
He handed it to Xiao Zhen: "Remember it and destroy it later."
Xiao Zhen took a quick glance and memorized the contents.
He held it in his hand and used his internal force to crush the paper into pieces.
Gu Yao was stunned when she saw this.
-
The next morning, at dawn, Gu Yao got up, had breakfast, and went straight to the Tan family.
It was still early, and Gu Yao was brought to Tan Xiaomei's yard by a maid.
Before anyone arrived, a loud noise was heard.
"Sister, you have so many new clothes, what's wrong with using this cloth to make a set of clothes for me. Wuuuu... You can't bully me just because you are the eldest daughter in the family!" A little girl of about twelve or thirteen began to sob.
"Tan Yuyan, how can you be so shameless? This is what my father bought for me. If you want it, I will give it to you. You, a concubine's daughter, are trying to ride on me, a legitimate daughter? Are you trying to rob me?" Tan Xiaomei would avoid seeing her father's concubines' children if she could. She would be unhappy when they met.
There is such an important thing to do today, but this girl actually came to ask for cloth early in the morning. It's really depressing.
"Sister, I didn't mean it. My clothes are really too worn out. I just thought that since you have so many good things, it's okay to give some to me, right?" She now wanted her elder sister to die sooner.
In this way, she would be the only daughter of the Tan family, and all the good things in the Tan family would belong to her.
Gu Yao walked into the yard with a smile: "It's so lively so early in the morning, this girl looks familiar!"
"How can I not look familiar? She's my half-sister. She came to me early in the morning to ask for cloth. This was carefully selected by my father to buy for me. How could I be willing to give it to her!" Tan Xiaomei did not shy away from Gu Yao.
Gu Yao had known about what happened in their backyard for a long time.
"Oh, so that's the case. The concubine's daughter's share wouldn't be deducted, otherwise why would she come to you to snatch the cloth!" Gu Yao said with a smile and walked up to Tan Xiaomei.
"Don't say that. My family has everything we need, except for this little thing. She wants to take my place as the legitimate daughter. Knowing that something big is happening at home today, she still makes trouble in the backyard. Humph, it's really infuriating." Tan Xiaomei looked at Tan Yuyan without a good look.
"It's unclear whether the child is legitimate or illegitimate. It seems like your aunt didn't teach her well. As her legitimate sister, why don't you just educate her on her behalf? We have so many things to do today. We can't waste time here." Gu Yao was speechless when she looked at Tan Yuyan.
I saw her at a banquet last time. She was wearing plain clothes and looked as if someone in her family had died. She looked very delicate and charming.
If the yard wasn't full of women that day, many men would have liked her.
Many men like this kind of white lotus.
"You, how could you be like this? You actually teamed up with my sister to bully me. Woohoo... I'm going to go find daddy to seek justice." Tan Yuyan covered her face and left the yard.
