Chapter 41 Enemies Meet Again! Revenge!
"This...is this Young Master Luo?!"
At this moment, a middle-aged man walked out, looking at Su Luo with a smile on his face.
Tan Xing immediately bowed deeply and said, "Manager Cui, this is Young Master Luo. I was just about to invite him in to see you."
Manager Cui shook his head and said, "Tan Xing, this is because you're being unreasonable!"
"How could I possibly allow someone of Young Master Luo's status to condescend to see me? I must take the initiative to see him!"
Tan Xing quickly smiled apologetically, "Yes, yes..."
Immediately, he looked at Su Luo and said, "Young Master Luo, this is Steward Cui of our Su family, who is in charge of all affairs of the major Sinan trading companies in Linshui County."
"Tomorrow is the birthday of our Marquis's eldest son, so Steward Cui specially came to Yunhai Town ahead of time to make arrangements..."
"Perfect timing, I can also talk to you about Snowflake Salt, Young Master Luo."
After Tan Xing finished his introduction, Steward Cui smiled and said, "Young Master Luo, this way please. Let's go inside and have a proper discussion about the Snowflake Salt."
Su Luo glanced at Steward Cui, smiled, and nodded: "Okay!"
No one saw the coldness hidden deep in Su Luo's eyes.
Although the important figure from the Su family was not the Marquis of Sinan, he was not unfamiliar with this Steward Cui.
In the original owner's memory, she had seen this Steward Cui from afar.
At that time, Steward Cui was standing next to the First Madam, seemingly reporting something.
However, at that time, Steward Cui was too lazy to even glance at Su Luo, this illegitimate son. Later, when he learned of the original owner's identity, he even had his servants beat Su Luo up in the Su family.
Now that they've met again, Steward Cui didn't even recognize Su Luo.
Even now, for the sake of that snowflake salt, they're putting on a warm and generous act.
This shows just how cheap a bastard like Su Luo was in her heart!
"Don't you recognize me?"
"That's perfect... I can give you a surprise!"
A cold glint flashed in Su Luo's eyes, and then he strode into the private room of the Sinan Trading Company where they discussed matters.
Zhang Daqiang followed behind him, protecting him.
As soon as he sat down, Manager Cui looked at Su Luo, hesitated for a moment, and said, "This young master Luo... he looks very familiar!"
Have we met before?
Su Luo calmly replied, "Really? I don't recall it. Could it be that Steward Cui once went to the South?"
Manager Cui shook his head. "No, perhaps I misread it!"
He didn't take it seriously, staring intently at Su Luo, and went straight to the point: "Young Master Luo, can you really produce two thousand catties of snowflake salt?"
Two thousand catties?
Wasn't it five thousand catties?!
A look of doubt flashed in Su Luo's eyes, then she looked up at Tan Xing, whose face was stiff, and immediately understood.
A hint of amusement crept onto his face. It seemed that the Sinan Trading Company wasn't a monolithic entity after all!
This Tan Xing is incredibly audacious; he actually dared to accept such a kickback!
However, he didn't expose Tan Xing's lie, and nodded: "That's right, I can produce two thousand catties of snowflake salt!"
Tan Xing breathed a sigh of relief, and Steward Cui's smile became even brighter.
Su Luo looked at him and smiled faintly: "However, if your company wants to see the goods, shouldn't you let me see the money first?"
"of course!"
Seeing Su Luo's confident demeanor, Manager Cui became slightly excited and ordered, "Someone, bring out the silver notes that our company has prepared..."
Su Luo frowned and interrupted him: "Manager Cui, what I talked about with Manager Tan wasn't silver notes!"
Manager Cui smiled warmly and said, "Young Master Luo, of course I know about the terms you discussed with Tan Xing!"
"However, Young Master Luo, you may not know this, but there are barbarian invasions and banditry everywhere in Linshui County. If it's all in cash, I'm worried that Young Master Luo won't be able to take it with him!"
"Therefore, we have prepared silver notes specifically for Young Master Luo. Rest assured, these are royal silver notes, which can be exchanged at any merchant house in the Great Xia!"
Upon hearing this, Su Luo gave Steward Cui a deep look, then got up and left.
No sloppiness!
Manager Cui's expression froze slightly, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, but he still stood up and stopped Su Luo with a smile: "Young Master Luo, why bother?"
"If there's anything you're not satisfied with, just say so. There's no need to be in such a hurry!"
Su Luo said expressionlessly, "I have a contract with Manager Tan of your company, stipulating that all transactions will be settled in cash!"
"Among them, I gave him three hundred catties of snowflake salt and also took one thousand taels of deposit!"
"Now that cash has been converted into banknotes, why should I continue negotiating with you?"
“I don’t want the 300 catties of snowflake salt back, but I also won’t give you the deposit back.”
Manager Cui gave a forced smile and quickly said, "Young Master Luo, you misunderstand. I was just trying to make things convenient for you. Since you don't want silver notes, I'll give you cash..."
Su Luo raised his hand, a half-smile on his face, and stopped him: "Just for our convenience? Just because it's convenient for us, you can break the rules at will?"
"Sorry, I don't do business with people like you!"
"If you still want to continue the transaction, please have Manager Tan and I discuss it... I don't care if you are an external or internal manager of the Su family. In short, those who break the rules are like pigs and dogs in my eyes!"
"You're not qualified to do business with me!"
Upon hearing this, Manager Cui's expression froze instantly, and he almost cursed, "You!"
As the steward of the Su family of the Marquis of Sinan, he held a very high position and was always treated with great respect wherever he went!
Where have I ever been treated like this?! I was even insulted and called like a pig or a dog!
For a moment, Manager Cui almost overturned the table, but he held back when he thought of those thousands of kilograms of snowflake salt!
“Young Master Luo has misunderstood me. Very well, since Young Master Luo has put it that way, I will have Tan Xing have a proper talk with Young Master Luo…”
He forced a smile and gestured for Tan Xing behind him to sit down.
Su Luo looked at him and said, "But looking at you makes me feel bad!"
"How can you talk business when you're in a bad mood?!"
Upon hearing this, Steward Cui's face turned even more ashen. Finally, he practically spat out each word: "Fine!"
"Since Young Master Luo has said so, I will take my leave now, so that you and Tan Xing can have a proper talk..."
With that, Steward Cui left the room. The moment he closed the door, his face contorted with rage, and he gritted his teeth!
He glanced around and immediately dozens of figures silently approached, ready to rush into the room at any moment!
What a load of bullshit, Young Master Luo!
How dare you insult me?!
When the snowflake salt arrives, I'll make him kneel down and apologize to me immediately!
Manager Cui had made up his mind and strode away, ready to take action against Su Luo at any moment!
At that moment, Tan Xing, who was inside the room, excitedly cupped his hands towards Su Luo, thanking Su Luo for not betraying him.
"Young Master Luo, thank you so much for saving me..."
"Otherwise, I fear I would face certain death this time!"
Su Luo said calmly, "Manager Tan, I need someone who respects the rules!"
"Of course, I have the cash ready!"
Tan Xing nodded knowingly and had someone bring in several boxes. When they were opened, they were dazzlingly silvery.
Inside were rows and rows of very heavy silver ingots.
Nine thousand taels of silver!
He earned more money than the eldest son of the Su family in his fiefdom over two years!
At this moment, Tan Xing hesitated for a moment, then suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Young Master Luo, you have offended Steward Cui, and he is probably... going to cause you trouble!"
"Perhaps, when he sees the snowflake salt, he might make a move against you!"
