Qiu Lingpi raised his eyebrows and after pondering for a while, he decided to walk up to Song Dabao. After cupping his hands at him, he politely asked, "I am Shopkeeper Pu Zi, what can I do for you?"

Song Dabao quickly smiled, and when he introduced himself, his face revealed a proud expression, "Shopkeeper Qiu, right? I am Song Dabao, an Elementary Scholar from Yangdu Village. "

He felt that as an Elementary Scholar, he should be able to earn the respect of the other party.

However, the smile on Qiu Lingpi's face did not change. He only replied formally, "So you're a scholar. You're looking for me, but what are you going to buy in the store? Tomorrow, there will be some activities in the shop and all the furniture will be sold at a 10% discount.

This discount was taught to him by Song Xiangsi. He would not lose out no matter how much it was reduced, but it gave the customer a feeling that he had taken advantage of her and he naturally sold it as well.

Song Dabao twitched his mouth. He wasn't here to buy furniture today, and he didn't have that much money.

The three silver Song Xiangsi gave him the last time had long since been taken away for drinking and drinking.

Thinking of this, Song Dabao could not help but feel resentment in his heart. No matter what, he was the little girl's father, and he earned a lot of money, but in the end, he just paid three taels of silver and sent him away.

Song Dabao was furious, but his expression did not look good. He added with a cold face, "I'm Song Xiangsi's father. I've come to find you today to talk about her."

Upon hearing that it was Song Xiangsi's father, Qiu Lingpi's attitude was much better. He immediately chuckled, "So it's the father of the Lovesick girl. What brings you here today?"

As he spoke, he led his men into the house and got the waiter to pour some tea for him.

Da Bao felt that the other party respected him as an Elementary Scholar, so he became even more proud of himself. He raised his chin high and led the way with his hands behind his back.

The smile on Qiu Lingpi's face froze slightly, but when he thought of how he was Song Xiangsi's father, he did not say anything else and just followed him in silently. He continued smiling and poured a cup of tea for the waiter after the tea was served.

"You just said you had something to tell me about the lovesick girl, but what is it?"

Song Dabao took the tea slowly and took a shallow sip. He looked left and right, then went over mysteriously and muttered to himself: "Let me tell you, Lovesick has learnt your techniques here and is planning to open her own shop outside. Do you know?"

He felt that Song Xiangsi did not have much ability. The reason why she was able to design drawings for the store was definitely because she had learned them here. Now that she was going to work alone, the boss would definitely not agree to it.

Qiu Lingzhi frowned. "Oh?" "Really?"

Song Dabao saw that Han Li's expression was bad and felt joy in his heart. He nodded his head and thought to himself, "If I don't help your only backer, then wouldn't you obediently deliver the money to me?"

"It's not true. I personally went to check on it myself. The house has been being renovated these few days." he continued.

Qiu Lingpi nodded and took a sip of tea, a glint flashing across his eyes.

If Song Xiangsi had really gone out to do her own work, it was very likely that she would have left his design work behind. Not only that, with that girl's intellect, if she were to open a shop, the business of his furniture shop would be greatly reduced.

This was not a good thing for him!

He narrowed his eyes and looked at Song Dabao, his gaze carrying a sense of scrutiny, "If this lass really went out to work alone, then she would definitely be able to earn a lot of money. As his father, then you would definitely be able to obtain a lot of benefits too, why did you tell me that?"

Song Dabao choked, he really did not expect the shopkeeper to ask this question. In his experience, once the storekeeper heard that the students in the shop had learned the skills, they actually had to take the responsibility and work by themselves. He would definitely be angry to the point of stopping them, so how could he be as calm as Qiu Lingpi.

However, he still had to answer the question. He rolled his eyes and an idea flashed through his mind. He sighed and looked as if he was heartbroken.

"I... I have no other choice. My own daughter, of course I want her to be good, but I am not an ordinary ignorant villager, I am someone who has read many books. How can I watch my own daughter do such an ungrateful thing? "

Qiu Lingpi raised his eyebrows and took another sip of tea before smiling, "Uncle is indeed a man of honor. He is indeed a scholar."

Saying that, he sighed as well, with a helpless expression. "But the Lovesick girl didn't sign an indenture contract with my family. If she really does go out to open a shop, then I can't stop her."

He could not watch as Song Xiangsi became rich. When the time came, he would kick their family out, but when he became anxious, he would yell out, "It's her boss, she even learned your family's design. If she goes out and does it alone, it's clear that she's going against you!"

Qiu Lingpi did not expect him to be so agitated and was slightly taken aback. "Why is Uncle so agitated?"

He didn't remember saying anything important, did he? Could it be that there was another secret behind this? His mind slightly moved and he started to suspect Song Dabao's motives for this trip.

Song Dabao realized that he had lost control of his emotions and lost control of himself for a moment. He held his fist to his lips and coughed, then mumbled, "I just... "I really hate myself for failing to live up to my expectations. My daughter has grown up, and is now determined to go out to do business, yet she still dares to do such ungrateful things. I feel so heartbroken that I can't take care of it."

As he spoke, he waved his sleeves and wiped away the tears that did not exist.

Qiu Lingpi nodded. "How about this, I'll send someone to follow you. You bring him to the shop and take a look. If it's really as you say, I'll think of something."

Song Dabao hurriedly nodded, "Alright, alright, alright. That store is still being renovated. That girl goes to the store every day. I'll take you to see it now."

As he spoke, he was about to step forward and pull on Qiu Lingpi's sleeve.

Qiu Lingpi waved his hand. "I'm not going. If the lovesick girl finds out that you brought someone to investigate, he'll definitely be unhappy. I'm doing this for your own good."

He pondered for a moment, then went out to find a newly hired apprentice. He said to Song Dabao, "I'll send a new face to follow you. I'll just treat it as wandering around nearby and not arousing any suspicion."

Song Dabao chuckled, praising him for his consideration. He quickly led the others to take a look, wondering if he could ask Qiu Lingzhi for some reward later.

With great familiarity, he led the group to ride around Song Xiangsi's shop. Pointing at the workers who were renovating the shop, he whispered a few words to them before leading them back to the furniture shop.
