The Divine Doctor And A Common Farmer-Chapter 1491 - 1575: A Bigger Gamble Than Last Time

Chapter 1491: Chapter 1575: A Bigger Gamble Than Last Time
Who is Third Master Liang? He is the mastermind behind the Huizi Store and was originally an actor, yet he created his empire from scratch, a true legend!
Since Third Master started his business, he has encountered setbacks and settled grudges, but all those who opposed him were quietly eradicated, and over time he not only became known as the God of Wealth but also earned a reputation for ruthlessness.
Zhu De greatly fears this Third Master Liang, mainly because his long-standing authority is intimidating, and she has heard numerous stories about him. However, when she considers the backing of her Zhu family, her confidence steadies.
In terms of the social hierarchy, merchants are placed at the bottom. In essence, no matter how vast the family business, they are still commoners, so what is there to fear?
"So it’s Third Master Liang. Zhu De has long admired your reputation! But the way you’re acting so arrogantly today, it makes Zhu want to laugh a little. Doing business is not something only you, Third Master Liang, can profit from. Zhu may not be as talented, but I also wish to open an inn. Your inn’s branch manager, Shopkeeper Yang, falsely accuses me, Zhu De, of stealing the ’Food As Heaven’ recipes, which negatively impacts my reputation. Even if Third Master wishes to show power, you can’t ignore right and wrong, lest you be criticized."
Shujun immediately chuckled: "You’re quite interesting. The twists and turns of the matter are already clear. How can you argue? Besides, don’t think that I don’t know your little schemes. You’re just a dog who has found a good master, and now your tail is wagging proudly. But remember, there’s always someone better than you, lest you end up not knowing how you meet your end."
This was a blatant threat. Zhu De, in anger, was about to speak again, but a demure girl in purple suddenly smiled and said: "No need to argue further. Regarding the ’Food As Heaven’ recipes, you claim to have tasted countless delicacies and claim them as your own. Sister Yang was annoyed and wants a contest, and the stake is the ’Food As Heaven’ recipes."
"But today I want to add a wager. The contest is acceptable, but the stakes must be raised!"
"You have already purchased a property, renovated and ready to open. Use that as sole collateral. If my Huizi Store loses, the property deed goes to me. If you win, the ’Food As Heaven’ branch in Nanling will be handed over to you!"
Zhu De’s eyes flashed, "This depends on Third Master Liang’s decision." Implying that Dong Huiying cannot make this call.
Dong Huiying smiled.
Shujun said: "She is the Madam of our Liang Family and can manage our assets. Our Madam’s word is as good as gold. You need not fear our Huizi Store reneging if we lose."
"Well then, Zhu graciously accepts the offer!"
A glint of satisfaction flickered in Zhu De’s eyes as if she already had this competition in the bag. An opportunity offered on a silver platter, why not seize it, especially when it’s the Huizi Store proposing, not Zhu De pressing them.
"Then let’s prepare!"
Sister Yang was anxious about such a massive wager between Third Master and his wife, but trusting in Third Master, she dared not voice her concerns. Yet she remained uneasy inside.
A long table was set up outside, and the news of Zhu De’s contest had already spread far and wide, so as soon as the spectacle was ready, many people came to witness it.
Dong Huiying tied a white apron around her waist. Her slender waist was already tiny, and with the apron around it, it seemed even more delicate and fragile. While others may not have sensed anything, the two brothers from the Liang family felt a tightening in their lower abdomen, and their swallowing even quickened a bit.
