Chapter 42 Mr. Gao

"I, I didn't mean it." Chen Zhi's face suddenly became embarrassed, and he hurriedly used both hands to pull Xu Shuhe up, "Are you okay?"

Xu Shuhe limped to a stop, "Something's wrong. I'm afraid I'm going to limp."

"Ah? Then I'll carry you to the clinic. How could it be so serious? I really didn't mean it." Chen Zhi didn't think she was joking and looked a little flustered.

His naive look of believing it made Xu Shuhe want to laugh. But at this moment, a young man in tight clothes and with a heroic appearance ran over and saluted to the two of them with an apologetic look on his face.

"I'm so sorry. The horse got frightened for some reason and bumped into you two. Are you hurt? There's a clinic nearby. I'll take you two there. I'll take care of any problems you have!"

While the young man was talking to them, two skilled men dressed as guards had already tamed the mad horse.

Seeing that the other party was sincere and polite, Chen Zhi also responded politely.

"I'm fine, but my wife fell when she was trying to avoid me, and she seems to be injured."

"The young lady said he fell and broke his leg!" Xinyue, who was standing behind, added loudly.

She felt sorry for Xu Shuhe from the bottom of her heart, so she was very angry at the man riding the horse. Therefore, even though she knew that Xu Shuhe was probably teasing Chen Zhi just now, she still wanted to scare the man riding the horse.

Hearing this, the young man immediately looked apologetic.

"I'm so sorry it's so serious. I remember there's a clinic not far ahead. Let's go see the doctor."

Seeing that this group of people took it seriously, Xu Shuhe waved his hands hurriedly.

"No, no, it should be just a scratch on my knee, nothing serious, I can walk on my own after a rest."

Chen Zhi was worried that she was just being stubborn, "You should go and have a look, otherwise I will be worried. Come, I will support you."

He said this, and the young man next to him nodded.

Helpless, Xu Shuhe had to agree to go to the clinic for a check-up.

To be honest, if she was really a girl who grew up pampered in this era, she would definitely treat a small skin break carefully, but she is not like that. She has suffered so much at work that she even fell off a shared bicycle on the road on a rainy day.

Although this little injury hurts, I really don’t take it seriously.

However, the dress was too long and her knees still felt a little painful when she walked, so Xu Shuhe took small steps, as if she was having difficulty walking.

The young man looked at her and suggested, "I see that Madam seems to be in great pain. If it is inconvenient for her to walk, why don't you wait for a while and I will ask someone to drive the carriage over to take Madam there?"

"No need to be so troublesome, I can walk." Xu Shuhe quickly refused.

At this time, Chen Zhi thought for a moment, "Shall I carry you?"

"Ah?" Xu Shuhe looked down at her leg and thought to herself that her leg was just skinned, not broken, right?

Why are two people making such a big fuss?

However, the way she looked at her legs had a different meaning in Chen Zhi's eyes.

This dress is not convenient to carry.

So Chen Zhi immediately changed his words, "Just hold it."

As he spoke, he no longer asked for Xu Shuhe's opinion and reached out to pick the person up horizontally.

Xu Shuhe had no time to react and his body was lifted into the air. He could only instinctively put his hands on Chen Zhi's shoulders to ensure his own safety.

By the time she reacted, Chen Zhi had already started walking with big strides.

Well, it’s really powerful.

At this point, Xu Shuhe could only lower her head silently and let Chen Zhi carry her to the clinic.

What else can I do?
She was picked up and struggled for a while. If you didn't know better, you would think Chen Zhi was raping a woman in the street.

Little did they know that the scene in which Xu Shuhe forcibly abducted the girl in his heart saw a completely different scene in the eyes of Xinyue and Meixiang behind them.

The two girls held each other's hands, their eyes sparkling with stars, their mouths almost stretched to their ears. The servant Zhang Ping expressed his confusion, saying that the young master was hugging the young mistress, so how could the two girls be happier than the young mistress?

I went to the clinic and found that the injury was not serious, just some scrapes on both knees. It was fine after some medicine.

However, the cost of the medicine was not cheap, because the young man also bought a good scar removal ointment.

Women nowadays attach great importance to these little things and try their best not to have scars on their bodies, especially those from well-off families, who care even more about it.

Judging from the young man's clothes, he came from a wealthy family. His speech and behavior were also well-mannered. He was obviously not an ordinary person, so after treating his wound, Xu Shuhe took the initiative to talk to him.

"Young Master doesn't seem to be from here?"

"How do you know, madam?" the young man asked in surprise.

Xu Shuhe smiled and said, "My family is in the cloth and garment business. Your clothes don't look like the popular styles in Qizhou City nowadays, and your accent is a little different from ours."

"Madam, you are really thoughtful. I am not from here. I came from the capital. My family also does business. I came to Qizhou to see if there are any new development opportunities." The young man said, and bowed to the two people. "My last name is Gao, Gao Yuci. May I know your last names?"

Chen Zhi returned the greeting, "Mr. Gao, you are too polite. I am Chen Zhi, and this is my wife, her last name is Xu."

"It turns out to be Mr. Chen and Mrs. Chen. I have made note of this. If I really do business in Qizhou City in the future, I will definitely visit them." Gao Yuci said with a smile.

At this time, Xu Shuhe immediately spoke up, "Mr. Gao, how long will you stay in Qizhou City? My wife and I have a shop that will be opened in ten days. If you are free, please come and give us some advice."

Gao Yuci didn't expect to receive this invitation. He was stunned for a moment before nodding with a smile, "Of course, of course!"

Finally, they exchanged a few polite words before parting.

Thinking of Xu Shuhe's leg injury, Chen Zhi asked Zhang Ping to call a carriage. The two of them happened to have a shop nearby, so they went in to sit down and take a look.

"Why did you invite Mr. Gao? We are not familiar with him." Chen Zhi asked puzzled.

Xu Shuhe sat down on the chair. "People are not born familiar with each other. How can they become familiar with each other if they don't take the initiative to socialize? And you can see that Mr. Gao has an extraordinary temperament and is well dressed. Since he said that his family is also in business, they must be a wealthy family. If we can take this opportunity to really establish business dealings with him, it will naturally be beneficial to us."

After she explained this, Chen Zhi understood.

Sit down next to him and then laugh.

"You really are always thinking about business. Just now I only remembered that you were injured and didn't think about anything else."

"Of course. Doing business is about seizing every opportunity." Xu Shuhe raised his eyebrows.

At the same time, I secretly thought to myself, I am doing this to complete the task as soon as possible.

While resting in the shop for a while, Zhang Ping brought the carriage over.

Chen Zhi stood up and said, "You were injured today, so go back and rest. Leave the store's affairs to me. As long as you trust me, it'll be fine."

After he said that, Xu Shuhe thought that he should be given more opportunities to practice, so he nodded.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work today." Xu Shuhe stood up.

Holding Xinyue's hand, he prepared to go out.

Chen Zhi looked at her, his heart moved unconsciously, and then he blurted out, "Let me carry you to the car."

"No, I can walk."

Xu Shuhe was waving his hands when he flew into the air again.

Well, we can't let her finish her words. She has a lot of strength but has nowhere to use it. She gets picked up at every turn.

After sending the person onto the carriage and watching it leave, Chen Zhi turned around and went back to the store.

Zhang Ping followed behind and muttered, "Young Madam's leg injury isn't serious, is it?"

"Of course it still hurts. You should walk less." Chen Zhi said lightly.

　Zhang Ping: Why do you hug me?
　　Chen Zhi: You don’t understand
