Chapter 97. Discovered, discovered. 
The next day, just as the shop had opened, Cheng Songer saw the woman from yesterday standing at the door, looking at her with a "kind" expression. 
"What is this?" Cheng Songer asked. 
The woman introduced herself, "Miss Cheng, my name is Xing Yu, I am Xing Boss's servant."
Xing Boss is the most famous wealthy merchant in Chengyang County. Not only does she have a luxurious mansion in the city, but also the largest restaurant, Juxian Restaurant, and the largest brothel, Yihonglou. Furthermore, she owns over a hundred acres of fertile land outside the city, and has dozens of servants and tenant farmers. 
Cheng Songer finally understood who was behind the person investigating the enemy's situation. She invited Xing Yu inside. 
"Did Xing Boss send you to find me?" Cheng Songer asked. 
Xing Yu sat across from Cheng Songer and said, "Miss Cheng, your business is flourishing, undoubtedly you are extremely intelligent. I won't beat around the bush. My master wants to win together with you."
"Win together?" Cheng Songer smiled. "How do we win together?"
Xing Yu was not polite and said directly, "There is a saying that a tall tree attracts the wind. Your business is too good, inevitably arousing jealousy from others. Look at the surrounding shops, who isn't envious of your profits? Of course, you have the hot pot recipe and the ability to make a living. My master knows that. But even if your hot pot is delicious, it won't withstand constant disruptions and troubles caused by others. Who would dare to come to your shop after that?"
Xing Yu's words contained veiled threats. She stopped there, leaving the rest for Cheng Songer to understand. 
Cheng Songer pretended to ponder, putting on a look of "how terrifying, you dare to threaten me, I am oppressed by the powerful and helpless."
"How about it? Miss Cheng, what do you think?" Xing Yu looked at her and instantly felt proud. Even if you have the support of the Yan family, what can you do? A strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake. Xing Boss's family has been deeply rooted in Chengyang County for so many years, naturally they are not to be trifled with. 
Cheng Songer sighed and asked, "What exactly does Xing Boss mean?"
Xing Yu said, "Naturally, she wants you to hand over the hot pot recipe. If you let our Xing Boss have a good life, then Xing Boss can make your life better. Otherwise. . ."
Xing Yu chuckled twice. 
Cheng Songer despised being threatened the most in her life. 
But for now, she suppressed it and pretended to be hesitant, saying, "Alright, you can go back first. Give me two days to consider."
Xing Yu didn't pursue too eagerly, only saying that after two days, she wanted a result. 
After Xing Yu left, Cheng Songer returned to the room and collapsed onto the bed. 
When she entered, Cheng Qingzhi was manipulating the abacus at the table, still reciting the abacus formula she had taught him before. 
He learned quickly. In just one day, he became extremely proficient, believing that in a few more days, he would be able to help her with the calculations. 
"What's wrong, Songer? Why aren't you happy?" Cheng Qingzhi sat beside her, gently placing his slender hand on her hair and caressing it. 
Cheng Songer turned over and rested her head on his lap, sighing. "Someone is jealous of me."
