Chapter 843: Don’t bully me and I won’t bully you


Su Wan turned to look at the man who had just spoken. She knew that someone would definitely poke a needle in her plan but she didn't think that it would happen so soon. She looked at the official who just spoke and blinked her eyes as she turned her complete attention to the man as he wanted.


He was a tall and lanky man, even taller than Lin Yu but shorter than Lin Chen. His eyes were shrewd and he looked in his thirties and looked quite older than the rest of the men who stood next to her.


Instead of getting offended by his question, Su Wan politely asked, " Does my lord know how much money it will cost to build this snack street?"


Upon hearing Su Wan's question the official who just spoke was a bit surprised. He pursed his lips and opened and closed his mouth for a while before giving a vague figure, " Around ten thousand silver?"


When Su Wan heard the reply from the official, she laughed so hard that she almost let out a few tears from the corner of her eyes. She shook her head and then corrected him, " You are right it will indeed take ten thousand taels," her response caused the officials to smile but before his lips could curl up, Su Wan added, " Of gold."


" What? Gold?"


" You are saying that the snack street would take more than ten thousand gold taels?"


The officials were shocked and so was Yan Zhao, he did not think that when Su Wan suggested that she was going to build Snack Street she would actually take out ten thousand gold taels.


" You are lying!" The official who asked Su Wan to donate was called Zhou Cheng when he heard the latter's words, he was so shocked that his eyes popped out. How could an official take out so much money just to raise the economy of a city? Su Wan must be lying to him.


" Just because you cannot think of taking out so much money for the betterment of the people, does not mean that no one else can either," Su Wan coldly sneered. " From buying good material for building the snack street, including the furniture, the decor and many other things do you think that it does not need money?"


" We also need to pay the masons, the carpenters and the various people who will be hired to work in the shop, including the advertis.e.m.e.nt to the other towns such that the business would be better. As well as the purchasing of the ingredients as the seafood's smell is on the heavier side, we need more ingredients to mask its fishy scent. Including the fuel, pots and pans.


Everything needs money, we also need to smoothen the path of the street where the Snack Street will be opened."


Su Wan did not give chance to the man to say anything, she simply huffed and then turned to look at the rest of the officials before saying, " As for why don't I donate? I am here to work not to run a charity. If I am using my own money then I will take an ounce of interest for myself. If you can provide me enough money then I will not take a penny!"


" I apologize for my petty actions but I am miserly and I cannot take out such a large sum of money for no reason. If I am not going to recover the lost sum then why should I take it out? We might as well live how we are living right now."


Su Wan was not afraid, she was a straightforward woman who did not deal with dirty tricks. Worst come to worst, she would tell the Emperor that the choice of officials was so bad that she could not work in this city, after all, she was not lying.


All the officials here seemed to have been stuffed after they did not show any development in any other places. Only a few of them belonged to the Big Ocean City for the rest they were like trash who were thrown to the side.


What was the point of listening to such people?


" You…" Zhou Cheng was really angry. He was the eldest official here and everyone treated him with respect yet Su Wan seemed to be treating him like he was some sort of reckless teenager.


" What about me?" Su Wan arched a brow. " I might be a woman but I can come up with plans to bring you as well as the entire county magistrate to the imperial city. My skills are alone to deal with the problem of taxes, debts and the condition of the people. As long as no one deliberately barricades or stops me, I can turn the situation around."


" You are arrogant," Lu Huo could not help but comment.


" I am not arrogant, I am aware of my ability," Su Wan corrected him. " If you work for me then I will lead you to a prosperous life. If you try to go against me or dare to plot to kill me then remember, I am the woman whose abilities were accepted by the Emperor.


If I can win the attention of the Emperor there are a lot of things that I can do, don't take me as a woman who would shed tears if she was bullied."


The smile on her face remained the same but her eyes were cold as she stared at the officials, " If you bully me then I will bully you all right back. Of course, if you treat me well, I will treat you better. I am a straightforward woman, there is only white and black for me there is no grey area in my eyes."


Since everyone was present it was very important for Su Wan to clear the air. The first impression was the last, if she dared to show any sort of weakness then she was afraid that she would end up getting bullied for a long time.
