The following day, Bai Ruozhu set out with Zhang Liliang and her elder brother. A few days ago, she had asked Zhang Liliang to help her find a supply channel for precious stones and jewelry. Now Zhang Liliang had gotten some news and had arranged a meeting with a merchant for today.
Bai Ruozhu decided to hold the meeting at the Guest Welcoming Inn. Nowadays, hosting guests at the inn was considered respectable and showed high regard for the guest. Moreover, she had her private room at the inn, which she could use for free, thereby saving some expenses.
The jewelry merchant they'd arranged to meet was named Deng Gongquan. Upon hearing from Zhang Liliang that he'd been invited to the Guest Welcoming Inn for negotiations the previous day, he was particularly pleased.
