Zhumen Chunshen

Chapter 143 Showdown (Part [-])

"Think carefully, everyone, let's continue in the afternoon!" Master Yao stood up, nodded to everyone, and left the flower hall surrounded by Master Yao Er, shopkeeper Hao, Yao Cunhui and others.

The noisy discussions in the flower hall suddenly increased several times, and the disputes were extremely noisy!
Master Yao turned his head and stared deeply, turned around and continued to leave without saying anything.

"Brother, do you think someone will leave?" Master Yao Er was full of anxiety.

"Second Uncle, that's for sure," Yao Cunhui poured tea to Master Yao and Second Master Yao, and said with a smile, "It's a good thing to get rid of the black sheep!"

"What Second Miss said is true," Shopkeeper Hao said with a smile, stroking his beard, "The ones left in this way are all able to do things wholeheartedly, and if they work together, there will be no hurdles that cannot be overcome."

Master Yao looked forward without focus, thinking about how much money the Yao family still had, and how much they needed to move this time, turning a deaf ear to the slight conversations on the side.

Master Yao saw that he didn't answer, so he also had a small discussion with Yao Cunhui, shopkeeper Hao, and accountant Lin. He happened to look up and saw Zhao Jiyuan who was holding a teacup in a daze, and asked with a smile, "Mr. Zhao, what do you think? Mr. Zhao ?”

"Ah?" Zhao Jiyuan came back to his senses suddenly, and seeing that everyone except Yao Cunhui was looking at him, he smiled coyly and said, "What Master Yao and Miss Second said makes sense, and the Yao Family Mixing will definitely be able to survive this test." !"

"Hehe, I would like to borrow your good words!" Master Yao Er smiled.

Yao Cunhui raised his eyes and gave Zhao Jiyuan a cold look, and when his eyes turned around and were about to meet her own, he turned away calmly.Thinking of Mao's words yesterday, Yao Cunhui's heart suddenly felt tens of thousands of irritability!Sure enough, Zhao Jiyuan was very favored by the old man, and he was even allowed to attend such an important meeting of the Yao Family Mihang!

After a while, lunch was served, which was ordered from a nearby restaurant. The table was filled with twelve delicacies. The aroma was tangy and the color was bright, but no one had any appetite.Master Yao smiled and beckoned everyone to sit down and take the lead in eating, and everyone couldn't finish eating after a few chopsticks.

Zhao Jiyuan happened to be sitting opposite to Yao Cunhui, Yao Cunhui saw that nightmarish face as soon as he looked up, and he had no appetite at all.The chopsticks barely scratched a few times in the bowl, and after eating two chopsticks of green vegetables, I couldn't use them any more.

At the end of the meal, Master Yao called Master Yao Er to talk about things, shopkeeper Hao and accountant Lin also went to explain some matters at hand, Yao Cunhui stood in front of the window and stared outside, secretly thinking about the scene he would face in the afternoon.

"Second miss, I don't think you have much use for your lunch, why don't you have some snacks!" Zhao Jiyuan approached suddenly and smiled gently.

Yao Cunhui's body tensed subconsciously, she took a step to the side, and said lightly, "No need, I'm not hungry."

Zhao Jiyuan seemed to be sighing slightly, and said again: "There are fresh grapes just bought, or the second lady—"

"No need!" Yao Cunhui looked at him with a gloomy face, staring at him and said coldly: "I said I'm not hungry, did Mr. Zhao understand?" Still puzzled, she laughed again: "Maybe my father has an appetite. You might as well take it to my father, sir!"

"Second Miss..." Zhao Jiyuan smiled helplessly, and said in a low voice, "Forgive me for being stupid, I'm thinking about it and I don't know how I offended Second Miss! I have absolutely no malice towards Second Miss."

"You think too much, it's my own personality problem! It has nothing to do with others!" Yao Cunhui didn't want to see him again, so she turned and went out after speaking.

In this world, villains are not to be feared, but hypocrites and smiling tigers are the most feared.Yao Cunhui secretly warned herself, she absolutely can't, give him a chance!

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: Zhao Jiyuan has good looks, talent and learning, gentle disposition, considerate and careful in his actions. How could the deity in the previous life, a boudoir lady who didn't leave the door and never set foot in the door, resist his temptation?
Watching that slim figure disappear before his eyes, Zhao Jiyuan stared at it bewilderedly, and sighed softly.I don't know since when, this figure and that deserted face can't be erased from his mind.

Maybe, because of her coldness, Dudu's coldness towards him attracted his attention?The more he paid attention, the more he found that he wanted to pay more attention!
She is so beautiful, with her flamboyant yet restrained demeanor, her soft yet tenacious disposition, her keen response and eloquence, her calm and confident attitude, and her elegant temperament exuding from the inside out, all of which make her astonishing. He was fascinated by his heart, he never thought that one day he would put a woman in his heart, would toss and turn sleepless nights because of her, and when he calmed down, his mind would be filled with her beautiful image.

And she was cold, indifferent and alienated to him, and she didn't mind him feeling her attitude at all.He couldn't figure it out, and then he paid more attention to her.

At first he thought it was her trick to get him, but now he thought about it and felt ashamed of himself: how could she?He would rather be like this, which at least shows that she has him in her heart!

Soon it was time for another meeting in the afternoon, and sixteen of the more than 80 shopkeepers decided to leave, including Sima Hong.

Master Yao and Yao Cunhui didn’t say anything. It’s really a good time to get together and leave. Please ask shopkeeper Hao, accountant Lin, and shopkeeper Lin to lead them away first to discuss the business handover of the store. .

The shopkeepers re-signed the contract one by one, and pressed their bright red handprints.For a moment, everyone couldn't help feeling a lot of emotions, the scene in just half a day made people feel like the sea has changed!

"Ms. Yao thank you all for staying and staying with the Yao family to overcome difficulties! Thank you for your trust. Mr. Yao will never forget this friendship, and will not let everyone give in vain!" Master Yao stood up with a serious face. , Tuantuan bowed to everyone.

"My boss is polite!", "Don't dare to be that!" All the shopkeepers hurriedly got up to return the courtesy.

Master Yao said some inspiring words again, and the atmosphere turned around unknowingly. All the shopkeepers regained their spirits immediately, and all smiled and asked Master Yao to arrange the grain purchase plan.

Master Yao didn't have a way to turn stones into gold, he took the most popular way, assigning responsible persons in different regions, and went to the villages to collect grain when the grain came out.

Some shopkeepers understood, some didn't care, and some were disappointed.

"I have to ask everyone to be more careful and charge as much as possible! But there is one thing, the quality must be checked, and the Yao family's brand cannot be destroyed!" Master Yao solemnly instructed.

"Father, all the way to Anhui, my daughter wants to go in person, shopkeeper Lin, let him stay in Beijing to help father!" Yao Cunhui suddenly bowed his hands and begged for orders.

Everyone knows that the capital city and its surrounding towns are the main battlefield of this food war, and the capital city will soon be full of dark waves and bloody storms. Fighting in the business field is definitely not as easy as fighting on the battlefield!Master Yao would have a better chance of winning if he had an extra right-hand man by his side.

"Second Miss, how can this be done! This is not your job!" Shopkeeper Lin became anxious when he heard this.

He and Yao Cunhui went south all the way, and went abroad together, and he had been taking Yao Cunhui to study in the store before, and the friendship between the two was extraordinary.In shopkeeper Lin's heart, the respect for this second lady is no less than the respect for the master, but when it comes to personal relationships, the balance in his heart is more inclined to Yao Cunhui.

Going out to buy food is a completely different concept from going to Nanyang to buy food!Traveling, eating and sleeping in the open, but also going down to remote villages, dealing with farmers, negotiating prices, visiting local rich men and small gentry, and possibly facing all kinds of difficulties.There are also the harvested grain, packaging, transportation, and management along the way. The hard work involved cannot be explained in a few words.To encounter bad weather from time to time, windy and rainy, and muddy roads, the suffering will be even greater!
"Father, please promise your daughter! My daughter will definitely not let you down!" Yao Cunhui stared straight at Master Yao with a pair of beautiful eyes, soft and firm, unquestionable and refutable.

"It's been a tough journey," Master Yao said with a glance at her. "It's windy and rainy, we eat and sleep in the open, and it's not easy to go to the countryside to negotiate deals with farmers and landlords."

"I'm not afraid of hard work, father," Yao Cunhui smiled, "Why don't you ask shopkeeper Lin to find an experienced assistant for my daughter to follow! My daughter can endure hardship! This is our Yao family's business. Father and all the shopkeepers have worked hard. , my daughter is willing to share weal and woe with everyone!"

"Okay, she is indeed a good daughter of my father! Since you said that, shopkeeper Lin, you stay in the capital and let the second lady go this trip for you!" Master Yao laughed loudly and raised his eyebrows.

"Thank you daddy!" Yao Cunhui was overjoyed, and bowed her knees to bless her body.

Shopkeeper Lin had no choice but to accept the order with a sigh, secretly thinking about it, so he had to choose a few more reliable buddies to accompany the second lady for a trip!

"My boss, don't worry, since we decided to stay, we will do our best and not disappoint our boss!" All the shopkeepers took the initiative to invite Yao Cunhui, a charming young lady, and their masculinity broke out for a while, even those who were a little bit depressed were also in a good mood. Agitated, they agreed loudly.

At this moment, Master Yao suddenly sensed his daughter's intentions. He felt somewhat relieved and also somewhat displeased. He boosted morale with a smile, then motioned for everyone to be quiet, and explained every detail to them bit by bit.

This work survived until late at night.

Master Yao did not let Yao Cunhui stay with these trivial matters, and ordered someone to send her back to the mansion in the evening, so that she could have a good rest, and it was time to leave for Anhui in three or four days.

Yao Cunhui returned to Luomei Courtyard, physically and mentally exhausted, but her heart was also filled with an indescribable joy.A strange emotion swirled in her chest, making her clear eyes even brighter.

"Second Miss, you are back!" Hong Liao smiled and opened the curtain to welcome her in, and ordered Xiaoli to fetch water for the young lady to wash her face and hands.

Seeing Hongzhi standing aside, Yao Cunhui said, "Hongzhi is going to fetch water, Polygonum red, I have other things for Xiaoxing and Xiaoli to do in the past two days, so let's tell Hongzhi to do the daily chores!"
