After the government mediated, Hui Niang and the Chamber of Commerce behind her were a complete success.

Businessmen with low social status feel the power of union, and all members of the Chamber of Commerce are inspired by the spirit.

The bookstore lost money and admitted defeat, and the gangsters in the city also stopped.

After the incident, many shops in the city that operate other businesses saw the changes brought about by the Chamber of Commerce, many bosses personally went to the Chamber of Commerce's main hall to inquire about joining the Chamber of Commerce.

In the charter formulated by Shen Xi, the Chamber of Commerce is not limited to the merchants who absorb and operate pharmacies. As long as they are willing to accept the charter of the Chamber of Commerce and meet the "entry system", all walks of life can apply to join. This time, all merchants of the Chamber of Commerce joined forces to cause great significance to the outside world, and many merchants want to join and be protected.

After the initial joy, Hui Niang soon became worried again.

In the few days after the matter was finished, there were no less than a hundred shops in Fucheng alone who sent people to the Chamber of Commerce to ask if they could join. It was a good thing that the Chamber of Commerce could be expanded, but the problem was that there were too many shops applied to join, and even the bookstores that had joined together to oppose her before would join.

These shops are very complex in terms of scale and business direction. Although the access system is well set, she does not have so much energy and manpower to check whether these shops meet the conditions.

According to what Shen Xi said before, she would send out an "application form" for anyone who requested to join the Chamber of Commerce, requiring these merchants to fill in the specific situation of their stores, business categories, approximate scale, future development direction, etc. and submit it to the Chamber of Commerce for review.

When Hui Niang was holding hundreds of application forms, her eyes were confused and she really didn't know how to deal with it.

There was no choice but to make a private appointment with Shen Xi, and gather at the room on the second floor of the pharmacy during the third night shift to discuss.

Hui Niang came up and showed all the application forms she received in the past few days to Shen Xi, telling the current difficulties of the Chamber of Commerce: "At the beginning of the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce, it was enough for the General Office to invite a guest. Although there were more than 20 pharmacies in Tingzhou Prefecture, most of the time they would not come to the Fucheng City, and there were only more than 20 local ones. Sometimes I even brought my maids to help and could always deal with it. But now I have accepted so many businesses at the same time, and with the existing staff, I can’t take care of the General Office of the General Office, let alone sending people to the assessment."

Shen Xi thought for a while and said, "Didn't there be any charter before? Just take a little inspection based on the charter. If there is really no one, just choose those time-honored brands with reputation to join."

Hui Niang still shook her head. She originally planned to use the end of the year to print more New Year paintings and make a lot of money. However, because there were too many things in the Chamber of Commerce, she was so anxious that she almost collapsed.

"It's not good to choose anyone. Some of these businesses are in the relationship of Elders' Hall, while others are introduced by other pharmacies in the Chamber of Commerce. Since I came to host the Chamber of Commerce, I cannot favor one or the other. I must ensure openness, fairness and justice, otherwise it will not be convincing. I have talked to the elders of the Chamber of Commerce. They have asked me to make up their ideas regardless of whether they ask me to make up their minds. I have been so busy these days, and they are even more tiring than integrating the Chamber of Commerce before."

Hui Niang sat there, holding her forehead with her hands to rest, but there were too many things. She couldn't help but open it as soon as she closed her eyes. Looking at so many application forms in front of her, she was upset.

Without a man, she always feels lonely when it is late at night. Before, she always wants to devote herself to work to make herself not think too much, but when she encounters difficulties and troubles, she still feels isolated and helpless.

Chen Xi waved his hand: "Auntie, since it's hard to choose, just absorb it."

"ah?"

Hui Niang looked at Chen Xi in surprise, "All of them come in? I'm afraid that so many businesses are not easy to manage, right?"

"What's the point of the Chamber of Commerce is to become bigger and stronger. If there is insufficient staff, increase the staff, and if there is not enough venues, rent a larger one. Or the previous access system may have some problems, so it's better to make some adjustments. In the first year of the Chamber of Commerce, every shop that wants to join the Chamber of Commerce will have to pay five cents of access, and then pay an annual fee every year. If you add this clause, many businesses with insufficient strength will give up."

Hui Niang thought about it and nodded first because she felt that Chen Xi was right. Originally, there was no need to spend any money on joining the business. Now, with the threshold of access and annual fees, many small shops would definitely not want to join. But in the end, she shook her head: "Xiaolang, we set up a chamber of commerce, not to make any money."

Chen Xidao: "Aunt, look at what you said. We didn't rent the main hall of the Chamber of Commerce? What do you do now? Besides, if you collect the money, it will be recorded in the Chamber of Commerce's accounts. Although the money is managed by you, every incoming and outgoing money will be recorded. It is taken from the Chamber of Commerce and used for the Chamber of Commerce. What's wrong with it?"

Hui Niang couldn't find any fault at all, but she was honest and still hesitant.

Chen Xi continued to add: "Aunt, you have to tell those who come to apply to join the Chamber of Commerce that this is the discounted price for the first year of the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce. When the Chamber of Commerce becomes bigger and stronger in the future, it is impossible to join the Chamber of Commerce if you want to pay five cents of silver. You want to get the discount and protection of the Chamber of Commerce, but don't want to pay any price, don't think about good things."

"When my aunt talks about the access money, if those people are unwilling to pay, even their instructors will have nothing to say, right?"

Hui Niang finally made up her mind and looked at Chen Xiyi's face and said firmly: "Okay, then I'll try it tomorrow."

After the serious matter was said, Hui Niang felt a little relieved, but she was not in a hurry to send Chen Xi away. Chen Xi came here two times before, but she was not prepared. This time she was worried and invited Chen Xi personally, so she prepared some food for rewards, which she cooked in person.

When Chen Xi first met Hui Niang, she tasted her skills. Later, as the business grew, she found a few maids and gradually stopped cooking. Seeing that the side dishes that Hui Niang cooked by herself were both delicious and fragrant, Chen Xi couldn't help swallowing her saliva. When Hui Niang brought the dishes, she couldn't wait to taste them.

"Eat more if you like it."

Hui Niang was also very happy to see Chen Xi eating with relish, "Xiao Lang, you are just when you grow up. You are so capable now. When you grow up, you may be even more amazing."

Chen Xi raised his head and looked at Hui Niang with sincere eyes: "When I grow up, I will definitely protect my aunt and not let others bully you."

Hui Niang's face was filled with a gratified smile, she touched Chen Xi's head, and cursed her tone: "Look at your mouth, I don't know how many girls' families you will harm when you grow up, just don't be bullied by you."

Hui Niang thought Chen Xi could not understand these ambiguous words, so she shook her head with emotion.

But how could Chen Xi not understand? This is indeed a bit too much, but if you pick it carefully, you can't tell whether Hui Niang was intentionally suggesting or unintentional mistakes, or whether Hui Niang just wanted to tease him.

"Why don't you eat anymore? It's not delicious?" Hui Niang looked at Chen Xi who stopped.

Chen Xi came to his senses and smiled reluctantly: "Auntie, I'm thirsty."

Hui Niang suddenly realized: "Oh, look at me, I'm just shopping for cooking and forgot to cook soup. Fortunately, there is tea, so I'll pour it for you."

Hui Niang seemed to be a virtuous little wife, and she did it very carefully to serve tea and water.

Chen Xi was so upset when he looked at this curtain.

After drinking a sip of tea, Chen Xi ate a few more mouthfuls of food and said she was full. Hui Niang took out a handkerchief with a faint fragrance from her cuff to wipe her mouth. It was the one she usually has close to.

Chen Xi wiped his mouth and suddenly held the handkerchief in his hand: "Oh, it's dirty. I'll go back and wash it and return it to my aunt."

After saying that, he took Hui Niang's handkerchief and walked out of the room and went downstairs. Hui Niang was a little puzzled.

Chen Xi came to the yard below and looked at the handkerchief with the faint light and the plum blossom embroidered by Hui Niang. I don’t know the specific meaning. I thought to myself, did Hui Niang want to use this method to remind herself to be “clean in her heart and have few desires” after her husband died? As a person, he should stand alone and proudly like a plum blossom, and be spotless?

Chen Xi thought about it for a long time and understood something. Since Hui Niang has no man, I am her man. Yi must protect her!
