"But, but, wasn't it Master Fang's guard who killed Master Nize?"
"Miss, of course you can hire guards at any time."
"How can a pauper get the money to hire a bodyguard?"
"I don't know about that. But what is certain is that the situation expected by the lady will not happen." The fat shopkeeper shook his head and pointed out in a rare calm tone.
"Although it is regrettable, it seems that the actions taken to negotiate for negotiation may have had the opposite effect this time. In order to prevent our company from suffering greater losses, I suggest that it is better to consider countermeasures immediately! In fact, considering the time, it is too late to consider it now
Already..."
"Damn it! It's happening again!" Bai Minghua punched the window frame angrily. "How annoying is that guy going to be!?"
"Miss! Please calm down!" Hu Ji's expression changed slightly.
"I know! I will calm down, I will calm down."
Bai Minghua rubbed his red fists, tears welling up in his eyes.
As the branch president, Bai Minghua has a clear mind to assess the situation. Of course, she is not unaware of the dangerous situation she is in at the moment. If Gu Chen really goes to the outside world to collect raw materials, then her plan to force him to join Rishengchang with debts will be
Completely bankrupt.
Not only that, Gu Chen also hired guards to assist the pioneers in defeating the Ni Ze Lord. His reputation as a master of the field may have spread to the ears of the Liyang Prefecture, far beyond the control of Ri Shengchang.
Fangshi has always been regarded by the imperial court as the cornerstone of people's livelihood. If Gu Chen complained to the government secretary about the poor treatment during his stay in Rishengchang, as well as the operation of monopolizing medicinal materials, Rishengchang would have painstakingly managed several operations in Liyang.
I am afraid that the reputation that has lasted ten years will be destroyed in one day. It would not be surprising even if I received a letter of indictment from the government department tomorrow.
For Bai Minghua, who has been running the branch smoothly so far, this is as uncomfortable as putting a sling around her neck. Especially when she thinks that the other end of the sling is still in the hand of that disgusting freeloader, Bai Minghua
It was so uncomfortable that my stomach was churning, and I almost couldn't help but vomit it out.
(Is that guy really my god of plague? Nothing good will happen after meeting him!)
Bai Minghua covered her mouth with her hands, trying hard to endure the physical disgust, and began to think about ways to get rid of the current situation. Even though she was short in stature, she was still the branch president of Rishengchang, and of course she was responsible for the trouble she caused.
The awareness to clean up the aftermath.
However, before he had any idea of what he was thinking, there was a knock on the door in the office, and a clerk cautiously poked his head in and reported the news that someone had brought a magical elixir to the door.
……………………
As the saying goes, "It's a blessing, not a curse, it's a curse that cannot be avoided."
Although Rishengchang was at a disadvantage due to wrong countermeasures, Rishengchang was still one of the few large trading companies in Shangli Country, and there was really no reason to be a coward. After asking the clerk to ask the visitor to wait in the living room, Bai Minghua calmed down a little.
I soon arrived at the living room.
The shopkeeper Hu Ji anxiously followed the branch president, racking his brains to think of a way out of the crisis before entering the living room. However, surprisingly, there was no foreign youth in the living room.
The two people sitting on the sofa, one is a female swordsman with a horizontal sword on her waist, and the other is a white-haired boy sitting next to the female swordsman, looking around frequently. The former Hu Ji is quite unfamiliar, but
Hu Ji was quite impressed by the latter.
"Little monkey? Why is it you?"
Hu Ji called out the young man's nickname, but his face could not hide his surprise.
In the past, Baiyuan Xiaoyi would come to the store to help with the on-site workers from time to time, and he also received wages from Hu Ji several times. Later, Hu Ji heard from the waiter that his hands and feet were unclean, and he would be beaten if he was caught stealing money.
He was half dead and never hired him again.
Unexpectedly, it was Xiao Yi who brought the elixir for sale this time. Hu Ji immediately thought of the possibility that the elixir had come from a wrong way. He exchanged glances with Bai Minghua next to him, and then turned his face away.
"Little monkey, Rishengchang doesn't accept goods from shady sources. Is your batch of elixirs okay?" It's your own business to offend the master, but don't drag Rishengchang into trouble? This is nonsense.
The subtext of Ji.
"Humph, don't look at people through the cracks in the door. We have stopped doing this thing a long time ago! Now I am a follower of the master, and I am here to negotiate on behalf of our Gewufang." Xiao Yi waved his hands and announced with his hands on his hips.
"What? Have you become a disciple of Shangfang?" Hu Ji was stunned on the spot when he heard this, and then he couldn't help but doubt. "And what is 'Gewufang'? I have never heard of this name. Could it be you?"
Did you make it up randomly?"
"That's not the case." It was the female swordsman Feiyan who interrupted. "Gewufang is a private workshop group established a few days ago. The owner of the workshop is Gu Chen. Gu Chen makes a living by refining elixirs. We are here to visit Rishengchang.
It is also his sending.”
The female swordsman's majestic voice was far more trustworthy than Xiao Yi's, and when Gu Chen's name was mentioned, Hu Ji's doubts disappeared. Although he was shocked that Gu Chen had gathered the resources to form a workshop group so quickly, the fat shopkeeper still
Try your best to control your vacillation and adopt a solemn attitude of negotiation.
"I'm sorry. Who are you?"
"My name is Feiyan, and I am Gu Chen's bodyguard and assistant."
"Guard? Wait, is it you who is rumored to have defeated the Nether Lord... ah, no, you?" Hu Ji suddenly remembered the rumors of the pioneers, and couldn't help but be in awe of the female swordsman in front of him who could compete with the big monster.
My heart began to waver. "So, Mr. Gu really formed a group? It's unbelievable, it's unbelievable... Ah, I'm sorry, I don't mean anything else. I just wanted to congratulate him in person."
"I'm afraid not. Gu Chen has other things to do, so we will be responsible for negotiating with Ri Shengchang for the time being."
Feiyan tilted her head slightly as she spoke, and Xiao Yi, who received the signal, quickly put the sturdy rattan basket on the table. Hu Ji, who noticed this, nodded secretly. It seemed that the female swordsman and Xiao Bai Yuan were both apprentices.
However, there seems to be a clear hierarchy between the two.
"Here are five bottles of Xiaoyu Shui. Each bottle of Xiaoyu Shui can be divided into twelve bamboo tubes. Gu Chen said that he hopes Rishengchang can buy it at the previous price."
"I understand, please wait."
Hu Ji carefully took the rattan basket, took out the bottle of Xiaoyu water and looked at it carefully.
This batch of Xiaoyu Shui had obviously just come out of the oven, and its spiritual essence was unusually rich. Although Gu Chen planned to give it to Rishengchang based on the ratio of twelve bamboo tubes per bottle, but based on Hu Ji's experience, the weight may be divided into two bottles.
There are more than fifteen bamboo tubes. Xiaoyu Shui, which is rich in spiritual essence, has always been a hot commodity in the market. Logically speaking, Rishengchang has no reason to refuse this deal.
However, Rishengchang clearly offended Gu Chen for monopolizing the operation of Perilla Leaf, but the other party instead sent this bloody preferential deal. Hu Ji, who was familiar with the inside story of the situation, couldn't help but feel guilty as a thief, and looked at it with some uncertainty.
To the branch manager.
However, the mood of Bai Minghua, who was under the spotlight, could hardly be said to be stable from before.
