The temperature in Beifeng City was extremely low at night, and the biting cold wind made every household hide by the stove early. The streets became deserted, with only a few passers-by in a hurry passing by.
To the south of the city is a relatively luxurious wealthy area, where most of the rich and powerful families in Beifeng City are concentrated. Among them, there is a completely black building that is particularly eye-catching. It was Beifeng who once oversaw the business affairs in the city.
Chamber of Commerce Headquarters.
"President, you are really far-sighted. If you continue to implement the current plan, in less than a month, that stinky bitch from Jin Fuxuan will definitely not be able to handle it. By then, she will surrender to the meeting.
grow under your feet."
"Yes, yes, that woman is usually very aloof. When the time comes, we must let her kneel down and make a fool of ourselves on the spot, otherwise it will be difficult to relieve the hatred in her heart.
"
"But Jin Fuxuan, the new shopkeeper, is really good-looking. When did our Beifeng City have such a girl? How about... President, you just use this opportunity to take her in, and then use Jinfu
With Xuan’s influence, maybe we can successfully annex the businesses of the main cities in the south.”
The chattering men gathered together were all bloated. Even though they were wearing expensive and luxurious clothes, including priceless jade wrenches and gold rings, they could not hide their vulgar thoughts and behaviors. They were barely "
The words "nouveau riche" are engraved on his face.
The leader was even more fat-headed, with a black mole on the left side of his chin, and a barrel-like belly resting on his legs with difficulty. He was sweating profusely in such a cold north, and needed to keep moving.
Shake the peacock feather fan to make yourself feel cooler.
"Don't be anxious, everyone. Jinfuxuan is a large-scale chamber of commerce that is well-known in the entire fairy world. We can't push Shopkeeper Miao too hard, otherwise she will report it directly to the headquarters, and we will all suffer from the few powerful people who come down. Smart people
I have to learn how to boil a frog in warm water and let her finally surrender at my feet, hahahahahaha."
The man let out an extremely arrogant laugh. As the president of the Beifeng Chamber of Commerce, before Miao Jiasi came, he had everything to do with the wind and rain. He not only controlled all business activities in the city, but even those outside the customs.
Foreign businessmen want to enter the Cangyun Empire and do
All business must go through his approval.
Of course, the so-called trade fees, currency exchange fees, and introduction fees made him, the president, a lot of money. Then the Chamber of Commerce used these money to bribe the city lord's palace and other relevant departments of the empire. Over time, it actually formed a
A complete chain of benefits.
Beifeng City was originally a border city, far away from the core power circle of the empire, and not rich in resources. Therefore, before the war, it was basically a completely self-administered area, and the empire only collected symbolic taxes every year.
Basically, any laws and the like will be put into place.
But after the civil war, Huangfu Qing successfully ascended the throne, and all the administrative systems of the old era were overthrown and rebuilt, which naturally included the original city lord's palace in Beifeng City.
Although the new city lord selected was also an old man who was born and raised in the city, he was by no means as perfunctory in the implementation of various laws and new policies as before, and he categorically rejected the bribes and solicitations from businessmen like them.
Without the so-called "protective umbrella", the voice of the Beifeng Chamber of Commerce has dropped sharply. Not only do foreign businessmen no longer pay various fees, but even several local chambers of commerce have vague plans to break away from them and set up their own businesses.
After Miao Jia Silk settled in Jinfuxuan Beifeng Branch, it launched a variety of innovative and bold business models, which greatly promoted the prosperity of commercial activities in the city. Therefore, regarding "Miao Jia Silk will be the next president of Beifeng Chamber of Commerce"
Rumors that he won the election began to spread among the people.
This made the female businessmen who had relied on the care of the "higher-ups" to continuously exploit the lower-level merchants and engage in various shady transactions, thereby accumulating tens of thousands of dollars, panicked. They knew that once Miao Jiasi came to power, the first thing she would do was to
It is to eliminate the moths in the Beifeng Chamber of Commerce. By then, their status will not be guaranteed, and they may even be imprisoned for violating the laws of the empire.
So I don't know who came up with the "bad idea" and put "trying every means to trip up Jin Fuxuan" as the top priority of the Chamber of Commerce. At first, they just looked for some wild men and gangsters to cause trouble, but gradually
It developed into using the "seven days no reason to return or exchange" rule to deliberately find trouble.
For the first time or two, these people were still unsure. After all, their opponents were from the fairy world.
As a business giant, mobilizing resources and power at will is enough to wipe them out, but unexpectedly, the new beautiful shopkeeper not only did not use thunderous methods, but also accepted the situation.
A group of people who had tasted the sweetness began to "self-hypnotize", thinking that Miao Jiaxi was a weak woman without courage. She didn't even dare to deal with the gangsters who were looking for trouble. How could they find out that they were the masterminds behind the scenes?
So once, twice, five times, ten times, until today the report below said that a foreign monk had intervened to stop the blackmail process, they did not realize that they were in disaster.
The heavy and luxurious door rails were kicked open violently, and the biting cold wind rushed in instantly outside the room, causing these pampered gentlemen to shrink their necks and feel confused.
He looked towards the door and found two figures standing there smiling broadly.
"You are? Miao Jiaxi? Why are you here? This is the helper you found? Do you want to openly use force against us? This is the Cangyun Empire. Even if you are from Jin Fuxuan, you cannot challenge us openly.
Imperial Law."
The fat president was quite smart, and he immediately saw the evil intentions in the smiles of Li Mu and Miao Jiaxi. However, with his heart trembling, he still resisted the urge to run away, and pretended to be calm and shouted loudly:
.
Li Mu and Miao Jiaxi looked at each other, and the smiles on their faces became thicker. They followed the gangsters to the Beifeng Chamber of Commerce to collect commissions, and they were able to catch these female businessmen working together to blackmail Jin Fuxuan.
evidence.
As long as this matter is reported to the city lord's palace, these businessmen will definitely be severely sanctioned. Not only will their property be confiscated, but their personal freedom may also be deprived for a while. However, these people are completely unaware of this and want to sneer at them.
It is deplorable to be emboldened by the law that you wantonly trample on.
"You guys, come here. I see that you are unhappy, and I want to beat you up today."
Li Mu pressed his ears with his little thumb and said to the female businessmen who were retreating step by step.
He is a monk who travels around the world, and he usually pays attention to gratification and grudges in dealing with things. These people are bullying his wife's property, which is equivalent to a slap in the face. Naturally, a simple report to the official is not enough, and he must be beaten to vent his anger.
