I was chased by my sickly junior brother who had two lives

In the early morning of the capital, before the mist had dispersed, Chen Jia and Yang Xia had already led a few of their assistants to the silk and satin raw material market on the outskirts of the city. Today, they planned to purchase a batch of high-quality silk raw materials for "Jinxiuxuan" to meet the growing demand for orders.

Chen Jia was wearing a plain cotton and linen long skirt, which swayed gently with her steps, simple yet elegant. She tied her hair neatly behind her head, with a few strands of hair falling on both sides of her cheeks, making her look more capable. Yang Xia was wearing a light blue cloth shirt, the color of which was as clear as the sky in the morning, with a few white flowers embroidered on the cuffs, fresh and natural.

"Chen Jia, I heard that a group of new silk raw material suppliers have come to the market recently. It is said that their goods are quite affordable. If the quality is good, we will definitely return with a full load this time." Yang Xia's eyes were shining with anticipation, and she was full of confidence in this purchase.

Chen Jia nodded slightly and said, "I hope so. However, this raw material is related to the quality of our 'Jinxiuxuan' products. We must not just covet the cheap price, but must carefully identify it."

When they arrived at the market, they saw stalls everywhere, people coming and going, and a wide variety of silk materials. Chen Jia and Yang Xia walked slowly along the stalls, stopping from time to time to pick up a piece of silk and examine it carefully.

"Boss, the texture of this silk looks a bit rough, and the texture is not even, but the price is not low. This is not real enough." Yang Xia frowned and said to a stall owner.

The stall owner smiled awkwardly: "Girl, this is already a good product we have. If you really want it, the price can be negotiated."

Yang Xia gently put down the silk in her hand and shook her head: "This quality is not acceptable to us at Jinxiuxuan. Let's take a look."

After walking a little further, they came to a stall that seemed to have a wide variety of goods. When the middle-aged man behind the stall saw Chen Jia and Yang Xia, he immediately came over with a big smile on his face.

"Ladies, are you looking for the best silk raw materials? What I have here are all top-quality silks shipped from Jiangnan. They are soft in texture and bright in color, and can definitely meet your needs." The man introduced attentively.

Chen Jia picked up a piece of silk and stroked it gently. The silk was indeed smooth to the touch, but she still keenly noticed something strange. She looked at Yang Xia, who was also looking at her with a puzzled look.

"Boss, you said this silk is top quality from Jiangnan, but I feel the color is too bright and doesn't look like it's made from natural dyeing. Can you tell us about the production process of this silk?" Chen Jia asked calmly.

The man's eyes flickered slightly, but he quickly regained his composure: "Girl, this is our exclusive dyeing process, which can make the color of silk more lasting and brighter. Don't worry, this is unique in the capital."

Yang Xia said, "Boss, please don't lie to us. We have been in the silk business for a while, and we can tell the difference between good and bad silk. If you don't tell us the truth, we won't be able to do business."

Seeing Yang Xia's tough tone, the man's face changed slightly and he said, "Girl, what do you mean by this? This is a good product. If you don't know the value of it, don't talk nonsense here."

Yang Xia was immediately furious and raised her voice: "How can you be so unreasonable? We just want to understand the true situation of the goods, but you are so secretive. Is there something wrong with this silk?"

The man sneered, "Humph! I think you two girls are here to cause trouble on purpose. I have been doing business in this market for many years and have a good reputation. How can I allow you to slander me?"

Seeing the man being so shameless, Chen Jia stopped being polite and said, "Boss, if you are doing business with integrity, why don't you dare to answer our questions directly? You said that this silk is the top quality product in Jiangnan, but do you have the proof of purchase? If this dyeing process is unique, why don't you dare to explain it in detail?"

The man was speechless for a moment after hearing Chen Jia's question. He stammered, "Of course I have the purchase receipt, but I didn't bring it with me today. The dyeing process is a secret of my family. How can I tell you casually?"

Yang Xia said disdainfully, "Don't try to quibble. We at Jinxiuxuan have always focused on the quality of our products. If we use your silk, which has an unknown origin, to make clothes, our reputation will be ruined if something goes wrong."

At this time, some customers were also attracted by the quarrel and gathered around to watch. The man saw that the situation was not good and wanted to calm things down. He said, "Ladies, I am afraid of you. If you don't like this silk, you can just not buy it. Why are you making such a fuss here?"

Yang Xia was unyielding: "No! If we don't expose you, more people will be deceived. Today, you must give us an explanation, otherwise, we will report you to the market management office."

When the man heard that he had to go to the management office, he panicked: "Girl, girl, let's talk it over. I...I admit that the quality of this silk is indeed not as good as I said. I used some cheap dyes during the dyeing process, which made its color look so bright. I know I was wrong, so please let me go this time."

Chen Jia said seriously, "Your behavior is really bad. Business should be based on honesty, but you deceived customers for your own selfish interests. If we hadn't discovered the problem today, who knows how many people would have been deceived by you. We will not let you go easily, and we will definitely let the market management office punish you severely to serve as a warning to others."

After that, Chen Jia led Yang Xia and the staff to the market management office in front of everyone. The unscrupulous raw material supplier begged desperately behind them, but Chen Jia and Yang Xia remained unmoved. They knew that only by maintaining the fairness and integrity of the market could "Jinxiuxuan" develop in a healthy business environment for a long time.

When Chen Jia arrived at the market management office, she informed the management staff of the incident in detail. After hearing the news, the management staff expressed indignation at the behavior of the unscrupulous raw material dealer and immediately decided to severely punish him, confiscating his substandard silk raw materials and imposing a fine as a punishment.

After coming out of the market management office, Yang Xia breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Chen Jia, luckily we discovered the problem today, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. It's really hard to guard against the unscrupulous merchants in this market."

Chen Jia nodded slightly: "Yes, Yang Xia. This has also sounded a wake-up call for us. We must be more cautious and careful when purchasing goods in the future, and we cannot be careless at all. However, you also acted very bravely today and dared to argue with that black-hearted businessman. If it weren't for you, it would be difficult for us to let the truth come to light."

Yang Xia smiled and said, "I just don't want to see Jinxiuxuan being harmed by these unscrupulous businessmen. This is our joint hard work, and I must protect it."

Chen Jia looked at Yang Xia, feeling touched. "It is my fortune and Jinxiuxuan's fortune to have a partner like you. Let's go and have a look at other reliable suppliers. We must purchase the right raw materials today."

Therefore, Chen Jia and Yang Xia embarked on the journey of searching for high-quality silk raw materials. They knew very well that although they would encounter various difficulties and challenges on this business road, as long as they stick to their original aspirations and support each other, they would be able to make "Jinxiu Xuan" move forward and shine even more brilliantly.
