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

At dawn, the silk and satin raw material market outside the capital was already bustling with people. Chen Jia and Yang Xia, with their shop assistants, shuttled between the stalls with great expectations, looking for high-quality silk foundation for the prosperity of "Jinxiuxuan".

Chen Jia wore a moon-white silk dress, the hem of which brushed the ground lightly, floating like a cloud. The dress was embroidered with only a few strands of light blue silk as embellishment, simple yet elegant. Her black hair was tied up in a bun, with only a jade hairpin inserted, which made her face look gentle and calm. Yang Xia wore a sky-blue cloth shirt, the color of which was like the sky after the rain, giving people a fresh and refreshing feeling. The same-color patterns carefully embroidered on the cuffs and neckline were delicate and exquisite, showing her ingenuity and craftsmanship.

"Chen Jia, look at how lively this market is. You will definitely be able to find excellent silk raw materials." Yang Xia's eyes sparkled with excitement, as bright as stars in the night sky.

Chen Jia nodded slightly and said softly: "Don't be impatient. The quality of raw materials is related to the reputation of 'Jinxiuxuan'. We must select them carefully and never be careless."

The two walked slowly between the stalls, stopping from time to time to carefully examine the silk in their hands. Chen Jia touched the silk lightly, her fingertips sliding over the delicate texture, and with years of experience, she was keenly aware of every subtle difference.

When they came to a stall, the owner was a cunning middle-aged man. When he saw Chen Jia and Yang Xia coming, he immediately smiled and flattered them: "Ladies, are you looking for high-quality silk? The goods here are all from famous workshops in Jiangnan. The texture is as smooth as fat, and the color is as bright as clouds. It will definitely suit your taste."

Chen Jia picked up a piece of silk. It felt smooth to the touch, but its color was unnaturally bright. She and Yang Xia looked at each other, and both saw doubt in each other's eyes.

"Boss, your silk is known as a famous product from the south of the Yangtze River, but the color seems strange and doesn't seem to be naturally dyed. Could you please describe in detail the production process of this silk?" Chen Jia's eyes were calm, but his words revealed unquestionable majesty.

The man's eyes flickered for a moment, but he still tried to remain calm: "Girl, this is my family's secret method of making it, which can ensure that the color lasts for a long time. This kind of craftsmanship is unique in Beijing."

Yang Xia frowned slightly and said bluntly: "Boss, please don't lie to us. I think your silk is not as good as you said. If you don't tell me the truth, I'm afraid this business will be difficult to do."

Seeing Yang Xia's sharp words, the man's face suddenly changed, and he became angry and said, "Girl, stop talking nonsense here and ruining my business. I have been doing business in this market for many years and have an excellent reputation. How can I allow you to slander me like this?"

Yang Xia was not afraid and argued: "If you are doing business with integrity, why don't you dare to answer our questions directly? You said the silk came from a famous workshop in Jiangnan, do you have a purchase certificate? Why don't you dare to explain the secret production process in detail? It's obvious that you have something to hide."

The man was speechless for a moment, and stammered, "The purchase receipt... I was in a hurry today and didn't have time to bring it with me. The dyeing process is a family secret, how dare I leak it out so easily?"

At this time, the surrounding customers were attracted by the quarrel and gathered around. The man saw that the situation was not good and tried to calm things down: "Forget it, if the two girls are not satisfied, you can leave and don't make a scene here."

How could Yang Xia give up so easily? "No! If you are such a black-hearted businessman, if you are not exposed, more people may suffer. Today, you must give 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 and said, "Girl, girl, let's talk it over. I... I'll tell you the truth, the quality of this silk is indeed defective, and some cheap dyes were used during dyeing to make the color so bright. I know I was wrong, please forgive me."

Chen Jia's face was stern, and he scolded: "Your behavior is really despicable. Business should be based on honesty, but you deceived customers for profit. Fortunately, we noticed it, otherwise the reputation of "Jinxiuxuan" would be ruined. We will not let you off easily, and we will let the market management office punish you severely to serve as a warning to others."

After that, Chen Jia, Yang Xia and the shop assistant, in front of everyone, walked straight to the market management office. The black-hearted businessman begged desperately behind them, but Chen Jia and Yang Xia remained unmoved. They knew that only by defending market fairness could "Jinxiuxuan" be prosperous forever.

When Chen Jia arrived at the management office, he reported the whole incident in detail. Upon hearing this, the management was outraged by the unscrupulous businessman's behavior and immediately decided to impose heavy penalties, confiscate his inferior silk, and impose a high fine.

After returning from the management office, Yang Xia breathed a sigh of relief: "Chen Jia, there were many dangers today, but fortunately I was able to see through his deception. It is really hard to guard against unscrupulous merchants in this market."

Chen Jia nodded slightly: "Indeed. This is also a wake-up call for us. We must be extremely careful when purchasing goods in the future. However, your courage today is admirable. You dare to face the black-hearted businessman. If it weren't for you, the truth might not be known."

Yang Xia smiled and said, "Jinxiuxuan is the fruit of our hard work. I will do my best to protect it."

Chen Jia stared at Yang Xia, her heart full of gratitude: "It is my fortune to have you as my companion, and it is also the fortune of Jinxiuxuan."

After this incident, Chen Jia resolutely decided to change the raw material supplier. With her connections and prestige in the business community, she quickly contacted several silk suppliers with a good reputation. When these suppliers heard about the experience of "Jinxiu Xuan", they expressed deep sympathy for Chen Jia's experience and highly appreciated her determination to maintain business integrity. They were all willing to cooperate with "Jinxiu Xuan" at a preferential price.

Chen Jia carefully discussed the details of the cooperation with the new suppliers, from the quality standards of silk, price terms, to delivery time and transportation methods. She personally checked the silk samples provided by the suppliers, and each piece of silk was strictly inspected by her to ensure that its texture, color and texture met the high-end requirements of "Jinxiuxuan".

At the same time, Chen Jia did not let go of the black-hearted raw material supplier. She cleverly spread the news of the black-hearted businessman's counterfeiting and selling inferior products in the business circle of Beijing. She told the merchants and customers how the black-hearted businessman sold inferior products as good ones, how he deceived customers, and how he tried to argue after being exposed. Chen Jia's words were sincere, and with the punishment from the market management office as evidence, everyone believed it.

As a result, the reputation of the unscrupulous raw material supplier plummeted in the business circle of Beijing. Merchants who had originally intended to cooperate with him avoided him one after another, and existing customers no longer patronized his stall. His business became increasingly deserted, and there was often no one in front of his stall.

The unscrupulous raw material dealer was extremely worried when he saw the poor business. He tried to save the situation by selling silk at a lower price, but people were afraid of his bad deeds and did not dare to buy. He also asked people to intercede for him, hoping to reconcile with Chen Jia and let her stop spreading the matter.

One day, the unscrupulous raw material supplier came to Jinxiuxuan in person and asked to see Chen Jia. Chen Jia met him in the reception room of the shop.

The black-hearted businessman was wearing shabby clothes, his face was haggard, and his eyes were full of pleading: "Miss Chen, I know I am wrong. I shouldn't have cheated you and other customers for the sake of small profits. Now my business has been ruined, and my family is starving. I beg you to be magnanimous and let me go."

Chen Jia sat upright on the chair, looking calm: "You regret it now, is it too late? When you cheated, did you ever think that this would be the result?"

The black-hearted businessman burst into tears: "Miss Chen, I was blinded by greed. I promise to operate with integrity in the future and never make the same mistake again. Please help me put in a few good words in front of everyone and give me a chance to start a new life."

Chen Jia shook her head slightly: "Your mistakes have caused great damage to the market order. Although I sympathize with your family, you must bear the consequences of your actions. I can't help you."

Seeing Chen Jia's firm attitude, the unscrupulous businessman collapsed on the ground in despair. Chen Jia felt sorry for him, but she knew that fairness and integrity in business must be maintained. If she easily forgave such unscrupulous businessmen, it would be unfair to other honest businesses and customers.

Since then, under the careful management of Chen Jia and Yang Xia, Jinxiuxuan has produced more and more exquisite silk with high-quality silk raw materials. Its reputation has become more and more famous in the capital and even the surrounding areas, and its business is booming. The stall of the unscrupulous raw material dealer was eventually eliminated by the market as no one cared about it.
