[Caiyun Kingdom] The beginning of people

Another three years later──

Chazhou, Jinhua City.

"Miss," Licorice's figure bowed and saluted outside the door, "Master Chai Jin is here."

I sighed secretly, "Say I'm not here." I paused, and then added, "Licorice, this time, my attitude is a bit worse."

"Yes, Miss." Licorice bowed to me outside the door before retreating.

I put down the pen in my hand, pursed my lips, and looked down at the files on the table.Chazhou is really a very troublesome place. I blamed me for my aggressiveness earlier, and I was alerted by Tian Gucheng, the branch president of the Heizhou All-Commerce Federation, so I kicked this troublesome thing to me.But what can I do?As I remember correctly, the chaotic Chazhou was not resolved under the hands of the heroine Hong Xiuli until the beginning of the plot of "The Story of Caiyun Kingdom".Therefore, even though I know that Chai Jin, the prefect of Jinhua, is an upright man, I can't promise to help him.I'm just a businessman, there are some things I can't do.

I sighed again, stood up and cut the candles.

It's better to do your own work first and then care about other people's affairs.

I came to Chazhou this time to achieve business cooperation with the Chazhou area.Since Chazhou has no natural resources, the needs of the state must be supplied by other states, so it has become a big buyer of Caiyun Middle School.The problem is that this potential buyer is a backward and impoverished state, and there are domineering Caiqijia noble tea houses entrenched, how to develop this area has become a big problem.

My identity on this trip is not only to represent the Heizhou All-Commerce Federation, because I am already the vice president of the Heizhou All-Commerce Federation, and I have begun to contact the national business of the All-Commerce Federation.The mission this time is to take Heizhou as the vanguard first. If the cooperation is successful, it will be time for the entire All-Commerce Federation to enter Chazhou.The importance of the task makes it related to my own reputation in the All-China Federation of Commerce, and whether I succeed or not means whether I can go further.

What a headache.

A while ago, I had just left Heizhou and went to Lanzhou to inspect the business of the Zhang family’s tea plantation in the local area. I was sent to Chazhou urgently with a letter. It was clear that I was deliberately making things difficult for me while I was away.The tea house and the state government are in opposition, and the tea state is a hot potato.

"Miss," Licorice said from outside the door, "Master Chai Jin is gone."

"Understood, you go down and rest first."

"Yes, miss, please take care of your body and settle down early. Good night, miss."

I put down the scissors in my hand, sat at the desk again, and looked at the materials of Chazhou over and over again.

Totally unusable.

Regardless of how many times I read it, I still feel that the government in Chazhou and the branch of the All-China Federation of Commerce here are not at all possible partners for cooperation.Many of them colluded too much with the tea house, it is really inappropriate for outsiders to intervene, lest they cause trouble to the upper body.

"Miss." In the middle of the night, the servant Wang Dali knocked on the door.

"What's wrong?"

"Master Zheng Youshun is visiting."

Not urgent. "No, please treat Mr. Zheng well."

"Yes!" Wang Dali retreated.

The one who was kicked to Chazhou was Zheng Youshun, the champion of the "Nightmare National Examination Team".After his internship period, he came to Chazhou as a state Yin.I remember that he was also a key figure in assisting the heroine to clean up Chazhou.

But not now.

I shook my head, blew out the candle, and fell asleep in the cubicle of the study with all my clothes on.Just raise your spirits first.

At the beginning, I was recuperating in Guiyang for more than half a year. After recovering from my illness, I didn't care about expanding my business, so I went back to Heizhou to reorganize my foundation.Thanks to his father's ingenuity, the Zhang family did not develop into the prosperous timber and coal industries in Heizhou, but instead devoted themselves to the local grain business in Heizhou.Although the profit is not much, but so far, the Zhang family has become the most important grain producer in Heizhou, and is an important bargaining chip when Heizhou buys grain from abroad.In addition, the income from the Zhang family's diversified business has stabilized the foundation of the Zhang family. Thanks to the special status of the Heizhou grain industry and the support of Kui Huangyi behind the scenes, I was promoted to one of the seven branches of the National Federation of Commerce and Industry two years ago. The youngest vice-chairman of the Huangzhou General Assembly freed up his hands to continue expanding business in other states.

Unexpectedly, the kung fu of turning his head has been set, and he is in the quagmire of Jinhua City, Chazhou.

When I went out the next day, I felt that I was a piece of delicious fat pork, why so many people were waiting to set me up?

"I'm sorry to meet Ms. Zhang in such a rude way," the tall man walked into the box rudely, sat across from me majestically, and looked at me proudly, "However, Ms. Zhang has never responded to us. Invited by a tea house to come here as a guest, I don’t know how to praise first, so I can’t blame me.”

I put down the teacup in my hand, stood up, and looked around at the people surrounding me with knives.Want to block me to death in a restaurant?I squinted my eyes. In this way, the proprietor of this restaurant is also from the tea family?Or was it coerced by the tea house?I guess, it's just a fool on the fence, anyway, it's not a person who can use it at this stage.

"This one is probably the eldest son of the third generation of the tea family, Mr. Cao Xun?" I smiled at him, while waving my hands to ask Wang Dali and Licorice not to act rashly.

Cha Caoxun rubbed his chin, looked at me unabashedly, "Do you know me too? Of course, it's your ignorance that doesn't know."

I still smiled and didn't reply.

"To make a long story short, you Heizhou All-Commerce Association also wants to do business with Chazhou. That's fine, as long as you hand over the monopoly rights of Heizhou to the tea family, all transactions must be approved by our tea family."

What a big breath.

With a smile on my face, I lowered my head and straightened my sleeves, "Young Master Cha, I don't quite understand what you said. I just came to talk to people from the Chazhou Quanzhou Chamber of Commerce. If there is a chance, I will do one or two deals. Why? Will the solution involve the export trade business of the entire Black State to the Tea State?"

"Don't understand? Hmph!" Cha Caoxun snorted contemptuously, "Women are women, are all the people in the Chamber of Commerce dead? They even sent a useless woman here. I don't care if you understand or not," he said A document was thrown in front of me, "Sign it and that's it."

I picked up the document and stood looking at it for a long time. I saw that the young man sitting across from me was getting impatient, so I smiled and said, "So it's the tea house who intends to cooperate with the All-Commerce Federation?"

With a bang, the wine glass in Cha Cao Xun's hand fell to the ground, and he said in disbelief, "You saw this after looking at it for so long?"

I tilted my head, "Is there something wrong with my understanding?"

He said irritably, "Enough, hurry up and sign for me!"

"But," I put down the paperwork, "I didn't come out with my seal."

"Come on, cut off her hand and press her finger on it!"

"That won't work," I said with a smile, "Although the All-Commerce Federation is not a rigorous organization, it is impossible for one person to command the entire organization. To make this document effective, it must be represented by the Only the seal of the vice president of the Chamber of Commerce is acceptable, and it has nothing to do with me personally." This statement is half true and half false.This is true in principle, but if someone with a high reputation is signing the contract, it doesn't make much difference whether they have the seal of the All-China Federation of Commerce or not.The truth is the biggest accomplice to lies.

"I'll give you one day, and return the paperwork to me tomorrow!"

I smiled and bowed to him, "Master Cha, go slowly."

He stared at me for a long time, and I also maintained a stooped posture.After a long time, he stood up, clamped my chin with his thumb and index finger, and leaned in front of me.

"You'd better not play tricks on me."

I eased my smile, "Master Cha, please respect yourself." Fuck you.

"Zhang Zelan, right? I want you now, what can you do?"

"It's not worth messing up for a mediocre person like me." I pushed his hand away and straightened up, "If I'm humiliated, I won't deal with this matter again." I picked up the table "At that time, another person will come. How long do you think it will take? Half a year? Or a year? How about this, Mr. Cha's expenses for the next three days in the Fireworks Tower will be treated as It’s my kindness, how about it?” Yanhuo Lou is the largest brothel in Jinhua City.

"You don't want to serve me?" Cha Cao Xun said in a gloomy voice.

"Master Cha can marry me as his wife?"

"dream!"

"That's it. With my humble background, Mr. Cha would not even allow me to be a concubine. No matter what I say, I came from an innocent family. Isn't it normal not to want to have no name or title?"

Finally, tea grass Xun was tricked away.This person is the eldest grandson of the younger brother who is the head of the tea family, a direct descendant with an awkward position, so it is no wonder that he is a little eager for success.I vaguely remember that he seems to be a plot character as well.

It's been over 20 years and I don't really remember much.

"Miss!" After Cha Caoxun and his party left, Xiao Xiao, Ah Wen and dozens of servants of the Zhang family came out of the cubicle, each of them gearing up, as if they wanted to beat Cha Caoxun.

I just sat down and comforted them with a smile, "Okay, it's okay." Judging by the number of people here, the group fight with Cha Cao Xun just now was actually not a problem, "Let's eat first, everyone is hungry."

"Miss!" Ah Wen yelled, "You block us with food every time, do you think we are foodies?"

There was a burst of laughter in the wing room.

I also chuckled and said, "Okay, it's my fault, so you can order whatever you want to eat." I just relax and get ready for the next test.

Back at the temporarily rented mansion, I looked at the account books in the study for a while, and Licorice came to report again, saying that Chai Jin, the prefect of Jinhua City, had come again.After I said no more, I let the licorice retreat.

"What a stubborn person." I smiled wryly.

"Then go see me, how about it?" Suddenly, a female voice sounded from behind me.

I paused, turned around, and saw a beautiful girl in a neat horse suit with a heroic figure.

"What can I do for you?"

The girl bowed to me, fell on the ground, lowered her head, "I am very sorry for trespassing. I am the daughter of Jinhua prefect, Chai Ting."

firewood.In the fading memories before time travel, I still remember her.She is Zheng Youshun's future wife.

I said softly, "I remember that you and your younger brother have joined the All-Commerce Federation in Chazhou, right?" You Shun's wife, hehe.

"Yes."

I smiled, "They're all wonderful people. But, sorry, I can't grant your request."

She raised her head, "Vice President Zhang, have you decided to join forces with the Cha family?"

"Please get up first. It's not convenient to talk while lying on the ground, is it?"

"excuse me."

I took Chai Ting to the side hall of the inner courtyard and sat down, and served tea and fruit, and then said: "Miss Chai, it's inconvenient to travel, and the hospitality is not good, please don't mind me."

"No." Her rosy lips curved, "it is already a great honor to sit with you and drink tea."

I laughed.Are you trying to stab me for treating her father harshly? "Sorry, I apologize to you for being so rude to your guests. Please forgive me. If I have the opportunity, I will apologize to your father personally."

Chai Ting also laughed, "It seems that Lord Youshun is right."

"Do you mean Mr. Zhou Yin Zheng Youshun?" I rolled up my sleeves and began to make tea, from ironing the pot to setting the tea and warming the cup, slowly and carefully, "Have you heard me from him?"

"Yes. Master You Shun said that the vice-chairman of the Heizhou All-Commerce Federation is an extremely gentle and beautiful woman, and he has always admired you."

...He's definitely lying. Hey.I don't know how weird my face has become at this moment... Are you using me as a shield if you don't dare to confess your love to Miss Chai Ting?

"Ah," Chai Ting raised his hand to cover his mouth in embarrassment, "I thought you knew."

"Master Youshun and I only met a few times in Beijing by chance, and there are only a few greeting letters in the past few years. Miss Chai, don't get me wrong."

She laughed a little nervously, "It seems that Master Youshun needs to work harder."

Zheng Jun, do you think I won't lose my temper if I die?Or do you know too few women?I smiled wryly and said, "Sorry, I made you laugh."

"No, I was the one who spoke recklessly."

I thought about it, and decided to leave this matter to Zheng Youshun to solve by himself, so I stopped talking and changed the subject, "Miss Chai, why did you come to me?"

"As I said just now, I hope you can meet my father."

"Sorry, that's something I can't promise."

"Master You Shun also said that Vice President Zhang's character is also trustworthy."

Are you testing me again?I still shook my head, "Miss Chai, there are some things that I can't do anything about."

"Then do you want to bow your head to the tea house?"

I said ambiguously: "Retreating is advancing, and advancing is retreating. It seems that retreating does not retreat, and it seems that advancing does not advance."

"Vice President Zhang!" Chai Ting said sternly, "As long as you lower your head once, some things can't be turned back. The Cha family in Chazhou covered the sky with one hand, making people's lives miserable. If we don't overthrow it forcefully, There will never be peace in Chazhou.”

"Miss Chai," I put the tea in front of her, "Did Lord Youshun ask you to come to me?"

"Do not."

"Then why did you come? Your impression of me is all from Mr. You Shun, why don't you trust his judgment?"

"Master You Shun also came to visit in person, but I still can't see you."

"Does he really want to see me?"

Chai Ting looked at me suspiciously.

"Frequent visits and being rejected can express a lot of meaning." It also includes creating the illusion that I might side with the tea house and reject the state pastor's house.

Chai Ting was stunned for a moment, "It seems that I was reckless."

"Miss Chai just can't restrain her loyalty and filial piety."

"In that case," she looked straight at me, "can I understand that Vice President Zhang is on the side of Master Youshun?"

"No." I smiled and pushed the cup over, "Miss Chai, why worry? How about some tea first."

"The people of Chazhou are still in dire straits, and I cannot enjoy luxury."

"I can't make any promises right now. I represent the Heizhou All-Commerce Federation, and I need to be responsible for my words and deeds. Miss Chai, please forgive me."

Chai Ting frowned.

I sighed, "I am not a panacea. One dose can cure all diseases. At most, I am a pawn that can benefit Chazhou when I use it. Ms. Chai, why don't you think about how to use it well first?" Me, how can I be moved? Some impassioned words can certainly inspire people, but without a practical plan, is Ms. Chai really sure to use me well? My chess is not a panacea, and there are places where I can go , There are also places where you can’t go even if you put a knife on my neck. What I can do is how to protect the party I represent. Each has its own strategy, and I think this is the principle of cooperation.”

"You mean..."

I smiled.

Of course I don't deny the possibility of cooperating with the State Shepherd's Mansion. After all, I have predicted the plot. After all, the State Shepherd's Mansion still has a ghost named Zheng Youshun.It's just that whether I make a move at this time depends on what conditions they can give me.I can't sacrifice the interests of the black state to help the tea state, otherwise I won't even be able to keep my position in the black state, so how can I help others?Just like in an air crash, no matter how anxious an adult is, he must put on a life jacket for himself before putting it on for his children.

"It seems that I was really reckless." Chai Ting also understood what I said, and immediately got up to leave.

I don't say any more, and get up to see off the guests.

"Vice President Zhang," before leaving, Chai Tan raised her heroic eyebrows, "I believe that in time, this riddled tea state can also become a prosperous commercial city, where the people live and work in peace and contentment."

"A prosperous commercial city is supported by a strong economic foundation. Ms. Chai, I don't think this is an easy task." I smiled and deliberately poured a basin of cold water on it.

"I know, but I won't give up." Chai Lin's fire was burning brightly.

good girl.

I smiled and saw the guest out.Of course, I still avoided seeing her father, Chai Jin.Now is not the time for me to meet the officials.After fooling Ms. Chai away, I have to think carefully about how to continue fooling that Cha Cao Xun who is still waiting for my stamp.

"Licorice, please help me prepare hot water. I want to take a bath. Also, send a message to Mr. Liu, the secretary, to think of ways to strengthen security. I don't want anyone to break into my study."

"Yes, miss."

I raised my hand and rubbed my temples.

headache.
