Rebirth of the poor elder sister-in-law

Chapter 222

For the sake of money, the people who were tightly huddled together now had differences. For the sake of money, these shopkeepers no longer cared about President Chen's status as the president of the bookstore, and they all broke their faces with him.

President Chen really had no choice. He had collected all the money, but he wanted to give the money to Han Shixin first, and ask him to help print some new scripts. Who knows, Han Shixin didn't buy it.

That's fine, but now, these old buddies of his know about this matter, and they don't want to help him share his worries, they just want to get his money back, and even force him like this, saying that he will go to the government to see him.

If he really went to the government, where would he put his old face?
After the fire broke out, he didn't report it to the official because he knew that even if he reported it to the official, he couldn't find anything. The fire started from his warehouse. Blame the caretakers themselves for not being careful.

Therefore, in order to reduce his losses, he could only try his best to cover up the matter. He would rather suffer the loss himself than let those merchants know that these people were short-sighted, but he saw the huge profits in it.

This time, these peddlers bought [-] copies, and only the first six were printed, and they had hundreds of taels of silver in them. But he asked about the new Korean style, and his owner should print more than a dozen copies in the future. , if all these are printed, how much profit will there be?

If it can continue like this, their losses are not irreparable. After all, what they are doing now is equivalent to a no-cost business, but being disturbed by these short-sighted companions, President Chen feels that this time, he must not be able to do this business. down.

Hearing the disturbing voices in his ears, implying that he should pay back the money, President Chen felt his ears buzzing. Looking at the familiar faces in front of him, he suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness. Li was a soft-spoken and kind person in front of him, but now he has become ferocious, constantly persecuting himself.

"Butler, go and take out the money." President Chen slumped on the chair, stopped arguing, and asked the housekeeper at home to come over.

When everyone heard his words, their hearts settled down, and the scene became a little quieter.

The butler came to the table with a light brown box carved with large rich peonies, and placed it in front of President Chen.

President Chen opened the box and asked the steward to distribute the money inside to everyone. After everyone got the money, their tone eased up. They were no longer as fierce as before. After saying a few nice words, they bowed hands with President Chen and left together. up.

It finally became quiet, and the spacious hall became somewhat empty because of these people's departure.

"Master, I gave them all the money, what about our business?" The housekeeper was very worried about the situation at home.

"Business can only be put aside for the time being." President Chen waved his hand and said, "Didn't you see that if I didn't give out the money just now, they would all want to eat me alive."

"Sigh, this group of people is really ungrateful. The shopkeeper Han doesn't know what medicine he took. He insisted on seeing the money before printing it for us." President Chen complained about the new Korean style, "Small places are petty. If he has a good relationship with our master, are you afraid that he won't make money next time?"

After President Chen heard what he said, he just waved his hand helplessly and said, "If it's just like this, I'm not afraid, but I'm afraid that he won't give us a seal, but will go directly to those merchants."

"Then how can it be?" After the butler said a few words, he shut his mouth, because these words couldn't convince himself, so how could he convince President Chen.

"Okay, you go to that shopkeeper Han for a run, and let's talk about other things at that time." President Chen rubbed his temples and waved to the housekeeper.

The butler was about to leave, but at this moment, a rough voice came from the door, "President Chen, I'll come here uninvited, please don't blame me."

The leader is wearing a blue silk shirt, and the two people behind him are also wearing silk shirts, and they are the leader faintly, and behind them are some followers dressed in short shirts.These people are exactly the merchants that President Chen cooperates with.

If he saw them normally, President Chen must be very happy, but now, it is too late for him to hide from them. Seeing them now, he only felt dizzy for a while, but he stood up bravely, "It turns out that it is the shopkeeper, hurry up!" Please come in."

This middle-aged man called Xiang the shopkeeper is tall and strong, with a firm face. Because he often runs business outside, his face has a bit of weathered look. He doesn't enter the house, but just stands outside the door and asks straight to the point. : "When can our shipment be delivered?"

His voice was rough, but at this moment, the drum-like sound hit President Chen's eardrums, but it made him a little speechless.

"In a few days." President Chen muttered for a while, thinking of using the dragging formula.

"How many days?" Xiang the shopkeeper didn't even say a word of nonsense.

"Seven days!" President Chen gritted his teeth and said.

"Can I pay all of them in seven days?" President Chen stared into President Chen's eyes.

"Pay half in seven days." After finishing speaking, President Chen looked at shopkeeper Xiang expectantly, hoping that he would give him another chance, but unfortunately, shopkeeper Xiang didn't talk to him anymore, but smiled inexplicably: "President Chen, until now, you still don't Tell us the truth, obviously these books have been burned, you can't hand them over at all, right?"

"I..." President Chen wanted to open his mouth to explain, but he couldn't find any reason to shirk, so he simply admitted the matter and wanted to fight for it with his own confession: "Yes, but as long as you settle some payment first, I can let you Half of the people will be driven out within seven days."

"President Chen, you don't have to hide it. You didn't print these books at all. You also asked someone else to print them, right? In fact, as long as the price is right, you can deliver the goods on time. We don't care about that. The delivery can't be done, do we still need to cooperate?" said the shopkeeper coldly.

"President Chen, you have delayed us for three days, do you still want to delay us for another seven days?" The person behind the shopkeeper took a step forward and said: "We who are traveling around the world as businessmen pay attention to integrity, time is money , if we delay here with you, we will inevitably delay the people we cooperate with us, and if others ask us for compensation, who will be responsible?"

President Chen was speechless when he heard these accusations.

"Okay, let's stop here for our cooperation." Shopkeeper Xiang didn't want to talk to President Chen any more, so he turned around and wanted to leave.

"To the shopkeeper!"

"Is there anything else?" Xiang shopkeeper stopped in his tracks.

Seeing that shopkeeper Xiang didn't even turn his head, President Chen suddenly understood his determination, and he stopped pleading, and just asked, "Do you know who printed our books?"

"Hey, it's in this county anyway, so why can't we find it?" Another person said disdainfully: "As long as you have money, there is nothing you can't do. Let me tell you the truth, the other shopkeepers of your bookstore You have already told us where shopkeeper Han lives."

After President Chen heard this, his face turned pale, and he said, "Then they also told you about this?"

"Yes!" The man came back, and was about to say something to hurt President Chen, but the shopkeeper reached out to hold him, and said: "These things are not hidden things, just ask around and you will know."

After speaking, he took his people and left without looking back.

President Chen stood on the spot like a dead tree, his back looked very desolate, he already hated the book-burning thief to death, although he didn't know who did it, but in connection with the big winner of this matter, he Involuntarily, he set his sights on Han Shixin.

It must be this Korean newcomer, he usually looks submissive, but he didn't expect him to be so ruthless behind his back, and even let someone set fire to his warehouse!

Although there is no evidence, he has already pushed this matter to Han Shixin.But so what, anyway, even if there was no such thing, he would plot against them. If Liu Man'er knew what he was thinking, she might even laugh, she deserved it.

She doesn't want to cause trouble, but she is not afraid of trouble.If at this moment, she knew what happened to President Chen, she would definitely applaud and applaud. Those who harm others will always harm them, and it’s fine to secretly calculate themselves, but it’s unlucky to let her hear it. Isn’t this God’s arrangement? ?If she didn't do anything, it would really be disappointing to God's will.

As for these merchants, after no longer cooperating with President Chen, they naturally found Han Xin.

When Han Shixin saw these merchants coming to his door, he thought they were liars. When Han Shixin repeatedly revealed his identity to the shopkeeper, Han Shixin was dubious.

Because he was suspicious of them, he didn't lead them into the house, but arranged a few rows of private seats for them in the teahouse and entertained them.

At that time, Li Yongwen was telling a story, and when it came to the last time, everyone shed tears at the touching part, and the whole teahouse was extremely quiet, only the sound of sobbing could be heard.

Shopkeeper Xiang and the others were frightened, and stopped talking to Han Shixin, and listened carefully, just wanting to know what is so special about this story.

While they were listening to the book, Han Shixin called Feng Yongkang to entertain him, while he himself went home to find Liu Man'er.

Liu Man'er has finished writing the Yang Family General and is about to start a new storybook. Today she is writing Uncle Jin Yong's famous book "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". She remembers this book quite clearly, so she just needs to copy the pictures in her mind. , It doesn't take much effort, at this moment, flying dragons and phoenixes, the pen is swimming like a snake, scaring the grass beside her grinding ink.

In fact, Yitian Tulong Ji is also a good book, but the word 'slaying the dragon' in this book is a taboo, so she didn't write it. Anyway, there are not many others in later generations, but there are countless novels, and Liu Man'er has read many books. I'm not afraid of not having to write.
