Although Wen Bi was a master embroiderer, she was still nothing compared to Tao Dongshan. After all, she was a woman. She was coerced and came to Jinling with no money and power. It would not be an exaggeration to say that she was a doormat.
But she is extremely responsible.
The three hundred embroiderers she brought were all her disciples and grandchildren. How could she watch them suffer, even unable to afford rice and noodles?
If Yan Qi hadn't gifted each of them three hundred taels of silver, they would have been unable to survive this day. The Tao family is really a tough guy.
Wen Bi could not retreat. Although she was disappointed, she still argued: "My boss, although this is a small amount of money for the Tao family, we are counting on this small amount of money to buy rice and noodles. Without this money , maybe he will starve to death tomorrow."
Tao Dongshan sneered: "Starving to death, what does it have to do with me?"
"you……"
Wen Bi was choked so much that she almost fainted. She suppressed her anger and yelled at Tao Dongshan: "This is what the contract stipulates. The Tao family must give money. There is no one who can't work without giving money. Even if you give it a month first." It’s okay, embroiderers have to eat, right?”
"contract?"
Tao Dongshan sneered: "The contracts are all in my hands. Do you have any contracts in your hands?"
"this……"
Wen Bi was dumbfounded.
There is indeed no contract in their hands. They didn't think so before, but now, they realize how important the contract is.
Being teased by Tao Dongshan like this, Wen Bi felt a surge of depression in her chest and belly, and was about to explode with anger.
Tao Dongshan finally opened his eyes and pointed at Wen Bi with disdain on his face: "Don't think that just because you are a master embroiderer, you can be arrogant. Let me tell you, you are working for the Tao family and serving our servants. , when will I pay you your salary? That is our Tao family’s final say. Do you want you to dictate things here? Get out of here, get out of here right now."
Facing such a powerful Tao Dongshan, Wen Bi had no choice.
Especially, being humiliated by Tao Dongshan made me feel extremely embarrassed.
Who can bear the humiliation of someone who is almost sixty years old and being pointed at and scolded?
Wen Bi was disheartened.
They want to leave Jinling, but there is no way. The agreement is still in Tao Dongshan's hands - they have become slaves of the Tao family.
Wen Bi sighed and staggered away.
As soon as I reached the door, I saw several people barging in.
"Mr. Yan...Miss Lin..."
Wen Bi was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say at all, her eyes were red, tears were swirling around her eyes, and they were flowing down.
"Teacher Wen Bi, don't be anxious, don't be anxious! I'll make the decision for you."
When Wen Bi saw Yan Qi, she felt a little ashamed, but also a little hopeful. Although Yan Qi and she were 'rivals', for some reason, when she saw Yan Qi, she felt extra cordial.
When Tao Dongshan saw Yan Qi, he was so frightened that he stood up: "You... what are you doing here?"
He was truly frightened by Yan Qi.
Yan Qi yelled at Tao Dongshan: "Why do you want to bully Teacher Wen Bi, whom everyone respects? Why don't you pay Teacher Wen Bi? Why don't you pay the three hundred embroidery workers?" ? Are you, the Tao family, an iron rooster who has nothing to lose?"
Tao Dongshan was furious: "You Yan Qi, you are in charge of heaven and earth, but you are still in charge of our Tao family's household affairs."
"Yan Qi, let me tell you, have you seen this? This is a contract. Wen Bi is a servant of our Tao family. I can control her as I please. I am willing to give her money and give her a bite of food. It is her honor. I If you don't give her food, she will be hungry, who can say no? Haha!"
Wen Bi and others were so angry that they went crazy.
No one expected that Tao Dongshan, who was once so elegant, would now become so vicious, like a mad dog.
Yan Qi was not frightened, he was calm and composed: "Tao Dongshan, you finally showed the face of a wolf. Very good, very good. I like real people the most. And, let me tell you, about Teacher Wen Bi, I'll take care of it."
Tao Dongshan grinned: "What qualifications do you have to take care of our Tao family's affairs? Who are you?"
Yan Qi laughed loudly: "It's true that I can't control the Tao family's affairs, but Mr. Di can."
Tao Dongshan was stunned: "Di Renfeng?"
Yan Qi said forcefully: "Of course! Do you really think that Teacher Wen Bi and others are servants of your Tao family? Hit them if you want, scold them if you want? Damn, what good things are you thinking of?"
"Let me tell you, Teacher Wen Bi and others are embroidery workers who came all the way from Suzhou. Everyone knows that they are not servants of your Tao family at all. You are just a contractual relationship, and you still want to boss around and humiliate Teacher Wen Bi. You stick a green onion in your pig's nose - where are you pretending to be an elephant?"
"Let me tell you, Di Renfeng is the Prime Minister of Jinling Prefecture. He is in charge of the people's livelihood. Teacher Wen Bi and others work hard, neither stealing nor robbing, and have created profits for the Tao family, but the Tao family does not give money. What is this? Nature? This has seriously tarnished the image of Jinling. How could Lord Di bypass you?"
"this……"
Tao Dongshan could scare Wen Bi, but he couldn't scare Yan Qi.
Who is Yan Qi?
He is smart and familiar with the laws, so no one can deceive him.
Tao Dongshan stared at Yan Qi and sneered: "You still want to use these embroidery workers to blackmail me? Haha, what a beautiful idea, really a beautiful idea."
Yan Qi curled her lips: "As long as there is a contract, what if I threaten you? If I sue Mr. Di, you will definitely suffer. As long as there is a contract, you are dead. What Mr. Di has done to your Tao family has long been I don’t like it any more, so I’ll seize this opportunity to clean up your Tao family.”
"Hahaha, naive!"
Tao Dongshan laughed wildly, with a frivolous smile: "Yan Qi, let me tell you, no one can suppress me, not you, not even Di Renfeng."
He suddenly pointed to the box under the table: "Do you know what this is?"
Yan Qi frowned: "What?"
"The contract, this is the contract."
With a sneer on his face, Tao Dongshan grabbed the tongs, poured oil on them, lit them, and casually placed them on top of the box.
The fire was blazing.
Those contract boxes actually started to burn.
Tao Dongshan stared at the fire and laughed suddenly: "Yan Qi, the contract was burned by me. There is no basis for it. How can you blackmail me? How can Di Renfeng deal with me? Does he have evidence? Does he have an excuse? Haha! "
He pointed at Wen Bi and other embroidery workers, and shouted hysterically: "You trash, you want to ask me for money? I tell you, you can never take a penny from the Tao family. Haha, this month, you will I worked for the Tao family for nothing. Haha, are you angry? Depressed? Helpless? Haha..."
Wen Bi and others were speechless.
I didn't expect Tao Dongshan to be so shameless, burning the contract with a fire. This was a dead end without proof.
Yan Qi laughed loudly and bowed to Wen Bi: "Teacher Wen Bi, congratulations, congratulations."
Wen Bi was stunned and a little confused.
Tao Dongshan was confused: "What did you say? Congratulations? Congratulations? What are you congratulating? What are you congratulating?"
