Yang Fangsheng was waiting a little impatiently in the Chu family's paper money shop when he saw the back door of the shop was pushed open and a man and a woman walked out. The man was tall and slender, and the woman was fair-skinned although she was not a queen. Beautiful and slim, the two walked out together, they were truly a perfect couple.
This couple is naturally Chu Yi and Shen Luzhu.
It's funny to say that Yang Fangsheng has regarded Chu Ji as his enemy and target for so long. This is the first time he has seen the true faces of Chu Ji's funeral boss and his wife. They are so young that they look ridiculous.
Ever since Yang Fangsheng learned that his workshop and shop had been controlled by his two brothers, he had been extremely anxious, fearing that when he woke up that day, he would no longer have a penny to do with the Yang family's property.
Yang Fangsheng knew what he should do, but it was even harder for him to think and plan. The old lady of the Yang family's long-term doting and pampering, as well as those days of drinking and having fun, had completely corrupted Yang. Compared with his personality and popularity, he cannot compete with the boss Yang Fangwen. Compared with his scheming and scheming, he is even less worthy of mentioning in front of the second brother Yang Fangwu.
Those former friends lost contact after he went to the countryside. Brothers Wang Dashun and Wang Xiaoshun, who had been with him the longest, had completely broken up with him because of the previous theft. In the end, Yang Fangsheng found that except for the old lady of the Yang family, there was no one with whom he could discuss countermeasures.
But as soon as the old lady of the Yang family heard that her son wanted to leave the house and wanted to do something to reverse the situation, she opposed it with all her strength and asked him to stay at the bedside of the old man of the Yang family, saying that she was trying to make the old man happy. It was better than anything else, but Yang Fangsheng didn't think so, so he could only think about it secretly behind the old lady's back.
Without those cunning friends, Yang Fangsheng couldn't even think of a decent way. In the end, he could only plan to use the Yang family's old man's position in the funeral chamber of commerce to deceive the Chu family first.
When Chu Yi saw the visitor, he looked very strange. He was in his thirties or forties, with a somewhat fat figure, a protruding belly and a slender face. No wonder Xue Changshan had an intuition that this person was not a good person.
He was wearing a lavender satin gown, which was the most popular among the children of wealthy families, but when it was put on him, it only made people feel a little bit nondescript. At this time, he was pacing impatiently in his shop.
The two young men behind him were wearing gray shirts. One was tall and the other was short. I wonder if they were his followers. They also looked like scoundrels.
Chu Yi led his wife into the counter and asked calmly: "You guys don't look like you are here to buy paper money, but are you okay?"
Yang Fangsheng tilted his head, raised his chin slightly, and asked with some disdain, "Are you the boss here?"
Facing the other party's obviously provocative gesture, Chu Yi was not annoyed. He just calmly helped his wife sit down on the chair behind the counter. However, he did not respond to the other party's question. He just asked: "You guys haven't said anything yet." What are you here for?"
The two men in gray blouses were followers of the Yang family. They usually followed Yang Fangsheng in and out. They were used to pretending to be powerful, so they had to show off at times like this.
"You don't even recognize our third master. Do you know the largest paper money workshop in the county? Yang Ji belongs to our third master's family!"
As soon as the young couple heard the word "Yang Ji", they immediately understood the identity of the person in front of them. As for the purpose of their visit, even if they couldn't guess the reason, they knew it wasn't a good intention.
Although the young couple had a lot of thoughts in their minds, they didn't show it on their faces. They just said "oh" lightly, as if the other party just said, the weather is nice today, as normal. .
Another follower was not willing to let his companion stand alone in front of his master. When he saw this, he threatened and said, "Oh shit, you know our master's identity and you still serve him carelessly?"
After saying this, he saw no response from the young couple across from him, and continued impatiently: "Are you deaf? I said you are a shabby shop, do you still want to work in it? You are a colorless thing, our master is here I don’t even know how to move a chair, but I can sit comfortably!”
Chu Yi's hand, which was arranging the paper money, hit the counter with a bang, and then said coldly: "My family is in the business of dead people. Except for my own family, the living people in this shop are always standing still."
For the sake of keeping. "
"you……"
Before the follower could say a complete sentence, Shen Luzhu retorted him directly: "What the hell are you? You speak like a master. I thought you were so filial as a grandson. After working for a long time, you are just a master. You talkative thing, you, the grandson, can't even treat your father well, why do you still expect to treat an outsider?
However, as we open our doors to do business, we cannot completely ignore the wishes of our customers. If you really don’t want your father to continue to stand in the future, there is nothing you can do. Go out and face the west. The coffin shop next to me also belongs to my family. Choose a good-quality coffin and put your father in it. This will ensure that he will be comfortable in the future and he will never have to stand again. This will help you. It's a filial piety, isn't it? "
When the attendant heard this, he turned around with a pale face and explained to Yang Fangsheng: "Master, I didn't mean that, I..."
But before he could finish speaking, he was kicked to the ground by Yang Fangsheng: "Shut your fucking mouth, no matter what your status, you are worthy of talking to me here!"
Yang Fangsheng blushed and cursed. He didn't know whether he was talking to the unlucky follower or Chu Yi and his wife.
After cleaning up the entourage that had made him lose face, Yang Fangsheng pretended to straighten his clothes, and said with a smile: "Boss Chu, don't talk about those useless nonsense, I'm here today, actually I'm here I’m reminding you, Boss Chu, you guys from the small place below may not know this, but I can’t blame you entirely.”
Since the other party wanted to show off, Chu Yi naturally had no reason not to accompany him, so he pretended to be willing to hear the details and said, "I wonder what the third master of the Yang family wants to remind us?"
"This county is not like the small place you had before. There are rules for doing business. Each trade has its own chamber of commerce. If you want to do business and open your shop, you must join the association and become your own person. Otherwise, Your family is the enemy of the entire business, and I’m afraid this shop will never stop opening.”
Chu Yi followed Yang Fangsheng's words and asked, "How dare I ask this chamber of commerce, how to join it?"
Yang Fangsheng finally felt better when he saw that the other party was relatively familiar. He shook the folding fan in his hand and said as if he was profound: "There are many people who want to do business and make a lot of money, and there are even more people who want to join our funeral chamber of commerce." Well, if no one recommends you, just a country boy, it would be an idiotic dream for you to join the association.
But luckily for you, my old man is the vice director of the Funeral Chamber of Commerce. Since everyone is involved in paper money business, I might consider recommending you some, but..."
Yang Fangsheng touched his chin as he spoke, pretending to be very embarrassed and continued: "It's just that not everyone is willing to accept this funeral chamber of commerce. You have to prove to the chamber of commerce that you have real ability, otherwise you will be accepted." If I don’t do a good job after killing you, wouldn’t it be a disgrace to our funeral chamber of commerce?”
"You have to ask the third master of the Yang family to tell you what you are really capable of."
Yang Fangsheng waved his hand and said: "This is not simple. We are going to do business. What do we rely on for doing business? It's not just money and family wealth. You donate a few thousand taels to the Chamber of Commerce. This is the so-called certificate of investment." , with this sincerity, my old man can recommend your family, right?"
Without waiting for the young couple to respond, Yang Fangsheng continued to talk to himself: "But I also know that your family comes from the countryside and has a small family background. I'm afraid you won't be able to afford so much money, but it doesn't matter. Your family still has craftsmanship. , although it is a bit troublesome, but my Yang family is willing to help you with this. As long as you tell me the craftsmanship and the recipe, with the size of my workshop, it won’t take long for you to earn back the money. Do you have any donated money?"
After hearing Yang Fangsheng's words, Shen Luzhu couldn't help but laugh out loud. This person really thought they were fools. How could he make money by giving his craftsmanship and prescriptions to others, and then he also wanted to pay the money he earned? Hand in hand, then what are they trying to do? They have so much money and nowhere to spend it, are they here to help the poor?
Although he was constantly complaining in his heart, Shen Luzhu was still cooperating with the other person on his face, thinking that he didn't know what shocking words this person would say later, so he pretended to be embarrassed and said hesitantly: "This is not good, okay? After all, the Yang family also makes paper money..."
Yang Fang
How could Sheng allow the duck in his mouth to fly again, so he quickly said: "My Yang family has been doing paper money business for I don't know how many years. Do you really think that we are interested in those gadgets of yours? It's just because we are all in the same industry. For my sake, I just want to help you. If you don’t want to join, just wait to be kicked out of the county by your colleagues from the Funeral Chamber of Commerce. Then don’t come again and ask my family to help you introduce me!”
Seeing that the young couple behind the counter still had no reaction and just turned their heads away from him, Yang Fangsheng changed the subject again and said: "You can go out and ask if there is a chamber of commerce in this county. You are a foreigner and are here. You want a piece of the pie, but you don’t want to pay a price. Who can tolerate you? Even if you don’t give this recipe to my family, it will be snatched away by other families in the future. It’s better to give it to me now, and my old man can help you get in. Chamber of Commerce, otherwise, we will go bankrupt and be driven out of the county with no money left."
Shen Luzhu was holding back his laughter. It was really hard. In order to prevent him from laughing out loud, he had been turning his head to look at Chu Yi from the beginning. Chu Yi reached out and squeezed his wife's hand under the counter, not intending to accompany her anymore. The performance continued, and then he turned around and said seriously: "The third master of the Yang family is a bit alarmist, isn't it? Our shop has been open for more than a year now. Apart from you, the Yang family, I have never seen anyone with more malicious intentions towards my shop. Speaking of which, wasn’t it also your Yang family who made counterfeit copies of my copper coins and burned paper and deliberately lowered the price?”
Shen Luzhu also hugged his shoulders at this time and asked with more interest: "Or is it that your family is divided into three parts, a chamber of commerce and a colleague who wants to help us, and at the same time, you are also the one who stabs the back? I have to say, the Yang family The abacus was being played so loudly, I'm afraid your ancestors who are lying underground heard it. I really don't know if they would be proud to have children and grandchildren who are as good at calculating as you, or if they just think about it, they feel embarrassed and wish they could die again. For once, it’s better to cut off the relationship with this unworthy descendant like you.”
Yang Fangsheng's purpose was exposed, and he suddenly shouted angrily: "Do you think I am trying to scare you? If you don't give the prescription to our Yang family, believe it or not, I will let the chamber of commerce kick you out of this county tomorrow, and you will pay compensation sooner or later. There won’t even be any bones left, and then everything will belong to my Yang family!”
Shen Luzhu chuckled and said, "If the third master of the Yang family really had this ability, he wouldn't have put in so much effort to get offended by me, wouldn't he?"
