"As for the Tian family, Tian Shichuan, the eldest member of the Tian family, serves as a doctor in the examination department of the Ministry of Civil Affairs in Kyoto."
Don't underestimate this doctor who is only a fifth-rank official. This official position has real power. The performance and promotion of officials above fourth rank are all related to this official position.
It can be said that the examination doctor is one of the most powerful fifth-rank officials. For this official position, one must at least be treated according to the standards of a third-grade official.
Generally speaking, anyone who can serve as a doctor in the exam department must be a close confidant of the Minister of Civil Affairs.
Otherwise, it will not be arranged in this key department at all.
"Who is the Minister of Civil Affairs?"
Gu Qingjue smiled, looked at Su Yixin, and said, "When did you become interested in these matters in the DPRK?"
"It's not that I'm interested. It's just that you are going to pursue an official career after all. I know something in advance so I know how to deal with it."
For someone like Gu Qingjue who has no foundation, it would be best to be a pure minister.
But they had a relationship with Zhao Jin from the beginning. This year, I don't know whether it is intentional or not, but the relationship has become closer and closer.
Gu Qingjue seemed not to object to contact with Zhao Jin.
"The current Minister of Civil Affairs, Liu Zi, was a Jinshi in the second year of Jingde. He worked hard throughout his life and is a good official."
Gu Qingjue's comments indicate that it is possible for Tian Shichuan to become an official. However, I don't know whether the Zhang family's confrontation with the Tian family is just because they are jealous of the Tian family's prosperous business, or whether it involves more.
Tian Qingyao's health improved quickly.
The Tian family's business is booming day by day, especially as the weather gets hotter. The Tian family's desserts Snow Meiniang and Strawberry Shake Milkshake are sold out every time, and orders placed in advance are queued up half a month later.
The Zhang family looked jealous.
After more than half a month of investigation, the Zhang family finally knew who produced the Tian family's new products.
No, not long after Su Yixin came out of Yishangfang that day, she was blocked by Mrs. Zhang: "Miss Su, if it's not a hurry, let's go sit in the teahouse in front?"
"OK!"
Mrs. Zhang came to her, as she expected.
The two of them walked towards the teahouse not far ahead. The sun was scorching hot. When they arrived at the teahouse, they were already sweating. It was only now and it was already so hot.
It’s really hot in the dog days of summer.
If there wasn't something going on in the shop, Su Yixin wouldn't want to go out.
After sitting down in the private room, Mrs. Zhang called for a pot of herbal tea, poured a cup for Su Yixin herself, and then said: "Miss Su, I saw you for the first time at Tian's flower viewing party a month ago, and I knew you were awesome. Sure enough, the Tian family has made a fortune these days, and it’s all thanks to Miss Su.”
Su Yixin secretly used the Qi of the Five Elements to cool herself down, then picked up the herbal tea in front of her and drank it in one breath.
So happy, your thirst is quenched!
Seeing that Su Yixin didn't answer, Xie Chunliu could only lick his face, and then praised Su Yixin: "Miss Su, you have so many ideas, isn't it a loss if you only cooperate with the Tian family?"
Su Yi was pleased to see that Mrs. Zhang finally got to the point, put down the tea cup and looked at Xie Chunliu.
"Mrs. Zhang, if you have something to say, you might as well say it!"
"Oh, Miss Su is still happy, so let me tell you straight. Do you want Miss Su to consider cooperating with the Zhang family? Don't worry, there is no conflict with the Tian family. How can the Tian family cooperate? On this basis, the Zhang family will add another 10%. Not 20%, what do you think?"
"Mrs. Zhang, do you know how I cooperate with the Tian family?"
Xie Chunliu shook his head.
She doesn't care how Su Yixin and Tian Huilan cooperate. In short, if the Tian family can afford it, her Zhang family can also afford it.
"The Tian family's conditions are 50-50. In addition, excluding desserts, I will share 10% of the profits from other desserts in the shop. Mrs. Zhang, you said you would add 20% to the Tian family's basis, that is 30-70. I will get 70%, and you will get 30%." , I will share 20% of the profits from other desserts. Is this kind of cooperation acceptable to you?"
Every time Su Yixin said something, Xie Chunliu's face darkened.
She couldn't accept 50 to 50 cents. How could she accept 30 to 70 cents and also have to share the profits from her shop? How could this be cooperation? This was clearly free prostitution.
"It's impossible for the Tian family to sign such an agreement. Miss Su, just say it if you don't want to cooperate with the Zhang family. Why bother telling me this."
Su Yixin knew that Xie Chunliu wouldn't believe it.
He calmly took out the contract he signed with Tian Huilan from his storage bag and placed it on the table.
The contract was written in black and white.
Xie Chunliu, the matron of the house, was naturally literate. There were not many words on the contract, so she read it quickly.
Also read clearly what is written in the contract.
She really didn't expect Tian Huilan to be so generous and even equal to Su Yixin.
Su Yixin just came up with a formula, so she would take half of the money.
Why don't you go and grab it!
"What, do you still want to cooperate with me?"
Xie Chunliu smiled and didn't know what to do for a while.
Without cooperation, it is not an exaggeration to see the Tian family's business becoming more and more prosperous day by day, making money every day, which makes people jealous.
If you cooperate, half of it will be taken away by the little girl in front of you.
After much thought, I couldn't make up my mind.
In the end, the cooperation naturally fell through. Xie Chunliu took the maid away angrily. Even the tea money was paid by Su Yixin.
Yili behind her: "..."
I've never seen anyone so picky.
If you invite someone over for tea, you should go ahead and ask the guests to pay.
Yili held an umbrella and muttered: "Girl, you don't want to cooperate with her, so why are you wasting your time trying to deal with that person? You're wasting dozens of coppers!"
Su Yixin chuckled and said, "Why, what I just said to Mrs. Zhang is not worth those copper coins?"
"Of course, Mrs. Zhang's words are nice, but when I look at her face and see the contract, I almost yelled at you, saying that you robbed me of money!"
"She just thinks that I just gave her a recipe and she can give her half of it without doing anything. Of course it hurts."
Who would have thought that some things, just ideas, are valuable. Without her formula, it would be hard to earn even a copper plate, let alone a daily income.
"Yes!"
That's not what that person thought.
From this we can see the difference between Mrs. Tian Er and Mrs. Zhang.
After getting on the carriage, there was an ice basin on the carriage, which was slightly cool. Su Yixin leaned aside, closing her eyes and thinking about Xie Chunliu's words.
There was nothing wrong with what she said.
But when she came to him, she revealed the information that the Zhang family had been forced into a desperate situation.
If cooperation with her fails, it is very likely that he will go to extremes, such as the last time he encouraged the Fu family to take action against the Tian family.
This time, how will the Zhang family deal with the Tian family?
After returning home, Su Yixin immediately asked Luo Wushang to go to Zhang's house and keep an eye on it. Sure enough, in the middle of the night, the Bagua Mirror on the second floor of Zhang's house quietly moved its position. Not only that, but the sinister aura brought from elsewhere would also pass through. The Bagua mirror reflects into Tian Huilan’s yard.
The next day, news came out that Tian Huilan was seriously ill.
