039 Jindu Chamber of Commerce: isolated
This chamber of commerce election is unlike any other. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info due to the arrival of Lord Yuan on the order of the Municipal Bureau, a group of members of the Chamber of Commerce arrived at the election site early.
Twilight only brought Mu Jiu with him on this trip. Mu Jiu saw this kind of scene for the first time, and he was curious and nervous, and he followed the owner without looking at him, for fear that people would see the joke and lose face to the owner.
There was laughter in that place, Mu Jiu looked at a few bonsai, and saw several business house owners flattering around Liu Erye, Liu Erye said "Don't dare, don't dare", "Awards", but there is no modesty.
Mu Jiu swept over without stopping, and his face was silent with seven points of twilight, but his heart was slandered.
Before leaving, the owner said that Liu Erye took over the huge family business of the Liu family, and he was very proud, and it was natural for him to enter the Chamber of Commerce. She thinks that Second Master Liu is a villain, and it will not end well.
"Huh?"
Twilight Yang heard Mu Jiu cry in surprise and looked at the door, the woman who twisted her waist and looked charming was not the head of Ling Yuelou - Hua Niang!
They were not the only ones who were surprised, many people pointed at the flower girl and talked about it. Several bosses who were standing in a chat with Twilight whispered, "Why is she here too?"
Hua Niang contemptuously gave a defiant look in the direction of the twilight sun, and went straight to the place where Liu Erye was in the center of the field.
Mu Jiu was a little uneasy in his heart, thinking that Hua Niang must have obtained a letter of recommendation through the hand of Liu Erye, she had always been at odds with the owner, and this time she entered the Chamber of Commerce in a grand manner, she must have to work against the owner!
In a blink of an eye, seeing that the owner of the workshop continued to greet people calmly, and did not take Hua Niang's provocation to heart at all, Mu Jiu thought again: The owner has not seen any storms, Hua Niang has just entered the Chamber of Commerce, and the foundation is unstable, how can it be compared with the owner?
Soon, the city bureau ordered Lord Yuan to come with Haiwei, the lord of the government. Lord Yuan was clean and boneless, and he only said that he came to watch the grand event, and there was no need to care about his presence, and the election was held in a normal way.
After the fifteen business owners who were interested in the position of the president of the chamber of commerce took turns to speak, Lord Yuan nodded slightly, thinking that he was very satisfied. Lord Hai sat beside him, silent. This can be distressing to the people who take the ballot papers below, and the hand holding the pen is repeatedly entangled.
Twilight looked at the other side, Hua Niang had already written the ballot, ordered the little maid next to her to vote in the ballot box, and then looked back at her with a confident face. When Twilight picked up the pen and wrote, he asked Mu Jiu: "Is the girl next to Hua Niang a small lamp?"
Mu Jiu nodded yes.
Twilight's vote went to Yang Yixing of Yang's Jewelers, Yang was in charge.
When singing the ticket, Mu Jiu felt that his heart was in his throat, but Twilight Yang was only faint, because the afternoon was the main event. It is no surprise that Liu Erye and Yang Dangjia and other seven people were selected as candidates for president.
At the luncheon, the seven candidates sat at the same table with Yuan and Hai. The little guy who arranged the seat was very eye-catching, and he didn't arrange Dusk Yang and Hua Niang at the same table. And to Duiyang's surprise, Hua Niang's flirtatious temperament regardless of the occasion has actually been restrained, and even occasionally echoing and praising Second Master Liu is just right, which is really strange.
Twilight couldn't help but once again set her eyes on the low-eyed but humble servant girl behind Hua Niang.
While talking and laughing, some people keenly analyzed that the two adults had a good impression of the two candidates, Yang and Liu. Yang's jewelry firm is not as rich as the Liu family, but in terms of personal relations, it is good friends with many dignitaries and dignitaries in the imperial city of Jinling, and has been rooted in the Jindu City for decades, and its strength is no worse than that of the Liu family. What's more, now the helmsman of the Liu family has been replaced by Second Master Liu.
And Liu Erye is exquisite, wealthy, and good friends everywhere. Everyone knows that everyone here has benefited from him to a greater or lesser extent.
Mu Jiu quietly asked Dui Yang if she needed to secretly remind Yang Dangjia so as not to fall into the way of Second Master Liu?
Twilight shook her head. Yang has been in business for decades, and he has walked more bridges than they have walked, so how can he be inexperienced? As for other people, the four sisters of the Chu family have already mentioned it last night.
However, once a hundred secrets are sparse, there will eventually be accidents.
After another fierce competition, Liu Erye and Yang Dangjia's votes were evenly matched, and there was a tie. Everyone looked at each other and couldn't help but be stunned.
At this time, a small guy ran in from outside, and apologized in embarrassment: "Lord Yuan, Lord Hai, and everyone, I'm really sorry, my master is gone, and the little one has been looking for a long time before he finds that the master is drunk and unconscious again." ”
"Who is the master of your family?" asked Yuan with a tense face.
"Mengjia Winery in the south of the city, Meng Yixiang. ”
Hearing this, someone chuckled.
Master Hai also smiled, and asked him helplessly, "Where did you find him?"
The little guy was embarrassed for a moment, and replied: "Thatched house." ”
Suddenly, the hall burst into laughter, dissolving the fierce atmosphere of tension in Fang Cai.
Meng Yixiang is quite famous in the Chamber of Commerce, not because of his clever business methods, but because he is a real drunkard. Nine of the ten times the Chamber of Commerce got together to discuss matters, he slipped out halfway to relieve his drinking addiction, and he was drunk and messy.
It's just that I didn't expect that with Lord Yuan and Lord Hai present, Meng Yixiang would dare to be so presumptuous.
Returning to the election, everyone couldn't help but be helpless, Meng Yixiang was drunk, it was impossible for him to vote, but there was no room for two tigers in one mountain, and there could only be one president of the Chamber of Commerce.
In the end, it was proposed that the two adults, Yuan and Hai, make the final decision. Lord Yuan glanced at Hai Wei, who was still sitting quietly in his position and waiting for him to speak respectfully. It is true that in terms of official rank, it is true that only he has the right to speak.
He laughed and said, "The Jindu Chamber of Commerce is full of talents, and today's election is really amazing. The position of president of the Chamber of Commerce not only represents honor, but also has the responsibility to lead you to develop and grow Jindu Commerce. Yang and Liu have their own merits, and this official and Hai are the same as you, so it is really difficult to choose. This official has a proposal, why don't you hold a vote for the two of you again in three days, what do you think?"
Lord Hai echoed: "The matter of the Chamber of Commerce is indeed for them to solve on their own, and the lower officials think that your lordship's proposal is very good." ”
Everyone said yes again and again.
Chu Xiao said that the city bureau ordered the inspection on behalf of the day, and the itinerary was relatively tight, and it was estimated that he would leave in the afternoon. Sure enough, Lord Yuan then said with regret: "This official will leave for the south immediately, and he will not have the opportunity to participate in your grand meeting in three days." I hope that you will continue to adhere to this principle of openness and fairness, always put the future of Jindu commerce and trade first, and be a model for the first chamber of commerce in our dynasty. ”
When it ended, the sedan chair was parked outside the gate. Everyone said goodbye to each other and went home.
"Twilight owner, concede. Hua Niang stood in front of the sedan chair with a smile and raised her eyebrows proudly.
Twilight lifted the sedan curtain and responded with a smile: "You're welcome." ”
As soon as he turned around, he got into the sedan chair.
※※※
At night, Ling Yuelou held a banquet to entertain everyone in the Jindu Chamber of Commerce, but Duyang did not receive the invitation.
Twilight didn't pay attention to it, but was quite leisurely and leisurely to play a few games of about a thousand lines. Playing against the masters, her chess skills have improved a lot. The chess game was in full swing, and Mu Jiu hurriedly ran over, a pair of deer eyes sparkling brightly.
"Owner, it's not good. Sister Mu Yi said, Hua Niang didn't send a post to the owner because she looked down on our moon fan shop, it was too deceitful, and she was clamoring to go to the other door to make trouble......! I can't stop ......."
Mu Jiu's voice became smaller and quieter, and Twilight Yang asked without raising his head, "And then?"
"I saw that I couldn't stop it, so I simply stopped stopping it. Mu Jiu scratched his earlobe, a little embarrassed, "Hua Niang is showing off her martial arts, it's good to teach her a lesson." It's just that Sister Mu Yi saw that I didn't stop her, but she didn't go, saying that she didn't want to cause trouble to the owner. ”
Before Dui Yang answered, it was Qianxing who couldn't help but laugh and asked her with a chuckle, "So, why are you in such a hurry?"
"Oh, it doesn't seem like anything. Mu Jiu replied in a daze, and then glanced at the owner cautiously, wondering if she shouldn't have run so indiscriminately.
"Mu Jiu, what do you think about Hua Niang?"
Coldly, Twilight opened her mouth to ask her, she was stunned for a moment, a little flattered, more unexpected, bowed her head and said timidly: "I...... I don't know. ”
Twilight fell and gave her a rare look: "Be bold, whether it's right or wrong, just say it." ”
"Yes. Mu Jiu took a deep breath and said while thinking, "Hua Niang's entry into the Chamber of Commerce is completely based on the power of Second Master Liu, and in the Chamber of Commerce, she has no foundation except Second Master Liu. In order to seek future development, she wants to tighten the big tree of Liu Erye. In today's chamber of commerce election, Liu Erye entrusted the fortune of the Liu family's foundation to compete with the Yang jewelers, and in the final analysis, his relationship with everyone at the foundation of the chamber of commerce is just duckweed. In the election three days later, Liu Erye needs to borrow strength. Therefore, the top priority of Hua Niang's banquet should be to pull votes for Liu Erye. He was elected president of the Chamber of Commerce, and this credit was hers. ”
She suddenly raised her head and said in surprise: "Hua Niang, is this going to isolate the owner?"
Twilight smiled and gave her an appreciative look.
Mu Jiu thought about it, frowned slightly, and said to himself: "If Sister Mu Yi makes trouble in the past tonight, this will certainly be relieving, but it will make others look down on our Moon Fan Fang." It is better to see the move! Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Ling Yuelou deliberately targeted the Moon Fan Workshop, and if the Chamber of Commerce will see you in the future, there is no need for the owner to show mercy. ”
Qianxing noticed that Twilight was pinching the chess piece in meditation, but there was a smile on the corner of her mouth. Originally, the same members of the Chamber of Commerce should not fight infighting, but Hua Niang deliberately acted first, and Twilight's future counterattack was not only logical, but also a little "unavoidable".
At the end of the game, Twilight lost again without surprise. Seeing that Mu Jiu was still standing on the side, he sent her down. When Mu Jiu was leaving, she asked again, "Do you know how to deal with Mu Yi in the future?"
Mu Jiu replied with a smile: "Got it." Sister Kiyi is a tiger without claws. ”
When the cold moon is in the sky, the autumn is deep.
Twilight sorted the chess pieces with Qianxing, and heard Qianxing ask her, "Do you intend to cultivate Mu Jiu?"
Twilight smiled but didn't answer.
