Chapter 91: Reluctantly Signing a Contract
The reason why Zhao Siniang put forward such harsh conditions was actually to test Zhou Zhangshi and explore the bottom line of Su Ji Commercial Bank to Zhao's shop. Now the result is ...... Although she didn't know what Su Ji's purpose was, her intuition told her that she must not sign it.
Seeing this, Zhou Zhangshi's eyes flashed slightly, and then he smiled: "This is not mine." This contract is different from the last short contract, at least you have to ask the Li Zheng of your village to be a witness. ”
Old man Jiang saw that Zhao Siniang was reluctant to sign the contract, and he was arrogant and strange, and when he heard what Zhou Zhangshi said, he praised in his heart: It's still his granddaughter's thoughtfulness! So he got up busily, planning to go to the village to invite Jiang Wu after he lost his voice with Zhou Zhang.
Seeing this, Zhao Siniang hurriedly stopped Old Man Jiang and shook her head to signal that he didn't have to go. She understands very well that Su Ji Commercial Bank can do so big, it must be very comfortable in the government, and the contract signed with his family has little to do with whether it is witnessed or not. To be pessimistic, even if something happens in the future, it probably won't be in the contract itself.
"As our No. 1 commercial bank in Youzhou, Suji Commercial Bank's reputation is unparalleled, and its reputation is praised. Our family is naturally trusting, so there is no need to go out of their way to invite Lizheng. Speaking of this, Zhao Siniang, who had nothing to do, decided not to beat around the bush anymore, and asked directly: "Can Zhou Zhangshi say clearly to Siniang, why does Su Ji Business Bank have a good eye for our shop?" Please forgive Siniang for being stupid, I really can't figure it out. After that, he seemed to pay attention to Zhou Zhangshi politely, but in fact, he didn't let go of any subtle expression on his face.
However, Zhou has been in charge of the shopping mall for nearly 30 years, and he has long practiced the ability to be invisible, and Zhao Siniang, who is not as deep as him, wants to see something from his face, which is extremely difficult.
I saw that the old god in charge of Zhou was on the ground and said: "Our owner is indeed very kind to you. Miss Zhao was able to turn a small straw shed into a large-scale shop in just one month, and she could also make the disgusted coarse grain into a popular fan, can this ability not make our host look at you differently? Our owner has always been very accurate, and he believes that as long as he establishes a long-term cooperative relationship with Miss Zhao, he will definitely get more than unexpected returns. Therefore, before leaving, he specially explained to me that all the conditions proposed by Miss Zhao were met. Just say yes as much as you can. Seeing that Zhao Siniang still didn't believe it, Zhou Zhangshi added: "Miss Zhao, just rest assured, not only for your family, but also for potential merchants." We all look at each other differently like this. ”
Although Xiao Fuyu couldn't see any clues from Da Fu's face, Xiao Fuyu still complained silently in his heart: Can your words be more fake? Although I vaguely heard that Su Ji Trading House was not an ordinary merchant and had a strong background, even the government did not dare to offend Su Ji easily. But I have reason to believe that if Su Ji treats all suppliers like Zhao Jiapu today. No matter how hard the background is, Su Ji will never be the first in Youzhou. There is no other reason, it is really not like a loser! Do you want me to rest assured? Your Su Ji's weird behavior is really reassuring!
When a large order comes to the door, the average person is overjoyed. But Zhao Siniang, who likes to think about the bad in everything, is a miserable fog in her heart. No matter how hard she meditated, she couldn't know Su Ji's true intentions, and she couldn't get a trace of inspiration from Zhou Zhangshi's "pure" face, which made her even more restless, and she felt like a disaster had fallen from the sky.
However, Zhao Siniang is very sophisticated and knowledgeable about current affairs, facing the powerful Su Ji. She knew very well that she couldn't help but take this order. So she gritted her teeth, stomped her feet, and finally signed the contract.
Zhou Zhangshi saw that the little girl's beautiful little face was full of entanglement, and he couldn't bear it, and he had the urge not to vomit or be unhappy, but because he had been strictly ordered before he came, he had to continue to remain silent.
However, before such a clear and unintentional concealment without any technical content, the deep and experienced shopkeeper Zhou still felt a little embarrassed, and hurriedly excused himself with another errand and offered to leave.
Zhao Siniang felt that this Zhou was in charge of the trouble. I wish he had left quickly. So she didn't do much to keep it, and together with her family, she happily sent Zhou Zhangshi out of the shop.
It is worth mentioning that in front of Jiang's family. Zhao Siniang specially asked Zhou to deal with the person who pretended to be dead lightly. Without any suspense, Zhou Zhangshi agreed.
As for the promise of Zhao Yongzhong's "watch and do"? She didn't take the opportunity to step on Zhao Chenglan again, even if it was to give her father face, and she still wanted her to intercede? Hmph, don't even think about it!
When she saw that Jiang, Zhao Sanlang and Zhao Shilang did not open their mouths to intercede for Zhao Chenglan from beginning to end, Zhao Siniang, who was worried, felt a burst of comfort and said secretly: It is enough to have her father at home as an unprincipled good man. She really can't bear to have a few more!
Seeing Zhou Zhangshi and his entourage driving along the official road towards the wharf, at the same time, everyone found that at the other end of the official road, Zhao Yongzhong and Zhao Sanniang, who went to the town to pick up the goods, also came back in a mule cart.
Since she had this mule cart, Zhao Siniang proposed to change the time to pick up goods in the town from the afternoon to the morning. She said it nicely, and she did it to free up more time to prepare for the next day. However, every time she went to town, she was looking around, which seriously delayed the return time.
Usually there is no comparison and it is not very visible, but Zhao Siniang did not accompany two days ago, and the time for Zhao Yongzhong to return to the shop was greatly advanced. This can prove how wrong Zhao Siniang usually is.
On weekdays, Zhao Sanniang would most likely seize this opportunity and beat her little sister hard. However, Zhao Sanniang, who was sitting on the mule cart at the moment, was in a very good mood, and there was always a smile on the corner of her mouth, if it weren't for her father's side, she would have laughed three times.
It is said that "good things don't go out, but bad things go a thousand miles." This is so reasonable. Zhao Sanniang originally thought that Zhao Chenglan's notoriety would not spread in Changle Town until at least the next day, but she didn't expect that when she was taking pigs from Sun Ji Butcher's Shop, she vaguely heard someone talking about how the proprietress of Xu Ji Tofu Workshop, Zhao, was a femme fatale. It's just that a few of the people who were watching before were able to stand here so quickly because they had mules and horses to travel to the town one step ahead of others, but there were definitely not too many people who passed the word. However, it is believed that with the arrival of a large number of villagers who came on foot to catch the market, before noon, Zhao Chenglan's notoriety will spread throughout Changle Town.
Zhao Sanniang, who was in a happy mood along the way, felt very pleasing to the eye no matter what she saw, but when she saw the gorgeous carriage that was far away, she felt a sense of disobedience in her heart.
What's wrong? Zhao Sanniang thought for a long time - there was no solution.
However, Zhao Sanniang, who was in a good mood, did not continue to dwell on this, but helped everyone unload the things in the car.
"Because I thought it would be better to send something practical, I bought 30 buckets of white flour and 60 catties of oil, and I also bought back half a piece of pig, planning to send a bucket of white flour, two catties of oil and a piece of pork to every villager who came to our house to help." Zhao Yongzhong said to Old Man Jiang.
Old Man Jiang nodded, and said, "That's good." In fact, he had something else to say to Zhao Yongzhong, but after thinking about it, it would be useless to say it now, but it might hurt his feelings in vain, so he endured it.
Zhao Yongzhong may want to be in a hurry, or he wants to thank Liang Ji for his employment over the years, or maybe he wants Zhao Yongxiao's life in Liang Ji to be better.
Thirty buckets of white flour and sixty catties of oil are nothing to a big grain shop like Liang Ji, and they usually don't deliver to their doors at all. However, it may be for the sake of Zhao Yongzhong's excellent performance over the years, Liang Ji's shopkeeper saw that Zhao Yongzhong's car was a single mule cart, and there were still a lot of things on it, for fear that his mule would not be able to carry it, so he offered to send these things to Zhao's shop. Therefore, his mule cart was closely followed by the double mule cart driven by Liang Ji's men.
The guy who came with him, Zhao Siniang, was a little impressed, and I don't remember his name, but it is certain that he is a villager from Zhaojia Village. Seeing him looking at Zhao's shop with curious and envious eyes, Zhao Siniang frowned slightly, complaining in her heart that her father was unreliable. However, she immediately thought that after the commotion in the morning, the old Zhao family would sooner or later know that they had opened a very profitable shop. I couldn't cover this matter anyway, and Zhao Siniang was relieved.
After sending off Liang Ji's buddies, Mr. Jiang told everyone that he had just signed a large order with Su Ji Commercial Bank, and he asked Zhao Siniang: "When the shop is collected at noon, I will go to the family to thank you, and by the way, I will take back the sweet potatoes and sweet potato flour in the village." It's just that this is not enough, I will go to the neighboring village next morning and try to collect as many sweet potatoes as possible. It's just that sweet potato flour is two pennies a catty, how much should I give this sweet potato? ”
Seeing that Zhao Siniang was silent, Zhao Sanlang said: "I think it's better to collect sweet potato flour directly!" After all, we have to make 2,000 catties of fans a day, and we have to be busy with things in the shop, where is the time to dry powder? I believe that the price is two pennies a catty, not only in our village, but also in the neighboring villages, after hearing the news, they will be happy to grind sweet potatoes into flour and send them to us. ”
"No, in other villages, only sweet potatoes are harvested." Next, Zhao Siniang said to everyone in a consultative tone: "I think so, now our family is not short of capital, instead of making a small fuss at home and working hard for your own family, it is better to pay for a fan workshop, and specially invite people to bask in powder and make fans."
