It happened to be a day of heavy rain, and most of the people in the town had nothing to do. A few people were talking vigorously when they heard a shrill sound coming through the two walls.

I don't know who is barking, the voice is straight and hard, and it looks like going to a large slaughterhouse, where pigs are being slaughtered and sheep are slaughtered there.

In the end, there was still Shun Niang, a pregnant woman, in the house, in order to avoid fright, and warn the troublemakers outside, Zhao Xiaoxi frowned and poked his head to look outside.

It was raining heavily, but there were a dozen or so people standing outside.

Standing in front of him was Zhao Xiaoxi's old acquaintance Xu Linhuan. Even if someone helped that Miss Xu with an umbrella, she was still frozen half dead.

I probably took care of beauty when I came, and I didn't bring a few thick clothes at all. It should be a good makeup, so her makeup hasn't been completely spent, but the layer of powder that doesn't match her skin tone is a little vague, and it can't stop swaying on her frozen purple flesh.

"What are you looking at me for?" Realizing that Zhao Xiaoxi's eyes had been lingering on her face, Xu Linhuan felt inexplicably ashamed. She realized that when she faced Zhao Xiaoxi, she actually had a sense of cowardice, which made her feel very unhappy, and her dark face looked at Zhao Xiaoxi: "My third brother asked me to ask, do you want the brand to have any new products recently?" ”

Probably because of the effect of the previous perfume completely letting Lin Zhenger sell, Xu Zhi couldn't calm down, so he sent his own sister to grab the first-hand new product authorization.

It's a pity that Zhao Xiaoxi has been busy with the night market recently, and although he has a plan for the new product, he has not yet implemented it. At this time, Xu Linhuan came over to ask for new products, but Zhao Xiaoxi couldn't take it out.

"Not yet, it will be in a few days." Zhao Xiaoxi let Xu Linhuan into the shop, and kindly poured her a bowl of ginger soup. This is prepared by Sister-in-law Fu, because of this capricious weather, the big guys are easy to catch colds, so every time they go out and come back, they have to drink a bowl.

Probably really frozen, Xu Linhuan was no longer willful at this time, pulling his clothes and drinking ginger soup. When his body warmed up a little, he looked at Zhao Xiaoxi and said, "I heard that your Fengle Town also has a night market under your leadership?" "Xu Linhuan is unwilling to believe that Zhao Xiaoxi can have such a strong ability, and it is difficult to build a night market, how can a mere Zhao Xiaoxi have such a clever method?

"The market opened yesterday, and Miss Xu is a step late." Zhao Xiaoxi was very polite, and looked at her with a smile: "People from other towns have also come to join in the fun, and there are a lot of people." ”

Several girls and mothers-in-law next to them also came up and talked lively. Yesterday's grand occasion was described as best they could.

Through the superficial language of these people, Xu Linhuan can also imagine how lively it was last night.

"Let your family come in and take shelter from the rain!" Zhao Xiaoxi is walking the Bodhisattva road at this time, and he doesn't want to be embarrassed by others, looking at those people, one by one is like a chicken in the soup, pitiful.

Hearing Zhao Xiaoxi say this, Xu Linhuan pretended to be confused and didn't say anything.

Yes, Zhao Xiaoxi is a good person to the end, and invited them all in, one person and one bowl of ginger soup.

It was probably because the journey was too hard, and the individuals who followed behind were depressed, their clothes were not fit, and their bodies were full of uneven folds. At this level, it's not as good as the people in their town!

"By the way, Miss Xu, there is one more matter, I want to tell you first." Zhao Xiaoxi thought of the matter of the lady Zhong, and smiled uncontrollably: "That exquisite girl, is the daughter of the fourth rank of the court?" ”

"yes, what? You want to slap her? Xu Linhuan pouted, with a look of disdain: "It's a pity, the threshold of other people's mansions is high, and you can't climb it." ”

"I didn't mean to climb the high branches, but yesterday the mother of the Linglong girl came, saying that she wanted to cooperate with us and came to discuss business." Zhao Xiaoxi deliberately told this matter in a tepid tone, and seeing that Xu Linhuan's face turned green after hearing this, she knew that her own purpose could be regarded as achieved.

She stood up angrily and glared at Zhao Xiaoxi fiercely: "You lie to people, her mother is in the capital, how could she run to this corner of Fengle Town?" Moreover, their Zhong family has known for a long time that my third brother is cooperating with you. The competition of many Baixianglou in the capital is enough to respond to people, how can they also intervene? ”

This is interesting, it seems that Xu Zhi and Lin Zhenger are just superficial friends. Inside, there is also a scramble, and there is a lot of trouble. The battle between the men was choppy and even more terrifying.

They are all people who are floating in the business field, how can they do things according to their preferences? That's all about feelings, buddy is angry, and he earns a ghost's silver tael? Just listening to Xu Linhuan's words, he seems to be very sure that even if the Zhong family is a businessman, he will not steal business with his third brother.

"What's the name of the saying? Money often unmakes the men who make it. Everyone is a businessman, and all they think about is making money, your third brother can cooperate with me, and he has made a lot of money, they look at it, and the night market has. Zhao Xiaoxi looked at Xu Linhuan's increasingly gloomy face, and a sense of pleasure rose inexplicably in his heart.

This eldest lady of the Xu family, every time she relies on her family background, she is domineering. This time she was calculated by her friend's mother, and that feeling should be even more pathetic.

Xu Linhuan thought about it for a long time, and the more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she became, she glanced at Zhao Xiaoxi, and hummed for a long time: "If I want to do business with you, don't you have to sign a contract first?" You also know that a big family like the Zhong family, how can you be at your mercy? Agreed to sign a contract? ”

If you want to negotiate business with Zhao Xiaoxi, you must not only sign a contract, but also be completely equal. She seems to be gentle and unpretentious, but in fact she is stubborn, and she habitually pretends to be confused.

Xu Linhuan hadn't discovered these traits before, but she only reacted after Xu Zhi had analyzed them. Anyway, no matter what happens, this person is not easy to get along with, and ordinary big families can't stand her temperament.

At the beginning, Zhao Xiaoxi's root An Lingzi made trouble, and insiders saw it really well.

"The rarest thing is this, I also told Mrs. Zhong about signing a contract, guess what, what Mrs. Zhong said?" Zhao Xiaoxi first made a fake move, and then without waiting for Xu Linhuan to answer, Zhao Xiaoxi continued: "She really agreed, I also thought, how can someone like them be willing to sign a contract with me?" ”

"She willing?" Xu Linhuan couldn't stay at all at this time, and exhaled angrily: "Impossible, from the beginning to the end, the Zhong family said that they would not steal business with my third brother, Linglong is bent on marrying my third brother, and now they are beating up, don't their Zhong family want this marriage?" ”

No wonder! Zhao Xiaoxi understood when he arrived here, and he was still curious before. How can a fourth-grade official bow down to an official lady who is a little lower than the threshold of their family? Could it be that Xu Zhi has already used a beauty trick? Zhao Xiaoxi didn't dare to guess, and was inexplicably a little excited.

Seeing Zhao Xiaoxi so happy, Xu Linhuan was anxious and angry, like a man in his back, like a fish in his throat, and like sitting on pins and needles! The Zhong family said that they were not interested in Zhao Xiaoxi, but in fact, they were doing things behind their backs. She was a little anxious, and she couldn't figure out Zhao Xiaoxi's thoughts: "Then do you mean to cooperate or not to cooperate?" Let me tell you, the eldest lady of the Zhong family is not a simple person, if you offend her by doing something in the future, you will die sooner or later. ”

"I haven't figured it out yet." Zhao Xiaoxi didn't answer, and the smile on his face slowly turned into a pale color: "Everyone knows that business in the capital is difficult to do, and if you want to expand the scale, you must find more partners." ”

"Then you have to find a reliable partner, right? Who in the capital doesn't know that the Zhong family's business is not clean. Little lady Zhao, I advise you, don't have too much appetite, be careful of being strangled to death! She refused to stay longer, and went out with people.

The rain outside was loud, and Zhao Xiaoxi was disturbed by her words. The one is called Miss, and her words are not coarse. Looking for a partner, it is indeed necessary to find a more reliable one. The Zhong family is too strange to her.

She was going to Baixianglou in the afternoon to ask Lin Zhenger, but just after lunch, Gu Xiangting came, holding the layout of a rookie post station in her hand. He was doing a routine job, and he came on an errand on the orders of their old lady.

He first talked to Zhao Xiaoxi about setting up a rookie post house in the northwest, seeing that Zhao Xiaoxi's mind was floating, he didn't listen to his words at all, and he was also a little moved: "Zhao Xiaoniang, don't you want to listen?" It's all your business. ”

"I'm sorry, I've had some trouble lately." Zhao Xiaoxi was a little embarrassed, thinking that Gu Xiangting had been in the capital for so long, and he knew a little bit about the things in the capital, so he hurriedly said: "Do you know the Zhong family in the capital?" The fourth rank of the court, Zhong Li's home. ”

"Yes." Gu Xiangting nodded, with a look of impatience on his face: "Small door, small family, not enough to worry about." ”

"Is the four-grade master still a small household?" Zhao Xiaoxi was stunned, and felt that Gu Xiangting was playing tricks: "The eldest lady of the Zhong family came from the capital specially to talk to me about business. ”

"Oh!" Gu Xiangting sneered, not caring: "Little lady Zhao had better not agree, their family's business is not very innocent." Besides, now that you are cooperating with the Gu family, and you have a life-saving grace for me, relying on a tattered commodity like the Zhong family to open up the business territory in the capital, it is better to rely on our Gu family alone. Zhao Xiaoniang may not know yet, right? Gu Fujin, the largest money bank in the capital, is our Gu family's industry. ”

"What's that?" Zhao Xiaoxi's heart jumped suddenly, and the purple potato ball that had just been stuffed into her mouth was swallowed directly by her.
