"Liu Dong, what's going on?"

As soon as Cheng Yangyang arrived in the city, he went to the backyard to find Liu Dong and asked him what was going on.

"Boss Cheng, I don't know what's going on, but when Brother Yacha came yesterday, his tone was very good, and he didn't say anything, so I asked you to go to Xu's Mansion when you were free. ”

"That's good, as long as you don't arrest me and ask about something!" Cheng Yangyang heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief, "Then I'll go now, if I don't come back before dark, you can find someone to go to Xu's Mansion and ask." ”

She hinted.

"Okay!" Liu Dong understood what she meant, "Then Boss Cheng, be careful." ”

Cheng Yangyang and Liu Dong arrived in front of Xu's mansion together, and after Liu Dong handed over the things in his hand to her, he left.

"Hello, I'm Cheng Yangyang from Cheng's Department Store, Lord Xu sent someone to find me yesterday, and I will come to visit today", she explained to the little guy at the door, and the guy asked her to wait outside, and he went in to report.

After a while, the little servant appeared at the door again and welcomed her in.

"Miss Cheng, please!" The little girl led her all the way into the house, and Cheng Yangyang turned several doors before finally arriving at the front hall of the Xu Mansion.

Xu Weimin had been sitting in the front hall for a long time, drinking tea and waiting for her, and when he saw her come in, he put down the teacup in his hand.

"The folk girl has seen Lord Xu!" Cheng Yangyang saluted him slightly.

"Miss Cheng, I haven't seen you for a long time!" Xu Weimin had met her a few times before because of the prince, but they hadn't seen her since the famine last year.

Although he hadn't seen her, he had heard a lot about her!

"It's a people's girl, it's a long time ago to visit Lord Xu", hearing him say that he hadn't seen him for a long time, Cheng Yangyang immediately understood, she took the fault on herself, and took the things in her hand forward, "Lord Xu, this is some specialties of the people's daughter's family, and I hope Lord Xu won't dislike it!"

"Miss Cheng is polite!"

Xu Weimin motioned for the housekeeper to step forward and take the things in Cheng Yangyang's hand, "Show Miss Cheng tea!"

Cheng Yangyang found a place to sit down, and the maid of Xu's Mansion served her a cup of tea, yes, she can finally drink tea from a big family!

It seems that this Xu Mansion is much more polite than that Zhou Mansion!

"Lord Xu, the folk girl has been in the countryside recently, and I only learned yesterday that Lord Xu sent someone to Cheng's Department Store, I don't know what happened to Lord Xu looking for the folk girl?"

She is a cloth cloth, she doesn't steal or rob, she does business honestly, what can he do with her!

"Miss Cheng, don't be nervous, the official didn't have anything else to do with you, I just wanted to talk to Miss Cheng", Xu Weimin looked at her with a smile and asked her not to be nervous.

"What does Lord Xu want to talk to the people's daughter?"

"That's the case, as the parent official in the town, this official has recently heard some people's voices about Cheng's Department Store from the city, and I hereby want to ask Miss Cheng", Xu Weimin asked her directly, "Cheng's Department Store has risen recently, why has the price increased?"

Huh? That's it?

Isn't it her right to raise the price? And she didn't rise so much, so she just raised a few pennies, is this also condemnable?

"Lord Xu, I don't know what Lord Xu means?" she looked at him with a joking expression.

Xu Weimin also knew that he shouldn't have asked this kind of small question, but he had to ask it again!

"Miss Cheng, this official is really helpless", Xu Weimin looked at her with some embarrassment, "Recently, many mansions and people in the city have reacted to the official's subordinates, saying that your Cheng family department store is more expensive than before, and they all want you to give an explanation." ”

It turned out that someone reacted!

"Dare to ask Lord Xu, who reported this matter to the government?" she wanted to see if this matter was really public opinion or if someone deliberately wanted to oppose her.

"Miss Cheng doesn't have to mind this matter too much, it's just a few small opinions, and the official is just conveying it for the people, and has no other meaning. ”

Xu Weimin refused to say it, which means that the reaction to this matter may be some mansions with more status in the city, such as the Zhou Mansion.

There is no way, she has only offended the Zhou Mansion before, and the only thing she thought of was the Zhou Mansion at the first time.

But what she didn't expect was that the Zhou Mansion would use this method to try to use the government to pressure her, let her lower the price and make less money?

But her price is already very conscientious, the price did not increase before because the weather was warm, she has a lot of goods, and now it has risen slightly, because the weather is cold, and those goods are cost!

"Lord Xu, you also know that it is a cold winter, whether it is crops, vegetables, or meat, it is not the most suitable time to grow, at this time, our Chengjia Department Store can still have goods, how much cost does it have to cost, we have to raise some prices!"

She said sincerely and helplessly, this is the truth, if he doesn't believe it, then he can't help it!

Xu Weimin has been an official in a small place for many years, he knows about those things in the field, and at this time in previous years, no one could grow anything, and he also knew that it was difficult for her.

But I just don't know who she offended, let those people in the city sue him, and if he doesn't talk to her this time, those people in the city will not give up.

"Miss Cheng's is not easy, the official knows that Miss Cheng will continue to do more things for the people in the town in the future, but you can do things, but don't be too rushed!"

He hinted at her.

What does he mean by that?

Her style of doing things had always been like this, and she couldn't remember who she had collided with.

"There are a lot of businessmen in our town, and Miss Cheng should also communicate with everyone more, everyone can learn from each other's experience, so that business can become bigger, and our people's lives will be good!"

Xu Weimin hinted again.

This time, Cheng Yangyang understood what he was talking about, and she had refused the invitations of those mansions in the city before.

Did they start to look down on her from that point on? Just because she wouldn't get a piece of the pie with them?

"Lord Xu's lesson is that the folk girl should change her way when she goes back, and this time Lord Xu bothered!"

Cheng Yangyang pretended to be modest on her face and promised it, but she didn't plan to be forced to lower the price and cooperate with others under pressure.

If she accepted them, not only would the people of Shimen Town not be happy, but it would be even more difficult, these people in the city only cared about their own interests, but no one really thought about the ordinary people.

Cheng Yangyang came out of Xu's Mansion and saw that Liu Dong at the gate of Xu's Mansion hadn't left, she walked towards him, "Let's go, go back to the store!"

Looking at her relaxed face, Liu Dong knew that she should be fine.

"Boss Cheng, what did Master Xu tell you?" he was still curious.

"It's nothing, just ask us about the price increase", she replied succinctly.

"What does our price increase have to do with the government?"

"Of course it has nothing to do with the government, but it has something to do with other people in this city!"
