By smashing the shop, Zhao Xiaoxi can be regarded as realizing the necessity of expanding his power.

It's just that she is a small village woman, and it is too difficult to make herself a little powerful. Gu Xiangting didn't know where he heard the news, so he sent someone to send a letter back from the capital, only saying that he had a friend in the rivers and lakes, who was specialized in the silk reeling machine business, and if Zhao Xiaoxi needed it, he could meet with that Xia Zihou official at the beginning of next month and have a good chat.

Later, it was also said that Xia Zihou had a property in Fengle Town. Zhao Xiaoxi has never heard of Xia Zihou's name in the town, this is probably another big guy, buying houses and land everywhere?

However, Fengle Town is also quite large, and several of the houses already have owners. But no one has ever been there, probably the house of Xia Zihou is one of them.

It seems that Gu Xiangting has already negotiated with the big guy, and is waiting for Zhao Xiaoxi to meet him. If it had been put aside, Zhao Xiaoxi might have refused. After all, it is still written on this that Xia Zihou is a bastard, a black boss. In the rivers and lakes, fighting and killing, it feels unreliable.

But now is a special period, Zhao Xiaoxi needs such a powerful person to help him, and he can't continue to be bullied. She was ruthless and quickly replied with a letter, to the effect that she was willing to talk about business with Xia Zihou.

As long as the negotiation is agreed, the contract can be signed soon.

Xiao Jingrui knew about this, and he opposed it for the first time.

A few people were sitting in the courtyard, originally picking vegetables, but as soon as Zhao Xiaoxi mentioned this stubble, Xiao Jingrui's face changed: "One Gu Xiangting is already troublesome enough." The lady still wants to cooperate with another person in the rivers and lakes? ”

Forehead. Zhao Xiaoxi sneered and pulled the corners of his mouth: "Why not?" He specializes in selling silk reeling machines, and we will set up a silk reeling factory in the future, but we don't have to ask for silk reeling machines? Although he had already entrusted Director Long, he also said that the person he was looking for produced a silk reeling machine that was not enough for us. It just so happens that this Xia Daguan is in the silk reeling machine business, why should we go far? Isn't that just the right thing to do? ”

"People in the rivers and lakes can't climb." Xiao Jingrui became more and more determined, seeing that Zhao Xiaoxi was still looking like he was about to move, he sighed: "What does the lady think?" ”

"Our shop has been smashed, so we have to find some backers, right? If we keep being bullied like this, we won't even think about opening the door to do business in the future. ”

Seeing that these two people were about to quarrel, Shun Niang hurriedly became a peacemaker: "If you have something to say, it doesn't matter who the other party is, let's do it right!" It is impossible to do without some power, especially in a place like the capital, if you have no power, isn't it just being bullied? ”

"For the time being, it will be better in the future." Xiao Jingrui's eyes were scorching, and he stared directly at Zhao Xiaoxi's small and delicate face: "But if we have an unnecessary relationship with the people in the rivers and lakes, if we want to break off the relationship with them in the future, we won't be able to." ”

"I think people who are messing around aren't necessarily bad people. Those who look like dogs, but know how to stab knives in the back, isn't it good? I don't know how many people in the capital are staring at us, can we not learn some self-protection skills? If you are afraid that you will be affected in the future, I don't want you to get involved in this matter, and I won't delay the matter by myself. ”

Seeing that Zhao Xiaoxi was really angry at this time, Xiao Jingrui had no choice but to relent: "What is the lady talking about?" We are husband and wife, what is the difference between what you do and what I do? I just think it's not good, the lady is going to do long-term business, and this reputation is the most important. ”

"I know!" Zhao Xiaoxi glanced at him twice and sighed: "Our reputation is already very good, but now we are being bullied, aren't we?" Shall we just swallow our anger? I can't stand a day like this. Since it was introduced by Gu Daguan, it was naturally not bad. Besides, that person has a house in Fengle Town, so he should also be a down-to-earth person. ”

"Then listen to the lady!" Although Xiao Jingrui said so, he still thought about making second-hand preparations in his heart.

They are husband and wife, and they can't always be the same impulsive. Zhao Xiaoxi didn't understand the sinister rivers and lakes at all, and the business in the capital was ruined at this time, so he messed up.

The more you get to this point, the more you have to be calm and calm.

Soon it was time to meet Xia Zihou, and the two sides agreed to be in the evening. Fortunately, now Zhao Xiaoxi and the others live in the town, and there is a night market, even if they talk about business in the middle of the night, Zhao Xiaoxi is not afraid.

The location is in the largest mansion at the east end of the town.

The sunset wine is far away, and the wind and rain go down to the west building. When the couple entered the house, they were amazed by the spaciousness of the place.

But there should be no one in normal times, and there are still a lot of weeds in it, and there are a few guys cleaning up in it at this time. The two of them were taken to a courtyard at the back by a figure who looked like an official, and it was neatly tied, and the rooster could be faintly heard.

As soon as he entered the house, Zhao Xiaoxi was amazed by the aesthetics of the owner of this house, which was really decent.

The windows in the house are more distinctive, and they look like the kind of room that is used exclusively for private schools. When you open the window, you can see a small garden, which is full of flowers, red, purple and purple intertwined, strange and beautiful.

This is the second floor, which seems to be specially used for entertaining guests, tea and snacks, everything is available. But Zhao Xiaoxi only drank tea and didn't eat snacks. The host's family should be quite busy, and after waiting for a long time, I didn't see half of the person show up.

After sitting for a while, Zhao Xiaoxi stood up and looked out of the carved window. The yard is planted with evergreen trees, young and old leaves are intertwined, layered and faint, and you can also see the roof of an unknown building opposite.

Probably a temple, right? Zhao Xiaoxi could still hear the bell. There are three or two bowls under the maple tree, and a group of chickens and ducklings come to peck at them, and I don't know what kind of flowers are planted on the side, red ones, big ones, like a few clusters of small flames. Xiao Jingrui couldn't do it calmly, sat on the side, and waited quietly.

Seeing that Zhao Xiaoxi was like a little monkey, looking around, he smiled: "Lady, this hibiscus cake, but you love to eat it." ”

"I just want to get the business done quickly." Zhao Xiaoxi looked at Xiao Jingrui with black lines on his head, dare to feel that this man thinks she is a foodie or what? She smacked her lips, and just as she wanted to continue to refute, there was movement outside.

After a while, a man from the 1st of the tall horse came in. His gaze was more sharp, first glanced at Zhao Xiaoxi, and then his gaze fell directly on Xiao Jingrui.

Various facial features indicate that the person has a strong liver and is only one step away from having a seizure. However, he knew early on that this person was a mixed black, and Zhao Xiaoxi was also a little mentally prepared.

"You're a Xia official, right?" Zhao Xiaoxi rubbed his hands and smiled at him very politely: "I have admired the name for a long time!" ”

He still didn't turn his gaze to Zhao Xiaoxi, looking at him like that, it seemed that he fell in love with Xiao Jingrui at first sight? Zhao Xiaoxi's heart was sudden, and when he saw Xiao Jingrui standing up very calmly, he smiled at him: "Xia Daguan? ”

"You should be Second Master Xiao, right?" Xia Zihou's attitude towards Xiao Jingrui can be called respectful, which makes Zhao Xiaoxi feel a little frustrated, grandma's, hope card business is all played under her Zhao Xiaoxi's banner, why does this person seem to be running for Xiao Jingrui?

She was thinking about it in her heart, but these two people actually talked about it directly. She was originally the No. 1 debater on the positive side, and now she can only be reduced to a substitute? She listened depressedly, but in the end, she silently gave Xiao Jingrui a thumbs up in her heart.

What this guy talks about, they are all the best of the best, and they are amazing.

"My lady means to cooperate with Xia Daguan." Xiao Jingrui smiled politely at Xia Zihou, his eyes did not dodge, and his posture was neither humble nor arrogant: "But I think that cooperation is cooperation, and the relationship does not have to be long-term." ”

"I mean it's all about the long term." Xia Zihou's pair of gloomy and compassionate eyes glanced at Zhao Xiaoxi at this time: "We are not only doing the business of silk reeling machines, but also others. For example, the Hope card is a multifaceted business, and sooner or later there will be a place for us. ”

"All we want at the moment is a silk reeling machine." Xiao Jingrui put on a posture of "not giving in", and spread his hands: "If Xia Daguan is willing, we can sign the contract as soon as possible." Our partnership ends when we pay the money and deliver the goods. ”

"What? Second Master Xiao doesn't look down on us as a fool? Xia Zihou was a little angry at this time, and his face was red, and he became more and more red at this time: "Although we are old rivers and lakes, we also act according to the rules, no worse than those official masters." ”

"We know that." Zhao Xiaoxi also knew Xiao Jingrui's good intentions, so he was naturally unwilling to disobey him, and he was happy at Xia Zihou: "We are also a small business, once we have a bad relationship with our partners, we will terminate the contract." At that time, we paid liquidated damages, which was also a relatively large expense. We can't stand this. If there is a need in the future, he will definitely look for Xia Daguan. ”

Speaking of which, it is tantamount to giving Xia Zihou a step down. In the end, he still wants a face, and he also knows what it means to accept it when he sees it. He smiled and nodded: "I heard that Zhao Xiaoniang is shrewd and capable early on, and when I saw it today, it was really extraordinary." Since both of you are only willing to cooperate for a short time, it depends on your wishes! ”

After all, he was the person introduced by Gu Xiangting, and he didn't have the barbarian habits of the people in the rivers and lakes, so it seemed to be righteous at this time.

As he spoke, a series of hurried footsteps were heard outside.
