Chapter 82: Potential Threats
With Xie Lingyun's intelligence, she naturally understood the intention of her cousin-in-law Hong Feiyun to say these words, but she also raised her head, and said with a somewhat reluctant smile: "Sister-in-law is right, the Xie family still depends on me to continue, so it is impossible for me to marry, and I will definitely recruit in the future, compared to it, my cousin is very suitable for Zhou Gongzi!" ”
"That'...... That's not good, I heard that Zhou Chong was engaged to someone a long time ago, if it weren't for the death of his father Zhou Hai, I'm afraid he would have been married a long time ago, how could I marry him? Zheng Youyi's eyes were a little erratic. In fact, she also wants to get married, and from all aspects, Zhou Zhong is very in line with her criteria for choosing a son-in-law, and she is also very talented, so she cheered up the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce again in just a few days, for such an excellent person, if Zheng Youyi is not moved, it must be false.
"What's wrong with the engagement, anyway, I didn't get married, and I also inquired, although the Wang family who was engaged to Zhou Chong also has some power, but that Wang Lun has long been cut to the people, and the power is already much worse than before, plus if Zhou Chong can marry Youyi as his wife, he will definitely be able to form a close alliance with our two families, which is naturally undesirable for their Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, I believe that as long as Zhou Chong is not a fool, he will definitely not refuse!" Hong Feiyun was very confident.
As soon as Zhou Chonggang came to Shuangyu Port, he subdued Sun Tong, Sanniang and Uncle Huo, the old men of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, and then destroyed the Jeolla Chamber of Commerce and the Shangquan Chamber of Commerce, so as to win the hearts of the people. Hong Feiyun saw all this in her eyes, in her opinion, Zhou Chong is definitely not an ordinary person, he has some ambitions in his heart, and this kind of person knows how to make trade-offs, if Zhou Chong marries Zheng Youyi, it is equivalent to marrying the Xie family and the Hong family, which is undoubtedly a big help for Zhou Chong, so Hong Feiyun will be so sure.
Xie Lingyun heard her cousin's words, although she thought in her heart that Zhou Chong would not be a villain who quit the marriage for the benefit of the Chamber of Commerce, but her relationship with Zhou Chong was very delicate now, and she was worried that Hong Feiyun would misunderstand her meaning, so she could only smile and say nothing.
However, Zheng Youyi heard that her sister-in-law wanted Zhou Chong to withdraw from the marriage first and then marry herself, but she was a little unhappy and said: "How can it be done, if Zhou Chong withdraws from the marriage today for his own interests, what is the difference between it and Chen Shimei, today he can withdraw from the marriage of the Wang family and marry me, and the day after tomorrow he can divorce me to marry someone else for the sake of other greater interests, so if he really withdraws from the marriage, I will not want this kind of man!" ”
Hearing that her cousin was so profound, Xie Lingyun couldn't help but be secretly happy, and at the same time, she felt a little relaxed for some reason, as if she had finally let go of a big stone in her heart. At this time, Hong Feiyun wanted to say something more, but saw Zheng Youyi stand up and said: "Sister-in-law, it's not easy for you to come once, I know that you must have a lot to say to your cousin, anyway, I can't understand what you say, so I went to find my brother, you can talk!" ”
After Zheng Youyi finished speaking, she turned around and ran out, which made Hong Feiyun want to stop before she could speak, and she could only sit back on the chair helplessly, turned her head and complained to Xie Lingyun: "Look at your cousin, what such a big girl does is in a hurry, she is carved out of the same mold as her brother, how can she marry out of Lu like this?" ”
Xie Lingyun had to comfort after hearing this: "Cousin, don't be like my cousin, she is originally a big grinning character, speaking of which, I still learned from you, but didn't you also find a good man like my cousin to be your husband?" So I think my cousin is looking very good now, the reason why I haven't found the right person yet, it's just because fate hasn't arrived, and when fate arrives, maybe you and my cousin can't stop it if you want to. ”
Hearing Xie Lingyun say that Zheng Youyi's personality is like herself, and she also used her as an example, Hong Feiyun couldn't help but have nothing to say, because this is indeed the truth, their aunt and sister-in-law are indeed very similar, they are both very arrogant, usually informal, and behave like a man, and Zheng Youyi has been very close to her all these years, so a large part of her character is influenced by herself.
"Alas, forget it, everyone has their own blessings, it's useless for us to worry about it, everything depends on Youyi's own fate." After the last moment, Hong Feiyun sighed and said. After Xie Lingyun next to her heard her words, she couldn't help but sigh a little: My cousin's fate hasn't come yet, I don't know when my fate will come?
But soon Hong Feiyun thought of the business of coming to Xie Lingyun today, and said with a serious face, "Lingyun, the Beigang Tea House has completely changed, with the posting of the shipping list and the purchase list, the transaction volume over there has skyrocketed, and even some of our old customers in the two port areas have gone to the Beigang District in order to sell the goods as soon as possible, what do you say we should do?" ”
Xie Lingyun smiled after hearing this, stretched out her hand and tasted the teacup before saying: "Cousin-in-law, what's so difficult about this, the reform of the Beigang Teahouse has not carried people on its back, so what we have to do now is naturally to send people to stay in the Beigang Teahouse, find out all the new means they have introduced, and then we will follow the cat and the tiger in our teahouse!" ”
Hearing Xie Lingyun's words, Hong Feiyun did not show a relaxed expression, but still said with some worry: "Lingyun, the matter of the teahouse is easy to solve, but have you thought about it, Zhou Zhong is the same age as you, and he has just taken over the business of the Chamber of Commerce, and he has already shown such extraordinary talent, if he is familiar with the operation of the Chamber of Commerce, he will definitely shine, and then how should the two of us deal with ourselves?" ”
Xie Lingyun couldn't help but sigh in her heart after hearing this, what Hong Feiyun could think, how could she not have imagined that Zhou Chong's series of actions to take over the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce had been beyond her expectations, and even she never thought that Zhou Chong, who was a scholar, would have such an outstanding business talent, not only united the remnants of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce in just a few days, but also reformed the port teahouse that had been inherited for many years, which made the transaction volume of Beigang increase greatly in a short time. Although the strength of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce has not yet recovered, its reputation has gradually risen, and even many people are full of confidence in Zhou Chong, the young owner of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, thinking that he will definitely become a "Zhou Nanyang" who is even better than his father.
"Cousin-in-law, it's a little too early to think about this, although Zhou Chong has reformed the Beigang Teahouse, but in fact, it has not increased much income, and it is not so easy for the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce to fully restore its strength, not to mention that the power of Beigang is complicated, and there are many Japanese and North Koreans, if the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce really has a great increase in strength, it will definitely have a conflict of interest with them for the first time, so it is not our turn to be anxious for the time being!" I saw Xie Lingyun thinking about it for a long time, but the most relieved tone was relaxed.
"Lingyun, how can you not be in a hurry, Zhou Chong has just come to Shuangyu Port, and he has shown such a sharp side, and the destruction of the Jeolla Chamber of Commerce and the Shangquan Chamber of Commerce has added a lot of prestige to him, if he doesn't want to find a way, the other party is likely to unify Beigang, Beigang is originally the largest port area in Shuangyu Port, even if the two of us join forces, I'm afraid it will be difficult to compete with the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce!" Although Hong Feiyun looks very arrogant on the surface and has a very hot temper, she is a long-term person after all, and she also has a very long-term view of some things.
I saw that Xie Lingyun still showed a disapproving expression after hearing this, and said: "Cousin-in-law, you are too worried, with the current situation of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, how can it be so easy to come back to life?" And even if Zhou Zhong can temporarily stabilize the position of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, isn't there still an Ashikaga Chamber of Commerce in Beigang? That is the shogun's Ashikaga family's weakest strength, we have all suffered losses at the hands of the Ashikaga Chamber of Commerce before, not to mention the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce that is now suffering serious losses in strength. ”
When he said this, Xie Lingyun suddenly showed a smile on his face, paused and then said: "In addition, we have begun to intervene in Beigang, and there is also an eyeliner buried in secret, according to the report of this eyeliner, Zhou Zhong's series of actions in Beigang have attracted the attention of the Ashikaga Chamber of Commerce, the chairman of the Ashikaga Chamber of Commerce, Ashikaga Kazuki is an old and cunning person, with the shrewdness of the other party, he will definitely not let the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce recover, so we just need to wait to see a good show." ”
Hearing that Xie Lingyun didn't seem to be optimistic about Zhou Chong, Hong Feiyun glanced at her a little strangely, and there were some doubts in his heart: Xie Lingyun has always been very sensitive to business matters, especially those potential threats, and has always liked to strangle them in the cradle. Now that Zhou Chong's performance has posed a threat to the two chambers of commerce, according to Xie Lingyun's previous temperament, even if he doesn't know how to make a move, he will definitely make a stumbling block for the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce in secret, and he will definitely not react so slowly!
Xie Lingyun also saw the suspicion in Hong Feiyun's eyes at this time, but she could only pretend that she didn't see it, and still tried her best to maintain the calm on her face, let alone give any explanation.
Hong Feiyun stayed at Xie's house for a whole afternoon, and only in the evening did he quietly return to the Hongjia Chamber of Commerce in Xigang with his children. And after sending Hong Feiyun away, Xie Lingyun returned to her room, and then sat gently by the window and stunned, I don't know how long it took, only then did she suddenly sigh: "Zhou Chong, your performance is really beyond my expectations, I thought that I could control the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce through you, but I didn't expect it to help the dragon enter the sea, and now that you have become a wing, what should I do with you?" ”
