Chapter 367: Porcelain Work
After Mr. Xu got his wish and stuffed a group of people into Xu An'an's yard, Xu An'an had just seen a good body, and he was angry again, and he was bedridden for several days, and he invited several Lang Zhong to see that there was no improvement.
At this time, all the big and small stewards of the Xu family rushed to the Xu family, because of a major event - a batch of goods transported back from Jiangnan was robbed by water bandits.
After Mr. Xu learned of this bad news, he was so angry that he fell ill, so the Xu Mansion became leaderless.
Manager Xu was lying on the bed "dying", but he was still "concerned" about the robbery of the goods, and struggled to order: "No matter what, the goods must be redeemed!" He couldn't lift it in one breath and fainted.
With this superb acting skills, Xu Anan, who has pretended to be sick for more than ten years, is afraid that he is beyond his reach.
Xu An'an's illness, which has dragged on for more than ten years, cannot be cured immediately, so only two women, an elderly lady and an ignorant young grandmother, are left in the Xu family to participate in the discussion.
"This batch of goods was booked in advance to the major commercial banks, and they all paid the deposit, and we also signed a liquidated damages agreement." Steward Liu, who was sitting first on the left, said, "Losing money is a small matter, and losing trust is a big deal!" ”
"Although the goods are not worth a lot of money, what has the Xu family relied on to do business all these years?" Steward Zhao, who was second on the left, continued, "Just a 'letter' word. So, no matter what, we're going to get the goods back! ”
"Then let's hurry up and go to Jiangnan to order a batch?" Steward Zhang, who was sitting on the right, thought about it and said, "Our Xu family has a lot of friends with major commercial houses, so it's always okay to ask them for a few days, right?" ”
"Steward Zhang, you don't know anything." Steward Li next to him said earnestly, "In this batch of goods, the main thing is raw silk. This year, the weather was not good, and there was a locust plague, and the harvest of raw silk was not good, and this batch of raw silk was received at twice the price of usual. Now on the market, even if you have money, it will be difficult to buy it! If Wanjia Textile doesn't have this batch of raw silk, how can they produce fabrics, they don't produce fabrics, so what do our cloth stores sell? ”
"But these water bandit lions opened their mouths and asked for 100,000 taels of silver!" Steward Sun, who was sitting in the third place on the left, said distressedly, "Our batch of goods is worth a total of 20,000 taels, and double the compensation to Wanjia Textile is only 40,000 taels, so it's more cost-effective than giving water bandits!" ”
"Have you forgotten that there are also a steward and twenty men on board!" Steward Zhao, the second on the left, reminded, "If we don't pay the ransom, what will happen to these people?" ”
"We don't want the goods, we can't ignore the people who do things for our Xu family. So, the ransom must be paid. The old lady who sat in the main seat finally spoke. At this time, she has changed her previous appearance and kind eyebrows with smiling eyes, and has become very calm, calm and serious.
Then she looked at the steward sitting in the column one by one, and said, "Then who do you think is more appropriate to send to pay the ransom?" ”
Everyone fell silent all of a sudden, after all, in their eyes, the word "water bandit" represents cruelty and killing, and if they are annoyed, they are afraid that they will die without a whole body.
Steward Liu, who was the first on the left, sighed with emotion: "It's a pity that Mr. Xu is sick, otherwise he would definitely take on this important responsibility." ”
Yu Xiaohuan said: Where do you see that he is so noble?
With the first person opening, there is the second.
Steward Zhao on the left said again: "It stands to reason that this kind of thing must be more suitable for someone from the Xu family to come forward." Just ......"
Just what?
Yu Xiaohuan was unconvinced for a while, and immediately stood up and said, "I'll go!" ”
Everyone looked at her in amazement, thinking that they had just heard a big joke. Who of them here doesn't know, this young grandmother of the Xu family only knows how to eat, drink and have fun all day long, and there is no virtuous virtue and three from four virtues of everyone's ladies.
The old lady looked at her in surprise and said, "You're going?" ”
Yu Xiaohuan smiled at the old lady and said, "They said that it would be appropriate for the Xu family to go, but my husband is seriously ill and my grandmother is old, who else can I be?" ”
"This ...... I think we'd better discuss this with Mr. Xu. The steward said again.
"Manager Xu is seriously ill, and he faints once he says a word, so don't disturb Manager Xu to rest." Yu Xiaohuan said heartlessly, "What's more, although Mr. Xu's surname is Xu, he is not the Xu family in your mouth, is it possible that we can let others work for our Xu family?" Besides, people are now mud bodhisattvas crossing the river and it is difficult to protect themselves, our Xu family has always been generous to others, how can we push people out to prevent disasters at such a juncture, isn't it? ”
The steward's face turned blue and white when he heard this, and he lowered his head and did not dare to speak again.
The old lady raised her eyes to look at Yu Xiaohuan and asked seriously, "Are you sure you want to go?" ”
Yu Xiaohuan nodded solemnly. These people obviously wanted to take the opportunity to elevate the position of Manager Xu, but Yu Xiaohuan was not as they wished, so she took it hard to see what they could say.
After the meeting, Yu Xiaohuan returned to the room and informed Xu Anan of the matter, Xu Anan was so angry that he almost got angry.
"How can you be so sloppy?" Xu Anan scolded angrily, "Why don't you drag it out first and make a decision after discussing it with me?" ”
"I, I'm ...... in a fit of anger" Alas, suddenly seeing Xu An'an's sick man angry, Yu Xiaohuan suddenly felt a little cowardly, but she quickly straightened her waist and replied confidently: "I'm not for you, for your Xu family, you are so embarrassed to murder me, you have the ability to come up with a better way!" ”
Xu Anan was stunned for a moment, speechless for a long time. He did, indeed, didn't seem to have come up with a better way.
"Don't you think it's a bit too hasty?" Xu Anan calmed down and said.
"Yes." Although Yu Xiaohuan was angry, he also nodded honestly in agreement, "There are many stewards below who are already on Xu Fugui's side, you have to quickly find a way to find out." This time, they should be looking for an opportunity to show Xu Fugui and let everyone see his sincerity and ability. Therefore, I was not as good as he wanted, who told him to want to go to the next level and pretend to be sick to hang other people's appetites, I simply took this porcelain job directly, and directly shattered his wishful thinking. ”
"But in that case, you're in danger." Xu Anan looked a little distressed about his wife.
But Yu Xiaohuan doesn't care! For her, death is life, and it is just a matter of surviving in a different place in a different time, space, and place.
"I'm not afraid!" Yu Xiaohuan patted his chest and said.
Alas, to have the aura of the protagonist is to be capricious!
Hey, when did I become the main character? Yu Xiaohuan floated for a moment.
