The old man shook his head, sighed, and stopped talking.

The old man contracted the entire Juxian Building, there are twenty-three members of the Tea Merchants Chamber of Commerce Alliance, all of them are relatively successful tea merchants, one-third of the outsiders who come to Beijing to do business, and there are also tea gardens in various places, although the scale is not as large as Longxing, but it is also a pivotal figure in the tea shop.

When the old man and Yin Le arrived, everyone had already arrived. Before the old man sent the post, they had already received the news, so as soon as Yin Le came in, everyone's eyes were focused on her.

Yin Le found that most of the eyes gathered on her body were disdainful and contemptuous, and there was an indifferent smile on the corner of her mouth, and she followed the old man to take a seat.

Before the old man could speak, the businessman sitting next to the old man spoke up: "Old Liu, this matter is too sudden, we discussed it privately just now, and we don't approve of it." ”

Yin Le looked over and saw that the person who spoke was about fifty years old, with gray hair, two mustaches, sharp eyes, and a thin body sitting next to the old man, who looked even shorter than the old man.

The old man looked around the audience, and before he spoke, everyone said together: "We all agree with Brother Yang Bai!" ”

The businessman named Yang Bai continued: "If you feel that you are old and inadequate, you can choose a new president, our tea culture has a long history, and President Ren must have a strong understanding of tea, not just a person who comes up and says that he can serve as the president." Besides, her background and qualifications really insulted the position of president. After that, he squinted at Yin Le, his expression quite contemptuous.

The old man was a little stunned, he didn't expect the opposing opinions to be so unified, and even a few people who were close friends with him privately now expressed their opposition. He suddenly felt hopeless, and couldn't help sighing: "The old man has a reason to do this, my huge Longxing Tea House can be handed over to her to take care of, can you not believe the old man's vision?" ”

Yang Bai laughed and said, "We naturally believe in Liu Lao's ability to pick people, or Grandma Sun does have something extraordinary, but this ability is not enough to serve as the president of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance." Although it is said that this position was established by our people themselves, once replaced, it is necessary to report to the imperial court, and the Guangchu Division (the palace is responsible for the treasury, and receives silver, leather, porcelain, satin, clothing, and tea. It will also be recorded on the other side of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and it is not easy to say that people will be replaced. ”

"The old man naturally knows, but the Guangchu Division will not care about these things for us, as long as we can give us good tea in time." What he wants is for the Guangchu Division to be recorded, otherwise, how can he tell the world that Long Yin Le is the president of the Tea Merchants Alliance? The people of the world will also know that she has already married a wife, and if the emperor thinks about it again, he will rob the wives of the people.

"Having said that, if we elect a woman to be the president, won't we make the other business alliances laugh at us?" Yang Bai was dissatisfied. In the end, this is the key, who would want to accept a woman as their head? Wouldn't that tell the others that they had no one to do with the tea merchants, and let a woman come forward?

Yin Le smiled slightly, "Don't be impatient, the little woman has prepared some gifts, please smile." She turned back to Hongyan and Moyan and said, "Give gifts to all the masters, remember, don't confuse the name." ”

Yang Bai said contemptuously: "Young Grandma Sun is really good at being a person, but this matter can't be compromised by giving some gifts, unless Young Grandma Sun has the ability to convince us." ”

"Why don't you take a look at the gifts first? Perhaps, everyone will change their minds? Yin Le picked up the teacup and took a sip quietly, "Tea is good tea, but unfortunately, on this day, you should drink some cold soup that is off the fire to remove dryness." ”

Mo Yan and the others used this to distribute the brocade box to the people present, and when everyone opened the brocade box, all their faces changed sharply, and they were full of anger, and immediately closed the brocade box, looking restless and a little frightened.

The old man was a little strange, and looked at Yin Le with inquiring eyes, but Yin Le just drank tea lightly, did not make a sound, and did not have any expression on his face.

The scene was as silent as death, and even the sound of breathing could be heard clearly.

Yin Le smiled, "You have seen the gifts, I don't know if you have any objections to our old man's proposal?" If you have one, say it quickly. ”

A tea merchant in his sixties stared at Yin Le, and a sentence popped out from between his teeth: "The old man is wise, I believe that Grandma Sun can lead everyone to a new field." ”

"We, no objection!" When everyone saw that someone was speaking, they also said together, and most of them were like ashes, but there was only one person with expectation and surprise written on his face. He is about the same age as the old man, his eyes are kind, his name is Chen Duda, and he has done good deeds all his life, so he has cultivated kind eyebrows and good eyes.

Now it was the turn of the old man to be shocked, he stared at Yin Le with wide eyes, Yin Le smiled, stood up and raised the cup of tea, "This is very good, I hope to cooperate happily in the future!" ”

Everyone's faces stiffened, but they didn't dare not stand up, and raised the cup in their hands, "Happy cooperation!" ”

Although the dishes are rich in this meal, most of them are people who believe that they don't know the taste of food. The old man was full of doubts, and he didn't know how to eat, he was ready to persuade them one by one, but the matter was solved so easily. He knew that the crux of the problem was the gift that Yin Le gave out, what kind of gift could make everyone so scared? He couldn't help but think of Chen Pingyuan's matter, Chen Pingyuan was willing to spit out the silver in his hand because of a letter, and even now he has not left Beijing, he has been thinking about asking to see Yin Le, it was Yin Le who pushed him three or four times, he was not angry, he kept waiting. Could it be that this is not a gift, but a handle for everyone?

The old man has been upright all his life, and he definitely doesn't use other people's handles to threaten people, but now I have to admit that if I don't do this, I'm afraid there will be no better way.

Yin Le seemed to see his thoughts, and whispered in his ear: "Extraordinary times, use extraordinary means!" ”

The old man nodded silently, he was still hesitant in his heart, but now he is very down-to-earth. It is not an easy task to be able to master the handle of more than 20 people in two hours. And she actually did it, Longxing handed it over to her, and the tea league handed it over to her, I believe there will be no mistakes, and she may be able to do better than herself.

After the banquet was dispersed, everyone left the table one after another, and most of their faces were not good. Only the old man named Chen Duda stayed, he walked into Yin Le and asked softly, "Can the fifth grandmother really find her lost grandson for the old man?" ”

"Elder Chen gave me a month, and he will definitely be informed of his whereabouts." This Chen Duda is the only one who has no handle, the only weakness is that he lost his only grandson many years ago, and now his son and daughter-in-law have died, he is alone, with thousands of family fortunes, but there is no heir, he and the old man, are different types of sorrow. The old man has many children and grandchildren, but there is no one to rely on.

"Thank you so much!" Chen Du's big eyes were red, tears were dotted, and he had no hope when he was old, just looking forward to getting together with his relatives.
