Chapter 108: Chapter 108: Dozing off, Someone Gives a Pillow (Part [-])

Chang Xi, who was signing a contract with a foreigner, felt that Youdao's gaze was looking straight at her. Although this gaze was not malicious, it carried a sense of inquiry, which made her frowned in displeasure. Could it be that someone else came Are you playing games?Xie Ming can't handle it?

She turned her head and looked at that gaze coldly, only to see a man smiling and nodding to her. This man was so familiar, she immediately thought of the fan that fell from the sky, and instantly remembered that the other party had a pretty face. Interesting name and character, Hara Tailiang.

Just, how could this person appear here?

She had doubts in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, as if seeing each other was a very common thing.

She first nodded politely at the other party as a response, but her eyes searched for an explanation, and she saw him standing with a middle-aged man, with a humble and respectful attitude, and the middle-aged man had an official look, and she noticed At this point, she paused, why did she attract the official at this time?
But soon she understood that there were many foreigners gathered here today, and the government was afraid of accidents, so it was reasonable to attract the official, but the official seemed to have a high official position, which can be seen from Xie Ming's attitude.

As for the identity of that Yuan Tailiang?
She quickly looked at Yuan Tailiang again, and saw that the young man had a good time talking and laughing with the middle-aged man with a strong sense of officialdom. His attitude was neither humble nor overbearing. She immediately squinted her eyes. Men are about the same, either because they have a tough background, or they cannot talk to their boss like this.

No matter what the situation is, this Yuan Tailiang is a person not to be underestimated.

I didn't want to provoke the other party before because I was afraid of causing trouble, but now, it seems that I can try to deal with the other party. After all, she is doing overseas business, and it is impossible not to deal with the government.

Because of tea bricks, it is not yet known how much the Shibo Division will tax.

Thinking about it this way, it might not be a bad thing to meet Master Guan now.

So, after she signed the contract with the foreigners she was currently negotiating with, she smiled and asked Nanny Luo to lead the servants to bring some refreshments that had been prepared to entertain everyone. This time happened to be afternoon tea, although there is no The concept of afternoon tea, but it does not prevent her from announcing an intermission for this reason.

Shopkeeper Guo and others also noticed the arrival of Mr. Zhang and the others at this time, and they immediately showed a little panic, and hurriedly got up to pay respects, fearing that they would be accused of impoliteness.

After Chang Xi arranged everything, she lightened her clothes and headed over there.

At this time, Mr. Zhang and Yuan Hao were surrounded by people, especially Yuan Hao. After learning that he was the newly appointed Mr. Secretary of Shibo, the shopkeeper Guo and others were even more enthusiastic, and they fought with this department. Good relationship, it will be much more convenient to sell your own goods to foreigners.

When Chang Xi walked over, he happened to hear shopkeeper Ma laughing, "Master Yuan is really young and promising, I really admire him."

This flattery was not very clever, but Yuan Hao still waved his folding fan and accepted it with a smile. Anyway, he is a new official, and he is not in a hurry to set the fire.

Shopkeeper Guo is not as flattering as Shopkeeper Ma and others, but his attitude is neither humble nor overbearing. From the corner of his eyes, he saw that Chang Xi had already passed, so he hurriedly made way for Chang Xi, and whispered to Chang Xi about Yuan Hao He signaled Chang Xi not to make a fuss in front of the official.

Chang Xi's eyes lit up when she heard that Yuan Hao was the Judicial Judiciary of the Shibo Secretary. This official position is good. She really dozed off and someone gave him a pillow. She immediately gave Shopkeeper Guo a reassuring look.

Yuan Hao had already noticed her when Chang Xi came over, so when she came to salute, he smiled while shaking his fan and said, "Chang Niangzi, we meet again."

Xie Ming, who was finishing his conversation with Mr. Zhang, heard this sentence and hurriedly asked, "Brother Tai Liang, when did you meet Mrs. Chang?"

Yuan Hao said with a smile, "Just a few days ago, I accidentally disturbed Mrs. Chang, and that's when I met." After a pause, he turned to look at Chang Xi, "Ms. Chang, right?"

Chang Xi smiled and nodded, and responded generously, "I didn't know it was Mr. Yuan, please forgive me." She never mentioned that she didn't introduce her surname at all, after all, it is meaningless to say it now.

Xie Ming looked around and didn't understand what kind of official tone these two people were using, but he felt that he still needed to tell his ninth brother about this matter.

If Chang Xi knew what he was thinking at this moment, he would definitely laugh at his childishness.

Mr. Zhang also looked at Chang Xi at this time, who looked younger from a closer look. He couldn't believe that a woman who hadn't reached her twenties actually set up such a big stall. If Xie Ming hadn't repeatedly emphasized that Chang Xi was The person in charge, he barely believed one or two.

This woman is really too young.

Seeing Master Zhang's thick eyebrows unconsciously frowned, Yuan Hao looked down on Chang as a young girl, so he coughed lightly, drawing Master Zhang's eyes back to himself, and then said with a smile, " Master Zhang, let me introduce you, this is Mrs. Chang."

Chang Xi didn't know what kind of official this middle-aged man was, but he still went forward to salute with the idea of ​​not offending others.

Mr. Zhang smiled without reaching his eyes and said, "I just heard nephew Xie talk about you, but I didn't expect Mrs. Chang to be much younger than I thought."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Hao shook his fan a few more times, then looked at Chang Xi, he could only help her get here, and she had to rely on herself for the rest.

Some of the officials that Chang Xi dealt with in her previous life were much higher than Mr. Zhang, and she was already familiar with this official accent, so she was not at all afraid, and smiled and saluted, "I don't know if Mr. Zhang has heard of it before. Do you want to be famous and do things as soon as possible?"

This was a bold reply. Mr. Zhang was slightly critical of Chang Xi for making such a big noise. What can such a young person understand?What's more, she is still a woman.

But now he doesn't think so anymore, the woman who dares to talk to him like that is definitely not a coward.

"Oh, what do you say?"

"Master Zhang doesn't deny that the younger you are, the more aggressive you are, right? Master Zhang doesn't object to the saying that the younger you are, the more aggressive you are, right? Youth is the greatest capital. After all, don't wait for nothing. It's just sad to lose your youthful head."

Master Zhang didn't expect that it was just a question, but he waited for a long series of replies from her, and the woman opened her mouth eagerly.

Yuan Hao clapped his hands and said, "Don't wait for nothing, the boy's head is white, Kong is sad, Mrs. Chang has expressed the feelings of many young people."

Chang Xi was ashamed, and in a moment of urgency, used this famous line. This time and space is not as poor and weak as the Song Dynasty, so the source of this term has no source, but she still can't use it with peace of mind, "It's just listening Someone said it, just write it down, it made Master Zhang and Master Yuan laugh."

Shopkeeper Guo and the others who were watching from the side, heard what Chang Xi said, and then looked at their own gray beard, and suddenly felt the urgency of time and the fact that they had achieved nothing in half their lives. .

In fact, Mr. Zhang also has a bit of sympathy. He also benefited from his hard work and drive when he was young, and now he has reached his current official position, but it is not easy to advance an inch.

Thinking about it in this way, his prejudice against Chang Xi was gone, and he asked about the reason for the auction.

Chang Xi has long been used to answering these questions from senior officials, so he began to introduce the origin of tea bricks with a serious face, why he came up with this idea, and then how to turn the idea into reality, and then step by step to achieve today's situation.

Her words were concise and powerful, which made her invisibly downplay the role of women, and also made Mr. Zhang and others really listen to them, and their thoughts followed her.

Then it went to the side hall to drink tea, and Cha Xi directly asked Xiao Tao to make a bowl of brick tea for Master Zhang and others to taste.

No matter how much you say, it is more intuitive and more impactful than drinking it in your mouth.

"So, tea bricks are a good thing." Mr. Zhang, who was sitting in the main seat, said.

Chang Xi nodded and said directly, "It can increase the export of goods, in other words, it can earn more money from foreigners for our Daewoo Dynasty, Mr. Zhang, so why should we not do it? Besides, our workshop construction and recruitment are very difficult. It can contribute to the economy of Yiyang City."

Both Master Zhang and Yuan Hao could think of what she didn't say. If you have money, you can do a lot of things. This is the first, and the second is naturally political achievements. If you can get the title, why worry about not being promoted?
Furthermore, there is another point, if you can hire more poor people to work and give them a bowl of food, naturally there will be no rebellion, and the mental outlook of the people under the rule will be much better, then it will also be good for their political achievements.

Thinking about it this way, Master Zhang's eyes on Chang Xi no longer implied prejudice and contempt, but became much calmer, "In my opinion, this is a thing with only benefits and no harm?"

"What women see is superficial. Everything in the world has two sides. Women don't dare to draw conclusions lightly."

Hearing this, everyone present was lost in thought. From the current point of view, tea bricks are a lucrative business. They really couldn't think of anything wrong, so in the end, it also came down to Chang Xi's idea of ​​leaving room for words. After all, no one He would be so stupid that he would talk too much, and Chang Xi always left them with a shrewd and capable impression.

Therefore, this topic can be terminated at this point, Mr. Zhang didn't stay too long, and after knowing that Chang Xi's matter would not cause trouble, he didn't plan to meddle too much.

Yuan Hao said before leaving, "Chang Niangzi, I still have some doubts, so I won't bother you too much today, and I will ask you to clarify my doubts tomorrow."

Chang Xi nodded, this Yuan Tailiang was smarter than she thought, and it happened that she also wanted to talk to him in detail, so she readily agreed.

Xie Ming's eyes flickered, and he was determined to make a small report after returning home.

After this episode, Chang Xi continued to preside over signing contracts with the rest of the foreigners, and was busy until it was getting dark.

Chang Xi's busy work was gratifying, but Mr. Shen's busy work was in vain, and in the end he had no choice but to return home in despair.

Everyone in the mansion was cautious, not daring to make him unhappy, but he was so angry that he smashed down the study. Seeing shopkeeper Shen rushing in, he said angrily, "Where did you die today?"
