"Meng Hua" was the name of a clothing store.
This store was located at the east end of the street. One had to turn two alleys before they could see it.
It wasn't big, and business didn't seem to be doing well. Of course, that was just "looking".
This store only served customers of a certain status.
All of Jung Genzun's clothes were handled by this store.
"Thinking of Clouds" was, of course, a place that all the nobles flocked to. But in Linzi, "Meng Hua" wasn't that bad either.
The east end of the street was considered a bustling place. Its prosperity didn't lose out to the "treasure bowl" in the west.
People came and went, and there was an endless stream of horses and carriages.
Junggenjia's carriage stopped at the entrance of the alley. Chung Geng Sheng and the black-armored Fourteenth alighted.
The accountant and the other people who were preparing to take over the management of "Meng Hua" also alighted from the carriage.
The coachmen went to stop the carriage. Chung Geng Sheng led a group of people into the alley.
A small courtyard was surrounded. A few old vines decorated with potted flowers. It was a good place to find peace in the midst of chaos.
"Walking into this courtyard, I feel more refreshed."
Zhong Xuan Sheng said casually, which caused his subordinates to agree with him, saying things like "elegant", "good taste", and so on. It was a mess.
With such a large group of people, the innkeeper brought people out to welcome them. When he saw Chung Geng Sheng, he bowed bitterly. "Young Master Sheng."
This was a middle-aged man with a pale face and no beard. He looked like a woman and was very cultured.
Chung Geng Sheng waved his hand. "Pay the bill. My people will be in charge of this place in the future."
He didn't give them any face, and there was no need to give them any face.
These people were all loyal to Jung Genzun. They had to wait until Jung Genzun came out of Jixia Academy.
Chung Geng Sheng didn't spoil them. If they were willing to wait for Jung Genzun, then let them wait. In any case, Junggenjia wouldn't take care of them during this period. Let's see how many people will be left.
The workers in Dream Flower were all dejected, like roosters that had lost a fight. The shopkeeper, on the other hand, had a good attitude. He respectfully invited Chung Geng Sheng and the others into the shop and handed over the account book that he had prepared beforehand.
Chung Geng Sheng's accountant was checking the accounts while Chung Geng Sheng was looking around the store.
The shopkeeper of "Dream Flower" hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Young Master Sheng, how do you plan to run this place in the future?"
"What do you mean by how to manage it?" Chung Geng Sheng asked impatiently.
Even though he knew that Chung Geng Sheng didn't want to talk to him, the shopkeeper still took out a small booklet and handed it over with both hands. "Young Master Sheng, this humble one has been in the 'Meng Hua' business for many years and has some experience. The specific business strategy is all in this booklet. As long as your people follow it, they won't suffer any losses. "
Chung Geng Sheng didn't take it. He glanced at him and said, "There's no need."
The shopkeeper didn't take his hands back. He said sincerely, "It wasn't easy for 'Dream Flower' to be where it is today. This humble one doesn't dare to have any bad intentions. I'm just afraid that it will collapse like this … this humble one definitely didn't mean that your people didn't manage it well! It's just that, just that, different professions are different worlds. After all, there's no other shop in Linzi. "
He was indeed very sincere. He also had deep feelings for "Dream Flower" and was afraid that it would be ruined. He believed that Jung Genzun would definitely be able to obtain the final victory. However, he was afraid that by the time Jung Genzun left Jixia Academy, "Dream Flower" would already be gone.
Thus, he didn't hesitate to reveal all of his years of experience in managing the business, just so that Chung Geng Sheng could help him "protect" it.
Chung Geng Sheng smiled playfully. "I'm not being courteous with you. There's really no need. In the future, we won't be selling clothes here. "
The shopkeeper turned pale with fright. "If we don't sell clothes, then what do we sell?"
Chung Geng Sheng's expression was serious as he thought about it. Then, he said, "We sell roast chicken!"
At this moment, one of his subordinates came over and whispered, "Young Master Sheng, you said that we sell roast ducks. We've already ordered the ducks. "
Another person knocked him on the head. "We'll sell whatever Young Master Sheng says!"
The shopkeeper's face was ashen.
The employees of "Dream Flower" were all angry, but they didn't dare to say anything.
"I say, do you feel a sense of accomplishment showing off in front of these small fries?" Wang Yiwu's voice suddenly rang out.
He walked in from outside the courtyard and stood at the door. His tall figure cast a shadow over the shop.
The shop fell silent.
Chung Geng Sheng turned around and looked at him with narrowed eyes. "I thought you'd be back at the barracks by now."
Of course, he didn't come here to show off in front of these small fries. Instead, he did it for the onlookers to see. He wanted them to see what would happen if they sided with Jung Genzun. He wanted them to know that Jung Genzun couldn't even keep his favorite shop. He wanted them to know which side they should take.
Jung Genzun wasn't here, and Wang Yiwu and Wen Lianmu had already lost. It was the perfect time to slowly crush Jung Genzun's influence. Although this method wasn't very presentable, it was very effective.
Otherwise, a fat person like him wouldn't have bothered to come here even if he liked to show off.
He was a little envious of Jiang Wang. All he did was cultivate and cultivate. He didn't leave the house at all. How carefree!
"I did go back to the barracks. But after thinking about it, I came back, "Wang Yiwu said.
"What's the matter?" Chung Geng Sheng asked.
"That person. The person who arranged for the assassin to enter the city has already sided with you, right? "
"I don't know what you're talking about." Chung Geng Sheng looked straight at him. "You're very boring, Wang Yiwu."
"You know I'm telling the truth."
"Before Big Brother went to Jixia Academy, when he said that he would leave the business to you, you should have said, 'No, how can a pig brain like me play with Chung Geng Sheng?' That way, he might have thought of a way to not enter Jixia Academy. "
Chung Geng Sheng mocked him expressionlessly. "If you can't afford to lose, don't come here."
"Ha!" Wang Yiwu pointed at Chung Geng Sheng. "You will never be able to compare to Ah Zun. Do you know what it is?"
"I don't want to know, and I don't agree with this. Will you not say it?" Chung Geng Sheng crossed his arms. "I want to see if I can suffocate you."
"You're so childish." Wang Yiwu said, "Ah Zun is very clear about how much capital the battle of Qiyang will bring you. It will allow you to become a force to be reckoned with. However, he has never thought of doing anything in the Battle of Qi Yang. "
"What's the big picture? The big picture is that we're all in Linzi, and we're all from Qi. If Qi is strong, I'll be strong, and if Qi is weak, I'll be weak. Ah Zun acknowledges Qi's victory, even if you'll be able to obtain the greatest benefits. He acknowledges the Junggenjia's strength, even if you'll be able to obtain enough capital from it.
But what about you? Do you really not know what kind of negative impact it will have if a Rank-4 official is assassinated in the capital?
Do you really have no idea how disgusted the Emperor will be if the people of Zhongxuan Family get involved in this matter? '
You know, but you still did it.
You gained the temporary upper hand, but you made the Junggenjia lose their long-term trust.
You put your personal interests above the interests of your family and even the country. You only want to defeat Ah Zun, and you don't care about the future of your family.
You're the same as your father!
Thirty years ago, Chongxuan made the Junggenjia lose His Majesty's trust. You Junggenjia risked your lives and fought for thirty years to win back the status you have today. Thirty years later, you let the same story repeat itself.
Chung Geng Sheng, you can't even compare to a strand of Jung Genzun's hair! "
Chung Geng Sheng listened to him quietly without any change in his expression. He only frowned, "If you want to anger me, then you've failed. Because I don't understand what you're saying. "
"That's right, that's right. You don't understand. I can't find any evidence either. What I'm saying is nonsense. "
Wang Yiwu shook his head and smiled, as if mocking himself.
When he stopped smiling, he looked at Zhong Xuan Sheng with an extremely serious expression.
"Do you still remember what I asked you the day Ah Zun went to Jixia Academy?"
