Miao Yi said, "That's not what I meant. I just feel that it's not good for you to sell things in the Commander's Office. Sooner or later, someone will attack you for this. So, I have an idea. Why don't you sell your things in front of the Morality Goods Store? We will save a good spot for you. "
Xiahou Longcheng was happy and laughed, "Why do I have to sell my things in front of your shop? Can't I find a good spot in front of other shops? "
Miao Yi was silent for a moment, "Of course there are benefits that other shops can't give. Commander, if you sell your things in front of the Morality Goods Store, I will sell you one more piece of jewelry every day."
Xiahou Longcheng chuckled, "You should keep it and sell it slowly!"
He wasn't here for money! The thought suddenly flashed through Miao Yi's mind. His pupils shrank as he finally realized something. He finally confirmed that someone was deliberately messing with him. This was probably not something Xiahou Longcheng could come up with. Someone who wasn't a businessman wouldn't understand the situation and wouldn't be able to make such a precise move!
Who would go against him? He didn't have any enemies in Heaven's Street. The mastermind behind this was obvious!
Miao Yi didn't ask anymore and didn't want to say anything more. He bid farewell, "If that's the case, then I will take my leave first."
"There's no rush!" Xiahou Longcheng released his hands and feet and stood up, laughing, "Brother Niu, shouldn't you return my things to me?"
Miao Yi didn't understand and asked suspiciously, "What things?"
Xiahou Longcheng smirked, "Of course it's the promissory note that I wrote! I made a small fortune recently and can almost afford it. "
Miao Yi was silent and stared at him for a while. He slowly took out the jade disk and handed it over.
Xiahou Longcheng took it and looked at it. He nodded slightly. It was indeed the promissory note that he wrote. Without a word, he crushed it in his hand. Hu, he blew on it and patted the dust off his hand. He waved his hand like nothing had happened and said, "You can leave now."
He didn't have any intention of returning the money. He said he would return the money just to trick him into giving him the promissory note.
Miao Yi had expected this bandit commander to be such a person. Miao Yi didn't say a word and wasn't angry. He did not flare up. He calmly cupped his fists, turned around, and left.
This made Xiahou Longcheng a little surprised. He had been waiting for Miao Yi to say something. I spent 10 million Red Crystals to buy a piece of jewelry from you, and then you sold five pieces to Kou Wenlan for 100 million Red Crystals. How am I supposed to endure this?
Unexpectedly, Miao Yi didn't say anything at all. Instead, it made him feel a little uncomfortable as he kept his words to himself...
Returning to the street where the Morality sundry goods store was located, Miao Yi stood at the side of the street and quietly stared at the signboard of the sundry goods store. After staring at it for a long time, he suddenly sighed to himself, "If only Yang Qing was here. That guy might have a way!"
Going head-on with the other party was not a wise move. It wasn't easy for him to find a foothold here. If this place collapsed, it would be useless even if he hid in the Non-Phase Star's Positive Energy Sect. The other party's forces could easily deal with him there. He couldn't afford to offend the person who plotted against Xiahou Longcheng. Xiahou Longcheng's background might be even more terrifying than that person, and he couldn't afford to offend him.
If the other party hadn't offended him yet, then he had even less of a right to do so. If he really did, he wouldn't be a match for the other party's power. In the end, it was all because he didn't think things through and didn't care about the consequences that led to the current situation.
Since he had already come here first, he had to establish a foothold here first. That way, it would be easier for others to come to his aid later on.
After another long period of silence, Miao Yi took a deep breath and raised his head, as though he had made a decision. He quickly returned to the sundry goods store.
At first, Reverend Yuling and Miao Yi were prepared to return as soon as the business here was done. However, they didn't expect business to be so good, and then they had to deal with a series of problems. They had no choice but to postpone their return and stay here for a while longer. They were afraid that they wouldn't be able to handle this place.
When Miao Yi went upstairs to look for Reverend Yuling, he saw someone he didn't want to see. He didn't expect that disgusting Kou Wenlan to be here again, and was drinking tea with Reverend Yuling.
"Brother Niu, you came at the right time. I was just talking to Reverend Yuling about your store. Reverend Yuling said she would wait for you to come before making a decision." Kou Wenlan gently tapped his lips with a handkerchief and smiled. He then waved his hand and invited Miao Yi to sit.
Miao Yi felt goosebumps all over his body. He glanced at Reverend Yuling, who gave him a slight nod.
After taking a seat, Miao Yi asked, "May I know what Commander Kou wants?"
Kou Wenlan smiled. "?? Lu Ao Tu Jiao? Bi Dan Sang?? Di Mu Yu? Intimate? Xianqin Yi Jiao Mou Jiao Ying? Qiao Tu Bao Huang Peng Yu? She Jiao Tu Ji? She Jiao Tu? She Jiao Tu? She Jiao Chang? She Jiao Tu Ji? How can the hidden ashes of karma leak out? She Jiao Tu Ji Quan? She Jiao Tu Ji? She Jiao Tu Ji? She Jiao Tu Ji? She Jiao Tu Ji? She Jiao Tu Ji? She Jiao Tu Ji?
"Oh!" Miao Yi asked curiously, "May I know how Commander Kou intends to help us?"
Kou Wenlan covered her mouth and laughed. "That's simple. Move the store to my Eastern District. It's under my jurisdiction. If Xiahou Longcheng dares to cause trouble here, I'll teach him a lesson. You don't have to worry about the store either. I'll think of a way to find one for you. What do you think? "
Reverend Yuling didn't have any objections to this. She thought it was a good idea. The Commander of the Western District was too unreliable. It was better to avoid him.
On the other hand, Miao Yi pondered for a moment. Outsiders didn't know what was going on here. Someone was instigating Xiahou Longcheng, and this Commander Kou in front of him would probably listen to the instigator as well. It would still be troublesome even if he ran to the East City District.
Most importantly, he didn't want to get involved in the battle between Xiahou Longcheng and Kou Wenlan, the old rivals in love. If he stood on one side, he would become the enemy of the other side. At that time, Xiahou Longcheng wouldn't 'follow the rules' to Miao Yi. He might even find a way to kill Miao Yi. Xiahou Longcheng couldn't do anything to Kou Wenlan because Kou Wenlan definitely had the ability to fight back. Miao Yi didn't have any ability here. The Vitality Sect couldn't protect him. Madam Biyue could help him, but she didn't have to protect him all the time.
Miao Yi also came from the bureaucracy. He knew what the big picture meant. Madam Biyue wouldn't make things difficult for Xiahou Longcheng for a piece of jewelry.
"Commander Kou, thank you for your kind intentions. I just came from Commander Xia Hou's place, and I've already come to an agreement with him. He has already agreed not to make things difficult for us." Miao Yi politely rejected the other party's good intentions.
"Oh!" Kou Wenlan was surprised. "Since that's the case, pretend I didn't say anything. But I have to remind you that his grandson lacks manners. He's an immoral animal. If he makes trouble for you again, come find me and move to my place. This is his territory, after all. It's not my place to interfere. "
"Thank you for your kindness, Commander Kou. I'll thank you again in the future!" Miao Yi cupped his fists in thanks.
Kou Wenlan wasn't interested in staying here, so she left. To put it bluntly, if she didn't want to make things difficult for Xiahou Longcheng. He wouldn't have come here anyway.
After sending Kou Wenlan away, Sect Leader Jade Spirit asked, "Did Commander Xiahou really agree not to make trouble?"
"Kou Wenlan was right. That guy is a grandson. It would be strange if he agreed so easily. Not only did he not agree, but he also destroyed the IOU." Miao Yi was angry as he spoke.
Sect Leader Jade Spirit was surprised. "Then why did you reject Kou Wenlan's kindness?"
"He's not related to us in any way, so he wouldn't help us for no reason. He didn't do it out of kindness. He just wants us to move away and watch Xiahou Longcheng make a fool out of himself …" Miao Yi repeated his previous worries.
"Then what should we do?" Master Jade Spirit was worried.
"We're running a general store, but we're focusing on jewelry. I'm doing this because I want to use the jewelry to quickly open up the general store's business. To achieve this goal, I'm a little unscrupulous. I brought this trouble upon myself, so I can't blame anyone else. I originally wanted to maintain the store's popularity as much as possible to buy some time for the general store to gain a foothold. Now that someone is making a move … I can only think of a way to forcefully change the focus of the general store's business while the people coming to the Celestial Avenue still hear about it. Otherwise, it'll be difficult to turn things around if it drags on for too long. I'm a person who doesn't like to procrastinate. "
Master Jade Spirit didn't really understand. She asked, "So you're not buying the jewelry anymore?"
Miao Yi shook his head. "Since we're doing business, why wouldn't we sell it if there's money to be made? But we can't sell it like this anymore. The jewelry has to be high-end in the future, and we have to cut off situations like Xiahou Longcheng's. I'd rather bribe him with money and get a favor from him. If we keep doing this, he won't appreciate it. Bastard! We have to focus on the general store. Either we don't do it at all. If we want to do it, we have to do it to the best of our ability. We can't use jewelry as a gimmick to attract customers anymore. That won't last long. We have to make the general store itself a highlight. We have to make it so that customers think of our general store first when they come to the Celestial Avenue. Only then will we be successful. We've already taken the opportunity to accumulate a huge variety of goods. With this foundation, our chances of success are still very high! "
"What do you want to do?"
"We'll close for three days first!" Miao Yi was firm, his gaze determined!
Soon, the Morality General Store hung up a sign: Closed for three days!
Once the general store was closed and the sign was hung up, the endless stream of customers who heard the news gradually dispersed.
As soon as the news of the general store's closure reached them, Mother Xu, Xue Linglong, and Huangfujun, Y immediately rushed to the window next to the general store. Y immediately rushed to the window adjacent to the grocery store. Looking from the fifth floor, the bustling crowd outside the grocery store had finally dispersed. Only a few people were still wandering around.
Xue Linglong was surprised, "Looks like it's really closed."
'Huangfujun?' Y looked down and smiled, "Relying on unorthodox methods to take advantage of others. He doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth, thinking he can make use of anyone. Now he knows what it means to shoot yourself in the foot. Otherwise, he would really think he's safe with Madam Biyue's inscription!"
Mother Xu tilted her head and asked, "Shopkeeper Huangfujun, did you ask Commander Xiahou to deliberately cause trouble for the general store?"
'Huangfujun?' Y smiled, "Niu Youde sold five pieces of jewelry to Kou Wenlan. Xiahou was upset, but with Madam Biyue's inscription, Xiahou didn't dare to do anything. I just asked someone to give Xiahou some tips on how to earn some easy money and vent his anger. I didn't expect it to close so soon."
Xue Linglong said, "Close? Didn't you say it's only three days? "
'Huangfujun?' Y: [He wanted to use jewelry as a grocery store to gain popularity. Now that Xia Hou has hit his weak spot, this popularity won't last long. Without popularity, can this grocery store with small profits but high turnover continue to operate? Even if it reopens, I think this general store will have to change to selling jewelry. Otherwise, the huge financial pressure from the various supply channels isn't something a small Morality Sect can handle. They will have to return goods. Once they specialize in jewelry, they won't be called a general store anymore. Wouldn't it be embarrassing for Madam Biyue to hang up Madam Biyue's signboard? As long as the signboard is changed, without Madam Biyue's signboard, Xiahou will be wary of them. Let's see how Xiahou deals with them in the future. Closing is good, but with Xiahou's character, he will most likely find an excuse to close their store. "
Mother Xu's expression twitched. She realized that her business was still too simple.
Xue Linglong smiled bitterly and shook her head, "What if he can still manage the general store?"
