Jun Rongrong sat on the chair and stared at the new piece of silk on the table.
Ever since she came to the Zhao Family with her mother, she had been eating and using the best food and drinks that she had ever thought of.
She thought that she had seen the world and her taste was much higher than before.
But she was still fascinated by the beautiful fabric.
She reached out her hand and gently stroked the silky fabric. She was thinking about how beautiful she would look when she put it on.
"Do you think that this cloth was really given to me by that Miss Ya?"
Jun Rongrong still found it hard to believe.
On the other hand, the maid lowered her head and expressed with some envy that this was indeed the case.
"How could she be willing to give me such a good cloth?"
A look of jealousy flashed across Jun Rongrong's face.
A few days ago, Madam Duan took the initiative to find her. She promised her all kinds of benefits and would find a good marriage for her in the future.
She only needed to help Mrs. Duan become Mrs. Zhao.
Therefore, she cooperated with Mrs. Duan and wanted to teach Miss Ya a lesson.
But now, the other party was so extravagant, which made Jun Rongrong feel inferior to him.
"Perhaps Miss Ya really wants to apologize to you. If you don't want it, I'll return the cloth."
The maid was a little disappointed, but she did not dare to disobey her master.
Jun Rongrong immediately objected, "Why should I return it? Since it's an apology from her, all the more I should keep it well! "
"But didn't you just agree to cooperate with Mrs. Duan? I am afraid that Mrs. Duan will think too much. "The maid reminded her.
But Jun Rongrong did not think so.
She curled up her lips and looked proud.
"I am my brother's only sister. If they want to fight for power, they will naturally have to win my support. Therefore, no matter whether it was Madam Duan or Miss Ya, I wanted both of their benefits.
As a person, the smartest thing to do is to strike a balance between both sides and have your cake and eat it too. "
The maid praised her master for her clever idea.
She turned around and sold the news to the people sent by Mrs. Duan.
Soon, Mrs. Duan found out that her ally had such an idea. Because of that, the cooperation between the two of them was broken.
When Jun Rongrong found out that Madam Duan was being perfunctory with her, and that she could no longer get any benefits from her, they would fight among themselves without anyone provoking them.
Lin Mengya was happy to see this happen.
It was just a rag that others didn't want. She was very satisfied that it had such an effect.
Ever since the small silk incident, almost everyone in the residence knew that this new Miss Ya was a passing God of Wealth. She was very generous with her money.
As the saying goes, humans die in pursuit of wealth, while birds die in pursuit of food. No matter how good Madam Duan was, she still had to wait for someone to take her place if she wanted to dig out the money from her hands.
In that case, if they could please Miss Ya before this, wouldn't they become rich in the blink of an eye?
Therefore, the number of people working for her in the mansion suddenly increased.
Indeed, Lin Mengya did not care about these trivial things.
With more money, she would be able to obtain a lot of insider information.
For example, everyone in the Zhao Family had their own areas of responsibility when they did things.
This was something that had gradually taken shape when the Fang Clan was in charge.
But later, Madam Dowager interfered, and Madam Duan also wanted to control the family. As a result, everyone was busy currying favor and snatching jobs with more benefits, and they forgot their own duties.
Regarding this, Si Cui and the others had the most say.
Since they came back, Madam Duan had taken advantage of Madam Dowager to remove them.
After Madam Dowager was grounded, the three people who replaced them turned to Madam Duan.
Now, among the three of them, one held the key to the treasury in the mansion, one was responsible for all the purchasing work inside and outside the mansion, and the last one was responsible for collecting the profits and land of all the shops and farms outside the Zhao Family.
These days, Lin Mengya frequently ran into obstacles, which was directly related to the delay and uncooperation of the three people.
Today, the merchants who had ordered food and drinks a while ago came to deliver the goods. When Cai Ru went to inspect the goods in person, she found that the goods they sent were not the good goods they had ordered before, but were of inferior quality.
If so, it would not be a big deal. Those people even took the receipt and said that today was the agreed day to deliver the goods and settle the payment.
Unexpectedly, the supervisor in charge of settling the payment said that she did not have the money from the accountant at all.
Cai Ru asked again and again, only to know that the supervisor in charge of the palace treasury said that today was not the day of settlement agreed by the accounting office of the mansion, and refused to open the door for her to take the money.
Now, both inside and outside the mansion were almost in a mess, and the matter was handed to Lin Mengya to make a decision.
At first glance, she knew that the other party wanted to see her make a fool of herself.
She had a lot of money in her hands, and she could pay for it herself.
But she did not like to be a fool.
"Greetings, Miss Ya. Please uphold justice for us!"
As soon as the supervisor came, she shouted that she was wronged.
Lin Mengya sat on the main seat calmly, without any panic or anger on her face.
The supervisor cried for a while, and gradually found that everyone regarded her as a monkey show, so she lost interest in continuing to make a scene, and reluctantly sat aside.
But she was laughing at that bullshit Miss Ya in her heart.
Bah! She could not take a penny from her!
Soon, the accountant, the supervisor in charge of the kitchen, and the businessman who asked for the payment were all brought in to her.
The originally quiet room instantly became noisy.
Cai Ru cleared her throat and motioned for everyone to be quiet.
Lin Mengya put down the teacup in her hand, and her bright eyes glanced at the crowd gently.
"I've heard about what happened today. Who is responsible for sending those things here?"
A well-dressed middle-aged man walked out of the crowd. He bowed respectfully to Lin Mengya and said, "I'm the shopkeeper of Fushan Residence. These things and drinks were ordered by the steward of your mansion from my shop half a month ago. At that time, we made an agreement that the things should be delivered today, and the money should be settled at the same time.
Our store is also a small business. Please be magnanimous and give me the money, and I'll be very grateful. "
The shopkeeper of Fushan Residence begged and bowed, as if he was sure that she was a person who reneged on a debt because of her power.
Lin Mengya was a little unhappy, but she didn't show it. Instead, she looked at the supervisor next to the shopkeeper.
"Why don't you settle the money for him?"
The supervisor of the outer courtyard quickly pushed the responsibility to the accountant, and got rid of himself completely.
Then the accountant pushed the responsibility to the supervisor in charge of the palace treasury.
Before Lin Mengya asked, the supervisor cried and shouted, accusing Lin Mengya of not following the rules and deliberately making things difficult for her.
For a moment, she was the one to blame for this basket of bad things.
Lin Mengya really had a headache because of the supervisor's crying. She hit the table with her hand and said angrily, "Shut up! I haven't asked you for your fault. How dare you cry to me? "
The supervisor became more energetic after hearing this, and shouted at the top of her voice, "These rules were set by the late madam when she was still alive, and I just did things according to the rules. Miss Ya, you just came here, so you don't understand it. But you can't take the blame for your subordinates, right? "
Cai Ru glared at her and was about to scold her, but was stopped by Lin Mengya.
Although she was wearing a veil, it didn't affect her aura.
Her eyes were like lightning, especially when she looked at those people who had their own evil intentions, which easily made them feel guilty.
She pinched Cai Ru's hand and used Cai Ru's mouth to blame them for their sins.
"Well, since you came to me, I'll give you an explanation."
She turned out a thick stack of account books, which recorded all the comings and goings of the kitchen this month.
"The shopkeeper of Fushan Residence, right? These aren't the things that the manager ordered for you, right? Let me ask you, why did you change the things we ordered privately? "
The shopkeeper of Fushan Residence had already prepared the words.
"Miss Ya, you can't blame us for this. We had prepared those things, but it was the people in your mansion who came to change them in person. "
"Oh, then let me ask you, did you change them just because he asked you to? I don't know, aren't you afraid of losing your capital by hoarding those expensive goods? According to the rules, if one party changes the type of goods without permission during the agreed period, they have to ask for the other party's permission, or compensate with a discount.
Why is your shopkeeper so kind that he didn't ask us for money? "
The shopkeeper of Fushan Residence was stunned.
In his eyes, these rich ladies from big families shouldn't know so clearly.
But he never dreamed that Miss Ya in front of him not only held a huge amount of private property, but also was the founder and the first president of the famous Chamber of Commerce in Wei Country.
She could tell at a glance that there was something fishy going on.
"This … this is because your mansion has been a regular customer for many years, so we're willing to lose some money to do you a favor."
The shopkeeper of Fushan Residence felt a little guilty, and his voice was not as confident as before.
But Lin Mengya didn't let him off.
"Since you're a regular customer, then let me ask you, every time the mansion orders with you, do you settle the bill in one go like today, or do you settle the bill in one go at the beginning and the end of each month? And, for such a big order, the person in charge of ordering with you must have the official seal of the mansion. As long as you can take it out, I'll settle the bill for you immediately without a penny less. "
The shopkeeper of Fushan Residence wiped the sweat on his forehead.
He didn't dare to say that the matter of changing the goods was just a verbal agreement between him and the supervisor in the mansion.
And that batch of expensive goods was still in the backyard of his Fushan Residence, waiting for this matter to be over, then transported to the mansion to please the new wife.
Lin Mengya glanced at him fiercely, and said sternly, "Take it out!"
