Chapter 448

The head steward of the Yu family was truly worried sick about Ye Xiao 'an. Not only did he have to earn money, but he also had to be indifferent. Where else could he find such a good job? The head steward thought about it and finally came up with a good idea. He arranged for Ye Xiao 'an to be a warehouse manager at the Yu Ji Brick and Tile Factory.

The Yu Ji Brick and Tile Factory was the largest brick and tile factory in Tongren. Countless goods came in and out every day, so a warehouse manager was needed. The Yu Ji Brick and Tile Factory had been in business for many years and had a set of strict management procedures. If Ye Xiao 'an worked there, even if he didn't do anything, it wouldn't affect anything.

But this matter couldn't be told directly to Ye Xiao 'an. With Ye Xiao' an's rapidly inflated mentality, he would never accept "handouts". Thus, the head steward ordered the shopkeeper of the Yu Ji Store to take the initiative to pay a visit. He had to be humble and "thirsty for talent".

Although the Yu Ji Store was a business of the Yu family, it had nothing to do with the Yu family on the surface. Ye Xiao 'an also didn't know the relationship between the two. After declining a few times, he saw that the shopkeeper was very sincere and the salary was indeed generous. He had nothing to do now, so he reluctantly agreed.

"Haha, don't tell me your Yu Ji Store has encountered some trouble?"

"No, our Yu Ji Store is Tongren's oldest business, and our future is smooth."

"Don't try to fool me, my eyes aren't blind!"

Ye Xiao 'an said proudly, "If it's not some corrupt tax official making things difficult for you, then it's some tyrant bullying the market, right? But don't worry, I'll go to your Yu Ji Store to be the warehouse manager. I also have the function of a door god, and all evils will avoid me, not daring to bully me! "

The shopkeeper of the Yu Ji Store smiled apologetically and thought to himself, "Evils avoid you? Do you think you're Jiang Ziya? The biggest god of plague is you! "

Ye Xiao 'an arrived at the Yu Ji Store's branch in the city. At first glance, the place was not small. It was a brick and tile factory, so the courtyard was very large. At the front was the front, with three entrances and nine rooms. The accounting room, shopkeeper's room, and warehouse manager's room were clearly separated, each occupying a courtyard.

Ye Xiao 'an was the warehouse manager, and was also in an independent courtyard, the environment very elegant. The assistant steward was also diligent. He never asked Uncle Ye to do anything and was very respectful to him. Ye Xiao 'an was very happy and felt that this place was really the right one.

Since then, Ye Xiao 'an became the warehouse manager at the Yu Ji Brick and tile factory. He drank every night with Yan Shiwei, and had fun until dawn. He would go to the brick and tile factory and find a quiet place to sleep. Even if he didn't go home, he could say that he was busy and save his wife and parents from being noisy.

The assistant manager of the warehouse saw that he did not cause any trouble and only came to the brick and tile factory every day to take a nap. He felt that this was a good way to live in peace. Who would have thought that not long after Ye Xiao 'an paid the scoundrel three hundred taels of silver, the little woman, dressed in a white mourning dress, came crying to him.

When Ye Xiao 'an asked, he found out that the ruffian became arrogant after receiving the silver. He drank and made merry every day and offended another big ruffian in the streets. One day, when he returned home drunk in the middle of the night, the ruffian put a sack over his head and beat his head like a rotten watermelon with a stick.

Ye Xiao 'an could never forget the wonderful taste of this little woman. As the saying goes, a woman must be thirty percent filial. At this time, she was dressed in mourning clothes and looked even more attractive. His passion was aroused and he promised to take her as his mistress and let her live in the brick and tile factory.

The little woman only wanted to have someone to rely on, so she shyly agreed. For fun, he used a red silk bridle and treated her like a white horse. He also lit a candle and dripped wax on her buttocks. For fun, he used a red silk bridle and treated her like a white horse. He also lit a candle and dripped wax on her buttocks.

Unexpectedly, when he was in ecstasy, he threw the candle to one side and didn't extinguish it. It immediately started a fire, and for a moment, the flames rose high into the sky …

The Nine Dragons Temple was built with the help of the Yu family. After it was completed, it was even more magnificent than Dabei Temple, and became the number one Taoist temple in Tongren. Ye Xiaotian was invited to attend the ceremony with Yu Junting. As they were riding, they suddenly saw thick smoke in front of them, and the fire was burning.

Ye Xiaotian stopped his horse and asked in surprise, "Where's the fire?"

Yu Junting saw that it was her family's business, and her heart tightened. She quickly said, "Let's go take a look."

The two of them rode to the Yu Ji Brick and Tile Factory. Ye Xiaotian used to be in charge of Tongren's sewers, and has been here a few times. He suddenly said, "Ah! So it's the Yu Ji Factory. How can there be a fire in broad daylight? They're not strict enough. "

As they were talking, they saw a man and a woman running out of the fire, dragging a thin quilt. The two of them were in a sorry state, their hair was curled up, and their skin was white and tender.

Yu Junting was shy, and couldn't help but spit. Ye Xiaotian couldn't help but laugh, "Haha, are these two newlyweds? They can't control themselves, and they're lovey-dovey in broad daylight. Could this fire be because they accidentally knocked over a candle when they were in ecstasy …"

At this point, Ye Xiaotian suddenly stopped, because the man in the quilt happened to turn around, and Ye Xiaotian suddenly saw his other self.

…

"Big Brother, aren't you driving with someone? Why did you go to the Yu Ji Brick and Tile Factory to be a manager? And I don't know anything about it? "

In the study, Ye Xiaotian questioned Ye Xiao 'an in annoyance. He suddenly felt that he cared too little about his eldest brother's business, but he was really too busy. There were too many things that needed him to worry about, and most of them were related to people's lives. Did he have the energy to care about his eldest brother's business?

Ye Xiao 'an complained, "Second Brother, you're a person who does big things. How can I bother you with these small things? Besides, I can't even handle such a small matter. Do I have the face to ask for your help? "

Ye Xiaotian said, "Why did the carriage and horse business stop?"

Ye Xiao 'an said, "I originally had a few partners who ran the carriage and horse business together, but these people all had their own ideas and were hindering me everywhere. I couldn't do anything at all. I wanted to open up a new business route, and they were worried that the risk was too great. The workers were all working very hard, and I didn't skimp or cut their salaries. This way, they could work hard for the carriage and horse business, but they thought I was too generous.

It's hard to manage a household with too many mothers-in-law. You can think about how difficult it was for me to do something in the carriage and horse business. But even so, our carriage and horse business was very prosperous at the beginning. Who knew that other carriage and horse businesses would be envious, and relying on the fact that they were the first to do business and had strong capital, they deliberately lowered the price to steal my business.

These people were sinister, and the harm they did was not limited to this. They also sent spies in. Our carriage and horse business should have sent goods to Le Ping, but they were sent to Ping Ding, delaying their business. What could I do? I could only compensate them at a high price. They also let the spies steal the goods of the customers, thus discrediting our reputation, causing my business to be much worse than before. "

The more Ye Xiao 'an spoke, the angrier he became. He said loudly, "What else can I do? I can only stop the business, but my business failed. I can't lose people, and I can't discredit you, Second Brother. I didn't owe a single cent of the workers' wages, and I also compensated the partners' money … "

Ye Xiaotian frowned and said, "Then won't you lose everything?"

Ye Xiao 'an blushed and said embarrassedly, "That's why … I went to Yu Ji Brick and Tile Factory to find a job. Yu Ji's business was booming, and there was a large amount of goods coming in and out every day. I ran around, was responsible for the cashier, bookkeeping, and looked after the warehouse supplies. At night, I also had to lead a patrol team to prevent theft. Although it was a bit hard, I still made money. "

Ye Xiaotian said, "So many things, why didn't you tell me?"

Ye Xiao 'an said, "It's not like I don't know how busy you are all day. Strictly speaking, it's all military and national affairs. How can I bother you with these small matters all day? Besides, I have a capable brother like you. Does anyone else have one?

If others suffer losses, don't they still have to climb back up by themselves? If Big Brother comes to you for help when something happens, then when will Big Brother be able to take responsibility? Don't worry, I'm not only working at Yu Ji now, but also learning how they manage their business. One day, I will make a comeback! "

"Well said!" Ye Xiaotian praised and asked, "Which carriage and horse shops are causing trouble for you? Is there any evidence? I'll go seek justice for you! "

Ye Xiao 'an smiled bitterly and said, "There are some things that everyone is well aware of. If you want evidence, where can I find it? Those people were poached from other carriage and horse shops by me at a high price. Now they've returned to the original carriage and horse shop. Do they still not understand what's going on?

But if you ask, they only say that they were momentarily greedy and took the customer's goods. They only say that it was a moment of carelessness, so they mistakenly sent the goods. What else can you do to them? Murder? Sigh! A fall into the pit, a gain in your wit. "

Ye Xiaotian thought of the bitter competition between Luo Li Gao Chariot and the Xie Family's Carriage and a few other carriage and horse shops back in Gourd county. He could not help but nod and say, "In Guizhou, carriage and boat trading is the most profitable business. No wonder they can't tolerate a powerful competitor like you. Actually, if Big Brother doesn't want to work anymore, you can go to Crouching Bull Ridge and become a chieftain. You can collect rent on time and live peacefully with sister-in-law … "

Reaching there, Ye Xiaotian suddenly thought of the little married woman who had run out of the fire with his big brother. He could not help but become suspicious again and said, "Big Brother, who was the disheveled woman who ran out of the fire with you?"

"She …"

Ye Xiao 'an began to stammer. After a while, he said, "She's a local married woman. Her husband is a scoundrel, so she's often bullied by him. She's very pitiful. I once helped her in Zhou Ji, so I know her. A few days ago, her husband fought with other ruffians and was beaten to death in the middle of the night, leaving her alone. She's really pitiful. I … I also truly like her, so I took her in as a concubine … "

Ye Xiaotian frowned and said, "Does sister-in-law know about this?"

Ye Xiao 'an said, "Since she's a concubine, how can she know? Second brother, you don't know, but your sister-in-law is no longer the same as before. As soon as I return home, she'll nag that I'm not capable, that I don't know how to do things, that I'm not as capable as you, brother. My ears are about to grow calluses from listening to her.

Tell me, when I'm discussing business, can I not buy wine? Can I not go to a brothel? In the end, I'm clearly working hard for the sake of business, but she just has to say that I've been corrupted by women. Now, I get a headache as soon as I return home. That girl knows what's good for her. Big Brother really likes her. You can't let father, mother, and sister-in-law know! "

Ye Xiaotian thought of how he also had a few female friends that he was entangled with. He could not help but smile wryly. He nodded, then shook his head. He said, "This is big brother's family business. I naturally won't interfere. Ai! But now that Yu Ji has been burned down by you, what should I do? "

Ye Xiao 'an said resolutely, "I'll take care of my own business! Fortunately, Yu Ji is a brick and tile business. Most things are not afraid of being burned. Only one courtyard was burned down. I'll find work to earn money. If I can't pay it back in a year, I'll pay it back in ten years. One day, I'll pay it back. "

Ye Xiaotian shook his head. "Forget it. I'm an old acquaintance of Yu Ji's shopkeeper, and we still have some friendship. Let me handle this matter. What does big brother plan to do next?"

Ye Xiao 'an sighed. "Yan Shiwei, brother Yan has been discussing with me for a long time. He wants to work together to transport silk from the Central Plains. That thing is profitable, but it also requires a lot of capital. I originally wanted to earn some money before … Why don't I go to his place and work as a shop assistant first. When I've saved enough money, I'll learn how to do business from him."

Ye Xiaotian's expression brightened. "It's indeed easier to get started with an experienced guide. How about this, I'll give you the capital to do business. You can do business with brother Yan. I still have to go to Guiyang in the near future … "

At this point, Ye Xiaotian laughed bitterly. "Brother really is a bit too busy and doesn't have time to take care of you. If big brother is willing to do something, then just do it. As long as I put my heart and effort into it, it doesn't matter even if I lose."

Ye Xiao 'an was extremely grateful. "Second brother, you … you've helped me so much. Big brother really doesn't know what to say to you."

Ye Xiaotian smiled. "We're brothers, why are you treating me like an outsider? I'll go to Yu Ji's in a bit and take care of this matter for you first! "

Ye Xiao 'an repeatedly agreed and happily left. Ye Xiaotian gazed at his big brother's back and lightly shook his head. "Big brother's luck is really a bit bad! Gemini twins, it can't be this kind of twins, right? People often say that after Emperor Zhu appeared in Fengyang, the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth was exhausted, so natural and man-made disasters often occur there. Could it be that the luck of my Ye family has been taken by me, so big brother's lofty aspirations can't be fulfilled? "
