Chapter 27: A Clever Scheme
the other side.
Ming Miao complained righteously to Ming Ming, "If it weren't for my sister, I wouldn't have offended the Xiao family."
Although the Ming family and the Xiao family are not in the same business circle, for the Xiao family to destroy the Ming family, they only need to move their fingers.
Previously, with the engagement contract with the Chi family in hand, Ming Zhengyan could be confident, but now that the engagement contract is gone, other families will no longer care.
Ming Zhengyan calmed down and thought about the solution, which was different from Ming Miao's imagination.
He shouldn't get angry and call Ming Yin home to scold her. It would be better to drive her out of the house. From then on, there will only be one eldest lady left in the Ming family.
Mingmiao didn't dare to mention it again, otherwise her purpose would be too obvious and Ming Zhengyan would discover it.
After a long time, Ming Zhengyan said aloud: "I'm going to prepare the gifts now. You and I will go to Xiao's house to apologize."
Mingmiao's eyes widened in disbelief.
It's obviously all Ming Yin's fault, why should she apologize?
Meeting Ming Zhengyan's serious gaze, she had no choice but to endure her grievance and said, "Okay."
He was even more determined to get rid of Ming Yin. Since Ming Zhengyan couldn't do anything here, he decided to start with Lin Yan.
Two hours later, Ming Zhengyan brought Mingmiao to the door of Xiao's house and presented the gift in his hand.
"Please let me know, Butler Xiao, that the Ming family will bring their daughter to apologize to Mr. Xiao."
When Henry Zhang heard the name Ming, he became angry and said, "No."
The next second, he called the housekeeper again, "Wait, let them come in."
Ming Yin is Ming Zhengyan's daughter, so she might be able to take advantage of him.
Ming Zhengyan walked into the hall and saluted Xiao Yang with a respectful attitude, "I have met Mr. Xiao. I have learned about the development of the matter from the little girl's mouth, and I specially brought her to apologize to Mr. Xiao."
Henry Zhang snorted coldly, "What's the use of apologizing? Will you bear the Xiao family's losses?"
Ming Zheng said he couldn't afford it. He looked embarrassed and his eyes fell on Ming Miao. The only way now was to sacrifice one person to save the Ming family.
Mingmiao immediately realized what he was thinking, her face turned pale and she looked angry.
Sure enough, they are not biologically related, but there is still a big difference.
Fortunately, she had considered the situation and thought of a countermeasure before coming. She took a step forward and spoke up before Ming Zhengyan.
"I have a plan to help the Xiao family."
Henry Zhang put down the tea cup calmly and said, "Let's talk about it. If it's useful, the previous things can be wiped out."
Ming Miao told her plan, Henry Zhang's eyes became brighter and brighter, and the case was decided on the spot.
"Butler, make preparations according to Miss Mingmiao's plan."
After giving the instructions, Henry Zhang turned to look at Ming Zhengyan. With his curved back and humble attitude, it was obvious that he had been living under others for a long time, but his two daughters were both powerful characters.
The Xiao family's jade was quickly transported to Taihe Xuan. Ming Yin looked at the small box in front of her, which was less than one-third the size of a table, with a slightly stern look on her face.
"What does the Xiao family mean?"
The person in charge of the transportation explained according to the steward's instructions: "The Xiao family's jade output this month is much less than in previous months. Taihexuan's requirements are high, and all the jade that meets the requirements are here."
Ming Yin opened the box and found that all the jade stones inside were indeed of high quality, but none of them were suitable for carving hostas and could only be used as jade accessories.
Taihexuan will hold an exhibition at the end of the month, and it is obvious that the Xiao family does not want them to live in peace.
Mr. Feng was furious and was about to step forward to ask for an explanation, but Ming Yin raised her hand to stop him.
"Mr. Feng, give them the balance."
She seemed to be talking to herself, "It seems that the Xiao family has begun to lose. They can't even get a decent piece of jade, so they should consider looking for another family to cooperate. This matter needs to be discussed carefully with other people."
The other people Ming Yin refers to refer to other industries that cooperate with the Xiao family.
Taihexuan mainly makes hostas and takes a high-end route. It does not seize the market and interests of other jewelers. Because they purchase from the same jeweler, they often communicate with each other.
If the news of the Xiao family's defeat spreads from Taihexuan, others will naturally believe it and start looking for a new family.
The Xiao family who transported the jade had no choice but to report all these words to the housekeeper truthfully, and then spread them to Henry Zhang's ears.
He slammed the table angrily, "She is threatening me!"
Mingmiao calmed his emotions, "The Xiao family is the largest ore dealer in the country, and other families have to rely on Mr. Xiao. If they don't have your approval, will they be willing to provide them with jade? So her threat is unnecessary for Mr. Xiao.
Keep it in mind."
It has to be said that she is still very good at flattering, and Henry Zhang's mood relaxed.
He extended an invitation, "Miss Mingmiao, I would rather you stay as a guest and return to the Ming family after this matter is resolved."
It's even more of a threat. If Mingmiao doesn't solve it, she doesn't have to go back.
Ming Zhengyan was overjoyed, thinking that Ming Miao had been favored by Henry Zhang, "Miaomiao, stay at the Xiao family with peace of mind and help Mr. Xiao."
There was a chill in Ming Miao's eyes, and she was completely disappointed with Ming Zhengyan, but she still had a well-behaved attitude on her face, "Don't worry, Dad."
Maybe this time is also an opportunity for her. If she can be reused by the Xiao family, she can get rid of the stupid Ming family couple and step into a higher-level circle.
Taihe Xuan.
Ming Yin held the information from the investigation in her hand, and her mind focused on the Yun family that Mr. Feng had circled.
The Yun family owned a vein of special ore. Due to its weak strength, it was coveted by all forces. It gradually improved after marrying the Xiao family.
It is said that two years after marrying into the Xiao family, news came that he died of illness. Within a year, Henry Zhang married a new wife, Xiao Chengxuan's mother.
It is impossible to say that the Yun family has no hatred for the Xiao family, so Ming Yin starts with the Yun family.
She called the head of the Yun family and agreed on a time to visit.
Yun Gu hurriedly came down from the mine to meet the distinguished guests from Taihexuan who had come from afar.
Seeing that the visitor was a young woman, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes and he stretched out his hand to say hello.
"Hello."
Noticing that his hands were covered in mud, Yun Gu retracted his hands.
"I like to go to the mine to mine in person. When I heard that friends from Taihexuan were coming, I rushed over immediately. Before I had time to clean myself up, I went to sit inside for a while while I went to take a bath."
Yun Gu called his wife to entertain Ming Yin.
His wife is a gentle woman who reminds Ming Yin of someone, Zhou Wan.
After she made the tea and Yun Gu finished cleaning up, she left voluntarily and gave the space to them.
Ming Yin did not exchange too many pleasantries and directly stated her purpose of visit, "I am here this time to find cooperation with the Yun family in the jade business."
Yun Gu guessed something and was not particularly surprised, "Miss Ming should know that our Yun family only owns one mine vein, and the monthly output is not high. After supplying our own industry, there will be very little jade left."
Moreover, Taihexuan didn’t cooperate closely with the Xiao family, so why did he suddenly find him?
Yun Gu's thoughts were spinning.
