Hearing this, Chang Xi narrowed her eyes slightly. She couldn't talk about signing a contract with James in such a big talk. When she had detailed discussions with those companies before, she also talked about it selectively. For example, She didn't even mention the big shopkeeper of Tongtai Tea House, who was impossible to reach a cooperation with, because she knew that there was also shopkeeper Shen.

The first time she met James was when he was making a deal with Shopkeeper Shen, so she would not be stupid enough to irritate his nerves at this juncture.

As for shopkeeper Guo and the others, will they tell shopkeeper Shen about this?

It's almost impossible, because no one would want to have another competitor, and their business conflicts with Mingxiang Tea House, so it is even less possible to talk to Shopkeeper Shen about this.

As for James himself, it is impossible. Telling the truth will not do him any good. Business people will leave a way out for themselves, so they don't have to jump out and offend her and Shopkeeper Shen.

So the question is, how did Shopkeeper Shen know about this?

She was puzzled. Since she didn't know how the other party knew, there was no point in not getting to the bottom of it. Rather than solving the problem, it was better.

"Manager Shen, I can explain this matter..."

Hearing this, Shopkeeper Shen became even more furious. He had not thought of this before. It was not until his boy came over to report that he saw Chang Xi saying goodbye to James that he guessed that someone was trying to pry him behind his back, so, This anger has been kept in my heart.

"Ms. Chang, any of your sophistry is meaningless. Just because of this unkind thing you have done, it is impossible for Mingxiang Tea House to cooperate with you."

He couldn't listen to what Chang Xi said at all. This woman was full of lies, so it would be crazy if he really believed her words.

At this moment, he didn't even want to talk, "Ms. Chang, I'm going to take my leave now, you can just take care of yourself, huh."

After saying that, he turned around and left, not even caring about etiquette.

Chang Xi didn't move, but looked coldly at Shopkeeper Shen's back as he left.

"Shopkeeper Shen, are you leaving now?" Jie Ming, who was turning around, happened to meet the cold-faced shopkeeper Shen and asked immediately.

Shopkeeper Shen stopped and looked at Xie Ming, "Master Xie Ba, you are also a figure, and you have a reputation in Yiyang City. Don't you feel panicked when you are bossed around by this woman?"

Xie Ming immediately became cold-faced. Are you sure Shopkeeper Shen didn't slap him in the face when he said this?

Shopkeeper Shen looked behind and saw that the woman and her two maids were not there, so he deliberately got close to Xie Mingtao and said, "Master Xie Ba, I am telling you this because I sincerely advise you. That woman is extremely unethical. You What good can you get from following her except being laughed at?"

Seeing that Xie Ming didn't scold him, he went one step further and said, "Women have long hair and short knowledge. Can they do business? You can even think about it with your toes. Besides, what is that woman's background? Mr. Jie Ba What is your background? Do you deserve to flatter her?"

Xie Ming's anger was about to rise to the top of his head at this time. He understood that this person was indeed not a very smart person, but he was not so stupid that he could not see the purpose of Shopkeeper Shen's move.

If he really valued his explanation as he said, he would not have been speechless during the discussion in the main hall.

However, he was not in a hurry now, but continued to watch his performance with a frown on his face.

Shopkeeper Shen saw that Xie Ming didn't say anything, so he assumed that he had acquiesced in what he said. When it came to this, he said with a sincere expression, "Master Xie Ba, what that woman can bring to you, our Mingxiang Tea House can also Can……"

"Oh, how do you say it?" Xie Ming raised his eyebrows and said, looking like he was willing to hear the details.

Shopkeeper Shen smiled, his mustache twitching as well, "Master Jie Ba, actually we can cooperate. If you tell us the making process of that tea brick, we can also cooperate and give you 50% of the price according to the terms offered by the woman." How about sharing it?"

Xie Ming did not expect that shopkeeper Shen wanted to obtain the tea brick making technology through him. This man thought highly of him. Not to mention that he was lazy and industrious, but Chang Xi had never told him about the tea brick making process. work

The only ones who knew about art were his sister and Shi Bichi. Others, including the slaves who helped him, only knew a little about it. After all, they had not seen the whole picture.

So, what can he do to cooperate with him?

Besides, although he was not a good person, he was not so depraved that he wanted to be a thief. This would bring shame to his family. If his grandfather knew about it, he would definitely beat him to death.

"Shopkeeper Shen," he called.

Shopkeeper Shen thought he was tempted, and was thinking about how to fool this fool of the Jie family next, when he saw Jie Ming suddenly attack him and hit him in the face with an uppercut, knocking him unconscious immediately.

"You, you..."

He pointed at Jie Ming and wanted to curse loudly, but fortunately he did not lose his mind. He also remembered that the other party's family background was something he could not afford to offend, so he did not really curse out those unpleasant words.

"Shopkeeper Shen, who do you think your grandfather is?" Xie Ming said angrily while straightening his messy sleeves, "Let's not talk about the tea brick craftsmanship. I don't know about your grandfather, and even if I knew, I wouldn't tell you this. Despicable villain, get out of here now, your grandpa!"

Seeing Xie Ming's righteous speech, Shopkeeper Shen dared to stay any longer? He immediately left in despair.

Of course, he was filled with hatred at this time.

Chang Xi, who heard that Xie Ming had beaten someone, hurried over from the flower hall, and happened to hear Xie Ming's last righteous words. She couldn't help but raise her eyebrows in appreciation. It was really a surprise to her after three days apart. The image here began to gradually change from negative to positive.

"Master Xie Ba, that's okay."

Hearing Chang Xi's teasing, Xie Ming turned to look at her and immediately chuckled, "I understand that this person is a little useless, but he is still very principled." Then seeing Chang Xi's teasing eyes, he immediately thought of himself Fang Fan's dark history made him blush and said, "I have made mistakes, but am I not allowed to change my ways?"

He truly regretted what happened to Fang Fan. If he had known that having an affair with this woman would cause such a big disturbance, he would have kicked her back to Fang's house.

Chang Xi shrugged, "I didn't mean that, Master Xie, it's because you are too sensitive."

"I think that's what you mean." Xie Ming muttered, and when Chang Xi looked over with cold eyes, he immediately stood up straight, "I mean, be careful about that shopkeeper Shen. This shopkeeper Shen is from Mingxiang Tea House. A distant relative of the same clan as my boss, who comes from the same lineage, is not a good person, so be careful of his mischief."

No need to explain clearly, Chang Xi would have been alert. Shopkeeper Shen must have a grudge because he broke up with them on bad terms, so bad things are almost foreseeable.

"First send someone to watch every move of Mingxiang Tea House and see who they are in contact with."

Hearing this, Jie Ming nodded, "I will send people to keep an eye on him without your instructions." Then he seemed to think of something, "Are you worried that he will unite with the major tea merchants to cause trouble?"

"Making trouble? No, you said that this Mingxiang Teahouse has a great reputation. They won't cause trouble openly, they will only cause trouble like rats in the gutter."

Chang Xi had met too many such people in her previous life, and she knew their thoughts very well, and she had already predicted the situation she might face next.

In this case, don't blame her for being cruel.

"This small courtyard is rented as an office space for now. Mr. Xie Ba, please stay here. If anyone comes to visit, please send someone back to my house immediately to notify me."

The battle of wits and courage with others made her whole body excited, so let the storm come more violently.

Xie Ming had no objections to this arrangement. He was eager to go back home. He felt so free outside.

Unexpectedly, Chang Xi suddenly said quietly, "Master Xie Ba, if I knew that you had done something that was sorry to Mrs. Eighth Young Master, I would definitely send Mrs. Eighth Young Master over to keep you company. I believe Mrs. Eighth Young Master would be quite happy to do so."

She didn't open the pot, and she knew that he was now afraid of Mrs. Bai, so she used Mrs. Bai to scare him, "You are really unkind."

"Master Xie Ba, what did you say?" Chang Xi licked his ears and asked him to repeat himself.

Jie Ming was short of breath and said, "I didn't say

What, if you think I'm not doing my job well, you can just call Mr. Bo, I have no objection." That's weird.

Chang Xi was just scaring him and had no real intention to move out of the Bai family. This was not a house game, it was about the survival of her career. How could she easily distract Xie Ming?

"Master Jie Ba really wants me to go find Mrs. Ba Young Master?"

"No, no, no, you heard wrong, I was joking."

Seeing his naughty look, Chang Xi let him go.

Unexpectedly, just as she was about to leave for Jie Mansion, someone came to her door, and this person was accompanied by James.

How could Chang Xi escape? Jie Ming couldn't handle these foreign devils.

But, she didn’t expect James to introduce clients to her so quickly?

After thinking about it carefully, she understood that James had won the exclusive rights to sell tea bricks in Britain, but there were many countries in Europe. Since he couldn't swallow them all, he should try his best to put the eggs in his friends' baskets. Let it go, three times five divided by two, which is equivalent to him taking an extra share.

But it's a good thing that customers come, and she naturally greets them with a smile.

This time the visitor is from Tulip country. He does not speak the broken Daewoo dialect like James. Instead, he speaks his own native language. In order to facilitate communication, he brings his own translator. Anyway, he looks much more stylish than James. .

When the two parties met, he did not pretend to be a gentleman like James, but nodded reservedly as a greeting. Of course, he did not glance at Chang Xi more than once when he spoke, looking solemn and well-behaved.

Chang Xi smiled secretly. This style was extremely familiar. As expected, there was a big difference between pretending and realness. At least he looked like a hypocrite and couldn't pretend to be the same.

Therefore, when she was dealing with this Fan Rossi, she would not be just a friend like she was with James. Instead, she would have a correct attitude and every move would be extremely in line with social etiquette.

Of course, Chang Xi could understand everything he said. In terms of language, she had almost all her skills in her previous life. She could speak several major international languages, and even dabbled in some niche ones. It can be said that she was good at languages.

Extremely talented.

Therefore, when talking to Fan Losi from the Tulip Country, I was not afraid of any dirty tricks on the part of the other party.

James helped translate and said, "Chang, my friend's strength is quite good. He even has contacts with the Tulip royal family. With his strength, he can represent the tea brick business of the entire Tulip Kingdom, and he can definitely open up the market...

"

Be obedient and listen to the sound. When Chang Xi heard this, it was almost certain that James gave the trick she gave him to his friend from the Tulip Country intact, so his friend came to her immediately in a heartbeat.

negotiation.

When Chang Xi saw James like this, he couldn't help but feel guilty.

After saying goodbye to Chang Xi, he immediately set off to find Fan Luoxi. In fact, compared to his civilian background, Fan Luoxi was from a real aristocrat. He had only had a slight friendship before. This time he took the initiative to come to talk to him.

During the tea brick business, the other party was reserved at first, until he slightly changed the words Chang Xi persuaded him and started talking to the other party again.

Fan Luoxi's eyes flashed with a gleam of determination, and he did not miss it, and immediately started to use his sharp tongue to persuade the other party.

Then he was brought directly to Chang Xi to discuss cooperation. As long as he helped Fan Losi get the exclusive agency rights for this tea brick, Fan Losi would give him the benefits he wanted, so this was a win-win situation.

Jie Ming sat aside with nothing to do. He could only watch Chang Xi communicating with the two foreign devils, and he picked up some knowledge just by listening.

At this moment, his personal servant ran in and said, "Master Ba, there are many foreigners..." He glared at him, and the servant quickly changed his words, "There are many foreigners out there asking to see you."

It seems that they came here after hearing the news. Chang Xi sighed at their speed.

She glanced at James, whose face was full of astonishment. He still didn't know what mistake he had made. Of course, this mistake made her successful.

James wanted to seize the opportunity, but he chose not to go to anyone else, but to the powerful Fan Losi. This man's aristocratic background was a halo, so he was naturally watched closely by all parties. Seeing him move

If you are heartbroken, can others still sit still?

If you come early, you can still get a piece of the pie, but if you come late, you won't get anything. This applies to any country.

"Since we are guests, please come in." Chang Xi smiled, then turned to look at James, "James, do you mind?" Then he asked Fan Luo, whose face darkened but was still acting reserved.

Xi, "Mr. Fan Rossi, you don't mind, do you?"

James didn't say a word, but turned to look at Fan Rossi, as if he was following his lead.

After hearing what the translator said, Fan Losi frowned slightly, but tried to maintain his grace and nodded.

Then the translator faced Chang Xi and said, "Master Fan said it's okay."

Chang Xi secretly complained that she was really good at pretending, but she smiled and asked Xie Ming to greet the guests and prepare to serve tea.
