Uncle Wei?Lin Wanrong was shocked, and his sleepiness disappeared immediately. He looked at the carriage: Miss, I met an acquaintance and would be back soon.The eldest lady hurriedly lifted the curtain, but only saw him rolling over and dismounting and running towards the winery.

Lin Wanrong entered the restaurant and ran straight upstairs. The place on the third floor was very wide. He found the position he was aiming at, but saw empty figures, and there was no trace of Uncle Wei.

This is strange. Could it be that my eyes are blurred?That blind old man has obviously returned to his hometown, so how could he appear in Hangzhou?He thought to himself and went downstairs in disappointment.

In a private room upstairs, there were several pairs of eyes that kept annotating him.

A middle-aged man with a pale face, wearing a yellow satin robe, with a graceful temperament. Looking at Lin Wanrong's figure, he said lightly: Is this the Lin Wanrong you are talking about?

Report to the master, this is this person.There was an old man standing next to him, his eyes were empty, and he turned out to be a blind man. When he heard the middle-aged man ask, the blind old man hurriedly answered respectfully.

The middle-aged man looked at Lin Wanrong with great interest, nodded and said: This kid is smart. I will sit with you for a while, but he will catch him.Have the Xiao family’s business operations been his idea recently?

According to the investigation by the slave's eyewitness, it was indeed what Lin Wanrong did.The blind old man said.

The middle-aged man smiled and said: He has a good idea and can get some money.Judging from his swaying head up, he doesn't seem to be a good person to mess with. It's quite interesting to see what you described.Is the person in the carriage from the Xiao family?

Yes, in my opinion, it should be the eldest lady of the Xiao family.The old man said respectfully.

Miss Xiao?A hint of sadness flashed across the middle-aged man's face and sighed: Twenty years have passed in a flash, but I didn't expect her daughter to grow up so old.

He seemed to have a look of recollection on his face and said: You have been in the Xiao family over the years, how have you lived in Miss Guo?The middle-aged man's expression changed very quickly. After saying this, hesitated a little on his face and returned to Gu Jing Bubo's expression.

According to my master, from the perspective of a slave, Miss Guo has been having a hard time over the years.The Xiao family’s master passed away one after another. It was really not easy for the Xiao family to work hard on her. It was not until the eldest lady grew up that she became more idle.

The middle-aged man nodded and said: I don’t know if she still remembers me?I was still too cautious back then and missed the opportunity.

The blind old man hurriedly said: Master, it was your forbearance back then that made great achievements. The servant was infinitely admired.

Tolerance?I endured too much.A trace of harshness flashed across his face and said: Do Miss Guo know your identity for the years you have been in the Xiao family?

She didn't know, I just said that she was the servant of Mr. Xiao's old friend back then, so Miss Guo always trusted me very much.When I left the Xiao family, I recommended this Lin Wanrong to the Xiao family again.The old man said.

The middle-aged man's face regained his indifference and said: Listen to the things you mentioned, Lin Wanrong has some tricks. Let him protect Xiao's family first, and other things will be checked slowly.

It was not easy to get this praise from the middle-aged man. The blind old man responded quickly, and his empty eyes flashed with a clear light.

Lin Wanrong returned to the eldest lady's carriage, Xiao Yuruo looked at him and said: What are you doing, so reckless?

Lin Wanrong didn't look for Old Man Wei, and was in a bad mood. He nodded and said: I saw an old friend, oh, it's Uncle Wei, you should know, Miss, right?

Wei Bo?The eldest lady frowned and said: Of course I know him. He is the disciple of my grandfather’s former close friend. He stayed in our Xiao family for many years and left a few months ago.Do you know him?

It turns out that he is the old man’s old friend. No wonder this old Wei doesn’t have to do anything and can support his elderly family in Xiao’s family.

Lin Wanrong told the origin of his relationship with Old Wei, and the eldest lady nodded and said: It turns out that you were recommended by Uncle Wei, no wonder. Uncle Wei's vision has always been very accurate, and his mother has always respected him very much.

Lin Wanrong laughed and said: The young lady’s vision is not bad either.

You are a thick-skinned person.The lady whispered.

The Xiao family’s branch in Hangzhou has a very large courtyard and is directly opposite the West Lake. It is also considered a golden land in Hangzhou.The shopkeeper was a capable woman in her forties and fifties.

Miss, you're here.The shopkeeper held the lady's hand and smiled.

Madam Zhang, I haven’t seen you for many days. Are you in good health?The young lady seemed very kind to the shopkeeper.

Madam Zhang smiled and said: OK, it’s very good, I’ve thanked my wife and the lady for their blessings.

This is my wet nurse when I was a kid.The young lady introduced to Lin Wanrong.

It turned out to be a nurse, no wonder she was so kind. Lin Wanrong bowed to Madam Zhang and said: Madam Zhang, hello, look at your kind-hearted look, you will know that you are a kind-hearted person. My name is Lin San. Madam will take care of me in the future.

Madam Zhang smiled and said, "You are Lin San Ah. I heard many people in the house mention it. It's good, but it's true that you have a good appearance."Since you are here in Hangzhou, you and the young lady live here with confidence, and I will take care of everything.

The lady's face turned red and screamed anxiously, probably because she could hear some ambiguity in this sentence.

The eldest lady was too sensitive, and I hadn't even thought about that aspect. Lin Wanrong smiled and the eldest lady's face turned red again, and she glared at him.

The Xiao family’s time-honored brand is indeed well-known. This Hangzhou semicolon is not only in a very good location, but also leans on the edge of West Lake, but also covers a large area and has several courtyards of all sizes.

The eldest lady seemed to have seen through Lin Wanrong's thoughts and said proudly: This house is also the ancestral property of my Xiao family.

The Xiao family is really a big landlord. Not only does it have several big houses in Jinling, but it also has a luxury house in this prime location in Hangzhou City, which is really amazing.

Madam Zhang led her group into the house. The eldest lady arranged a room for everyone, and then asked Madam Zhang: Madam, when was the invitation from the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce written?

Madam Zhang said: It is arranged on the Qingyu Tower above Su Dike on the day after tomorrow.President Yu of the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce has already delivered the invitation.

That means there are at least two days before this. Xiao Yuruo nodded and said: Since that's the case, let's stay in Hangzhou for two days first, and we can promote the soap and perfume first.

Madam Zhang said in surprise: Miss, can the perfume be supplied now?Many of the officials and ladies from other families have come to ask, but I have been pushing it again and again.

The eldest lady smiled and said: Since I have been waiting for so long, I might as well wait. There is only a limited quantity of 100 bottles in Hangzhou. It is not too late to let these ladies and wives register and make a book first, and then notify them when the goods arrive.

Madam Zhang responded, and the eldest lady was very happy to see that the perfume was so popular. She glanced at Lin Wanrong and said to Madam Zhang: Madam, how effective is the soap I sent you a few days ago?It turned out that the day after Lin Wanrong finished the experiment, the eldest lady was so quick that she took the soap to Hangzhou to test the reactions of all parties first.

Madam Zhang said: What is the difference between the things the young lady brought. Apart from perfume, the soap is the most popular. Unfortunately, the amount is too small, so I only tried it for a few familiar ladies and ladies, and the response was very good.The price is also very moderate.

The eldest lady smiled and said: This soap can be supplied in half a month, nanny, don’t worry.

After saying a few words to Madam Zhang, the eldest lady was very excited and even her fatigue decreased a lot. Seeing that everyone was in a state of distress, she said: Today, everyone has been rushing for a day and is also tired.Let’s take a day off tomorrow. The ten scenic spots of West Lake are famous all over the world. Let’s go to West Lake to take a look.

As she said this, she glanced at Lin Wanrong intentionally or unintentionally.

In his previous life, Lin Wanrong from Hangzhou had been here several times. Although he was not very familiar with West Lake, he was not unfamiliar with him. He laughed and said: Since that's the case, then we will follow the eldest lady tomorrow, so as not to miss the problem.

This perfume soap is popular in Hangzhou. The young lady was in a good mood and said with a smile: That's good, you guys will follow me tomorrow.I came to Hangzhou several times, but I didn’t have time to go stroll around West Lake. I happened to have free tomorrow.

The young lady is so interested and is traveling for public expenses, so the fool doesn't go.

Lin Wanrong returned to his room and just yawned and was about to go to bed, but when he heard the knock on the door outside, the maid Xiao Cui's voice came and said: Third brother, Miss, please come over and talk.

What are you doing? It’s so late and you won’t have a break. This girl is really hard at work.

The eldest lady's room was opposite Lin Wanrong's room across the yard. When she entered her room, she saw that she had just washed up. She smiled gracefully, had bright eyes and was looking at him with a smile.

Smelling the faint fragrance from the eldest lady's body, Lin Wanrong felt a little itchy. This girl became gentle and had a unique charm.

Xiao Yuruo looked at him and said: Lin San, sit down and talk.

Maybe it was because of the night that the young lady spoke softly and became gentle and gentle: I have been rushing all day today, so you are tired too.After we finish speaking, you can go back early to rest.

Lin Wanrong smiled and said: Miss, you can hold on as a woman, so why are I tired?

Xiao Yuruo smiled bitterly and said: I have long been used to walking like this.I came to you today to tell you about the annual meeting of the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce.In two days, I will take you to attend this annual meeting. The opportunity is rare, so you must observe and study hard.

Lin Wanrong said strangely: Miss, what does this Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce do?

The young lady nodded and said: Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce, to put it simply, is an alliance of major merchants in Hangzhou. They are leaders in all walks of life, control the business affairs of Zhejiang Province, and have a huge influence.

As soon as the eldest lady said that, Lin Wanrong understood and asked: Does Jinling also have a chamber of commerce?

Of course there is.The young lady nodded and said: The strength of the Jinling Chamber of Commerce is not inferior to that of the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce.A few years ago, our Xiao family was the leader of the Jinling Chamber of Commerce. Later, our family was in a dilemma and the president gave it to others.Jiangnan is rich and the world is abundant. Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces have mastered the lifeline of the world's economy. The Jinling Chamber of Commerce and Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce can be said to be the most powerful chamber of commerce in the country. The exchanges between the two are very close, and they invite each other at every annual meeting.Last year's annual meeting was held in Jinling, and this year's annual meeting is Hangzhou's turn.

The communication between such commercial organizations is very normal, and Lin Wanrong can understand it and said: So what should we do at this annual meeting?

The eldest lady said: It’s nothing more than discussing the business situation in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces over the past year, as well as emerging industries and businesses.Both chambers of commerce have great strength, so merchants in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are proud to attend the annual meeting.

Lin Wanrong thought for a while and said: Miss, you came to me late at night. Will there be any difficulties this year?

The eldest lady looked at him with appreciation and said: Lin San, if I had attended this annual meeting in previous years, I would not have any worries.But this year is different. Our business direction has changed a lot recently, and these must have fallen into the eyes of those who are interested.The profits of perfume and soap are huge, and there will be some troubles at this annual meeting.

Lin Wanrong understood what the eldest lady meant. People were afraid of being famous and pigs were afraid of being strong. Although the Xiao family had been doing cloth business in recent years, it was getting worse and worse. Suddenly, they found two livelihoods with huge benefits, which would definitely arouse jealousy from others.

This annual meeting is a top grand event for wealthy businessmen in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. It won’t work if they don’t come. If they come, they will be questioned again. This is a problem.

Lin Wanrong thought for a while and said: Miss, since our Xiao family belongs to the Jinling Guild, the president of the Jinling Chamber of Commerce should also protect you.

The eldest lady smiled bitterly and said: If it were in previous years, it would be possible, but this year it would not be possible.

Lin Wanrong said: Why?

Xiao Yuruo looked at him and said: You have offended everyone, how can you protect me?

Lin Wanrong said in surprise: Is the president of the Jinling Chamber of Commerce Tao Dongcheng?

The eldest lady gave him a blank look: Finally, you are not stupid enough.After our Xiao family fell, the Tao family replaced it and became the leader of the Jinling Chamber of Commerce.

Lin Wanrong suddenly remembered something and said: That Tao Wanying is Tao Dongcheng's sister, right?

The young lady nodded, Lin Wanrong smiled. As expected, looking at the girl's wildness, you know that she was not an honest master.

Lin Wanrong continued: Miss, I have another question to ask. The Suzhou-Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce has such an important position in the country. Will there be someone in the capital who will come to participate in this annual meeting?

The young lady looked at him in surprise and said: You really have some gaze. The Suzhou-Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce has a special status. At every annual meeting, the emperor will send representatives to come here, but this year I don’t know who will send you.

As expected, the emperor would never sit idly by the Jiangnan granary, and important figures must be present at the annual meeting of the Suzhou-Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce.

Lin Wanrong thought hard, and the eldest lady sighed softly: I told you this, and I hope you will be prepared earlier and not be at a loss when the time comes.

Seeing that the eldest lady was frowning and worried, Lin Wanrong smiled and said: Miss, everything has a solution, don’t think too much now.Have you forgotten what I said to you today?Learn to relax and vent.

The eldest lady smiled slightly and said: I only went to visit the West Lake after listening to you. If I followed my usual temperament, I would not be able to get free.

Lin Wanrong smiled and said nothing.

He was still thinking about the chamber of commerce.

People's greed is endless. If it is really as the eldest lady said, and everyone is staring at the Xiao family now, then the situation will be a little bad for the Xiao family.
