Chapter 220: Sue the Official

Yunniang took the rice paper handed over by Linxi and looked around. This was a type she had never seen before, but it felt extremely smooth. "What is this?"

"Silk rice paper." Lin Xi said with a smile.

Yunniang looked at the thing in her hand in shock. No wonder she had never seen it before. It turned out that this was the so-called silk rice paper.

"I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Lin Xi, and I'm responsible for making the so-called silk rice paper. But my own place is not big enough, so I want to cooperate with a place like yours." Lin Xi said.

Yunniang looked at Lin Xi and was somewhat surprised. "You want to cooperate with us?"

"Yes, boss, are you willing to cooperate with me?" Lin Xi said.

A quarter of an hour later.

After hearing what Lin Xi said, Yunniang said unhappily, "You said so much, but you just want me to sell the shop to you! How can I agree to this!"

Lin Xi thought about it and realized that this shop was left to Yunniang by her husband, so she would probably not be willing to sell it.

"Yunniang, think about it, it's not easy to run this shop by yourself. But if you cooperate with me in the silk paper business, you can make much more money than now." Lin Xi said, "Although I own the shop, I can assure you that you will still be the one running it, and your children can still inherit it in the future."

Yunniang was not shaken at all by the extremely high price offered by Lin Xi, "No matter what, I will never give you the shop!"

"Yun Niang," Lin Xi guessed that the other party had some misunderstandings about him, "The reason why I want to buy your shop is because I want to expand production in a short period of time. Your signboard still belongs to you. Once you get the money, you can open a new store."

Lin Xi took a lot of effort to make Yunniang understand that he was not trying to attack anyone, he just wanted to start giving birth as soon as possible.

As for why he had to buy it, it was mainly because Lin Xi wanted to integrate all these equipment and people into one place.

After hearing all that Lin Xi said, Yunniang did not give a direct answer. She just said, "Let me go back and think about it."

Lin Xi understood that this matter was of great importance and that people must be given time to think carefully about it.

…

On the other side, Wu Minjian heard that Lin Xi had started to inquire with the owners of various paper mills, wanting to buy their places, and he immediately felt that a disaster was about to happen.

He ordered people to invite most of his colleagues from the county.

In the crowd, Wu Minjian said, "Everyone should know that Lin Xi has been buying paper mills everywhere recently. I don't know what she wants to do."

Someone said, "It's strange. Didn't she make her fortune selling bacon? What does it have to do with our papermaking business?"

"You're also selling bacon. Your news is too delayed." Another boss said, "Boss Wu, you may not know that since Lin Xi brought Zhang Chengye back, he has set up a place to produce rice paper in Taoli Village. Now he is making a big fuss to buy our store. I guess he wants to take over the rice paper business in the county."

Wu Minjian nodded, "I think so too. Lin Xi is trying to take away all of our jobs. Don't be fooled by her generous words now. Once she really gets the shop, we will be like fish on the chopping board, at the mercy of others."

Everyone was talking about it, but basically agreed with Wu Minjian's opinion.

"Boss Wu, what do you say we should do?"

Wu Minjian was a little depressed and looked at everyone, "Boss, I have an idea, but I don't know if you support it or not."

At the gate of the county government office.

In the afternoon, the gatekeeper was drowsy, when suddenly a group of people stood in front of him.

The yamen runner was somewhat familiar with Wu Minjian. He shuddered and said with a flattering smile, "Isn't this Boss Wu? What brings you here today?"

Wu Minjian smiled and said, "Your Excellency is here, we have something important to do."

The yamen runner hurriedly said, "Boss Wu, please wait a moment. I will go and tell our master first."

After saying this, the bailiff happily ran off to pass on the message.

When Hang Qi heard that Wu Minjian came to find him, he was a little confused. He didn't usually deal with these businessmen, so why did he suddenly find him now?

But since the other person has come, there is no reason for Hang Qi not to see him.

Back garden.

When Hang Qi arrived here, he was shocked to find that not only Wu Minjian came, but also dozens of businessmen followed him.

The master didn't expect them to have such a big presence, and said in surprise, "Boss Wu, you have quite a few people here."

Wu Minjian frowned, "Sir, we really have no other choice but to come to you. Otherwise, if there are some small things on weekdays, we can solve them ourselves, so why would we bother you?"

"Okay, stop talking. What exactly do you want from me?" Hang Qi asked.

Businessmen like them never get straight to the point. They first presented Hang Qi with a can of new tea and said, "Your Excellency seems to have been in the capital before. This is the most popular tea in the capital. I asked many friends to get this much."

Hang Qi looked at the small jar of tea in front of him, and thought that he had almost no chance to go to the capital in this life, and felt sad.

When Wu Minjian saw it, he immediately felt something was not right. It seemed that Hang Qi did not like this.

He quickly changed the subject, "Sir, this is what happened. Someone came here recently and wanted to buy all our shops. You know, we are all small businesses, each doing its own thing, but if all are bought, then the entire county's rice paper business will be in the hands of one person."

Hang Qi frowned. It was understandable that people wanted to expand their business. There was no need for them to come here to complain.

The lawyer twisted his beard and asked curiously, "Who has such abundant financial resources to buy all your shops?"

Wu Minjian saw the opportunity and said quickly, "Sir, this person is none other than Lin Xi from Taoli Village!"

As soon as Hang Qi heard Lin Xi's name, he felt a headache. Why was it this woman again? She was really the biggest stumbling block in his life.

The lawyer's head was buzzing. The county magistrate couldn't bear to hear the word Lin Xi. He quickly said, "Boss Wu, you can handle these things by yourselves. If Lin Xi wants to buy it, you can just not sell it. Why do you have to come here to make a fuss?"

The lawyer's tone was unprecedentedly harsh, leaving Wu Jian at a loss.

What's going on? Isn't it said that the county magistrate has a very bad relationship with Lin Xi? Now that there is such a good opportunity, the county magistrate actually refuses it?

“But…” Wu Minjian still didn’t give up.

"But what? You are bothering the county magistrate with such a small matter. I think you are just looking for trouble." The lawyer started to drive people away while speaking.

Everyone was stunned and didn't understand why the master reacted so strongly when Lin Xi was mentioned just now.

"Sir, we are really not kidding. If the business is all in the hands of one person, the price of paper in our Lianggu County will probably remain high in the future. This is very bad news for the students!" said a boss.
