"Hey, keep it. It's just a small token of your appreciation. If it weren't for you, we would have been wandering around in Luguang Town for a long time." The thin man answered him.

"Well, I won't be polite then. Thank you, sir." Qian Fugui accepted the silver ingot after hearing this.

"Dear guests, please sit down for a moment. I will go and invite our shopkeeper." Qian Fugui bowed and walked out.

"Boss, just as you expected, these people really came to inquire about the tooth powder business. This is the reward they gave me." Qian Fugui handed the silver given to him by the thin man to Yi Yami.

Yi Yami took a look at the silver ingot and realized that these people were definitely not good people.

"You keep it. What did you say to them?" Yiyami returned the silver to him and asked.

"I said that this Yang's Grocery Store is Mr. Yang's business. I also said that you know Mr. Yang. If you want to do business with Mr. Yang, you can introduce him. But as for whether Mr. Yang wants to do business with them, that is Mr. Yang's business." Qian Fugui said truthfully.

"Yeah, that's okay. Next time, if it's someone you're not very familiar with or just a stranger, don't say so much. Just keep it to the point." Yiyami nodded.

"Yes, remember, boss, those people said they want to see you. I'm here to tell you the news. Would you like to go and take a look?" Qian Fugui asked.

"Of course I have to go and see him. Let's go. Lead the way." Yiyami put down the rag in his hand.

"Please come this way, boss." Qian Fugui put the money away and led her to the private room.

As soon as they met, those people complimented Yi Yami, "Shopkeeper Yi is really a young and promising man. It's not easy for him to run such a big shop at such a young age!"

Yi Yami smiled and replied, "No, no, not many of you have big businesses. I wonder if you came here this time to cooperate with Master Yang?"

"Of course we want to cooperate, but whether Mr. Yang is willing is another matter. Could Manager Yi introduce him to us? We will reward him handsomely!" said the thin man.

"No problem. What should I call this person?" Yiyami asked.

"Zhao Yingman." said the thin man.

"Okay, Manager Zhao, I will invite Mr. Yang to come over for a chat at this time tomorrow. You can talk to him then." Yi Yami said.

"Okay, this is just a small token of our appreciation, not a token of respect. We will reward you handsomely after the matter is done." Zhao Yingman took out a fifty-liang silver note and put it in Yi Yami's hand.

Yi Yami smiled and said, "Then I wish Manager Zhao and the other managers can get what they want!"

Zhao Yingman and a few others laughed heartily. Before leaving, Zhao Yingman packed up several servings of food.

Yi Yami smiled and sent these people away.

"Fugui, go tell Master Yang that the enemy is coming." Yi Yami put away her smile the next second.

"Okay, boss, do you want to let Mr. Yang come over to talk?" Qian Fugui asked.

"No need. Just tell him what happened today, and then tell him that you will come over tomorrow. We can tell you the details after you finish talking to these people tomorrow." Yi Yami instructed.

"Okay, I'll go right away." Qian Fugui ran towards the Yang family.

"Yimi, I'm hungry. Give me some rice! I want to eat lobster."

Gu Beijian yelled.

"You look like a big lobster to me." Yi Yami choked him.

"Oh, what's wrong? Is someone angry with you?" Gu Beijian raised his eyebrows.

"You see, when you are famous, you are prone to gossip. People are afraid of being famous just like pigs are afraid of being fat. So soon, an enemy comes to ask for cooperation. Judging from the amount of the reward, he is either an enemy or a generous collaborator, but I feel it is more like the former." Yi Yami waved the fifty-liang silver note in his hand at him.

"You're so stingy. You only gave fifty taels. If it were me, I would give you a hundred taels directly." Gu Beijian took a look and said disdainfully.

"Yes, yes, yes, who can be as heroic as you, Master Gu~" Yi Yami said with a smile, but she was asking people to serve food to Gu Beijian.

"Don't worry, I'll ask Tianqing to keep an eye on these people and won't let them cause any trouble." Gu Beijian said in a relaxed tone.

…

The second day.

"Oh, Manager Zhao, right? Amy told me about you. I heard that you want to cooperate with me, right?" Yang Zeju asked.

"Yes, we want to discuss this cooperation with Manager Yang." Zhao Yingman smiled.

"Okay, Brother Yang, you guys take your time talking. Call me if you have anything." After saying that, Yi Yami stepped out.

"Shopkeeper Yang, what is this kind of cooperation generally like? This is the first time for me and my brothers to cooperate with you. We don't know the ins and outs of it. We hope that you can give us a clear path. We brothers really want to cooperate with Brother Yang." Zhao Yingman smiled shrewdly.

When Yang Zeju heard him call him "Brother Yang", judging by his appearance, he probably wasn't much younger than him. He felt unhappy, but he didn't know whether the other party was an enemy or a friend, so he patiently said, "It's like this. We have one agent per state. For example, in Haozhou, Chu Yundi is already selling, so no one else can sell there. The towns under the state can only be managed by the state's agent and other partners will not break the rules. This not only protects the interests of the state's agent, but also makes it easier for us to manage it ourselves."

"I understand. What are the conditions for cooperating with Brother Yang?" Zhao Yingman asked.

"Don't call me Brother Yang. I'm not much older than you. Just call me Manager Yang." Yang Zeju felt angry and pointed out his dissatisfaction.

"Okay, okay, I thought you seemed happy to hear Manager Yi call you that, so I wanted to make you happier, so I followed suit." Zhao Yingman explained.

"Ami and I have a special relationship. Okay, let's not talk about that. Let's talk about the conditions of cooperation. In our cooperation, we will produce the goods, and then you will pick up the goods. We are not responsible for transportation. If we were responsible for transportation, the cost would be different. And we will not tell you about the core of production. You are only responsible for sales." Yang Zeju said.

Yang Zeju couldn't help but roll his eyes in his heart. What does it mean to shout along? Can he compare with Yi Yami? There is absolutely no comparison, okay!

When Zhao Yingman heard this, he thought that this was not possible. He came here to seek cooperation just to know how to produce it. If he knew how to produce it, he would not want to cooperate with Yang Zeju at all. Couldn't he do it himself?

"I see that you all don't seem to want to cooperate like this, so you should think about it carefully. If you want to cooperate, come to Yiji to register. If not, just consider it as fate and come here for a cup of tea. Well, I have something else to do, so I won't see you off. I'll leave first." Seeing that no one spoke, Yang Zeju said this, then left the private room and went upstairs to find Yi Yami.

Several people looked at each other and said, "Brother Zhao, what should we do?"

"What else can we do? Are you willing to be someone's lackey and sell things for them, or are you willing to make your own decisions and be your own boss? You can do whatever you want. I don't believe that in such a big workshop, there is no one who is not tempted by money." Zhao Yingman shook his sleeves and left.

The few people who stayed behind looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
