Chapter 221: Start with Zhang Chengye
Hang Qi was already upset, and he became even more unhappy when he heard that they were so afraid of Lin Xi.
"If you feel that Lin Xi is a threat, then just boycott her. She has not broken any law or committed any crime. You came to me, what do you want from me?"
Wu Minjian never expected Hang Qi to react like this, and for a moment he didn't know how to react.
The master obviously saw that Hang Qi was in a very bad mood, and hurriedly said, "What are you still doing here? Don't disturb the master's rest."
As he spoke, he drove the person out.
At the gate of the county government office.
Everyone surrounded Wu Minjian, all looking dejected.
"Boss Wu, what do you think we should do now?"
Wu Minjian had no idea what to do. He originally thought that Hang Qi was the best card, but Hang Qi didn't want to pay any attention to him. He really couldn't think of a better way.
"Boss Wu, if you ask me, the key still lies in the person who ran away from your store." someone said.
Wu Minjian was stunned. "Are you talking about Zhang Chengye?"
The man nodded. "Think about it. Lin Xi doesn't know how to make paper. If she buys a shop, she still needs to find someone to work. Besides Zhang Chengye, does she have anyone else?"
"You're right!" Wu Minjian was delighted. This was a good starting point. "Zhang Chengye has an old mother at home who is not in good health. We can start from there."
Taoli Village.
Lin Xi excitedly found Zhang Chengye and said, "You said I couldn't find anyone to cooperate with in the county. I didn't expect that I actually found someone!"
Zhang Chengye looked at Lin Xi. Although he knew that the other party was not the kind of person who would joke around, he still found it hard to believe when he suddenly heard such news.
"Is there a place?" Zhang Chengye asked.
Lin Xi was extremely excited. When she first went to Yunniang to discuss cooperation, she thought that she would not agree. Unexpectedly, she gave her a surprise.
Zhang Chengye was really surprised, but since Lin Xi succeeded, the next step is -
"Do you want me to move back to the county?" Zhang Chengye asked.
Lin Xi nodded, "The workers there don't know anything, so they will definitely need you to guide them. Don't worry about the salary, you won't be short of a penny. Also, your son is already seven years old, it's time for him to start school. The county will soon open a school, you can send him there to study."
These words really hit the spot in Zhang Chengye's heart. His mother's health has stabilized a lot now. She just needs to take the medicine on time and there won't be any big problem.
But my son is growing up day by day, and he can’t just play in the mud in the village forever.
"It's no problem to go back to the county town." Zhang Chengye said, "But my house has been uninhabited for a long time, and it's dark and damp. I'm worried that my mother won't be able to bear it if she moves back."
Lin Xi smiled and said, "Why do you need to worry about this? I have already renovated the whole house for you."
Zhang Chengye was shocked. He hadn't said anything yet, but Lin Xi had even renovated the house. It seemed that she was sure that he would go back.
"But boss, what was the reaction of other shops when you went there this time?" Zhang Chengye asked.
Lin Xi sighed softly, "Sure enough, I can't hide it from you. In fact, as long as Yunniang's family agrees to cooperate with me, everyone else will be very resistant."
Zhang Chengye thought for a moment and said, "Boss, the current situation in the county is not good. I think we should let my mother stay in the village for a while until everything is settled."
Lin Xi felt that what Zhang Chengye said made sense and agreed.
So Zhang Chengye took his son to the county town.
…
After several months, Zhang Chengye's son Zhang Caili returned to his home again. He was a little confused and pointed at his magnificent door and asked, "Dad, is this our home?"
Zhang Chengye himself was also surprised, and suddenly remembered the key that Lin Xi had stuffed into his hand before he left.
I took out the key, inserted it into the keyhole, and the door was opened.
When you walk into the house, all the furnishings look brand new. Lin Xi was being too modest. This is not a renovation, it is a complete reconstruction. Everything is new.
"Dad, our dad is very different from before!" Zhang Caili was young and didn't think too much. He started running around the house, very happy.
Zhang Chengye felt warm at the sight of his son's happy face. He really had stumbled upon a good boss by accident.
Wanlifang.
Wu Minjian looked at the people he had sent out with a serious expression, "Any news about Zhang Chengye?"
Several people looked at each other, but no one dared to speak.
"I'm asking you questions, but you all are silent!" Zhang Chengye said unhappily.
Seeing that the boss was about to get angry if they continued to remain silent, the leader had no choice but to stand up and say, "Boss, Zhang Chengye's house has been sold, how can he come back?"
"The house was sold?" Wu Minjian looked at them in disbelief.
"Yes, boss, it was sold a few months ago. They demolished the original house and rebuilt it completely." said the man.
Wu Minjian was stunned. "He actually sold the house. Is he really not coming back? That's not right. If there was no Zhang Chengye, how could Linxi make paper?"
He was puzzled for a moment, then suddenly slapped his head and said, "Why am I so confused? There are many masters in the store, why do they have to hire Zhang Chengye?"
"By the way, are you keeping an eye on Yunniang?" Wu Minjian asked again.
Ever since he learned that Lin Xi had persuaded Yunniang to buy her store, Zhang Chengye felt something was wrong and immediately sent someone to keep an eye on her.
The leader finally regained some confidence. "Boss, I have found out everything. Lin Xi said that he and Yunniang want to produce a new kind of rice paper together."
"New Xuan paper?" Zhang Chengye has been in this business for decades and has never heard of any new Xuan paper.
"I'm not sure about the details," the man said embarrassedly.
Zhang Chengye glared at the other party fiercely, "What's the use of you?"
"I am incompetent!" the man quickly apologized.
"Go and ask around," Wu Minjian said, then paused. "Forget it, I'll go and ask in person."
After saying that, Wu Minjian hurried out the door.
Walking out of the gate, Wu Minjian headed all the way towards Yunniang's shop. Unexpectedly, halfway there, he met Zhang Chengye who was out buying vegetables with his son.
His former employer was right in front of him, but Zhang Chengye showed no interest. He just glanced at it and pretended not to see it.
At the beginning, he and Wu Minjian had a huge quarrel, and almost everyone in the industry knew about it, so he was too lazy to pretend.
Seeing that Zhang Chengye ignored him, Wu Minjian was immediately furious. After all, he was his former boss, but he was ignored like that.
But it is more important to find out Lin Xi’s plan at the moment.
"Zhang Chengye, why didn't you tell us you were coming to town? After all, we used to work together." Wu Minjian said politely.
Zhang Chengye found it ridiculous. When he was under Wu Minjian's command, the other party never took him seriously. Why was he acting friendly now?
Zhang Chengye just smiled and said, "Boss, please move aside. You are blocking me from buying groceries."
