Chapter 204 Visiting Card
Although she encountered all kinds of difficulties in the first two months, after she got through it, those channel merchants who had made things difficult for her gradually accepted her.
It is not extremely difficult for a woman to do business, but as long as she does not have bad morals and is really serious about doing business, most men, even if they spit on you, look down on you and obstruct you, actually understand in their hearts that everyone is struggling to make a living. Over time, they will have compassion and give you a way out.
To do business, you do need a bit of "thick-skinned" spirit to make money.
"What's wrong with the boss being a woman? Don't take the guests' cold eyes and contempt to heart." Chen Heng encouraged the servants, "Harmony brings wealth. As long as you don't quarrel with others and greet them warmly every day, it will be nothing after a while. Liugang, today is the day for you. I'm going to give everyone a big red envelope."
"Yes." Liu Gang responded with a smile.
"Thank you, boss." The so-called "everyone" refers to the two waiters who looked at each other excitedly. Although the boss is a woman, she has always been generous to them, and they are willing to follow her.
The day before the Lunar New Year, Nanny Feng was cleaning the house with the servants. Now she is cheerful every day and has a lot of energy when she is working.
Chen Heng checked the food for the New Year and the Lunar New Year. In fact, there were no guests, only these few people, and they couldn't eat much at all, but Nanny Feng said that this was what the mistress should do.
Okay, let’s go through the sequence again.
Xia was busy making dumplings in the house, with all sorts of fillings. It had been so long since she'd experienced such a lively occasion, she'd forgotten what it felt like. Even though there were still many things left to make, the family's life was getting better and better.
At this time, Liu Gang led a servant in and came to Chen Heng: "Boss, someone is looking for you."
"I am a servant of Lord Shi's family. Nice to meet Madam Xie. This is a visiting card from my wife." The servant respectfully handed over a visiting card.
Chen Heng was rarely addressed as Madam. Unlike the Ming Dynasty, where the title of Madam was strictly categorized, only high-ranking officials of the first rank could be called Madam. Some smaller places would also address her as Madam to highlight her nobility, and no one would say anything. But in the imperial capital, aside from officials from the three provinces, six ministries, and a few supervisory departments, and aristocratic families, most people were addressed as "Niangzi" or "Niangzi."
Chen Heng opened the visiting card, and sure enough, it was from Ruan, the wife of the newly appointed Zhongshu Shilang of the Zhongshu Province. She said she wanted to come and visit on the third day of the Lunar New Year, but wondered if she was free.
The previous Zhongshu Shilang, Master Zhang, had just committed suicide in prison, and a new one had taken office so soon, and even sent a visiting card. It seemed that this boss wanted to maintain a good relationship with his subordinate. Shen Heng quickly put on a smile and said, "I should pay my respects to Madam Shi. Since Madam Shi has sent the visiting card, I will wait for Master and Madam Shi at home on the third day of the New Year."
This was the first time that one of Xie Jian's colleagues came to visit.
Xia and Nanny Feng were also very happy when they found out. The fact that their boss came in person showed how much he valued Xie Jian.
That night, when Xie Jian returned, Chen Heng showed him the visiting card: "What does Mr. Shi like to eat? Tell me so that my sister-in-law can make arrangements."
Xie Jian took a look and said, "Just prepare whatever you have. There's no need to mobilize a large force."
"How can that be? He is your superior after all, how can you neglect him? Logically speaking, you should go and pay your respects to him first." Chen Heng was a little puzzled. Xie Jian had always handled his relationships well, so why was he so disrespectful to his new superior?
"Maybe he won't be able to stay in this position for too long."
