"I know this is very unethical, but it's a huge guarantee for the people of Longmen County!"
Master Du was getting a little anxious.
This tofu shop certainly provided a great deal of help to the people of Longmen County.
However, there is a big difference between a tofu shop owned by the government and one owned by a merchant.
"I thought you weren't such a vulgar person, but I was wrong about you. Master Du, if you insist on your idea, then... it's better not to say anything more!"
Chi Erchuan subtly gave the order to leave.
If Master Du insists on doing this, then he should find another job!
He, Chi Erchuan, would never work with such a person.
In her sister's words, isn't this just moral blackmail?
Just because the other person is a good person and did a good deed, does that mean you have to demand things from them?
Isn't this just using the guise of doing what's best for the people to actually coerce them?
“Chi Erchuan! I certainly wouldn’t say such things to someone else, but that’s your sister! It’s your family! And you’re the magistrate of Longmen County! There’s not much difference.”
"If there really isn't much difference, then why did you bother coming all this way to tell me this?"
Chi Erchuan sneered.
Master Du's face flushed red and then darkened: "I know what I'm doing is despicable, but what if your sister doesn't mind?"
Whether she minds or not is irrelevant! Because I won't let her know about this!
There's no way he could agree to that.
So your sister won't know about this.
There's no need for my sister to know about such a small matter.
"You're the local official, have you forgotten the oath you swore? It's just a small sacrifice of your family's interests..."
"Then why don't you take out all your family's wealth?"
"Sure, I can do it."
Master Du said earnestly, "As long as it helps all the people of Longmen County, I will give it to them."
"Fine, even if you're willing, I'm not! You don't need to say anything more. Master Du, I want you to know my bottom line!"
After finishing his sentence, Chi Erchuan turned and left without hesitation.
Master Du was somewhat discouraged.
He knew, of course, that what he was doing was despicable, but...
Some people achieve more with just a little effort than they would with years of hard work.
Soon, the secret guards relayed what had happened here to Chi Tang.
After hearing this, Chi Tang fell silent.
Xiao Hong angrily waved her fist and shouted, "Miss, that azalea is so infuriating! I'm going to beat it up!"
He started to walk out as he spoke.
Xiao Lan quickly stopped her and sternly reprimanded, "All actions must be carried out according to Miss's arrangements! If you can't remember that, I don't mind..."
"I can remember it!"
Xiao Hong quickly called out.
Xiao Lan has been getting scarier lately. Could it be true, as the boss said, that Xiao Lan is jealous that someone likes her?
If Xiao Hong were to say it, Xiao Lan would probably get so excited that she would grab a knife and challenge A Chi to a three-hundred-round battle.
"Actually, what Master Du said reminded me."
Chi Tang suddenly said.
She has been overlooking one thing all along.
Her initial intention was indeed for everyone's benefit.
However, it is also an undeniable fact that she profited from it.
Perhaps it's not a big deal in Longmen County, but what about other places?
How about it gradually expand to the entire Dasheng?
By doing this, I will not only encroach on other people's interests, but I will also be hated by other businessmen.
Because he not only shared their profits equally, but also gained a good reputation for himself under the guise of doing good deeds.
and……
She made money to help the people, but other businessmen didn't. Wouldn't that make her disliked by those in power?
Then other businessmen will also be forced to "donate," and at that time, how could they not resent her?
Things cannot be done this way.
"The tofu shop... can no longer be in the hands of the Chi family."
Chi Tang murmured.
"Miss, you didn't actually believe what that azalea said, did you?"
Xiao Hong lost her composure and screamed.
Chi Tang smiled helplessly, handed Xiao Hong a piece of pastry, and then made her sit down again.
Xiao Lan was given the same treatment.
"Xiao Hong, why do you always call him Azalea? Be careful, he might find out one day and come looking for you to fight."
“Come on, I’m not afraid of him! His real name is Du Juan, which is the same as the azalea flower.”
Xiao Hong was smug.
I think I'm so smart.
Chi Tang smiled and shook her head, then said to Xiao Lan, "I'll write a letter in a bit, and you should send it to the capital as quickly as possible."
She absolutely cannot act so ostentatiously in the future.
Even if it's a good thing, it should be done this way.
In fact, it is precisely because it is a good thing that we need to think more carefully to avoid doing bad things with good intentions.
"yes."
"Look, here are some."
Lin Xiran was followed by two maids carrying a lot of books.
The maid placed the book on the table.
Lin Xiran asked somewhat awkwardly, "Can this kind of book even sell?"
She wrote these things for fun when she had nothing else to do.
Her father once said she was wasting her talent.
Chi Tang opened a book, flipped through a few pages, and then said with a smile, "...Is this the book where Liang Wenjun finally makes her husband turn over a new leaf, and the two of them grow old together?"
Lin Xiran's eyes widened slightly, seemingly surprised, but she quickly nodded: "Yes."
How could she know the ending after only flipping through two or three pages?
"But if a prodigal son returns, and it's you, sister, would you forgive him?"
"No." Lin Xiran answered decisively, "I know what you mean, Tangtang, but the stories I've heard since I was little all have this kind of ending, and everyone likes to read them like this."
