Marry another wife, the mistress of the marquisate will not serve you anymore

The most prosperous theater in the capital was crowded and bustling, attracting many dignitaries to watch.

In the private room on the second floor, Gu Zecheng, Gu Zeqian, and more than 20 shop owners came together to listen to an opera, but in fact they were discussing important matters in order to conceal their whereabouts.

Gu Zecheng held the teacup, took a sip, and played with the walnuts in his hands, saying:

“Recently, the business of the shop owned by my third brother and I has been very bleak. It has almost been monopolized by Song Wanyin. If it continues like this, I’m afraid it will be difficult to make a living.

I am meeting with you again today, and I am well aware that your business has reached a dead end, while Song Wanyin is thriving and making a fortune.

Especially her silk and satin business, which is booming and making a lot of money. I heard that she has also opened a perfume shop.

It seems that her business is getting bigger and stronger. If the situation continues to develop like this, she will be the only one in a few years. "

Gu Zeqian was calculating fortunes one after another and said in shock:

"Oh no, all of them are bad luck. It looks like our business is in jeopardy."

Upon hearing this, the faces of the hosts present suddenly changed. They lost interest in watching the wonderful opera on the stage downstairs and became uneasy.

"Second Master Gu, Third Master Gu, in your opinion, what should we do now?

The Jia family is finished, and we cannot make the same mistake again."

"Second Master of the Gu Family, you were the elders of that woman after all, and you should be familiar with her personality. Will she force us to lose our foothold in the capital next time?"

"My family runs a silk and satin shop. Ever since that woman opened the shop, my business has been getting worse and worse. I can hardly continue."

"I also run a silk and satin shop. I haven't received any new goods for half a year. The old goods are piled up in the warehouse. I can't sell them even if I sell them at a low price. Now I have lost even the money I paid for my coffin."

"Not to mention my shop. No matter what kind of business it is, as long as that woman opens it, it is doomed to make no money."

"To be honest, I just can't figure it out no matter how hard I try. What on earth is that woman capable of? Why is she the only one who can make so much money?"

Facing the indignation of the crowd, Gu Zecheng couldn't help but come up with an idea. He slowly put down the teacup and said calmly:

"I do have a way to severely damage Song Wanyin's spirit and make her suffer a major setback in the business world.

The most important thing in doing business is integrity. Once you lose trust, it will be difficult to gain the trust of others again."

Gu Zeqian suddenly realized something as if he had suddenly realized:

"Brother, have you come up with a good idea? Tell me about it."

Gu Zecheng picked up a twist slowly and said while eating:

"I heard that Song Wanyin has a batch of silk goods newly imported from Shu, the excellent quality of which is praised as 'the best in the world'.

This batch of her goods has been pre-ordered by many dignitaries, and she will not be able to deliver the goods within the stipulated time.

Do you think that, given the temperament of the nobles, they will continue to patronize her business?"

Gu Zeqian immediately understood his intention, his eyes lit up and he said:

"Second brother, in your opinion, you are planning to intercept this batch of silk goods and prevent Song Wanyin from handing over the goods, thus causing a breach of contract, right?"

Gu Zecheng calmly put down the fried dough twist, looked at everyone, and chuckled:

"That's right. We have to unite now and frame all the shops under Song Wanyin's name. Let her business go bankrupt. Only then can we make a breakthrough."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone applauded and expressed that they would do their best to assist them and work together to destroy Song Wanyin's business.

"Master Gu, you are really smart. This way, we have a chance to turn things around."

"Although this method is a bit despicable, she was the first to be unkind, so don't blame us for being unjust."

"I don't take that woman seriously at all. Anyone who stands in my way of making money will be eliminated, no matter if she is a god or a ghost."

"Second Master Gu, I know some gangsters who make a living on the edge of a knife. As long as they have money, they can do things. You can ask them to intercept the goods."

Gu Zecheng was very pleased to hear this. Rather than having his hands stained with blood, it would be better to kill someone with someone else's knife and keep a clean record.

"Okay, Mr. Lu, you will take the lead in this matter, and the others will assist you in handling it. Only success is allowed, not failure."

Song Wanyin took Xiao Jingheng to visit all the shops under his name. Business in every shop was booming, with long queues forming in front of the doors.

"Brother, I am in this situation today, and half of the credit is thanks to you.

If you hadn't come forward to help me investigate this matter when Jishidiang was in crisis, you would have proved Jishidiang's innocence.

It is impossible for the reputation of the shops under my name to change overnight and become prosperous.”

Xiao Jingheng? It was rare for him to follow her around all the shops. Seeing her current achievements, he felt very proud and said with deep emotion:

"Junior sister, you are a weak woman, but you have the courage to manage the store in an orderly manner. It is really impressive.

I believe that if my teacher knew about this, he would be smiling in his grave.

However, I still want to remind you that a big tree attracts the wind and the wind shakes the tree, and a high reputation hurts people.

Be extremely careful, be cautious, and don't make any mistakes."

Song Wanyin nodded seriously and took note of it. She felt uneasy and sighed softly:

"I am afraid that no matter how careful I am, it is still difficult to guard against an arrow from the dark, even if it is easy to dodge an open attack."

Seeing that it was getting late, Xiao Jingheng remembered that he still had official duties to attend to, and reluctantly said:

"Junior sister, you go ahead and do your work. I have something to do so I'll leave now."

Song Wanyin nodded slightly, watched him get on the carriage, and waved goodbye to him until the carriage drove away.

My senior brother still thinks of me despite his busy schedule. I feel like I owe him a lot, and I'm afraid I'll never be able to repay him for his kindness.

At this time, Shopkeeper Xu of the silk shop was searching the streets for Song Wanyin. Finally, he found her in the crowd and hurried over.

"Girl, girl, something bad has happened."

Seeing that Shopkeeper Xu was running out of breath, Song Wanyin asked in confusion:

"Manager Xu, what happened?"

Shopkeeper Xu seemed to be on fire and said anxiously:

"Miss, we have a batch of new silk goods imported from Shu.

According to the previous time calculation, it should have been delivered half an hour ago.

However, there has been no news until now.

I was worried, so I sent a few guys to meet the Humen Escort Agency that was escorting the cargo, but there has been no news since then."

Song Wanyin suddenly had a bad premonition. Knowing the escort route of the Humen Escort Agency very well, he planned to send someone to look for it.

Whatever you fear will come to you and you can't avoid it.

This batch of silk cargo is extremely important. It is related to the most important word in the business world, "integrity", and no mistakes can be made.

"Manager Xu, please go back and wait, maybe they were just delayed for some time on the way.

If any dignitaries come to pick up the goods, you should try to delay them and show our utmost sincerity, and it would be best if you ask them to come back another day."

Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Xu immediately nodded and agreed:

"As you command, I will go back to look after the silk shop."

Tian Cheng looked at the back of Shopkeeper Xu who left in a hurry and asked in confusion:

"Girl, this matter is very strange. Could it be that someone is interfering?"

Song Wanyin thought about it carefully and suddenly had an idea in his mind:

"It seems that what Senior Brother said is right. We should indeed be on guard against the two troublesome elders of the Gu family. They are about to become restless again."
