Transmigrating to the Song Dynasty: Water Margin Business Management

Yin Tianxi was terrified by Li Kui's fierce appearance and was furious. He secretly vowed to take revenge.

"What are you idiots standing there for? Go get my work clothes!" Yin Tianxi shouted at the top of his lungs.

Upon hearing this, the subordinate scurried out to fetch the clothes. A moment later, he returned, beaming, carrying a set of clothes and presenting it to Yin Tianxi like a precious treasure.

When Yin Tianxi saw it, he was so angry that he almost fainted. What he saw was a set of eunuch clothes that his subordinate had brought!

"You idiot!" Yin Tianxi jumped up and slapped his subordinate on the head. "I said official robes, official robes! Have you lost your mind? Bringing me eunuch robes, do you want me to become a eunuch in the palace?"

The subordinate, dazed and confused from the beating, covered his head and said aggrievedly, "Young master, I was confused for a moment and thought you were going to change into a special outfit."

"Special my ass!" Yin Tianxi's eyes widened. "You blockhead, why can't you get it right now? Go get it again!"

The subordinate nodded repeatedly in fright and then ran out in a panic.

At this moment, another subordinate cautiously approached and said, "Young Master, don't be angry. He's just an idiot. We'll teach him a lesson later."

Yin Tianxi snorted: "Wait until he gets back, I'll teach him a lesson!"

After a while, the subordinate finally returned, carrying a set of clothes in his hand, and said with a big smile, "Young master, this time it's definitely not wrong, it's official uniform."

Yin Tianxi took it and his expression changed again. The official robe was wrinkled and looked like it had been fished out of a pickle jar.

"Hey, where did you find this in the trash heap?" Yin Tianxi roared again. "How can I wear this? How can I go out in public wearing these tattered clothes? How can I go out and take revenge in style?"

The men all lowered their heads, not daring to utter a sound.

Yin Tianxi paced around the room in anger, pointing at their noses and yelling, "You're all useless idiots! You can't even handle this little thing! What use are you to me?"

At this moment, the subordinate who went to get the clothes first said timidly, "Young master, why don't we find a tailor to fix the clothes?"

"Hurry up and get going!" Yin Tianxi kicked him. "Move faster, or you'll be sorry if you delay my important business!"

The men quickly got to work again, some looking for tailors, others tidying up the rooms, and the whole house was in complete chaos.

After a long while, the tailor finally finished tidying up the official robes. Yin Tianxi put on the robes and looked at himself in the mirror from left to right, but he still wasn't quite satisfied.

"This outfit still looks a bit off," Yin Tianxi said, frowning.

His men quickly flattered him, saying, "Young Master, you are naturally handsome and dashing; you look good in anything."

Yin Tianxi rolled his eyes at them: "Stop flattering us! Let's leave it at that for now. We'll make a few new ones after we get our revenge."

This time, Yin Tianxi led a large group of his men to Zhao Tianming's restaurant again.

Upon entering, the sheer scale of the scene intimidated the other guests. Yin Tianxi swaggered in, found a spacious seat, and plopped down, his men quickly gathering around him.

Li Kui watched this scene from the corner, thinking to himself, "Hmph, now that people have arrived, I'll see what tricks Yin Tianxi is up to this time." But he wasn't angry; he just observed quietly.

When Zhao Tianming saw Yin Tianxi arrive, his heart skipped a beat. He knew this man was difficult to deal with, but he could only bite the bullet and go forward to greet him.

Yin Tianxi raised his head and said loudly, "Manager Zhao, bring me all your best wine and dishes!"

Zhao Tianming quickly replied, "Alright, Young Master Yin, please wait a moment."

Before long, the waiters brought out fine wine and food, filling the table to the brim. Yin Tianxi and his men immediately began to eat and drink heartily, the scene was one of swift and decisive devouring.

Just as everyone was enjoying their meal, they suddenly heard one of the subordinates shout, "Hey, there's a fly in this food!"

That shout drew everyone's attention.

Upon hearing this, Yin Tianxi slammed his chopsticks on the table and roared, "Zhao Tianming, what do you mean by this? Are you trying to fool me with food that has flies in it?"

Zhao Tianming quickly ran over, smiling apologetically, and said, "Young Master Yin, this must be a misunderstanding. I'll get you a replacement right away."

"Change it?" Yin Tianxi persisted. "The hygiene of your restaurant is so poor, you've ruined my mood for the whole day!"

At this moment, another subordinate chimed in, "That's right, young master, we can't just let this go, we have to make him give us an explanation."

Zhao Tianming was sweating profusely and said, "Young Master Yin, you are a very generous person. This time it's on me. The food and drinks are all free. Is that alright?"

Yin Tianxi sneered, "No money? You think I'm short of money? This matter won't be resolved so easily today!"

As he spoke, he stood up and kicked over the stool next to him.

His men joined in the clamor: "Yes, we can't let them get away with this!"

Zhao Tianming said helplessly, "Then, Young Master Yin, what do you suggest we do?"

Yin Tianxi's eyes darted around, and he said, "Either you compensate me with a thousand taels of silver, or this restaurant is mine!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Tianming nearly fainted: "Young Master Yin, this is unacceptable! My small business doesn't have that much money."

Upon hearing that something had happened at the restaurant, Wu Yong rushed over. He saw Yin Tianxi and his gang causing a huge commotion and immediately had an idea.

Wu Yong quietly called Li Kui out and whispered a few words in his ear. After hearing this, Li Kui grinned, turned around and went to the kitchen to dip some stinky tofu in the sauce. Then he tiptoed behind Yin Tianxi and quietly smeared it on Yin Tianxi's body.

Soon, the flies outside seemed to have smelled some delicious treat, and they all buzzed around Yin Tianxi. Yin Tianxi was yelling and cursing when he suddenly felt countless small black dots flying around him.

He waved his hands to shoo it away, saying, "Hey, what's going on here?"

At this moment, Li Kui laughed loudly and said, "How dare you say our restaurant is unhygienic? You're the one who attracted all these flies!"

Yin Tianxi looked completely bewildered, not yet realizing what was happening. His men were also dumbfounded, unsure of what to do.

Li Kui continued, "Look, look! Your smell has attracted flies, and you're saying there's something wrong with our food!"

Yin Tianxi's face turned red with anger: "Nonsense, how could that be!"

But the flies didn't care what he said and kept circling around him.

Wu Yong smiled and said, "Young Master Yin, the facts are right in front of you, you can't deny them."

Yin Tianxi was both anxious and angry, but he had nothing to say.

The others in the restaurant couldn't help but burst into laughter at the sight. Yin Tianxi felt he had lost face and wanted to lash out, but he was afraid that Li Kui and Wu Yong might have some other tricks up their sleeves.

In the end, he could only slink away from the restaurant with his men, leaving everyone behind laughing uproariously.

Yin Tianxi was furious when his business failed at Zhao Tianming's restaurant, but he didn't expect that he would not be able to make Zhao Tianming suffer this time either.

With a grim face, he asked his men, "What do you think we should do?"

A group of cunning advisors started chattering amongst themselves.

Someone suggested, "Why don't we throw a few bricks into their yard?"

Upon hearing this, Yin Tianxi roared, "What good are these low-down, childish tactics? Even if you smash a few bumps on Zhao Tianming's head, will that solve the problem? A bunch of idiots!"

Another henchman quickly stepped forward and said, "Young master, how about we go to his doorstep in the middle of the night and throw excrement at him?"

Yin Tianxi glared at him: "Do you want the whole street to know that I did such a disgusting thing?"

Another person cautiously suggested, "Why don't we spread rumors that Zhao Tianming's restaurant uses expired ingredients?"

Yin Tianxi stomped his feet in anger: "If they bring out fresh ingredients to prove it, won't we become a laughing stock?"

Everyone chimed in with their own ideas, each one more absurd than the last, which infuriated Yin Tianxi to the point of madness.

"Shut up, all of you!" Yin Tianxi roared. "Not a single useful idea! You're all so eloquent all the time, but when it really matters, you're all useless!"

His men were so frightened that they dared not utter a sound or even breathe loudly.

Yin Tianxi paced around a few times, then his eyes lit up and he said, "I've got it! Let's find some thugs and hooligans to cause trouble at his restaurant every day, so that no customers dare to come in. Let's see how he can run his business then!"

The men chimed in, "Young Master is brilliant! That's a great idea!"

Yin Tianxi laughed smugly: "Hmph, Zhao Tianming, let's see how you fight me this time!"

Yin Tianxi immediately ordered his men to find the most notorious local ruffian. A short while later, his men returned with the news: "Found him!"

Yin Tianxi asked urgently, "Who is it?"

His subordinate hurriedly told him, "Zhang San and his gang are the most notorious; they're scoundrels and ruffians."

Yin Tianxi frowned and asked, "What abilities does Zhang San and his gang have? Are they worthy of such a famous title?"

The subordinate hurriedly replied, "Young Master, Zhang San and his gang are notorious for their tyranny on the streets. No one dares to mess with them. They steal chickens and dogs, extort money, and do all sorts of bad things. They are notorious in this area."

Yin Tianxi nodded, a sinister smile playing on his lips: "Hmph, that's perfect. Let them cause trouble at Zhao Tianming's restaurant. I don't believe Zhao Tianming can handle it."

The subordinate then said, "Young master, but Zhang San and his gang are not easy to deal with. It will probably take some money to get them to come."

Yin Tianxi waved his hand and said, "As long as things are done well, what's a little money! Go and talk to them, the price is negotiable, but the job must be done perfectly!"

The subordinate acknowledged and turned to make the arrangements. Yin Tianxi sat in his chair, plotting how he would make sure Zhao Tianming's restaurant went out of business this time.
