Chapter 89 Using people and then running away

Wang Yi hesitated for only a second before smiling and accepting the silver note: "It's all a misunderstanding. Miss Xian'er is a very sentimental person. I admire her very much."

Magistrate Li glanced at Xie Yu furtively, and seeing that he seemed unconcerned, he relaxed and said with a smile, "It's good that the misunderstanding has been cleared up. We will definitely expedite the procedures for Boss Wang to open his shop."

Wang Yi was satisfied; the purpose of the meal had been achieved, and there was no point in eating any more.

"If it weren't for General Xie's busy military affairs, I would definitely take you to see my shop."

Xie Yu's eyes darkened. This was someone who used her and then dumped her.

He smiled and said, "I'm actually quite interested in Miss Wang's shop today, since it's a day off."

Why can't this man understand? In front of Magistrate Li, Wang Yiyi still pretended to be very happy: "Then, General Xie, would you please come in?"

Ignoring Magistrate Li standing to the side, the two went out together.

Magistrate Li watched the two figures disappear before slumping back into his chair, then angrily ate a couple more bites of food.

He will not forget the humiliation of today.

Once he becomes related to the governor by marriage, he will definitely not let these two off the hook.

As soon as she stepped outside, Wang Yiyi's expression changed, her politeness tinged with distance: "General Xie, my shop is still under renovation, so I won't invite you over."

Xie Yu's lips twitched: "You want to run away after just using someone? You have no conscience. Do you believe I'll go tell Magistrate Li right now that we have no relationship?"

Wang Yiyi immediately fawned over him: "Look at what you're saying, we're sworn brothers. Aren't you here to look after the shop? I'll take you there right away."

Xie Yu was satisfied and felt much more at ease.

Xie Yu didn't actually go to see him; he had other things to do in the army, and it was already a rare treat for him to be able to come out for a meal.

Wang Yiyi respectfully saw the person off.

To avoid any unforeseen complications, she immediately went to the county government office to complete the necessary paperwork.

Just as she finished, she saw Li Xian'er rushing towards her angrily: "You bitch, I'm going to beat you to death!"

Her father came back and scolded her again. Coupled with her hair loss, she could no longer control herself. When she heard that Wang Yiyi had come to the county government, she rushed out without thinking.

Wang Yi dodged to the side and clicked his tongue twice: "Miss Li, we have no grudges against each other, why are you shouting for a fight? You really look like a shrew."

Upon hearing this, Li Xian'er became even more enraged and immediately tried to tear Wang Yiyi apart.

She couldn't beat the assassin, but she was helpless against a young lady from a respectable family.

She turned around and stuck out another foot, causing Li Xian'er to fall flat on her face.

The veil on her head also fell off.

Wang Yi swallowed the words she was about to say, and instead opened her eyes wide. How did Li Xian'er become bald?

After the initial shock, she immediately burst into laughter.

It's really hard not to laugh.

Enraged, Li Xian'er quickly covered her head, left a harsh remark, and ran away in a panic.

Wang Yi laughed for a long time before stopping.

Li Xian'er must have done too many bad things; even alopecia areata has happened to her.

But it's a good thing, at least the marriage will have to wait for a while, which will allow her to focus on preparing for the shop.

The people Chen Dusheng hired were quite reliable; the shop was almost ready in just half a month.

At the same time, the idea that wearing agate can protect the home and ensure peace, that boys who wear Hetian jade will surely become top scholars in the imperial examinations, and that girls who wear Hetian jade will surely marry into a good family, also spread.

Even the Li family had heard about it and believed it without a doubt.

"Sanya, did you bring back a lot of these things from your last trip to the Northwest? Give me an agate; I want to keep it at home for good luck once our house is built."

Even before the shop opened, these rumors were already flying around, and Wang Yiyi had to admire Chen Dusheng's ability to make up stories.

It's easy to make up a story, but it's not easy to make a story believable.

She chuckled and handed the largest piece of agate to Madam Li, saying, "Mother, is this enough to ward off evil spirits?"

Li took it like a treasure: "That's enough, that's enough. I searched all over the city but couldn't find any for sale. I heard that people in the capital buy them."

Wang Yi smiled, wondering what Mrs. Li would think if she knew that this was all made up by her daughter.

Daya and Erya also looked a little excited. These days, they listened to Sanya and only displayed a few jade jewelry pieces, sometimes only one a day, and any more had to be pre-ordered.

Unexpectedly, business is booming; even an ordinary bracelet is now being sold for one or two taels of silver.

Even so, some people still fought over it.

The three sisters exchanged glances and decided not to tell Li the truth.

Wang Yiyi chose an auspicious day and opened the shop.

The first shop in Shixian County to sell Hetian jade, agate, and other Northwest jade stones, coupled with previous promotions and even the county magistrate's personal visit, made the store extremely popular from the moment it opened.

Wang Yiyi brought back a limited quantity; it will take another two months for Luo Yan's goods to arrive.

After discussing it with Chen Dusheng, she decided to use scarcity marketing.

Unexpectedly, they made a fortune on the first day and sold out of goods very early.

Wang Yi counted the money with a beaming smile. "Manager Chen, how did you manage to convince everyone in Shi County of the power of these jade stones in just half a month?"

She was genuinely curious about this. Even in her previous era, it would have been very difficult to create a product that could brainwash the entire population.

Chen Dusheng stopped using the abacus: "It's not that difficult. I first sent some small gifts to the servants of the wealthy, so that they would mention it to their masters intentionally or unintentionally. I also specially made a few auspicious omens, and they believed it to be true. The wealthy believed it, and the ordinary people naturally followed suit. In addition, our goods are much cheaper than the jade in the Great Yong Kingdom, so they flocked to them."

Chen Dusheng spoke casually, but Wang Yiyi knew it wasn't that simple.

"Manager Chen is truly talented; his abilities are wasted in my humble shop."

"No, without my employer, I wouldn't be where I am today. The money my employer gave me solved my immediate problem." Chen Dusheng looked at Wang Yiyi with gratitude.

Wang Yiyi asked curiously, "Actually, I've always been curious about what you urgently need money for. Your parents are in good health, you're their only son, and you don't have any bad habits. I give you so much dividends, yet you can't even afford to buy yourself a new set of clothes?"

Seeing that Chen Dusheng's clothes were faded and even frayed, she couldn't understand where the money had gone.

After she became rich, the first thing she did was to change her outfit.

Chen Dusheng remained silent for a long time before slowly speaking: "Setting up a primary school class also costs a lot of money."

The elementary school class wouldn't cost more than a few hundred taels of silver, but Wang Yiyi believed it: "So elementary school classes are this expensive. From now on, I'll give you one hundred taels of silver every month. Let's contribute our share to the cause of education."

Chen Dusheng refused without hesitation: "I have enough money. If I need money in the future, I will ask the employer directly."

Wang Yiyi didn't take it to heart: "Okay, you can tell me anytime."
