Chapter 90 People Who Don't Handle Pressure
The shop opened smoothly, and Chen Dusheng's elementary school was also restarted, this time in Shixian County, which saved a lot of effort.
Today was another teaching day, and Wang Yi deliberately went to Zhao's house early in the morning to knock on the door.
"Xiao Bei, you just started school today."
Wang Xiaobei was surprised that after not having classes for half a month, he suddenly had to go to class and hid in his room, refusing to come out.
Zhao was pulling on Wang Xiaobei's ear when she noticed that the elementary school had been quiet for half a month, and she was thinking of sending the child to another teacher.
Xiao Bei absolutely refused to do it, and since she didn't have the money, she gave up.
The early childhood education classes have finally started again, how could she possibly miss them?
Xiao Bei cried and shouted, "I won't go to school! I'd rather die than go to school!"
Studying is terrible. You have to read things he can't understand in class all the time. It's nothing like the carefree life of fighting crickets or playing with cats and dogs.
Wang Yi waited a while, then called out into the house, "I'm leaving now, or I'll be late."
She was an educated child herself and couldn't bear to watch a child not go to school, but she wouldn't force him if he didn't want to.
By the time Zhao chased after him, Wang Yiyi was already far away.
After dropping off Daya and Erya, Wang Yiyi went to the shop.
Chen Dusheng is not here today, so she has to watch the shop.
Shortly after the store opened, a man walked in, arrogantly surveyed the shop, and finally fixed his gaze on Wang Yiyi: "You must be the owner of this shop, right?"
You can encounter all sorts of things in business. Wang Yiyi smiled and walked over with enthusiasm: "What would you like to buy, sir? Whether you're seeking peace or wealth, I have it all."
The man was arrogant, sizing Wang Yi up before asking, "Has your shop been approved by the Jade Guild?"
Wang Yiyi's smile froze as she realized that the person in front of her was not a guest, but someone sent by Yu Xing.
Every industry has its own rules, and Wang Yiyi knew that if she wanted her business to last, it was essential to maintain good relations with the Jade Merchants Association.
On the very first day she opened her shop, she sent an invitation to the Jade Merchants Association, but they completely ignored her.
She didn't take it to heart. It wasn't that she didn't understand the rules; it was that these people didn't respect her, and she had no reason to fawn over them.
She maintained her polite smile: "I did send out invitations when the shop opened."
The man's face darkened: "The guild leader is too busy to remember you. Take the ledger to the guild now, or you can forget about running this shop."
If this person were nice and gentle, Wang Yiyi would have agreed, but this person is so arrogant and doesn't seem to have any temper at all.
Her tone turned cold and hard: "Sir, if you're not going to buy anything, you'd better leave now so as not to disturb my business."
"You're asking for it! Just you wait!" The man was furious and turned to leave.
Wang Yiyi said slowly, "On the opening day, even the county magistrate sent someone over, and he personally handled all the procedures."
"Hmph, who didn't have the county magistrate's presence when they opened their business?" the man said angrily before leaving.
Wang Yi was dumbfounded. The prestige of a county magistrate opening a business was so low.
After thinking it over, she chose a safety buckle and planned to visit the person in charge of the outfit after closing the shop.
The jade business in Shixian County is already quite mature, so she doesn't need to go against them.
Upon arriving at the guild's entrance, Wang Yiyi explained his purpose.
The gatekeeper just told her to wait, saying he would go and report.
This wait lasted for an hour.
Wang Yiyi gradually grew impatient, and her expression darkened. Just as she was about to leave, the doorman came out to let her in: "The staff were discussing matters just now, please forgive them, Boss Wang."
There was no point in getting angry at a servant, so she gave a soft "hmm" and followed the person leading the way into the courtyard.
The man in the suit was about fifty years old. He was quite polite to Wang Yiyi: "Boss Wang, I've heard so much about you. It's truly remarkable that you can open a jade shop at such a young age."
Wang Yiyi cupped his hands in greeting and handed over the gift, saying, "It's just a small gift, nothing special."
As soon as Xingtou tilted his head slightly, someone immediately took the things from Wang Yiyi's hands.
Xingtou looked at the gift with obvious disdain, but then pretended to like it: "Fine jade."
Wang Yi pretended not to see it and said modestly, "You flatter me. As for your attire, I'm here today to join the Chamber of Commerce."
The man stroked his beard, looking kind, but then said something unpleasant: "Boss Wang, your jade shop hasn't been in business for very long, and we all use jade from Dayong. You're from the Northwest, so I'm afraid you can't join the Chamber of Commerce."
Wang Yiyi's smile faded: "Oh? Does 'attire' mean that jade from the Northwest can't be sold in the Chamber of Commerce?"
The man neither confirmed nor denied it: "There's no precedent for this yet; I need to discuss it with others."
What's there to discuss? He could clearly make the decision, he's just making things difficult for himself.
Wang Yiyi was too lazy to play along and simply took the gift back.
The clothes were placed directly on the table, which made things convenient for her.
Otherwise, she would lose another piece of jade, which she could sell for at least one tael of silver.
Xingtou was stunned by her behavior; he had never seen such a rude person in his life.
Wang Yiyi put the jade into her bosom before speaking: "Since the head of the business says that Northwest jade cannot be sold in the Chamber of Commerce, then it won't be sold. I will set up a Northwest jade Chamber of Commerce and personally serve as its head."
"You, you..." Xing Tou was so angry at these words that his face turned black, and he pointed at Wang Yi for a long time without being able to speak.
Wang Yiyi said in a rather cheerful tone: "I understand the rules of the guild, and I will inform the government. However, my guild leader is different. Northwest Jade also welcomes Dayong Jade."
This is blatant provocation.
I've seen power grabs before, but I've never seen one this direct.
Wang Yiyi was not afraid at all. She acted like a grandson in front of the county magistrate and Xie Yu because she had no choice. They had power and could crush her with a single finger.
But if she has to act like a grandson even in front of someone of high status, then she's just being a grandson to the county magistrate and Xie Yu for nothing.
Since she's so ungrateful, don't blame her for being impolite.
The man's face turned pale as he clutched his chest. "Do you know that the Shi County Jade Guild has been established for a hundred years? What gives you the right to spout such nonsense, you mere child? Let me tell you, without my approval, even if you have the county magistrate backing you up, you can't do business here."
Wang Yi remained completely unfazed, glancing disdainfully at the outfit: "How do you plan to ruin my business? Are you going to send a few people to cause trouble, or are you going to team up with others to ostracize me?"
She leaned closer and lowered her voice, saying, "Joining a guild is just seeking protection. You should know what kind of relationship I have with the county magistrate, and my relationship with the Southwest Army is also extraordinary. Join my guild, and the membership fee will be halved. Do you think you can still afford this kind of attire then?"
With a sinking heart, Wang Yiyi was right. As long as there is profit, what's wrong with changing one's attire?
