He tried to calm himself down and quickly analyzed the pros and cons: "Boss Wang, I was too harsh. The Chamber of Commerce welcomes you to join us anytime."

Wang Yiyi found a place to sit down, crossed his legs, and looked nonchalant.

She took the jade pendant out of her bosom again: "Attire, if you had done this earlier, there would have been no need to ruin the harmony. You're getting old, you should be enjoying your retirement, why bother arguing with us young people?"

This still shows she wasn't appeased.

Xingtou had no choice but to lower his stance again: "Boss Wang is right, but I have managed the Chamber of Commerce for so many years. If I were to step down rashly, the entire jade industry in Shi County would probably be in complete chaos."

Wang Yi tilted her head, seemingly puzzled: "The rules for custom-made items from the Chamber of Commerce are still in effect, right? Does that mean the old rules no longer apply after changing the outfit?"

His attire was so worn out that he wanted to find someone to beat Wang Yiyi up.

He's clearly old enough to be his granddaughter, so why is he so difficult to deal with?

He clenched his fist, his face hardening: "I've lived in Shixian for most of my life, and I'm not without connections. Why are you being so aggressive, Boss Wang? We're all just trying to make a living."

"Let me be your outfit."

What?

Xingtou thought he had misheard, but after looking into Wang Yiyi's eyes, he realized it didn't seem fake.

What's the difference between this and re-establishing the chamber of commerce?

He has already backed down again and again; this Wang Yiyi is going too far.

He also lost his temper: "Impossible. If Boss Wang were really capable, he would just establish another chamber of commerce."

He refused to believe it; could some young girl really turn the world upside down?

Wang Yi glanced at the outfit, said nothing, picked up the jade pendant he had just taken out, and walked away leisurely.

Xing Tou watched helplessly as Wang Yiyi left, so angry that he almost vomited blood.

The younger generation these days is so immature.

With a grim face, he beckoned to his subordinates: "Bring everyone from the guild here."

He's just someone who has some connections with the county magistrate; he's not afraid of him at all.

After Wang Yiyi left the house, he immediately dropped his carefree attitude.

She had inquired about Xing Tou's personality; he was the type to hold a grudge and seek revenge.

She didn't want to offend anyone, so she sent her visiting card early on. But the person was completely oblivious. Well, she couldn't blame her; she had already offended him anyway.

Now she needs to figure out what to do.

She desperately needs allies.

She immediately went to find Chen Dusheng.

Chen Dusheng had just finished class when he saw Wang Yiyi approaching with an unhappy expression.

Has something happened at the store?

He quickly tidied himself up and ran over: "Boss?"

Wang Yiyi recounted everything that had just happened to Chen Dusheng.

He gave a wry smile: "I've really offended people."

It turned out that nothing had happened at the store. Chen Dusheng relaxed and said, "So what if I offended him? That guy wasn't a good person to begin with."

Wang Yi's eyes lit up immediately: "You think so too? The Chamber of Commerce was originally established to make it easier for everyone to do business, but this person has used it as a tool to make things difficult for others. I've had the idea of ​​re-establishing a Chamber of Commerce for a long time."

Chen Dusheng was startled by this statement. According to the rules, there should only be one chamber of commerce in a place. Establishing a new chamber of commerce would inevitably offend many people.

After considering it for a moment, he still voiced his opposition: "Boss, your idea is good, but the Chamber of Commerce has been established for many years, and various forces are deeply intertwined. If you rashly establish a Chamber of Commerce, you may become the target of everyone's criticism."

Wang Yi waved his hand dismissively: "I know, as long as the benefits are good enough, I'm not worried about these people not coming."

She poured herself a cup of tea and continued, "The Chamber of Commerce is nothing more than a means to regulate competitors, liaise with the government, and mediate disputes. We're all here because of our interests, so I plan to revise these rules."

Chen Dusheng still looked worried: "Master, this matter is not so simple. Wu Xingtou is not only a member of the Chamber of Commerce, but he also owns the largest jewelry store in Shixian County. I heard that he has a distant relative who does jade business in the capital and even has connections with the palace. We can't afford to offend someone like that."

Wang Yiyi said with a disdainful look: "Just a distant relative in legend. I've inquired, and this Wu Xingtou only has some businesses in Shi County."

In a small border town, how many big jewelry merchants can stay for long?

She looked determined: "I've made up my mind. I'll revise the rules. I'll tell you what to say, and you write it down."

Helpless, Chen Dusheng sighed and wrote as Wang Yiyi had instructed.

Wang Yi glanced at it, and after the ink dried, he put the paper into his pocket.

He went straight to the deputy bank manager's house.

Since ancient times, the two people in charge and the deputy have always been at odds, and this deputy was no exception, always having some dissatisfaction with Wu, the head of the business.

The deputy head of the branch office, surnamed Zheng, was more approachable than the head of the branch office, Wu, and Wang Yiyi met him quickly.

She cupped her hands in a respectful greeting and cut to the chase: "Manager Zheng, you must have heard about what happened to me at Manager Wu's place, right?"

Zheng Xingtou nodded. Just now, Wu Xingtou had hurriedly called everyone over.

He declined, citing illness.

"Boss Wang, as someone who's been through this, let me give you some advice. You're still young. If you have the protection of the Chamber of Commerce, doing business will be easier. There's no need to go against Wu the Merchant."

Wang Yiyi smiled slightly; this person seemed much easier to get along with than Wu Xingtou.

She pulled a piece of paper from her bosom: "These are the new rules I've set for the Chamber of Commerce. If Zheng is willing to help me, you will be the official head of the Chamber of Commerce from now on."

Zheng Xingtou looked at the paper, becoming more and more shocked.

It not only clearly outlines the mutual assistance among everyone, but also exempts them from paying annual fees to the Chamber of Commerce, and even specifies tax reduction policies with the government.

If all of these goals are achieved, the jade business in Shixian County will surely be revitalized.

In addition, Shi County is close to the Dayong Kingdom, so it is no surprise that it will become the premier jade city in the Great Qi Kingdom.

He was somewhat agitated: "Boss Wang, is all of this true?"

Wang Yi patted his chest and assured, "Of course, as you know, I have a good relationship with the county magistrate, and I can even speak to the Southwest Army. To be honest, General Xie and I also have some connections."

Zheng Xingtou was starting to believe Wang Yiyi. For them, who were merchants, having connections in the imperial court would make everything much easier.

However, seeing how young Wang Yi was, he had some doubts.

He suppressed his excitement: "Master Wu has always acted arbitrarily. In recent years, the jade business in our Shixian County has become increasingly difficult. Boss Wang should have heard about this. Shenji Jewelry Store in the west of the city is currently experiencing cash flow problems and is about to have to sell the store to pay off debts. I wonder if Boss Wang has any solutions?"

Is this a test?

Wang Yi raised an eyebrow, considered for a moment, and then spoke: "Shen Ji is in such a difficult situation right now, the Chamber of Commerce must lend a helping hand. However, helping him through this temporary crisis is not a long-term solution. I need to go and see Shen Ji. Only when the business prospers can it be a long-term solution."

She doesn't have that much money to give directly, so her only option now is to see if she can revive Shen's business.
