When she woke up the next day, Big Head and Second Head had already left.

Knowing that today was a big day for the business meeting, she quickly tidied herself up and headed out.

Without saying a word, Li stuffed a few cakes into her hands: "No matter how busy you are, you have to eat. You can't go hungry."

Wang Yi hurriedly replied and ran out the door.

She went to the store first, and only went to the Chamber of Commerce after learning that everything was going smoothly.

Perhaps following orders, the gatekeeper stopped Wang Yiyi immediately upon seeing her: "You are not a member of the Chamber of Commerce, you cannot enter."

Wang Yi gave him a cold glance: "It'll be over after today."

The gatekeeper remained unmoved and simply blocked Wang Yi from entering.

Forcing his way in was out of the question, so Wang Yi had no choice but to wait outside the door.

Fortunately, Zheng Xingtou arrived shortly afterward. Upon seeing Wang Yiyi at the door, he immediately understood what was going on.

He sternly rebuked the gatekeeper, "You're stopping everyone! When did the Chamber of Commerce ever have such a rule?"

Chambers of commerce are established for businesses, so naturally, anyone who comes is a guest, and they are generally not easily turned away.

This was clearly intentional.

Wang Yiyi had no intention of causing trouble for a doorman, so she restrained the angry Zheng Xingtou and said, "He's just following orders. Let's go in first so as not to delay our business."

With Zheng, the shopkeeper, present, naturally dared not stop them anymore.

When almost everyone had arrived, Wu Xingtou slowly emerged, leaning on a cane.

Wang Yiyi thought of Tea Lady again. Her appearance was absolutely stunning, while Wu Xingtou's appearance was really an eyesore.

As soon as he came out, someone rushed over to help him up: "What happened to you, Mr. Wu? You need to take care of your health. We're all counting on you."

Wu Xingtou said nothing, only sighed repeatedly and wiped his eyes. After sitting down in the main seat, he said, "I'm old and useless now, no wonder Boss Wang is like this."

Everyone was furious when they heard this. The news that Wang Yi had Wu Xingtou thrown out a few days ago was already widely known, but no one expected that Wang Yi would be so ruthless.

Wang Yiyi looked at Wu Xingtou in disbelief.

That old geezer actually pulled this trick.

Her face turned cold: "That day, Wu, the shopkeeper, sent people to cause trouble in my shop. I had them kicked out, and he was still lively and energetic when he went to the magistrate to complain about me. How come he's limping after just two days?"

Wu Xingtou, on the other hand, appeared very magnanimous: "Alright, alright, I'm old enough to be Boss Wang's grandfather. My own granddaughter is naughty, how can I blame her? Let's get down to business."

Does this confirm the matter?

Wang Yi was so angry that she was about to step forward to argue, but Zheng Xingtou held her back: "Business is more important."

After a few words of discussion, the crowd quieted down, as today's matter was more important.

Seeing that everyone had quieted down, Wu, the head of the business, gave Zheng, the head of the business, a cold look. "Deputy head of the business, you speak."

Zheng Xingtou stood up and bowed to everyone before saying, "I have summoned you all here today for two matters. The first concerns the jade from the Northwest, and the second concerns the new company. As you all know, please share your thoughts."

He was polite in his manner, but his words were anything but polite. He spoke so bluntly that Wu Xingtou's face immediately darkened.

The murmurs among the crowd were even louder than when Wu Xingtou was beaten by Wang Yiyi.

When everyone had finished their discussion, Boss Shen stood up and said, "Gentlemen, the jade market in the Northwest is currently unstoppable. I support Zheng's suggestion to send a caravan to the Northwest."

Mr. Sun quickly followed suit, saying, "I agree too."

The other few, whom Zheng had spoken to beforehand, also agreed, and soon half of them had agreed.

Wu Xingtou sat in the main seat, his face ashen, saying nothing. This man surnamed Zheng had already united most of the people.

The remaining half of the people voted against it, partly because of Wu Xingtou, and partly simply because they felt the risk was too great and not worth it.

Zheng Xingtou remained unperturbed: "Your concerns are not unfounded. Boss Wang has already been to the Northwest. Although the journey is long, there were no bandits along the way, and the official roads were smooth. My caravan will be setting off soon. You may want to wait for our return before making a decision."

After these words, the attitudes of the wavering individuals changed again.

Wu Xingtou finally couldn't hold back any longer and slammed his cane hard on the ground: "You are going to ruin the foundation of our ancestors. Sooner or later, the jade of Shixian County will be destroyed in your hands."

Wang Yi glanced at him: "By sticking to the old ways, you're just courting death. The two countries are not at peace right now, and war will break out sooner or later. It's better to think about an escape route as soon as possible. Wu Xingtou is probably getting old, and it's time to replace him with a younger one."

Before Wu could reply, Zheng immediately continued, "Wu has led us for long enough and it's time for him to enjoy his retirement. The Chamber of Commerce needs young people, so I recommend Wang Yiyi to be our new head of the business."

Zheng Xingtou has been busy changing his clothes these past few days and has convinced quite a few people.

Hearing this, the people looked at each other in confusion, then turned to Zheng, assuming that he was to be appointed as the new head of the business.

Wang Yiyi was genuinely surprised that Zheng Xingtou wanted to promote her to the position. After a moment of stunned silence, she said, "I am still too young to be suitable. Zheng Xingtou should take over."

Zheng Xingtou hurriedly said, "I'm getting old. Northwest jade is a completely new path, and it should be handed over to a hardworking and virtuous young man. I'm afraid I'm afraid I'll be in trouble. Boss Wang is more suitable."

As she spoke, she pulled out another piece of paper from her pocket: "These are what Boss Wang wrote to me before, promising that if she becomes the head of the company, he will definitely keep these promises."

The group took the paper and read it through, then fell silent.

If we can really do all that, what's wrong with using a little kid as an outfit?

Seeing that everyone's attitude was actually softening, Wu Xingtou could no longer bear it: "Wang Yiyi is not a member of the Chamber of Commerce, so she is not qualified to run for head of the company."

A mere kid dares to covet the position of the outfit; if word gets out, where will he put his face?

Zheng Xingtou said seriously, "That's simple, just have Boss Wang join the Chamber of Commerce now."

Wu, the head of the business, was so angry that his face turned as black as the bottom of a pot. He couldn't bring himself to object. If he still objected after a deputy head of the business had spoken out, wouldn't he really lose the support of everyone and truly be done with his position as head of the business?

After a long silence, he said again, "Boss Wang is still young. Isn't it too frivolous for him to take on such an important task?"

Boss Shen stepped forward: "Although Boss Wang is young, he is very righteous. When his peers were in trouble, he not only did not kick them when they were down, but also offered them help. How many people who are old have such a magnanimous heart?"

Wu Xingtou clutched his chest, nearly vomiting blood. Boss Shen was implying that he was abandoning someone in distress and kicking them when they were down.

As soon as he spoke, many people thought of Shen Ji's matter, and the voices of opposition quieted down a bit.
