Chapter 233: Find a Master to Talk About Chapter
The next morning, the servants brought the food. Xie Jiaojiao ate some and then got up and went out, taking with her the two maids that Steward Wang had bought for her. Yesterday, Steward Wang knew that they were going to stay in the Jiang Mansion, so he immediately brought the two maids with him to take care of their daily life.
So much time had passed that Xie Jiaojiao had forgotten the names of the two maids, so she asked, and they said, "Madam, we don't have names yet."
Xie Jiaojiao immediately opened her mouth and randomly named two people: "One is Chunxiang, the other is Qiuxiang."
The two of them immediately knelt down respectfully in front of Xie Jiaojiao to thank her for giving them the name.
Xie Jiaojiao hurriedly helped the two of them up: "We are a family from now on, don't kneel down at every turn."
Xie Jiaojiao went directly to Manager Li’s inn.
When Li Baoshan saw her coming, he quickly put down the pen in his hand and came out to greet her.
"Young lady!"
Xie Jiaojiao nodded and asked with a smile: "Shopkeeper Li, how is business recently?"
Li Baoshan's face was wrinkled with laughter: "Thanks to the way the young lady came up with to attract customers, the inn is already fully booked every day shortly after the beginning of the new year."
"Then at the end of this year, Shopkeeper Li will probably get a lot of year-end bonuses again!"
Li Baoshan thought of the silver note he received last year, and an expression of excitement immediately appeared on his face.
Xie Jiaojiao smiled slightly: "I wonder if Boss Gao Shen Gao is at the inn today?"
Just as Li Baoshan was about to answer, Gao Shen came down from the stairs.
"Big girl!"
Xie Jiaojiao looked up and immediately shouted, "Brother Gao!"
Gao Shen walked downstairs quickly: "You told me yesterday that I have been waiting for you since I got up this morning!"
Xie Jiaojiao smiled and nodded.
"How about we find a place to talk?"
Gao Shen nodded immediately: "I see that Manager Chen is helping you manage Xiangyuan Tower now, why don't you go to Xiangyuan Tower? I've wanted to watch Wu Song fighting the tiger on the third floor for a long time."
"Okay! Brother Gao, please."
"Girl please!"
Xie Jiaojiao said hello to Manager Li, and then went to Xiangyuan Tower with Gao Shen.
The storyteller on the first floor talked about last year's Journey to the West and this year's Dream of the Red Chamber.
Everybody listened attentively.
As soon as Shopkeeper Chen saw Xie Jiaojiao, he quickly put down his work and came over to greet her.
Xie Jiaojiao smiled and said, "It's okay. I'll bring Brother Gao here to discuss something. You can go ahead and do your thing."
When Shopkeeper Chen heard this, he quickly asked someone to make tea and brought some snacks to the third floor.
But it's still early and the show hasn't started yet.
However, there were some diners on the third floor, and they seemed to be discussing business.
Two of the senior experts knew each other and went up to say hello.
The two men sat down, and Gao Shen said, "The man with the beard is from the same hometown as me. His name is Sun Guangcai, and he specializes in the bush business. The other man with the hat, who looks younger, is called Ma Zhen, and he does the land transportation business."
Xie Jiaojiao nodded.
She couldn't help but look at Ma Zhen a few more times. Just then, Ma Zhen turned his head to look at her. The two of them nodded slightly as a greeting.
Xie Jiaojiao poured tea for Gao Shen.
Gao Shen took a sip and asked, "If I remember correctly, your husband's family is in the transportation business. Why do you..."
Needless to say, Xie Jiaojiao knew what he was going to say.
"I know Brother Gao. He must have asked around. He should also know the reason why my husband and my father-in-law don't get along."
Gao Shen nodded: "But we are still a family after all."
Xie Jiaojiao smiled softly: "What Brother Gao said is not wrong..."
Then he talked about the previous price increase of JAC.
Gao Shen was a little surprised after hearing this: "Your father-in-law didn't do this very well!"
"That's not it!"
In fact, if it was just because of a small matter, and Jiang Huaian raised the price because he was angry with them, Xie Jiaojiao would not think it was a big deal. Just like Gao Shen said, they are a family after all!
But the relationship between Jiang Weinan and Jiang Huaian is not that simple. Jiang Huaian obviously only has the title of a father, but he has never fulfilled the responsibilities of a father for a single day.
For so many years, he could just leave Jiang Weinan in the town and ignore him, and was even unwilling to spend money on his son. The only money he spent was the money that Jiang Weinan asked for last time!
Except for the time after they got married, when they lived in the Jiang Mansion, if Jiang Weinan went to the Jiang Mansion before, he would just say hello and leave!
So Xie Jiaojiao felt that no matter how much money Jiang Huaian had at home, it might not get to Jiang Weinan in the end. Instead, why should she let him make money from her?
Moreover, Jiang Li's death is closely related to Jiang Huaian. According to people of her era, Jiang Huaian is a heartless, cheating, and scumbag!
So she also wanted to vent her anger on behalf of her mother-in-law whom she had never met!
That’s why I thought about starting my own transportation business, preferably bigger and stronger, to surpass Jianghuaian!
Gao Shen said, "If it's land transportation, there's Ma Zhen over there, he's also very good at it, there's rarely any problem with the goods in his hands, but his business is not big, so he usually only takes on some individual customers, if it's a big business, he can't do it!"
At this point, Gao Shen said, "Isn't there a family named He in your town? They are also engaged in transportation, both land and water transportation! I remember that his son and your husband are brothers!"
Xie Jiaojiao nodded: "Weinan told me about his family before, but you know, his family is in the town after all, and this scale..."
Gao Shen nodded, "That's right! However, the He family's reputation is still good in the hearts of businessmen like us. The most important thing is that they have a route they have bought a long time ago. Over the years, I have rarely heard of any problems with their transportation. And to be honest, your town is not far from the county town. If it were me, a casual businessman like me, I would rather transport farther to find a company like theirs. After all, their company is in town and the price is much cheaper!"
Xie Jiaojiao disagreed: "That shouldn't be the case! His family is in town, if they are hosting individual guests, then the price should be higher!"
Gao Shen drank a cup of tea and said, "You don't know this, right? Let me tell you..."
