Chapter 64: The Aftermath
This turmoil came and went quickly, but the afterglow left behind is lingering; It spread all over the city of Luzhou in a few hours.
A shrewd person with a heart and eye vaguely guesses the crux of the problem through the ins and outs, and some things want to be covered, and when the results are exposed, the people behind the scenes are about to come out.
The Chamber of Commerce was stunned this time, and wanted to make Su Ji stinky and crippled, but Su Ji smashed the conspiracy lightly, but instead of achieving his goal, he received a loud big mouth and helped Su Ji become famous in vain; Public opinion in the city proves this, and it is true that as the saying goes, 'old sows breed - pay for it.'" ''Lost the lady and broke the army'.
Su Ji's cautiousness, meticulousness to customers, and strong sense of prevention helped them get through this crisis, and the biggest contributors were the Rou Niang and Huanniang sisters.
Su Jin didn't know about Su Ji's trademark logo, Zhao Da's shopkeeper didn't know, the masters in the store didn't know, and even the primary school apprentices who were in charge of embroidering the logo didn't know about it, and it was the two sisters of the Song family who really knew the ins and outs.
When Su Jin's world was full of promotions of his new clothes, the two sisters took into account the problem of counterfeit clothes while designing the clothes into a book, not that they knew that someone would use this to slander the Su family, but just out of a kind of self-cherishing conservatism.
Huanniang was the initiator, and she said casually without worry: "Sister, if someone imitates the style of the Su family, won't we make wedding clothes for others in vain?" ”
Rou Niang didn't have such thoughts, and when she heard her, she felt that it was necessary to remind Su Jin, but Su Jin was crazy all over the world, and when she met at night, it was more of a continuous cloud and rain, and she was confused, how could she remember this; Later, the two simply came up with such an idea, and directly changed the word 'Su Ji' to a typo on the decoration of the clothes.
Several primary school apprentices who were responsible for embroidering the logo did not know a single big character, and they only knew that they were drawing scoops according to the gourd, and they did not even know the two characters they embroidered, let alone identify the wrong pen.
Due to the small font of the logo and embroidered on the inconspicuous inner corner, Zhao Da's shopkeeper and the foreman in charge of the shipment inspection just turned the inner corner and gave up when they saw the word Su Ji, and no one would care about this matter.
As the Su family's business gradually became busy, Su Jin was busy hoarding grain, preparing warehouses and other affairs, and finally even the two sisters forgot about it, only the young man who didn't know a single big character in the store still worked hard to embroider the two typos one by one and send them to customers.
In the morning, when the idlers came to make trouble, when they saw that Su Ji was about to be ruined, Huanniang suddenly remembered this matter, isn't this the best way to distinguish the authenticity, so there was a big reversal later.
"There is a providence in the dark." Su Jin sat in the study and sighed: "If I hadn't met you two sisters, my Su family would have recognized it today, you two are really the guardian goddesses of my Su Jin." ”
Although the two sisters in front of them didn't understand what the 'guardian goddess' was, they also guessed that this was a highly respected compliment, and they were so ashamed that their faces were flushed and they hung their heads silently.
Xiao Sui'er held a corn cob and gnawed on it, and interjected on the side: "Call the little maid to say, this is the blessing of the son, if it weren't for your kindness to take in Rou Niang and Sister Huanniang, there would not be such a good reward." ”
Rou Niang and Huanniang helped Gongzi to tide over the difficulties this time, Xiao Sui'er also liked it very much, she was annoyed that she couldn't think of this good way beforehand, otherwise she could have stepped forward this time and rescued Gongzi from danger, see if Gongzi still dares to see himself as a useless little girl, but since he doesn't have this ability, and people Rou Niang Huanniang has this ability, as long as she can help the Su family and help Gongzi, Xiao Sui'er will take a look at them.
But that was in his heart, and Xiao Sui'er was unwilling to attribute the credit to the two of them, so he gave the credit to the ethereal 'Blessed Man' and other reasons.
The three of them all knew Xiao Sui'er's temper, but they didn't blame her for talking too much, but Rou Niang followed her words and said: "What Sui'er sister said is very reasonable, blessed people don't have to worry, even if there is no solution that our sister came up with by mistake, Childe will definitely be able to deal with it calmly; The son is blessed by the Queen Mother of Guanyin Bodhisattva. ”
Su Jin rolled his eyes and said in his heart: This little mouth is sweet, and he is not arrogant, but he attributes all the credit to others, which is really two flowers of interpretation; But why are all the women who bless me like the Queen Mother of Guanyin? Couldn't it be Maitreya Buddha? Or am I too lustful in their eyes, and even the Bodhisattva who blesses me has been arranged into two girls.
There is no need to dwell on this question, even if the two sisters are very humble, Su Jin still indisputably attributed the credit to the two sisters, and gave birth to the name of 'consultant' on the head of the second daughter.
The position of the two women's consultants, according to Su Jin's requirements, is that Su Ji's stores can make suggestions and improvement strategies, which can be suggested to the old shopkeepers, or directly to Su Jin, in fact, Su Jin has assigned himself two assistants.
The two girls gladly accepted, after all, the position of adviser was many times higher than that of the maid who served the pen and ink, and it sounded better to say; Although the two daughters are in ruins, they still have the self-motivation in their bones; In fact, they didn't know that in Su Jin's opinion, there was not much difference between a consultant and a handmaiden.
……
Lang Shaodong sat at the long table of the Chamber of Commerce with his head drooped, he really didn't expect that his first fight with Su Ji would end up in the desert and run away, he was full of confidence He thought it was an easy thing, he grabbed a good errand to do, and he could use this as a credit, and he could get a piece of the pie when he divided Su Ji in the future.
What I didn't expect was that Su Ji's strict defense was unheard of, how could there be any reason to change his own traditional logo? And it's a typo, what's it called?
However, Su Ji changed like this, changed the direction of things, and also changed his impression of being able to practice in the mind of President Tang Jiyuan, and I am afraid it will be difficult to speak in the future.
President Tang sat quietly at the other end of the long table, listening to Lang Shaodong's sad and sad explanation of the origin of the matter in detail, and at the same time he was annoyed by Lang Shaodong's cleverness.
"You all look down on Su Jin, this kid, you are used to being arrogant on weekdays, and you don't think about it at all, will the person who can play so many tricks in the grain shop incident be easy to get? I don't check all aspects of Su Ji carefully, even if it is forged, it must be forged, and even the mistakes and omissions of the logo are not checked to do it, and it is reasonable to return home, Lang Shaodong, you let the old man be very disappointed in you. ”
Lang Shaodong lowered his head and blamed himself again and again, his attitude was extremely humble, and he didn't know who he was angry with, and his anger was churning endlessly, and it was difficult to calm down.
"Forget it, this matter is over, Lang Shaodong doesn't need to blame himself too much, after all, Su Ji is as cunning as a fox, even the old man almost fell into their way, the old man is not surprised by this failure, but it is a pity that the great opportunity is lost, but it reminds Su Ji to be more vigilant in the future, fortunately, the mouths of the leaders you are looking for are also strict, and the Lord of Futai symbolically beat them with twenty sticks, they just said that they cheated some money to spend money, and they didn't say a word, but they didn't cause any trouble."
Chairman Tang paused, sighed and said, "You go to clean up the aftermath, give some money to gag your mouth, you can't let these people be dissatisfied and make a storm in the city." ”
Lang Shaodong stood up respectfully and withdrew; Tang Jiyuan sat in the empty chamber of commerce, standing still for a long time, and when the candle flame was shining, his black figure flickered on the snow-white wall, jumping and dancing like a devil.
