Parents are busy farming

After paying the money, he sat back in his chair and started drinking tea and chatting with people he got along with.

Those who were still waiting to get their money kept looking outside the door. They didn't want to be the last one, as that wouldn't look good.

Before Zi Zifen started weaving, the female owner of a cloth shop that she often visited sat down next to her and started asking for information from Zi Zifen.

"Miss Ye, Yuanhang Cloth Store is your property! I didn't know about it before. I took a look at your fabrics when Yuanhang Cloth Store opened. The weaving method is quite novel. It is different from the original Qian Family Cloth Store. The batch is the same, I don’t know where you got this cloth from!”

Zi Zifen has a good impression of this landlady. She once sold the clothes she made herself to this landlady.

"That's cloth woven by my own cloth shop. It's naturally different from other places. But I understand what you mean when you ask me this. It's not that I'm stingy in not providing you with supplies, but that your shop is not as good as Yuanhang Cloth Shop." What kind of competitiveness is there? Yuanhang Cloth Store now has many branches. If you want to buy our cloth and sell it, the profit will not be very big."

Ye Zifen told the truth and did not hide anything.

The female shopkeeper looked a little embarrassed when she heard this. It seemed that the opening of Yuanhang Buzhuang had brought a lot of competitive pressure to them.

Seeing her in trouble, Ye Zifen couldn't bear it.

Then he suggested: "If I were you, I would do better in my ready-to-wear department, because now Yuanhang Clothing Store does not sell ready-to-wear at all."

"You mean you don't plan to go into the ready-to-wear business when traveling to Clothing Store?" The female shopkeeper's voice was full of surprise.

Ye Zifen shook her head and said: "Making ready-made clothes requires too many female workers and good embroiderers. Yuanhang does not have so many branches, so how much more manpower will it take. Some people also need management. What I lack most now is management. Naturally at the moment I won’t consider this.”

"Thank you, Miss Ye. I will rectify my shop when I get back." The female shopkeeper said gratefully.

This is also her biggest gain from coming here today, even though she took part of the money to join the Chamber of Commerce.

But the idea given by Zifen just now gave her more confidence to continue opening the store.

After the female shopkeeper settled the matter, she began to ask Ye Zifen: "Why didn't your female shopkeeper from Yuanhang Buzhuang come?"

Ye Zifen thought of Luo Keren, with a sweet smile on her lips.

Said: "Shopkeeper Luo is about to get married. I will ask her to rest at home for a while after the wedding, and the cloth shop will open again!"

"Really? That's great news. Miss Ye is also a good owner! Are you interested in the president of the Chamber of Commerce?"

In line with the idea of ​​​​giving a peach in return, the female shopkeeper wants to recommend Ye Zifen as the president of the chamber of commerce.

Ye Zifen shook his head, "I don't want to be the president myself, but I will recommend Shopkeeper Pang. At least I can trust his character!"

The female shopkeeper immediately understood what Ye Zifen meant, and returned to her seat to chat with a few familiar people next to her.

"Miss Ye, did you start canvassing for votes so early?"

The shopkeeper of Fushoulou had just paid the money and happened to see the female shopkeeper leaving, so he came to Ye Zifen.

Ye Zifen raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and then said: "I am not interested in the position of president. First, because I am young and cannot bear weight. Second, I may not be in the county after the year, so I am not interested in this position. Things weren’t interesting.”

I don’t know why, but the shopkeeper of Fushou Tower felt relieved after hearing Zi Zifen say that she would not compete for the president of the Chamber of Commerce.

Looking back at the people he was friends with, he was even more determined to win the position of president of the Chamber of Commerce.

Ye Zifen glanced at Lu Zili, Li Song and Wang Sheng each, and then nudged Pang Chao with his chin.

The three people immediately understood what Ye Zifen meant and walked towards the shopkeepers with whom they were friendly.

After everyone paid the money, they returned to their seats. During this period, they had already made their own decisions.

The Registrar stood up and bowed deeply to everyone present.

"Thank you for your trust in the Yamen and for your help. I would like to thank you on behalf of the Yamen. Every movement of these funds will be recorded in the account books in real time. You are welcome to check the accounts at any time."

The shopkeeper of Fushou Tower quickly said: "There are difficulties in the county. As businessmen, we should take action in time. Sir, you are so polite."

"Yes...yes, yes..." Then everyone agreed.

Lu Zili then said: "Since everyone has joined the Chamber of Commerce, how about we elect the president of the Chamber of Commerce and representatives from all walks of life in front of the Registrar?"

The shopkeeper of Fushoulou glanced at the master registrar and then at Lu Zili, feeling a little angry inside.

But since Lu Zili had said what he said, it was not easy for him to dismiss it on the spot.

"Since everyone here trusts me, then I will be here to bear witness!"

After the Master Registrar finished speaking, those who were still watching immediately had a direction in their minds.

"Then let's choose the president first. If anyone wants to be the president, sign up now, and then prepare a box for these people. Then everyone goes out, leaving only the chief registrar in the room. Each of us puts a blank piece of paper. What do you think about the person you want to choose?"

"Okay, that's a good idea. It's anonymous and won't offend anyone!" Li Song and Wang Sheng quickly agreed.

No one else had any objections, except the shopkeeper of Fushou Tower, whose eyes were a little gloomy.

"Then the next step is to stand up and sign up to be the president!"

After Ye Zifen finished speaking, the shopkeeper of Fushoulou, Pang Chao and three other older businessmen stood up, among them Pang Chao was the youngest.

When everyone saw Pang Chao standing up, they felt even more confident.

Then the head clerk found a few large pieces of rice paper, folded them into rectangles of the same size, cut them and handed them to everyone present.

Then everyone left the room to line up and began to come in one by one to vote.

However, after the first elector entered, he was stopped by Master Bo, who supervised them inside.

Finally, under the witness of everyone, the papers in each box were poured out and the votes were tallied.

After the paper in all the boxes was poured out, everyone saw five boxes that were very different from each other at a glance.

Except for the two boxes that are similar, the other three are very few.

"What a terrible life!" The three people saw that everyone already had the answer in their hearts. Although they were a little disappointed, they still sighed openly.

The shopkeeper of Fushou Tower bowed to the three old shopkeepers and said: "I will give you my permission..."

Then he looked at Pang Chao provocatively.

Seeing that everyone was a little surprised, Lu Zili quickly said: "Since everyone is here, count the votes in front of us and see who can take the position of president in the end."

Then the anchor and the person who had just been left in the room checked the votes on both sides.

Then he cleared his throat and said to everyone: "The difference between the two is only two votes. Shopkeeper Pang won by a small margin."

Ye Zifen smiled slightly when she heard this.

Looking at the shopkeeper of Fushoulou again, his face was livid, his eyes were looking at Pang Chao, wishing he could eat him.

Then Pang Chao bowed and said with a smile to the shopkeeper of Fushoulou: "I accept, I accept!"
