Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

Gu Chan, dressed in white, walked in from the gate gracefully.

But this is not the point. What surprised everyone was that there were five old women following her.

The five women were all in their forties, and all of them were plump and ugly. However, they were dressed in colorful clothes and had heavy makeup on their faces, which was really scary.

As soon as they came in, Di Lin, Yuan Jie and Qin Muyang followed in and stood aside to watch the show.

Gu Chan ignored everyone's gazes and walked up to Yan Xishan with the five old ladies. She clasped her fists and saluted him, saying, "I'm sorry, Lord Yan, I'm late and kept you waiting for a long time."

"Gu Chan...you...where did you find these five weirdos?" Yan Xishan stared at the five old women, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Gu Chan smiled and said, "Come, let me introduce them to you. These five are the five aunts in our Jiangnan area, known as the Five Golden Flowers, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green and Blue. Today, as the defendant, I naturally need someone to speak for me, so I invite these five aunts to be my speakers and have a debate with you, the old president."

"You little brat, how can you be allowed to act like this? How can we allow these five women to come and mess around in such a serious occasion?" Guo Huai's face was stiff. He slammed the crutch in his hand and shouted angrily.

Aunt Lan Jinhua, who was dressed in blue and ranked fifth among the five golden flowers, immediately stood in front of Guo Huai, pointed at his nose and cursed, "You stinky old man, do you look down on women? All the men in this world are born by our women. If your mother didn't give birth to you, how could you come into being? Now you still look down on women, which is equivalent to not recognizing your mother. You are unworthy of being the president of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce."

"You...you..." Guo Huai was scolded so hard that he couldn't even fart, and his face turned red!

"Hahaha……"

Seeing how aggrieved the old man was, Gu Chan couldn't help but burst into laughter.

The shopkeepers wanted to laugh but didn't dare to. They felt uncomfortable if they didn't laugh, so they could only smile secretly with their heads down.

Yan Xishan was also amused and said with a smile, "Alright, Mr. Guo, you are the president of the Jiangnan City Chamber of Commerce, why are you arguing with a woman? A blacksmith must be strong himself. You are right, so why are you afraid that Gu Chan will find someone to take charge? He can find whoever he wants, you don't have to worry about him."

"Hmph! I won't argue with a woman, lest you lower my status." Guo Huai cursed angrily.

Aunt Lan ignored him and said directly to Yan Xishan, "Master Yan, we can't just stand here while the two sides are debating! Can you give us a seat as well?"

"Okay, okay, come here, bring up six chairs and give them seats." Yan Xishan waved his hand and ordered.

Several servants immediately brought up six chairs and placed them in a row opposite Guo Huai and others.

After Gu Chan led the five old ladies to sit down, they immediately formed a tough confrontation with Guo Huai and others opposite them.

Yan Xishan sat behind the long table between the two parties, crossed his legs and said, "Okay, now both parties are here. Chairman Guo, since you are the plaintiff, then you should speak first!"

"Okay, then please let Manager Wu come first." Guo Huai nodded.

The middle-aged man sitting next to him immediately stood up and began to maliciously slander the business model of Gu Chan's new shop.

Gu Chan listened the whole time leaning back in his chair, crossing his legs and not saying a word.

Just as Guo Huai's people were maliciously slandering Gu Chan, two carriages from the Chang family and the Xiao family arrived outside the Censorate's Mansion one after another.

Changde and his son, and Xiaoshan and his daughter, all got out of the carriage quickly and rushed in.

Seeing that the debate between the two sides had already begun, they did not interrupt, but quietly walked to the chair in the corner at the back of Guo Huai's side and sat down to watch the debate.

Chang Wei listened to the complaints of Shopkeeper Wu and couldn't help but said worriedly, "Dad, it seems that the old chairman and his men came prepared this time! They maliciously slandered Gu Chan's new shop model of competing to buy it."

"Oh! These people in the Chamber of Commerce are like this. Whenever their interests are affected and they can't make money, they will say black is white and good is bad. I've long been used to it. Next, I want to see how Gu Chan is going to fight them." Chang De said with emotion.

Having done business in the Jiangnan area for decades, he knew the situation of the Chamber of Commerce better than anyone else, so he didn't want to listen to what those people in the Chamber of Commerce said at all. He just wanted to see how Gu Chan would deal with this crisis.

Xiao Xiang stared at the five old ladies sitting next to Gu Chan and said, "Where did he find these five weirdos? They are so funny!"

"This kid is really interesting. He invited five heavily made-up old ladies to help. I really don't understand it at all." Xiao Shan said with a laugh.

After he finished speaking, Chang De and his son couldn't help but laugh out loud.

At this time, Manager Wu's long speech finally came to an end.

After maliciously slandering Gu Chan, he saluted to everyone with a smug look on his face, as if he was very talented. After showing off for a while, he sat back.

Gu Chan looked at the five golden flowers beside her and said, "Five aunts, are you here to take over Manager Wu's trick?"

"Let me do it, let me do it. I've been listening for a long time and I'm fed up with it. I can't help it." Aunt Green, who was dressed in green and ranked fourth among the five golden flowers, said hurriedly.

After saying that, she immediately stood up, put her hands on her hips, and squinted at Shopkeeper Wu with her eyes wide open. She said with a completely shrewish look, "Shopkeeper Wu, if I remember correctly, your family started out by selling Da Li Pills, right? Now, your Da Li Pills are getting more and more expensive, and they cost ten taels of silver each. My husband bought one and took it, but I didn't feel that the medicine was very effective!"

"Hey! What the hell are you talking about? What does this have to do with my medicine? We are talking about the matter of Manager Gu risking his life to buy that thing. Don't attack the medicine I sell!" Manager Wu got angry instantly, raised his finger and pointed at Aunt Green and shouted angrily.

"How did I attack the medicine you sell? I'm telling the truth. My husband bought your medicine and took it, but it didn't work. I didn't feel anything at all. So, you're allowed to sell medicine at a high price, but Manager Gu's medicine is not allowed to be sold cheaply? Besides, Manager Gu said that if he wants to sell this powerful pill, ten people only need to pool their money for nine taels of silver to buy a big pill, and everyone can share it and soak it in water to drink. The effect of the pill is stronger than the powerful pill you sell." Aunt Green was just like a pig biting a pumpkin sideways. She had to get some logic into her mouth no matter what.

As soon as she said this, Shopkeeper Wu got completely furious. He stood up and pointed at her and cursed, "Stop talking nonsense here. How dare you say that the Dali Pills I sell are not effective?"

"It's not good! My man bought it and took it, but I didn't feel anything! I experienced it myself, how could it be false? How about you also find a man and let him eat the powerful pills you sell, and then try it on you, and see if you feel anything?" Aunt Green said with a grin.

Shopkeeper Wu was so angry that his whole body was shaking, and he didn't know how to respond.

Everyone present burst into laughter.
