Chapter 216 Embroidered Pillow

The innkeeper felt inexplicably guilty when Jiang Lili called him out. He nervously said his guessed answer: "In my opinion, it is inevitable that the cargo ship will arrive at the port late. We can only send lobbyists to lobby the merchants who want the goods to reduce the amount of compensation."

"In addition, we must quickly find a way to pick up the distinguished guests from Bai'an County by land and do our best to appease them."

The innkeeper's answer was very safe. After hearing his response, Jiang Lili finished the basket of steamed chicken feet politely.

Jiang Lili nodded slightly, and then began to let everyone take turns to answer, "Okay, then the next shopkeeper will also speak. You can talk about your own methods in turn, and introduce yourself by the way."

All the shopkeepers became nervous unconsciously, like students who were called upon by the teacher to answer a question.

They expressed their opinions one by one, which were actually very similar to what the innkeeper said, except that the answers tended to be radical or conservative depending on the innkeeper's personality.

Jiang Lili ate while listening, mainly to get familiar with the faces of the store managers under her and to guess their working styles from their words.

The twelve shopkeepers talked for nearly half an hour.

Jiang Lili had almost finished her morning tea and rubbed her full stomach covertly. The meeting had lasted for so long, so it should be enough time, right?

At this time, the innkeeper looked towards Jiang Lili with expectation in his eyes: "Manager Jiang, who of us do you think is right?"

Jiang Lili wiped her mouth and said, "Everything is fine."

As soon as these three words came out, everyone had different expressions. After saying so much, Shopkeeper Jiang just said "everything is fine" to dismiss him?

The shopkeeper of the fish shop frowned and muttered to the people beside him: "Shopkeeper Fan, Shopkeeper Jiang looks very impressive, but she can't explain anything after we talked so much. Is she just trying to fool us?

A hint of dissatisfaction appeared on his dark face: "Why would He Xiuzhu invite such a useless person to take charge? I guess she's just here to have fun."

Sitting next to him was a female shopkeeper named Fan Qiu, who specialized in the medicinal materials business and ran sixteen large and small medicine shops on the north shore of Haizhou Island.

Fan Qiu was wearing an ultramarine gown, his black hair was fixed with a simple wooden hairpin, and his face was calm.

Fan Qiu shook his head: "Not necessarily. This Shopkeeper Jiang is probably trying to trick us. He wants to see how long our respectful attitude can last. The more this happens, the more we need to keep our composure."

The owner of the fish shop looks rough, but he is a meticulous person. He chooses to listen to Manager Fan and see what happens.

However, of course there were those who could not hold their temper. Just as the two of them were whispering for a while, the stone shop owner Ma offered Jiang Lili a cup of tea, but while offering tea, he said something sarcastic: "Manager Jiang thinks that what everyone said is good, but you can't choose a suitable solution, which means that what everyone said is not good."

Shopkeeper Ma drank the large-leaf tea in the cup in one gulp and said, "I wonder if you can share your wisdom with us, a bunch of dull fellows. It's hard to convince others if you are so stingy with your words now."

Not all shopkeepers are smooth in their style of doing things. There are always some who are cautious and have their own personality. They make a living by their own abilities. Shopkeeper Ma is one of this type. Everyone here knows that Shopkeeper Ma has a unique skill in fortune-telling. Jiang Lili also learned this from Shopkeeper Ma's self-introduction. This person is suitable for doing business by fortune-telling.

The business of individual customers in the stone material shop is managed by the people under the shopkeeper Ma, while the distinguished customers are received by the shopkeeper Ma who looks at their faces and can tell how much weight the customer has.

Now that Shopkeeper Ma was speaking in such a sarcastic tone, the other shopkeepers looked at each other in bewilderment. Could it be that Shopkeeper Ma had seen through something?

But this Shopkeeper Jiang came wearing a veil, so his appearance could not be seen at all.

Seeing that Shopkeeper Ma had doubts, Jiang Lili calmly returned the toast.

"Just now during the dinner, I heard Shopkeeper Ma say that he has business dealings with the county governor. Do they have a good relationship?"

Jiang Lili recalled that the stones for many engineering projects in Haizhu County were supplied by the stone shop owned by Mr. Ma.

"Well, isn't County Magistrate Huang planning to find talented people to control the flood?"

"Then Manager Ma, go and tell the county governor that only the He family has a way to control the flood!"

Jiang Lili's words left the aggressive Shopkeeper Ma confused. Was Shopkeeper Jiang implying something or ordering him to do something?

Shopkeeper Ma tried to probe: "Shopkeeper Jiang, do you think that building dams to control floods is a good job and want to make a fortune from it?"

"But it's too late to build a dam now, and it's very dangerous! If the flood breaks the old dam, the workers on the dam will be washed away by the water, and our He family will not be able to bear it."

Jiang Lili shook her head, and the veil on her hat moved slightly with her movements: "No, I have a way to restore the water level of Haizhu River to normal, and solve all the problems you are facing now from the source."

"I observed the sky at night and calculated that the water level of Haizhu River will recede within five days. In fact, you don't need to worry at all."

When Jiang Lili said this, everyone was shocked.

They had come into contact with many people and had heard many legends in the martial arts world. Some hermits could predict weather changes based on the stars. They had never expected that the young manager Jiang was so accomplished.

Yes, if she wasn’t a powerful person, how could she be adopted as a sister by the head of the He family?

Shopkeeper Ma didn't really believe what Jiang Lili said, but he was very curious about the purpose of Jiang Lili's actions, so he continued to ask: "Then how should I tell the county governor? If I tell him directly that the tide will recede on its own in five days, he won't care about the flood season and will just continue to enjoy himself."

It is always a bit frustrating to have such important information but not be able to get the most value from it.

Jiang Lili smiled and said, "This is what I want all the shopkeepers to discuss. How to take advantage of the rising water level of the Haizhu River to severely punish the county governor."

The eyes of all the sales champions present lit up.

Making profits and earning price differences is what they are best at!

Not to mention, County Magistrate Huang squeezes a lot of money from the shopkeepers of the He family every year, which makes people angry but dare not speak out.

Everyone was shocked and suspicious.

But if Jiang Lili's prediction is incorrect, that would be terrible.

Shopkeeper Ma said with deep suspicion: "Shopkeeper Jiang, is what you said true?"

His ability to tell fortunes is so good that no one in Haizhou Island can be better than him. Can this parachuted manager Jiang also predict celestial phenomena?

Jiang Lili spread her hands: "Why would I deceive everyone with this kind of thing? What good will it do me?"
