Chapter 173: The Shopkeepers Regretted
After Niu Sheng and the others left Guang Residence, they went straight to the Su family.
Madam Su was shocked when she saw Niu Sheng’s bloody face. She quickly asked someone to bandage him up.
Niu Sheng was still very humble to her. He thanked her profusely.
When a few of them talked about what happened in Guang Residence just now, their words were all about Su Yan’s unkindness.
When Madam Su heard this, her attitude became indifferent.
The few of them who noticed her expression, their voices also gradually became softer.
Madam Su did not want to refute these elders’ faces and said, “I also know a little about your matters. This matter is not Yan’er’s fault. You are arrogant, but you have forgotten that there is a sky beyond the heavens.”
Speaking of this matter, her face was full of pride.
She did not expect that her daughter was really a genius in business. Compared to her, she was even better.
Niu Sheng and the others immediately admitted their mistakes.
Madam Su then said, “I will help you plead with Yan’er. As for whether her decision will change, it is up to her. Since I have given your shop to her, I will not interfere.”
These words were also to help Su Yan establish her authority. Otherwise, if they were to come to her for trouble in the future, it would be terrible.
After Niu Sheng and the others left, Madam Su wrote a letter to Su Yan and asked someone to send it over.
Su Yan was not surprised at all when she received the letter. After they left, she would definitely go back to look for her mother.
In fact, she had already planned to draw them into this circle, but these people had to teach them a lesson.
Su Yan deliberately ignored them for a few days before asking them to come over.
After gathering them together, Su Yan directly told them to give up their positions as shopkeepers.
Of course, they were not willing. When they were angry, Su Yan said again, “Remove all of you from your positions as shopkeepers for a month. As for whether you can come back in a month, it will depend on the people in the shop’s evaluation of you.”
Only by saying this did they quieten down.
Seeing that they had no objections, Su Yan nodded and began to talk about her plan.
As the plan unfolded, everyone’s eyes gradually became fiery.
They could all imagine how popular their stores would be after this plan was completed.
Everything was in place, and Su Yan began to take action.
The capital was once again stirred up by the Su family. This was when they realized that the shops they usually frequented were all Madam Su’s.
Su Yan’s side was doing well, and the people from the Imperial Pawnshop were unhappy.
Elder Wang, who had been upset about losing money at the auction recently, blamed all of this on the Su family.
He took out his best move and used the imperial family to pressure them.
Elder Wang smiled sinisterly and secretly went to the imperial palace to meet the current emperor, Nalan Chen.
The next day, the news of the imperial palace electing the Imperial Chamber of Commerce spread throughout the country.
This matter was neither big nor small.
In the past, the Imperial Chamber of Commerce was a signboard and an honor.
However, this year’s selection of the Emperor was unusual. Those who were not chosen as the Imperial Chamber of Commerce received an additional 30% tax.
Of course, the higher-ups also indicated that the number of Imperial Chamber of Commerce would increase this year. 𝒇𝘳ℯℯ𝚠𝙚𝑏𝗻𝑜ѵ𝑒𝙡.co𝑚
However, this also made all the shopkeepers who were doing business apprehensive.
When Su Yan heard this news, she thought that the so-called higher-ups were crazy.
However, they could only sign up to participate in the Imperial Chamber of Commerce election. Su Yan was actually not worried. These few shops used 10% of their annual profits for charity, and they usually abided by the law.
According to the selection criteria that came out from the imperial palace, there should be no problem.
The results of the selection of the Imperial Chamber of Commerce came out exceptionally quickly this time. It was completely different from the previous process that took months to complete the auditions.
On the day the results came out, a large imperial ranking board was posted on the notice board outside the palace.
Unlike the results of only two or three of the previous years, a large imperial ranking board was filled with names.
