Wei Tianyi was furious: “One by one, they are getting more and more outrageous!”
Shu Wanrong turned out to be a bad teammate!
To be honest, Wei Tianyi really wanted to lose his temper, and his expression immediately turned very bad after hearing the answer from Butler Zhou.
But he had always cared about his face and had always maintained a calm and dignified image in public. Now the women sitting in the yard were all well-known figures in the surrounding circle, and some were even neighbors from the same community. No matter how angry he was, he couldn’t lose his temper in front of these people, so he could only tell himself to hold it back.
The women’s laughter in the yard shook him to the point of collapse. Wei Tianyi’s face turned purple, and he thought to himself, “What a bunch of idiots! They lose their minds as soon as they hear the words ‘health club’.” With Wei Xi’s current behavior, it was good enough that he didn’t hit people. How could he keep people healthy? Only full-time housewives like Shu Wanrong, who were stupid and rich, stayed at home every day with nothing to do and had a short-sighted vision, would believe his lies.
At this moment, there was a sudden creaking sound behind him, and the yard gate, which had not yet been closed, was pushed open.
Wei Tianyi looked back and immediately changed his mood and greeted the newcomers: “Boss Liu, Boss Wang, Boss Zheng, why are you here?”
The men standing outside were all his business friends. Each of them was wealthy and well-known in their professional fields.
The several CEOs seemed to have just got off work and hadn’t had time to change their suits. Seeing that he was very happily greeting them, CEO Liu smiled and responded, “Hey, CEO Wei, you’re home too?”
Wei Tianyi felt something was wrong when he heard this: “Aren’t you here to see me?”
Mr. Liu laughed and said, “No, no, how can I bother you after work? My wife and I just bought memberships of your Taicang Sect Health Club, and we came here specially for maintenance.”
Wei Tianyi: “…”
….
Wei Tianyi’s mentality completely collapsed. He refused to talk to Wei Xi for several days, and even threw a tantrum. He packed up his things and moved to a house in the city to live for a few days. As a result, he didn’t know if he was not used to his bed, but he stared at the ceiling every night, however when he got home, he fell asleep as soon as his head touched the pillow. His sleep quality was better than in the past few decades. As a result, he felt more and more that he was not doing well. In order to get a good night’s sleep, he had to move back home reluctantly. However, he still resisted, such as setting the alarm clock every day, packing up his things and running out to work before dawn, trying not to meet his family.
Let these basta**s reflect on themselves!
But his resistance could not change anything. The leisure club at home was getting bigger and bigger, and it was crowded with customers.
Taicang Sect gradually gained some fame in the surrounding circles. After all, the company finally had products to sell. Unlike the mysterious rituals before, the effect of the jujube could be seen by the naked eye. Even if you don’t believe in ghosts and nonsense, you could sleep well by putting one on your pillow. Which businessman didn’t have some pressure? Especially when you reach middle age, although you look dazzling outside, you have a lot of troubles in your company’s development, family problems, and your own mid-life crisis. It was not uncommon to be so stressed that you couldn’t sleep. Therefore, the sales of the jujube quickly doubled day by day. In addition to buying it for themselves, many people also gave it to relatives and friends.
The sect’s income and expenditure finally improved significantly, but Tuan Tuanyi was still not satisfied.
So he held the account book in his hand and went to his master to complain: “Master, Zhihu said that if a company wants to continue to develop, it cannot be satisfied with the current achievements. It must constantly reform and innovate while maintaining its existing advantages. This way, customers will be retained and feel fresh from time to time. This is our way of development.”
Wei Xi was crunching the chocolate. The sect finally had enough money to buy him snacks. It really felt good to be rich.
While handling his worldly business, the second disciple looked back coldly at his nominal senior brother. Hearing the noise coming from the yard, he wished he could kick out this troublemaker who had no idea of Wei Xi’s dangerousness.
However, treacherous officials were in power, people’s hearts were not as they used to be, and the incompetent head was addicted to snacks. He leaned on the second apprentice and nodded in agreement: “What you said makes sense.”
Tuan Tuanyi immediately became excited: “Master, tell me, besides the herb, are there any other new products that our sect can develop?”
Wei Xi was a bit slow to begin with and was stumped by his question. He thought for a long time with his mouth open. Thinking that the chocolate in his hand was about to melt, he took a bite and said slowly, “How about we plant some more Wu Tiao? The old man said that if you chop this thing up and dry it and eat it, it can kill any living thing instantly. So I didn’t plant any special ones before because I was afraid that Mike would eat it carelessly.”
Tuanyi: “……???”
Wei Xi: “Don’t we have many competitors in business? They should really need this, and we can grow a lot in one crop, which is convenient and profitable.”
Tuanyi: “…”
Tuan Tuanyi looked at his junior brother with sweat on his forehead and saw that his junior brother seemed to have been fed up with their conversation. So, he interrupted Wei Xi’s plan with a stern face and instructed Tuan Tuanyi: “Tell someone to pick the leaves of the nettle tree, fry them like tea leaves, and then soak them in water to sell. This thing has a special aroma after being fried and dried, and it can heal the body.”
Tuan Tuanyi felt as if he had been pardoned. After asking about nettle leaves’ appearance, he ran away in a hurry. He always felt that his master seemed quite scary sometimes.
As soon as he left, Shuo Zong put down his work, turned around and stared at Wei Xi seriously.
The second disciple had a strong Yang energy, and so Wei Xi liked to stick to him. When eating chocolate, he leaned on him and secretly took a few sips. Now that the other party turned around, he also leaned on him a little. After sitting up straight, he saw the disciple staring at him. He thought about it, and looked at the snacks in his hand in confusion: “Disciple, do you want some too?”
Shuo Zong: “…”
Shuo Zong was silent for a while, then he took a bite of the chocolate that he had brought to his mouth and directed his anger elsewhere: “Tuan Tuanyi has been idle all day, and he only knows how to stir up trouble!”
Although Wei Xi didn’t understand what Tuan Tuanyi had done, he was always doting on this yang-filled disciple. So, he found a new position and rested his head on his thighs: “Yeah.”
Shuo Zong looked down at him, his expression finally getting better. He looked out the window at Tuan Tuanyi, who had already called on Butler Zhou and others to start picking nettles, and said, “It’s time to teach him some Taoist techniques so that he has something to do.”
Tuan Tuanyi, who was working in the yard, had no idea that he was about to struggle in a sea of homework. He shivered for no apparent reason, and after finishing his work, he pulled his coat closer, carefully picked some nettle leaves, and put them into a small bamboo basket.
The guests who were chatting in the courtyard saw what he and Butler Zhou were doing, and they all looked very curious: “What are you doing?”
Tuan Tuanyi was very entrepreneurial and was always immersed in making sales. He immediately replied, “This is a new product developed by my master. After it is made, you can drink it like tea. It tastes very good and is good for your health. You can get a 10% discount if you buy it with a membership card. Would you like to buy some to try?”
Everyone looked at the leaves he picked and thought they were nothing magical, so not many people were interested. Only Mrs. Liu said, “We must support new products. Give me some.”
Her husband Liu Wen’s severe insomnia was cured by Taicang Sect’s herb. Perhaps because of the adequate sleep, even his increasingly silent and melancholy temperament over the years had changed, and the atmosphere of the whole family was completely renewed. She was extremely grateful to Taicang Sect at this moment. So, what was the big deal about buying some tea?
Wei Xi now handed over the work of signing the customer’s order to Shu Wanrong, who had made great contributions. Shu Wanrong still felt that reality was very illusory and tried to struggle: “Do you want to think about it again… Let’s not talk about anything else. This tea tree is growing so fast, don’t you think something is wrong?”
She looked at the row of saplings not far away that had now grown to hip height with a look of doubt in her eyes. They were only very small when they were planted some time ago.
As soon as she said this, the women at the table waved their hands and said, “Why are you being silly? The mud your son sprinkled in there is mud from the Himalayas. Even Zheng Tai’s hair can grow out of it, so why can’t the tree grow faster?”
Shu Wanrong: “…”
However, due to the price, the customers present were still not very interested in Taicang Sect’s new product tea. As for tea, let’s not talk about the fact that these ladies generally drank coffee to keep up with the trend. Even if you talk about good tea, which family didn’t have a few taels of Longjing[1] Biluochun[2] Da Hong Pao[3]? No matter how good Wei Xi’s tea was, could it be better than these treasures?
