Chapter 77 077
The traitor who was inserted into the Dongsheng Textile Factory by Master Qin was called Zheng Gui. Zheng Gui was originally a young man from Master Qin's hometown. He worked in a small local weaving factory for several years. The young man had ambition and came to Hangzhou City with a burden on his back to join Master Qin. It happened that Gu Huaixiu was building a factory in Hangzhou City to recruit workers. Master Qin was careful and asked Zheng Gui to apply for a job there. The two secretly contacted each other.
Zheng Gui was in his early twenties, with a clever facial features and a clever person. In addition, he had experience working in a textile factory. As soon as he entered Dongsheng Textile Factory, he shone brightly and successfully won the favor of Master Qiao and became Master Qiao's deputy. Zheng Gui attributed his glory to his excellence, but he didn't know that Lu Duo had already found out the background of everyone in the factory and deliberately asked Master Qiao to "refer" him.
Since he was a deputy, Zheng Gui had quite a lot of opportunities to approach Master Qiao, and Master Qiao was given Gu Huaixiu's instructions and acted very beautifully. Zheng Gui wanted to steal the prescription, so Master Qiao deliberately created several thrilling times. Zheng Gui stole it three times before he finally succeeded. Zheng Gui felt that stealing the prescription was very dangerous, so he would not suspect that there was a fraud.
After taking the prescription, Zheng Gui copied one overnight and put it back early the next day. That night, he took advantage of the night to touch Master Qin's house and handed it over to Master Qin.
After reading the prescription, Master Qin said excitedly: "You stay in Dongsheng first. When I make sure these prescriptions are true, I will contact you immediately. Take the money to another place to hide your identity and be a wealthy master who will not have to worry about food and drink."
Zheng Gui was looking forward to a good day as a master, and was worried that Lu Duo would find out. He took Master Qin's hand and begged: "Uncle, hurry up, everyone said that Master Third is cruel and ruthless. If the stuff is exposed, I will die!"
"Don't worry, I'll cover it with me." Master Qin said with a positive tone.
After getting the prescription, Master Qin immediately went to Gujia Textile Factory to secretly dye the cloth sample. As soon as the finished product came out, after tensile, washing and fading, it was proved that the prescription Zheng Gui stole was indeed true. Master Qin was overjoyed and handed over the money he had promised to Zheng Gui first and asked Zheng Gui to resign and fly away. Seeing Zheng Gui get on the boat with his own eyes, Master Qin happily went to find Mrs. Gu Shiqin.
"What, have you matched the colors of the rainbow series?" Old Mrs. Gu asked in surprise.
Master Qin wanted to take credit, of course he could not say that the prescription was stolen by himself, so he made up a set of very real rhetoric, saying that he thought hard day and night how to adjust the color and prepare it continuously, and did not sleep for three days and three nights. After repeatedly analyzing the samples from Dongsheng Textile Factory, he finally succeeded.
Old Mrs. Gu was a little suspicious about this, but what she wanted was the result. Old Mrs. Gu didn't care about how the prescription came about.
Gu Shiqin never thought that Master Qin would have the courage to go to Dongsheng Textile Factory to steal prescriptions, and he didn't believe that the third brother would be so careless, so he believed in Master Qin's words. After Gu Shiqin, Gu Shichang and Gu Mingyan also confirmed the quality of the new color fabric, he finally announced to the public that Gu Jia Textile Factory had released new fabrics, but changed the "Rainbow Series" of Dongsheng Textile Factory to the "Colorful Butterfly" series created by Gu Jia.
This batch of new goods was first issued by Dongsheng Textile Factory, but Gujia Textile Factory has too much customer base. Once the news was released, merchants who originally wanted to order goods at Dongsheng Textile Factory continued to order goods from Gu Shiqin and his son. In just a few days, the Gujia received orders that were enough to meet sales in the two quarters of last year.
Faced with the Gu family's big business, Gu Huaixiu never showed up, but Lu Duo took people to the Gu family's textile factory for accusing the Gu family of plagiarizing Dongsheng's creativity.
Master Qin advised him with a pleasant look: "Manager Lu, what you said is wrong. In our industry, there are only so many colors of fabrics. We can match what you can match, and vice versa. Everyone sells their own products and does business together, so why not talk about plagiarism? Do you think we have found those small factories? Businessmen, the first thing they need to be mindful and not eat alone. Oh, by the way, it's like a few famous dishes in Hangzhou. I have never heard of Shanjuke making Dongpo pork, so they are not allowed to have the same dish in other restaurants, right?"
He spoke with a wrong idea, and Lu Duo cursed for a long time, but he couldn't do anything about him and left in anger.
After Mrs. Gu learned about it, she felt so comfortable. Didn’t Gu Huaixiu give her rice dumplings? She asked the housekeeper to prepare a few good pieces of materials and sent them to Gu Huaixiu’s villa in the name of her mother, asking Gu Huaixiu to make more summer clothes.
The butler was ordered to come to Gu Huaixiu's villa to give gifts. Lu Duo sent Fu to scare the butler and flee in a panic.
Gu Shiqin and Gu Huaixiu's business war were published in the newspaper.
After reading the newspaper, Mrs. Xu was angry that Mrs. Gu was so proud that she could negotiate. She did not put all the bets on Gu Huaixiu at the beginning. Now Gu Huaixiu is destined to be unable to become a climate, and she just happened to concentrate on matching her granddaughter and Chen Yao.
"Qingxi, my grandmother gave him a chance, but it is obvious that he would not defeat Gu Shiqin and his son in two years. Forget such a person with high vision and low skills, you should forget him as soon as possible, and even Lu Duo will not be allowed to see him in the future." When he called out his granddaughter, Mrs. Xu warned very seriously.
After Qingxi read the newspaper, a fire broke out in his chest, which made Gu Family Textile Factory use Gu Huaixiu's creativity to make money. She felt even more distressed about Gu Huaixiu's current situation and wanted to find Gu Huaixiu immediately. Even if she couldn't help, Qingxi wanted Gu Huaixiu to know that she would accompany him no matter whether he could defeat the Gu family.
But Qingxi has no chance to go out.
Master Yang helped her find a junior brother with talent in cooking, named Xue Yao. In fact, Xue Yao is seven years older than Qingxi. She has a tiger-back and bear-waisted waist. Just because she worships Mr. Yang as her teacher later than Qingxi, Qingxi became her senior sister. Xue Yao is big and thick, but she is quiet and shy, with her hands very clever, and even the cat ears she pinched are as small and cute as those she pinched by Qingxi.
Shortly after the Dragon Boat Festival, Xue Yao came out of the mountain. Qingxi and Xue Yao stayed in the noodle shop for two days and found that the customers did not eat at all. Qingxi was relieved to hand over the Xu Qingtang noodle shop to Xue Yao, Meng Jin, Xiaolan and Cuicui. She was at home practicing cooking skills.
Gu Huaixiu is at a disadvantage now. Old Mrs. Xu is worried that her granddaughter will go to find Gu Huaixiu, so she stares at her granddaughter and refuses to ask Qingxi to go out.
Qingxi begged a few times and it didn't work, so he could only be anxious.
Master Qin was doing a very happy life. After the Gu family's business was good, he became a hero of the textile factory again. He supervised the workers to rush to complete the order tasks of the day every day. Master Qin lived a very relaxed and happy life.
Before I knew it, it was early June. It was hot at noon. Master Qin was resting in the factory dormitory when he was suddenly awakened by a knock on the door.
"Who?"
"Open the door, police."
Master Qin was stunned for a moment. At this moment, the door was suddenly knocked open, and there were indeed four uniformed policemen standing at the door.
Master Qin crawled up, and asked what was going on while putting on his clothes.
The tall policeman looked at him and said coldly: "What's going on? You'll know when you're in the bureau." After that, the tall policeman asked his two subordinates to mortify Master Qin, and then he and another policeman quickly rummaged through boxes and cabinets in Master Qin's room, and when they saw the paper with words, they put them away.
Master Qin has done a big case this year. When he thought of that possibility, his eyelids twitched and he couldn't help looking at the mat on the bed. While regretting why he didn't burn the prescription Zheng Gui gave him, he prayed that the police would not search under the mat.
However, things went against my wishes. After the tall policeman flipped through the cabinet, the second one was the bed.
The mat was lifted, revealing a yellowish-brown envelope.
The tall policeman picked up the envelope, pulled out the paper inside and looked at it. He was satisfied, and he stopped the team and took Master Qin away.
The next day, Hangzhou Daily published a big news: Dongsheng Textile Factory called the police and Master Gu was imprisoned.
Seeing the title, Mrs. Xu was inexplicably nervous and deliberately put on reading glasses to continue reading.
The newspaper said that Lu Duo, deputy manager of Dongsheng Textile Factory, sued Master Qin of Gujia Textile Factory, bribed Master Qin from Dongsheng's employee Zheng Gui, and Zheng Gui stole Dongsheng dye prescriptions and handed them to Master Qin, Master Qin, and Gu Shiqin used the stolen prescriptions to make illegal profits. The Hangzhou Police Department received a report and immediately arrested Master Qin based on Zheng Gui's confession and physical evidence, and the case will be awaiting further trial.
After reading the newspaper three times, Old Mrs. Xu slowly took off her glasses and stared at the door.
Anyone with discerning eyes knows that the Gu family’s “Colorful Butterfly” series was inspired by Dongsheng’s “Rainbow”. Old Mrs. Xu originally thought that dyeing cloth was easy. The Gu family developed dyes themselves. After reading the newspaper, they thought about Mrs. Gu’s character. Old Mrs. Xu didn’t know what others thought. Anyway, she had already determined that Master Qin’s prescription was stolen.
If this is true, Gu Shiqin and Master Qin stole Gu Huaixiu's things, would they have to compensate Gu Huaixiu for the illegal profit-making income? In other words, Gu Shiqin and Mrs. Gu not only did a big business, but also destroyed the integrity sign that the Gu family had run for a century? A thief textile factory, who would do business with them?
Old Mrs. Xu's heart was beating, fortunately she was standing in front of a bet.
On the one hand, Gu Huaixiu used this case to severely damage the old lady Gu and his son. Dongsheng Textile Factory rose. On the other hand, Gu Huaixiu did not have enough evidence. Old lady Gu and Gu Shiqin successfully overturned the case. Gu Jia Textile Factory continued to dominate the Jiangnan region. Gu Huaixiu and his Dongsheng Textile Factory continued to do small business and remained unknown.
Which one to bet on?
Mrs. Xu suddenly thought of the head that Gu Huaixiu gave to Mrs. Gu. Such a cruel and ruthless person returned to Hangzhou for revenge. Now that he has the opportunity to severely damage Mrs. Gu Huaixiu, will Gu Huaixiu seize it? A man who left home at the age of eight and wandered outside for several years and then gained a foothold in Shanghai in just two years. Mrs. Xu doesn't believe that Gu Huaixiu will be so stupid.
"Go and invite the young lady to come." Touching the newspaper, Mrs. Xu made a decision.
The final result has not come out yet, and she will not stand in front of her, but she is willing to let her granddaughter feed Gu Huaixiu a sweet date.
