Chapter 189: A Small Matter! And She's Calling Your Name! (Requesting Subscription)_6
The government...
The government?
"Yes."
"Later, I'll take you to the magistrate's office. I'll watch from the side, and I'm confident the magistrate will deliver a fair judgment."
"By then, with the magistrate taking the lead, they should handle such matters properly, and the final result will surely satisfy us all."
The crowd immediately fell into deep contemplation.
Things were indeed just as Yuchi had described.
Did the Xufu Town Government want so many Guest Ministers? Certainly not.
The more expert Guest Ministers, the more unstable the situation.
Should these Guest Ministers fight due to family conflicts, the ones harmed would undoubtedly be the common folks.
So, in such a safe place like Xufu Town, having so many Guest Ministers is unnecessary and even causes undue alarm.
Thus, in this situation, the person who should step forward is not Yuchi, but the government.
Furthermore, even if Yuchi could directly intimidate the Yang Family, making Xun Xian approach the Yang Family directly,
it might result in gratitude from Chen Jianghua and others...
But such an action would be something only a fool would do.
For one, it would place the association in an opposing stance; for another, it would flaunt the association's prowess, which might make other families uncomfortable.
Isn't it like saying every other business must maintain a vague relationship with the association to survive?
Isn't that just imposing pressure?
Then what difference is there between the association's actions and the Yang Family's? It's just a different way of expression.
From this perspective,
leaving it to the magistrate, allowing the government a legitimate reason to assist, is the best strategy.
Not to mention, this obvious show of respect for the government will make them feel very reassured.
They will prove that they have the ability to maintain peace in Xufu Town.
Actions taken out of gratitude and those taken under compulsion are two different feelings.
Having expressed his thoughts, Yuchi completed his message.
The three people beside him finally understood Yuchi's intentions, and after understanding, they were full of admiration.
Wei Zhe remarked:
"My third brother is truly amazing; he always maintains a calm attitude no matter the situation."
"Not only that, but he can also directly address the crux of the matter."
"To think that I originally believed the association could just say a few words for this to pass."
"But Yuchi chose a different solution instead!"
As for Chen Jianghua and his son, they completely grasped Yuchi's intent.
Yuchi had practically spoken directly to them, filling them with a sense of heartfelt gratitude.
The feeling of openness was excellent, resembling a conversation with friends rather than a plea for help!
"President Yuchi's reputation is well deserved!" exclaimed Chen Jianghua involuntarily.
"You flatter me."
Yuchi smiled, standing up, leading the two of them outside.
"My friends, I'm aware of my own limitations."
"But if we're helping each other as friends, I'm more than willing."
"So if similar situations arise in the future, come to me directly; there's no need to be apprehensive."
"We are all from Xufu Town, we are all family."
"We don't need to harbor great fear over such matters, or else would I, Yuchi, be considered a terrifying person?"
Chen Jianghua and his son laughed, their faces brimming with joy.
Yuchi's words were indeed pleasant, leaving one with a very comfortable feeling.
"As for the gold and silver..." Chen Jianghua easily retrieved a silver note from his sleeve.
"No need."
Yuchi gently pressed down on his hand:
"Next time, when you buy clothes from the association, I can ask for your money. This matter is just a small favor, not worth making a fuss over."
"Ah! Good!" Chen Jianghua nodded gratefully.
Following this, things proceeded smoothly.
Wei Zhe, not rushing to do other things, went through the entire process in detail in an hour.
...
In the association, Yuchi and Wei Zhe were sitting across from the government, drinking tea.
At this point, Wei Zhe was truly exuberant.
"Third Brother, I don't understand; how did you think of this solution?!"
"This approach is simply brilliant!"
Just now, they had gone to the magistrate's office, accompanied by Chen Jianghua and his son.
Upon reaching the magistrate's, Yuchi directly stated their purpose.
In normal circumstances, the magistrate's office might have been somewhat annoyed.
With such matters brought to them, they wouldn't consider it their responsibility.
However, once Yuchi expressed it with fine words, making the magistrate feel honored, the situation changed completely.
The County Magistrate and the advisor immediately felt that maintaining the peace of Xufu Town was indeed their duty.
They were certain that they could help Chen Jianghua handle the issue properly; at that moment, there was a spark of "innocence" in the advisor's and County Magistrate's eyes.
"Innocent" wasn't a derogatory term; it was the genuine sincerity that appeared the moment they became officials.
They genuinely wanted to help Chen Jianghua resolve this matter.
This was not just about saving face for the association; it was the notion that even the association would seek their assistance as a sign of respect...
A determination to not be underestimated!
Indeed.
If the association wanted to, Chen Jianghua's issue would be trivial.
The association certainly could handle it.
But the association knew its stance.
For matters logically not within their purview, finding the right people to handle it was a sign of respect.
The feeling of being respected is very agreeable, especially when someone actively seeks their help.
It's completely a setup of "I have faith in you, do your best."
Such recognition cannot be ignored.
As for Chen Jianghua, initially having no hope for the government, he was now genuinely receiving help.
This made him feel grateful towards the association for the introduction, apart from experiencing a different sentiment.
Perhaps he had judged them too superficially before?
Moreover.
Subconsciously, Chen Jianghua began to let down his guard towards the association.
At least, following his promotion, Xufu Town United Commerce Association wouldn't aimlessly compete in the market.
In non-garment matters, they wouldn't casually intervene.
Such a substantial force, growing stronger yet adhering to its values, was reassuring.
Ultimately for the association, it was convenient, avoided trouble, and truly resolved this issue.
Otherwise, expecting Yuchi to manage it would be unnecessary, given his limited knowledge of the laws compared to the advisor and County Magistrate.
"Fist overules the law" would become unnecessary, as Yuchi preferred reason before force.
Thus, as trivial as it seemed, this matter was resolved promptly within an hour, but its positive impact was significant.
Xufu Town United Commerce Association began shifting from sheer intimidation, evolving from fear to respect.
Now, there was a natural respect.
Comparing the two, the latter is certainly better, akin to having more friends equating to more opportunities.
Feeling his elder brother's excitement, Yuchi sat with a smile, sipping tea, saying:
"As always, if it's related to garments, it's within our association's purview."
"For other matters, we stand behind, ensuring justice is served."
"No need to meddle personally in every little thing; it only shows off our abilities and amounts to pretentiousness."
This made sense... Wei Zhe nodded solemnly, responding:
"Third Brother, I've understood!"
"But tonight, you must come with me to meet Xiangxiang."
"She's calling your name."
