Chapter 335: Three People Conspiring
When Ye Jiayao heard this, she knew that they came for Tianshangju. In the two training classes, only Tianshangju occupied two places.

Just as he was about to refute, he heard Lu Xiaotian say, "I can explain the situation you mentioned. During the first period, I asked everyone, and no one had any candidates, but there were still many places available, so Tianshangju sent another student. Even so, there was still one vacancy. As for the second period, everyone knows the situation. Thirty-six students are recruited, but more than one hundred people can apply. What other methods are there besides selection and assessment? The purpose of the training class is to cultivate talents among talents, not to teach culinary skills. Assessment is the fairest method. Moreover, everyone has seen the assessment process. There is no cheating. If you fail the exam, it is because you are not capable enough. Tianshangju reported two people, and both of them were selected with absolutely excellent results. Some restaurants reported four or five, but in the end none of them were selected. Therefore, we can only say that Tianshangju's strength is indeed extraordinary."

"Haha..." Someone sneered. It was Shopkeeper Mei from Juxiangzhai. Shopkeeper Mei sneered, "Everyone knows that President Lu and Shopkeeper Ye have a deep friendship."

The look was extremely frivolous and ambiguous.

There is an ulterior motive behind this statement!
Lu Xiaotian's face darkened.

Ye Jiayao was also angry, but she tried her best to control her emotions and kept smiling.

Duan Qilin couldn't listen any more and said, "This has nothing to do with friendship, nor does it involve taking care of someone. With Manager Ye's ability, she can train a chef herself. Zhongxiang is a good example. Manager Ye is willing to spend money and effort to teach, and she is not selfish. Unlike some people, they hide their skills for fear that others will learn from them and they will have no food to eat."

"Don't say such sarcastic remarks to avoid making a fool of yourself." Duan Qilin said bluntly.

Shopkeeper Mei pretended to be confused: "Did I say anything? I didn't say anything!"

Shopkeeper Du also sneered: "In the end, some people just don't want to pay and want to stay out of it. Fine, if you don't want to pay, then don't pay! It doesn't matter, don't participate in any activities of the Chamber of Commerce in the future. Don't come out when the Chamber of Commerce needs you, and don't try to get any benefits when they are available."

"Manager Du, don't be so aggressive when speaking. We are all discussing something right now," Zheng Sanduo said slowly.

Ye Jiayao finally understood that Zheng Sanduo and his gang were coming for her today. She smiled slightly and said in a superior manner, "Are you discussing something? It seems like they are trying to settle accounts with me! It's okay. If you have any other complaints, just say it. I'm all ears."

"Shopkeeper Ye, others may say what they want, but I, Old Liu, support you. Last time at the food festival, thanks to your ideas, everyone benefited a lot. I, Old Liu, only recognize people who can bring benefits to everyone. As for those who only know how to fart, and their farts are sour, it's not that I, Old Liu, look down on him, but he is really not worthy of your attention." Shopkeeper Liu spoke out in support.

"That's right, Shopkeeper Ye, I support you too..."

"Shopkeeper Ye, don't bother with me."

For a moment, most people sided with Ye Jiayao.

Shopkeeper Mei looked unhappy, but he did not dare to say anything more and arouse public anger.

Ye Jiayao smiled and said, "Thank you very much for your support. As I said before, the Chamber of Commerce belongs to everyone, and the Chamber of Commerce's affairs are everyone's affairs. As long as everyone works together, no problem will be a problem."

Lu Xiaotian didn't want to continue arguing, and said: "Then let's vote. Those who agree to use the Chamber of Commerce dues to compensate the training class, raise your hands and express your opinion."

Suddenly, a large number of people raised their hands. The people in Zheng Sanduo's camp looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, and then raised their hands one after another.

The trend is irresistible and there is no point in them insisting. They might as well be good people.

Lu Xiaotian glanced at it and said in a deep voice: "Since it has been passed unanimously, let's do it this way. Manager Duan will make the accounts and announce the specific amount of money spent."

The matter was resolved like this. After the meeting, Lu Xiaotian left first. Lin Changchun walked with Ye Jiayao and whispered, "I think it was those few people who did it."

Ye Jiayao smiled faintly and said, "If you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself. Wait, the truth will come out sooner or later."

She had no doubt in Zhao Qixuan's ability to do things. Unless her guess was wrong, the mastermind behind the scenes would not be stupid enough to use his own people to do bad things, and it would be easy to find out.

"Look at that group of people. They're probably going to get together to discuss something." Shopkeeper Lin pursed his lips.

Ye Jiayao looked up and saw Zheng Sanduo, Lian Zhanggui and Mei Zhanggui whispering to each other, and then got into their respective carriages.

"Let them discuss it and see what tricks they can come up with." Ye Jiayao's voice was cold and chilling.

Damn it, he actually used her to talk to Lu Xiaotian about it. This is intolerable.

Lin Changchun said: "I'll send someone to take a look."

Just as Lin Changchun expected, the three carriages arrived at a teahouse, the three men got off, asked for a private room, and began to plot.

"Have you arranged for the people?" Zheng Sanduo asked. "We have given them money to let them leave Jinling to avoid the limelight. Don't worry, although these people are gangsters, they are loyal to the underworld. They take money from people and help them get rid of disasters. Otherwise, they will have no chance to make a living." Shopkeeper Mei said.

"Well, we must not let the government find us." Zheng Sanduo reminded again and again.

"Don't be afraid if they find out. I didn't show up in person on this matter. I sent reliable people to handle it. It won't be traced back to us." Shopkeeper Mei said.

Lian the shopkeeper sighed, "It's a pity that the fire was discovered and no one was burned to death. Otherwise, we could have accused Lu Xiaotian and others of poor management today."

The three of them were full of regret. Zheng Sanduo said, "They are lucky this time. Let's take our time and have some fun with them. However, don't forget that our main target is Ye Jinxuan. The existence of this woman is the biggest obstacle. As long as we defeat Ye Jinxuan, Lu Xiaotian won't have to worry about anything."

"This is difficult. Look at Duan Qilin, Lin Changchun, Manager Du and the others. They simply obey Ye Jinxuan's every word. Other members now treat Ye Jinxuan as the God of Wealth and try to curry favor with her." Manager Mei said in annoyance. Just now in the Chamber of Commerce, he was attacked by everyone for just saying one sentence. He wanted to vomit blood just thinking about it.

"Also, Tianshangju is tightly managed, and we couldn't find any opportunity to commit crimes. The dessert shop is even more so, as ordinary people can't even get in. It's also difficult to tamper with the pastry shop," said the shopkeeper Lian.

"There will always be opportunities. Everyone just needs to be patient. What's more, we have people supporting us behind us," Zheng Sanduo consoled.

Shopkeepers Mei and Lian looked more determined after hearing this. Although they didn't know who Zheng Sanduo was referring to, Zheng Sanduo dared to go against Ye Jinxuan, so he must have a strong backer. Ye Jinxuan was not just the shopkeeper of Tianshangju and the vice president of the catering chamber of commerce. Her most feared identity was the second young lady of the Marquis of Jing'an's mansion.

At this time, Zhao Qixuan was meeting a guest in the room. The visitor was none other than the local tyrant of Jinling, known as Jiu Ye. He was the boss of the underworld and all the sects had to give him face.

"I already know who set the fire. They are a few thugs under Wang Lao Hu. The leader is the one with a mole on his face, called Gou Sheng'er. According to insiders, this group of people have been gathering together and whispering these days. They were nowhere to be seen last night. They returned home in a hurry this morning and said they would leave Jinling for a few days. Now they have left the city and our whereabouts are unknown." said Jiu Ye.

Zhao Qixuan frowned and asked, "Is there any way to catch him?"

Jiu Ye pondered and said, "We can definitely catch them. These guys are heavy gamblers and drinkers. Even if they took some money, they would spend it all in a few days. Their families are all in Nanjing. It is impossible for them not to come back. Wang Laowu has already stated that he will not protect them. I have also sent people to keep an eye on them. As soon as they show up, they will be arrested immediately."

Zhao Qixuan's brows relaxed. The monk could escape, but the temple could not. Now that the temple had been found, why worry about not being able to catch the person? It was only a matter of time.

"I'm sorry to trouble you, Master Jiu, with this matter. Otherwise, I won't be able to explain to my friend." Zhao Qixuan said.

"Don't worry, Master Zhao. Your affairs are my business, Master Jiu's affairs, and your friends are my friends." Master Jiu said seriously.

Zhao Qixuan chuckled and said, "Master Jiu is very loyal. I will thank you very much once this matter is settled."

Jiu Ye also laughed and said, "Master Zhao, please don't say thank you to me. That would be insulting to me."

The two smiled tacitly.

Zhao Qixuan said, "There is one more thing I want to trouble you with, Master Jiu."

"You say."

"My friend is Shopkeeper Ye from Tianshangju. Someone wants to cause trouble for her recently. I am injured and it is not convenient for me to do so. Please, Master Jiu, keep an eye on her for me. If you find anyone suspicious..."

When Master Jiu heard that it was the shopkeeper of Tianshangju, he was surprised and said, "It turned out to be Shopkeeper Ye. That's even more amazing. I, Master Jiu, admire this woman very much. Her deeds of fighting bandits in Heifenggang alone made the brothers in the gang admire her very much. Master Zhao, I will remember this matter and I promise to keep her safe."

Zhao Qixuan laughed heartily and fought the bandits with his wits. Is it true as the rumor goes that Ye Jinxuan has three heads and six arms?

"Okay, I feel relieved when you say that. When this is over, I'll ask her to treat you to a drink."

Jiu Ye smiled awkwardly and said, "No, no, she is the second young lady of the Marquis of Jing'an's mansion, and the prince is very famous. Besides, this is just a piece of cake, a trivial matter."

Zhao Qixuan has his own plans. He and Susu will leave Jinling eventually. It is unpredictable how the situation will change in the future. Chun Yu is a gentleman and does not deal with people in the underworld, but sometimes, these people can be of great use. Ye Jinxuan can also be regarded as a heroine. She is generous and loyal. If Ye Jinxuan can get in touch with Master Jiu, maybe she will be useful in the future.

"Don't underestimate Shopkeeper Ye. Although she is the second young lady of the Marquis of Jing'an's Mansion, she has a chivalrous heart. She would be willing to make friends like you. I'll make an appointment for us to meet some other day!" Zhao Qixuan said.

Jiu Ye smiled and did not refuse. He was very interested in meeting this legendary woman.
