CHAPTER 87: CHAPTER 87: ARE YOU STILL GOING TO BLACKLIST ME? (FIFTH UPDATE)

When Old Three Zhang Baoguo saw this, he immediately relaxed, knowing that Zhang Baoxia had also come to Qingzhou Town, although secretly, he had tacitly allowed it.

Old Nine Zhang Baoju saw this and chuckled bitterly to himself, thinking that it’s best not to offend this little girl in the future, because you never know if she’s going to set you up next!

Zhang Baoxia was still staying at the hotel she stayed at last time, so Zhang Baoguo found her easily.

Since the messenger didn’t know the whole story, Zhang Baoxia didn’t know what had happened when she came.

But when she saw Beisitian sitting in the room along with a crowd of uncles, she was a bit dumbfounded!

"Baoxia, come quickly, Miss Bei says she knows you and misses you!" Old Three Zhang Baoguo somewhat smugly glanced at Old Nine.

Old Nine Zhang Baoju silently averted his gaze, somewhat unwilling to see what kind of blow this old brother would suffer next!

Zhang Baoxia stood there even more bewildered, seeing Beisitian smiling at her happily, she suddenly felt a chill down her spine.

She’s the embroidery woman of the double-sided three-different embroidery!

Although on her way here Zhang Baoxia thought this was very likely, she came holding onto a slim hope, but seeing so many uncles here, she realized she had no chance of luck.

"Manager Zhang, we meet again." Beisitian greeted with a smile.

Zhang Baoxia couldn’t smile, wondering what this girl wanted to do.

"It’s been a long time indeed." Zhang Baoxia, able to maintain her footing in this large town, calmly replied, showing no hint of their relationship.

She thought, perhaps Beisitian had already joined Bao Niang Embroidery Workshop and was taking the initiative to make amends?

It’s not impossible, better to resolve enmity than to make it!

Hopefully, that’s the case.

"Manager Zhang, are you still planning to blacklist me this time?" Beisitian still smiling, asked a question that stunned everyone present.

Had Zhang Baoxia blacklisted Beisitian before?

Old Three Zhang Baoguo was taken aback, suddenly remembering that Baoxia had angrily told him about an incident earlier. She said that Zhang Baoli from Qingzhou Town had held a grudge, hired a fake embroidery woman, and stole her embroidery woman’s work, and it was double-sided embroidery!

Zhang Baoguo had no idea who Zhang Baoli was, only knowing that Qingzhou Town was a small place, but hearing from Zhang Baoxia that Zhang Baoli was a descendant of Old Nine’s branch, he listened to Baoxia’s opinion and blacklisted the fake embroidery woman.

This blacklist meant that Bao Niang Embroidery Workshop was not allowed to accept any of this person’s works, nor was it allowed for her works to appear under Bao Niang Embroidery Workshop’s name!

Could it be that the embroidery woman blacklisted at the time was Beisitian!

When Zhang Baoxia heard her finish speaking, she knew things weren’t going well, and forced a smile, said: "Miss Bei, I think there might be some misunderstandings between us!"

"Misunderstandings? Originally, I was a part of Bao Niang Embroidery Workshop, thinking of participating in this exhibition. Who knew at this time Manager Zhang would blacklist me, not allowing Bao Niang Embroidery Workshop to sell any of my embroidered pieces. I had no choice but to submit works under my own name to the exhibition!"

Once Beisitian finished speaking, Zhang Baoxia’s face turned green, this girl truly had a way with words!

Indeed, with her words, a personal conflict turned into an embroidering workshop’s conflict!

Sure enough, after she spoke, even including Old Three Zhang Baoguo, everyone’s faces changed. Originally, Beisitian was part of Bao Niang Embroidery Workshop, yet was blacklisted and kicked out by Zhang Baoxia!

Those present were in charge of Bao Niang Embroidery Workshop’s economic pulse, and just thinking about the piece ’Phoenix Dance Dragon Plate’ entered the exhibition under Bao Niang Embroidery Workshop’s name, not only winning first place but also bringing back an ’exceptional’ honor, made their faces distort!

It’s no exaggeration to say that if this honor was earned back by Bao Niang Embroidery Workshop, they would absolutely become the unique leader in the industry, not just one of the leaders!

Even if Beisitian were to join Bao Niang Embroidery Workshop afterward, the effect brought would be far less impactful than direct entry under Bao Niang Embroidery Workshop’s name!

From then on, even Old Three Zhang Baoguo looked towards Zhang Baoxia with a less kind gaze.

"Third Brother, wasn’t it you who said how discerning Zhang Baoxia was, able to find an outstanding embroidery woman from a thousand miles away? This discernment can cause no small harm!" Sixth Uncle Zhang Baojun coldly hummed.

Sixth Uncle’s range of activity was in the Shanghai area, so he was the most heartbroken!

Zhang Baoxia’s face instantly turned pale, the reason she initially roped in Beisitian was to go to the large branch store in Shanghai, as both Shanghai and Guangzhou were second only to the Beijing Main Store.

Both places held significant standings because Shanghai hosted exhibitions every three years, giving it a slightly higher status compared to Guangzhou!

This time, the ’Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix’ embroidered by her embroidery woman won third prize. She originally had a great chance to go, as long as Sixth Uncle nodded!

But now, she had no chance!

Seeing that she had successfully roused animosity, Beisitian delivered the final blow, "Now that I am famous, even if Bao Niang Embroidery Workshop doesn’t want me, I can still go to other workshops, I’m sure many would be willing to accept me, don’t you think, Manager Zhang? Now can you still blacklist me?"

She stabbed with her words once again.

Zhang Baoxia’s face drained of all color, facing the knife-like gazes passed over by the surrounding uncles, she trembled in fear.

Old Six Zhang Baojun turned and amiably said to Beisitian: "Miss Bei, please don’t misunderstand, Bao Niang Embroidery Workshop welcomes you too late, how could they possibly push you away!"

"Exactly, someone with talent like yours could only reach her fullest potential at Bao Niang Embroidery Workshop; small places simply can’t provide you with any welfare assurances!" Old Eight chimed in.

"Moreover, at the Shanghai Embroidery Exhibition, Bao Niang Embroidery Workshop has a slot every session that can be directly submitted to the final review group!" Old Six Zhang Baojun continued to entice.

Old Nine Zhang Baoju, seeing it was almost enough, smiled and said: "Miss Bei, the benefits and treatment Bao Niang Embroidery Workshop provides are certainly the highest in the industry, and not just by a little. Choosing Bao Niang Embroidery Workshop, you absolutely won’t regret it!"

Zhang Baoju was confidently assured.

This was without a doubt, as Beisitian now had a different worth; with just one piece of ’Phoenix Dance Dragon Plate’ bid high just days after, Bao Niang Embroidery Workshop definitely wouldn’t treat such a valuable embroidery woman poorly!

With a slight smile, Beisitian replied, "Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for your appreciation, but my ambitions do not lie here."

Once she said this, Old Nine Zhang Baoju’s face changed, and Zhang Ziquan, who was standing in the background, also turned pale.

The two sides had agreed, Beisitian was supposed to eventually join Bao Niang Embroidery Workshop, and specifically Old Nine Zhang Baoju’s branch!

But now, she had turned it down!

"Miss Bei..." Zhang Ziquan couldn’t help but speak up.

Beisitian glanced at him and said, "Indeed, my ambitions do not lie here, I am afraid I won’t casually embroider in the future, after all, it’s work that strains the eyes. However, for Sister Bao Li’s sake, I can become an honorary embroidery woman of Bao Niang Embroidery Workshop, not providing embroidery work but offering double-sided embroidery techniques, how about that?"
