Chapter 309 The Shopkeeper Who Left
"Our A Rui used to be a high-ranking official. He was in charge of all the affairs of the entire Mangcheng! Who in this city doesn't speak well of him? What was Mangcheng like originally? Our A Rui has made an indelible contribution to the current situation." Wang's face was full of pride, but she quickly restrained her expression a little, after all, Su Jixiang was sitting here...
Nangong Rui's high position was taken away by Su Jixiang's husband! And their family also made a big mistake.
In today's Mangcheng, she can be arrogant in front of anyone except Su Jixiang.
Even Nangong Rui felt his face burning after hearing what his mother said. If he had really managed Mangcheng well, he would not have made the Marquis so angry.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" He finally couldn't help but scold his mother.
Wang ignored her son completely.
She knew that her son was too honest and lacked courage, so she still needed to take the lead in everything!
Wang still said with a bit of arrogance, "Our Arena doesn't do the work of a servant!"
Zhao Xiuwan’s brows were furrowed so tightly that they looked like they could pinch a fly to death.
She invited Nangong Rui today because she really liked him. It was pleasing to have him by her side, which was much better than going home to see Qian Feng's tasteless face. Second, she wanted Su Jixiang to know that she was not kind and righteous, but she was kind and righteous, and Nangong Rui was not a poor little thing that no one would take in.
But after Wang's interference, she wanted to kick Wang out of the house.
"Yes. I think what she said makes some sense." Su Jixiang clapped his hands and laughed, "Mr. Nangong is talented. It would be an injustice to Mr. Nangong if he is just a gatekeeper." She had the mentality of watching the fun and not afraid of trouble.
Zhao Xiuwan only has one shopkeeper, who is grateful for Zhao Xiuwan's kindness and helps her wholeheartedly. So Su Jixiang really wants to see if Zhao Xiuwan will arrange Nangong Rui to be the shopkeeper. If Zhao Xiuwan really does this, it will be a slap in the face of the original shopkeeper.
Su Jixiang had already caught a glimpse of the shopkeeper of Hongyunlou behind the tall counter. Although he was holding the account books in his hand and seemed to be checking the accounts, in fact his eyes kept drifting towards this side, and his ears were pricked up straight.
When Wang heard that Su Jixiang actually supported her this time, she immediately straightened her back and said, "Otherwise, how could it be said that you should be the wife of Marquis Dingbei? You just have good vision!" After saying that, Wang glanced at Zhao Xiuwan lightly. Compared with Zhao Xiuwan, Su Jixiang was indeed the material to be the wife of Marquis Dingbei!
At first, Madam Qian was only willing to give her a small amount of silver to send her away. If she had not been kind-hearted, she would have gone to the Dingbei Marquis' Mansion to report that it was Madam Qian who instigated her to file a complaint with the Imperial Envoy.
The reason why Wang didn't report Zhao Xiuwan was because she knew her own weight. Today was different from the past. If she took money from both sides, she would be the one who would be in trouble.
Zhao Xiuwan snorted, "I'm a very generous person. It doesn't matter if Mr. Nangong becomes the shopkeeper of my store!"
When Su Jixiang heard what Zhao Xiuwan said, he glanced at the shopkeeper behind the counter. The brush in the shopkeeper's hand tilted a little. He lowered his eyes and pretended to be calm.
Su Jixiang laughed secretly, Zhao Xiuwan was so stupid!
She had no experience or talent in running a restaurant or hotel. She couldn't cook, nor could she entertain guests and maintain relationships. She didn't have the ability to be versatile and good at networking.
The current good business and profitability of Hongyunlou is entirely due to Qian Feng's reputation and the dedicated maintenance of the current shopkeeper.
Nangong Rui was a man of indecisiveness, and he was not a man of great use. If Nangong Rui became the shopkeeper, the business of the restaurant would soon plummet. Even Qian Feng's friends in the military camp would not come often.
After all, Nangong Rui was punished out of the military camp by Wei Ling. Later, Nangong Rui went to the General's Mansion. Everyone understood that although Nangong Rui sold himself to the General's Mansion, it was because Wei Ling regarded Nangong Rui as his own, otherwise he would not keep Nangong Rui by his side. However, the news that Su Jixiang burned Nangong Rui's indenture contract in public had spread throughout the entire Mangcheng, so everyone knew it clearly in their hearts that Nangong Rui was really expelled from the General's Mansion. Not only was he expelled from the General's Mansion, but he was also abandoned by the General's Mansion!
The other officers of the Black Tiger Army would not want to make friends with someone who has been abandoned by even the General's Mansion.
Everyone will understand this principle.
Therefore, if Zhao Xiuwan really lets Nangong Rui become the manager of Hongyunlou, she can only be said to be courting death!
"But you already have a shopkeeper." Su Jixiang reminded.
She glanced again at the shopkeeper behind the counter.
"This is my shop and I have the final say! Even if you are the marquis' wife, you have no right to control me!" Zhao Xiuwan was very annoyed. She knew that the shopkeeper was very important to her now, but now that the conversation had come to this, she couldn't just give in!
"I still hope you will think twice." Su Jixiang said, "Your current shopkeeper is a good one. If you make him angry and leave, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find another one who is as dedicated as him."
"I don't like what Madam Hou said." When Wang heard that Su Jixiang was trying to persuade Zhao Xiuwan again, she immediately became anxious. "Everyone knows what kind of person our A Rui is. If he helps others, how can he not do his best? If you ask me, it's just that Madam Qian looks down on people. Madam Qian, please tell me! Do you want our A Rui to be the shopkeeper here? If it's not this position, then we won't do it! Madam Qian, I remember everything! If I can't bear it later, I'll find someone to talk about some old things!"
If Zhao Xiuwan didn't understand her naked threat, she would be a fool!
Her brows were furrowed so tightly that not only was she about to pinch a fly to death, but now even a mosquito couldn't fly over.
Wang's tone was very firm. If she didn't let Nangong Rui be the shopkeeper, then she would tell Su Jixiang that she had instigated Wang to file a complaint!
Qian Feng still has to work under Wei Ling, and now she still has to rely on Qian Feng. Her wings are not that strong, so she cannot offend Su Jixiang for the time being.
"Give it to me! I'm not like some people who only talk but don't do anything!" Zhao Xiuwan didn't forget to step on Su Jixiang again and said, "From today on, Nangong Rui will be the shopkeeper of my Hongyun Building! I'll give you ten taels of silver a month!"
