Shen Yuan was abandoned in the wilderness at birth and suffered greatly for eighteen years. The only light in her life was a weak scholar. He taught her to read and write, and she gathered herbs to...
They were smarter than he thought.
Jiang Yuchen fiddled with his fan, staring at Shen Yuan with a half-smile: "Since we both want to rent this shop, then you tell Old Li who this shop should be rented to!"
Shen Yuan: "According to the principle of first come, first served, I was the first to sign the contract with Boss Li today!"
Jiang Yuchen didn't take it to heart: "In business, there's no such thing as first come, first served; it's all about the winner taking all."
"So what if you and Old Li have already signed a contract? I still managed to make him change his mind with ease!"
"Since I won, this shop should be rented to me!"
Hearing Jiang Yucheng's words, Shen Yuan immediately had an idea. She stood between Jiang Yucheng and Old Li, her tone slightly raised: "Since Young Master Jiang says the winner takes all, why don't we make a bet today in front of Boss Li and have a contest? The winner will rent this shop for three hundred taels. Boss Li, as the witness, can only rent the shop to one of us. How about that?"
Old Li rolled his eyes and said "good".
Jiang Yuchen's interest was piqued by Shen Yuan's words, and he asked in return, "How do you want to have the competition?"
Shen Yuan: "Since Young Master Jiang and I are both renting this shop to do business, let's have a sales competition. Tomorrow, we will each bring our own goods to sell here, and the one who makes the most profit will be the winner and can rent this shop."
"After all, only profitable shops can stay open for a long time. Mr. Li also wants to rent the shop to someone who can lease it long-term, right?"
Old Li nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, yes!"
Jiang Yuchen: "Fine! Let's have a competition. The loser can't rob any more shops, and he has to give the winner fifty taels!"
Shen Yuan: "Okay!"
Seeing that Shen Yuan accepted the bet without any hesitation, Jiang Yuchen couldn't help but add, "In Jinling City, no one dares to compete with me for business! And no one can take away what I want from you! If you cry later, don't cry and accuse me of bullying a young girl like you!"
