Chapter 200 Opening
Manager Yao reminded Zhang Juexia that it was easy to find a cook in the town, but when doing business, there would inevitably be some secrets.
If you meet an unreliable woman, her gossip might ruin a good deal.
"Look at the people in my shop. They all signed life contracts. This is how they stick with the shop."
Zhang Juexia was the most receptive to advice, and he recalled Madam Li's words that day, "Then I'll go find a human trafficker and buy a few people tomorrow."
"That's right."
Zhang Juexia chuckled.
"You know what, the mother and daughter recommended by Doctor Liu, especially Aunt Wang, are really good."
"I think it's good too. I don't think I did very well."
"It's mainly because your stall is too big and you're too busy."
"Actually, I rarely have to worry about family matters now. Song Yu can handle things on his own, so I just let him do what he wants.
The main thing is that I still don’t know enough, and I need to learn from you.”
"What's there to learn? All the brains of us put together are not as good as yours.
If you have that much time, you might as well think about how to make more money!"
Zhang Juexia was speechless after what Manager Yao said, but he also agreed with her next words.
I was just thinking of having a good discussion with Manager Yao on how to make more money!
Shopkeeper Yao suddenly sat up straight and said to Zhang Juexia seriously, "Who have you invited to the shop opening the day after tomorrow?"
"You, and Madam Li, my husband has told Zhang Wei and Liu Qiang from the government office, as well as Manager Wan and Uncle Zhao Xiang. They all said they'd be coming."
Shopkeeper Yao pondered for a moment, "Fang Lan has returned from the county town, and I'm worried she might cause trouble."
"Why is she back?"
"I just heard that their family has been very busy recently, and the eldest son and the second son are arguing about getting a divorce.
I heard that at the beginning Liu Hong was arrogant and let his wives make a fuss and didn't care at all.
Now his two sons would rather leave the house than divorce.
Anyway, his family affairs are quite troublesome and cannot be explained in a few words.
Liu Hong couldn't hold on any longer, so he went to the county town to call Fang Lan back.
"Then Fang Lan has a slight advantage this time."
"Tsk, you're really flattering her. I heard from my good sister that her third daughter-in-law almost kicked her out. Liu Hong went to call her, and she followed him back up the ladder."
"I've met Liu Sanle's wife. She's definitely not someone who's easy to get along with."
"Let's not talk about their family's affairs. Let's talk about your opening. Think about it, what will you do if Wan Fanglan comes?"
"I didn't steal or rob. She came as she pleased. Besides, I guess she knew I bought the shop a long time ago, but she just didn't dare tell Liu Hong."
Shopkeeper Yao thought about it carefully and said, "It's really possible. Forget it, let's sort it out again to see if there is anything we have missed. We don't want to panic later."
The two of them were busy until midnight. Ye Beixiu came to Manager Yao's house to pick him up, and Zhang Juexia left.
"Your husband is truly caring. He even came to pick you up after walking just a few steps."
Ye Beixiu grinned after hearing what Manager Yao said.
He had been with Shopkeeper Yao for a long time and they were quite familiar with each other. "You should love your own wife."
Shopkeeper Yao gave him a thumbs up.
Ye Beixiu was walking with Zhang Juexia on the road. Zhang Juexia sighed, "Why do I feel like I'm being forced into something I'm not prepared for? From the beginning, I only had a vague understanding of it, and now I only have a superficial understanding of it, yet I dare to open an embroidery workshop and take on embroidery jobs."
"I don't think so. My wife is capable of supporting these."
"Thank you, my husband."
"Thank me for what? I think I should thank you for allowing me to no longer be a hunter in the mountains who only knows how to survive by hunting."
Ye Beixiu held Zhang Juexia's hand tightly, and their shadows became longer and longer.
Early the next morning, Zhang Juexia asked Ye Beixiu to accompany him to the dental clinic.
After much deliberation, she selected four maids who could do odd jobs sweeping the floor and two maids who had cooking skills. She took them back and handed them over to Aunt Wang, asking her to take charge of their arrangements.
When Aunt Wang saw these old women, she immediately understood what was going on.
She wanted to explain, but was stopped by Zhang Juexia, "I am honored that you can come to us from Qingfeng City.
I was so busy before that I neglected this matter. I hope you can forgive me."
Zhang Juexia's tone was extremely sincere, and Aunt Wang was moved. "Look at what the boss said, what's the point of forgiving or not forgiving? I'm also at fault in this matter. I should have said it in time if I had any request at the time."
"Okay, I've taken note of what you said. If you encounter any problems in the future, you must tell me in time.
Also, Auntie, can you please stop calling me "boss" all the time? I'm not very old, but it makes me feel old just hearing that."
"What's that called?"
"Call me by my name. Just call me Zhang Juexia, or Juexia is fine too."
"Will this work?"
"Of course it can be done."
Aunt Wang called out stiffly, "Juexia."
Zhang Juexia agreed readily.
Li Xi and Li Le had already arrived at the shop. Zhang Juexia introduced them to each other and explained to Li Xi the matter of the opening tomorrow.
Li Xi instantly took on the role of shopkeeper and added some details that Zhang Juexia had not thought of.
After a few people finalized the matter, they each went about their own business.
The sixth day of the second lunar month is a good day, and Zhang Juexia’s Shengxia Embroidery Workshop officially opens.
Several familiar shops in the town sent gifts to celebrate.
Mrs. Li brought the wives of several wealthy families in the town to the shop to show their support.
The ladies of the wealthy families had unique vision. They all took a liking to the purses displayed by Zhang Juexia and immediately ordered dozens of them.
There are also embroidery pieces, and several of them have been ordered.
Qian Yulin looked a little tired. After talking to Zhang Juexia for a few words, he found an excuse and left.
When the other ladies saw Qian Yulin leaving, they said a few words of blessing and left.
Liu Hong, who was waiting outside the shop, raised the corner of his mouth in disdain, "I thought it was a great honor. Madam Li left, and these ladies left too."
He reached out and pulled Fang Lan, "I say, aren't you the one who knows the most about embroidery? Hurry up and go in and find trouble for me.
I just don’t want to make them happy today.”
Fang Lan struggled, "Master, listen to me, their family background..."
"Bah, I didn't ask you to smash the shop. Are you looking for trouble? If I were an embroidery master, I wouldn't need you."
Fang Lan struggled hard and didn't want to enter Shengxia Embroidery Workshop.
Outside, there was the sound of horse hooves. A few officers dismounted and shouted, "Excuse me, is this the new shop opened by Ye Beixiu and Zhang Juexia?"
Ye Beixiu and Zhang Juexia heard the sound and ran out.
"I am here on the orders of our wife to congratulate you two."
