Chapter 1920 Shu Yu is very satisfied

Shu Yu raised an eyebrow, "Seize the opportunity?"

Jiang Fengshou rubbed his nose. "To tell you the truth, County Princess, I actually inquired about the owner's preferences and gave him some gifts. But! That's a legitimate way to do things, right? And after I took over the general store, the business got better and better. During my three years there, the Liu family bought the shop next door and expanded the store."

Lu Sanzhu looked up and clicked his tongue. Giving gifts? Using connections? This method is unacceptable; this person is dishonest.

He never considered that he had been paid extra money in the peach orchard time and time again, and that he had never shortchanged anyone on his gifts.

Shu Yu felt that Jiang Fengshou was indeed a very clever person. She had only asked four words when he immediately understood what she wanted to know, without needing him to say anything more.

"The Liu family's general store... When did you leave the general store, and how did you leave?"

Jiang Fengshou's fingers tightened slightly as he whispered, "Last year, at the end of October last year, my elderly father fell ill and I couldn't take care of him. After talking to my employer, I quit that job."

Shu Yu's hand suddenly stopped. At the end of October last year, Chenggu County was in chaos due to the harassment by mountain bandits.

What a coincidence that Jiang Fengshou managed to escape just before the chaos erupted in the prefectural city.

She spoke with a hidden meaning, "I remember that the Liu family's general store was also caught in the vortex of chaos before the New Year, and was involved in the case of the former prefect, right?"

Jiang Fengshou nodded, his voice even softer, "Yes, the Liu family has all been sentenced to exile. Because I had worked for the Liu family before, the authorities summoned me for questioning, and after confirming that it had nothing to do with me, they released me."

Shu Yu laughed and said, "Then you're quite lucky."

Jiang Fengshou chuckled twice, "My father was sick, but thankfully he's fine now."

Shu Yu understood then that Jiang Fengshou was a very clever person. He had just mentioned that he used to be a peddler who traveled from street to street, which must have meant that he realized something. So when chaos broke out in Chenggu County, he decisively withdrew from the Liu family.

Shu Yu's expression softened. Of all the shopkeepers he had interviewed in the past two days, none of them had resigned in advance like him. They all lost their jobs because of the chaos in the prefecture and the fact that their shops could no longer operate.

"I understand your situation, but I need to think about it some more. Please come back in two days." The second interview will be held two days later.

Jiang Fengshou was taken aback, then looked up in surprise, "Yes, then I'll head back now, Your Highness."

He was very happy; even though it wasn't confirmed yet, it was as if he had already been chosen.

After everyone left, Lu Sanzhu shook his head with a deep look on his face. "Look at him, so carefree and always smiling. He looks like a thief, nothing like me. If someone like that becomes the manager, your shop will be ruined sooner or later."

"Don't you look like your third uncle?"

"Of course not. Listen to what he just said. He already guessed that the master's family was going to suffer, so he resigned from the job of manager in advance. This is called 'every man for himself when disaster strikes.' He will definitely betray you in the future and be disloyal."

Lu Sanzhu was quick-witted; he hadn't understood it before, but now he had guessed what kind of riddle Shu Yu and Jiang Fengshou were playing.

“I think it’s good that he’s so alert. The Liu family is deeply involved, and the outcome is not something he can change. It’s wise to withdraw in time to protect himself and his family. He hasn’t betrayed the Liu family.”
