One year brought a great drought, the next year floods, and then, in a blink, a plague.
The Xu family fled from the north to the south, and then from the south back to the north.
Before...
As soon as they entered the wing room, Xu Ning and Old Lady Xu were captivated by the sight before them. The room was filled with all kinds of jewelry that were even more unique and exquisite than those on the second floor, glittering with gold and dazzling in every way.
The shopkeeper introduced enthusiastically: "These are carefully selected by our boss. Each one is unique and of high quality."
Xu Ning and Old Lady Xu carefully examined the jewelry, occasionally picking up a piece to admire. As expected, just as the shopkeeper had said, these were all high-quality items.
In the end, Xu Ning and Old Mrs. Xu both picked out a few pieces they liked.
Unfortunately, after searching for a long time, she still couldn't find any jewelry suitable for Jiang Yan. However, Xu Ning was not anxious. She believed that as long as she searched patiently, she would eventually find the right gift.
Seeing that Xu Ning liked it, the shopkeeper took the initiative to waive the price of one item and gave him a very low discount on the others.
Xu Ning was very satisfied. Otherwise, why would she have stayed on the first floor waiting for the shopkeeper? Since the shopkeeper didn't want to offend anyone at the time, then a little bleeding would be okay, right?
With such a low discount, Xu Ning picked out a few more pieces of jewelry. After buying them, she wanted to go somewhere else to see if there was anything more suitable.
So she asked the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, do you know any other shops around here that have items of similar quality?"
The shopkeeper's heart was bleeding, but he replied enthusiastically: "Of course! There are several good shops nearby. I can recommend them to you."
Having said that, he quickly sent Xu Ning and his grandson out of the room, fearing that Xu Ning would refuse to leave and continue to pick, and if he continued to pick, he would really cry.
Fortunately, Xu Ning knew when to stop. After she walked out of the room, the shopkeeper told her the addresses and features of several nearby stores.
The shopkeeper was relieved when he saw Xu Ning listening attentively. He said, "Let's just give this ancestor to them for reception. Let's go quickly. Let's go quickly."
When the shopkeeper and Xu Ning and his grandson walked to the lobby on the first floor, they saw the group of people upstairs preparing to get on the carriage and leave.
Xu Ning asked curiously, "Boss, whose families are these young ladies from? They look really rich."
The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment and answered uncertainly, "Well...Boss Xu, who do you want to ask?"
He was a little confused as to why Xu Ning suddenly asked this question, and was worried that she might be seeking revenge or something. If it was revenge, he really didn't dare to say it.
Xu Ning smiled and explained, "It's nothing. I just thought they were generous and must be daughters of wealthy families. If our shop could accommodate more customers like them, business would definitely improve. So I wanted the staff to remember their appearance and status, so they can take special care of them and experience better service."
The shopkeeper suddenly understood and nodded quickly, "Oh, I see. Boss Xu really knows how to run a business!"
The shopkeeper knew that Xu Ning just wanted to take advantage of these ambitious young ladies, so he felt relieved. He thought it was not a big deal and it was something people did frequently in business.
Then, he introduced the identities and backgrounds of those people to Xu Ning in detail, including which family they came from, their status in the family, etc.
After listening to the shopkeeper's introduction, Xu Ning secretly thought to himself that he must ask his subordinates to treat them well, and it would be best if he could sell the unsold items to them at a high price.
If we don't kill them hard once, we will be doing them a disservice to their arrogant attitude.
Xu Ning was very satisfied, so he told the owner of the jewelry store that he would have someone send a few tickets to him later, which she would consider as free gifts.
The shopkeeper naturally responded without hesitation. After seeing off Xu Ning and his grandson, he met the waiter's puzzled eyes. In a good mood, he advised the waiter: "Next time you see those two, be smart. The younger one is the boss over there."
As he said this, the shopkeeper nodded in the direction of Happy Valley, and the waiter's eyes widened after hearing this.
On the other side, Xu Ning casually walked into a Daqing Happy Valley property, put down the things he bought and called the shopkeeper to the backyard. After giving the orders, he continued to take Old Lady Xu shopping.
"Grandma, why are you so absent-minded?"
"It's okay, I just seemed to see someone I know."
"Who is it?"
"I didn't see it clearly. Never mind. I don't want to think about it anymore."
Xu Ning felt something was strange. After thinking about it, he thought of those rich girls. Then, a light bulb went off in his head and he figured it out.
It seems that it is too good a deal for her to just let her subordinates sell her some defective products.
No, if the son doesn’t pay back his father’s debt, then the grandson will pay it!
"Grandma, I need to go to the bathroom. Please wait for me at the store in front."
"Okay, go ahead."
After saying that, Xu Ning immediately slipped away. After making sure that Old Lady Xu was not looking at her, she quickly ran into a store and found her own people.
"Listen to me. Besides the previous order, anyone from Duke Xu's Mansion who comes to buy something in the future must be made to spend the most money on the worst quality products. Also..."
Xu Ning whispered in the shopkeeper's ear for a while, and then saw the shopkeeper also revealing a sly smile.
"Okay, boss, don't worry, we will definitely treat them well!"
Xu Ning nodded with satisfaction, then turned and left the store.
As she walked, she wondered what expression Old Lady Xu would have if she knew how badly she had screwed over those people in Duke Xu's family.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help laughing.
"What are you laughing at? You're like a cat stealing some fish." Xu Ning was immersed in her own thoughts when she suddenly heard someone talking in her ear. She was so scared that she almost jumped up.
"Qi Canglan, will you die if you don't scare me?!" Xu Ning turned her head and saw Qi Canglan standing behind her with a smirk on his face. She was immediately furious and slapped him hard.
