Chapter 200
It's like being possessed by an evil spirit.
Tian Bajiao looked at her silently, thought for a moment, and then asked tentatively, "What do you mean, boss?"
"I mean, let's just give it a try."
Boss Shen sounded quite serious about what he said.
Tian Bajiao asked her, "What if we lose money?"
"Well, in this business, there are always losses. If you lose, just cut your losses in time. Just try it boldly and do your best. If you really lose, I won't blame you."
What she said was so grand.
Tian Bajiao: "What if I make money and others get jealous and offend people?"
Boss Shen said logically, "That's because they don't have the ability. I've thought about it. People can't always live under the eyes of others. As long as they have a clear conscience, it's fine. We don't steal or rob, so what's wrong with us? Don't you agree?"
Shen Jiao, who loves to steal and rob: ...
The honest Tian Bajiao forced a smile and said, "Boss, what you said makes sense. I'll prepare well then."
"How can I leave everything to you? What kind of person would I be then? After all, this shop is mine. You are willing to work hard, which shows your loyalty. I can't just sit there and watch. How about this? I will increase your wages to one or two taels. If this thing succeeds, I will give you a share. How about that?"
Tian Bajiao: "This... is too much..."
"What's the big deal? This is what you deserve. You've saved me so much trouble inside and outside the store. Even if other companies hired ten or eight people, they might not be able to do as well as you. If the business really grows in the future, I will need you as an assistant to help manage things."
What Boss Shen said was so considerate and confident.
"Thank you very much, boss!"
Tian Bajiao smiled and nodded, and the smile slowly faded when she turned around.
His fingers were fiddling with the abacus, but his mind was already wandering.
Tian Bajiao was now wondering whether she should invite some monks or nuns to come and take a look for her to see if she was seeking anything.
Otherwise, how could she suddenly become so open-minded overnight?
He is so impatient, as if he regards money as nothing more than his body.
Tian Bajiao didn't worry much about it, she just took the money and went to buy things.
I also bought some pretty good tea and potted fruit trees.
It was originally intended to be placed in Pinxiang's private room, but it was planted in the backyard. Such a big commotion could definitely not be concealed from anyone.
Lady Wang from the opposite door came over curiously: "Aniao, what are you doing?"
Boss Shen would be so anxious when he saw Madam Wang that he would say he would not delay her work, but he would still chat with her for at least half an hour.
But today he seemed not to want to talk much, and casually said, "Nothing, it's just that this place looks ugly with all the bare dirt inside and out, so I thought I'd clean it up and live more comfortably."
"This must cost you a lot of money, right?"
Madam Wang was amazed.
"It won't take much." Boss Shen still perfunctorily answered.
Lady Wang didn't believe it: "Have you become rich?"
Boss Shen: "I'm wondering, where should I send it?"
She responded with a fake smile. Perhaps Mrs. Wang noticed her indifference, so she made an excuse that she had something to do in the store and did not stay long.
Seeing that Boss Shen was not at home in the afternoon, he came back quietly.
He looked around pretentiously and said, "Bajiao, where is your boss Shen?"
"She's out now. I guess she won't be back for a while. Madam Wang wants to see her? How about sitting down for a while and having some tea while she waits?"
"No, no, there's nothing good to drink in your store."
She spoke the truth bluntly, looking around as if she was hesitating about how to start asking.
Tian Bajiao made her a cup of tea, pushed it towards her and said, "It's different today. The boss bought some new tea, and I think it's pretty good."
Madam Wang tasted it and said in surprise, "Is she possessed? How could she be willing to spend such money?"
"The boss said that the old ones were too shabby and couldn't keep customers, so he bought some better ones."
In fact, the original words are: You can’t catch a wolf without sacrificing the child.
But it would be too unpleasant to hear this, and Madam Wang is not someone who keeps her mouth shut.
Anyway, they all mean the same thing, and it still surprises Lady Wang:
"Didn't she say that this isn't a teahouse and that good tea costs too much?"
"Then I don't know," Tian Bajiao shook his head and said, "Maybe... he has come to terms with it."
"She's too open-minded then."
Not only Tian Bajiao thought so, but also Lady Wang, who had known Boss Shen for a long time, had the same idea. She was still guessing,
"Bajiao, tell me the truth, has your boss become rich?"
Tian Bajiao flipped the account book over and showed it to her: "What are you giving out? I haven't made much money these past two days. If this continues, I won't be able to make ends meet and won't even be able to afford meat and vegetables."
"Then what is she doing? Isn't it over?"
Madam Wang really couldn't figure it out, and Tian Bajiao didn't want to say too much, so she said vaguely:
"After all, I want to do business well."
"This is not a good business at all. I've already lost a lot of money before I even start making any money... Bring me a stool. I'll sit and wait for her."
Mrs. Wang originally just wanted to ask some questions and didn't want to stay long, but seeing Boss Shen's attitude, she really wanted to have a good chat with her, so she simply sat down and didn't leave.
Tian Bajiao added water to her bottle several times before Boss Shen came back in a ox cart.
The car also carried soil, flower stands, bamboo poles and other items.
She plans to plant some flowers at the door as well.
It would be best if there were some climbing vines or something, which would grow tall after the frame was built. Otherwise, you could add a platform upstairs and let the vines hang down after planting.
She spoke excitedly, and the word "spending money" was everywhere between the lines.
Lady Wang was dumbfounded and said, "You are really crazy. How much will this cost?"
"I'm happy to spend any amount," Boss Shen's smile faded, and then he smiled again, "Speaking of which, I have a business deal I'd like to discuss with Sister Wang. As you can see, I want to improve my shop, and I need to change every aspect. Those purses I used to have are no longer useful. Sister, can you take some back or give me some in exchange? From now on, my shop won't accept such crude items. Do you have anything better?"
These purses at the entrance of Dingxiangfang were all from the embroidery shop across the street. They were filled with spices from the shop, and the profits were shared between the two families.
It doesn't matter if it can't be sold. According to Boss Shen herself, the two sides have never argued about this. If it has been hanging for too long, sometimes she will buy it and give it to big customers, so it's not a loss.
Now suddenly she wants them to take it back, this matter... is a blessing that she was able to ask for it.
Madam Wang said, "How can you say that? I told you to put it on my end, but you were not happy about it. Now you just let me take it back. What were you thinking? I can see that you have become rich and look down on my small shop. So, let's not talk about business anymore. I will not do your business anymore."
She started yelling across the street, asking the people next door to come over and take away all the purses, and then she dumped the spices into a pile and threw them back into the store.
