Chapter 148 Making Trouble
After listening to Liu Mingda's words, Zhang Juexia was no longer worried.
After all, she does have a lot of things going on right now.
She carefully put away the banknotes and talked with Ye Beixiu on the kang for a while. She fell asleep only when she was too sleepy to open her eyes.
After breakfast the next day, Zhang Juexia first introduced Song Yu to everyone in the backyard, and then specifically instructed Liu Jinhua to make sure to take good care of him.
Liu Jinhua patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, my wife Beixiu."
Only then did Zhang Juexia go to the town with Ye Beixiu.
Shopkeeper Yao has posted notices recruiting apprentices and assistants, but no one has come to inquire yet.
Zhang Juexia was not in a hurry. She found Zhao Xiang and asked him to modify the shop according to her instructions.
Including the backyard, she planned to reserve a room as a room for her and Ye Beixiu.
The rest were converted into areas for embroidery.
Zhao Xiang agreed readily. "I only heard that the shop was sold, but I didn't expect that you two would buy it."
"This is just a coincidence. Uncle, how long does it take to survive?"
"I'm afraid we'll have to wait until spring before we can do this work."
"Okay, I'll get in line first, but I'll do my work first."
Zhang Juexia wanted to pay a deposit, but Zhao Xiang refused to take it. "We are all relatives, so this shouldn't happen."
After Zhao Xiang left, Manager Yao came over and said, "I've done all the work you assigned to me. Just keep an eye on it for the next few days! I'm busy over there too, so I'm afraid I won't have time to take care of it."
"That's all."
Zhang Juexia and Ye Beixiu were staring at each other in the shop.
Ye Beixiu paced back and forth nervously, "Why is there no one here?"
"Just be patient and take your time. This shop can't be opened in a day. Besides, we have to wait until the New Year to close it."
"What if there's no one?"
Zhang Juexia comforted Ye Beixiu, "It's not that there's no one here. By the way, we have to go to the government office later to say hello to Zhang Wei and Liu Qiang. After all, we have opened a shop in the town, so we should let them know.
As for the Li family, I have to inform Madam Li as well. We will have to rely on the Li family to protect us from now on."
"Anyway, there's no one here right now, why don't we go now?"
"become."
The two of them finished what needed to be done together, had lunch outside, and then returned to the shop.
"I didn't expect it to go so smoothly."
"Well, what I didn't expect was that Zhang Wei and Liu Qiang were both in the government office, and they both promised to come and support the opening."
"What's the big deal? Madam Li said people would come on the opening day! She even promised to invite a few close friends along. I'm so happy just thinking about that."
Our shop will earn money from these wealthy ladies and daughters in the future. If she can invite them, I will have a lot less work to do!"
Zhang Juexia's face showed joy. It was true that if you are willing to sacrifice a child, you can catch a wolf.
"Boss, are you hiring any assistants?"
Zhang Juexia and Ye Beixiu looked at each other and said, "Let's go out and take a look."
When the young man saw someone coming out, he was so nervous that he didn't even raise his head. "Boss, I saw someone outside saying they were hiring, so I came here."
Zhang Juexia felt familiar with the voice, "Look up."
"Is it you?"
Zhang Juexia then remembered that this was the bookshop clerk she had teased a while ago. "You don't work in the bookshop anymore?"
The young man smiled awkwardly and said, "The shopkeeper doesn't want me anymore, so why don't I come here to try?"
Zhang Juexia just stared at the boy without saying anything.
The young man couldn't help but said, "Sorry to bother you, boss. I... I'm leaving now."
"You are so lacking in confidence that you leave before I even say anything."
The young man scratched his head and said, "Based on my performance back then, it would be strange if the shopkeeper would be interested in me!"
"Tell me, why did the bookstore owner fire you?"
"The distant nephew of the bookstore owner came and bullied me, so I had no choice but to look for a job."
"Isn't it because you're rude to customers?"
The boy shook his head like a drum. "I won't dare to do that again. Ever since you taught me a lesson, I won't dare to do that again."
"What's your name? Where do you live?"
"My last name is Ding. When I was born, my family named me Ding Man. I live in this town. I have a mother and a brother."
"Learn to read?"
"I know a few."
"Come on, if you like, get to work now!"
Timon was surprised, "So soon?"
"Why? Not happy?"
"With pleasure, with pleasure."
Zhang Juexia kept Ding Man and found someone to sign the contract. "I found out that the workers in this town are all paid 300 wen a month. Let's do the same. If you do a good job, your salary will increase in the future."
"Boss, don't worry, I will do my best."
"Let's make a deal first. You're not allowed to entertain me like that again. If it happens again, you'll be out of here, and I'll make sure you can't find a job in town."
"I remember that."
Zhang Juexia was quite satisfied with Ding Man's attitude.
After all, she taught him a lesson that time.
Ding Man found a new job and felt both happy and nervous.
He felt that although the female shopkeeper in front of him spoke in a friendly manner, she always gave people the feeling that she was not easy to mess with.
Zhang Juexia had no time to care what Ding Man thought. She told Ding Man what to do and prepared to go home.
Ding Man looked at Zhang Juexia in disbelief, "Am I the only one in charge of the store?"
"Well, what's the problem?"
"No, no."
"What you need to do is very simple. Clean the shop. If anyone comes to ask about the apprenticeship, you should register them. I have taught you everything I need to teach you. If there is anything I cannot handle, you can find Manager Yao and she will handle it."
"knew."
Zhang Juexia had already gotten into the carriage when he saw Liu Hong staggering towards him, drunk.
"Is there anyone breathing? You dare to rob my shop? I think you are really brave."
After saying that, he picked up a tool and walked in.
Although Ding Man had work experience, he was still frightened, "Sir, if you have something to say, you can't do this!"
Liu Hong patted his chest in disdain and said, "I do what I want to do. I don't need you to teach me."
He straightened himself up and rubbed his eyes again, "Where's your boss? Ask him to come out and talk to me."
Ding Man had no choice but to bite the bullet and tell the truth, "Our boss is not here."
"Not here?"
Liu Hong looked around but couldn't find anyone. He stepped forward and grabbed Ding Man's collar, "Tell your boss that I, Liu Hong, have been here."
Timon responded repeatedly.
"Also, tell them that I, Liu Hong, am not so easy to bully. Just wait, I will definitely teach them a lesson."
