Chapter 1540 Wei Ronghua Recruitment
Shu Yu could only put this matter aside for the time being. Moreover, Chen Ji's death had implicated that mysterious person. If it were Shu Yu herself, for safety's sake, she would most likely leave Jiangyuan County to hide for a while.
Because he had to be a witness, Shu Yu was delayed for a day, and it wasn't until the next day that he set off again for the prefectural city.
The shops in Fengtao Lane in Fucheng have been renovated. When Shu Yu went there, she was surprised to find that the area around the shops was quite lively.
The carriage stopped when it was still more than 20 meters away.
She and Yingxi exchanged a glance, took a few steps forward, and grabbed a bystander, asking, "What's going on up there? Why are there so many people?"
"Hey, didn't you know? There's a popular saying going around the streets lately: 'A shop in Fengtao Lane is opening on the first day of the ninth lunar month, it's the one right ahead.'" The man pointed ahead and explained.
Shu Yu laughed. It seemed that the rhyming method was indeed effective, and it had already been quite successful in just a few days.
The man continued, "Isn't the store opening soon? The shop owner needs to find a suitable employee. Yesterday afternoon, the word was spread that anyone who wants to apply can do so. Applications will close in two days, and then the selection process will begin. If the job is suitable, the pay will be quite good."
Shu Yu was surprised to learn that the day before yesterday was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and as far as he knew, Wei Ronghua would not set off back to the prefectural city until after the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Returning from Donggu County and settling in, it would have taken at least a full day yesterday, right? But he, on the other hand, started making preparations yesterday afternoon?
Yingxi whispered, "Miss, this Manager Wei is really hardworking; it was worth hiring him."
Shu Yu nodded. "Let's go in through the back door."
There are so many people in front of it, it'll be a huge hassle to get in.
Yingxi then led the carriage back to the previous intersection and circled around to the back.
Shu Yu had the key, but the noise she made when she opened the door still caught the attention of the people inside. As soon as she pushed the door open, she saw Wei Fangfang staring at her warily.
Upon seeing her, he was immediately delighted, exclaiming, "Lu Xiangjun!"
"Miss Wei is here too?"
Wei Fangfang put down the stick she had grabbed in her haste, clapped her hands, and said, "My dad came over to do some work, so I'm just lending a hand."
Shu Yu walked in with a smile, "Then I'll have to pay you your wages."
Wei Fangfang quickly waved her hand, "No need, no need. I didn't really help much. I just accompanied my dad and occasionally poured him a glass of water."
Actually, she originally came to see if she needed to sweep the floor or wipe the tables, but when she entered, she found that everything was clean and there was no need for her. So she quickly went to the backyard to boil some water and deliver it to the people waiting to register outside, since it was still quite hot at midday.
Upon hearing this, Shu Yu became even more satisfied with Wei Ronghua. He himself was quite capable, and his daughter was also very thoughtful in everything she taught.
She rolled up her sleeves. "Is the water ready? I'll help."
Wei Fangfang was startled. "No, no, no, it's okay. I can do it myself."
The water was already boiled, and just as she was about to go out to find the tray, she heard a noise coming from the back door. She grabbed a stick from the side and got ready, but before she could even call for her father, the door was pushed open.
Seeing that she was nervous, Shu Yu had no choice but to give up and ask Ying Xi to help her, while she walked towards the shop in front.
Before even entering, I could hear a lively commotion.
Wei Ronghua, along with Ren Yiping, a shop assistant who had arrived in the prefectural city ahead of time, was asking questions and registering information in an orderly manner.
