Chapter 2181 Shopkeeper Yun Qide
Xiang Weinan was still somewhat annoyed. He sat opposite Meng Yunzheng and handed him a clean teacup.
The latter smiled and poured him a cup of... tea. "Thank you."
Xiang Weinan scoffed, not wanting to speak.
Meng Yunzheng then looked up at Yun Qide and said, "Manager Yun, please have a seat."
"Yes." Yun Qide sat down to the side and heard Meng Yunzheng say, "Although your Lord Xiang brought you here, I still have to ask you a question: would you be willing to work as the manager of A Yu's shop?"
"I do."
Meng Yunzheng then looked at Shu Yu and said, "You come over." After all, it was her shop, and they should discuss the matter themselves.
Shu Yu didn't mince words and asked Yun Qide, "Has Lord Xiang told you about our family's situation?"
Before he could answer, Xiang Weinan interjected, "He knows everything without me having to say it. The night that shop on Futai Street was bought, he asked around. Later, when he found out it was you who bought it, he specifically came to ask me what kind of business it was in, tsk..."
Looking back now, he even wonders if Manager Yun was already planning to switch jobs back then.
Shu Yu understood. "Although I understand, I still have to make it clear that our shop is newly opened and doesn't have much of a foothold in the capital. It's still under renovation, and the goods will arrive once it's finished. I'll be staying in the capital for a few months, and I'll leave once business stabilizes. So, you'll be fully responsible for this shop in the capital from now on. You'll have to solve any problems yourself."
Manager Yun looked serious and straightened his back a bit. "Don't worry, Mr. Lu, I understand."
He then hesitated before speaking, "Princess Lu just said that she will be leaving in a few months. Does that mean Young Master Meng will do the same?"
Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng exchanged a glance; Manager Yun was indeed perceptive.
Meng Yunzheng nodded. "Yes."
Shopkeeper Yun was slightly surprised. Wasn't Young Master Meng participating in the imperial examination? If nothing unexpected happened, he might stay in the capital to become an official after passing the examination.
Although he had doubts, he didn't ask any more questions. Some things will become clear in time.
Shu Yu asked Manager Yun some questions and found that he was very clear about the situation in the capital. He had been paying close attention to the booming business and had a thorough understanding of the target customer group.
No wonder Xiang Weinan used him so much that he was reluctant to let go.
Shu Yu didn't mention the salary, but Manager Yun's wages at the Xiang family must be quite high. She'd have to ask Xiang Weinan about it later; this was a talent they poached, and she couldn't let him be treated unfairly.
Seeing that the matter was almost settled, Xiang Weinan stood up and said, "Although he is going back to your place, before that, he needs to explain the future of our family business clearly."
Then he looked at Yun Qide and said, "I'll give you half a month to pick a suitable manager for me and train him. Don't ruin my good business."
"Master Xiang, I already have someone in mind."
Xiang Weinan chuckled, becoming even more suspicious that he had wanted to switch jobs a long time ago.
Regardless, he took Yun Qide back on the spot and made him find the replacement manager so that he could personally teach and test him. He wouldn't let him leave until he passed.
Watching the two people rush by, Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng exchanged a glance and decided to continue eating.
With the shopkeeper's matter settled, Shu Yu felt relieved. As for the staff, she could take her time to choose and keep the suitable ones.
