Chapter 2378 Arguing
Ma Lu and the Fang family were both very happy.
Shu Yu was also very happy. Meng Yunzheng was no longer bothered by Qi Lie, and his mood improved as well.
The shop began renovations in earnest, and Shu Yu pondered how to hire a manager and employees.
She actually thought highly of Xu Dali and Xu Zhensheng, but given their performance in this incident, they would definitely deserve a share of the rewards.
When they are no longer burdened with guilt, they may leave the Southwest, return to their hometowns, and have a better future.
Therefore, Shu Yu plans to hire a manager and employees locally.
Although the population composition in the Southwest is complex, there are also many talented people. Many people who were originally from wealthy families or had abilities were exiled here for various reasons.
Any one of these people could probably achieve great things.
only……
“I don’t know any of these people,” Shu Yu said to Meng Yunzheng with some worry. “We can’t stay here for long. If the shopkeeper is a bad person, this shop will have been opened for nothing.”
No matter where she opened her shop, choosing the right manager was always a major concern for her.
Especially since this is in the southwest, unlike Dong'an Prefecture which is his hometown, or the shops in Changjin Prefecture which are the Meng family's hometown, and unlike the capital where Meng Yunzheng has old acquaintances and confidants.
The Southwest is inherently complex and far away, so Yuan Gui and his group only occasionally deliver goods here. Generally, the management is entirely handled by the shopkeeper here.
Meng Yunzheng told her not to rush, "We are not familiar with Hetai Prefecture, but Lord Cheng and Chengxian have lived here for so many years, they should know it. If you really can't make up your mind, ask them?"
Shu Yu's eyes lit up instantly. "Okay!"
The two went to the Cheng family's house, but as soon as they entered the front yard, they heard Lord Cheng and Cheng Xian arguing, their faces red from the argument.
Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng exchanged a glance, both somewhat surprised.
Cheng Xian... how dare he argue with Lord Cheng?
The two men couldn't listen any longer. Unexpectedly, Lord Cheng had already seen them. He immediately raised his head and said, "Young Master Meng, County Princess Lu, you've come at the right time. Please help me persuade him."
The two, not understanding why, followed him inside.
"Lord Cheng, what's wrong with you all?"
Lord Cheng sighed and said, "I won't hide it from you. After this matter in the Southwest is over, the Cheng family will probably fall into ruin. I don't know what will happen in the future. Most likely, we will face imprisonment." In more serious cases, we might even have to atone with our deaths.
"In the entire Cheng family, it's already a miracle that a few children were spared. Although Chengxian has served me for so many years, he shouldn't be the one to be punished. I gave him a contract of indenture, hoping that while I still have some ability, he could fend for himself, thus fulfilling our master-servant relationship. But he refused, insisting on sticking with the Cheng family through thick and thin. I know he's loyal, but the Cheng family is doing its best to protect as many as possible right now, so why drag him down with them?"
However, Chengxian also had his own reasons: "I am the only one left by the master's side now. If I were to abandon the master at this time, even if I died, I would have no face to face Chengwen and the others. My life belongs to the master. Wherever the master goes, I will follow."
Cheng Daren was very annoyed. "How come I never knew you were so stubborn?!"
Chengxian pursed his lips and remained silent.
Shu and Yu didn't expect that this was the reason for their argument, but both of them had their own reasons.
