Chapter 858 You solve your own problems!
Shu Yu raised an eyebrow. "Really? Sorry, I didn't tell you in advance when I came back. I scared you."
The shopkeeper: "..."
He had no way to respond to that.
But Shu Yu didn't need him to answer. She just pointed to Lu Daniu behind her and said, "But I didn't expect you to give me a scare too. This is the manager of our clothing store. I think you know him. He came to pick up goods today, but it didn't seem to go smoothly."
The shopkeeper knew he had come to settle accounts and was considering Shu Yu's current situation.
There were rumors a while ago that she had committed a crime and was exiled to the southwest. He didn't believe it at first. If she had really been exiled, why would Magistrate Xiang still take care of the clothing shop?
But the rumors were quite detailed, and when people asked the Lu family, they vehemently denied them. However, the shopkeeper was shrewd and was present at the time, so he clearly saw the guilty conscience in their eyes.
He believed that Lu Shuyu had indeed been exiled.
It's truly unexpected that even after being exiled, Master Lu is still being protected by Lord Xiang.
He couldn't help but speculate about the relationship between Lu Shuyu and Xiang Weinan. They were a couple of marriageable age, so it was probably just something that couldn't be done in public.
The shopkeeper looked down on Shu Yu. Although he didn't dare to do anything to harm the clothing shop, surely Lord Xiang wouldn't interfere with such a trivial matter as making things difficult for Lu Daniu?
I never expected that Lu Shuyu would actually come back.
The shopkeeper figured this was probably through connections with the adults who brought the person back from the southwest.
The shopkeeper no longer valued her as much as before. He could still maintain a smile when he saw her, but his face fell after hearing her question.
"Master Lu, you have to understand. Our shop is the largest cloth store in the entire Jiangyuan County. There are just too many customers coming and going to pick up goods. So it's normal that we occasionally run out of trucks to transport goods. If we all understand each other, then the business can last, right?"
Shu Yu chuckled, "You're wrong. If you want to maintain a long-term business relationship, you have to follow the contract clearly. Even close brothers keep clear accounts, so naturally we need to clarify things as well. When we signed the contract, there was a clause that you were responsible for delivering the goods to our door, right?"
The shopkeeper chuckled, "That's true, but we really don't have any carts left."
This might fool Da Niu, but Shu Yu couldn't help but sneer, "That's your problem. You don't have a car, so whether you rent one or buy one, it's your responsibility to solve it. Why push the problem onto the customer? Is this how you do business? You make the customer solve the problem themselves when there's a problem? What's the use of you then? Are you all useless?"
The shopkeeper's face darkened. Fortunately, there weren't many people in the shop at the moment, otherwise, if someone had heard them, their reputation would have been ruined.
He took a deep breath. "What Master Lu said makes sense. I've learned my lesson. I'll arrange for someone to rent a car and personally deliver the goods to your residence."
As he spoke, he was about to call out to the waiter beside him, "Why aren't you going to make the arrangements?"
Shu Yu raised her hand, "It's too late."
The shopkeeper frowned. "What do you mean?"
Shu Yu smiled amicably, "This piece of fabric was originally intended for an urgent need. We have a customer who urgently needs a garment and offered a high price, so he asked us to finish it and deliver it by early afternoon today. Manager Lu from our shop should be here this afternoon."
