Chapter 418 419. Unexpected
After hearing so many impeccable reasons, Jin Qianqian couldn't bring herself to say no.
"Do you think this will work? As long as they are willing, let them go to Manager Hu, and I will let Manager Hu arrange everything for them.
They have been in my shop for so long, they know exactly what those people do and how they are treated. If they can accept it, I welcome it."
Moreover, she had the best deal in this matter, as the Cao family's children were guarding there, so even if she left Beijing, these shops would be safe.
Li Xiangyun immediately smiled, "Why is this unacceptable? You don't know that the salary of a waiter in your shop is almost as high as that of a sixth-rank official. If it weren't for these guys' good luck, they would still be sitting at home eating free meals."
Jin Qianqian knew that the commission paid last month would be higher. "I have to explain this to you first. It's not fixed. Sometimes it fluctuates. It depends on how good the business is."
"Of course. When I have time, I really want to bring all my young wives here to learn from you. They all manage their own dowries. Your success has made many people jealous, but it's a pity that they just can't learn from you."
There was another round of business compliments and a long chat afterwards, before Mrs. Cao left with a feeling of being unsatisfied.
Jin Qianqian took a deep breath and said to Qinglan beside her with a smile, "This is also a powerful character. He decided the matter while chatting!"
"Well, it's not easy to be the lady of the house." Qinglan nodded affirmatively. She had to face so many things every day, and her account book was not as cute as before.
…
Gu Wenheng had a smooth journey. With official documents in hand, he successfully checked into the post station on the first day.
Jiang Shuiniu and his people were all guards who came from Haicheng, and they were very familiar with the food and accommodation along the way.
Gu Wenheng didn't even have to worry about it, as everything had already been arranged.
The other families were still busy moving their luggage. Gu Wenheng just took a look and took their people into the inn to rest.
He Gaofei and the others were a little stunned. At noon, everyone just ate some dry food because they were in a hurry to get by. At that time, everyone just said hello briefly and started to get busy on their way again.
But now they have stopped to rest. Can Lord Gu just turn a blind eye to how busy these people are?
"Hurry up and move, otherwise it will be dark soon," Wu Yichen pursed his lips and told his guards to speed up, and followed into the post station with his entourage.
The other two looked at each other and followed closely.
When the three of them entered the post station, they found Gu Wenheng already sitting at the dining table, drinking steaming hot tea.
The three of them came to his table one by one as if they had made an appointment.
With three figures blocking his way, Gu Wenheng could only say lightly, "Sit down!"
The three of them moved quickly, without saying a word, and each chose a place to sit down.
"We will have to travel day and night to get some rest. The road ahead will probably not be as smooth as it is here."
"Why don't we take the official road?" He Gaofei didn't think it was tiring to take the official road. In such a cold day, if he put a few more quilts under him, it wouldn't be too bumpy.
Gu Wenheng looked up at him and said, "Official roads are different. This is close to Shangjing, so the official road is naturally flat and wide. As you go further, the journey will be more difficult. You should be mentally prepared."
He knew that these people had obtained their official positions through favoritism and had been living in the capital. If he hadn't led the way, they would probably not be able to tell the directions once they left the capital.
Seeing their nonchalant expressions, Gu Wenheng didn't care much. Seeing them still sitting there, he reminded them, "Although this is a post station, you have to tell the postmaster here if you need anything."
The reason why he can sit here safely now is because Mingfeng has already started to handle the matter.
"Shouldn't the postmaster take the initiative to find us?" Lu Shenggen blurted out, and the two people next to him couldn't stop him.
This idiot doesn't even know what a local tyrant is?
Besides, they were just officials passing by, and even if they wanted to be held accountable, it was not their turn.
In order to live comfortably here and avoid being bullied, most people would not make enemies with the postmaster for no reason.
He Gaofei reacted faster. He immediately stood up and clasped his fists towards Gu Wenheng to express his gratitude. "Thank you, Lord Gu, for reminding us. We will go find the postmaster right away."
Just when they were about to leave, they saw Mingfeng, who was beside Gu Wenheng, walking out with a little old man.
Before he could open his mouth to ask, he saw the other party bowing to Gu Wenheng who was sitting in the main seat, "Master Gu, I am the postmaster here, you can just call me Old Yangtou, your room has been prepared for you, and the water for bathing is also being prepared, you can go and take a look first, if you are not satisfied with the room, I will change it for you."
Gu Wenheng stood up and nodded at him, "Thank you, Yang Yicheng. Just ask someone to take me there. There are several other adults here who need your presence."
After hearing this, Yang Yichen's eyes lit up, and he had a better impression of Gu Wenheng. He thought that this gentleman was understanding and did not block his way to wealth.
"Sir, please go ahead. Wait a moment. I'll ask the kitchen to prepare a good meal for you."
"Thank you." After Gu Wenheng finished speaking, he nodded to the other three people, and then left the hall under the guidance of a clerk.
Looking at Yang Yichen who was smiling at them in an obscene manner, He Gaofei and the others looked at each other and suddenly felt their scalps tingling.
They wanted to stop Gu Wenheng, but this was their first time traveling far away and they had no experience at all, so they asked him to take them with them.
But the other party only left them with a back view and quickly disappeared in front of them.
The next morning, when we met in the lobby, I saw Gu Wenheng again. He looked well rested, and I felt even more resentful.

Jin Qianqian had thought that as she had agreed with Madam Cao yesterday, only half of the Cao family members would come today. However, she did not expect that the housekeeper would report that not a single one would be missing.
Jin Qianqian looked at Hu Dong in surprise. Hu Dong did not dare to hide the fact that he had received news from the Cao family members. Originally, only half of them, or even less, were willing to stay and continue working.
But I didn't expect that Madam Cao would go back yesterday and say, "Sir Cao, please make the decision directly and tell them all to come, otherwise they will be kicked out of the Cao family."
Jin Qianqian, "..."
Hu Dong, "Madam, it may be beneficial to us in the short term, but if it goes on for a long time, I'm afraid people will become uneasy."
Jin Qianqian knew this truth very well, "Just go ahead and make the arrangements first, I need to think about it carefully."
This Lady Cao probably wanted to throw out all these guys who had bankrupted her, but when she saw so many members of the Cao family, she began to tremble in her heart.
