However, although she is more interested in Han Yu, Chen Li is a rational and ambitious woman. In history, it was Liu Xiu who finally ascended the throne, so her ultimate goal is still Liu Xiu. Han Yu can be said to be a kind of adjustment, or a spare tire left behind. If Liu Xiu really can't satisfy her, then she will retreat and choose the second best. Another point is that Chen Li feels that the history of this era has changed a bit, and many things are different from what she knows, such as Han Yu, so she is not very sure that Liu Xiu will eventually reach that position, so she should naturally leave a backup plan. Han Yu has skills and talents, and is also a powerful figure. It will definitely not be wrong to win him over.

Chen Li had made all the best plans, and her previous life had gone according to her expectations. However, with Su Wenyue's rebirth in this life, and the two of them being in hostile positions, it was destined that things would not be so smooth.

"Boss, a store is going to open in the center of the street not far from us. It seems to be a department store, just like ours. And that store has an advantage over us in terms of location and size. Should we go over there to get some information first, so as not to be caught off guard?" Li Ming said with some concern.

Li Ming is the new shopkeeper hired by Chen Li. He is quite capable and has built up a good reputation, so Chen Li hired him with a high salary. However, although Li Ming is much more worldly-wise than Yu Zhengqing, he is a bit timid and selfish. His active performance this time is not because he is loyal, but he just wants to show off in front of Chen Li, so that Chen Li can trust him more and give him more power.

Since Chen Li had the last experience, although Yu Zhengqing did not betray her, she still remembered this incident in her heart. Even if Yu Zhengqing did not betray her, who knows if she will meet such a person in the future. She decided to strictly control her subordinates. She thought of many ways and finally decided to divide the rights of the store into several parts and supervise each other. Therefore, even as the shopkeeper, he did not have the final say and was subject to many restrictions. This was not a bad idea. Of course, there were also disadvantages. In order to gain the trust of the master, the subordinates intrigued and competed for performance, which inevitably caused some trouble. Although it was not very obvious at present, some hatred was often accumulated day by day and eventually broke out.

Chen Li frowned when she heard what Li Ming said. She was a little nervous at first, but after thinking about it, she was relieved. Her idea came from modern times. Even if the idea of ​​opening a shop was somewhat similar, it was impossible for them to have such a novel idea as hers. It was just an ordinary shop, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

It has to be said that Chen Li is full of self-confidence. However, although she has figured it out, Chen Li is still a little unhappy. It is obvious that Li Ming's words are meant to boost others' morale and undermine his own prestige. Saying such discouraging words before the store even opens is not a good sign at all.

"So what if there is a similar shop? It's just an ordinary shop, but its location and area are better than ours. We are not bad either. The most important thing is that our shop is unique. Many things cannot be bought outside. They are all specially made by me. With this point, we can be invincible. Forget it this time, don't say such discouraging words in the future. Since you work under me, you must know what to do and what not to do!"

Chen Li scolded, and she felt very comfortable in her heart. In the past, in modern times, although she had become a manager, she was still working for others. She had obviously worked very hard, but was still scolded by her boss for trivial matters. Now that she has turned the tables and become the master, she can finally experience such a feeling. Moreover, her ambition is not limited to this. In the future, she will have a higher level of salvation, and even sit in the position above everyone else.

Li Ming felt that the boss was too confident. In order to show his ability, he sent people to the shop to inquire. Although he failed to bribe the people inside to know the specific situation, he did find out some information. He wanted to persuade him, but seeing the boss's attitude, it would be thankless even if he said it. It might even make the boss unhappy. At that time, he would not be treated differently by the boss, but would be laughed at by others. So he suppressed his worries. Anyway, he would take it one step at a time. When the business of the shop is not good, he will talk about it. With this skill, he will not worry about not finding a new boss. This boss is sometimes too harsh.

Li Ming had made up his mind and was no longer worried. He put on a flattering smile. He had figured it out. No one knew what would happen in the future, so the important thing was to reap the benefits now.

"Yes, what you said is true. I have heard of your ability a long time ago. I was just too worried because I wanted to do my job well. With your ability, how could you take a shop like that seriously? I lost my sense of propriety for a moment. I hope you can forgive me. I will work harder in the future and will never let you down."

Li Ming said with a flattering smile, looking very servile and fawning. If it were Su Wenyue, she would definitely be disdainful. Such people usually have bad character. However, Chen Li enjoyed Li Ming's flattery. Little did she know that it was her attitude that made Li Ming understand his boss's temperament and determine his future code of conduct. It is difficult to do good things, but it is not easy to say nice things? Who can become a shopkeeper is not eloquent and good at speaking.

Su Wenyue finished touring the shop and was about to go back when she saw Han Yu coming with his men. Su Wenyue felt a little happy but also a little helpless. It was a good thing that her man cared so much about her, but seeing Han Yu's obviously worried expression, she felt a little restrained being controlled by the man.

"Don't you have something to do today? Why are you here?" Su Wenyue walked towards Han Yu and automatically put her hand in Han Yu's.

Han Yu was very satisfied with his wife's self-awareness. He took her hand and rubbed Su Wenyue's forehead with his other hand: "I have finished all the things for today. Besides, no matter how important the things are, they are not as important as my wife. So I will come to pick you up as soon as I finish the things. How about it? Are you satisfied with the decoration of the shop? Is there anything I can help you with?"

"That's great. Uncle Fu is more capable than I thought. The decoration effect drawings he drew are much better. I may not be able to do it so well even if I do it myself. It's a good thing that you are here. Do you want to come in and see the results of my hard work over the past few days?" Su Wenyue looked at Han Yu with shining eyes. She was obviously looking forward to it. She also wanted to show her skills to her man, get Han Yu's recognition, and let Han Yu know that she is not only a good wife, but also has her own way in business.

Seeing that his wife wanted his recognition and affirmation, Han Yu's heart softened and his face showed pampering and indulgence.
