Chapter 395 Conquering Desire



"There is one more thing I want to discuss with Madam." Fulu said again. Originally, even if Su Wenyue didn't come today, Fulu was planning to go and ask for instructions. After all, it was not easy for him to decide on such matters on his own. Although Madam had given him enough power, he had to live up to Madam's trust and act with reason.

"Uncle Fu, please tell me what you want to say." Su Wenyue asked Uncle Fu

"It's like this. Madam wants to expand the business, so I can't focus all my energy on the department store. I need enough manpower to help, so I want to recruit someone."

Su Wenyue thought that Uncle Fu had specifically asked for her opinion on something, but after hearing what Uncle Fu said, "I have handed over the power to you, Uncle Fu. You decide on this matter yourself. As long as the person is available, I have no objection."

"I thank you for your trust, Madam. If it were any other person, I would have made the decision myself, but this person needs your consent. After all, he has a bad reputation because of some things that happened recently. Many shops are unwilling to hire such a person. Moreover, this person has some relationship with Chen Li, so I came to report to you, Madam, and I dare not make my own decision." Fulu explained the reason for the matter clearly.

"Oh? Who is this person who can make you, Uncle Fu, so troubled and troubled, and is actually related to Chen Li?" Su Wenyue was a little curious. To be valued and recommended by Fulu, this person definitely has ability and talent, and his character should not be too bad. As for his reputation outside, Su Wenyue didn't care so much. But since Fulu said so, she still had to ask clearly. After all, this person was related to Chen Li. This alone made her a little afraid. How could she know if this person was a secret agent sent by Chen Li, deliberately coming to spy on the news.

"I was a little hesitant before, but this man does have some skills. More importantly, he is quite upright and does not harbor evil intentions. Such a person is most suitable to manage a department store." Fulu continued to explain the reason.

Su Wenyue's appetite was completely whetted by Fulu: "Hey, Uncle Fu, don't keep me in suspense. Tell me who it is. You have aroused my curiosity. Chen Li is not a simple woman. Since that person has a relationship with Chen Li, how could he not be won over by Chen Li? Is he willing to come to us?"

Uncle Fu saw Su Wenyue's anxious look, which was also a bit childish, and he smiled kindly. He had watched his wife grow up, and in his heart he loved her like his own child.

"Since Madam has said so, I will not keep you in suspense. Madam actually knows this person. He is Yu Zhengqing, the shopkeeper hired by Chen Li before. Chen Li originally hired him for a large sum of money, probably because she heard of Yu Zhengqing's reputation. But later, Chen Li's shop was suppressed and the business was sluggish, and she lost a lot of money. Chen Li did not believe her failure, but pushed the reason onto Yu Zhengqing, wrongly accusing him. Later, the case was brought to the government, and Yu Zhengqing was proven innocent, but he was unwilling to continue working for Chen Li, and left angrily."

"Is it him?" Su Wenyue was naturally familiar with the name Yu Zhengqing. Although she didn't plan this matter entirely, she also contributed a lot behind the scenes and acted as a pusher behind the scenes. However, Yu Zhengqing was finally proven innocent, so how could he have a bad reputation and even make other shops unwilling to hire him? Su Wenyue was a little puzzled and expressed her doubts.

Fulu was not surprised at all to hear Su Wenyue's words. After all, his wife was younger and simpler, and she had a better understanding of right and wrong. But things in the business world were not so clear-cut. Even if he patiently explained to Su Wenyue, it would also help her gain more knowledge.

"Madam, what you said is correct, but we believe in Yu Zhengqing's innocence because we know the inside story. Others may not think so, especially because the government is somewhat biased towards Chen Li because of General Liu. They did not punish Chen Li because of Yu Zhengqing's accusation, which gave people who are not aware of the situation a false impression. Many people will think that Yu Zhengqing is too cunning and hid the evidence of the crime, so he escaped the punishment of the government by luck. This does not mean that Yu Zhengqing is innocent."

"But this is just speculation. It is more likely that Yu Zhengqing is innocent!" Su Wenyue said somewhat unfairly.

"That's true, but what does it matter? In the eyes of most people, it's better to hire someone with a clean reputation than someone who might be treacherous. Even if he's not capable enough, it's more reassuring. And the incident was caused by the store losing too much money, which is a sign of Yu Zhengqing's incompetence in the eyes of many people."

After Uncle Fu said this, Su Wenyue felt a little uncomfortable. No one could understand better how wronged Yu Zhengqing was. The reason why the shop was losing money was not Yu Zhengqing's fault at all. If it weren't for Yu Zhengqing's painstaking efforts to maintain it, the loss would have been even greater. She was the one who caused all this.

"Since Uncle Fu admires Yu Zhengqing so much, just invite him. I believe in Uncle Fu's vision. The person he likes must be good, with both character and talent worthy of trust." What Su Wenyue lacks most now is talent. Even if Fulu hadn't mentioned it, Su Wenyue had planned to recruit Yu Zhengqing. When Fulu mentioned it, she agreed without hesitation. She not only saved Uncle Fu's face, but also fulfilled her own wish. It was the best of both worlds.

Uncle Fu felt very relieved when he saw Su Wenyue agreed without hesitation. Since his lady trusted him so much, he had to work harder to do things well to live up to her trust.

"Madam, you trust me so much, I will never let you down. Yu Zhengqing will definitely become your good assistant in the future."

"Okay, I'll wait and see."

After talking about Yu Zhengqing, Su Wenyue told Uncle Fu many methods and ideas for doing business, which made Uncle Fu admire her very much. The lady was indeed very creative. With so many ideas, she was more confident that the department store would surely prosper.

---

Chen Li has been very motivated recently. She suffered a lot of losses due to the failure of her previous store. This time she must plan well to make back the losses and regain Liu Xiu's confidence and attention in her.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Chen Li could feel that Liu Xiu's attitude towards her had subtly changed recently. After being together for a long time, he even showed impatience. This was not a good sign.

It's not that Chen Li really likes Liu Xiu. In fact, she prefers the cold and domineering Han Yu. It's just that Han Yu doesn't seem willing to pay attention to her, probably because he has a wife. The more this happens, the more Chen Li feels like she can't stop. It's hard to find such a good man who is so devoted to his wife, not to mention in ancient times, even in modern times where monogamy is practiced, good men are extremely rare. It's a pity that this man is not loyal to her, but it makes her want to conquer him.
