After Murong Shu and Chu had looked at the shop, they were very satisfied with it and felt very grateful to Chu. She knew that this was definitely not something Chu saw by chance, and it was obvious that Chu had taken great pains to help find it.
Because of Chu's matchmaking, Murong Shu and the owner of the shop got along very well. Murong Shu decided to buy the shop on the spot. The owner was also very generous and offered a very reasonable price.
Because the shop needed to be transferred, Chu directly offered to help, and was very enthusiastic. Murong Shu could not bear to reject her sincerity, so he handed the matter of buying the shop over to her.
So when Madam Wen was dealing with the house matters for Murong Shu, Chu had already bought the shop for Murong Shu.
After making an agreement with the shop owner, Murong Shu and Chu went to the shop that Chu brought as a dowry. When they arrived, Chu Ming and everyone else were already there.
After seeing Murong Shu's greetings, everyone was still a little reserved. In their eyes, Chu Ming was a nobleman, but when they heard Chu Ming say that the person who was about to become their boss was even more noble.
"Everyone, please take a seat. Don't be shy. Since they are introduced by Master Chu, they must be excellent. I believe in Master Chu's character. Let's take a look at the contract. If you have no objection, we will sign it. I have already bought the shop. If possible, you can start work tomorrow."
Murong Shu was planning to renovate the shop, so the sooner they could start work the better. This way, they could decorate the shop first, and then wait for Chu Ming's furniture to be ready before opening the shop, only accepting reservations.
Murong Shu decided to make some samples first and put them in the store, waiting for customers to place orders if they liked them.
In addition to desks and recliners, Murong Shu also wants to make Chinese-style sofas and the like. This first set will be placed in the store, and then the newly purchased Chang Mansion house will be installed, so that it will be just right when the time comes.
In fact, the Chang Mansion’s house was in good repair and could be lived in right away, but Murong Shu felt there was no rush and could add some furniture in.
When they heard that they could start work tomorrow, they were very excited and signed the contract on the spot. They were very grateful to Murong Shu and Chu Ming.
The wages here are high, and they heard that there is also some kind of dividend. They don't quite understand it, but they just know that they have to work hard, and only when the employer does well can they do well.
Murong Shu planned to transfer Ren Chu, the second shopkeeper from Fuqilai, to manage this shop. She believed in the people she trained. Ren Chu had been with Erzhu for so long, and Murong Shu intended to let Erzhu train Ren Chu, so he came in handy now.
After arranging things here, everyone else left. Chu Ming and Chu were still excited. Murong Shu invited them to have dinner together to express his gratitude. "Cousin, is it convenient for Master Chu to have dinner together?"
Chu Ming was a little hesitant. After all, he was a man. If his sister didn't go, it would not be appropriate for him to go alone. If his sister went, there were other things to do in her house.
Seeing her brother looking at her, Chu knew what he was worried about. She smiled and said to the maid beside her, "Go back to the mansion and tell the master that I will eat outside with my sister-in-law today."
Chu was particularly envious of Murong Shu's freedom. Today, she didn't care about anyone else and decided to follow Murong Shu to have some fun.
"Sister, are you sure?" Chu Ming felt that his sister was being impulsive.
"What's with that expression on your face? I just want to accompany Shu'er today." Chu didn't want to care about so many things. She just wanted to be with Murong Shu.
"Don't worry, Mr. Chu. Nothing will happen if you stay out all night. Let's go to Fuqilai. I'll introduce our future shopkeeper to you." Murong Shu's words made Chu feel how correct his decision was tonight.
"Has the Third Madam already chosen the shopkeeper?" Chu Ming didn't expect Murong Shu to be so quick.
"He is Fuqilai's second shopkeeper. He is a capable man. With him in charge, our shop will surely prosper." That's how much Murong Shu believed in his trustee.
Although Chu Ming had not met Ren Chu yet, after hearing what Murong Shu said, he was quite confident about the upcoming shop.
When the few of them arrived at the Fuqilai Hotpot Restaurant, it was just time for dinner and a long line had formed at the door early on. When Chu Ming saw this grand scene, he was a little worried that he would be late.
"I've heard that Fuqilai's business is booming, but I didn't expect it to be so good. Looks like we have to go home late today." Chu Ming spent the whole day studying carpentry in the yard and was unaware of what was happening outside.
Looking at Chu Ming's expression, Murong Shu wanted to laugh. It seemed that he was really like his second sister-in-law said, he didn't like to leave the yard and concentrated on studying his own interests.
"Mr. Chu, if you follow my young lady, there's no need to queue!" Xiao Tao said with a smile. She felt that Mr. Chu was very honest.
Xiao Tao's words confused Chu Ming. Before he could figure out what was going on, he saw the owner of the store coming out and walking towards them happily.
"Miss, why don't you come in now that you are here? It's not safe with so many people here." Erzhu was afraid that something might happen to his young lady, so he quickly invited a few people in.
It was not until he sat in Murong Shu's private room that Chu Ming finally reacted and asked uncertainly, "Is the Third Madam the owner of Fuqilai?"
"Of course. Otherwise, how do you think we can come in without queuing? You stay in your yard all day, how would you know these things?" Chu said to her brother with a smile.
"I opened this store for fun with a few friends. This is the owner of this store. I'll introduce you to the other owner later." Murong Shu first introduced Erzhu to Chu Ming.
"When you go downstairs, call Ren Chu up to eat hotpot with us. I have something to discuss with him." Murong Shu asked Erzhu to call Ren Chu upstairs when he went downstairs.
As it was lunchtime, Erzhu didn't waste any time. After greeting a few people, he went downstairs to inform Ren Chu.
Ren Chu was very surprised when he received the news. He felt that he had been working very hard and had performed very well recently, but his boss suddenly asked him whether he wanted to be fired.
Ren Chu entered the private room with a nervous mood. The people who came in with Ren Chu were also very worried. Ren Chu was their backbone. If Ren Chu was driven away, then how would they survive?
"Ren Chu, come in and sit down. I'll introduce my friends to you." Hearing Murong Shu's tone, Ren Chu finally felt relieved.
"Boss, if you have something to say, just send someone to call me. Why did you come here in person? You are not feeling well now." Ren Chu was really worried that Murong Shu was still running around so late at night while pregnant.
"Your boss is very nice. This is my eldest cousin's wife, and this is his younger brother." Murong Shu introduced Chu and Chu Ming to Ren Chu.
After the few people greeted each other, Ren Chu sat down next to Chu Ming. Murong Shu was afraid that everyone would feel embarrassed today, so he ordered a separate small pot for convenience.
Murong Shu has been craving for hotpot ever since she became pregnant. Now that she has finally got the chance today, she wants to have a delicious meal.
So when Wen Jing and his eldest cousin arrived, they saw a few people eating with great relish.
