Chapter 253 Fighting
Chapter 254 Fighting
Five younger siblings?
The second son-in-law was a little puzzled. He had met his fifth brother and his wife when the family returned and the family held a ceremony to add them to the family tree.
Judging from their faces, the couple are both kind and honest people. After getting to know them, she found that her fifth brother is shy and honest, and not a very smart person. Although her fifth brother's wife knew at first sight that this man was a bit shrewd, fortunately he was very straightforward in speaking and doing things, and did not seem like someone who would bully others.
"Yufen, stop making trouble. I have seen my fifth brother and his wife with my own eyes. They are not like what you said! Besides, you are their second sister-in-law. They just came home. No matter how bold you are, you dare not bully others at this time! You must be overthinking! Besides, in our family, who dares to make things difficult for you? I will burn incense if you don't cause trouble for others..."
Qin Er took off his coat and unbuttoned his clothes as he walked into the house.
The nanny came out and took his briefcase and handed him a cup of tea. "Sir, you are back. Are you ready for dinner?"
Qin Er nodded, and the nanny smiled. She glanced at Chang Yufen behind her, nodded, and then went back, instructing the kitchen to prepare the meal.
Chang behind him seemed to be very afraid of the nanny. When she saw her come out, she immediately maintained her elegance. However, her face changed immediately after the nanny left. She chased after her husband and questioned him in a low voice.
"Qin Lao Er! What do you mean? What do you mean I'm looking for trouble with others? Is this the kind of person I am, Chang Yufen, in your eyes?"
Seeing that his wife was about to start throwing a tantrum, Qin Er immediately smiled and coaxed his wife to sit on the sofa.
"Oh, who dares to say that to you? I was just joking. You are so gentle, cute and considerate, how could you possibly bully others?"
But Chang Yufen felt very hurt. "Humph! You just say that, but I don't know how you think of me! You're not at home every day, how would you know what's going on at home?"
Qin Er knew that his joke had made his wife angry, so he quickly apologized in a low voice, "Yes, yes, it's my fault. So tell me, what happened?"
Only then did Chang Yufen pout and complain with a look of grievance.
"That Liu Chunxia sat with me today, and I kindly reminded her of the things she should pay attention to at home, but she mocked me for my low education. She also showed off their holiday villa, and implicitly disliked me for not having a job and being a freeloader! I have been married for so many years and have done so much for the family, but now I am being mocked like this by others. Do you think I can not be angry..."
Seeing Chang Yufen crying in grievance, Qin Laoer was immediately confused. Although he was very impatient to coax women, he couldn't bear to see his wife cry, so he quickly raised his hand to wipe her tears and comforted her in a low voice.
"Oh, look at you. I just said two sentences and you said 10 or 8 sentences to me. OK, OK, I was wrong. I was not careful enough and didn't even know that you were wronged. I apologize to you, don't cry... Well, how about this! If you really want to do something on your own, I will give you a job. I have a few relatively stable small shops, and I don't have time to manage them, so you can try your hand at them."
Hearing her husband say this, Chang Yufen immediately burst into laughter and hugged her husband's arm and acted coquettishly.
"That's more like it. I knew you wouldn't watch me get bullied. Don't worry, leave this to me. I will do my best and will never embarrass you."
Qin Er finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she had stopped making a fuss.
"You don't have to work too hard. This is just to help you pass the time. This store has been running for several years. Every aspect is managed by someone. It's very mature. You can just go over there and go through the motions. You don't have to worry about anything. However, there are many things you don't understand. Try not to get involved in the operation to avoid getting into trouble..."
Qin Er was afraid that she would do something wrong, so he told her many things. But Chang Yufen's mind was full of thoughts about how she could use this small shop to make a comeback and humiliate Liu Chunxia. She didn't take her husband's words to heart at all.
"Oh, that's enough, I know, I won't cause you any trouble!"
But if Qin Laoer knew what happened later, he would definitely regret his behavior at this time.
The small shop that Qin Er gave to Chang Yufen is a small chain of dried fruit snack shops.
In the capital, people like to buy some dried fruit snacks and keep them at home during festivals. Whether they are for their own consumption or as gifts to others, they are always presentable.
At that time, Qin Er heard from a friend that investing in this type of store would be more stable, so he opened a few chain stores based on the recommendation of others.
Because he was usually busy, he had always asked others to take care of it. Now that he has handed it over to his wife, he can finally focus on his work.
But he didn't expect that just a small dry pot shop almost caused him such a huge trouble.
Since taking over these small dried fruit shops, Chang Yufen has been checking the shops with great interest every day.
After inspecting for a few days, Chang Yufen felt that she had completely mastered the business operations of the store, so she called several store managers and said she wanted to check the store's accounts.
The store manager knew that the woman in front of him was their boss's wife, so he didn't dare to disobey her and handed over the bill honestly.
But Chang Yufen was very dissatisfied when she saw the unit price of dried fruits in the store.
"Why are these snacks so cheap? The things in our store are all high-quality. How can we make a profit with such a low price? Who sets the price for you?"
The store manager understood that these were the first three things a new official would do upon taking office, so he explained it to her patiently.
"Boss, this price is not set by us. It is determined according to the regulations of the Price Bureau, combined with the actual production cost of our products and the average price in the market. Moreover, we have been selling it for many years, so there will be no problem with this price."
Chen Yufen's eyes widened. "Of course I know all this. Do I need you to explain it to me? I'm asking you, prices are rising so fast, but the prices of these dim sum are still so low! Haven't you store managers ever thought of a solution? Are you going to be satisfied only if our store goes bankrupt?"
Several store managers looked at each other.
It's true that prices have gone up recently, but they had already raised the prices of some items before this boss took over.
Even this has caused the store's sales to decline, and several store managers are still discussing how to expand sales!
Why does it sound like the new boss thinks the price is too low?
"Boss, let me tell you this. We have already adjusted the prices before you came. Our customers are mainly low- and middle-income groups. If the prices are too high, it will affect sales. People also need time to adapt to our new prices. So, if you think the prices are unreasonable, we can readjust them after a while..."
"Why are you slowing down? Prices are so high right now, and you guys don't raise prices quickly. Do you want our store to lose money? That's enough! Stop talking! Increase the prices of all products by 10%. Also, if the sales this month don't reach 1 million, you store managers will be fired!"
