Chapter 379 There is a problem with the department store
"Okay." Xu Miaomiao patted Gu Yuanniang's hand to comfort her, and said, "After all, we were indeed demoted back. We can't blame them for having such thoughts. Everyone is for themselves. Why do this? As long as we live our own lives in the future, it will be fine."
Gu Yuan's mother, after hearing what you said, nodded to Xu Miaomiao and responded to her, "Yes, many things are not going well for us now, and the shop in the capital is not going well. We should just live our own lives and not worry about them." After that, they smiled at each other.
Just two days after these ordinary days passed, Xu Miaomiao decided to go to the department store in the county. As soon as she arrived at the department store, she saw that the street, which was originally crowded with people, had become less crowded.
As soon as Xu Miaomiao entered, she asked the shopkeeper, "What's going on? Why are there fewer people coming in these few days?"
The shopkeeper looked at Xu Miaomiao with disdain, glared at her, and said, "Who do you think you are? How dare you ask about our family's affairs?"
When Xu Miaomiao heard this, she remained silent.
She fell to the ground without revealing her identity. She had hired a shopkeeper here before, who was loyal and reliable. However, the person who came today was not that person. This person was shouting and yelling here, so Xu Miaomiao stepped forward and asked.
Seeing that Xu Miaomiao didn't say anything, the shopkeeper immediately turned around, waved his hand and said, "If you are here to buy something, then hurry up, if not, get out of here, we don't accept any idle people here."
"Is this how you treat your guests?"
"What does it have to do with you?" The man glanced at Xu Miaomiao and said, "Who do you think you are? How dare you interfere in our family's affairs? Let me tell you, our shopkeeper is a high-ranking official in the capital. If you dare to be rude to us, be careful that he will come back and punish you. Our department store also has a branch in the capital."
"From what this gentleman said, could it be that you own this department store?"
As soon as Xu Miaomiao finished speaking, the man became flustered and stunned for a moment. He glared at her with a strong and righteous look and continued, "No, but it's opened by my relatives. I'm here to take care of these things for them. You should be more respectful to me. If you want to go to the capital to do something important in the future, I'll have to say hello to them and ask them to take care of you and help you."
Xu Miaomiao was so angry at these words that she smiled. She glared at him but didn't say anything. Instead, she sat down on a chair beside her, picked up the teacup in front of her, took a sip, and said, "Where's Wei Fu? Ask Wei Fu to come see me."
Xu Miaomiao spoke coldly.
The Wei Fu she mentioned was the new shopkeeper she had hired here. However, she did not see him this time, but saw this man instead. Although this man was somewhat similar to Wei Fu, there were still differences between them. Wei Fu exuded an honest and loyal look from head to toe, while this man's eyes revealed cunning and hypocrisy that was hard to ignore.
When the man heard what Xu Miaomiao said, he got angry and kept urging Xu Miaomiao, saying, "Who do you think you are? I'll say it again, if you're not here to buy things, get out of here right now. Otherwise, when my master comes back, be careful that he'll punish you."
The little sister was a little disdainful when she heard this, and said to him: "I want to see how he can deal with me?"
"Okay, I see you're really adamant." The man said as he waved his hand, and the two servants next to him immediately came up with sticks.
Xu Miaomiao looked calm, and slowly stood up, looking at them and said, "What? Are you still going to kick me out?"
"So what?" The man said as he waved his hand and two little guys immediately stepped forward with big sticks, pointing them at Xu Miaomiao, trying to drive her out.
Xu Miaomiao's expression changed from calm to cold. With some impatience, she looked at the man in front of her and said, "Let me ask you one more question: where is Wei Fu?"
"Who do you think you are? You dare to ask about my brother's whereabouts? Get her out of here right away."
Xiao Si pushed Xu Miaomiao.
Xu Miaomiao turned her back and didn't say anything. Instead, she walked out directly, looked at him and said, "I will walk by myself. Don't touch me."
Xu Miaomiao had already left, and the man walked out of the door with disdain, pouted at the door, and continued, "Who do you think you are? How dare you put on airs in our department store? If you can't afford to spend money here in the future, don't be so pretentious and insist on coming in to take a look. You can't afford it, so just look at the price."
Xu Miaomiao looked at the man without saying a word. She wanted to go and see what was going on.
Xu Miaomiao waved her hand, and the servant beside her immediately pulled the carriage back. This matter still could not be vindicated. After all, it was her fault in the department store. If anything happened, the responsibility would be on them.
Xu Miaomiao thought for a while. The last time she came back, she also inspected the department store. At that time, there were still people coming and going, but today was very different. Moreover, she just looked at the prices in the department store and found that they were three times more expensive than those in the capital. She did not tell the people in Bai County about the price increase. The inexplicably higher prices must be the work of the store clerk.
Xu Miaomiao thought for a while and drove the carriage to the Bai family. The Bai family was the mother and daughter selling cakes that she met at that time. There were no males in the family, so the cakes in the department store had always been made and supplied by them.
Xu Miaomiao also gave them the production method, so as to ensure the supply of pastries in the department store. After thinking about it, Xu Miaomiao drove the carriage over.
As soon as we arrived at the Bai family's courtyard, we found that it was no longer as desolate as before. We could also see that the family's life had become a little better. There were even a few roosters walking around in the yard, screaming constantly.
Xu Miaomiao walked in and saw a woman embroidering flowers, while an old woman was kneading dough nearby. When she saw someone coming, the woman rubbed her eyes, raised her head and saw Xu Miaomiao, with a look of surprise in her eyes. She immediately put down the things in her hands, stood up, walked towards Xu Men, and said, "Madam Xu, why are you back? I haven't seen you since we last met, and I want to thank you very much. If it weren't for you, my mother and I wouldn't have lived such a good life."
