Chapter 444: Handling Writing
The night was getting darker, but the two people in the room showed no intention of ending their conversation. Xu Miaomiao and Gu Yuanniang became more and more excited. They chatted until the second half of the night and then fell asleep on the bed together.
This was also the best sleep Xu Miaomiao had ever had. When she woke up in the morning, she just looked at Gu Yuanniang who was still sleeping beside her, pulled the quilt up for her, and then turned and left. She had a heart-to-heart talk with Gu Yuanniang last night, and when she woke up this morning, her thoughts became even more firm.
One day, she will surprise all those who once looked down on them, Xu Miaomiao thought as she started packing her things. Having this idea was not enough, she also had to work hard for this idea and goal. After packing her things, Xu Miaomiao calculated the time to go to the department store.
Yu Zhen was a little surprised when he saw Xu Miaomiao coming. He thought that after what happened yesterday, Xu Miaomiao needed to rest for two days. But who knew that she came so early in the morning? Xu Miaomiao ignored his surprised look and walked straight into the store. She calmly said to Yu Jie, "Although we can no longer cooperate with the previous store, we still buy these things in our department store, so we still need to find a store to cooperate with. This matter is left to you. You must be very careful and don't let the last incident happen again."
Yu Jie nodded when he heard this. He had also been in business for many years and had some experience in these matters, so he felt more at ease when Xu Miaomiao handed the matter over to him.
Xu Miaomiao then looked at Yu Zhen again, who immediately came over and said, "Madam Xu, what am I responsible for?"
"You are in charge of the store. Your personality is too impetuous and you need to be trained."
If someone had said this to Yu Zhen in the past, he would have been furious and would have fought with that person. But now the person who said this was Xu Miaomiao, so he was speechless, nodded at Xu Miaomiao, and touched his head awkwardly.
"Madam Xu, don't worry, I will cultivate myself well here and will never conflict with anyone."
Hearing this, Xu Miaomiao nodded.
"By the way, Madam Xu, what should we do with the pens and ink in the room? You kept saying that we should put them aside and someone would come to deal with them, but we have been waiting for a long time and still no one has come to deal with them."
Xu Miaomiao did not respond. Instead, she looked at the sky outside and said, "It's almost time. It should be one or two days."
As soon as Xu Miaomiao finished speaking, a man walked in from outside the door. The man was wearing a green shirt, a tall headband, and a folding fan in his hand. For some reason, as soon as the man came in, Xu Miaomiao seemed to smell the scent of ink. The man looked a little nervous and immediately found Xu Miaomiao, holding a pen in his hand.
He said, "Are you the shopkeeper here?"
Hearing this, Xu Miaomiao nodded immediately and made a gesture of invitation to him: "I don't know what happened, sir. Please come with me to the back hall and tell me in detail."
The man was also a man who knew etiquette. He nodded slightly at him and walked towards the back room. As soon as Xu Miaomiao waited for the man to sit down, she immediately handed him a cup of hot tea. Seeing Xu Miaomiao's thoughtful courtesy, the man's frown slowly relaxed and he looked at the man opposite him.
Before he could say anything, Xu Miaomiao immediately spoke up, "Sir, are you here today because you are worried about the pens and ink you bought from our store?"
As soon as Xu Miaomiao opened his mouth, the man opposite him became a little angry, but because of the scholar's face, he calmed down and nodded to him, but his words were still a little fierce when he said, "Boss, I bought some pens and ink from your house before, but who knew that the pens and ink became lighter and lighter. However, I used the same pens and ink for my previous articles. If I change the pens and ink again, the color will be different. I am afraid it will have a great impact on me. So today I came here to ask the shopkeeper to solve it for me."
"The pens and inks used to write articles should indeed be the same, so that the characters written can be fair and beautiful, but our pens and inks are indeed not as good as those good pens."
"How is it possible? Are your pens and inks not suitable for those from the ink shop? I often buy pens and inks from them, so they are very easy to use. Why are the pens and inks you sell here different from theirs? Even the smell is so strong. Without those things, what should I do with my article?"
The man spoke with some excitement.
Xu Miaomiao added a sip of tea to his cup, looked at him and said, "We were also deceived by the owner of that store. We didn't know that the products he sent to our store were all inferior products, while the ones sold in their store were genuine. I just came back a few days ago and learned about this matter, so I immediately cut off ties with their family. It is really difficult for me to make up for the loss caused to this husband. Otherwise, if you believe me, bring the article here and I will retype it for you."
Hearing Xu Miaomiao's words, the man was a little surprised and said, "My article has tens of thousands of words. Are you really willing to rewrite it for me?"
Xu Miaomiao didn't think so and nodded at him: "Although this ink was not developed in my shop, I was deceived by that person and brought this ink here, so I should make up for the loss caused by this gentleman. I am willing to rewrite it for him."
Hearing Xu Miaomiao's words, the man was a little surprised. He was unwilling to copy an article of tens of thousands of words even if he was asked to do it a second time. However, seeing Xu Miaomiao's expression, the man sighed and said, "Forget it, you were deceived. How can I make things difficult for you? I just didn't expect that this ink shop could do such a thing. I must denounce them."
"Who said it wasn't?" Xu Miaomiao said as she stood up sadly, saluted the man in front of her and said, "My husband, you have some status among the great calligraphers. Please help us and clear our name!"
"We are really wronged about this matter."
"Oh? There is such a thing. Then tell me slowly. If you have been wronged, I will definitely take care of it for you."
With just two sentences in the afternoon, Xu Miaomiao made the man in front of her stand on her side.
