As soon as Chen Li arrived at the door, she found a little maid with her hands on her hips arguing with the waiter in the store, attracting a lot of onlookers.
"Wait a minute, I remember what you said. You said five days later, but today is only the fourth day. Did you remember it wrong?"
The maid Xiaolian immediately raised her eyebrows and pointed at the person in front of her, "You're talking nonsense. I clearly told you to call your shopkeeper out in four days."
When she said this, Yang Gui had already heard the noise and came out.
"Miss, if you have any questions, let's talk inside."
Xiaolian looked arrogant and said, "Go in and tell me. It's all nonsense, whether it's white or black. You are the only ones who are smart, right?"
Chen Li stood in the crowd, her eyebrows slightly raised. Was this intentional trouble-making?
The waiter at the side quickly told Yang Gui the situation. Yang Gui still had a kind face, but his eyes became a little sharp.
"Girl, are you sure you said four days and not five?"
"Of course, I'm not that forgetful yet. Since you're the shopkeeper, tell me what we should do about this matter today."
Yang Gui had asked the waiter to get the record book. Since the business of the store started to pick up, the amount sold every day and to whom it was sold were recorded in the book. There was also a separate booklet to record orders, to prevent people from making trouble.
"Look at the girl's attire, you can tell she's educated."
If she heard him change the subject to please her, the corners of her mouth would curl up slightly, "Of course, I have been learning calligraphy from my young lady for several years!"
"That's good."
The maid Xiaolian frowned, "What do you mean? Don't talk about other things. How do we solve this problem?"
The young lady is still waiting at home, so we can't mess this up.
Yang Gui took the record book from the waiter and said, "Since you can read, it will be easy. This is the record book for our store's dim sum orders. You came here four days ago, and several families also ordered dim sum that day. Let's check them one by one."
Xiaolian panicked for a moment, but quickly thought of a solution. "This thing is in your hands, so naturally, whatever you say is what counts."
Yang Gui was not panicked. "Since the young lady is suspicious, let's ask a calligraphy master to come back and have him see if this was written a few days ago."
As he spoke, he exposed the page to everyone's sight. Those with good vision could clearly see the signature and seal on it, and the crowd immediately started talking.
"I remember the dress she was wearing. My uncle's second aunt's sister-in-law's granddaughter also wore the same dress. They said it was from the He Mansion!"
"What house is that?"
"You can also have that. Look at the fabric of this dress. Even a little maid like her can wear it so well."
"Oh, that's who it is!"
…
Listening to the discussion in the crowd, Xiaolian's face turned pale. She was indeed wrong in this matter. It was indeed said that day that it would be returned in five days, but this could not be possible. The lady had to get it today. If this went wrong, she didn't dare to think about what her fate would be.
"Let me see."
She hurriedly took it and looked at it. There was indeed no loophole to exploit, but...
"Shopkeeper, I'll just pretend I was mistaken, but the family is in need of some snacks right now. How many do you have left in your shop?"
Having said that, she did not stay outside the door and hurried into the store. When she passed by the waiter, she stuffed the record book into his arms.
"Everyone come in and sit down!"
The waiter was shouting outside the door and didn't chase anyone away. After just a few words, most of the people at the door had left.
"Let's go, there's nothing exciting to see. If I go in and count the money, half a pound of silver is gone. Let's go home!"
The people at the door had almost dispersed when the waiter saw Chen Li and said, "Boss, you're back!"
"Well, you did a good job just now."
When the waiter heard her praise, he grinned with joy and went to the kitchen to get some snacks and hot water for Chen Li.
Not long after, Yang Gui sold a batch of high-end dim sum in the store to Xiaolian and helped her deliver it to He's house, successfully resolving the matter.
As soon as he sent the person out, he went up to the third floor to see Chen Li, "Boss."
"Come on, sit down."
As soon as Yang Gui sat down, he heard Chen Li say, "You did a good job."
Being praised, Yang Gui's expression became a little happy, but he still remained calm and composed, "Boss, I've encountered these kinds of things many times. It's not a big deal."
"Nothing's happened in the store lately, right?"
"No, the store is operating normally."
"Well, go ahead. You've worked hard this month. When the monthly salary is distributed at the end of the month, I'll give you five taels of silver as a reward, and everyone else in the store will get one tael of silver each."
"Thank you, Boss!"
The boss is a kind person. Not only is he generous, but he also treats them well on a daily basis. He always gives them gifts during the Chinese New Year and other festivals. Where can you find such a good boss?
The two talked for a few more words before Yang Gui left. In the afternoon, He Xinyan came to the store with a few girls. Chen Li was just about to go back when she saw her meaningful look.
What? Are you here to cause trouble?
Thinking of this, he turned around and decided to stay in the store for a while longer to avoid any mistakes.
Not long after, someone was heard saying that Su Zhihui had arrived and went to He Xinyan's private room.
His brows raised slightly. Is this a coincidence, or?
"Go and ask Miss Su to come up later."
"Yes, Boss."
Thinking about something, he walked to the window. As soon as he opened the window, a breeze blew towards him, soothing his inner irritability. As soon as he glanced down, his brows immediately frowned, and his mental power moved.
If she saw it right just now, that person was Shen Jiaojiao!
His mental power shuttled through the crowd and soon caught up with the familiar figure. It was indeed Shen Jiaojiao.
How come she is here?
Compared to before, the weak and artificial look on her body has disappeared, replaced by a coquettish look.
The clothes he wore were normal, and the expression on his face was normal, but his once innocent eyes were gone, now filled with temptation.
Chen Li's spiritual power followed silently and found that she went to the dock and boarded a gorgeous ship, and there were many girls of the same age as her on the ship.
Chen Li is no stranger to these boats, which drift around Suzhou, Qingxi County, and even the entire Jiangnan region all year round. They are famous flower boats.
This surprised her a little. How come you are the heroine, but you have ended up like this?
Also, what about the other members of the Shen family?
Old Madam Shen protected Shen Jiaojiao like she was protecting her own eyeball, so how could she bear to let her do such a thing?
No, there is another possibility. Unless she is dead or most of Shen’s family members are dead, she will not fall to this point.
What about the male lead?
Now that the heroine has ended up in this situation, what about the hero Jiang Huaichuan?
Can he still live the life the author has prepared for him?
