"Wan, I heard that the businesses you manage aren't doing very well?"
While eating, Madam Pei asked Jiang Shuwan a question.
These shops were for Jiang Shuwan to practice in.
If Jiang Shuwan manages things well, she can be given more power.
"Yes, there's really no improvement."
Jiang Shuwan answered the questions while sitting down to eat.
She had given those shopkeepers half a month to produce results and increase the shop's revenue.
All the shopkeepers felt that she, an amateur, was giving advice to professionals.
They didn't take her words seriously at all.
Now that the half-month period has passed, their store's business is still the same as before.
Jiang Shuwan gave them a warning.
That's always been how she acts.
One warning, two fines, three demotions.
I don't know if they listened to me.
Anyway, she had already warned them.
Wait another half month. If you haven't achieved results by then, don't blame her for being ruthless.
Why did Madam Pei suddenly bring this up? Could it be that these shopkeepers came to her to complain?
Otherwise, Madam Pei wouldn't have said these things.
"Grandma, do you have any instructions?"
"No."
Madam Pei shook her head.
These shops were given to Jiang Shuwan by her.
She wanted to see Jiang Shuwan's skills and abilities.
We certainly can't give orders or interfere arbitrarily.
However, she still gave Jiang Shuwan a deadline.
Leaving aside the previous two weeks, Jiang Shuwan needs to make some progress in these shops over the next month.
Otherwise, it would be difficult for Jiang Shuwan to gain the support of the people, let alone give her more power.
"Okay, ma'am, I will definitely make a difference."
She will not only achieve results.
These shopkeepers even have to call her "Dad".
"That's good."
Seeing her full of confidence, Old Madam Pei had nothing more to say.
The old man ate a bowl of coarse grain rice and was about to drink the soup when he suddenly saw the girl's bright eyes.
"?"
Her eyes shone like two lamps in the night.
For some reason, Madam Pei suddenly felt a tightness in her scalp and had a bad feeling.
This feeling was unfamiliar to Madam Pei.
Jiang Shuwan's former boss knew that her eyes would light up whenever Jiang Shuwan was about to make some outrageous request.
It made the viewer's heart pound.
"Is there something you need?" Old Madam Pei's eating pace slowed down without her realizing it.
"Grandma, your granddaughter-in-law is short of money lately, could you lend me some?" She asked rather tactfully.
"??"
Borrow money?
Madam Pei was a little confused. She had never heard of a granddaughter-in-law who had just married into the family asking her grandmother for money.
Moreover, Jiang Shuwan should not be short of money.
Chang's mother, who was serving her, thought the same thing.
Jiang Shuwan is a generous spender.
He was a well-known wealthy master in the Marquis's mansion.
She was in the room when they checked the Wen family's accounts last time, and she overheard the managers talking about it.
It is said that Jiang Shuwan's own shop is doing very well.
So how could there be a shortage of money?
Moreover, Jiang Shuwan really doesn't have any social engagements, and she rarely goes out, staying at home all day.
Her biggest daily expense is food and drink.
The key point is that she, as a young mistress, doesn't spend a single penny of her allowance.
The monthly wages of the maids in her courtyard were also paid by the household.
Other expenses included tipping the maids and servants, and giving the schoolteacher in her courtyard a monthly allowance.
How much would these cost?
Her shop made so much money again.
No one is short of money, not Jiang Shuwan!
Chang's mother looked at Jiang Shuwan with a puzzled expression.
Madam Pei thought so too, but Jiang Shuwan's face showed no sign of joking.
so.
Is she really going to borrow money?
Madam Pei put down her chopsticks, paused for a moment, and then spoke.
How much do you want to borrow?
"One hundred thousand taels."
"How many!"
"One hundred thousand!"
Old Madam Pei nearly knocked over the bowl in her hand.
"One hundred thousand?"
Not a thousand.
It's not ten thousand.
It's 100,000.
Whose young wife would ask to borrow 100,000 taels of silver from someone the moment she opens her mouth?
Currently, their Marquis's mansion's annual income is only around 100,000 taels.
Jiang Shuwan immediately launched into a long list of the Marquis's family's annual income.
"One hundred thousand?"
Mother Chang was also shocked and cried out in alarm.
"Young mistress, do you want to borrow 100,000 taels of silver?"
Chang's mother thought Jiang Shuwan had gone mad.
100,000 taels of silver.
Don't underestimate Jiang Shuwan just because she's a granddaughter-in-law.
Even a granddaughter wouldn't dare to ask for such a large sum.
God!
That's 100,000 taels.
During the twenty years that Lady Wen managed the Marquis's mansion, she was extremely stingy and embezzled, managing to amass a total of 100,000 taels of silver.
She immediately asked for the money she had embezzled over twenty years from the Wen family.
That's outrageous!
That's asking for too much.
One thousand taels, ten thousand taels, it's all negotiable.
One hundred thousand?
The young mistress is truly extraordinary; she actually dared to speak up.
Jiang Shuwan's boldness opened the eyes of Chang's mother.
real.
She used to think that Jiang Shuwan was witty, intelligent, polite, and eloquent.
Whether the Wen family set a trap for her or deliberately targeted her.
She was able to resolve everything perfectly, and even made the Wen family suffer.
Madam Chang was an elderly woman who had lived for fifty or sixty years. She felt that she understood Jiang Shuwan, the young mistress, quite well.
Hey!
At this point, she realized that it was all a jumbled mess.
She doesn't understand Jiang Shuwan at all!
real.
Having left the palace and lived for so many years, she has seen all sorts of people.
