Chapter 044 Goodbye Male Lead
Chapter 044 Goodbye Male Lead
"Madam, this is our shop."
Yuchuan pointed to the shops nearby and Su Jin looked at them one by one.
She owned many shops, including a cloth shop, a silk shop, a candied fruit shop, a pastry shop and two restaurants.
Logically speaking, these can all make money, but the original body has no knowledge of business. Not only does he not understand, but he also likes to give orders. He often calls Sun Lan's family over and tells them what goods to import and what business to do. He is simply giving blind orders and pretending to know.
And because she didn't understand and gave blind orders, the shop's business went from bad to worse. If it weren't for Sun Lan's family retaining old customers outside, the shop might have closed down long ago.
All I can say is that Sun Lan worked hard and saved the shop. Otherwise, her shop would not only have no income, but would also lose money.
Su Jin picked a silk shop and went in for a look. The clerk was dozing off behind the counter. There was no customer in the shop, and the silks on display were all outdated. Other silk shops had already started selling this year's new styles.
Su Jin sighed. It was no wonder that no one came. If it were him, he would definitely not come. Even so, it was not easy for Sun Lan's family to retain old customers.
Looking at the candied fruit shop and the snack shop, there were not many people, just enough to maintain a balance in revenue. When Su Jin arrived at the restaurant and just stepped into the door, a figure bumped into him head-on. Su Jin quickly dodged, only to see Xie Huaiguang fall at his feet.
Su Jin: ...
Isn't this the male protagonist? I just saw him at the poetry reading.
The male protagonist at this time is only one or two years older than Gu Zixuan, but he is the male protagonist, his appearance and character are first-class. Even if he is wearing tattered clothes, it cannot conceal his cool and handsome appearance.
"Where did you come from, beggar? If you don't get out of here, I'll beat you until you get out of here!"
The waiter in the restaurant pointed at the male protagonist's nose and cursed him viciously, which made Su Jin's forehead throb.
She began to recall how she ended up as a cannon fodder, and whether she had ever provoked the male and female protagonists. But she must not really become a cannon fodder!
After some thought, it seemed that she had never offended the male and female protagonists. After all, she had too few roles and didn't even have the chance to meet them.
But, it seems that it exists now.
She lowered her head and stared at Xie Huaiguang. The handsome young man struggled to get up from the ground and gritted his teeth and said, "There's water in your wine. Why don't you let people say it?"
"You said you added water? I said you were looking for trouble on purpose. Do you know who owns this restaurant? Madam Yong'an Marquis, before you come looking for trouble, consider your own worth first!"
The guy almost raised his nose to the sky, and Su Jin felt disgusted by his arrogant look.
It's okay to bully others by taking advantage of your power, but what about adding water to the wine?
No wonder she has so many shops but such little income. It turns out that people like you have never done anything good!
"I don't care who you are. You mixed water into the wine. Even if we report it to the authorities, it's still your fault!"
Xie Huaiguang was obviously very confident. He pinched Shuai's painful wrist coldly and whispered, "Let's meet at the government office!"
After saying that, he turned around and left, and Su Jin was so scared that she quickly pulled him back: "Thank you, Mr. Xie, please stay."
What a joke, messing with the male lead? Forget it, isn't it nice to cling to someone's thighs? She's here to lie down, okay?
Xie Huaiguang turned his head and saw a strange woman. He couldn't help but ask, "Do you know me?"
Su Jin laughed: "I am Gu Zixuan's mother."
Gu Zixuan?
They were classmates and knew each other. They rescued the emperor who fell into the water together two days ago. However, isn’t Gu Zixuan’s mother the lady of the Yong’an Marquis’s Mansion and also the owner of this restaurant?
Xie Huaiguang showed a look of vigilance: "Madam, do you also want to use your power to suppress others?"
"Haha, how could that be? Since there is a problem, let's sit down and solve it. There is nothing that cannot be solved!"
Xie Huaiguang stared at her and finally believed it. It was not for any other reason, but because on the day of the poetry reading, this woman argued in front of everyone and not only saved Gu Zixuan's reputation, but also exposed Mu Yanluo's evil deeds to everyone.
Xie Huaiguang believed in Su Jin's character.
"How do you want to solve it?"
Su Jin looked at Xie Huaiguang with a smile.
She remembered what was written in the book, that Xie Huaiguang came from a poor family, but he took first place in the imperial examination that year, becoming the only one to pass the top three exams that year, which caused a sensation across the country.
From then on, the hero's life seemed to be on a roll. Not only did he rise in careers, but later it was discovered that he was the prince who was replaced in the story of the cat replacing the prince. Now, the emperor happily welcomed his son back, made him a prince, and directly assisted in the administration. The hero was indeed very capable, and he settled many things for the emperor, such as the Tusi rebellion in the southwest, the severe drought in northern Shandong, and he also pacified the Japanese pirates and went on diplomatic missions to the Russians. Even the new emperor's reforms in the later period were supported by the hero all the way, and finally there was the Pingjing Reign, and the country was peaceful and the people were safe.
Why would you want to provoke such a capable and promising person? The natural thing is to win him over.
Su Jin said: "It's simple, just open the wine jar and test it right now!"
Xie Huaiguang was a little surprised. The eldest lady of the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion had always had a bad reputation. She was stingy, domineering, jealous, and even hadn't been able to manage the household for twenty years after marrying into the mansion because she didn't know how to handle things. This had almost become a secret known to everyone in the streets and alleys. But now, such an incompetent woman was so responsible as to say that she wanted to open the jar to test the wine?
"good!"
Xie Huiguang nodded: "If there is really something wrong with your wine, what will you do?"
"If there is a problem with the wine, then naturally I will compensate Master Pei first."
Xie Huiguang raised his eyebrows: "First?"
"Yes, so, man, open the jar and test the wine!"
Su Jin turned his head and looked at the waiter. The waiter who had been so arrogant just now was now so scared that his face turned pale and his legs were out of control.
After seeing this, Su Jin still had something to understand. There was really something wrong with that wine.
The waiter didn't move, so Su Jin pushed him aside and opened the wine himself. Yuchuan hurried over to help. A lot of people soon gathered outside the restaurant. After a while, the shopkeeper pushed through the crowd and hurried in.
"What's going on?!"
Shopkeeper Ma asked subconsciously, but when he saw Su Jin looking at him, he was startled and naturally recognized that this was his master.
"Madam!"
He stepped forward tremblingly and saluted.
"Well, take a good look at your wine. Is it still wine?"
The sweat on the head of Shopkeeper Ma's head was dripping down. He knew best whether this was wine and whether there were any mixed substances in it.
In the past, the mistress didn't know how to manage the household. When she came to inspect the restaurant, she would just look around and give instructions on the menu. She would never look at the drinks or the ingredients in the kitchen. That's why he had the guts to try to take some of the money and line his own pocket.
But who would have thought that when the lady came today, she would open the jar and test the wine? !
Shopkeeper Ma shuddered for a moment, but soon thought that the lady was so stupid that she would not be able to tell anything, so he stiffened his neck and planned to continue lying.
"Madam, this is a new type of wine from the west. It tastes like this."
