Chapter 104 She is no longer merciful
"According to your instructions, I have successively acquired more than ten shops, and each shop is near Mr. Xie's shop. Now they have been renovated and can be opened at any time."
Murong Yan took out a stack of property deeds from his sleeve and handed them to Xie Zhuoning.
Not only that, he also secretly spent a lot of time contacting multiple partners to ensure that his shop could get the best quality and most suitable price.
Xie Zhuoning lowered his eyelashes and hesitated.
There will inevitably be competition between shops of the same type in the same location.
As one grows, the other declines, and eventually one of them will perish.
Wouldn't it be too cruel for her to treat Xie Minglang by doing this?
"Get lost! This is my home, how dare you stop me?"
A shout was heard outside the door, followed by a figure walking quickly into the room.
The boy's eyebrows and eyes gradually became clear in the backlight, and his face was dark and gloomy, as if he was trying hard to suppress the anger in his heart.
And the rage immediately burst out when he saw Murong Yan's figure in the living room.
"Sister Wanyin is right. Princess Yunheng didn't keep you in the palace at all. You've been fooling around with men these past few days!"
"Xie Zhuoning, you are already engaged. Do you know how to write the word shame?"
"You have brought disgrace upon the Zhenyang Marquisate!"
As soon as Xie Minglang came in, he started to curse at Xie Zhuoning, making him stagger and feel dizzy.
She didn't expect that after she had finally escaped death, her own brother didn't even ask if she was okay, but instead made some groundless accusations against her!
"Miss, are you okay?" Seeing that something was wrong with her, Murong Yan quickly stood up and supported her.
Unexpectedly, before he could even stand firmly, he was thrown away by Xie Minglang, "Get away! How dare you hug me in front of me? You adulterous couple, do you really think I'm dead?"
“Pah—”
He slapped out with all his strength.
Xie Zhuoning used too much force and the wounds on his body were painful all over.
But that kind of pain is not even half as bad as the stabbing pain in my heart.
Xie Minglang covered his face and looked at her in disbelief, "You hit me?"
"So what if I beat you? You slandered my elder sister and insulted others. I'm being polite by not using family rules!"
The pain from the tearing wound surged to his heart, and Xie Zhuoning almost gritted his teeth as he spat out these words.
Xie Minglang frowned, very angry, "Okay, very good! I thought you were my elder sister, and I was your only support and reliance in the future. But now you don't even want your own brother for a man, I wonder who will support you in the future!"
After saying these harsh words, he turned and left.
Xie Zhuoning sat weakly on the chair, rubbing his forehead with his hand.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Murong, for causing you trouble."
I don’t know how many bad things Xie Wanyin said to Xie Minglang about her, which made that boy come to her in such a rage to settle the score.
"It's no problem," Murong Yan shook his head, "It's a great honor."
Xie Zhuoning paused and then said, "Let's proceed as planned."
Murong Yan nodded to show that he understood.
She was not going to be soft-hearted towards her brother anymore.
…
Xie Mansion.
"Brother Minglang, come and try it. I made this for you myself."
Xie Wanyin brought a plate of cakes and placed it on the table with a smile.
Xie Minglang picked it up and ate a piece. His eyes lit up. "It's delicious. It tastes just like the ones made in the snack shops out there!"
"Really?" Xie Wanyin smiled awkwardly.
Xie Minglang's head drooped like an eggplant hit by frost. "Sister Wanyin, you are good to me. Unlike my elder sister, I was obviously thinking about her and hoped that she would not go astray. But she actually hit me..."
"She used to be so gentle, when did she become like this?"
Xie Wanyin sighed, "Maybe people's hearts change easily. I also want to restore my close relationship with my elder sister, but... ah!"
"Sister Wanyin, don't be sad, I will definitely make you return to normal!"
Xie Minglang perked up when he thought of the bet he had made with his sister.
He asked his servants to bring all the recent account books so that he could see how the business was going.
The result is unbearable. Once you see it, you will be shocked. “How did you lose so much?”
Xie Wanyin frowned, "Could it be that the people under you saw that you were easy to bully and secretly took some money for themselves?"
"How dare they!" Xie Minglang slammed the table and immediately asked someone to notify all the shopkeepers to come see him.
But when he took the account book and questioned them one by one, the shopkeepers all had their own stories.
"Young Master, have you forgotten? It was you who sent someone to bring a hundred sets of top-quality pens, ink, paper, and inkstones as gifts for your friends. This expense alone was several thousand taels of silver, not including the money you normally use."
"It was posted by you, Master, saying that all students of Lushan Academy can eat for free. Those people call their friends to come here every day to eat and dine for free, and even normal customers can't get a seat. How can they make money?"
"The second young lady and the eldest young lady will come to Yunjinxuan in the next few days to make some new clothes, all made of the most expensive silk. Even if you save money, you can't afford such expenses, right?"
"Moreover, a new store that is exactly the same as ours has recently opened next to us. The products are better than ours and the prices are cheaper than ours. We can't even sell our products. How can we make money?"
"you do not say!"
Every shopkeeper was right, and Xie Minglang's head was about to explode.
Xie Wanyin asked someone to invite them all out and gave Xie Minglang some advice, "Look, brother Minglang, those shops have such huge losses. Instead of filling them with money, you might as well just sell them. Anyway, Huicuilou is the most popular restaurant in Beijing, and Yunjinxuan is the most famous clothing shop in Beijing. With just these two, you can rest assured for the rest of your life. Why bother with all that?"
Xie Minglang thought about it carefully and felt that it made sense.
He is planning to take the imperial examination, so how can he have the time and energy to manage a shop?
He immediately said, "How about this, Sister Wanyin, I'll take care of those shops, and then you can take care of Huicui Building and Yunjinxuan for me?"
Xie Wanyin had been waiting for this sentence for a long time, but she still showed an attitude of wanting to refuse but also to accept, "If I can help brother Minglang, I'm willing to do anything."
Hearing this, Xie Minglang was moved beyond words.
the other side.
Murong Yan continued to send messages back.
Xie Minglang sold the shop, and he immediately took over his business.
The thing that was taken out of Xie Zhuoning's hand turned around and returned to her hand.
"Now only Huicui Building and Yunjinxuan are left."
After all, these two shops have deep foundations and many repeat customers. It would be difficult to squeeze them out if you don’t have some real skills.
"Mm, it's delicious, this is exactly the taste!" Song Yuqiu took a bite of the cake and danced with excitement.
After so much research, Yin Xuan finally achieved some results.
Xie Zhuoning raised his lips when he saw this, "Send a message to Mr. Murong, our Baiweixuan is officially launching cakes and desserts, limited quantity per day, first come first served."
Hui Cui Lou is famous for its Jiang Hu Drunken Shrimp, and Bai Wei Xuan has carved out a niche with its cakes!
