Qiao Xin knew that the Eighth Prince had invested all the 10,000 taels of silver in this, so she sighed and said nothing. However, Nanny Qin said with some concern: "Madam, isn't it too hasty for the young men to get the prince to join the group?"
"It's over now. They can't do anything about it. We can't exclude the Eighth Prince. Who knows how long they can work together? Your Majesty is so willing to pay, isn't it because he wants to provide security for his son? Let them deal with Yu Mancang, and the adults of our Qiao family should not interfere easily. It's up to them to decide what kind of situation they can create."
These guys just relied on their young age to work together to earn some pocket money, but as Yu Mancang's business grew bigger and bigger, they also grew up, and there were more things to consider.
Even brothers are reluctant to do business together, let alone friends! Although it is said that brothers fight tigers together and fathers and sons fight together in battle, fighting tigers or fighting in battle is only a temporary thing. Afterwards, brothers have to settle accounts clearly, right?
Business is an ongoing, long-term process, so it is inevitable that disagreements will arise.
At that time, who should they listen to and who should they not listen to? Should they succumb to power or stick to their own opinions? This is a difficult problem that the master and his men have to figure out!
From the moment the Eighth Prince joined the group, Yu Mancang's future was destined to not be completely led by the young man from the Qiao family.
I hope that young men, when there are disagreements in the future, don't regret the decision you made now! If you can really learn the ways of the world from this business, it will be worth it.
She was quite open-minded about the matter and just let it go. She even let the children handle the planning of the new store on their own. She didn't know how to ask people she was familiar with, or send someone to inquire about the news. If there was nothing she could do, she would let them write to their father.
After the beginning of autumn, everything was complicated. There was no shortage of manpower, but there was a big gap in professional talents. Qiao Xin missed Shunzi very much at this time. With this kid around, she didn't have to worry about these things herself, and they were arranged clearly.
Qiao Xin had been busy all day. When she was chatting with Nanny Qin in the evening, she couldn't help but complain: "We have too few people available. Shunzi is not here. Who will take care of these things now?"
"After Bai Liu went to the capital, the inner courtyard was taken care of by the servants, and the outer courtyard was basically taken care of by Manager Cao alone. During this period of time, many things happened at the same time. Not only did everyone have to work on the autumn harvest, but they also had to take care of the sundries in Linshui Town and Yunxi Town. He was exhausted.
If it weren't for Shu Niang taking over the task of collecting the white stacks, this Manager Cao wouldn't even have time to take a nap in a day."
Qiao Xin had a headache. Those capable managers and shopkeepers were trained by their masters over the years. They were always loyal to their masters and rarely betrayed them. This led to her not being able to hire an excellent professional agent even if she paid.
No one helps, they are too busy to handle it all. The eldest and the third brother have official positions now, and most of them are surrounded by military officers, so they can't be relied on. The second brother does have a few people who are proficient in general affairs, but he is also in a big mess outside the city, so he needs more manpower than her.
Not only did he not help, but he also plundered all the reserve talents that Shunzi had cultivated with great difficulty.
Now, I can only find a few more!
But where can we find someone to take charge in such a short time?
"Old Madam, you forgot about the group of people from Nanliang. They all wanted to bring in a powerful person. Should we go and take a look?"
Qiao Xin clapped her hands and remembered: "Oh, look at my memory, I really forgot about this. Okay, let's go and take a look first!"
Nanny Qin was a little surprised. With this kind of personality, how could he act so impulsively and not wait even a moment!
"But I'm afraid everyone has already started to rest now?"
Qiao Xin thought it was quite suitable: "It won't take too long, half an hour will be enough. During the day, everyone is scattered in various places to do things, and it will be difficult to gather them together!"
Nanny Qin came back to her senses and said, "How about, I ask Manager Cao to call the people over? Is it necessary for you to go there in person?"
"It doesn't matter. Since I bought them, I haven't paid much attention to how they are doing. Now I take this opportunity to go and take a look!"
Nanny Qin knew that Qiao Xin had to go, so she had to suggest, "You have to ask Manager Cao to gather everyone first! You can't be the master and knock on everyone's door one by one? By then, you might be fine, but others will be scared to death!
My dear master, isn't everyone like you who doesn't care about hierarchy? They have lived in Nanliang, a place full of noble families, for most of their lives."
As Qiao Xin walked out, she talked to Nanny Qin: "Okay, okay, okay, I'll listen to you. We should lag behind by half a step and let Manager Cao go over first to call for help, right?"
Only then did Nanny Qin happily pick up the cloak and Pei Qiaoxin go to choose someone!
When Manager Cao heard that the old lady was going to meet the criminals in person before going to bed, he thought something terrible had happened. He dragged his exhausted body out of bed and gathered everyone together in person.
Gu Zaixing and others were also shocked. The old lady had treated them as ordinary servants from the beginning and had not done anything special. This was the first time she had seen such behavior.
Everyone felt inexplicably uneasy and couldn't help but look at Hei Ya and Gu Zaixing, who had the most contact with the old lady.
"Girl, Mr. Gu, did the master say what he was going to do during the day? Why did he gather us all together in the middle of the night? Let's take a look. Except for those of us who came from Nanliang, there is actually no one who is a servant of the master!" The one who asked this question was a thin-faced middle-aged man. Gu thought for a long time but couldn't remember what was different about Qiao Xin during the day. He, a meticulous person, didn't notice anything unusual, let alone Heiya, who was so careless.
Seeing the two of them shaking their heads, everyone couldn't help but feel nervous!
The Qiao family provided Tian with good food and drink for more than three months. During this time, they also helped with their medical treatment and arranged accommodation for them. Although they were required to work like the Qiao family's servants on weekdays, this treatment was definitely not what a criminal slave deserved.
There is no such thing as a free lunch in the world. They always felt that the Qiao family must have bigger plans. It was like a guillotine hanging over their necks, which might fall to the ground any day.
Is it today?
Some people feel sad, but some people think that today's situation may not be a bad thing.
Especially Heiya and Gu Zaixing. After all, they have been in contact with the old lady for such a long time, and they know a little about Qiao Xin's character.
Gu then comforted everyone, "It may not be a bad thing. Everyone thinks that forgetting may be safer? But what if the master values us? Before the accident, some of you were heads of families, some were managers, and more or less you all have some real talents and knowledge. This is exactly what the Qiao family needs most right now. I remember the old lady once said that what she cares about is our talents, not our status and past!"
