When Shopkeeper Liang was lost in thought, he heard Qiao Xin mention him: "Shopkeeper Liang, in the next few days, you should teach him more and include Xiao Yu in the list of cadres to be trained this time. Let him learn to read and read the account book as soon as possible."
Shopkeeper Liang's heart was slightly shaken, but he did not show it at all. He just bent down even more and said yes, lowering his eyes to hide his true emotions.
"If you find talented young men like Xiao Yu, please recommend them to me. I am short of people right now. When this area is built, I will need at least ten or eight more shopkeepers.
If half of them were brought up by you, Old Liang, that would be an incredible achievement. In the future, you, the chief shopkeeper of South City, will have the support of hundreds of people!"
"The chief shopkeeper of Nancheng? Then who will this full warehouse of fish be given to?" Shopkeeper Liang looked up in shock!
"Of course, I'll give it to the rightful person. You belong to my Qiao Mansion. After the warehouse is full, it may not be my Qiao Mansion that has the final say. If you really can't bear to give up the position of shopkeeper, I will have no choice but to hand over your indenture to the Eighth Prince. It's easier to succeed by following a prince than by following the Qiao Family!"
"this...."
Shopkeeper Liang was caught off guard by this sudden news. He had witnessed with his own eyes the building up of Yu Mancang bit by bit. He was like his own child and the Qiao family had poured too much effort into it. Why would it suddenly change?
"It's not that it doesn't belong to the Qiao family anymore, it's that the Qiao family is slowly no longer in control of it. In the future, the majority of the money will be controlled by the prince's people. Your young masters, including me, will slowly just take the dividends and not do anything else."
"Then...what about the South City Commercial District that is being planned?"
"Of course, the Qiao family is in charge. The Eighth Prince is optimistic about you and thinks that you have managed the Yu Mancang very well. He wants you to stay and continue to take charge of the overall situation. If you are willing, I will let you follow him! If you don't go, you will be the general manager of the South City Commercial Street in the future!"
"Madam, I'm not going anywhere. I'll just follow you. Without the Qiao family, I, Liang, would be a refugee somewhere else. My life and death belong to the Qiao family."
"Okay, I will help you reject the Eighth Prince's application, but you have to train me to become a few qualified branch store owners as soon as possible. Xiaoyu will be the owner of a pastry shop, a bookstore, a grain store..."
........
Yu Huanxi supported Manager Liang and walked out with one step deep and one step shallow. The two looked at each other, still unable to believe that they had been promoted to managers after just a short while.
Yu Huanxi pinched his arm and almost howled in pain. He was always smiling, but now tears welled up in his eyes. He looked at Shopkeeper Liang with a mixture of laughter and tears, and said, "Shopkeeper...Master, we are really not dreaming!"
Shopkeeper Liang was amused by his silly look, raised his hand and slapped him: "Don't panic, calm down. If you are so impatient, how can you be independent in the future? Remember, before the appointment is officially made, no one should mention today's conversation. There are many people in this world who can't stand seeing others do well."
Yu Huanxi understood that this was the beginning of Liang's sincere guidance to him. He nodded repeatedly and promised not to make a big fuss about it and to keep it a secret.
Seeing him like this, Shopkeeper Liang was even more satisfied.
Anyone who can accomplish something is calm and composed. The more critical the moment, the more cautious you should be. Before everything is settled, any negligence may lead to failure.
Only by being more vigilant can we avoid suffering from unexpected disasters.
Shopkeeper Liang came back to his senses from his thoughts, wiped his face heavily, and took a deep breath. He never dared to think that Old Liang would have a peak moment again.
And all this was given by the master and the old lady. She felt ashamed of her mean-spirited heart just now!
It’s different, everything is different. The old lady is different from anyone he has ever met or any other host in the house!
The master treats him so sincerely. If he still has some ulterior motives, he would be unworthy of the trust. What is the difference between him and the previous master?
Yu Huanxi tilted his head secretly, his expression was three parts inquiry, three parts curiosity, and three parts restraint, which looked very distorted on his smiling face. That expression could probably open a dyeing factory, but his tone was a little cautious: "Master, are you really not willing to go to the Eighth Prince?"
Shopkeeper Liang paused and shook his head, saying, "No!"
Yu Huanxi obviously didn’t quite understand why?
Shopkeeper Liang looked even more serious than before, with his hands behind his back hanging down beside him, but his eyes looked at Yu Huanxi inexplicably: "There is no free lunch in the world. Some choices may seem to be extremely rich, but you and I may not be able to enjoy them.
When you think you are taking advantage, think about why it is you. What is there about you that is worth others' plotting against? Not all masters treat their servants like the old lady does.
Xiaoyu, you are very smart. But being smart can easily lead to mistakes. "
Yu Huanxi's heart trembled, and he lowered his head quickly, saying, "I would never dare to do that! I will never forget the great kindness of the old lady."
Shopkeeper Liang patted Yu Huanxi on the back and went back to do his own thing.
Although Yu Mancang's method of listening to books during off-peak hours alleviated the crowded dining environment, it only alleviated it for a short time.
There are no secrets under the imperial city. Once there is something new, it will spread to every corner immediately!
Today, more and more guests came here because of its reputation. Even in the private rooms on the second floor, people were sharing rooms, not to mention that there were many guests sharing seats in the lobby on the first floor. Even in the open space outside the door, they had to add benches and tables one after another. There were many complimentary cakes and dried fruit plates on them.
In order to wait for the one-hour special performance in the afternoon, many people drank a lot of tea and asked others to help them reserve a seat when they went to the toilet, for fear that there would be no place left when they turned around!
Gu Zaixing is indeed an expert in this field. He speaks freely and is good at stirring up the emotions of the group. The people below are also very happy. He does not talk nonsense, nor does he use words or phrases to pretend to be profound. His straightforward language makes it effortless for people to listen.
"Zhou Botong instructed Guo Jing to start exchanging experiences and secretly taught this silly boy martial arts. However, as an old naughty boy, his way of doing things always made people feel uncomfortable..."
“Bang!”
Xingmu remembered again, and everyone who sank into the martial arts world heard the words they least wanted to hear:
"To know the details, please listen to the next episode!"
Gu Zaixing stood up again, bowed to the people around him and said, "Thank you all for coming. Today's book club ends here. We will continue tomorrow!"
