Bai Yan looked at Lin Xiaowu and said with a smile: "You have followed Han Chang for so long, and you know the accounts clearly, so you are capable. You risked being discovered by Han Chang and the Bai Han family and went to Yanzhou City to find me alone.
Courage and emotion are both important. These are enough to make you qualified to be the big shopkeeper. From today on, you will be the big shopkeeper here."
Before Lin Xiaowu could refuse, Bai Yan said again: "I will leave this store to you. Don't let me down. I will have someone pick up the account books and profits on time. You don't have to worry about anything else. If there are any problems, even though
Go to Yanzhou City to find me."
Lin Xiaowu nodded heavily: "Don't worry, young master, Xiao Wu will do his best to help the young master manage the bank."
At this moment, he only had one thought in his heart: Bai Yan was his lifelong master.
What a simple child.
Bai Yan sighed in his heart and looked at the envious apprentices: "You don't have to envy Lin Xiaowu. There are many banks in the Bai family. As long as you are good enough and loyal enough, you can also go to other banks like Lin Xiaowu.
Be a great shopkeeper."
The moment he finished speaking, Bai Yan saw the eyes of the apprentices brighten up, and some changes occurred in each of them.
Bai Yan is very satisfied, these people will be his team. However, whether they can be used will have to be observed and evaluated for a period of time.
"You all work hard, the young master will not treat you badly. This is your blessing, so be sure to grasp it." Acheng echoed from the side, saying good things about Bai Yan.
"A-Cheng, I don't need you here anymore. You can go back first." Bai Yan looked at A-Cheng and said calmly.
"Young Master, what are your orders?" Acheng said with a smile on his face.
"Go back and tell Bai Hanshi what happened here." Bai Yan responded.
In an instant, Ah Cheng turned pale and shouted in his heart.
With a pop, Cheng knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing: "Young Master, please forgive Cheng this time. Cheng promises that he will be loyal to Young Master from now on."
Just before, he was still taking chances. But at this moment, he understood that he had been exposed. Bai Yan already knew all the things he wanted to hide from the light of day.
He is different from Han Chang in that his bond of sale is still in the Bai family. Bai Yan has the right to beat him to death, and the government will not pursue him.
Bai Yan looked at Cheng with amusement and said indifferently: "What mistake did you make? Why should I forgive you?"
"Young Master, I shouldn't have accepted money from the Second Madam, worked for the Second Madam, and told him your whereabouts and news. It was the Second Madam who asked me to come up with bad ideas and ruin your reputation..."
Ah Cheng told everything he knew.
In the past, he always thought that he could manipulate Bai Yan at his fingertips, but at this moment, he was really scared.
"You have done such a bad thing and you still dare to ask for my forgiveness? Now go back to the Second Madam, maybe she can save you." Bai Yan sneered.
"Young Master, I am your slave, not the second lady's. What's more, you are the master of the Bai family. Although the master likes the second lady, he also dislikes the second lady's background." Acheng said.
"You see clearly." Bai Yan snorted coldly.
His cheap father still has very traditional and conservative ideas, and has always cared about Bai Han's origin. Because of this, he never regarded Bai Han's two children as his legitimate sons.
Even though Bai Yan is a playboy, Bai Jinghao has always placed high hopes on him as the future successor of the Bai family.
"Okay, since you want to continue to follow me, I will give you a chance. Now go back home, see Bai Hanshi, and tell him what happened here." Bai Yan said.
"Ah? Master, don't you believe me? I only speak from my heart." Acheng kowtowed again.
"No, I believe you. I just want to let Bai Han know and see what she will do." Bai Yan said, "After finishing the errand, you go to the housekeeper and receive fifty pieces of board, and all the previous matters will be wiped out.
.”
After saying that, Bai Yan waved his hand and told Acheng to get lost.
Ah Cheng gritted his teeth and walked away.
Seeing Acheng walking away, Xiaocui said hurriedly: "Young master, you just forgive Acheng like this? He betrayed you."
"He betrayed me, but it's excusable. As long as he repented and started over, it wouldn't be a problem." Bai Yan said with a smile.
There is no way out for Acheng to follow the original owner, so it is understandable that he chooses to betray. He kept Acheng because he was smart and capable enough.
It is not easy to cultivate a capable and loyal person.
Xiao Cui nodded in understanding: "Young Master, why do you want to hit Cheng?"
"Let him learn a lesson and test his loyalty." Bai Yan responded.
This time, Xiaocui nodded seriously: "That's right. Officials say that those who can withstand criticism are loyal. The young master did the right thing."
Looking at Xiaocui's expression, Bai Yan almost laughed out loud. Only then did he realize that this little girl had a cute side.
"Xiao Wu, you and I will reorganize the account books tonight and go to the warehouse tomorrow. In addition, return all the food for the house at the original price," Bai Yan ordered.
Soon, Lin Xiaowu brought all the account books for the past year.
Bai Yan and Lin Xiaowu worked together until late at night to sort out the account books.
There were many accounts that Lin Xiaowu couldn't understand. Bai Yan could point out the key points with just one sentence.
During this period, Lin Xiaowu and others all stared with wide eyes in disbelief, shouting in their hearts that this is a man of God.
Bai Yan was busy until very late before going to bed.
At the same time, the Bai family was in a state of chaos.
After hearing Acheng's report, Bai Han dropped her work and ran to the study with disheveled hair. She fell to the ground with a plop and kept wailing.
"Master, that little bastard is going to put me to death..."
Seeing Bai Hanshi behaving like this, Bai Jinghao was furious. Every time Bai Hanshi was like this before, it was because Bai Yan caused a big disaster and brought trouble to the family.
He just thought Bai Yan had gotten better, but he didn't want to cause trouble again so soon.
"Ms. Han, what trouble did that little bastard get into again? Does he want my Bai family to confiscate the entire family before he is satisfied?"
"Master, I can't live any longer. That little brat will kill me sooner or later. Please give me a divorce note and let me go back to my parents' home." Mrs. Han kept crying.
Seeing that Han refused to say anything, Bai Jinghao could only scold Acheng who followed him.
"Tell me, what trouble did the young master get into again? If you dare to hide even a word, I will have you beaten to death."
"Reporting to the master, the eldest young master went to Lucheng Bank, dealt with the corrupt shopkeeper Han, and promoted apprentice Lin Xiaowu to be the new shopkeeper..."
Ah Cheng did not dare to hide anything and told the story exactly as it was.
He was also observing Bai Jinghao's reaction, and found that Bai Jinghao suddenly cleared up and started laughing.
