Jiang Sheng left in a hurry, without leaving a word. He only left behind a little girl, an adopted daughter. It is impossible to say that these stewards had no thoughts in their minds.
Some are even looking forward to the Jiang family being in chaos, so that they can take advantage of it and get some bargains. Not to mention other things, just hauling a few carts of goods from the warehouse is a windfall for these stewards.
It's a pity that Jiang Hui came to them before they could take action. The meaning behind her words was obvious. The Jiang family's future business would be hers. She wanted them to be obedient.
The steward himself is not a servant of the Jiang family, but a job like a shopkeeper is not easy to find. However, all stewards in wealthy merchants who can be named are all trained by their masters themselves. They are all old people who have endured for many years. Their skills and loyalty are indispensable.
, it is possible to achieve such a position. If these stewards leave the Jiang family, they will either set up a small shop to manage their own family. If they want to be stewards again, they must be so capable and outstanding that the masters of other families know to send people to invite them personally. Otherwise, they are
To do some hard work.
None of the stewards wanted to leave.
Seeing that Jiang Yuning was just a little girl who had never been involved in business, Jiang Hui kept saying that she would take over the Jiang family in the future. Therefore, these ten managers all expressed their loyalty in front of Jiang Hui, which is equivalent to recognizing her as their master.
As soon as they expressed their loyalty over there, the little master here asked them, how should they answer?
Seeing that the steward didn't answer, he only winked secretly. Chu Yunli seemed to be smiling but not smiling: "Don't they all recognize the master? I can't keep those who are disobedient. You can leave on your own."
Managers: "..."
They just didn't want to leave, so they showed their loyalty to Jiang Hui!
The leader, Manager Chen, looked embarrassed and told them about Jiang Hui's visit to them a few days ago, and finally said: "We all thought that my aunt would take over the business in the future, so we agreed to send the account books to her in the future... Girl, our family will take over the business in the future..."
We don't know where to go. The best way is for you and your aunt to explain the matter clearly together, and then explain it to us face to face. In the future, we will also know clearly who the master is, so there will be no mistake. You and
There will be no misunderstanding between aunt and grandma."
Chu Yunli narrowed her eyes.
If the stewards of the Jiang family are people who know current affairs, then the stewards in front of them are not so easy to manipulate.
After all, they didn't want to listen to Jiang Hui, nor did they want to listen to her.
Also, Jiang Yuning was only fifteen this year. She had a soft temper before and had never interfered in business matters. It was understandable that the managers did not believe her.
To put it simply, these stewards were just like the dozen or so people she asked Yapo to take away yesterday who decided not to come to see her. They didn't take her seriously at all.
Chu Yunli smiled half-heartedly: "Mingren don't tell secrets. My aunt wants to take over the Jiang family, but I won't agree. It's impossible for us to live in peace. You insist that I discuss it with her. What will be the outcome of the discussion?"
If you want to satisfy her, do you want me to give up the Jiang family to others?"
Her tone was calm, her smile was sarcastic, and her eyes were extremely transparent.
Meeting that look and listening to her repeated questions, beads of sweat appeared on Manager Chen's forehead.
The other stewards also felt uncomfortable and secretly winked at the people around them.
But Chu Yunli lost his patience: "If you don't want to do it anymore, you can leave at any time. This Jiang family does not allow others to interfere."
Manager Chen was surprised: "What if it's my aunt?"
Chu Yunli asked: "Why should she?"
All the stewards looked at each other in confusion. Jiang Hui is already the daughter-in-law of the He family, so it is really untenable to take over the Jiang family's business. However, the Jiang family does not have a serious master now!
Seeing that they were still hesitating, Chu Yunli stood up and said, "Everyone, please go back. From tomorrow on, you won't have to work anymore. I will personally check the accounts in the shop. If I find anything wrong, I will settle the accounts with you."
Hearing this, the stewards became anxious and immediately expressed their loyalty: "I will listen to you from now on and will never show the account books to outsiders."
This is decent!
Chu Yunli was very satisfied with what she said. She stared at them one by one. All seven of them said the same thing to her. The remaining three thought for a long time before saying: "Anyway, we are paid. Whoever pays us will pay us."
Who do you work for?"
This was the truth, but it was also ambiguous. He still refused to recognize Chu Yunli as his master.
Chu Yunli nodded: "But I, who pay you wages, don't like people like you who work for a day and get paid for a day. From tomorrow on, you don't have to come!"
She stood up and said, "Let's do this for now. When you go back, bring the account book over. After two days, I will go to the shop to have a look in person. If anything can be improved, we will correct it."
The others, led by Manager Chen, all breathed a sigh of relief. Listening to what he said, he didn't sound like someone who didn't understand anything.
As for the three fired stewards, they were a little confused. They had all seen off the guests and they didn't realize it yet. They were dragged away by the remaining people.
The account books were delivered in the afternoon of that day. After Chu Yunli looked through them, he had a better understanding of the abilities of the several stewards and the potential of the shop. From the second day on, he began to inspect each shop.
After the three stewards over there were dismissed, the more they thought about it, the more unwilling they were to go back. But they didn't want to lower their heads to beg a little girl, so they went to the He family.
…
Jiang Hui rashly brought a group of people back that day. The people she served in the yard became nervous. They were quarreling with each other and often asked her to make the decision. Just when she was feeling annoyed, three stewards came to her door again. The words were very clear: We are
I was fired after listening to what you said. Do you want to arrange it for us or for us?
To put it bluntly, compensation is required.
Jiang Hui had no choice but to accept people, and the more she thought about it, the more frustrated she became. After all the hard work, she didn't get any benefits, but instead gained nearly thirty people who were stuck to her and couldn't be torn off.
These people have been in the Jiang family for many years. In the past, when Jiang Sheng and his wife were here, they trusted them. In contrast, other people would respect them. Now that we are in this situation, it is all because of Jiang Hui. He didn't just ask her what she wanted.
Yue Yin also thought that the work was too tiring and the food was not good.
Speaking of which, there are so many masters in the He family, and the monthly kitchen expenses are very high. Of course, it is not as exquisite as the food in the Jiang family's kitchen. These people feel that they are dragged down by Jiang Hui, and they will come to her whenever they feel inappropriate.
It was very annoying to get Jiang Hui.
When she found out that a maid was coming to He Guangyao's side every now and then, but He Guangyao was not averse to meat and vegetables and was very concerned about the maid, Jiang Hui finally couldn't bear it any longer and slapped her hand on the table: "That's too much to bully. Do you really think I am a maid?"
He has no temper. Go and ask Ya Po to come!"
The maid lowered her head and quickly retreated.
Jiang Hui ordered people to call them all to the main room: "I helped you stop a meal. I don't think I owe you, but you are too ignorant. So many things have happened in just a few days. I am
I can’t keep you any longer, Yapo will be here soon.”
All the servants: "..."
They were surprised at first, and then they started to make a fuss: "Auntie, it's all because of you that we are where we are today. You can't just ignore us."
"That's right, if Nian'er did something wrong, you can just punish her. Why do you want to vent your anger on us?"
"We didn't do anything, we didn't dislike the food, and we didn't say anything bad about this place. We didn't even come to see you. Our family is very well-behaved. You can't overwhelm a whole boatload of people with one stroke."
…
When Ya Po came, there was a lot of noise in the room. Jiang Hui sat at the top with a straight face, neither answering nor scolding.
In fact, she had wanted to get angry for a long time, but she just wanted to endure this last time and send people away. It is true that these people were driven out because of her ambition, but these people are really shameless, they have no
The fate of master and servant.
As soon as Ya Po saw these people in the room, her scalp went numb. However, there is still business to be done. The difference is just how much she earns. She immediately stepped forward with a smile: "Madam, I heard that you have someone to send away?"
Jiang Hui pointed tiredly at a group of noisy people: "That's them, take them away quickly."
The people over there were even more noisy, and Ya Po said with a cold face: "If anyone makes any noise again, I will send him to another place!"
The foreign place she was referring to should be a county or town under the jurisdiction of the city. The poorer the family, the harder it is for the servants to live, and they almost want to be treated like cattle and horses.
Those who have been in the Jiang family for many years have certainly heard of what happened to other servants. As soon as Ya Po spoke, the room fell silent for an instant.
Jiang Hui's complexion became worse and worse.
Yapo stepped forward and bowed: "Madam, you gave me the deed, and I will take them away right away."
Jiang Hui stiffened slightly.
She has no body bond!
When she left the Jiang family that day, she was full of unwillingness. How could she remember to ask that girl for a physical bond?
Jiang Hui looked cautious. If she didn't have a physical contract, she couldn't sell these people. If the Jiang family never gave them, what would she... do?
Have you been raising these people?
To be fair, if she had not brought these people back before, she would have had no problem raising a few more people. But since the physical deeds of these people are not in her hands, can they still be considered hers?
She suddenly thought of the girl who seduced He Guangyao. Maybe it was Jiang Yuning who instigated it! Suddenly, she felt a surge of anger in her head. She also thought that she wanted to go back to Jiang's house but was blocked from the door. It happened that she took this opportunity to come to the house to ask for guilt!
Thinking of this, Jiang Hui no longer hesitated and angrily led a group of people straight to Jiang's house.
The concierge of the Jiang family looked embarrassed: "The master is not here, so I don't dare to let the guests in."
Jiang Hui was so angry that her mouth was filled with smoke.
Even when her brother was around, she was never stopped outside!
As for the Jiang family, Chu Yunli had renovated most of the shops in a few days. She closed down the ones that didn't make much money, and then opened a rouge shop and several restaurants, which she was already familiar with.
It can be called a silver shop.
In the past few days, the remaining shopkeepers all looked up to her with admiration. She felt like her old boss had a keen eye for people. Otherwise, why didn't they adopt other girls instead of choosing her?
Some people even thought more deeply, thinking that Jiang Sheng was conscious that he could not have children, so he specially chose a girl who was very talented in business to raise him. However, he was afraid that she would steal his limelight, so he kept suppressing her from entering the shop.
When he got old, he would hand over the shops to her one by one... But he didn't expect the disaster from heaven, and he passed away without even saying a word.
This can also explain why a girl who has never been exposed to business is so skillful in doing business. On the surface, this girl doesn't know how, but privately, she doesn't know why Jiang Sheng bothers to teach her.
I have to say, this is a wonderful misunderstanding.
Chu Yunli has been very busy these days. When she returned to her mansion, it was already getting late.
Jiang Hui saw her carriage approaching and rushed forward angrily: "Where is their physical contract?"
Chu Yunli blinked, and after being reminded by this, he remembered that there was such a thing, and immediately said: "Brothers are still settling accounts. If you take them away, of course you have to buy the body contract!"
Jiang Hui: "..." If she wants to sell these people, she has to buy them first?
