Chapter 2 The first signs of the contract are taking shape
"There is also this, pot wrapped meat, three fresh places, and pig killing vegetables in the Northeast. There is also a bean bun with Su Ziye, which is eaten with this pig-killing dish. Tong Yuqi introduced Sheng Wanrou one by one.
Sheng Wanrou is indeed the first time to see Northeast cuisine, and the smell is indeed very fragrant.
She took a sip of the chicken broth, which was particularly tender. It's just slightly salty.
"And this, Korean food, miso soup, cake, and freshly made spicy cabbage. These are made by my sister. You taste it!" Tong Yuqi once again introduced the dish to Sheng Wanrou.
Sheng Wanrou rarely ate spicy food before, but looking at the spicy cabbage was really tempting, so she took a bite and put it in her mouth.
"It's delicious, and it's spicy. "Sheng Wan judo.
"I heard the third prince say, you are coming back this time to open a shop and restaurant?" asked Tong Yuqi.
"Yes, I made perfume in France and also wanted to open a restaurant in Jiangcheng. Sheng Wanrou said.
"My younger sister Kim Mi-yeon graduated from business school and is good at business. She also cooks Korean food, so you can have a good chat. Tong Yuqi made an introduction.
"Okay, thank you, Commander, for the introduction. Sheng Wanrou nodded frequently.
"I also prepared grain wine made from sorghum in the Northeast. If Miss Seven can drink it, drink a glass, and if she can't, drink this champagne. Tong Yuqi took out wine and champagne.
"Thank you, Commander, for your thoughtfulness. Sheng Wanrou picked up the champagne casually.
"There are a lot of businessmen and foreigners coming and going in Jiangcheng, and you can make a good profit from making a restaurant. I support you!" Tong Yuqi said.
"My business is good, and the tax on the commander's side will be more. It's all a mutually beneficial and win-win thing. "Sheng Wan judo.
"So if Miss Seven has any needs, just mention it. In the realm of this Jiangcheng, I still have the final say. Tong Yuqi said
Sheng Wanrou nodded.
The reception banquet ended in a pleasant atmosphere. After the meal, they ate some more snacks and chatted for a while, and Tong Yuqi sent Sheng Wanrou out of the door.
After saying goodbye, Sheng Jinglin drove Sheng Wanrou home.
"This Commander Tong is a little too enthusiastic about me. ”
"Our Sheng family has a good relationship with Commander Tong, and you just came back. If your business really starts in the future, then Commander Tong will also have light with you. Half of Jilin's tax revenue comes from Changchun, and Jiangcheng also contributes a lot. For him, it was Han Xin's soldiers, and the more the merrier. Sheng Jinglin turned a corner as he spoke.
"His yard is good, with the taste of Jiangnan. It's very similar to my boudoir in my hometown. "Sheng Wanrou likes Tong Yuqi's yard very much.
"Want to build a house?" Sheng Jinglin asked.
"I think!" Sheng Wan judo.
"Aren't you going to study in the United States to continue your studies?
"Going to the United States is just an idea of mine, if there can be a good prospect in Jiangcheng, then I will not go to the United States. Sheng Wanrou stroked her hair.
"I'm going to tell you, it's not a good business. You're a woman in such an environment, and I'm still a little uneasy. Sheng Jinglin said.
"If you can do this business, I can do it. Don't think that way about me just because I'm a woman. I can do it too!" Sheng Wanrou was a little disdainful.
"You can tell the third brother about building a house, and if he agrees, he will build it for you. Sheng Jinglin said.
Sheng Wanrou knew that there was nothing she couldn't get what she wanted.
Sheng Wanrou returned home here, and Tong Yuqi also arrived home over there.
Kim Mi-yeon followed him quietly until she entered the study and opened her mouth to speak.
"What do you mean?" asked Kim Mi-yeon.
"What do I mean?" asked Tong Yuqi.
"You say I'm your sister! Who I am, don't you know in your heart? Are you worthy of me when you say that?" Kim Mi-yeon pressed step by step.
"You were originally a cousin of mine from afar, and you were, and you are, and even more so in the future. "Tong Yuqi is categorical.
"Your wife has died, and your two aunts and wives are also dead, and they are leaving. Now that you don't have any women by your side, when will you do what you promised me?" Kim Mi-yeon asked again.
"You know I hate it when people threaten me the most!" Tong Yuqi suddenly became serious.
"Yu Qi!" Kim Mi-yeon softened.
"Call me Commander in this house!" Tong Yuqi corrected Jin Meiyan.
"Commander, the seventh lady of the Sheng family has returned. I'm afraid that the things on South Street will not be hidden. You are so enthusiastic about her today, be a thief. Kim Mi-yeon said.
"This matter has nothing to do with you, you just take care of the affairs of South Street. I will not be bad at the benefits that should be given to you. You have to be honest!" Tong Yuqi deliberately emphasized the word honest.
Jin Meiyan was still afraid of Tong Yuqi, and in the end she chose to go out in silence.
Tong Yuqi closed the door of the study, and behind the screen of the study was a wooden bed. On the wall opposite the wooden bed hung a picture of his wife.
In fact, he began to live in the study while his wife was still seriously ill. Now that Mrs. Yuanpei has died three months ago, he has never left the study.
Tong Yuqi, who was quiet, thought about Sheng Wanrou at the reception banquet today, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Sheng Wanrou's appearance is somewhat similar to that of her own wife, especially her eyes.
Tong Yuqi admitted that when he first saw Sheng Wanrou, he was moved by her. But it's definitely not just because she looks like her dead wife.
In addition, his enthusiasm is not only for the sake of Sheng Jingzhi, the third young master of the Sheng family, but also for the affairs of the shops on South Street.
Thinking of this, he opened the drawer and took out a few contracts.
This is a contract for the transfer of shares in the South Street shop. On this, Party B signed the name of Tong Yuqi, and Party A signed Sheng Jingzhi.
The South Street shop is Sheng Wanrou's dowry industry, and now that the real protagonist is back, I am afraid it will cause waves.
Finally, Tong Yuqi closed the drawer.
At this time, in the Sheng family, Sheng Wanrou took a bath and drank soothing tea, but she was not in a hurry to sleep, but opened the bedroom door and stood in the corridor.
"Uncle Kun, bring me the reports and account books of Nanjie and let me take a look!" Sheng Wanrou shouted.
Uncle Kun stood there and did not speak.
"What, there's a problem?"
Sheng Wanrou asked again.
"No problem!" Uncle Kun hesitated for a moment, and then went to get something.
Five minutes later, Uncle Kun handed the things to Xiang'er, who was transferring them to Sheng Wanrou.
Sheng Wanrou took Yu'er into the bedroom again and closed the door. At this time, Uncle Kun's face was extremely heavy.
Sheng Wanrou looked through the ledgers and statements.
The third brother said that the business of South Street is good, and the income is also a lot. However, the profits in this statement and ledger are not so much. It's different from what my eldest brother showed me. Sheng Wanrou looked at the numbers on the report.
Whether it is the balance sheet or the financial profit statement, it is printed in black and white, and it is clearly printed.
It didn't seem like there was anything wrong, but I always felt that something was wrong. Sheng Wanrou looked at it repeatedly.
Yu'er also studied business with Sheng Wanrou for a period of time, and she can understand reports.
Yan'er also took a general look.
"I think there's a problem, but I can't say it. Miss, call Manager Lu over and ask. Xiang'er said.
Sheng Wanrou opened the door again, "Uncle Kun, call Manager Lu to the house tomorrow, I have something to ask him." ”
Uncle Kun didn't speak.
"Questions?" Sheng Wanrou asked again.
"No problem, I'll call Manager Lu to my house tomorrow. Uncle Kun said.
Sheng Wanrou looked at Uncle Kun and knew that there must be something wrong here.
Early the next morning, Sheng Wanrou had just had breakfast, and Manager Lu came.
Uncle Kun stopped him at the door, "Miss Seven asked about Nanjie, what to say, you know it in your heart." ”
"Got it, Uncle Kun!" Manager Lu nodded.
Sheng Wanrou poured tea for Manager Lu.
"I looked at the statements and account books of South Street yesterday and found that this profit is different from what the third brother reported to my eldest brother. Sheng Wanrou got straight to the point.
Manager Lu didn't have any expression and listened quietly.
"Manager Lu, do you know what the shops on South Street are?" Sheng Wanrou asked.
"It's Miss Seven's dowry. Manager Lu said.
"My third brother is in charge of the business in the Northeast, and the specific operation of Jiangcheng depends on you. You've been in our Sheng family for a few years, and you know what it means to make fake accounts!" Sheng Wanrou asked.
"This is the real situation of Nanjie! When the third young master reported to the eldest young master, Nanjie's profits were indeed considerable. But since last year, the marshal has led his troops to fight a lot of battles. There are a lot of taxes to be paid each time. Manager Lu said.
Sheng Wanrou chose to listen.
"Every time there is a war, the merchant's business suffers. Jiangcheng is the fat meat that many people are aiming at. The third young master also used other profits to make up for it when he reported the accounts for the sake of not losing Miss Seven's industry. This is not strictly speaking, it is not a false account. Manager Lu said.
"What does Manager Lu mean that my own family industry can not have such strict requirements for financial accuracy?" Sheng Wanrou asked rhetorically.
"No, Miss Seven! As long as it is a business, it must be run strictly according to the standards of business. Manager Lu said.
"I'm fine today, you take me and Yu'er to South Street to have a look. "Sheng Wan judo.
"Miss Seven is going to South Street?" asked Manager Lu.
"Yes, I have been abroad for so many years, and South Street is the dowry given to me by my parents. This is related to my confidence in my mother-in-law's family in the future, and it is also related to my status in front of my husband, I must be cautious. "Sheng Wan judo.
"Okay, I'll take Miss Seven to have a look. Manager Lu agreed.
Saying that, Sheng Wanrou changed her clothes and followed Manager Lu to South Street with Yu'er.
After they left, Uncle Kun hurriedly called Sheng Jingzhi.
Sheng Wanrou took the family's carriage and came to South Street with Manager Lu.
South Street is indeed prosperous, with truckloads of goods coming in and out, and merchants coming and going from different countries. They were all well-dressed, and they all came out and went in for a lot of money.
Sheng Wanrou looked at the prosperity of South Street, and felt very uncomfortable thinking about the data in the report.
