Chapter 102: Dismissal
When she was in the Lin Mansion, Mei Xueyan had the protection of Mrs. Lin, and the Lu family was not allowed to make trouble, so the Shen family wanted to drive her out of the Lin Mansion and got in the way, and now Mei Xueyan is a lonely person, and the Shen family feels that she is the young lady of the Lin family, and she can't handle her?
When Shen heard that it was Mei Xueyan who was in the bookstore, and Lin Rongchang was transferred at a price of four hundred taels, Shen scolded Lin Rongchang for being a loser, and rushed to investigate. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"I don't know where the remaining three hundred taels came from, young lady, please explain in detail."
Mei Xueyan asked quietly, the shopkeeper and the guys were looking outside the back room, listening carefully to the movement here.
"The second master transferred the bookstore, but the faΓ§ade is still my Lin family, three hundred and twenty a year, I should collect this rent, right?"
Shen looked at Mei Xueyan and didn't see any change in her expression, still calm.
After a while, Mei Xueyan nodded and said, "In this way, it is appropriate to pay the rent of the shop, and the young lady is not wrong."
Shen was about to continue, anyway, she couldn't let her pick up a big bargain for nothing, but she didn't expect her to agree so happily, which caught Shen off guard.
Naturally, Shen immediately became alert, could it be that she was tired?
"By the way, young lady, I only ordered the shop, the former guy in charge of the bookstore, please take it away, if not, then just resign."
Mei Xueyan used to be convenient, the guys were all familiar, and Mei Xueyan didn't have to recruit people anymore, but now it seems that she still doesn't have to worry about using it, in case she inserts a nail in the Shen family and makes some trouble, and the business doesn't have to be done.
"Huh?"
Shen Shi came even more unexpectedly, she came today, first, to ask for money, and to extort a sum of money to relieve her anger, and secondly, she couldn't let Mei Xueyan take over the shop so smoothly.
"Didn't the young lady hear clearly? I just said that I don't want all the guys and stewards, since it is a person from the former owner, of course, it is handed over to the former owner to dispose of, and it is up to the young lady to make the decision herself. β
Shen still thought that he had heard it wrong, Mei Xueyan didn't want anyone, how could she still open this bookstore?
The Shen family was sure that Mei Xueyan was short of people, so she boldly came to ask for someone, and Mei Xueyan could only beg her and take the opportunity to extort another sum of silver. In fact, what use can Shen have if he wants these guys? The other shops were also full, and she couldn't take them back to the Lin Mansion to eat and drink for nothing.
As a result, before Shen could speak, Mei Xueyan first proposed that no one should come, which made her plan fall through.
I only heard Mei Xueyan say: "All the stewards and men are here, you have to make your own decisions about this matter, your owner will transfer the bookstore to me, but I am full and no longer recruiting, so do you quit your job, or go with the owner?"
The stewards all came out, but no one had expressed their position, and they all looked at the shopkeeper Xu Tai.
Xu Tai is in his early forties, wearing a coat and a small felt hat, and he usually takes care of his buddies, so he has some prestige.
"Hey! Wait a minute! β
Shen was anxious, she had no place to take back such a group of people, after all, the bookstore was originally the property of the second room, and these people were also the guys of the second room, and now the bookstore is gone, she doesn't want to raise these people for nothing, even if she is too much of a house slave.
A shopkeeper and a housekeeper have six men, but they don't need to pay for her to eat poorly, but this kind of guy is from a poor family, and the amount of food is very large.
"Zhaoxiong, Zhaohua, you two brothers, I will arrange a place for you to go, the others are scattered, I don't have much food to feed you."
"Yes! We brothers listened to the young lady's orders. β
These two brothers are distant relatives of the Shen family, and with the care of the Shen family, they naturally do not worry about being dismissed, and the two of them stood behind the Shen family and looked at the rest of them proudly.
Two of the guys couldn't stand still and clenched their fists and cursed.
"Dongjia, we still call you Dongjia, we do the hard work every day, what about the two Zhaoxiong brothers? I'm so idle, I've never contributed to the book! Now that you have quit your job, it is time to pay us back the wages owed to us, right? β
"Yes, the copper plate we receive every month is still deducted from the shopkeeper's salary, if it weren't for the shopkeeper, we wouldn't even be able to pay the tuition fees for the school!"
"Take us as cattle and horses, and the dignified Lin Mansion is not willing to give even a few copper coins? We went to the Lin Mansion to theorize, we couldn't even enter the door, those dog minions let us drill the dog hole, I have long had enough, the Lin family is a group of blood-sucking leeches! A beast that eats people and doesn't spit out bones! β
The two scolded ugly, and Shen's face sank.
"What an ungrateful dog, eating the Lin family's and drinking the Lin family all these years, this time it is cursing the master, Zhaoxiong Zhaohua, beat them out for me!"
The two pushed and shoved, and said, "You don't need to rush, we will go!"
Shen drove the two away, his chest rose and fell in anger, and it took a while to calm down.
Mei Xueyan watched coldly and didn't say anything, Chen Junsheng whispered a few words to her.
"I also didn't have a salary before, but at that time, the owner was not Second Master Lin, so I didn't have to worry about food and housing, and I could still go to Lin's school and be in charge of Second Master Lin? After that, they were worse than the minions of the Lin Mansion. β
Shen asked coldly: "Shopkeeper Xu, you are the head of the Lin family, if you stay, Mrs. should give you a new errand, but there are only a few second-room properties, and you can't accept idlers."
Xu Tai arched his hand and said: "Thank you, young lady, I have the heart to retreat, I don't have the heart to do things for the Lin family, I will go to ask for resignation on Madame's side."
Xu Tai shook his head helplessly, if the owner was not the second room, he would naturally want to do it, but unfortunately Lin Erlang was just a loser, and the Shen family was mean and bitter, no matter what kind of business was tossed by the two of them, it would be very small, Xu Tai retreated, and did not want to follow such an owner.
When the steward heard that Xu Tai was leaving, two lights appeared in his eyes, wouldn't this be his once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?
"Young lady! I am willing to follow the young lady and the second master, some people are ungrateful, but I am loyal to the young lady and the second master! β
"Yes, then you can stay." Shen said with satisfaction, "What about the two of you?" β
The remaining two men were twin brothers, but twelve or thirteen years old, and one of them was a little bolder.
"The owner, our two brothers were picked up in the snow by the shopkeeper in the winter of the year before last, we have been diligent in the past two years, and we have repaid the kindness of the Lin family, and the shopkeeper Xu is our benefactor, since he resigned, we also went with him."
Shen didn't stop him, but waved his handkerchief with some disgust.
"If you love it, let's go."
The Zhaoxiong brothers are relatives of the Shen family, and the stewards are flattering and utilitarian, the twins are grateful for their kindness, and the other two apprentices are too ordinary.
The so-called adversity sees the truth, a person's character is undoubtedly revealed at this moment, Mei Xueyan distinguishes them, and she can use people with confidence.
