Chapter 40: Don't Come in the Afternoon

"It's not a day or two since you have done things for the Shen family, and it's not the first time you've done things under my hands. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Then, Shen Zhaoyan clicked the name of the shopkeeper, frowned and said: "I remember the regular meeting five months ago, I asked you such a question, why do you still commit today?" ”

The shopkeeper suddenly sweated on his forehead and stood up. Under Shen Zhaoyan's sharp gaze, he really couldn't find an excuse, so he had to bow his head and admit his mistake and promise never to do it again in the future.

Who would have thought that Shen Zhaoyan still remembered the little problem five months ago?

Zhong Liyue couldn't help but admire his superb memory and meticulous thinking.

After the time of a pillar of incense passed, Shen Zhaoyan pointed the names of the two people, and then raised his left hand, and Mingde immediately took out two red envelopes from the cloth bag on the side and put them on the palm of his hand.

An older and a young shopkeeper were praised by Shen Zhaoyan, and the red envelope was used as a prize, which greatly affirmed their recent work performance. The other eight shopkeepers who didn't get the red envelopes had different expressions on their faces, some were happy for them, and some sighed secretly.

Shen Zhaoyan glanced at them silently, taking in their respective expressions one by one.

When his eyes brushed over Zhong Liyue, he couldn't help but pause. She was staring at the hands of the two shopkeepers holding the red envelopes with bright eyes, and she knew from her expression what she was thinking at this moment.

Shen Zhaoyan couldn't help but smile at the corners of his lips.

Everyone was stunned and looked at Shen Zhaoyan in surprise.

The eldest young master has presided over the regular meeting for several years, and every time he is either pale and indifferent, or angry or angry, he rarely shapes the emotions in his heart on his face. It's really rare to see someone smiling like this. Everyone secretly looked at each other, and they were all guessing what the eldest young master's smile meant.

"If you don't have anything to report, just step down!" Shen Zhaoyan had already regained his original expression and said loudly.

The crowd immediately stood up and gave up.

Chun Qiao took advantage of this time to take the four maids to the door, and Chun Qiao instructed Zhong Liyue: "Go outside the yard and call the ice worker!" ”

"Okay." Zhong Liyue came to the courtyard with a trot, and the ice workers also happened to arrive with a cart. Without the maid inside, outsiders are not allowed to enter the bamboo garden.

The ice has been divided into eight pots by the ice-chiseling workers. Outside the door of the antechamber, several maids began to vigorously carry inside.

There were two pots behind the eldest young master, one pot behind the second young master, and the remaining five pots were placed around the inside of the room.

At this time, another group of shopkeepers had already taken their seats, and several people moved the ice cubes and quickly returned to their jobs. Zhong Liyue's forehead was covered with dense beads of sweat, and she didn't dare to gasp for breath a few times.

It wasn't much cooler in the room, as it was closer to noon and the temperature was already several degrees warmer than in the morning. So after putting the ice cubes, I can only feel the same as before.

How nice it would be if there was central air conditioning!

Zhong Liyue felt that her horse was about to suffer from heat stroke. Looking at the two young masters Shen Zhaoyan and Shen Jinyan again, they were sitting precariously, with no boredom on their faces, and not a drop of sweat on their foreheads, and the ice cubes seemed to play a great role in them. However, in such a midsummer season, only the big boss can do it without showing his arms or legs, and he can still straighten his waist and maintain his demeanor.

The house is constantly changing batches of shopkeepers, most of them are as if they are routine, mechanically reporting the work of the past month, and a few young shopkeepers are enthusiastically putting forward suggestions for the development of the store, and even doing detailed planning steps.

Hearing the bold words of the young shopkeeper with lofty ideals, several older shopkeepers frowned, revealing impatience. But Shen Zhaoyan didn't stop it, didn't interrupt, let alone make any blows, listened quietly, waited for him to finish, and then carefully helped him analyze whether the plan he proposed was feasible.

But that's not the case at all. After someone put forward a plan, they were immediately rejected by Shen Zhaoyan.

Judging from these points, Zhong Liyue believes that Shen Zhaoyan is cultivating young people who he is optimistic about, so as to tap out henchmen with potential. For the old employees who rely on the old and sell the old, he either blows or praises, rewards and depreciations, and is impartial, so that people can't figure out what he thinks in his heart.

Several shopkeepers supported their foreheads from time to time, sighing, and showing a look of embarrassment. Shen Zhaoyan always maintained the state of the morning, and did not show any tiredness.

In just half a day, Zhong Liyue understood the burden of being a family member, and in the face of such pressure, Shen Zhaoyan's magnificent spirit, and also saw the grandeur of the Shen family's business territory.

The Shen family made a fortune in silk in the early years, and after four generations, they gradually expanded the industries involved, and almost all of the most profitable industries such as cloth villages, silver houses, wine shops, inns, porcelain, and dyes were involved in the Shen family.

From the rough calculation of the monthly income and expenditure reported by the shopkeepers one after another, Zhong Liyue has a general understanding of the wealth and status that the Shen family now has, and at the same time, she has also analyzed a lot of information about the current business environment from these information. This will be of great help to her in the future business.

If you can participate in the gathering of the bigwigs of Huanguo again and listen to the opinions of other rich people on business, I believe you will be able to capture more useful information.

Glancing at Shen Zhaoyan, with him, such an occasion must be indispensable, and she has to work hard for him to take her.

Zhong Liyue thought happily in her heart, and the work at hand was not slacking off at all, which can be described as both working and listening.

It's noon in the blink of an eye.

After the shopkeepers left, Chun Qiao began to order the preparation of lunch.

"Big brother, then I'll go back and take a nap and come back in the afternoon." Shen Jinyan got up and said softly to Shen Zhaoyan.

Shen Zhaoyan nodded, "If you feel that the heat is unbearable, don't come here in the afternoon, it's all inconsequential anyway." ”

A trace of hurt expression crossed Shen Jinyan's face, and he was silent for a moment, a smile appeared on his white face, with a bleak and sad beauty, "Okay." ”

How pitiful!

Zhong Liyue saw this scene and sighed secretly.

After serving the eldest young master for lunch, the five maids began to get busy again. Changing the ice basin, brushing the teacups, boiling hot water, they didn't stop until they went to work in the afternoon.

After a while, the quiet bamboo garden began to boil again.

The shopkeepers and the maids outside the door changed another batch, and the five maids serving tea inside were still Chun Qiao, and the position they stood was the same as in the morning.

The second young master did not appear, but this did not affect the normal holding of the regular meeting.

The regular meeting in the afternoon seemed to be more intense than in the morning, and the shopkeepers who came were no different in age from those in the morning, but most of the shops they managed were financial, and in addition to managing their own store business, they also had the power to supervise the entry and exit of other stores of the Shen family.

"Young Master, I heard that this batch of goods transported by water has been robbed again. The old servant thought that the waterway might as well wait. The recent goods of the major shops are very tight, the last time has been in full swing to extract the goods, it is not easy to ease up, if there is such a phenomenon in the near future, I am afraid that the spot in the store will not be in supply. A middle-aged shopkeeper in his forties said.

As soon as he said this, three shopkeepers immediately followed.
