stayed in Aunt Xue's bedroom for nearly an hour, and then repaid the loan, and Jia Weili resigned.

Baochai got up to send him off.

She had to stay with her mother tonight, so she couldn't go back to the garden with Jia Wei.

Sent to the edge of the second gate, stopped, Jia Wei said goodbye to her, and was about to turn around and leave, at this time Baochai called softly, "Wait." ”

"What's the matter with my sister?" Jia Wei was stunned, and his eyes were cast.

"Brother Bao, there is a sentence I don't know whether to ask or not?"

"Oh? What's the matter, sister, but it's okay to ask. ”

"Then I'll get straight to the point. Brother Bao, did you already know about the matter of Haimao, brother? Baochai asked lightly, looking up at Jia Wei slightly, this nearly sixteen-year-old boy, in this year, his head has soared, almost half a head taller than her, and at this time last year, it only reached her ears.

Hearing this, his heart jumped, Jia Wei subconsciously lowered his eyes, and his face was hot.

I thought that I was covering it up well, and I made eye contact with Xue Pan unconsciously, but in the end, Baochai was aware of it.

"Brother Bao, don't blame yourself, I know your personality very well, you didn't tell me about this, I think there must be some reason. In fact, I can guess that even if we tell in advance, our wife and I will be worried in vain, but to no avail, so it is better not to tell us, but this is the case? Seeing that Jia Wei was silent and embarrassed, Baochai's eyes turned on his face, and he said in a calm tone.

This woman ...... Jia Wei couldn't help but be surprised, the other party's mind was delicate, beyond his imagination, not only aware that he might know, but also further insight into his thoughts, really smart.

After being surprised, I was moved.

The other party is empathetic, especially the sentence "I know your personality very well", which is even more heartwarming.

Raising his face, Jia Wei's eyes touched her, and then nodded.

Confirming the conjecture in his heart, Baochai sighed lightly, "Since my brother took over the family's business, there is no appearance of doing business, and the shops in Liangjing have always been confused, our wife and I are very clear about this, but we are helpless, this sea trade, my brother is even more confused and picked up, and he lost a lot of money in vain. ”

Jia Wei listened quietly, was silent for a while, and said, "My sister is very worried. Brother Xue is a hands-off shopkeeper on weekdays, but when he shouldn't make a decision, he makes a decision indiscriminately, just take this sea trade as an example, I persuaded him four times, but he didn't listen at all. Brother Xue has such a temperament, it is indeed difficult for your family's business to maintain. ”

"Why did Brother Bao teach me?"

Continuing Jia Wei's words, Baochai asked suddenly, his tone paused, and he added, "You are a big expert in business." ”

When she said this, Jia Wei's heart moved slightly, and she couldn't help but think that this might be what the other party really wanted to ask, and Shicai's words were just an introduction.

In other words, Baochai came to him for advice.

To be honest, he has always been too lazy to pay attention to Xue Pan's business, let alone mix it, after all, business is other people's business, not to mention that Xue Pan will not listen to him, but at this time, Baochai took the initiative to ask, it is different, he can't ignore it.

It's just that this matter seems simple, but it is not.

The Xue family's business is half royal procurement, half of the two Beijing shops, the former is a steady profit, and the latter is almost risky because they are all prosperous shops, so there is no problem with the wide flow of money, there is no doubt about it.

But this is only one aspect, on the other hand, Xue Pan became the shopkeeper, the management was a mess, and the shopkeepers and guys below were all up and down, filling their own pockets, and in the long run, where is there any profit at all? On the contrary, it can only be a continuous shrinkage of assets.

Therefore, the two are combined, and for an analysis, for the Xue family's business, there is no need to consider its profitability at all, and part of the comprehensive management can also be ignored, and the key lies in personnel management and account management.

When it comes to personnel and finance, it is precisely the most complex.

Not to mention, the Xue family's business is completely managed by domestic servants, and the interests are related and intertwined, which is even more complicated.

In his opinion, if you want to start managing it, outsiders should not intervene.

Otherwise, not only Xue Pan himself is reluctant, but the shopkeepers and guys below are bound to be passive and slack, and even rebound strongly.

This suitable candidate can only be found in the Xue family.

Here's the difficulty.

At the moment, there is no suitable candidate. Aunt Xue is nearly forty years old and has limited energy, so it is quite difficult to take over the business at this time; Baochai can easily do it, but a girl to be married, she will marry if she says she will marry, which will undoubtedly not work.

After pondering for a long time, filtering through his mind over and over again, Jia Wei finally thought of a candidate who might be the right person.

The reason why it is possible is that this candidate is not very certain.

This person is Chen Xiaoqing.

In his thoughts, if Chen Xiaoqing really marries, he can intervene in this matter as the main mother, not only the shopkeepers and guys below dare not oppose him, but even Xue Pan has to bow his head, after all, Chen Xiaoqing can govern him.

In addition, Chen Xiaoqing is not afraid to show her head and is not afraid to deal with men, although she is a daughter, there is no obstacle to management, which is obviously a big advantage.

Therefore, no matter from any point of view, she is a perfect candidate.

But this one chooses ...... I can't be sure.

Even if there is a certainty of seven or eight points, there are always two or three points hanging.

After thinking about it like this, Jia Wei said to Baochai, "...... Since my sister asked me, then I don't dare to shirk it, some ideas are only for my sister's reference......" said, and then sorted out the ideas of the appropriate talents, from the analysis of the Xue family's business, to the key points, and then to the delineation of Chen Xiaoqing, the candidate, in detail.

Baochai listened carefully, then pondered for a while, nodded and said, "Thank you, Brother Bao." As you said, this matter will definitely fall on Sister Xiaoqing, and it will not be possible to change to another one. ”

"Sister is polite, with my sister's intelligence, it is not difficult to think of this, but it is chaotic if I care about it for a while." Seeing that Baochai completely agreed, Jia Wei responded with a smile, and at this time, the topic had been talked about here, so he took advantage of the situation and asked, "Well, Miss Chen's side...... How prepared is my aunt for the door-to-door proposal? ”

"Soon, I heard from our wife, we have found the official media, and in two or three days, we will be able to come to the door."

Hearing Jia Wei praise her for her intelligence in person, two red clouds flew up on Baochai's pale face, and she replied in a brisk tone with a burst of sweetness in her heart.

"Really? Then I'll wait to hear the good news. ”

A few days ago, due to the approaching wax moon and the approaching New Year, Chen Xiaoqing had left the garden and returned to the residence of his uncle Chen.

Before leaving, he mentioned that after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, he would return to Suzhou, and he would come back to say goodbye to everyone.

In this case, Chen Xiaoqing's stay in Yanjing will not exceed two months, and the Xue family's proposal must be carried out as soon as possible.

Speaking of which, just last month, Shopkeeper Chen had exchanged letters with his brother, as Shopkeeper Chen expected, his brother and sister-in-law were quite satisfied with this family business, and then he informed Jia Wei, and Jia Wei turned to Aunt Xue and Baochai to talk.

Everything is all right, now it only depends on Chen Xiaoqing's own meaning.

If Chen Xiaoqing returns to Suzhou, the letter from Chen's shopkeeper will come and go, and it will be delayed for at least nearly a month.

lingered on this topic for a while, and heard the bangzi in the distance knock on the second watch, the two stopped talking, Jia Wei waved his hand at Baochai, and went out of the second door.

All the way out of the courtyard gate, the empty road is empty, the lights of the courtyard everywhere are extended, the stars are dotted, the pear fragrance courtyard next to it is still noisy and lively, Jia Wei returned from the way he came, and slowly went to the garden.

Looking back on the scene of tonight, I am emotional.

Baochai is acting in front of Chen Xiaoqing, and he is acting in front of Aunt Xue and Baochai tonight.

It's just that Chen Xiaoqing didn't know anything, but he made Baochai aware of it.

But in any case, in the entanglement of all kinds of personnel, perhaps just like the couplet posted in front of the gate of Lixiangyuan - "Life is like a play, and drama is like life"?

Especially himself, in his past and present lives, as a human being in two lives, he was reborn into the world of this Dream of Red Mansions, in fact, from the beginning to the present, he has always been acting in one scene after another.

In these scenes, he changed the trajectory of the fate of some people, but in the next big scenes, can he change the trajectory of the fate of more people?

It was hard for him to answer himself.
