Chapter 18: Escort Him Down

Wei Furen jumped to his feet anxiously, but Ji Yanning sat on the main seat and did not move.

"We're in business, and we're looking at profit," she said. Isn't it ridiculous that the shopkeeper said that he didn't look at the merit and hard work? If so, it would be better to let a few beggars come to see the shop, they might be even harder than the shopkeeper Wei!"

"Poofโ€”" Someone couldn't help but laugh.

This little girl has sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, and even compares Wei Furen to a beggar who asks for food.

Wei Furen couldn't bear it, he said angrily: "I, Wei Furen, call you a young owner, for the sake of the old owner's face, but if you treat us like this, the old shopkeeper who has worked hard for Baochang Ji, it is really chilling." โ€

Ji Yanning's face did not change and said, "So what?"

"If we don't let the rest of the Ji family come out to preside over Baochang Ji, we, the shopkeepers, will never agree. Wei Furen pouted.

Ji Yanning smiled: "What if you don't agree?"

The hall was quiet, I didn't expect Wei Furen to be so aggressive, and the eldest lady could still laugh.

Wei Furen turned his head to stare at her, as if he wanted to see a hint of panic on her face, but unfortunately he didn't.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Otherwise, we, the shopkeepers, will collectively resign and leave Baochang Ji." With a boss like you, what kind of life can Bao Chang Kee have?"

Ji Yanning listened to his words and smiled even more, she was already good-looking, and when she laughed like this, it was like a flower swaying and blooming on the branches, gorgeous and dazzling, and people couldn't help but wink.

Just for a moment, she smiled again, her eyes wandered around the hall, looked at each shopkeeper, and asked, "Does anyone want to resign with Shopkeeper Wei?" If you have the same opinion as Shopkeeper Wei, you might as well make a sound." โ€

Before everyone could react, her tone suddenly turned into a thousand-year-old ice, bitterly cold.

Originally, there were one or two shopkeepers who wanted to echo Wei Furen, but looking at Ji Yanning's face, he was forced to hold back.

Which one of you here is not an old fritter, the eldest lady is now the owner of this Baochang Ji, if she opens her mouth to dismiss these shopkeepers, it is just a matter of one sentence, they want to use this to blackmail the eldest lady, and people will not buy it at all.

Wei Furen stood in place awkwardly, he glanced at the people who had sworn to suppress the eldest lady with him yesterday, but now they were like turtles with shrunken heads, and they didn't even dare to fart.

Ji Yanning's gaze returned to Wei Furen's body: "Since Shopkeeper Wei is so eager to resign, then I will fulfill you, and from today onwards, you will no longer be my Baochang Ji." โ€

"Why are you doing this!" Wei Furen was anxious, he just wanted to scare and scare Ji Yanning, after all, now that Baochang Ji is the time to employ people, if someone asks for resignation, she should be nervous, how could he really remove him from his position as the shopkeeper!

Ji Yanning looked at him with a puzzled expression: "You asked a strange question, obviously you took the initiative to resign." โ€

Wei Furen was annoyed in his heart, but now he knew that he couldn't force himself with Ji Yanning, so he could only soften and say: "I didn't say it, I'm just worried that the eldest lady won't be able to handle the matter of Baochang Ji well, so I suggested that your elders manage Baochang Ji together." โ€

"You really think that you are a noble person who forgets things, and what you just said before will be forgotten in a blink of an eye. Ji Yanning said, "But I'm different from you, I can remember what I said clearly, saying that if I don't want you, I don't want you." โ€

Ji Lang turned his head to look at his sister in surprise, she was so strong, and it was natural to be strong.

Wei Furen's face turned red instantly, and he would never have thought that he would be suppressed by a yellow-haired girl and speechless.

He didn't plan to endure it anymore, glared at Ji Yanning and said, "It's okay for me to go, but I have paid a lot to Baochang Ji in the past few years, and even if I leave, I will take away the part I deserve." โ€

"Come on, escort him down for me!" Ji Yanning shouted towards the door.

Suddenly, five or six guards came in from outside, stepped forward and grabbed Wei Furen, and then kicked him at the joint, making him kneel down towards Ji Yanning.

Everyone in the hall was so frightened by this posture that they stood up directly, and looked at Ji Yanning a little bewildered.

Ji Yanning picked up the teacup in his hand, took a sip gently, and then said, "Rest assured, the shopkeeper, Miss Ben is just dealing with thieves,"

"What a thief, Ji Yanning, you wild girl, you dare to do this to me!" Wei Furen scolded angrily, "I'm just against you being the owner, are you so weak that you want to kill people?

Wei Furen, who was caught, did not choose to speak, and he could say anything.

He continued to scold: "You calamity, you killed your own parents, and almost killed the young master, Baochang Ji will be destroyed sooner or later in your hands......"

The guard gagged Wei Furen's mouth with a rag, and he could only stare at Ji Yanning with a struggle, as if he was going to eat her.

Ji Yanning slowly put the teacup on the table, and then said, "I originally wanted to give you decency, since you are so ignorant, I don't have to be so merciful to you." โ€

She glanced at Ziyu and asked her to bring the account books.

Ji Yanning looked up at the other shopkeepers and said, "I'll tell you now why you want to take Wei Furen down." โ€

Some shopkeepers just wanted to say a few words, but they were afraid that she would use the same means against themselves, so they could only sit down and listen to her words.

"This is the account book of the Dongwu County shop in the past two years, as well as the records of the import and export of goods, as well as the transfer records of the Dongwu County shops recorded by Baochang Ji Silk Village, as well as the purchase records of the merchants contacted by Dongwu County in other shops. On the table next to Ji Yanning, there were a bunch of books, and she pointed to them and said.

"Since Wei Furen served as the shopkeeper of Dongwu County, the profits of this Dongwu County have decreased a lot, and there is not even a profit in the off-season, is this really the case?" Ji Yanning's tone was light, and the words she said made Wei Furen break out in a cold sweat, she continued, "Your fake account is doing well, there is nothing wrong with it at a glance, but you can't delve into it, look at this, the record of December last year, there is a batch of Su Jin only sold at half the price, what's going on?"

Ji Yanning picked up the other half of the book, stood up, slowly walked in front of Wei Furen, half-bowed, pointed to the record on it, and asked him: "And here, how is the number of blue brocade horses shipped from the silk village to Dongwu County different from what you recorded?"

Wei Furen looked at Ji Yanning in front of him, and finally stopped struggling.

The corners of Ji Yanning's lips hooked up a sarcastic smile, and put the account book in his hand back on the table: "Not only the two I just said, your account book is full of loopholes, every month since you became the treasurer, you have fished a lot of oil and water from Baochang Ji, if you calculate it carefully, I am afraid it is an amazing number." โ€
