Chapter 156: A New Collaboration (1)
Huaxi Pavilion.
Yao's came early, and Wang Wenxuan naturally followed, and she also wanted to get the embroidered handkerchief sent by Lin Xiaowan as soon as possible.
As for the Yao family, there are two things to talk about with Lin Xiaowan.
But in her consciousness, even if there was nothing to discuss, she still had to come to Huaxi Pavilion for a visit.
It seems to have become a habit.
Shopkeeper Tong didn't expect Yao to come so early, and when he saw her, he was a little surprised, but soon returned to normal. He ordered tea and pastries to be served, and then followed him upstairs and into the cubicle.
He held the account book in his hand, waited for Yao to sit down, handed it over respectfully, and said, "Madam, this is the account of the last month, you can count it first." ”
After Yao took it, he put it on the table directly, and he didn't look at it, but just said to the shopkeeper Tong: "You are here, I don't worry." ”
"Thank you, ma'am, for your trust." The shopkeeper Tong owes a debt and said.
Yao nodded, waved his hand at the shopkeeper Tong and said, "It's not the first day again, how can there be so many rules." Have a seat. ”
Shopkeeper Tong sat down as he said and reported the recent situation of Huaxi Pavilion to the Yao family.
Business is the norm, there are no mistakes, no major events, nothing to say. It's just that Kong Manhan has to talk about it in detail.
After listening to the shopkeeper Tong, Yao was not annoyed or angry, and still looked light-hearted.
She smiled indifferently and said, "This Kong Manhan is really not satisfied. If it weren't for her uncle's face, I wouldn't have had a chance for her to make money. Do you still want to occupy my properties? ”
The shopkeeper Tong said: "I don't think she should dare to do anything, otherwise she wouldn't have come to Huaxi Pavilion to cry miserably, and pour bitter water." ”
"What is she so bitter, if she hadn't been angry all these years, I think her Kong family's family business would have doubled. Now I'm crying and making trouble, and I don't know where the face came from. Yao said.
In and out of her words, she revealed her dissatisfaction with this Kong Manhan.
The cheap is not less, and the business is not big at all. If you don't care about your own business, you count on the help of others. If it weren't for the fact that there were one or two people under her hand who could do things, it was estimated that the huge family business would have to ruin her.
And Yao also heard that this Kong Manhan's private life is not very scrupulous. Since I took a break from the family before, I have been sleeping in the willows, and I don't know what I think.
The family has said a few times that her uncle has also used all kinds of methods, both soft and hard, but it has no effect at all.
When chatting in the house, when talking about Kong Manhan, her uncle only said: "No one in the family can count on it, she is the only one, although she is a daughter, but she can also take care of things." The temperament is a little worse, and it's better than no one is available. ”
Yao didn't think it made sense at the time, but Kong Manhan's uncle said, "I'm getting older, and my health is getting worse and worse. I don't need to be told by the doctor, I can guess what the situation is. I don't have the strength to run around...... There is not much time left for me to leave, and the sooner she can carry the burden, I will be able to watch one more day. ”
The old man's helplessness was all in these short words and his expression.
So even if she can't do it, Yao will not completely replace her.
It's hard to read anyone's scriptures.
Wang Wenxuan didn't know much about Kong Manhan, but she had met a few times. I know a lot about her temperament, and at this time, I heard Yao and the shopkeeper Tong talking about her, and I couldn't help but interject: "This Aunt Kong, I guess I think she is her mother all over the world.
"Wen Xuan!" Yao glared at Wang Wenxuan and reprimanded.
Everyone should have the appearance of everyone's girlfriends, and you have to pay attention to conversation and etiquette.
Wang Wenxuan playfully shrunk her neck, stuck out her tongue, and hid aside to continue eating pastries.
Shopkeeper Tong also agreed with what Yao said, and he also said that he had made it clear to her about the two businesses. So, there shouldn't be any problems with this one.
After all, as Shopkeeper Tong said, Kong Manhan now earns no less money in Yao's hands than before.
Not only did I earn a lot, but I also felt a lot easier overall.
As long as you are not a fool, go back and ask your own bookkeeper casually, and Kong Manhan will be able to understand it thoroughly.
Originally, the shopkeeper Tong was not worried about this, he said to Yao: "It's just that I have a bad premonition, I think that Boss Kong may make some stumbling blocks on Xiaowan's girl." ”
"Xiaowan?" Yao was puzzled.
"Yes. The meaning of the day she came was that if it weren't for Lin Xiaowan, she wouldn't have been kicked out of Huaxi Pavilion at all. Therefore, the culprit must be Lin Xiaowan. ”
"As long as Lin Xiaowan is kicked out, then she will definitely have a chance."
Shopkeeper Tong's words caused Yao to fall into a brief silence, and she was considering the possibility.
It's just that she just thought about it, and heard Wang Wenxuan say: "Well, Kong Manhan's words must be done." ”
Yao stretched his hand and patted Wang Wenxuan: "Adults talk, children don't always interject and eat your pastries." ”
Wang Wenxuan pouted, her big eyes rolling.
"It's a possibility." Yao said thoughtfully.
She was thinking, how did Kong Manhan know? On the surface, she and Lin Xiaowan are just a transaction of embroidered handkerchiefs.
As if he knew what the Yao family was thinking, the shopkeeper Tong said: "Boss Kong has been dealing with Huaxi Pavilion for so many years, and he has long been familiar with the people here. Lin Xiaowan's dealings with us are not an absolute secret, someone will always know. So ......"
Listening to what the shopkeeper Tong said, there is really nothing to worry about.
While they were chatting, Lin Xiaowan and the three of them had already arrived at Huaxi Pavilion.
After going in and shaking around, she didn't see anyone, so Lin Xiaowan could only ask Guo Chengling to unload the things first, then move them to the house, and let him go.
They still agreed to meet at the place where the stalls were set up in the market.
When Guo Chengling left, Lin Xiaowan pulled Liu into the door, and then saw the guy coming in from behind.
"Boss Lin, you're here." The man came forward with great discernment and led the man in, and said, "The shopkeeper and the lady are upstairs." They told you to take you up if you came. ”
Lin Xiaowan was a little uncomfortable being shouted by the guy on the left and the boss on the right, she said, "You just call me Xiaowan." ”
"Okay." Said the guy. Only then did he notice the goods placed by the door, and hurriedly explained: "Look at me, I'm busy in the back." These are the things you can move in on your own. ”
"It's fine." Lin Xiaowan smiled, "Then let's go up first." ”
went upstairs, stood at the top of the stairs, and heard the sound of Yao and Tong's shopkeeper talking. I walked to the door and knocked on it three times.
"Come in."
It was Yao's voice.
Lin Xiaowan pushed the door and entered, and saw Wang Wenxuan sitting on the outermost side, turning her head to look at her, with a piece of pastry in her mouth. It looks very cute.
Although she knew that the Yao family was there, Lin Xiaowan still asked in surprise: "Why did Mrs. and Miss come so early today?" ”
"It's always not good to keep you waiting every time." Yao responded casually, and when he saw Liu behind Lin Xiaowan, he smiled clearly, "Xiaowan, this is Ling Tang, right?" ”
Lin Xiaowan pulled Liu forward and responded generously: "Yes, madam, this is my mother, Liu Xiurong." ”
turned to Liu, "Mother, this is Mrs. Yao, and this is her daughter, Miss Wenxuan Wang." This is the shopkeeper Tong who saw that you embroidered a good handkerchief at that time. ”
Lin Xiaowan introduced them one by one, and Liu bowed slightly one by one.
When she got to the hurdle, her nervousness came out again.
In comparison, Yao's generosity is more prominent. didn't hold the shelf, got up and said to Liu Xiurong and Lin Xiaowan: "You two sit down first, drink some tea and moisten your throat." I must be thirsty when I came here. ”
The shopkeeper Tong had already poured the tea, and the teacup was placed in front of the two of them.
Wang Wenxuan tilted her head to look at Yao at this time, and when she stopped talking, she asked, "Mother, are you going to talk about business?" Can I go down first and pick an embroidered handkerchief? ”
"What's the hurry?" Yao Shi said angrily, "You don't even say hello when you see your elders, what kind of etiquette and morality do you usually practice?" ”
Wang Wenxuan obediently turned to Liu, "Aunt Liu, hello." I just like your embroidered veil so much, seeing you and Sister Xiaowan coming, I can't wait to pick the veil, I forgot to say hello to you, I hope you don't blame. ”
Seeing Wang Wenxuan like this, Liu was also happy in his heart. I like this child's innocence very much.
She said, "How can it be, it's too late for Miss to be happy that she likes my embroidered handkerchief so much." ”
