Chapter 337: What's Happening Again?
Hearing Lu Yi's words, Bai Yulan finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Accompany me to the shop." ”
"Yes." Greenery responds.
Last night, Bai Yulan drew a lot of drawings, and she could have sent someone to deliver this pile of drawings, but for some reason, she still went there herself, just to take the opportunity to see the situation inside the store.
Lu Yi was the first to look at the drawings, she took out several of them, and after praising them, she conveyed a look of admiration to Bai Yulan, and said happily: "Madame is amazing, these are so beautiful, it is estimated that they will be sold out soon after they are listed." ”
"You choose one, and when the time comes, ask the shopkeeper to reserve one for you." Bai Yulan smiled faintly.
"Okay." Green agreed without even falling.
She chose a good one this time, it was a picture of green mountains and green waters and ladies, Bai Yulan nodded her forehead, and said: "I didn't expect the eyes of green to be more and more pointed, this work, I originally planned to make it into a series of sets, and it will definitely be a limited edition when the time comes, as the periphery of the screen." ”
Lvyi heard Bai Yulan praise her, and naturally she was also very happy, and said sweetly as soon as she was happy: "It's not because I've been following Mrs. for a long time, naturally I know some things, and my aesthetics have improved." ”
"It's really getting sweeter and sweeter, and I love to coax people." Bai Yulan covered her mouth and smiled.
I have to say that people do like to listen to those who are good and obedient.
"The shopkeeper in the store, I heard that he plans to change people recently?" Bai Yulan said suddenly.
Luyi looked dazed, why didn't she know about this?
"The slave hasn't heard of it."
Bai Yulan pursed her lips and didn't explain to her again, but instead lifted the sedan curtain with one hand, and looked out the window, her expression was a little dazed, there was a bustling crowd outside, all kinds of sellers, stalls, everywhere.
"The shopkeeper seems to be resigning himself, and I don't know who he has listened to." Bai Yulan said with some dissatisfaction.
This is the candidate for the shop that she personally picked up.
"By the way, has there been any letter from Brother Li?" Bai Yulan said suddenly.
Since Li Yongchang left the capital, he went to Jiangnan, and to this day, he has never returned, but the management of the shops in these two places is becoming more and more vigorous, they are a cooperative relationship, and the bigger the expansion of the industry, Li Yongchang intends to share a lot of benefits with her, but many industries and derivatives are divided very clearly.
"No, ma'am." Lu Yi blinked and said, "Hasn't Mr. Li been to the capital for a long time?" It seems that he is also very busy in Jiangnan, and he may not have exchanged any letters with his wife for a long time. ”
Bai Yulan replied lightly and said, "Get out of the car, I have to talk to the shopkeeper later, otherwise my store is missing him as a general, how can I do it?" ”
If you want to say that no matter how good the product is, it is not a good sales, it is equivalent to a vain, and if it cannot be promoted, it is useless.
Business in the store is still booming, and when the two of them went in as customers, they were crowded by these people.
The size of the store has not expanded at all, at least the main store, but there are some branches built in the capital, and she never thought that this expansion would increase the number of users and revenue, but this model of suppressing sales would attract more people.
Bai Yulan quickly found the shopkeeper and motioned to the little guy on the side: "I'll go to the back room with the shopkeeper to talk, and you guys will entertain in the front." ”
"Yes, ma'am." A group of small servants now recognize Bai Yulan's identity, naturally they have regained their former respect, and there are a lot of things to talk about, secretly saying that the identity of this lady is really unusual, she can always make trouble in the capital, and she has intersections with so many celebrities.
After Bai Yulan took the shopkeeper to the back room, she found a table and chair at random, sat face to face, and let Lu Yi stay outside the door of this room to guard the door, her right hand gently tapped on the table, making a crisp, rhythmic sound, da-da-da, as if knocking on people's hearts.
Her beautiful eyes swept away, and she said with a hint of fierceness, "Why do you suddenly want to resign?" Is it a problem at home? You never told Mrs. Ben about you, and you didn't tell her what was wrong. ”
The shopkeeper is still a young man, it is Bai Yulan who has changed from the older generation of shopkeepers to her small treasury manager, she was re-selected from that group of rising stars, in terms of sales ability in this business, it can be described as first-class, a mouth of the tongue lotus lotus.
Meng An felt very guilty and said, "Madam, this is indeed my own problem, and I am not capable of doing it. ”
"You've done a great job before." Bai Yulan looked directly at him, and paused word by word: "Mrs. Ben has never felt that your ability is not enough, but now, I hope you can still stay, you have adapted to the environment here, and you know these products well, I value your sales, performance, and character." ”
This Meng An, during the time he was the shopkeeper, there has never been a warehouse lost property, she also has a lot of nails, the account book here has never been really taken care of by a person, and she generally knows that Meng An will indeed not be greedy for more money, which makes her feel very gratified.
Meng An seemed to be provoked by Bai Yulan, he pursed his lips, his shoulders shrugged, as if he had encountered some great psychological breakdown.
"Madam, it's not that Meng An wants to leave by himself, but indeed as Mrs. said, Meng An's family has changed dramatically, Meng An is not a local person in the capital, but a businessman who came here, seeing that Mrs. has a good monthly salary here, so he came to work, but his home is in Huaibei, this year there was a sudden disaster at home, and his mother can't take care of himself at home, and there are many displaced people over there, natural disasters and man-made disasters are combined, and the pain is unspeakable, his wife and mother have no food to eat, no one takes care of the old and young women and children, and Meng An only goes to find them by himself."
At this point, Meng An's eyes were already red, like a collapse after a heavy blow.
The boy doesn't flick when he has tears, just because he hasn't reached the sad place.
Bai Yulan suddenly felt a little sympathetic to him, and she should also let him go, but she suddenly felt that she could help in her heart, after all, she was also the one who had been following her for so long.
"How about you bring your family to the capital, and I will settle them down?" Bai Yulan discussed: "There is an endless supply of rice and grain in this capital, at least it won't make them hungry. ”
Meng An stood up suddenly, and with a burst of ecstasy, he said, "Madam, you are really a living bodhisattva!" ”
At the end, he hesitated a little and said: "But, but there is a curfew in this capital, and now at this moment, the emperor has ordered that the exiles cannot be released into Kyoto, and almost all the victims are trapped in their original places, and the old people can only wait there to die." ”
"It's okay, Mrs. Ben will give you three days of vacation, give you people, you quickly bring your wife and dependents, with the Hou Ye here, I am not afraid of these people checking the post." Bai Yulan said lightly.
This is an abuse of her private power.
"Thank you, ma'am!" Meng An's face turned red, and he knelt on the ground suddenly, and said reverently: "My subordinates will definitely repay Madame well!" ”
"Just give me a good job, and then these accommodation fees will be deducted from your monthly salary." Bai Yulan said with a smile, went to help the person up, and said, "The man has gold under his knees, don't kneel casually in the future." ”
"Madame Bai and I have a great kindness, and I will always remember it in my heart!" Meng An bowed again.
This gift, Bai Yulan was a little uncomfortable to bear, after all, she still felt weird after these three knocks and nine bows.
"That's it, I'll go to the mansion today and send you two guards." Bai Yulan said, pointing to a pile of hand-painted paper on the table, and said with a smile: "These drawings must be done by capable craftsmen, and they must be done well. ”
"Thank you, ma'am!" Meng An said gratefully.
Bai Yulan waved her hand, pushed away the bench behind her, stood up, pushed open the door and went out.
Before leaving, he did not forget to explain: "You don't have to work for the next few days, so settle your family well." ”
She is a reasonable boss, and she treats her subordinates so dedicatedly, after all, she has always attached great importance to talents.
Cherish talents, cherish talents, this is the experience.
However, she suddenly remembered one thing, when did this second flood occur in the Huaibei area, could it be because of some mountain floods after some ice breaking in the early spring? Ye Mingting has been busy with his feet from yesterday afternoon to now, could it be that there is also a reason for this?
"Madame, what are you thinking?" Lu Yi suddenly interrupted her thoughts and said, "Madam, you almost hit the wall, and now you are around the corner." ”
Bai Yulan sighed, and then said with a headache: "Are there a lot of victims in the capital recently?" ”
When she came to the store in a carriage today, she saw that although the gate control in the capital was strict enough, it still made her see many victims entering through the holes.
"Disaster victims?" Lu Yi said with a blank face: "The capital is very prosperous, but recently it seems that there are more flowers, when I came from the Hou Mansion, I also saw several people called Huazi waiting for someone to give money in the shop, and I also put in two copper plates." ”
When Luyi was a child, he was also a displaced child, because of natural and man-made disasters, he tasted the pain of hunger and lack of clothing, and then he cherished food and clothes very much, and he was very sympathetic to these begging people, and he would help if he could, and would donate some money.
Bai Yulan frowned and muttered, "Could it be that something big happened in Huiguo recently?" ”
Usually when she reads in the history books, this kind of natural and man-made disasters, and no one cares, and if the people are not happy, there will be a major event of changing the dynasty.
"The slave maid hasn't seen any movement in Kyoto recently, if you want to talk about changes, that's what Madame said, there are many more beggars in this capital." Lu Yi pouted and said: "But the city management here is very annoying, and now they have been expelling these people, and after catching them, they will directly tie up and send a group of people out of the city." ”
