Chapter 80: Taking Over II
"Shopkeeper Tong," Su Yingxue looked at the man who was slightly fat, with a disc face, a beard, wide ears and square lips, and some white sideburns. This person really doesn't look like a shopkeeper, if it weren't for this clothes, it would be like, well, like a big man.
"In your opinion, how should this matter be handled?"
"Childe," as soon as the shopkeeper Tong spoke, his voice was low and loud, he took out a few pieces of Zou Baba's paper from his sleeve, handed them over, Caiyun took it, and handed it to Su Yingxue.
"Mrs. Xiang pawned a total of four utensils this time, with a total amount of five hundred taels. The amount of money committed is so huge that it should be handed over to the government. It's just that "Shopkeeper Tong twisted his eyebrows, it seems that there is something difficult" Gongzi just took over the inn, and such a thing happened, if it spread, it would be bad for the reputation of the inn. What it means is that this matter can only be dealt with secretly, and there is no need to alarm the government. Let Xiang mother-in-law redeem those things, deduct this month's salary, and then drive out of the inn. I don't know what Childe thinks? ”
Su Yingxue lightly clasped her fingers on the table, nodded and said, "Shopkeeper Tong is thoughtful. "Reputation is a very important thing, if it really alarms the government, the matter spreads, and it is used by people with intentions, but it is very bad. The people used in the inn are no better than their own subordinates, and they can be disposed of at will, and they can only be fined for wages.
"It's just that something like this happened, and the people who manage these mothers-in-law have not fulfilled their responsibilities. Who is in charge of them on weekdays? Su Yingxue's fingers were still lightly clasped, and after the voice calmed down, one by one, it was like beating on people's hearts.
"Hui Gongzi, these are usually villains."
Su Yingxue looked at it and saw that it was the steward who called Dong Qi, with a greasy fat face, a sneering smile, and her eyes were crowded together, forming a line. Su Yingxue frowned, this person, it's good that he didn't smile, when he smiled like this, his facial features changed, only the fat nose was abruptly significant.
"It's the villain who has neglected to supervise and derelict his responsibilities, and the villain is willing to admit punishment."
This is very humble, if it weren't for seeing him like that, Su Yingxue would just fine some silver taels casually. It's just that this matter is related to the reputation of the inn, if the punishment is heavy, I am afraid that this person will not accept it and publicize it, but it will go against Su Yingxue's original intention.
"Brother Tang, the junior brother is inexperienced, how will your mansion deal with a situation like Steward Dong?"
Tang Jun was sitting crookedly in the chair watching a good show, maybe Su Yingxue would suddenly ask herself, glanced at her, saw the look in her eyes, and knew it in her heart.
Everyone's eyes also followed Su Yingxue, and all the attention was focused on Su Yingxue, and when she looked over, she immediately turned white with fright. This person turned out to be the little prince of Duanwang's Mansion, no wonder Su Gongzi was able to stand out from the competition of the four major families. The shopkeeper Tong was the first to react and hurriedly gave a salute, and the rest of the people were also busy following the salute.
"Get up." Tang Jun was still leaning there lazily, but with a majesty that Su Yingxue had never seen before.
"When a subordinate makes a mistake, it is a dereliction of duty on the part of the manager." Tang Jun's gaze swept over Steward Dong.
Steward Dong only felt a chill down his spine, and his legs couldn't help but tremble, and he was sweating profusely.
"According to the rules of the palace, it should be punished with the same crime!"
As soon as the words fell, only a pop was heard, and Steward Dong's fat body was like a pile of meat, shaking constantly on the ground, and his voice trembled with the shaking body. "It's a small dereliction of duty, I am a first-time offender, and I ask my son to spare me once." As he spoke, he kept kowtowing.
Steward Dong is in this inn, he is in charge of logistics, everything is carried out in accordance with the rules, there is nothing serious, but the salary he can get is a lot, which of those people in the backyard is not stammering him, this kind of style, if he leaves, there will be no more.
Tang Jun glanced at the pile of meat stacks with disgust, looked at Su Yingxue, and saw Su Yingxue nodding slightly at him, it seemed that he was going to do that trick to convince people's hearts.
"What Brother Tang said is, it's just that how can this place be compared to your mansion. Steward Dong,"
The steward Dong listened to Su Yingxue's words and knew that there was still a chance, so he hurriedly kowtowed to Su Yingxue and agreed.
"After all, this matter is caused by your negligence, and not punishing is not enough to convince the public. In this way, your stewardship will be abolished for the time being, and Steward Sun will concurrently serve as him, and you will be his deputy. The salary is subtracted by 20% compared to before. If you do well in the future, I will still bring you up. ”
When the steward Dong heard this, although he felt aggrieved in his heart, because a mother-in-law made a mistake, he was punished like this, but it was better than being kicked out, so he kowtowed with a thousand thanks.
The rest of the people saw that Su Yingxue had just arrived, so they sent people down like this, and they were so strict. I used to follow Boss Zhou, and there has never been a mistake made by my subordinates, and I was also involved, because I was a little more in awe of Su Yingxue, and this son had the support of the prince of the palace, so he really didn't dare to provoke, and he was ready to fight one by one, and he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest.
Su Yingxue lectured a few words, and then ordered them to go to work, leaving only the shopkeeper Tong to speak.
"Mr. Wan of Mingyue Pavilion has a lot of praise for the shopkeeper Tong, and I can see it today, and it really lives up to his reputation." Su Yingxue let the shopkeeper Tong sit down and praised him.
When the shopkeeper Tong heard Mr. Wan at first glance, he understood that this Su Yingxue was probably very close to Wan San. The respectful demeanor relaxed a little.
"Childe praised me, I just did my duty, compared to Mr. Wansan, it is really not worth mentioning."
"I heard Mr. Wan say that over the years, the affairs of the inn have mostly relied on you to develop like this. I'll have to ask Mr. for a lot of attention in the future. ”
Shopkeeper Tong smiled and said that he didn't dare, but his attitude towards Su Yingxue changed a little. Su Yingxue took the opportunity to ask Shopkeeper Tong about the affairs of the inn, and she knew a little more about the Yongchuan Inn.
In addition to the extraordinary layout, the kitchen here is also very famous, and the security measures here are also excellent. If it is said that food and shelter are okay, but these businessmen who go out are not afraid to carry valuable goods. Yongchuan Inn is equipped with a first-class good hand to watch the home and nursing home, don't say that there are thieves who want to sneak in and steal, or there are Jiangyang thieves, and they don't dare to provoke them easily.
In addition, there is a grand banquet hall for the exclusive use of merchants, and the first-class dishes are not only first-class dishes, but also singing and dancing music, and they have signed contracts with people. But there is a need, always close to the Yongchuan Inn, which is a big business to deal with here, and the list goes on.
It is precisely for this reason that looking at the small inn, there are several stewards to manage.
Su Yingxue asked him about repairing the house, and the shopkeeper said, "If you talk about repairs, you should have repaired them a long time ago." It's just that two years earlier, the boss was already homesick that week, and he wanted to change the inn, but he suppressed the matter. Now that Childe doesn't want to delay the upcoming busy season, and wants to have some new atmosphere, I will order me to go down and let the various places count the supplies and amounts that they must replace, and when the statistics are completed, we will discuss it again tomorrow morning. ”
