Soul: At the beginning, the father died, and the eldest and second brothers wanted to separate the f

This incident also delayed Xie Jiaojiao for a lot of time.

She took off the ostentatious jewelry on her head, simply put on the hairpin that Jiang Weinan had given to his mother, and prepared to go out.

Jiang Weinan needs to keep up.

Xie Jiaojiao said: "I'm going back to the inn to do some things."

"Then I'll go back to find Ruonan. We came back in a hurry yesterday and didn't even say hello to him. Who knows, he might still be angry! And now no one has come to inform him."

Xie Jiaojiao nodded, and Lai Fu hurried to harness the carriage.

Arriving at the inn, Li Baoshan hurried over and said respectfully to Xie Jiaojiao, "Madam, the shopkeepers are all inside!"

Xie Jiaojiao nodded.

Followed Manager Li.

Jiang Weinan looked at Manager Wang and asked, "What is that Ruonan doing?"

"My cousin is angry and hasn't left yet."

Jiang Weinan said to Manager Wang with an "I knew it" look, "I'll go take a look. You go to the young lady's place and watch. If those old guys don't give her face, just kick them out of our shop."

Manager Wang nodded and went there immediately.

Xie Jiaojiao followed Li Baoshan to the reception room of the inn.

I saw that quite a few people were already sitting there.

When everyone saw her coming, they stood up immediately, but a few people inside glanced at Xie Jiaojiao, leaned sideways, and did not show any intention of standing up.

Xie Jiaojiao walked to the main seat and said to everyone with a smile: "Please take a seat, shopkeepers."

Then he sat down by himself.

As soon as her butt touched the chair, one of the shopkeepers who had not stood up spoke first.

"Young Madam, I wonder why you asked Manager Li to call us all the way here? If there is nothing going on, it will delay our business!"

Someone nearby immediately agreed, clapping his hands and saying, "That's right. If we are delayed, we will be very annoyed if we are asked to collect the revenue at the end of the month!"

As soon as these words were spoken, several people who did not stand up stared at Xie Jiaojiao as if they were watching a show. In their hearts, they only knew one thing, that is, the woman in front of them, if they gave her face, she would be the young lady, but if they did not give her face, she would be an ignorant village woman!

Letting an ignorant village woman who has never done business teach them how to do business would be a slap in their faces!

Several people made up their minds that they would not let her have an easy time today.

"How do you speak to the young lady like that?" Steward Wang scolded.

Xie Jiaojiao stretched out her hand to stop him, and smiled at the two people who had just spoken: "You guys are still capable of this! Are you going to be unable to deliver revenue if you delay for a day or two?"

Then she turned to Manager Wang and said, "Uncle Wang, we don't want people like this. They are so inefficient and useless. We might as well let someone more useful take over!"

After hearing what Xie Jiaojiao said, the two of them's eyes widened immediately. This... didn't go the way they expected!

Manager Wang spoke up at this time: "Someone, please get these two people out! And take back the shops they each own!"

The two men then began to get scared and changed their words faster than they changed their faces.

"Young Madam! That's not what we meant. We just want to know why you asked us to come here!"

Xie Jiaojiao looked at the two of them: "You don't need to know!"

After Xie Jiaojiao finished speaking, someone drove the two of them out.

One of them stopped acting immediately and pointed at Xie Jiaojiao and yelled, "You ignorant village woman! I am an elder of the Jiang family. How dare you touch me? What do you think of those of us who have devoted more than ten years to the Jiang family?"

Everyone looked at Xie Jiaojiao.

Xie Jiaojiao waved her hand, and the person who had just dragged them away stopped.

Xie Jiaojiao stood up: "I admit that you have devoted more than ten years to the Jiang family! I also recognize the efforts of all of you, but if..."

Xie Jiaojiao changed the subject: "You have done things for the Jiang family, and you use this as a threat, taking advantage of your seniority, then I will not give you face. After all, the Jiang family also paid you for your work, and we are in an employment relationship, an equal exchange! Since it is an employment relationship, then as the master, if your performance does not satisfy me, then of course I have the right to fire you!"

"Why!"

Xie Jiaojiao slammed the table and said, "I'm the owner! I'm the employer!"

After Xie Jiaojiao finished speaking, she didn't say another word. Manager Wang waved his hand and the two of them were dragged out.

The remaining few people who had not stood up just now immediately sat up straight.

Xie Jiaojiao's eyes swept over them, and several of them wished they could shrink their necks so that she couldn't see them.

“I wonder if there is anyone among you who can’t pay this month’s revenue because of coming here?”

No one in the hall dared to answer.

"Since everyone is able to hand it in, I assume that everyone has brought the operating account books for this period with them."

Almost everyone handed in their account books, except one person.

Xie Jiaojiao looked at him.

He also looked at Xie Jiaojiao, stood up and said with a smile: "Gu left in a hurry and did not bring the account book with him. Please forgive me, Madam."

Mr. Gu?

Xie Jiaojiao looked at him: "Are you Gu Weizhi?"

He smiled at Xie Jiaojiao and said, "Young Madam, do you know me?"

Xie Jiaojiao didn't say anything, but just looked at him slightly. After all, he stood out as a young man among this group of "old people".

Xie Jiaojiao knew him. His father was an old man who worked for the Gu family. He died of illness a few years ago, and then Gu Weizhi took over his shop. Although Gu Weizhi looked young, he was very decisive and efficient in doing things. The revenue of the inn he managed was much better than when his father was there.

Manager Wang specifically mentioned this matter at the beginning, so she had some impression of it.

Gu Weizhi said, "Although I didn't bring the account book, if the young lady has anything to ask, I can remember it and answer it one by one."

Xie Jiaojiao nodded slightly.

There was silence.

Xie Jiaojiao looked through the account books one by one.

After she finished reading, she divided all the account books into two batches.

Everyone didn't know what she was doing, but what was surprising was that this young lady was a village girl. A village girl could read the account books, so she wouldn't just pretend to show them to them, right?

But just as this thought came to mind, Xie Jiaojiao spoke up: "Manager Wang, is there something wrong with your account book?"

When handing over the account books just now, Xie Jiaojiao wrote down their names and appearances one by one.

When Shopkeeper Wang was called, he instantly felt cold sweat breaking out on his back.

But he still straightened his back: "Young Madam, you must have seen it wrong!"

Xie Jiaojiao sneered, "Did you see it wrong? After deducting the cost of food, it's close to fifty taels, but your accommodation for the whole month was less than a hundred, and the number of individual guests was even less. Although your revenue is still positive, it's only three taels of silver! You are kidding!"

As he said this, he threw the account book at his feet.
