My God of Wealth is a Short-lived Ghost

At this time, the three of them returned to Wanfulou. Wan Sutong brought Xiao Liuzi to the waiter and said, "This is my waiter, his name is Fang Man." Then he looked at Xiao Liuzi and said, "His name is Xiao Liuzi. We have a lot of dishes and I can't remember them all at once. Let him help you clean up the dishes first."

Fang Man nodded and said, "Don't worry." Then he waved to Xiao Liuzi and said, "Come with me to the kitchen. Let's get familiar with which dishes to use."

"Okay," Xiao Liuzi said and quickly followed Fang Man into the kitchen.

Wan Sutong looked at the four missing tables and chairs on the first floor and asked, "System, can you copy that?"

"Sure, a copy of a set of tables is one-third of the original price." Wan Sutong nodded. "Then give me four sets." As soon as the words fell, four sets of tables and chairs instantly appeared in their original positions.

At this time, a very familiar male voice came from outside the door, "I heard that this place is recruiting guards?"

Wan Sutong looked up when she heard the voice and saw that the man was Zhou Lang. He had his hair tied up high, and was wearing a dark-colored long gown with a long sword hanging from his waist. "Zhou Lang!"

Zhou Lang scratched his head and felt that the woman in front of him looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who she was. "Do you recognize me?"

Wan Sutong chuckled when she heard this. "When Jing Hua was still a prince, you and I studied martial arts together! It's only been three years and you've forgotten it!"

Zhou Lang hurriedly bowed and said, "It's Miss Prime Minister. I am sorry for being rude."

Wan Sutong shook his head slightly. "It's okay. Being a guard at my Wanfulou is simple. There is no hard work. You will sweep the backyard once a day and scare away anyone who is looking for trouble. There is nothing else to do. It's 850 coins a month. It's definitely not comparable to what Jinghua gives you, but this is less work and it's leisurely."

Zhou Lang then noticed Wan Sutong's address to Zhao Jinghua, "That Mr. Su is not you, right? I thought my master was really gay."

Wan Sutong nodded meaningfully, "I was saying that when I broke into the palace at night, your smile was not right!"

Zhou Lang scratched his head awkwardly. "Hehe, isn't that a misunderstanding? You said my master is not afraid of being misunderstood by others."

Wan Sutong chuckled after hearing this with regret and bitterness in her eyes, and after a moment she sighed, "This is the rule of our Wanfulou, I will increase your salary by ten cents every month, and after working for twelve months, I will increase it by one hundred cents. The same is true for the second year, but after working for twelve months, it will be one hundred and ten cents, one hundred and twenty cents in the third year, and so on. This is called the seniority system." At this time, Mr. Zhou on the side began to fiddle with the abacus, and after a moment he said leisurely, "If you can work for five years, twenty-four taels of silver a year, it will be much more than opening a restaurant. Would you like to consider it? Our shopkeeper never deducts wages, and we will not reduce wages even if there are no customers."

Zhou Lang frowned after hearing this. "Won't you lose money?"

Wan Sutong shook her head and said firmly, "I believe that business will only get better and better, not worse. From now on, no one will disrupt my business, and you will have a stable livelihood. This is a win-win deal for us." At this time, Luo Lin came down from the second floor and was stunned when she saw the neatly arranged table. "Miss, are you asking someone to fix it?"

Wan Sutong shook her head and said, "I bought it with a new one." Then she waved her hand and said, "I bought it from you for four taels of silver."

Luo Lin nodded and then smiled heartily when she looked at Zhou Lang. "Guard Zhou, long time no see."

For some reason, Zhou Lang suddenly became extremely uncomfortable when he saw Luo Lin. "Luo, hello, Miss Luo."

Luo Lin smiled and didn't respond. "Miss, are you planning to let him be your bodyguard?"

Wan Sutong hummed and said, "He is Jinghua's guard, he must be better than ordinary guards."

After hearing this, Rowling nodded in agreement and said, "That makes sense. How much do you want?"

"Eight hundred and fifty coins, and the monthly increase will be ten coins. After working for twelve months, the increase will be one hundred coins. After working for another twelve months, the increase will be one hundred and ten coins, and so on."

Rowling nodded and sighed, "So, young lady, how long will it take you to come back?"

Wan Sutong shook her head with confusion and expectation in her eyes. "I don't know either, but those land deeds cannot be changed by just changing the name. If the business is not good, you have to take care of it. You have to stay for at least half a year. If you calculate it this way, it will take at least five or six years."

Luo Lin frowned after hearing this and said, "Miss, you have to come back within three years, because then you and the young master of King Lin will need to choose an auspicious day to get married."

"Ah? I was almost 30 at that time. How could I marry him?" Wan Sutong frowned and said in disbelief.

Luo Lin sighed heavily. "How can you be thirty? You are clearly in your prime. That is the imperial decree of Emperor Minghua. You cannot cancel the engagement at will, unless you find His Majesty the Current Emperor to cancel the engagement."

0533 said quickly, "Host, you must not go to Zhao Jinfang! If he knows that you like Zhao Jinghua, you will definitely be buried with Zhao Jinghua!" Wan Sutong frowned after hearing this. She knew that she couldn't take risks with her family's future. They were waiting for her to take them home. All she could do now was to ascend as soon as possible. Even if she didn't ascend and finally married Zhao Sinian, she had to be able to control him.

Zhou Lang's voice at this time brought Wan Sutong back to reality. "You mean when you come back, I will leave, right?"

Wan Sutong was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing. "No, even if I'm in Wanfulou, there are times when I can't handle it, so Uncle Sun has always been the one to handle these things. I hire guards and I don't conflict with them when I come back."

Zhou Lang nodded repeatedly after hearing this, "So that's it."

Wan Sutong raised her lips slightly and then asked curiously, "By the way, with the money Jinghua gave you, you don't have to be a guard anymore. What are you doing here? But your sister-in-law's mother's family wants money again?"

Zhou Lang's pupils shrank when he heard this. "How do you know this? But what did the master tell you?"

Wan Sutong shook her head slightly with a puzzled tone, but did not answer his question, "I'm just a little curious, have you not resolved that matter yet?"

Zhou Lang said, "It's solved, but my father got seriously ill and all the money in the family was spent. Now even my brother has to go out to make a living."

Wan Sutong nodded and said, "Just be positive. It's better than anything else if your father is fine."

Zhou Lang sighed, "Yeah." After he finished speaking, Wan Sutong asked again in order to save 100 points, "How did the mistress of the natal family deal with it?"

Zhou Lang nodded and began to tell Wan Sutong what happened. "That day was the third day after the master scolded me. I had just returned to the mansion when my sister-in-law's mother blocked me at the door of the mansion."

The mistress of the family put her hands on her waist and said in a very sharp voice, "You came back at the right time. Take the silver!"

Zhou Lang frowned when he heard this and asked subconsciously, "How much do you want?" After he finished speaking, Zhou Lang laughed at himself. Nan Nan said to herself, "No wonder the master scolded me."

The mistress of her family raised her eyebrows and then stretched out her left hand. "Why are you so forthright today? I want two hundred taels!"

Zhou Lang sneered with an unprecedented indifference, "Two hundred taels?"

The mistress of her family was startled by his tone, but after a moment she said confidently, "Yes! Two hundred taels! His brother wants to marry!"

Zhou Lang glanced at his mistress with cold eyes. "Your son is getting married, why should I pay for your betrothal gifts? Besides, he is not my brother-in-law."

When the mistress of the girl's family heard this, she said in a haughty tone, "Hey! Don't say that! I know you like my little daughter. If you give me these two hundred taels, I will agree to your marriage."

Zhou Lang's face suddenly darkened and he suppressed his anger. "I like your little daughter? I knew you had a son."

When the mistress of the girl's family heard this, she exclaimed, "Tsk tsk tsk, you dare not admit it, I think you just like my daughter and want to leave a good impression on me."
