The little cannon fodder kept releasing melons, and people lined up to eat melons

Song Chengyi was about to curse, but was stopped by Song Qianning. She smiled and said, "You are Shopkeeper Xu, right? It doesn't matter if you don't know us, but you should recognize this Marquis Mansion token and the deed of this inn. You don't have to worry about who we are. Anyway, this inn is already ours. Tomorrow we will clear this inn and renovate it. Today we are here to deal with where you guys are going."

When Manager Xu saw that the token and the deed were real, he realized that the person was really from the Marquis' Mansion. This was bad.

Shopkeeper Xu quickly called the waiters to come and meet the boss. The waiters then realized that this group of people were really from the Marquis' Mansion, and they all stood up.

Shopkeeper Xu showed a flattering smile and said, "I don't know Taishan and you are the young master. What do you mean by renovating it?"

Song Chengyi was too lazy to waste time talking to him, and said directly: "Don't worry about what it means. Anyway, you just need to know that this inn will stop operating from today and will no longer operate as an inn. Today we are here to deal with the issue of whether the staff will stay or leave, and clear out all the people in the inn. Someone will be arranged to do the work tomorrow."

The shopkeeper was stunned. Why didn't they stop operating the inn? Where would they stay during this period?

"Third Young Master, haven't you heard the old lady mention closing the Fulai Inn? Besides, if it closes, how will the more than ten people in the Fulai Inn be arranged?"

Song Qianning felt that this shopkeeper Xu was pretending to be ignorant. Since the inn was no longer in business, what did their stay or departure have to do with him? If they were all hardworking laborers, it would be fine. But what he saw just now were lazy and arrogant employees, and a shopkeeper who made false accounts with a clear conscience.

She is not doing charity. Whoever keeps this bunch of worms will be in trouble, okay? ? Even if there are mountains of gold and silver, it is not enough for these people to spend, okay?

Song Qianning was too lazy to beat around the bush with him, so she said, "Is it necessary for Madam Hou to tell you what she decides to do? Since Madam Hou has handed the inn over to us, we have the final say on how to run it. Shopkeeper Xu, I'll be frank. Since the inn is planning to close for renovation, it means it will no longer be run as an inn. So the employment relationship between the people present, including you, Shopkeeper Xu, and our Hou Mansion will end today. Don't worry, you will be paid according to the original salary."

Song Chengyi took over the words of the third sister and added: "That's right, we will pay you every penny of your wages, and you can all go your separate ways after receiving your wages!"

The workers present were unwilling to do the job after hearing this. Where could they find such an easy and well-paid job?

"We are doing well, and you just say you don't want it? Have you ever considered what we will do in the future?"

"That's right! If you suddenly fire us, where will we find work?"

"That's right. You're just going to end it without any reason. No way."

"Yes, yes! You must give us an explanation..."

"That's right! We have been working at Fulai Inn for so long, you can just say no?"

"Anyway, I don't care, but you can't fire us without reason, unless you give me ten times the compensation."

"No! How can ten times be enough? Twenty times is enough..."

"That's right! Old Li is right. Without twenty times the compensation, you can't drive us away!"

"Yes, yes! I want twenty times the compensation..."

"We have to pay the compensation according to what Lao Li said, otherwise we won't leave..."

"I agree……"

"I agree……"

A group of people protested at the same time. Song Qianxue was shocked by such rude demands. Song Qianyu thought that these people were even more unreasonable than her.

Song Chengyi was so pissed off by this group of shameless people. How dare they ask for twenty times the compensation?

Song Qianning looked at them with a smile, and she suddenly remembered what the queen said in a drama - each of them looked like a black-eyed chicken, extremely ugly.

As expected, people are all the same. As long as their own interests are involved, they cannot recognize their own problems, but they have a mouth that likes to bargain.

Song Qianning stopped Song Chengyi who wanted to speak, and just watched the group of people talking non-stop with cold eyes. The group of people who were originally talking excitedly saw that the other party had no reaction at all and just looked at them indifferently.

They looked at each other uncertainly, and the noisy atmosphere immediately quieted down.

Song Qianning raised her eyebrows and said, "Are you done? Do you want to continue?"

When these people saw that Song Qianning did not play by the rules, they all stopped talking strangely.

Song Qianning continued, "I will only say three things. First, the Marquisate hired you to work, not to be lazy like this. Second, you know it well. You report losses to the Marquisate every month. Our Zhenbei Marquisate is not a sucker. Naturally, there is no need for this Fulai Inn to continue to exist. Third, the Marquisate only hired you to work, not to take care of your food and clothing for the rest of your life."

Song Chengyi continued to add: "Based on what you just did, if we report it to the government, not only will we not have to pay you, but we can also recover your previous wages. You'd better think it over. Do you want to take the wages and leave? Or should we go to the government together and have a good talk? My patience is limited, so you should think about it carefully..."

Everyone was stunned by the word "yamen" and no one dared to say a word. They were really afraid that, as the third young master of the Marquis' Mansion said, they would be asked to return their previous wages.

Song Qianning was very satisfied with the performance of this group of people. It turned out that the people's fear of officials was an eternal law.

"I'll give you ten numbers. Tell us when you've made up your mind. If no one shows signs of abnormality after ten numbers, we'll let the government officials come and have a good chat..."

After Song Qianning finished speaking, she walked to the table, chairs and bench and sat down. Seeing this, Song Qianxue and the others also sat down.

"Ten...nine...eight..."

A group of people began to sweat, and everyone looked at each other, no one dared to say a word. They felt that it was a loss to just take the wages, but they were also afraid of reporting it to the police. For a moment, no one dared to make a decision...

"Seven...six...five...four..."

"Wait a minute, I'm willing to take my wages and leave..."

"I would also like to..."

"I would like to..."

A few who couldn't bear it anymore spoke up, and Song Qianning and the others looked at each other, the smiles in their eyes were self-evident.

"Muju, Shuiqin, you two, pay the wages, and Fuyu and Guiyu, you two, help with the registration. That's it! Whoever decides to collect the wages and leave, go over there, collect the money, sign and leave!"

Mu Ju and the others nodded and began to put the cloth bags on the table at the side. When they opened the bags, they saw small bags of money. When they came, Song Qianning and the others had already verified the amount of wages for these people.

After Mu Ju was ready, he shouted to the group of people: "Those who want to get their wages, come here. After you sign, you can get your wages and leave..."

The few who just said they wanted to take the money hurried forward, took the money bags, signed and left, while the illiterate ones put their fingerprints on the bags.

The rest were still watching quietly, not daring to step forward. Song Qianning looked at them quietly, tapping the table with her fingers from time to time.

Song Qianning gave Song Cheng a look, and Song Chengyi immediately understood and started counting.

"three two……"

"I lead..."

"I'll take it too..."

A few more people couldn't stand the pressure and took the initiative to step forward, collect their wages and leave.

Song Chengyi glanced at the six people who still didn't move and said: "What about you?"

Three of them could not stand the pressure and surrendered directly. They walked forward, pressed their fingerprints, collected their wages and left.

Song Qianning didn't expect that there were still three tough guys left. These three were the people who were playing dice just now, and one of them was the one shaking the dice.

Song Qianning kindly reminded: "Are you three planning to go all the way to the end?"

"I was brought up by fear. Your little tricks can't scare me."

The one who spoke was the one shaking the dice, with a nonchalant look in his eyes.

Song Qianning understood that she had met a tough opponent, but she didn't take it to heart. After all, there were only three of them, and they had many more people than them.

Besides! She didn't believe that she could be tougher than the prison in the government office...
