In the years of famine, I led a comfortable life with my husband

night.

"Boom boom boom——"

Su Zhizhi looked at the dark outside and was about to fall asleep when the door of their room suddenly opened.

Su Zhizhi was slightly stunned, then looked up at Xie Chengjin. The two looked at each other with surprise in their eyes.

"Who is it?" Su Zhizhi asked puzzledly.

"Reporting to the young master and madam, it is this old servant." Uncle Zhang's voice came from outside the door.

"Come in." Xie Chengjin waved his hand.

Hearing the sound, the door creaked open and Uncle Zhang came in.

"Uncle Zhang, what's wrong? Is there anything wrong?" Su Zhizhi asked.

"Reporting to the young master and young mistress, many of our store owners are looking for you outside, saying that..." Uncle Zhang looked at Su Zhizhi as if he wanted to say something but stopped.

"What did you say?" Su Zhizhi asked.

"He said... he has something to give to the young master and mistress." Uncle Zhang looked at Su Zhizhi with a very subtle expression.

Su Zhizhi immediately understood what the shopkeepers were up to. She said without hesitation, "Please tell them I don't want anything, and I won't see anyone. Instead of wasting time, you'd better go back and think about how to improve the store's performance and make more money."

Xie Chengjin on the side also nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, everything is subject to your young mistress's arrangements. Her opinion is my opinion."

Uncle Zhang still had some confusion after hearing this, so he nodded and praised, "Okay, okay, I understand. I'll tell them right away."

After saying that, Uncle Zhang left.

After hearing Uncle Zhang's words, the people outside the door fled in shame.

The next day, all the shopkeepers worked with full concentration and no longer dared to be lazy.

The fabric store was officially in Su Zhizhi's hands. The fabric store had an excellent location, and the fabric industry itself was very popular, so Su Zhizhi had more than enough money to run it.

As soon as Su Zhizhi took office, she carried out drastic reforms. The first problem to be solved was the attitude of the waiters towards customers. Su Zhizhi trained the waiters in relevant professional knowledge to make them appear more professional when introducing fabrics. She also made mandatory provisions for them to use some polite language with customers, such as welcoming customers when they enter and seeing customers off with their eyes when they leave.

Not only that, Su Zhizhi also organized many activities, such as buying 200 taels of silver and getting 50 taels of silver for free, and there are also activities such as getting 100 taels of silver off for spending 500 taels of silver.

As soon as these products were launched, they were sought after and liked by many customers. For a time, the whole capital was in a frenzy of buying Su Zhizhi's fabrics.

Su Zhizhi's fabric store was doing so well that she even managed to give away the fabrics that had been stockpiled for years at discounts or as gifts.

Seeing this, other shop owners were impressed by Su Zhizhi's management and sales capabilities. Many of them even came to Su Zhizhi for help and learned from her. At one time, there was an endless stream of people coming to see Su Zhizhi; the door was almost broken down.

Su Zhizhi was not stingy about this. She generously explained her sales experience, plans, and decisions to the shop owners one by one. She even stipulated that they should set aside one day a week to hold a regular meeting to discuss and reflect on their actions during this period.

After Su Zhizhi's series of reforms, the several shops under Xie Chengjin that were originally running at a loss gradually improved and no longer lost money.

In the study.

Xie Chengjin looked at the account books of several shops that had started to operate and make money after Su Zhizhi's reforms, and his eyes suddenly lit up. He said excitedly, "I didn't expect Zhizhi to be so capable. Instead of this, why not let her manage all the shops I have."

After saying that, Xie Chengjin called Uncle Zhang and said, "Uncle Zhang, here are all the land and shops I own. You can leave them all to the young lady to manage."

Uncle Zhang nodded and agreed, "Okay, as you command, Master. I will transfer all these lands and shops to the Young Madam right away."

In the garden, Su Zhizhi was checking the account book at the desk.

"Madam." Uncle Zhang walked to Su Zhizhi and spoke respectfully.

Su Zhizhi looked up and saw that it was Uncle Zhang. She was a little surprised and said, "Uncle Zhang, what can I do for you?"

"Reporting to Madam, these lands and shops were handed over to you by the Young Master. He said that since Madam is so smart and has a good business sense, then I will just take care of them as well."

Uncle Zhang respectfully conveyed what Xie Chengjin had just said to Su Zhizhi.

Su Zhizhi was slightly stunned when she heard this, then nodded and agreed without hesitation. She had nothing to do anyway, so she could manage one shop or ten shops, and it didn't matter if she managed a few more.

"Okay, then you can leave it here. When I'm free in the afternoon, I'll go check out the situation of these shops." Su Zhizhi nodded.

"Yes, Madam." Uncle Zhang said respectfully.

After saying that, Uncle Zhang withdrew.

in the afternoon.

Su Zhizhi took the opportunity to visit all these stores and proposed ways to improve their respective problems. Finally, Su Zhizhi went back to the fabric store to inspect the situation.

The fabric store was packed with people and business was booming. For a while, the waiter was overwhelmed. Seeing this, Su Zhizhi immediately joined in to help the waiter with sales.

While Su Zhizhi was enthusiastically explaining the fabrics to other customers, a maid rushed in, looked around the store, and then said arrogantly, "Who is the boss here?"

Su Zhizhi was slightly startled when she heard the voice, and nodded subconsciously, "I am. What's wrong? Is there anything you want to do?"

Seeing this, the maid ran straight over to Su Zhizhi and said bluntly, "Give me a few pieces of all the good fabrics that have been sold recently in your store. My young lady will use them to make clothes. Remember, it must be the best fabric. My young lady is the one who has the most money."

The maid emphasized to Su Zhizhi.

Su Zhizhi immediately realized that the maid's family was of high status, so she patiently explained to her in a gentle voice, "Miss, could you please wait a moment? We have so many guests waiting in line. If I give it to you rashly, I'm afraid the other guests won't like it."

Su Zhizhi persuaded the other party.

The maid didn't expect Su Zhizhi to say such a thing. Her words completely annoyed the other party.

The maid looked at Su Zhizhi coldly and said with disdain, "Oh? This is the first time I've heard that my lady needs to queue up for something she wants. It's ridiculous. I think you don't understand your own status. Don't think you're great just because you opened a fabric store."

After she finished speaking, she waved her hand and said to her subordinates, "Go, let's get it ourselves. I will bear all the consequences."
