Nie Qianqian looked around with sharp eyes. She took out the land deeds and house deeds of Guangjuxuan from her sleeve and announced that she was the new owner of Guangjuxuan.

After Nie Qianqian finished speaking, it was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirring up a thousand waves.

The hall erupted in chaos. Everyone looked at each other in astonishment, never expecting that the new owner of Guangjuxuan was this young woman.

How can it be? !

"This afternoon, I thoroughly investigated all the despicable things Chen Feng did when he was the second manager of Guangjuxuan. Here is his own confession, signed and fingerprinted. These people on the list are all those who did wrong things and broke the store rules under his guidance. The evidence is irrefutable; none of them can deny it!"

Everyone was shocked and looked at each other with suspicion in their eyes. In just one afternoon, the new employer had made Chen Feng confess and investigated the matter thoroughly.

Seeing this, Nie Qianqian didn't waste any time and directly pointed out a way for these people. She took out a document that she had prepared in advance, in which she clearly wrote down the wrongdoings of each person.

She brandished the document in her hand and said loudly, "Everyone on the list, come and sign this document, then you can collect your monthly wages and leave. I guarantee this document won't go to court. If you don't sign it, then you've broken ties with me, and I'll present all this evidence to you in court!"

After speaking, her gaze turned cold, and she swept her eyes over the crowd before adding:

"This is the last bit of dignity I'm giving everyone, and it's also the last chance. If you miss it, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Leaving behind a document with signatures and fingerprints meant that these people had their Achilles' heel, and even if they left Guangjuxuan, they wouldn't dare to cause trouble in secret anymore.

Nie Qianqian did not pursue them to the bitter end. She believed in leaving them some room to maneuver, which would reduce their chances of retaliation and prevent unnecessary trouble.

After he finished speaking, whispers filled the room, some expressing doubt, some fear, and some suspicion.

Nie Qianqian didn't give these people much time to think. She nodded slightly, and Liu Xiong unfolded a list and began calling out names.

As the names on the list were read out one by one, the faces of those whose names were called instantly turned extremely ugly.

At first, some people still held onto a glimmer of hope. These people had only spent an afternoon at Guangjuxuan; how could they possibly know exactly who Chen Feng's men were? Maybe they weren't even among them.

But as more and more names were called out, they gradually became dejected. From accounting to purchasing to cleaning, no one was left behind. The new employer was decisive and efficient. This was not an exaggeration; he truly sorted out the complicated relationships.

Those who understand this will naturally know how to choose. Guangjuxuan is a place, and its new owner is definitely not an ordinary person; she must have a powerful background. Going against her will never bring any benefits, so why fight a losing battle?

Once one person took the lead, the others no longer hesitated, signing and leaving one by one with their fingerprints, taking the money and leaving.

As they left Guangjuxuan, they were all dejected, and one of them couldn't help but say, "What good is a young lady even if she has someone backing her up? If she knew how to do business, I, Xu Laosan, would immediately plunge into the Qinghe River and drink my fill!"

“The boss has kicked us all out. Who will do the work for her? Guangjuxuan is a complicated place. How can newly hired people understand how to do it? Just wait and see. In less than a month, Guangjuxuan will definitely be in trouble.”

"Maybe they'll have to call us all back."

"Old Wang is right. Let's go home and wait and see what kind of trouble this girl can cause."

The crowd raised their voices, full of doubts about Nie Qianqian. In their eyes, it was a joke for a woman to run a business, let alone such a young woman running Guangjuxuan, the largest and best restaurant in Qinghe County. The new owner's hasty dismissal of her was bound to ruin her future.

Inside the Zhao residence in Qinghe County, the lights were on.

As Zhao Xuanmu was listening to the steward's report, a servant rushed in.

"Master, I heard that the new owner of Guangjuxuan has arrived. She's a woman. She arrested Chen Feng, interrogated him for an entire afternoon, and drove away a large number of people that night."

Zhao Xuanmu frowned deeply upon hearing this. "A woman?"

He clearly gave Guangjuxuan to Doctor Qian, so how could it be that a woman took over Guangjuxuan?

"Chen Feng is usually a bit arrogant and loves to take advantage of others, but he is extremely efficient in handling affairs. Too much clarity leaves no room for fish. I don't know where Doctor Qian found this short-sighted woman to manage things; she just kicked so many people out right away. Is he trying to shut Guangjuxuan down completely...?"

The man whispered in Zhao Xuanmu's ear, "The people in the shop said they saw Lord Tang come to Guangjuxuan this afternoon, disguised."

"Lord Tang?"

Zhao Xuanmu wondered to himself, what a coincidence that Lord Tang would appear here in disguise when his new employer came to Guangjuxuan.

Could this woman be just a decoy, and the new owner of Guangjuxuan be Lord Tang?

Lord Tang has just taken over Guangjuxuan and has already driven away so many people. Could it be that he has discovered something amiss?

Zhao Xuanmu grew increasingly uneasy. He stood up and paced back and forth in the room. After a moment, he suddenly stopped and instructed the steward, "Inform the household to pack their bags tonight and set off early tomorrow morning."

He was afraid that if he didn't leave now, he wouldn't be able to leave at all, and he couldn't let things in Qinghe County delay his important business.

In the backyard of the Zhao family mansion, Zhao Jiaojiao angrily smashed a vase again. The servants of the Zhao family stood outside the room, not daring to breathe, for fear that the young lady's temper would cause collateral damage.

An old woman hurried over, heard the noise from the room, shook her head slightly, knocked on the door and entered, whispering something in Zhao Jiaojiao's ear.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Jiaojiao couldn't help but raise her voice, "What did you say?! How is that possible..."

"She's just a village woman! How could she possibly be the new owner of Guangjuxuan?"

The old woman whispered, "There's no mistake. It's news from the shop. They say that as soon as this woman went to Guangjuxuan, she tied up Chen Feng and dismissed nearly half of the shop's staff."

Zhao Jiaojiao gritted her teeth in anger, stomped her foot hard, and wanted to smash something again, but there was nothing left to smash on the table. She could only slam her hand on the table and said, "With that vixen-like appearance, she might be someone's mistress. I don't know what despicable means she used to act like the new owner at Guangjuxuan. She came up here shouting and killing Chen Feng and dismissed so many people. Isn't that a slap in the face to Father!"

The old woman lowered her voice even further, "I overheard from the master's room just now that Magistrate Tang also went to Guangjuxuan this afternoon, right after this girl."

Zhao Jiaojiao's mouth opened slightly, "You mean... this Lord Tang is probably old enough to be her father, yet she is so shameless."
