152. I am short of a buddy who can speak well
Lin Xi nodded politely and went to sit down.
All the way to the government office, the carriage was extremely quiet, no one spoke. Because after Ying Niang took out the book from the mezzanine of the inner wall and opened it after the carriage started to move, Lin Xi did not speak when she saw this, and closed her eyes against the soft pillow.
Thinking about what’s next for the store.
It wasn't until they arrived at the government office that Ying Niang reminded her, and the two of them got off the carriage one after another.
They came to Li Zheng Mansion, and the officer guarding the door had long recognized Lin Xi. When he saw her, he hurriedly came forward to ask questions, which made Ying Niang look surprised.
Lin Xi waved her hand and said that she was just here to do something, and an official led them in, leading the way warmly.
Ying Niang said at this time, "I didn't expect that the girl was hiding her secrets."
Lin Xi said: "It's nothing deep or not. It's nothing. It's just that my husband-in-law did some small things for the government and gained face."
Ying Niang smiled slightly and said nothing more.
The two were quickly taken to their destination, and the official responsible for the transfer transferred the ownership of their semi-shop to them.
The whole process was very fast. Apart from providing documentary proof of their place of origin, Lin Xi and Yingniang just sat aside and waited for a while.
Lin Xi noticed that Ying Niang seemed to be sizing her up, and sat up slightly, pretending not to notice.
When the completed documents were in hand, Lin Xi and Ying Niang left with official duties.
Lin Xi then said: "Thanks to Sister Ying's care, if we are destined in the future, we can do business together."
"That's good love. Meeting each other means we are destined. If one day comes, I, Ying Niang, will definitely work together with Miss Lin." Ying Niang said.
After a pause, she continued: "I just looked at the document signed by Miss Lin. Miss Lin's name is "Xi"?
Lin Xi nodded: "Not bad."
Ying Niang chatted and said: "This name is very good. I once had a niece, and my family liked her very much. They named her with such a word, which means that she hopes that she can be as tenacious and continuous as a stream, and grow into a broad and beautiful girl in the future.
Mountains and seas are big if they have room for them.”
While they were talking, the two of them had already reached the gate of the official residence.
Lin Xi thanked the official and got into the carriage with Ying Niang to go back.
She said: "That's really fate. I wonder how Sister Ying's niece is doing now?"
Ying Niang smiled bitterly and said: "No. Her mother had an accident and gave birth prematurely when she was pregnant with her in eight months, and the child was not saved."
Lin Xi said, "I'm really sorry, I didn't intend to mention your sadness, Sister Ying."
Ying Niang smiled and said: "It's okay, this is all in the past. Miss Lin, you have the same name as my niece. No wonder I thought you were a match for me when I first met you. It's really fate."
Lin Xi twitched the corner of her mouth, smiled awkwardly but politely, and murmured in her heart: If you have nothing to say, there is really no need to force her to find something to say. It would be weird to bring her and her short-lived niece together to talk about it.
Ying Niang may have realized this and didn't mention it again.
After returning to Rouge Shop, Ying Niang saw Lin Xi out of the carriage and said, "Miss Lin, it's time to stop here. It's time for me to leave. See you later."
Lin Xi said casually: "Then I wish Sister Ying that your business will go smoothly in the future and your family will be harmonious."
Ying Niang was obviously a little happy when she heard this. After saying goodbye, she asked the driver to drive away.
Lin Xi watched her go away, then looked down at the shop deed in his hand, feeling hot in his heart.
This is her first shop in another world!
It is also the starting point for her future career!
Lin Xi turned around excitedly, wanting to go into the shop and take a closer look, but unexpectedly saw that the two waiters were still there.
"Hey, you guys..."
The two waiters looked at each other and stepped forward to pay their respects to the new owner.
One of them added: "The former owner paid us an extra month's wages and asked me to stay for a few days. He also handed over the keys and accounting room, as well as a list of existing items, so that they can be inspected by the new owner.
"
The other one immediately turned around, rummaged behind the counter, and quickly came over with a quite large box and handed it to Lin Xi.
Lin Xi sat down and opened it to take a look. Sure enough, there was a large bunch of keys inside, as well as the store's purchase list and account book. After a rough scan, it was clear that there were entries, but he didn't know what the specific situation was.
Now that she has taken over the remaining goods, she naturally has to have an idea in mind so that she can continue to operate the business in the future.
After making up her mind, Lin Xi closed the box, looked at the two clerks, and asked: "What are your surnames and where do you live? How long have you been working in this shop?"
Among them, the tall and thin one immediately stepped forward and replied with a smile: "Back to the new owner, the younger one is called Xu Wu, and this is my brother, named Xu Qi. We followed the former owner in the spring of last year. At that time, our family
We were poor and had no money to house my late father, but our former employer kindly took us in."
The young man next to him, Xu Qi, nodded somewhat cautiously.
That Ying Niang was not an ordinary person and could be kept in the shop by her for such a long time. The two brothers must have something special about them.
Lin Xi sat up straight and said, "The former boss has left, don't you want to follow him?"
Xu Wu scratched his head and said: "We thought about it, but our former employer is inconvenient to take us. Besides, we have an old mother, and this is where we were born and raised, so we can't leave."
Lin Xi said: "Now that I have accepted this shop, I may not be able to keep you here. What are your plans in the future?"
Xu Wu and Xu Qi were stunned and looked at each other.
Xu Qi said honestly: "Looking for a job."
Lin Xi pinched his palms thoughtfully and said, "If I keep you..."
Xu Wu immediately said: "I will definitely be loyal to you and work for you wholeheartedly! My boss, I and I may have done it! Any job is fine!"
Lin Xi smiled slightly, "Now you are quite eloquent."
Xu Wu's heart skipped a beat, unsure of what Lin Xi meant, so he lowered his head and said no more.
Xu Qi also broke out in cold sweat.
Lin Xi looked at them, stood up and said, "However, I am in need of a man who can speak well."
Xu Wu and Xu Qi suddenly raised their heads and looked at Lin Xi with bright eyes.
Lin Xi looked around the shop and said calmly: "There's just one thing. My new owner has just started to open a shop. He doesn't have that much money. I can't give you the same wages as before at the beginning. But as long as you follow me and work hard,
, when the business is good in the future, I will naturally pay you wages. Now, are you still willing to stay? "
"Yes! Yes!"
Xu Wu and Xu Qi said hurriedly.
Even if they look for a job, it will take a long time and they may not be able to find one. It is better to stay here and work.
Lin Xi said, "You go back today. I will come to this shop again in five days. You can come then."
The two of them were immediately overjoyed.
Lin Xi did not stay any longer. After letting them go, she walked around inside and outside before closing the door and locking it, and drove the carriage back to Chenyang Village, just in time to have dinner with Shen Chen and the children.
After eating, the children went out to play, and Lin Xi and Shen Chen also went out for a walk nearby to eat.
Chapter completed!
