The most surprising thing about the change of owner of Nishang Embroidery Workshop is the clerk and embroiderer who used to work in the embroidery workshop.
Especially when they learned that the new owner wanted to meet them, these people felt a little uneasy, fearing that their jobs would not be saved.
After all, Nishang Embroidery Workshop is also the second-ranked embroidery workshop in Fucheng. The wages it pays embroiderers and workers are pretty good in the entire industry.
No one wants to be fired. After all, it will be difficult to find such a good job after leaving here.
Among everyone's uneasiness, only two people appeared particularly calm.
One is Shi Xiu Niang. She has already learned from others that the new owner of Nishang Embroidery Shop is none other than Mrs. Shen of Jinxin Embroidery Shop.
When the last embroidery event was held, she dragged the other party into the water several times and even competed with him. As long as the other party didn't suffer from amnesia, he would definitely not stay with her.
Since she was destined to be driven away, Shi Xiu Niang had nothing to fear.
Shi Xiu Niang was indifferent, while the other waiter had an indifferent attitude.
This guy's surname was Guo. Because he was good at abacus, he was called Guo Abacus. Later, more and more people called him Guo Abacus. Over time, few people knew his real name.
Originally, Guo Abacus was a good abacus master and good at accounting, so he should have been reused. Unfortunately, he had some disagreements with shopkeeper Zhang, so after working in the embroidery workshop for so many years, he was still a penniless clerk.
Now that Mr. Gu has mortgaged his embroidery workshop to Jinxin Embroidery Workshop, Guo Abacus feels that the new owner may not know people better than the old owner.
If the new owner really wants to drive him away, then go home and farm!
Guo Abacus just had an indifferent attitude, leaning against the corner quietly and looking out the window.
Just after Guo Abacus planned how he would farm after returning home, the clerks and embroiderers who had been talking in low voices fell silent.
Guo Abacus also withdrew his gaze and looked at the door of the embroidery workshop. He saw a young woman walking in with only a thin booklet in her hand as if there was no one else around.
Such a rather arrogant action was done very naturally by her.
In fact, when Shen Xiu stepped into the neon embroidery workshop and saw so many clerks and embroiderers, she naturally put on the airs that an employer should have.
She glanced at everyone casually, and the waiters and embroiderers who were already quiet became even quieter.
There was almost no sound in the entire embroidery workshop.
"From now on, the affairs of the Nishang Embroidery Workshop will be under my control." Shen Xiu said calmly in the silence: "I think some of you should know me. I am Shen Xiu Niang of Jinxin Embroidery Workshop. .”
Her eyes fell on Shi Xiu Niang, who was in the middle of the Embroidery Niang. She glanced at her briefly, and when she saw her lowering her head slightly, she continued: "I have always made clear rewards and punishments, and I am also fair in doing things."
When she said this, she paused again, then looked at a waiter and said, "Zhang Zhankui, I must have remembered your name correctly!"
The guy named Zhang Zhankui said hurriedly: "No."
"You were recommended by the original shopkeeper Zhang, right?" Shen Xiu looked at him and asked.
Zhang Zhankui nodded and said, "Yes, shopkeeper Zhang has already written his resignation letter and asked me to give it to you."
Mr. Gu has mortgaged his embroidery workshop. As his brother-in-law, shopkeeper Zhang naturally has no intention of staying. Moreover, even if he stays shamelessly, Shen Xiu may not be willing to let him. So he directly submitted his resignation.
Shen Xiu didn't read the resignation letter and said directly: "Later, you go to the accountant to pay ten taels of silver. It will be regarded as severance pay. You don't have to come here in the future."
Zhang Zhankui's expression suddenly changed. Although he expected this result, he was still a little unwilling.
If he wanted to say anything else, Shen Xiudao said: "Why, I think ten taels of silver is too little. If it is too little, then there is no need to pay the severance pay of ten taels of silver."
"No, it's not too little." Zhang Zhankui said hurriedly, a severance payment of ten taels of silver is better than nothing. He understood the meaning of Shen Xiu's words, took a final look at the embroidery workshop, and left knowing the current affairs.
After Zhang Zhankui left, Shen Xiu read out the names of several people one after another and asked them to continue doing what they should do in the future. As for their wages, they would receive an extra half a tael of silver every month.
After the guys left, only Guo Abacus and a few embroiderers were left.
Shen Xiu first glanced at Shi Xiu Niang, "If you don't want me to embarrass you, just leave!"
Shi Xiu Niang's face turned pale. She thought about many possibilities, thinking that Shen Xiu might keep her because of her good embroidery skills.
But she underestimated the other party's dislike for her. Shen Xiu would rather lose an embroiderer with good embroidery skills than keep her.
After Shi Xiu Niang left, Shen Xiu beat several embroider girls one after another. After several embroider girls went to work, the last person left in the local area was Guo Abacus.
When Shen Xiu sent Zhang Zhankui and Shi Xiu Niang away just now, he was very straightforward and not sloppy at all.
This made Guo Abacus have more complicated feelings about her. He didn't expect that at such a young age, she could be so experienced and skillful in handling the departures and departures of clerks and embroiderers.
A glimmer of hope arose in his heart, but his past experiences had made him accustomed to being ignored, so he did not dare to think too much about Shen Xiu's deep meaning of leaving him alone.
Shen Xiu threw away the pamphlet in his hand, walked around him, and then read: "Guo Wei, I am twenty-six years old this year. I have not married yet. I have my parents at home, and I have a brother. Because
He is good at abacus, so he is called Guo Abacus, am I right?"
Guo Abacus smiled and said: "I didn't expect my boss to inquire about me very clearly. He even found out my real name."
Shen Xiudao: "I don't like giving people nicknames, so I don't want to call others by their nicknames. I will call you Guo Wei from now on! What are your plans in the future?"
Guo Abacus thought Shen Xiu was going to drive him away, so he smiled and said: "I don't have any plans, just take it one step at a time! If my boss asks me to leave, I will go home and farm."
"If you go home to farm, wouldn't it be a waste of your skills?" Shen Xiu stopped beating around the bush and said directly: "I heard that you are not only good at abacus, but also good at business. Just because
You offended Shopkeeper Zhang, so you are not reused. Can I ask you, how did you offend Shopkeeper Zhang?"
Guo Abacus said: "Actually, it's nothing. I accidentally discovered the silk and satin from his Tanmo Embroidery Workshop. I didn't plan to tell Master Gu at first, after all, Master Gu was his brother-in-law. But I hid the matter and didn't mention it, but he tolerated it.
He refused to let me down and embarrassed me several times. I couldn't bear it anymore and had a quarrel with him, and then I offended him severely."
So that’s it.
Shen Xiu only knew from Liu Hai that the reason why Guo Abacus was not reused was because he offended shopkeeper Zhang. She thought it was a private matter, but she never expected that it was because shopkeeper Zhang was greedy for the silk and satin from Mo Embroidery Workshop.
"How did you know that shopkeeper Zhang was greedy for ink and silk?" Shen Xiudao, "Why didn't anyone else notice it and you were the only one who noticed it?"
Guo Abacus smiled and said: "It's nothing, I just remember things very quickly. When the embroidery workshop brought in silk and satin, I remembered that there were thirty-two pieces of plain satin. But half a month later, there was less plain satin.
Ten pieces. I counted the silk and satin used by the embroidery ladies, and knew that I would never use so much, so I asked the shopkeeper Zhang. Unexpectedly, he scolded me and said that I was meddling in my own business. Only then did I know about silk and satin.
It was because of his greed."
Being able to discover problems with silk fabrics shows that he has a good memory and excellent abilities. At the same time, he is also a good abacus, making him a rare talent.
Shen Xiu quickly made a decision in her heart and asked directly: "Then if you are willing to stay, I can increase your salary to ten taels of silver. If you do well, the position of shopkeeper will be yours in the future. But I
Let me be clear about rewards and punishments. If you do well, wages and bonuses are not a problem. But if you don’t do well, I will let you pack up and leave."
Guo Abacus did not expect that Shen Xiu would give him a salary increase, especially the position of shopkeeper. When he heard Shen Xiu's words, he thought he was dreaming.
Seeing that he didn't respond for a long time, Shen Xiu raised her eyebrows and said, "Why, you don't want to?"
"I do, of course I do." Guo Abacus finally responded, "My boss appreciates me so much, I will definitely work hard in the future."
Shen Xiu glanced at him encouragingly, "What I want is your words. If you can make the net profit of Nishang Embroidery House exceed that of Jinxin Embroidery House within half a year, the position of shopkeeper will be yours."
