Chapter 163: The Eight Shopkeepers
Su Yan had no expression on her face. She nodded, indicating for them to continue.
A scholarly-looking, fair-skinned man took a step forward and said, “Greetings, Princess Consort. I am the shopkeeper of Star Seizer Pavilion, Yuyan, You can just call me Yuyan.”
This person didn’t look like a merchant. Instead, he looked like a scholar. He was very handsome.
The next few people introduced each other.
“Greetings, Princess Consort, I’m the shopkeeper of Cloud Robe Pavilion. You can just call me Mother Fei. My main business is the clothing business.”
“Greetings, Princess Consort, I’m the shopkeeper of Jingyun Inn. You can just call me Old Liu.”
“Greetings, Princess Consort…”
After listening to their introduction, Su Yan looked at Yuyan and asked curiously, “What does Star Seizer Pavilion do?”
Su Yan had never been there before, so hearing the name was very strange.
Yuyan cupped his hands and said, “The Star Seizer Pavilion is in charge of the astronomy business. You can see the wonderful night scenery in the attic of our Start Seizer Pavilion. You can also ask a fortune-teller to read your destiny.”
Su Yan felt that it was a bit weird.
Niu Sheng sneered at the side and said, “It’s just some swindling and cheating.”
Yuyan smiled in a good-natured manner and said, “This principle of fate only befriends those who are fated.”
The way he shook his head really looked like a charlatan. Looking at the face of Niu Sheng, he suddenly frowned and said, “Manager Niu, I see that your temple is black. I’m afraid there’s a bloody…”
“Stop, I don’t want to listen to you anymore,” Niu Sheng said fiercely. His voice was filled with fear.
This kid was a little strange. Every time he said something, it would always come true. Those who didn’t believe him before had learned their lesson after suffering a few losses.
It wasn’t just him. The other shopkeepers all took a few steps back.
Even the taciturn Zhang Sheng took a few steps back. It seemed that they had all been persecuted by him.
Yuyan couldn’t find a partner, so he set his eyes on Su Yan.
Su Yan coughed lightly, picked up the teacup, and said, “You have to be careful with your words.”
Yuyan instantly put on a smile and said, “Of course. One look at the Princess Consort’s face and you can tell that she is rich and noble. She has been showing signs of becoming rich recently.”
This exposed his true nature as a businessman.
The shopkeepers all glared at him angrily. Was there such a difference in treatment? They had known each other for several years, but they had never heard any good words from him.
Su Yan put down her teacup and said, “I called you here because I have something to announce.”
They all stood up and waited for Su Yan’s instructions.
“I saw something bad this time. According to the rules of the Su family, every shop has to take out a corresponding amount of profit every month to use it together to ensure that all the shops can develop smoothly. Why didn’t Qicao Pawnshop participate?”
Except for Zhao Sheng, who was at the center of the incident, Yuyan, who had nothing to do with it, stood back.
Everyone’s eyes were on Niu Sheng.
Niu Sheng did not panic at all, he took a step forward and said, “Princess Consort, you don’t know this. Qicao Pawnshop has been in a state of loss for a year. Recently, it can’t even afford to pay the rent. If this shop continues to open, it will only be a bottomless pit that cannot be filled. That’s why we unanimously decided not to let him participate in our monthly profit share.”
Su Yan didn’t look good and asked, “Which one of you decided this matter? Why didn’t you report it to the Su Family?”
Niu Sheng continued, “Madam Su had already handed over all the matters of these stores to me, so I took the initiative.”
Su Yan said, “Since it’s handed over to you, is this how you manage it?”
Niu Sheng was stunned. He did not understand what she meant.
Su Yan continued, “When problems arise in the shop, it’s not the first thing to think about how to get through them. Instead, it’s the immediate abandonment. This is your ability. It seems that my mother has misjudged someone.”
Niu Sheng had been the head shopkeeper for so many years. Even Madam Su was very polite to him. After being taught a lesson by a little girl, his expression immediately turned upset.
