Shopkeeper Cao of Xingweilou, who was wearing a mustache, stood up first, "Mrs. Shizi asked me to come to discuss matters and accounts, why don't you sit at the head of the table?
Could it be that there is a more noble person coming to make an accounting today? "
Gu Nan nodded, "Of course there are more noble people."
Shopkeeper Cao: "Is it the prince who is coming?"
Gu Nan sneered, "What Shopkeeper Cao said is ridiculous. What does the Gu family's accounting have to do with the Crown Prince?"
Shopkeeper Cao's eyes flickered, and a flash of understanding flashed in his eyes.
Sure enough, Manager Zhao was right. The Crown Prince's wife was clearly trying to make trouble with the Crown Prince in a different way.
He handed it over perfunctorily.
"I wonder who the noblest person in Madam Shizi's words is?"
Gu Nan turned around and glanced at Ruyi and Ruhua.
Ruyi and Ruhua put the account books in their hands on the small table in her hand, and then moved two more chairs and placed them on top.
In this way, three imperial chairs were placed in the middle of the meeting hall.
Everyone looked at each other.
Gu Nan stood up and said loudly: "Please invite the person in charge of the first, second and third rooms of the Gu family."
Mrs. Chang, Second Uncle Gu, and Third Uncle Gu walked in one after another.
Under the gazes of all the shopkeepers, the three of them walked straight to the top.
Chang's body was straight, her lips were pursed tightly, and her hands hanging in front of her were twisting constantly. It was obvious that she was very nervous.
Seeing this, Gu Nan stepped forward to hold her arm and whispered: "Sister-in-law, are you scared? Do you want to retreat?"
Chang suddenly pulled her arm back and snorted.
"Who said I was scared?"
She strode to the chair in the middle, then bowed her knees to salute Second and Third Uncle Gu.
"Second uncle, third uncle, please sit down."
Second Uncle Gu and Third Uncle Gu walked to the left and right sides and sat down respectively. Chang took a deep breath and sat in the middle.
Gu Nan glanced at his sister-in-law's trembling hand, curled his lips slightly, and stood behind Mrs. Chang.
Chang subconsciously straightened his back.
Not sure if it was an illusion, but her sister-in-law stood behind her, and she suddenly felt infinite courage coming from the bottom of her heart.
Shopkeeper Cao couldn't hold himself back and asked first: "What does Mrs. Shizi mean by this? Do we thirteen shopkeepers have to report to three managers every month from now on?"
Gu Nan shook his head.
"Of course not. From now on, the businesses related to copper, iron, and leather will be in charge of my second uncle, and the grain, oil, tea, and horse businesses will be in charge of my third uncle.
The remaining silk and cloth shops and other businesses are personally managed by my sister-in-law.
The shopkeepers only need to report to the corresponding person in charge every month. Matters that need to be discussed are decided by my sister-in-law, second uncle, and third uncle after discussion. "
As soon as the words fell, everyone except Chang was stunned.
Second Uncle Gu and Third Uncle Gu also looked shocked.
Second Uncle Gu agreed to Gu Nan simply because he didn't want the Gu family's property to be taken over by outsiders.
He was dubious about Gu Nan's guarantee.
The reaction of Gu Sanshu, who was carefree and casual, was even greater.
He fell off his chair in surprise.
He got up in embarrassment, looked at Gu Nan in disbelief, and blurted out:
"Nan Nan, do you really feel safe leaving these businesses to me and your second uncle? Do you really trust us?"
Even his biological eldest brother was guarding against them before he died.
He and his second brother each own four businesses, that's eight businesses.
Gu Nan smiled slightly, "You are my biological uncles, of course I trust you.
Will the two uncles do anything that will be detrimental to the Gu family business in the future? "
"of course not."
Second Uncle Gu and Third Uncle Gu said in unison.
Gu Nan smiled.
She believed this. In her previous life, when the Gu family property was transferred to Xie Rui, her second uncle and third uncle came to the Hou Mansion to look for her.
Only Xie Heng and Meng Yunshang stopped him.
When she found out, her second uncle and third uncle were already in business again, and they often secretly helped her sister-in-law.
"So, why don't you worry about leaving it to you?"
Second Uncle Gu and Third Uncle Gu looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.
Their niece has really changed.
I have become calmer and more sensible than before.
Uncle Gu was the first to express his stance.
"As long as you trust my second uncle, he will definitely manage the copper, iron and leather business properly. Even if I can't, there will still be your second cousin."
Uncle Gu did not hesitate to give in, and said with a smile: "Although your third cousin is young and can't help much, I can take it on by myself."
Gu Nan smiled and looked at Mrs. Chang, "Sister-in-law?"
Mrs. Chang blushed a little, clenched her hands, took a deep breath, and said: "I believe that the Gu family business will get better and better in our hands.
If the niece-in-law does something bad, the two uncles can correct her. "
Second Uncle Gu and Third Uncle Gu nodded.
However, some people are not happy with this happy appearance.
Shopkeeper Cao stroked his mustache and said, "Mrs. Shizi, we reported directly to Manager Zhao before. Shouldn't we discuss this matter with Manager Zhao?"
Gu Nan raised his eyebrows slightly.
"It's a joke. This is my Gu family's property. Naturally, my Gu family has the final say. You actually asked me to ask a steward?
Shopkeeper Cao, have you been living comfortably for too long and don’t remember whose salary you are receiving? "
The hall was quiet for a moment.
Shopkeeper Cao looked embarrassed.
"What the villain means is that Manager Zhao was personally selected by the Crown Prince after all. The Crown Prince's wife suddenly changed the rules. Did she discuss it with the Crown Prince?"
Gu Nan's clear eyes swept over everyone present one by one, and smiled lightly.
"You also think I should discuss it with the Crown Prince first?"
The shopkeeper of the leather shop said: "The Crown Prince and the Crown Prince's wife are one husband and wife, so they should discuss it."
Teahouse owner: "If Mrs. Shizi is angry with the prince, makes fun of us, and then changes back to her original appearance two days later, wouldn't it be a delay in business?"
The shopkeeper of the jewelry store: "Doing business is not a child's play. Please think twice before doing this."
The shopkeeper of the grain store said: "General Manager Zhao is usually the most loyal, but the Crown Prince's wife dismissed him indiscriminately.
This makes me and the shopkeeper feel chilled. How can we continue to dedicate ourselves to the Gu family business in the future? "
Shopkeeper Cao pointed at everyone, "Mrs. Prince, have you heard everyone's opinions? We have worked with Manager Zhao for so long, and we already have a tacit understanding of cooperation.
We are dissatisfied with the sudden replacement of Manager Zhao. "
Several shopkeepers who had spoken earlier agreed.
"We are not convinced."
"Mrs. Crown Prince resigned from Manager Zhao today. Will she resign me tomorrow?"
"I didn't expect the Gu family to be so ruthless and unjust. Who would dare to stay in the Gu family in the future?"
"Old club, if you were here, you would never treat us like this, right?"
"Brothers, we are no longer needed. It is unjust to act like this."
There were even people sitting on the ground, patting their thighs, and crying about Gu Nan's father.
The meeting hall was in chaos for a while.
Chang's face changed slightly and she looked at Gu Nan nervously.
Second Uncle Gu and Third Uncle Gu also looked over subconsciously.
These are all old shopkeepers who have been with the Gu family for more than ten years. If my niece doesn't handle them well, it will really chill people's hearts.
Gu Nan couldn't help but sneer in his heart when he faced the shopkeepers who stood up with eager eyes.
As expected, none of these six shopkeepers is missing.
In their previous lives, Xie Heng and Zhao Yong almost changed all the shopkeepers of the Gu family business, but these six people did not change.
This shows that they turned to Xie Heng early.
When I took a look today, it turned out to be true.
Gu Nan sneered, "Hold it, hit me, hit me hard."
