"Aunt Huang, you really don't have to worry. Let's do this. Come to my store and we'll discuss the silk and satin shop first. We'll talk about the rest later."
Su Liuye also knew that it would be difficult to eliminate Huang Ying's dissatisfaction with the government in a moment, so it was useless to dwell on these matters at this time.
Upon hearing this, Huang Ying hesitated for a moment, then packed up her things and followed Su Liuye to the restaurant.
As soon as he entered the door, Su Liuye saw a familiar figure walking towards the second floor.
She was surprised and asked the waiter next to her, "Is that Mr. Xiao who came up just now?"
"I don't know either." The waiter looked confused, "But the young master just now was entertained by Mr. Chu himself."
"Okay, then go ahead and do your work."
"Okay, shopkeeper."
Hearing what he said, Su Liuye knew that the person must be Xiao Yun, but she didn't expect him to come over again so soon.
She turned back to Huang Ying and said, "Aunt Huang, Mr. Xiao should be dining upstairs."
"Then, what should we do?"
Huang Ying's face turned pale with fright.
Su Liuye knew that she had no good impression of the government, so she shook her head with a smile, took her to the backyard, and asked the waiter to bring some cakes and tea, and then carefully admired Huang Ying's embroidery in the sunshine.
If such exquisite embroidery was put up for sale, it would definitely sell well! Su Liuye felt strong determination in her heart.
She thought for a while and said, "Let's do this, Aunt Huang, I have arranged the store and supply of goods, but I am a novice in the silk and satin shop, and there are still many things that I need your help with. It is equivalent to asking for your skills." With management experience, I will provide funds and supply of goods, what do you think?"
"Ah?" Huang Ying was confused after hearing her words. After a long time, he hesitated and asked, "Shopkeeper Su, what do you mean... I don't have to pay for it?"
"Of course not!"
Su Liuye smiled and said, "Aunt Huang, your embroidery skills and your knowledge of fabrics are already the best capital. This is the first silk and satin shop I opened in Luoxi Town, and many places still need yellow Auntie, come and help me, let’s start with six and four, how about you four and me six?”
After all, she is in business, not charity. Opening a silk and satin shop was just a sudden idea that came to her, and she naturally didn't want to lose money.
"Should I share 40%?" Huang Ying was surprised again and looked at Su Liuye speechless for a long time.
She and Su Liuye had only met a few times. It seemed that because Su Liuye was beautiful, she would definitely like bright fabrics, but she didn't expect that the other party turned out to be the shopkeeper of Cyclamen.
What happened next was beyond Huang Ying's expectation.
"Shopkeeper Su, this is not good... I haven't done anything, how can I have the nerve to take 40% of your profits?"
"Aunt Huang, I'd be sorry if you didn't take it. I don't know anything about the silk and satin shop, and I will have to trouble you with many things in the future."
"but……"
"Let's make this decision for the time being. If there are any changes in the future, I will let you know."
"Oh well."
Seeing Su Liuye's firm attitude, Huang Ying could only agree.
Su Liuye discussed with her where the store should be opened. Huang Ying told her the location, but soon showed hesitation.
"Shopkeeper Su, based on my experience, I think it's best to open at the pier. There are often foreign customers coming in and out there, and you can see the fabrics in our store when you come. It's a very good place, but... precisely because There are many customers at the pier, so it has long been occupied by Boss Liu and others."
"That whole street belongs to them?"
"Of course not. Wutong Street in front of the dock is the busiest place in Luoxi Town. It has always been owned by the government, and we can only rent stores there. But due to Boss Liu's previous relationship with the government, the government has always rented the store to He and others have no right to go there."
"It's okay if it's from the government." Su Liuye suddenly became confident, "I believe that Mr. Xiao will never allow this kind of monopoly and bullying of the people. It will only last for a few days at most. Mr. Xiao will definitely deal with it. This question."
After all, he was an official from the capital. Xiao Yun could naturally see through the little tricks of Liu Wei and others at a glance.
They had bribed Liu Liangzhi with money in the first place, but now that these things were of no use to Xiao Yun, Xiao Yun would naturally ignore them.
"It would be great if that were true..." Huang Ying still didn't believe it.
Su Liuye did not intend to continue persuading, and made an appointment with Huang Ying to go to Wutong Street to see what stores there were. If he could find a suitable store, he would rent it directly.
As she happened to have time tomorrow, Su Liuye went there with Huang Ying, and sure enough, she saw several silk and satin shops here. Although the names looked different, the fabrics sold in the shops were all similar, and there was no choice at all.
After walking around, Su Liuye saw several empty stores with notices for rent posted on them. The person to contact was from the government.
Su Liuye took a fancy to one of the shops and tore off the notice on it. Just as she was about to go to the Yamen to ask, a man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks walked out of the silk shop next to her, "Hey! What are you doing? Give me the notice above. I’ll stick it back!”
"Why?"
Su Liuye looked at the things in her hands, "Isn't there no one renting this store?"
"Who told you that no one is renting it? This is my store!" The man shouted arrogantly, "This store is only temporarily unoccupied, and there is no intention to rent it out."
Su Liuye looked at the notice in her hand again. It did say that the store was for rent, and it also had a government seal. The situation was completely different from what the man said.
"Shopkeeper Su." Huang Ying reminded in a low voice from the side, "This person seems to be Boss Liu's cousin, named Liu Sanshi. We'd better not argue with him."
Hearing Huang Ying's words, Liu Sanshi became even more proud, and the fat on his face trembled, "You have a good sense! My brother is Boss Liu, and this store is mine if I say it is mine! You guys leave quickly, don't Get in my way here!"
Su Liuye didn't want to get used to these people, so she immediately retorted, "So this is also Boss Liu, so you must have used this store before, right?"
"Yeah, so what?"
Liu Sanshi was used to being arrogant in the town. When he heard Su Liuye's question, he immediately admitted it.
Su Liuye sneered, "You rented the store, so you think it's yours? Now that the lease has expired, the government won't allow you to continue renting it, but you won't let others rent it, right?"
"you--"
Liu Sanshi didn't expect that she would tell the matter so directly, and his face suddenly turned ugly, realizing that Su Liuye was not someone who was easy to fool.
Seeing that he was speechless, Su Liuye didn't bother to say anything more to him. She took the notice and went to the government to discuss renting a store.
"This damn woman!"
Liu Sanshi relied on the fact that he was Liu Wei's cousin and had never received such treatment. He stared at Su Liuye fiercely, with fierceness flashing in his eyes.
