The next day.
Chen Fan went out early in the morning with a cloth bag in his hand. He was going to find Su Wenqi to discuss with her about letting her manage the store.
On the way there, Chen Fan became inexplicably excited, and Su Wenqi's figure kept popping up in his mind.
When he arrived at Su Wenqi's home, Chen Fan was a little confused.
The door to Su Wenqi's house was opened, but no servants were seen outside.
Chen Fan walked in doubtfully.
"Miss Su, we come here to work for wages!"
“Our wages are waiting for us at home!”
"Miss Su, please have mercy on us!"
…
As soon as he entered, he saw a group of servants surrounding Su Wenqi excitedly.
Lan Lan was so frightened by this scene that she cried in Su Wenqi's arms.
When Chen Fan saw this, he immediately frowned, what happened to Su Wenqi? How can one owe someone wages?
"Don't be anxious, everyone. Give me a few more days, and I will definitely give you your wages by then."
Su Wenqi said patiently.
However, these excited servants did not disperse just yet.
"Miss Su, I heard that shopkeeper Su has reduced your monthly payment by half. Is this true?"
At this moment a servant asked.
Su Wenqi nodded awkwardly.
When she nodded and admitted, the servants became even more excited.
"Miss Su, your monthly salary has been cut in half, so where can you get the money to pay our wages?"
"You don't want to waste our wages, do you?"
"Hurry up and give us your wages, we won't work here anymore."
…
The servants said even more excitedly, and even stepped forward to push Su Wenqi.
Lan Lan cried even louder when she saw this. Su Wenqi had no intention of comforting Lan Lan now.
Only then did Chen Fan think about it. Su Yi had halved Su Wenqi's monthly payment.
Chen Fan didn't expect that the halving of monthly money would have such a big impact on Su Wenqi.
What Chen Fan didn't know was that the monthly money Su Yi gave Su Wenqi was only enough to cover the expenses of the family.
"You heartless ones, the lady is usually so kind to you, but now that the lady is in trouble, you are forcing her like this."
At this time, the old woman next to Su Wenqi, Aunt Zhou, stood up and spoke for Su Wenqi.
She has taken care of Su Wenqi since she was a child and has regarded Su Wenqi as her daughter. At this time, she naturally has to speak for Su Wenqi.
"Without wages, our parents and children will go hungry."
"We understand Miss Su, who will understand us!"
"Miss Su, just give us half of your wages."
The servants said one after another.
These servants are also children from poor families, otherwise they would not be able to become servants.
Although they pity Su Wenqi, they also need that salary to support their family!
Su Wenqi looked at the servants. There was no anger in her eyes, but only embarrassment and guilt.
She didn't blame the servants.
After all, it was her fault first.
"Aunt Zhou, go get my jewelry from the table. Those should be worth some money."
Su Wenqi said with some heartache.
"Miss, those jewelry were given to you by my uncle during his lifetime. This is the only thought he left for you! Why don't you go beg Master Su again?"
Aunt Zhou hesitated.
But Su Wenqi shook her head firmly.
She knew her brother's temper and would not change it after making a decision, especially for herself.
"It's okay, go get it!"
Su Wenqi said with red eyes.
Naturally, she was reluctant to part with these jewelry, but at this time, even if she was reluctant, she had no choice but to take them out.
"Why."
Aunt Zhou sighed and planned to go in to get the jewelry.
"Wait a moment."
At this moment, Chen Fan walked in.
When she saw Chen Fan, Su Wenqi had a look of surprise in her eyes, and then she felt a little embarrassed.
She didn't expect that Chen Fan would come here at this time, and let him see the embarrassing scene of a servant asking for wages from his master.
"I will pay the wages here from now on. You can choose to continue working here, or you can choose to resign."
"If you continue to stay here, your salary will be increased by 30%."
Chen Fan said calmly.
As Chen Fan spoke, he took out a few banknotes from his arms.
Chen Fan did not blame these servants for making things difficult for Su Wenqi. He also understood the difficulties of these servants.
When they saw Chen Fan holding money in his hand, the servants' eyes lit up.
"Chen Fan, you can't..."
"Aunt Zhou, go and pay everyone's wages! If you are willing to stay, you can pay one month's wages in advance."
Su Wenqi was about to speak, but was interrupted by Chen Fan.
Chen Fan handed the banknote in his hand to Aunt Zhou.
When they heard that not only had their wages been increased, but they would also be given a month's wages in advance, these servants would naturally not leave.
Aunt Zhou wisely took these servants away.
Only Chen Fan, Su Wenqi and Lan Lan were left.
"You don't even tell me if you're short of money."
Chen Fan said with some dissatisfaction.
However, Su Wenqi did not speak, but slowly put Lan Lan down.
"Lan Lan, you go play in the yard first."
Su Wenqi said to Lan Lan.
Lan Lan was very sensible at this time and went to play in the yard by herself.
"Chen Fan, you don't need to take care of my family's affairs."
Su Wenqi said coldly.
Chen Fan knew that although Su Wenqi was a weak woman, she was actually a very stubborn woman at heart.
"I have something serious to talk to you about, let's go inside and talk!"
Chen Fan said with a serious face.
After saying that, he opened the door behind him and walked in.
I don't know if Chen Fan did it on purpose, but that room happened to be Su Wenqi's boudoir.
When Su Wenqi saw this, her face immediately turned red.
Immediately, he remembered the last affair he had with him in this room.
Seeing that Chen Fan had already walked in, Su Wenqi couldn't say much. Anything she said at this time could easily be misunderstood.
So Su Wenqi could only walk in silently and close the door.
"Tell me! What is going on?"
Su Wenqi asked with a blushing face.
"I'm going to open a store, and I'm going to ask you to help me manage it."
"You get 40% of the profit."
Chen Fan said.
Hearing Chen Fan say this, Su Wenqi's charming face suddenly turned angry.
"Chen Fan, I, Su Wenqi, don't need you to pity me."
Su Wenqi said coldly.
She thought that Chen Fan took pity on her because he saw what happened just now, so he deliberately found things for her to do.
"You misunderstood. I didn't want to leave it to you because I felt sorry for you."
"But the store I want to open is beyond the control of ordinary people, so I can only ask you to help me."
Chen Fan said seriously.
Seeing the sincere look on Chen Fan's face, Su Wenqi also became a little curious. What kind of store is it that ordinary people can't control?
"What do you plan to sell in your store?"
Su Wenqi said doubtfully.
"I have brought the things, and they are also gifts for you."
After saying that, Chen Fan handed the cloth bag in his hand to Su Wenqi.
Su Wenqi opened the cloth bag doubtfully. When she saw the contents inside, the doubts in her eyes became even stronger.
