Chapter 24 - Ridiculous
[T/N : Oh no… I was too busy last week… And sadly, no ko-fi was given ? So I will only update 2 chapters this week (1 for last week and 1 for this week). Please enjoy the first chapter for this week :)]
“Uncle, what you"re saying is funny. Cousin is Miss from ShangGuan Residence, not Miss from Yun Family. Even if there are a lot of things in Yun Family, I don"t have to give it to cousin! Moreover, Xuan-er"s elder brother is the rightful person to get everything from the Yun Family. Even Yun Residence"s people did not care about Yun Family"s matter. Can it be that uncle want to care about it?” Yun Ling Xuan said with a tone different from usual. This had made ShangGuan Liang"s face turned gloomy and dark, was a little different from what she remembered.
“Miss, this Tao Di Restaurant"s business is getting worse every day. Can you tell me, what should we do?” Shopkeeper Yuan saw the ShangGuan family"s people froze so he opened his mouth to help them.
Everyone"s eyes fell on Yun Ling Xuan, thinking that she could be so stubborn at such a young age. It seemed that her knack is not average. However, could a little girl understand anything about business?
Unfortunately, no one knew that the ten-year-old had a soul in her body with a past life, and she knew better than anyone else, not only in business but even in official circles.
“It"s supposed to be me this Miss asking Shopkeeper Yuan.” Yun Ling Xuan"s eyes became sharp. Her eyes were looking straight at Shopkeeper Yuan, saying one thing at a time, “Tao Di Restaurant was the first business my parents set up and has laid a foundation for more than a decade. From the capital to the four kingdoms, it has been very famous. All these years, father and mother did not care too much about Tao Di Restaurant, and everything has relied on the trust they had for Shopkeeper Yuan. My mother often said this ‘The people she uses, she will trust them. Those that she don"t trust, she will never use them." So every year, as long as the accounting book is from Shopkeeper Yuan, my mother will not have any doubt. But now, my parents just pa.s.sed away not long, Tao Di Restaurant"s business is failing day by day. It seems that the issue is not with the business, but it"s with Shopkeeper Yuan being unable to take care of the business. If that is the case, you can just claim some silver money and retire!”
Yun Ling Xuan"s words made many people who had intended to make trouble tremble.
They had no idea that the young girl, who was only ten years old, had such a great boldness, which was almost like an adult man.
“Miss, that is going too far!” Shopkeeper Yuan was thinking very hard and he never expected that in the end, the result was like this. So he asked in a somewhat exasperating manner.
“How can you say that this Miss is going too far?” Ling Xuan was pointing her finger at her nose and said with some inexplicable smile, “Shopkeeper Yuan said the business is failing, isn"t Shopkeeper Yuan the cause of it? Or do you mean that Tao Di Restaurant"s business is looking at my parents? Once my parents are no longer around, everyone can no longer see them, so the business is gone?”
Shopkeeper Yuan was shut down and his eyes fell on ShangGuan Liang for help. It was ShangGuan Liang who asked him to come here to make trouble. As long as the matter was done, he would divide some shares from the capital"s Tao Di Restaurant to him and he would not have to worry about the rest of his life.
But now, not only had things not worked out, but it had also caused him to lose a job that he could earn a few hundred silver monies in a year. Wasn"t this forcing him to go and die?
If Yun Ling Xuan knew what Shopkeeper Yuan was thinking, she would have dropped a line, “Serve you right!”
Towards these people, her mother was very good to them. Every festive season, the elderly and children in their household would gain lots of benefits. It"s ridiculous and ironic that they would be bribed in such a short time.
“Xuan-er, Shopkeeper Yuan is an elderly in Tao Di Restaurant. If you let him retire, how will Tao Di Restaurant continue?” ShangGuan Liang actually wanted Shopkeeper Yuan to leave so that the restaurant could be handled by his family people.
