I just want to live a good life

Chapter 150 Rent out

In the past few days, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been staying in Duiyueju every day. In addition, he holds the power of the family, so the respect of everyone in the mansion for Su Nuan has reached a new level.

Especially Kang Dahong, who was in charge of the kitchen, he really racked his brains to find all kinds of ways to send delicious food to Duiyue Ju.

Upon hearing that Manager Ding was recruiting a cook, Kang Dahong personally approached Su Nuan and recommended his junior sister, Madam Wang, to her.

She heard that the two of them were from the same school, so Su Nuan was reluctant to hire her. Her purpose in hiring a cook was to try something new. If the food she made was the same as Kang Dahong's, then what was the point?

She expressed her meaning tactfully and rejected Kang Dahong's request.

"My Lady Concubine, my apprentice sister is a great cook. Please give her a chance."

"If her cooking skills are as good as you say, I can recommend her to be a cook in other families."

Kang Dahong looked unwilling and suggested, "Why don't you let her cook a meal for you, and then you can decide whether to keep her or not after tasting her?"

Although Su Nuan was reluctant, she still agreed to give Madam Wang a chance. She asked Kang Dahong to bring the people over, and Madam Wang would cook dinner at Duiyueju.

After finishing the affairs in the mansion, Su Nuan asked Falcon to drive the carriage to Zhusheng Street.

Now that she knew that Liu Qian was behind it, she couldn't just sit there and wait for death. She had to do something to fight back. It would be more interesting if there was a two-way confrontation.

When they arrived at Liangyi Zhai, a group of people had already gathered there, and Fusheng was trying to comfort them.

"Everyone, don't be like this. We have the Second Prince protecting us. What are you afraid of?"

"We have a contract, no one can drive us away."

"..."

Unfortunately, no matter how hard Fusheng tried to explain, no one listened to him.

Su Nuan stood behind and watched for a while. Seeing that Fusheng was about to cry, she cleared her throat and stood up.

"Everyone, if you want to cancel your lease, come find me, but you have to queue up."

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone surrounded her, and the falcon was so scared that he drew his sword.

"Hey, Boss Su, this is wrong. We are here to cancel our lease. If we have anything to say, we can discuss it. Why are you resorting to violence?"

Su Nuan did not stop Falcon, and said with a smile: "Don't get me wrong, I am a guard who just wants to urge you to line up and come to talk to me one by one. If you all surround me like this, you will talk back and forth, and there will be no way to talk. How about this, you line up according to the amount of rent, and we will start with those who have the least money."

"Why do we have to start with the one with the least money?"

"You can also start with the one with more silver!"

"Why should we start with the one with more silver?"

"..."

After a stalemate, Su Nuan spoke up: "Anyway, I will only talk to one person at a time. As for who comes first, you can decide for yourself. Otherwise, you can discuss it on your own. I'll wait in Liangyi Zhai."

After saying that, she entered Liangyizhai under the escort of the falcon.

"Boss, you're finally here. Now everyone wants to give up the lease, what should we do?"

"Fusheng, where are you from?"

Su Nuan asked instead of answering.

This sudden turn stunned Fushengwen, "My home is right next to the South City Gate."

"The South City Gate is not close to here. Why did you come to Liangyi Zhai to work?"

"Manager Ying posted a notice recruiting workers at the South City Gate, and I came here after seeing it. Here I can get 800 coins a month, but in South City I can only get 500 coins a month. I can earn an extra 10 coins a day by walking more."

"Boss, do you really want to cancel the lease for those people?"

"Yes."

Fusheng showed a worried look, "Will the boss continue to employ me?"

"Of course, I will not only employ you, but also make you the shopkeeper. Are you willing?"

"Yes, yes." Fusheng nodded happily.

"Well, the first task I give you is to recruit people for me."

"What kind of people does the boss want to recruit?"

"I have rented out a total of 18 shops on this street. I want you to recruit 18 assistants. It would be best if they can run the shops independently like you and have the ability to be a shopkeeper."

"This... the boss wants to be the owner of these shops himself?"

Fusheng's eyes lit up.

"Yes, when I take over these shops, you will be the big boss of this street."

"Then I will go and recruit someone for you."

"No rush. Don't make this recruitment public yet. Look for candidates first. I need to settle these tenants first."

"Okay, I'll listen to the boss."

"Tell me which of these shops are doing well and making a lot of money, and which ones are losing money. Do you know this?"

"I know, I know. When Manager Ying was here, he asked me to patrol the store every day."

Fusheng told Su Nuan in detail about the business conditions of all the shops on this street.

At this time, the tenants outside had already lined up, and the first one to discuss termination of the lease was Madam He from the embroidery workshop.

Madam He was a little embarrassed. "They said women are easy to talk to, so they let me come first. I...you introduced me to the business of the cloth shop on Hengsi Street a few days ago. I am very grateful, but my embroidery shop is just a small business. Yesterday, the shop was smashed and almost everything inside was destroyed. Although I got compensation from the government, it is not reliable to do business like this. I hope that Boss Su will understand my difficulties and cancel my lease for me."

Su Nuan poured a cup of tea for Madam He and said with a smile, "It's easy to cancel the lease. I wonder what Madam He's plans are for the future? Will you continue to rent a shop and open an embroidery workshop?"

"It takes a lot of money to be my own boss. To be honest, I borrowed the money to rent the shop. After I give up the lease, I want to find a job and earn a living with my skills."

"Well, that's fine. I'll help you cancel the lease then."

Su Nuan took out the contract signed with Madam He, calculated the money to be refunded according to the amount and lease period, and then wrote down the instructions to end the contract.

Just wait until you take it to the government and record it in the file, and then you can settle the money.

Perhaps she didn't expect it to be so smooth, Madam He was actually a little excited, "Boss Su, you are such a good person."

"I can't say I'm a good person, but even if the deal doesn't work out, we're still kind and righteous. Maybe there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future. If Madam He doesn't mind, I can recommend an embroidery shop for you to be the second manager."

"This this......"

"It's okay. You can go back and think about it carefully. If you change your mind, you can come here and tell me within three days."

"Then I'll go back and think about it."

After Madam He left, the remaining seventeen bosses came to Su Nuan one after another to negotiate termination of the lease. Su Nuan did not make things difficult for them and agreed to all of them. Like Madam He, she also recommended someone to be the second manager of the shop to these seventeen bosses. Some directly refused, some hesitated, and some agreed on the spot.

It took a whole day to complete the rent refund. After the rent was refunded, Su Nuan was too tired to move. But the matter was not over yet. She still had follow-up operations. No matter what purpose Liu Qian had in destroying her business, it was unforgivable. If she didn't make him pay a price, there would be no place for her, Su Nuan, in the business circle of the imperial city in the future.
