"What is it?"
Manager Zhang didn't say anything as he looked deeply at her.
Duan Xiaohe swept her eyes across the Liu San that He Sheng had called over, and suddenly became nervous. What did Qin Rui want to give him? Was it because she told him those words of Mo Jinyuan previously, that he took off his bracelet? Or perhaps it was because her conscience felt ashamed of him that she made up for it?
When Manager Zhang came back, he held a long and thin box in his hand. He sat opposite of Duan Xiaohe, but pushed the things in front of her.
She opened the box and saw that it was actually a painting scroll.
"This is …"
"The thing has always been left here. No one dares to touch it unless I tell them to. Second Boss can take it back to take a look. Didn't they say that they were going to close the door and eat together? "
It just so happened that Liu San came over, so Duan Xiaohe stopped her attempt to open the box and smiled towards him. What are you saying to He Sheng? "
"He Sheng said that he would be going to the warehouse in a while, I think we should go take a look as well, and look at Yao Zhen along the way."
She nodded, and left the things at the Manager Zhang for the time being, and the two followed He Sheng out. The warehouse wasn't far away, in a large house that was arranged in a row one street away from Fancy Dress. There was room for goods in front of the house, a large yard at the back, and several pieces of cloth in the sun.
He Sheng said that recently, some of the ingredients were a little damp, and from time to time, he would take them out to dry.
The door to a certain room opened and a person walked out with two books in his hands. Seeing the three of them stunned for a moment, he then greeted them with some surprise.
It wasn't Yao Zhen brat.
Duan Xiaohe saw that he was in good spirits, and noticed that she was doing well at ease. After chatting for a while, she could no longer hold back her urge to call him away, and ask him how the situation was with the Begonia. Yao Zhen laughed twice, causing her to be at a loss on what to do.
After walking around the warehouse like a leader inspecting the place, Duan Xiaohe finally found a problem. The warehouse had windows, but they were reluctant to open them. Many of the materials looked as if they were about to get wet.
After asking He Sheng, he said that he found a little thief here earlier, so he carefully closed all the windows. Since he had no other choice, he could only come over often and take a look, but when he saw the damp material, he quickly came out to dry.
The leader shook his head. It was not right to say that. There were so many people idling around in the store, why didn't he order a few to watch over the store? He Sheng said that he had thought about it too, but no one came.
"Are you willing to do this?" Do we work for them or do they work for us? Whoever pays will listen to them, and whoever has an opinion will stop working. There are a lot of people who want to find a job. "
Returning to the Fancy Dress, seeing that it was almost time, Duan Xiaohe ordered her men to close the store, and everyone went to eat jade. When she arrived, she looked at the entire dining hall and felt slightly worried. There shouldn't even be a seat upstairs right?
Manager Zhang made fun of them saying that he knew the jade food business was good, but he never thought that once they entered, not even the waiters had a way out, he just said that he would go back first and eat again when he had the chance. Liu San immediately waved his hand, telling him that it was just a hotpot, it would be fine if there was an empty space.
Duan Xiaohe was also very much in agreement, she let the waiter set up two tables outside the door, and surrounded the chairs, and so everyone sat down.
It didn't matter to the new employees that the men were always a little rough on the Fancy Dress, but those little girls were clearly unhappy. Only when Mo Jinyuan sat his butt back down did the little girls start to get happy again.
With her previous experience of eating hotpot, Qian Qiaoqiao immediately went to find someone to customize a pot with two different types of ingredients. Duan Xiaohe personally fried the base ingredients, and when the second brother came out with the hotpot, many people rushed to ask him if the jade food was new, why didn't they try it first? The waiter had a sweet mouth and said it was the shopkeeper's secret. However, if the guest felt that it was good, she could do it again. It would be fresh at any time.
Those who passed by looked fresh and hungry.
Mo Jinyuan had never eaten it like this before, and immediately felt that it was fresh. When they were done, they watched curiously as Duan Xiaohe put more dishes on the wok. What she liked she also wanted people to put more on it.
Those who were originally feeling shy did not care about what they ate after two bites. They just shouted that the meal had been a great one.
Many of the customers in the jade food were curious and came out to take a look. They wanted to go up to the table to try it, but seeing that this pot was also full of food, they felt disgusted and gave up.
Just by turning his back, he would ask the waiter about how to eat and sell at such a table.
After eating his fill, Mo Jinyuan took a deep glance at Duan Xiaohe, and said that she would come get food if she had the chance next time. Duan Xiaohe thought to herself that she had never seen such a shameless man before, there was a reason why Little County Princess didn't like him.
Once she returned to the Fancy Dress, she immediately held a small meeting, bringing up all the places that she felt there was a problem. Firstly, there was no need for so many people to stand at the door. Secondly, when the customers entered the store, the young ladies couldn't just stare at them like that. It was rude. Second, someone had to watch over the warehouse and ask the young lads if they had any interest in working there.
It was only because she was a woman and lived in the countryside for a long time, that the new young girls somewhat looked down on her. They didn't know how much she had taken into her words.
"Back then, you said it well, as long as we were standing on the doorstep, we would have the money to take it. Why are you saying now that you don't believe it?" As soon as a girl started talking, other girls started jeering.
Manager Zhang and Liu Wang were still considered dignified here, they knocked on the table and immediately quietened down.
Duan Xiaohe glanced at the girl who spoke. She was very pretty, with her delicate eyebrows and cherry lips, and her small face was white and tender. She was a young and beautiful girl.
"Do you really think that my money is so easy to earn?"
The girl looked at her with raised eyebrows, not quite wanting to answer. Duan Xiaohe curled her lips and smiled, telling Manager Zhang to remember her name.
The girl was surprised, "I didn't do anything wrong, why did you kick me out? Besides, I've already been here for a year and the time hasn't even arrived yet, so what right do you have to chase me away? "
"On what basis? "Because this shop belongs to me, and because you came to work for me." Duan Xiaohe cast her a cold glance, and revealed a faint imposing manner. Little girl, do you think you can become the Lady Boss if you look better? I'm just a small clothing store here, not a place for you to show off your beauty. "
The girl cried in response to her words. The ones she was on good terms with were all trying to persuade her in a low voice.
"If you work for me, you have to listen to me. I only need two girls on the surface, if it's possible to work in the embroidery industry, I can also stay to work as the embroidery lady, my Fancy Dress can afford to raise them. "I was just thinking of eating and waiting for death to come, I'll send you off right now."
The few girls all had unpleasant expressions, only one girl walked out hesitantly, saying that she knew how to embroider, but she couldn't compare to Begonia and Xia Yu. Duan Xiaohe looked at the two of them. Xia Yu stood up first and brought the girl in. When the few people outside saw that someone had gone in, they stood out and said that they, too, knew how to embroider flowers.
The Begonia sneered and brought them in.
Duan Xiaohe glanced at the lackeys who were rejoicing then and directly pointed out, "I need two of them to look at the warehouse. I will need the money to pay them, but I need to know my responsibilities. The number of people Manager Zhang brought over on the surface is already enough, so … Either go or stay.
Manager Zhang and Liu Wang were too amiable, but he felt that their Fancy Dress were not lacking in money, so raising two more people was not a problem. Which good business shop would not have a few idle people?
But Duan Xiaohe was unhappy.
Manager Zhang immediately ordered two people to stay, the other two said to look at the situation, if it really did not work, then find a good place for them to go. If there was a lack of people in the shop, then they would temporarily stay. After the young lad's problem was resolved, Duan Xiaohe told them to separate. She and Liu San waited for the young ladies to embroider flowers.
Liu Wang and Liu San Liu Da had not seen each other for a long time, so he sat down and talked about the matters in the village. Liu Wang's son, Gouzi, was already tired, so she followed Manager Zhang to go back to sleep. Duan Xiaoyue naturally accompanied her sister. On the other hand, Yao Zhen didn't have anything to do, so she kept it here to wait for the results.
Duan Xiaohe pulled the little girl and asked her how was Yao Zhen and the Begonia doing. The little girl's smile was somewhat subtle, but Duan Xiaohe was unable to make sense of it. Why are you all smiling like that? Why don't you all know how to talk? "
The little girl rubbed her nose and whispered into her ear, "I think we can do it, but we just need more time."
Begonia and Xia Yu led the girls out, leaving only one behind, the others shook their heads and said that they couldn't.
Duan Xiaohe told Liu Wang to remember the person, and to help him find a good place when the Manager Zhang comes over tomorrow, and to leave after he finds a place. The few girls unwillingly begged her, saying that in the future, they would not gather around to chat and watch people, and only hoped that they could stay at Fancy Dress and earn a decent sum of money to cover their family's needs.
She looked at him coldly a few times and said that she did not raise useless people.
The two of them stayed in the county city for another two days before pulling the reluctant Liu Da back to the Liu Village. He had already made an agreement before he left. A few days later, when he received the Old Man Liu to discuss the matter of Liu Da's marriage, he would bring Duan Xiaoyue home for the New Year. As for the Begonia, he still had to ask her parents for their opinion.
After returning to the village, he would need to find Old Man Liu to talk about Liu Da's marriage, since Duan Xiaohe said that it would not be appropriate for him to talk about it, so she left the village and asked the Liu San to go by herself. After the people had left, she took out the painting and cast a glance at it with trepidation.
There was only one woman in the painting, dressed in gold and silver. A face that can topple a nation, just sitting quietly on a painting is enough to make a person lose his mind.
Duan Xiaohe's heart pounded and she unconsciously lifted her hand to rub her face. Those eyes and nose and mouth were exactly similar to her!
She took a deep breath and went to the bronze mirror, comparing left and right. Everyone said that her daughter was like her father, but she wasn't like him at all. What do you mean by 'biological'? This is simply carved from the same mold, isn't it the same as biological?!
Who was this woman in the painting?
