When the prince of no descendants found out that he had a baby, he went crazy

Chapter 17 17 Suspected of bankruptcy, favors are not as good as monthly salary

Next, of the twenty-seven shopkeepers and managers in the restaurant, except Su Fuying and Gu Chen who were still sitting steadily next to Gu Hua, some other shopkeepers also asked to leave one after another.

Some people who originally had no intention of leaving, unable to resist the influence of the people in front of them, also wanted to stand up and sign up.

However, he was stopped by the calm and familiar shopkeeper who asked him to think twice and not act impulsively.

Gu Hua raised the corner of his mouth imperceptibly and glanced at the shopkeeper who stopped the man. He was a man in his thirties with a square face, but he had a calm and sharp personality.

"Which shop do you manage?" There were too many shopkeepers and Gu Hua was too busy recently, so he couldn't remember which shop this man was in charge of, so he asked.

"My dear boss, I am Fang Kuan, the owner of the grocery store in Lingshui Town."

"Oh." Gu Hua just remembered, "If you don't leave and miss this opportunity, you won't be able to receive your three-month severance pay."

Fang Kuan answered sincerely, neither servile nor overbearing, "I won't leave. Both the old and young masters Gu are kind people. If I leave, I'm afraid I'll never meet such a good master again."

Gu Hua smiled, but did not reveal whether she believed his words.

At this time, Gu Chen came over with a list and handed it to her, "Cousin, the shopkeepers who are leaving are all here."

"Thirteen." Gu Hua took it and glanced at it, "That's quite a lot."

Saw the list.

Gu Hua spoke in an ambiguous tone, saying, "You all know that the monthly salary of a shopkeeper is usually fifteen taels, but my father is kind and considers that you have followed him for many years, so he will give you twenty taels of silver per month."

Gu Hua's words were like a slap in the face of those shop owners who were eagerly surrounding them to collect their money and prepare to leave.

After all, they all knew that what Gu Hua said was true. The monthly salary offered by the Gu family was indeed higher than that of other families. However, any discerning person could see that the Gu family was on the verge of defeat. If they stayed any longer, they might not even get their monthly salary in the end.

As for the small favors that the Gu family had given in the past, one’s own interests were more important.

“If everyone is still willing to stay and work hard with the Gu family and me, when the shop business picks up, maybe my Gu family business will grow bigger and stronger and move beyond Jiangzhou City.

Even opening a shop in the capital..."

"Stop bragging." The shopkeeper with a mole on his face, who had already signed up to leave, curled his mustache and said disdainfully, "You want to make it bigger and stronger, and open a shop in the capital.

It's not that I look down on you, young master. If you had that ability, you wouldn't have ruined the Gu family business in just three years."

"Boss Gu, stop making promises to us and quickly pay us the three-month severance pay. We won't stay even if you tell us how much it will cost."

"That's right, give us the money quickly. We are in a hurry to find another job. We have long felt that you, the boss, are unreliable. Now you are still daydreaming."

……

As if they were worried that Gu Hua was unwilling to let go because so many shopkeepers had left, everyone's words became increasingly unpleasant.

"Don't go too far!!"

Gu Hua grabbed his cousin Gu Chen, who was about to go up and argue with others with an angry look on his face.

As if he had no temper, he said, "Since they want to leave, I, as their boss, will politely ask them to stay."

Then Gu Hua waved.

Everyone saw the two tall guards who had been following Gu Hua, Mu Feng and Mu Lei, walking in carrying a heavy box. At this time, everyone understood that the young master had been prepared, and his previous attempt to keep them was probably just out of courtesy, and he didn't want to give these people a chance to regret.

The shopkeepers present here would go to the Gu Mansion to deliver the account books at the end of every year, and they had all met their young master. However, at this moment, they somehow felt that there was something different about Gu Hua, as if she had become smarter, wiser, and more decisive in doing things.

The young master's drastic measures in inspecting the accounts this time also made them look at him with admiration.

"Cousin and Steward Su, please go and settle the money for the departing shopkeeper, so that we won't delay you from finding better jobs."

Su Fuying looked at the young master who could hardly hide the smile on his face. He felt that this man was becoming more and more difficult to understand.

Turning around and seeing those shopkeepers who distrusted Gu Hua and looked down on her, Su Fuying suddenly had an absurd thought: those people who were excited to receive the money and leave at this moment would regret it one day.

Before leaving, the shopkeeper who had received the severance pay reminded the dozen or so shopkeepers who stayed behind with a mocking look in his eyes: "If you don't leave, don't stay just for the sake of your temper. In the end, you won't even get your monthly salary."

"This is not something you should worry about." Gu Hua smiled coldly and said, "I wonder if you can find a job with a monthly salary of 20 taels of silver after you leave?"

When the shopkeepers mentioned this and left, they were not in the mood to mock others. They all left with their tails between their legs.

Because they all knew that there were probably not many masters in the entire Jiangzhou City who could afford and were willing to pay this monthly salary.

Wait until all those people have left.

The originally crowded third-floor lobby became sparsely populated. Including Su Fuying and Gu Chen, there were only fourteen shopkeepers left.

Gu Hua waved his hand again, and Mu Feng and Mu Lei brought up another box of silver.

"Since everyone is here today, you can take this month's salary home."

The shopkeepers who were originally worried looked at each other, wondering why the man who had just been crying poor and saying he couldn't pay next month's salary didn't look like someone who was about to go bankrupt.

Gu Hua looked at the huge pile of silver, and his heart bled as he thought that it was about to become someone else's.

All of this money was exchanged for silver bills in the original owner's small treasury, and the salaries were paid out like this. No wonder those black-hearted bosses are unwilling to give money to their employees even if they have it. If it weren't for his conscience and morals, Gu Hua would have the urge to default on his debts.

The shopkeeper who still had feelings for the Gu family resisted the temptation of money and said righteously: "We know that the young master is in a difficult time. Otherwise, we will not take this month's salary and save it to alleviate the lack of funds in the shop."

Gu Hua looked at the hundreds of taels of silver ingots in the box and smiled helplessly. The Gu family's business could not be solved with just a few hundred taels, and even a few thousand taels would be just a drop in the bucket and not even a sound would be heard.

"Yes, Young Master."

"Yes, yes, since she has chosen to stay, I am willing to give my monthly salary to the employer to support her through this difficult time."

Gu Hua looked at the youngest shopkeeper here, who was also the young man who had just been stopped by Fang Kuan.

Later, Gu Hua found out that the only reason this unstable shopkeeper could sit in this position was because he had a good father. Gu Hua was the son who always served his father. The original owner was concerned about his mother's early death, and his father died at the hands of robbers along with Gu's father and mother three years ago.

The original owner arranged for this kid to work as a shopkeeper in a grocery store in a town below.

Gu Hua is a conscientious boss. Seeing that these people did not choose to abandon and leave immediately when the Gu family was in trouble, he was willing to stay with them.

After careful consideration, stand up...
