Prosperous advisors

Chapter 296
Now that another master suddenly appeared, and it was still a young master, these people would naturally not be happy.It felt like a half-swallowed delicacy from mountains and seas, just tasted it and was forced to spit it out before it could be savored carefully.Everyone will feel dissatisfied.

In the study room, everyone was discussing.Just outside the door, a handsome young man in white clothes and holding a folding fan walked in slowly.At the first glance, everyone was stunned, no matter who saw this young man, they had to praise Lanzhi Yushu for being handsome and elegant.If such a character is said to be the noble son raised by the scholarly family, no one will believe it, but if he is said to be in charge of these huge industries, no one will be convinced.When they met for the first time, they couldn't help feeling a little contemptuous.

"This is our young master, Young Master Liuyun." Mei Niang introduced to everyone with a smile.

"I've seen you, Young Master." All the stewards hurriedly stood up to salute, but there was no respect in their brows.Seeing this, Meiniang frowned slightly and wanted to say something, but seeing Mu Qingyi shook her head slightly, she swallowed back the words that came to her mouth.

Mu Qingyi walked to the front seat and sat down, Meiniang sat down on her right hand, but Wuxin stood motionless behind her, looking at everyone indifferently.

Seeing this appearance, everyone was startled, and said in a puzzled way: "My lord, this is..."

Mu Qingyi said lightly: "This is my bodyguard, don't worry about it."

Seeing Wuxin, who was obviously not easy to provoke, everyone felt a little uneasy, and for a while, they were not sure who the calm little master in front of them was.

Mu Qingyi didn't intend to be polite to them, so she casually took out an account book from the side table and threw it in the middle of the table, asking, "Whose is it?"

Everyone looked up, and a shrewd man in his 40s stood up and said, "Master Hui, it's the youngest one. The youngest one is Zhou Cheng who is in charge of the restaurant."

Mu Qingyi raised his eyes, looked at him lightly, and said, "The Gu family's business is dominated by Xiyue's restaurants. You are in charge of six restaurants around the capital, including Yuehualou, which is one of the best in the imperial city. Every month With a monthly income of more than 7 taels, you tell me now that there is only less than 30 taels left in the account books in the past four years?"

Zhou Cheng's face tightened, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Master Hui, the younger one handed over the revenue to Steward Mei every year! Naturally, there is no money in the restaurant's account books."

Mu Qingyi sneered and said, "That's right, in the past three years, three years ago you handed in 50 taels, two years ago you paid 35 taels, and last year you paid 20 taels. good……"

"This... Now that there are many restaurants in the capital, it's really hard to do business." Zhou Cheng bit the bullet and said.

Mu Qingyi nodded and said: "You don't know how to do business, so you don't have to do it. I will only send someone who can do it to take over. In addition... there is still a shortfall of 67 taels in the account book. Within three days, all Make it up, one or two less... let's see you at the government."

"Six... 67 taels..." Zhou Cheng's face turned pale, how could he get more than 60 taels all at once?What was even more unexpected was that this Gu Liuyun could even count the odds clearly, "No! Young Master, you are spitting out... I... Where do I have so much money?"

Mu Qingyi smiled, and said, "Oh? Then your big mansion in the capital, the three villas outside the city, and I heard that your fourth concubine spent 2000 taels just to redeem her body." .You can make up 10,000+ taels by selling casually, right? There are also those shops under your wife's natal family...Zhou Cheng, you are presumptuous!"

As soon as he slapped the table, the seemingly petite and thin man's aura was indeed extraordinary. Looking at the frosty young man in front of them, everyone was shocked, "Zhou Cheng, you were just a failed scholar, and you were so poor that you almost starved to death on the street. The previous generation's steward who was in charge of the business in the imperial city saved you and trained you to become the steward of the restaurant. Is this how you repay the Gu family? I will tell you now that the Gu family has the ability to lift you up and step you into the dirt again. !"

Zhou Cheng still wanted to die, "No, young master, you are bloody. I have worked hard for the Gu family all my life, and in the end I ended up like this...Young master, you framed a hero, and I refuse to accept it! Don't you guys want to speak up for me? If you end up like this, you will be like me tomorrow."

Some of the people present were a little shaken, after a moment of hesitation, someone finally said: "My lord..."

Before she finished speaking, Mu Qingyi smiled and said, "Guard Huang, don't rush to speak. I will settle the score with you later!"

"Chen Guanshi, Lin Guanshi." Mu Qingyi said flatly.

A middle-aged man and a sixty-year-old man stood up and said respectfully, "My lord."

Mu Qingyi smiled lightly and said: "You two have worked hard these past few years. No one will add 2 taels to this year's salary. In addition, Manager Lin, I heard that you have a son who is quite talented. If you are interested, you can Teach him a little bit. If he is competent, he can take on your burden in the future."

Hearing this, Steward Lin was overjoyed.He has worked hard all his life for his property, and he has inherited a fortune.But there are two sons under his knees, and this bit of property is not enough.If the eldest son inherits his inheritance, and the second son can take over his position, it would be fair to both sons.

"Thank you for your kindness, young master. The young one must teach the dog well, and he will not dare to let down the kindness of young master."

Mu Qingyi smiled and nodded, signaling Wuxin to go over and help the old man up.Looking sideways at Chen Guanshi on the other side, he said with a smile: "Chen Guanshi is in his prime, do you have the will to go up to a higher level?"

That steward Chen was startled, and hastily said: "This subordinate must be heartbroken for you."

"I don't need your heart and brains, I just need to do my best." Mu Qingyi smiled, "From now on, Zhou Cheng's property will also be handed over to you."

"Yes, young master." Chen Guanshi was overjoyed, Zhou Cheng's property was two or three times more than what he originally managed.Although Zhou Cheng is not the owner of these restaurants, he is the manager on the bright side, even among the merchants in the imperial city, he is very respectable.

Seeing Mu Qingyi handing everything over to others in a whisper, Zhou Cheng's face turned blue and purple, "Young master...Young master, I'm wronged...Young master, be careful."

"Mingcha?" Mu Qingyi looked at him with a half-smile and said, "If you can tell me... where you came from, married a concubine before, and bought real estate, I'll think about Mingcha."

Zhou Cheng was dumbfounded, how could he say it.I have been in charge for too long, how can I not be tempted by the countless money flowing through my hands every day?At the beginning, it was just a little bit of small movement, as long as he was careful, no one would notice it.But then gradually the movements became bigger and bigger, and even he couldn't stop himself.What's more, in the past few years, no one from the master's house has come to monitor, and gradually he has become more and more casual, and occasionally even wonders whether he can make these things his own.
