Chapter 310 Angry
There was a sound of something falling to the ground. Although the sound was not loud, it was enough to attract everyone's attention.
Everyone looked in the direction where the sound came from, and saw the owner of Hongyunlou behind the counter frantically trying to pick up his pen.
Just as Zhao Xiuwan was about to speak, Wang spoke first, "Oh, are you panicking because you know there's a new manager in this building? There's no point in panicking, after all, Madam Qian is the one who has the final say in this building. Since she said my Rui'er is the new manager, you're useless."
The original shopkeeper's face was pale. He looked at the people in the hall, then set his eyes on Zhao Xiuwan and bowed deeply, "Thank you for your kindness. I, Xu Mo, am not someone who will not leave. It just so happens that I have sorted out the accounts for last month yesterday. The boss just needs to review them. From now on, these things will be handed over to Shopkeeper Nangong."
Wang was delighted when she heard this, and she kept encouraging Nangong Rui, "Why are you still standing here? Go and take over the accounts! Madam Qian has said she wants to hire you. Why are you still standing there like an idiot? Go now!"
Nangong Rui looked embarrassed. He looked at the former shopkeeper who claimed to be Xu Mo, then looked at his mother, and then thought of the whole family. He could only sigh softly, "I'm sorry for that."
"What you said, you have the ability to ask Madam Qian to hire you as the shopkeeper, what is there to be sorry about!" Wang said.
"Can you please say less?" Nangong Rui couldn't help but said angrily.
Seeing Nangong Rui lose his temper, Wang was not afraid, but just shrank her head and stopped talking.
Zhao Xiuwan's face was not looking good either. She knew in her heart that Xu Mo had done a good job, and she felt a little guilty for firing him. But then she thought again, the voices in the building were not found by Xu Mo, most of them were from the army, and they came to her for Qian Feng's sake. In the future, more people will probably come for Nangong Rui's sake. After all, Nangong Rui was also from the Black Tiger Guards and had served as the acting governor of the entire Mangcheng.
Compared to Xu Mo, who was a clerk, Nangong Rui knows more people.
Thinking of this, she calmed down. Xu Mo also said that she was grateful to Xu Mo for his help.
"Okay, okay, Shopkeeper Xu has done a great job for me. Here are twenty taels of silver as a reward for you. From today on, Shopkeeper Nangong will be fully responsible for the affairs of the store." Zhao Xiuwan said, and then she took out twenty taels of silver and gave it to Xu Mo.
Xu Mo did not refuse and accepted it directly.
He needed money. He had a mother at home who needed medical treatment, and a younger brother who was about to reach school age. He wanted to send his younger brother to study and take the imperial examinations in the future so that he would not have to hang around in the market like he had and could only work as a waiter.
So these twenty taels are also very important to him.
After taking the silver, Xu Mo handed everything in his hand to Nangong Rui.
Actually, it was nothing, just all the accounts of the restaurant, including the warehouse, the wine cellar, and the accounts of several people who delivered vegetables and meat. He happened to have sorted out the previous restaurant accounts yesterday, which really saved a lot of time, and then there were the keys to the various warehouses in the restaurant.
Under the watchful eyes of Zhao Xiuwan, he handed over all the accounts and keys to Nangong Rui, and his job was thus completed.
He went to his room at the back, tidied up a little, packed up his bag and walked out.
In order to make it easier for him to run the store, Zhao Xiuwan arranged a room in the backyard of the restaurant for him to stay in at night. He didn't have much stuff, just some clothes to change into, which was easy to pack.
After coming out, he handed the room key to Nangong Rui, then said goodbye and left.
Su Jixiang saw Xu Mo leave, and there was nothing else to watch, so she said to Zhao Xiuwan, "Since you have a new shopkeeper, you should have something to tell him. I won't waste your time. Congratulations."
Although she didn't know what Su Jixiang was congratulating her for, Zhao Xiuwan still felt that there was something else behind this congratulation. She couldn't figure out what was wrong with it.
"Manager Nangong is just a manager here, which is different from yours. It's just that your general's mansion would mistreat people." Zhao Xiuwan still replied.
"Okay. What you said is right. There's no point in arguing with you. I'll leave first." Su Jixiang was too lazy to talk nonsense with Zhao Xiuwan, so he took Guihua and left.
After leaving Hongyun Tower, Guihua turned around and snorted, "Mrs. Qian is so rude! Did she call us here today just to let us see that she hired Nangong Rui?"
Since Nangong Ruidu was abandoned by the General's Mansion, naturally everyone stopped calling him Wei Rui.
"You really figured it out!" Su Jixiang said with a smile.
"No, what's the point?" Guihua asked in confusion, "To show that she is more righteous than us? Then when Nangong Rui's family owed so much money and he had no way to borrow money, why didn't Madam Qian jump out to help? Oh, now let's say these sarcastic remarks. Besides, although Nangong Rui entered our general's mansion in the name of selling his body, how did Madam and the Marquis treat him unfairly? They provided him with good food, drink and shelter. Although he was a slave, it seemed that Madam and the Marquis had never told him to do anything. He just followed Weidong to patrol the courtyard all day. Did we treat him unfairly? What's more, when Madam asked him to leave, she directly burned his IOU and indenture in public, and she didn't ask him for a penny of the debt. How did we let him down? In my opinion, Madam did the right thing. Nangong Rui can't be tamed."
"Okay. I'm not angry, so why are you angry?" Su Jixiang found it funny.
"I just think it's unfair that Madam spent so much money behind the scenes for Nangong Rui. Why not buy something else with so much money?" Guihua said angrily.
"Okay. I helped Nangong Rui out of the Marquis's affection for him. Since he still chose his relatives, we don't need to care too much. After all, that's his biological mother, and we in the General's Mansion have done our best. As for how he will go in the future, it's up to him. It has nothing to do with us." Su Jixiang said with a smile to comfort Guihua.
Wei Ling is still patrolling the camp and is currently unaware of this incident. I wonder if Wei Ling will be angry after he comes back because he took Nangong Rui away without permission.
Su Jixiang thought for a moment and then put the matter behind her. She didn't have that much time to think about it. "Go back and find Weidong to learn more about Xu Mo. I think he can be used. Zhao Xiuwan mistook pearls for fish eyes. We must not bury such talents."
