Chapter 892: You're Confused

"You're confused!" The middle-aged man suddenly stood up, pointed at him, and exclaimed, "Do you know what you're doing? Do you know who she is? And yet, you terminated the contract with her, and worse, you terminated it on the grounds that we violated the terms."

Manager Qiu was startled, not understanding why the master suddenly got so angry.

The master didn't usually interfere with the small businesses in the shop. Usually, it was Manager Qiu who made the decisions. In the past, this would have been a trivial matter, and the master wouldn't have cared.

The middle-aged man paced back and forth, feeling an indescribable frustration. He kicked the attendant standing nearby in the foot.

The attendant fell to his knees with a thud. "Master..."

The middle-aged man continued to glare at them with an unfriendly expression. Then he turned to Manager Qiu and said, "Go to the clothing shop immediately. Find Lu, apologize to her, compensate her if necessary, and reestablish the cooperative contract with a better attitude."

Manager Qiu was shocked, his face filled with disbelief. "Master, what... what happened?"

"What happened?" The middle-aged man sneered. "Lu Shu Yu has become a village lord. She returned triumphant after accomplishing great deeds. The bulletin board at the city gate is filled with announcements. If you're still unclear, go and see it for yourself! Go and see!"

Manager Qiu's mouth hung open in shock as he unconsciously murmured, "Village lord..."

How could this happen?

The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes. "Manager Qiu, this mess was caused by you. If you don't resolve it properly, you won't need to continue being the manager anymore."

After saying that, he flung his sleeve and left the cloth shop with his attendants.

He had been so happy and fortunate when he arrived, but now he was furious and felt like spitting blood.

He wasn't afraid of this newly-appointed village lord. His industry extended beyond this cloth shop, and he had the connections to make it the largest cloth shop in Jiangyuan County.

But what used to be a good business partnership had been offended and severed by Manager Qiu. Who knew if this would sow future trouble?

"Manager Qiu is becoming more confused as he grows older. If this matter can't be salvaged, he doesn't need to stay here anymore."

Manager Qiu stood still for a while, and the attendant climbed up from the ground and quietly asked, "Manager, is what the master said true?"

How would Manager Qiu know?

With a tense expression, he ran out of the shop without a word, heading straight for the city gate.

He managed to squeeze into the crowd and read the announcement. Any remaining trace of hope vanished.

It really was... her.

Thinking of the last words the master had left before departing, Manager Qiu's face turned pale. He hurriedly ran towards Ningshui Street.

However, he was still a step too late. He realized he wasn't the only one who recognized Shu Yu's identity from the announcement. People who knew the news had already rushed to Yiren Pavilion.

They didn't know where Shu Yu currently resided, but her shop was well known.

So early in the morning, just as Da Niu had opened the shop, a crowd of customers flooded in.

In just half an hour, the shop's clothes and inventory were completely sold out, leaving nothing behind.

When Manager Qiu arrived, the shop was packed inside and out, and he couldn't even squeeze in.

By the time he managed to push his way to the front, Da Niu had already closed the shop's door.

Manager Qiu stood at the door, dazed. He murmured, "It's over."
