Chapter 1922: The Old Lady is Returning

"Secondly, in the business world, some competition and intrigue are inevitable. Even if we don't want to engage in schemes, it's hard to avoid them. However, I hope any such conflicts will be healthy competition. Even if it's unavoidable, we should not harm innocent lives. If it involves others, compensate them promptly," Shu Yu explained.

Jiang Fengshou nodded repeatedly. "Miss, you can trust me. I understand."

"As long as you maintain that understanding, I won't mistreat you. Besides your regular salary, if you achieve good results, there will be bonuses at the end of the year or month. If you perform exceptionally well, I might even reward you with a house in the city."

Jiang Fengshou suddenly lifted his head in surprise. A house as a reward? The boss's generosity was remarkable.

Shu Yu didn't think she was promising too much. As long as people were loyal and worked diligently for her, such rewards were well-deserved.

She showed him the contract, and after he read it, he promptly signed without hesitation, as if afraid that she might change her mind.

Shu Yu continued, "The shop is still under renovation, so we can't start operations yet. However, there's a lot of preparation work to be done before the grand opening. Since we signed the contract today, your salary will start from today. When you go back, think about what needs to be done before the opening, what activities can attract customers. Organize your thoughts and present them to me."

"Yes, Boss."

"By the way, on the 25th, I'll be recruiting assistants. You will oversee that."

The recruitment of assistants would be simpler, and Shu Yu almost entirely delegated it to Jiang Fengshou. Based on his performance during this encounter, she was quite satisfied.

As for Lu Sanzhu, he didn't follow them this time. He came out to gain experience and see the world. At the very least, he needed to visit places like Changjin Prefecture Peach Blossom Forest, Osmanthus Forest, and Swan Lake; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to report back to Ji Dong's family.

The last assistant recruited was named Li Rongman, and coincidentally, he was from Hedeng Village.

Shu Yu felt like she recognized him when she saw him, and upon closer examination, she realized where she had seen him before.

During their one-on-one conversation, she learned that he had rushed over from Hedeng Village early that morning.

According to him, a couple of days ago, Grandma Fang had returned to Hedeng Village to visit everyone and mentioned that Shu Yu was recruiting assistants but only those who could read. Anyone interested could give it a try.

There weren't many literate people in the village, and Li Rongman happened to be one of them, with previous experience as an assistant.

So, the village elder had approached him and said that if he wanted to try, he could, but he needed to follow the normal procedure. He shouldn't reveal that he was from Hedeng Village in advance, so as not to influence Shu Yu's decision.

In fact, Li Rongman wasn't alone; two others from Hedeng Village had also come, but they weren't selected.

Shu Yu suddenly understood why Grand Aunt had hesitated when she mentioned recruiting assistants that day. However, after she emphasized the requirement of literacy, Grand Aunt had left.

This way, Li Rongman had entered solely based on his abilities, and Shu Yu hadn't shown any favoritism.

With this, they had a complete team of shop manager and assistants.

Zhou Tiedong was still recovering, but Li Rongman had started working alongside Jiang Fengshou since his salary was effective from the day they signed the contract. After two days of working together, they seemed to get along well.

On the 28th day of the first month, Grandma Lu's carriage departed from Chenggu County and arrived at Changjin Prefecture.

They would stay here for one night, and the next day they would begin their journey back to Dong'an Prefecture.
