Gu Yunjiao couldn’t help but sigh as well; Manager Sun’s loss this ti is truly enormous.
She couldn’t resist muttering, "These people just go in and rob, doesn’t the governnt office care?"
Mrs. Chen said, "It was just the governnt officials patrolling the streets that ca by, that’s why they ran off; otherwise, who knows how long they would have continued robbing."
The patrolling governnt officials walk around the nearby streets and only co by roughly every half an hour.
When they arrived and saw this situation, there wasn’t much they could do, really.
The officials were only ten people per team, and there were over a hundred people robbing things in Manager Sun’s shop; they couldn’t handle it, so they could only scold and intimidate them.
At least they managed to scare the people away.
In the end, those brothers carried big and small bags and left with their mother.
By evening, Renxin Hall was just about to close, and Gu Yunjiao saw Manager Sun hunching his back as he passed in front of the shop.
He walked very slowly, his eyes vacant, as if he had aged more than ten years all of a sudden.
Gu Yunjiao sighed inwardly.
She heard it all from Mrs. Chen; Manager Sun valued profits too highly, and if he had handled things a little better today, it wouldn’t have co to this.
Moreover, he was a bit harsh with his workers; if only he had been kinder, the workers would have defended him when trouble arose, and stood by him, rather than everyone turning their backs on him.
Gu Yunjiao glanced at her workers, "Do you think I’m good to you?"
Zhang Shun and Liu Zhu quickly said, "You’re the best boss in the world."
"Truly, in Manxiang City, no shop lets its workers eat at every day."
"Being able to work at Renxin Hall is the greatest blessing."
Liu Zhu sincerely added, "And the salary is good too."
Last month, Gu Yunjiao paid them each one tael and two qian of silver.
"The boss is also kind."
Gu Yunjiao nodded with a smile.
At this mont, a man with yellow teeth ca in from outside, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "My timing is just right, coming when you’re about to close with no one else here."
Seeing the cheerful look on his face, Gu Yunjiao knew well that the matter of buying the courtyard was very likely to be settled.
Sure enough, the man with yellow teeth smiled and said, "Congratulations, Doctor Gu."
"The people agreed to sell the courtyard at the back, fifty taels above market price, for a total of three hundred and fifty taels of silver."
"They said they weren’t going to sell it originally, but because it’s Doctor Gu who wants to buy it, they wanted to form a good relationship."
The man with yellow teeth chuckled, "Of course, it’s also because they have quite a few houses and don’t need this one, so they agreed."
"This house was previously rented out to several families living there."
Gu Yunjiao gave the man with yellow teeth a thumbs-up, "You’re really capable at handling things."
The man with yellow teeth was even happier, "I’ve arranged it all over there; if you have ti, Doctor Gu, let’s go to the governnt office tomorrow morning to finalize it."
Gu Yunjiao thought for a mont, "Alright, let’s set it for the morning; co by at that ti."
At worst, she’ll just see a few fewer patients tomorrow morning.
The man with yellow teeth nodded and smiled, "Then I won’t disturb you any longer; I know you’re busy, so I ca specifically at this ti."
He did co once during the day, but seeing the line of patients, he quietly left again.
After the man with yellow teeth left, Gu Yunjiao waved her hand, "Close the door and put up the boards."
Ah Tie usually doesn’t have to put up the boards; Gu Yunjiao thinks he’s small and shouldn’t do much physical work.
But now that Shen Qing had co and voluntarily helped with the boards, Ah Tie suddenly felt a sense of crisis and followed suit.
Gu Yunjiao found it amusing, these two, are they really getting competitive?
Indeed, people do need competitors.
