Shu Yu nodded, "Indeed, I admire shopkeeper Wei's abilities. I believe my family's shop needs a manager like him."
Wei Ronghua stared at her, "Miss..."
"This young lady, are you joking?" The new owner interrupted Wei Ronghua, finding the situation amusing. "Your shop is located in the city. Do you know whom Wei Ronghua offended in the capital? Lord Miao! If you hire him, Lord Miao will target you."
Shu Yu turned her head, "I know."
"You know? And you still hired him? Do you want your shop to fail?" Attendant Feng said.
"Boss, why are you talking so much with her? I think this young lady is just speaking casually. There might not even be a shop in the city," attendant Feng whispered to the new shop owner, "This girl came earlier, bought pastries from shopkeeper Wei, and spoke to him. She probably saw shopkeeper Wei misfortune and came out to defend him."
Though it seemed like they were whispering, their voices weren't low, and everyone present heard them.
Upon hearing this, Hu Geng and Wei Fangfang's surprised expressions faded a bit.
However, Shu Yu smiled and said, "Of course, there is a shop." She looked at the tray of Hong xiang gou pastries before her. "This owner has 3 shops."
"Three..."
Attendant Feng immediately shook his head, "Impossible."
The new shop owner also sneered with a stern face, "Young lady, you don't need to brag here. Don't put yourself in a difficult situation."
"This young lady isn't bragging." A voice suddenly sounded from outside the door.
Ying Xi, standing beside Shu Yu, whispered, "It sounds like master Wu's voice."
Sure enough, moments later, a few people saw Wu Fengyuan walking out from behind the crowd.
The new shop owner obviously knew him, "Young Master Wu?"
His family only had two pastry shops, while Wu's family owned a large farm. Their livestock trade dominated Donggu County and even the nearby counties.
In the presence of Wu Fengyuan, the new shop owner's attitude immediately softened.
Wu Fengyuan glanced at him and walked to Shu Yu's side with a smile. "So this is what you're busy with, Miss Lu Xiangjun?"
"Lu Xiangjun?" The crowd turned to look at her. Was this Lu Xiangjun from Jiangyuan County?!
Shu Yu hadn't expected him to be right outside the door, observing the entire scene.
"Yes, since the shop is about to open, someone introduced me to shopkeeper Wei. I came to take a look. Originally, I thought that shopkeeper Wei was doing well here, and I probably wouldn't be able to persuade him away. I was actually thinking of asking shopkeeper Wei to introduce me to another capable person. But unexpectedly, things took a turn. The contract between shopkeeper Wei and this shop has expired. It seems my luck is quite good."
The crowd listened with surprise and confusion. What did she mean?
Was this Lu Xiangjun specially here for Wei Ronghua?
Even Wei Ronghua, who had always been composed, showed a shocked expression.
He suddenly remembered that the young lady had deliberately dressed as a middle-aged woman when she came in yesterday, and today she didn't mention her pastry order.
So, was she here... to test him?
Wu Fengyuan burst into laughter, "It seems Lu Xiangjun values shopkeeper Wei greatly. However, I've also heard of shopkeeper Wei's abilities. Unfortunately, I run a stable, not a food shop. Otherwise, I would also compete with Lu Xiangjun. Talented people like shopkeeper Wei will always find success wherever they go."
