Rebirth of the poor elder sister-in-law

Chapter 221
"Master, Master." In the evening, Liu Man'er finished her meal and was about to go to rest for a while, but just after leaving the hall, Han Shixin hurried over again.

"What's the matter?" Liu Man'er stood still and asked, "We came back so late, we ate without waiting for you, and there is food left in the pot for you."

"No, I had dinner outside today." Han Shixin said with some embarrassment: "President Chen invited me to dinner."

"Just him?" Liu Man'er asked casually.

"Well, it's still about business." Han Shixin scratched his head and said, "President Chen asked us to print 1000 copies for him in seven days, and the price is still [-] taels."

"Do you think we can print it in seven days?" Liu Man'er raised her eyebrows and asked.

"If you let the guys work hard, it's not a problem." Han Shixin said seriously after estimating the manpower of the printing workshop.

"Then take it." Liu Man'er nodded and said, "Let him pay the money first, and the guys will pay them according to their work. As long as they have money, I don't worry if they don't work hard."

"But the problem now is that this time, President Chen said that he can only pay the money after receiving the goods." Han Shixin said with some embarrassment.

"Then there's nothing to talk about, no more printing." Liu Man'er waved her hand and said, "I don't have money to print woolen yarn."

"However, President Chen is still reliable." Han Shixin still doesn't want to give up this business easily. In his opinion, President Chen has done several transactions with them after all, so he is still reliable. What's more, President Chen's The family business is here, so I'm not afraid of him cheating.

"My rule is to pay first." Liu Man'er frowned.

If it's someone else, she'll just pay it back. If it's President Chen, there's no need to talk about it if you don't have money.

She guessed that he wanted to use this batch of goods to deliver the goods first, and then settle his own payment after getting the other party's payment. Hey, she just refused to let him do what he wanted, and let him know the consequences of offending her.

"But..." Han Shixin still wanted to speak for President Chen, he was really reluctant to give up this big deal.

"My Uncle Han, your heart is really generous. Last time he wanted to seize our printing workshop, but it was only a few hundred taels of profit. You forgot it so quickly." Liu Man'er glanced at Han Shixin , I don’t want to talk too much with him, I went to the study to get busy on my own.

Han Shixin stood in place, and sighed after a long time, knowing that this matter could not be done, he didn't hold grudges, but he just heard what Liu Man'er said, and didn't see Liu Man'er and others have any new actions, so for a while For a while, he put this matter behind him.

So, the next day, when President Chen came to look for Han Shixin again, Han Shixin remembered Liu Man'er's words and rejected him straight away.

As a buyer, President Chen was originally high-ranking and tough, but this time seeing Han Shixin's firm stand, he had to soften his voice and beg. Han Shixin softened his heart several times, but in the end he still did not compromise.

On the way home, Han Shixin was still a little bit reluctant to part with these white silver taels, and he still sighed when he got home.

Liu Man'er saw Han Shixin sighing in front of her all afternoon, how could she not know Han Shixin's thoughts, but she didn't point it out, just said: "Uncle Han, do you have nothing to do this afternoon?"

"I have nothing to do. The guys in the printing workshop are all idle. Feng Yongkang and the others take care of the teahouse, and I'm also idle. Thinking that these guys will lose a lot of wages if they miss a day, I feel distressed."

Knowing that Han Shixin said this on purpose, Liu Man'er smiled helplessly: "Uncle Han, you don't need to make such a gesture to persuade me. If the workers in the printing workshop have nothing to do, you can let them print books. Anyway, since President Chen is coming to buy books , then there must be a market, print more, I am not afraid that it will not be sold."

"Okay." Seeing that Liu Man'er already knew what he was thinking, Han Shixin didn't waste any more words. The owner was right, even if he didn't sell it to President Chen, he could sell it to someone else. What's more, it might be printed first. When no buyer can be found, the owner will change his mind.

Thinking of this, Han Shixin did not frown. He is a man of action. After he has a goal, he no longer wastes time. He walked out of the study and went to the printing workshop to get busy.

Seeing his back, Liu Man'er shook her head helplessly, counting the days, it is only the end of April now, and the money she owed must be paid off in the near future.

Continuing to be busy with her own affairs, after this period of time, her writing speed has become faster and faster. After thinking about the plot in her mind, under the full concentration, her writing is even more flamboyant, like a divine help.

Everything else is secondary, her scripts are the most important, as long as she has them, she will not worry about making money, she finished writing a chapter, looked at Ye Feng and others, they are all serious Really doing their own things, Liu Man'er's heart surged with motivation again. In order to give these children a better future and enable them to do what they like wholeheartedly, she still has to work hard.

For the past few days, Liu Man'er has been working hard on writing the storybook, and Han Shixin is also busy with the printing workshop, so she didn't bother her anymore, but President Chen is in trouble now, and the book was burned, and finally he couldn't hide it. The shopkeeper, who knew about this matter, was sitting in the hall of his house at the moment, asking him for an explanation.

After all, this business belongs to everyone, and the money was pooled together by everyone. If it was burned at his place, he should be responsible.

At this moment, in the spacious hall of President Chen's house, everyone was arguing endlessly. The shopkeepers who used to be gentle and polite outside and paid attention to face no longer cared about their image at this moment, and they were blushing and neck thick.

"I said President, this book was burned in your house, and you should be responsible."

"Although the old man was burned here, the old man did not expect such a thing to happen. That day, a thief entered outside and deliberately burned our books. The old man was also very uncomfortable, and the old man was also a victim, but you forced it like this. Where do we put our past friendship?" President Chen said in a good voice.

"President Chen, my brother is still clear about the accounts. You are the president, and we all believe in you, so we put the book in your place for safekeeping. But now, you said that the book was burned, and you sent us away with just one sentence. Our money is in vain." A middle-aged man with a goatee stood up and said:

"To put it bluntly, you said it was burned, but who knows whether it was actually burned or not. What if some people guarded and stole it and pretended to be on fire, that might be the case."

"Shopkeeper Wen, what do you mean by that?" As the president of the bookstore, President Chen can be regarded as highly respected in this circle. When the shopkeeper surnamed Wen said this, he couldn't hold back his face, and his whole face turned black. up.

"It's nothing interesting, but whoever loses our books will compensate us." Shopkeeper Wen said coldly.

For their own benefit, everyone is not afraid of offending President Chen. Anyway, the president of the bookstore is elected by everyone. At worst, the bookstore can change to a new president, and they are not afraid of President Chen.

"Crack!" Seeing the bad attitude of shopkeeper Wen, President Chen slapped the table heavily, stood up, and glared at him. Shopkeeper Wen met his eyes without fear. After a while, shopkeeper Wen snorted coldly, The people said:

"Everyone, please tell me, is this the reason? No matter what the reason is, in short, it happened with President Chen. Is it true that the losses that President Chen brought to us should be borne by everyone?"

"That's right, President Chen, we asked you to be the president of this bookstore because you were responsible, but now that such a big thing happened, you didn't tell us all in a secret way. After we found out, you still Shirking responsibility, is this what a president should do?"

"That's right. It was originally planned that each of us would invest 100 taels, and each of us could get a profit of 100 taels. Now I think I'm unlucky, and I don't want the profit. Just give us the principal of 100 taels."

"Yes, at least you have to give us the principal!" Someone echoed.

Originally, everyone thought that President Chen must return the principal and profits to everyone, but now there is really no other way, and everyone just thought of getting their principal back.

"Everyone, it's not just everyone who lost this time. I invested the most and lost the most." President Chen stretched out his hand to signal everyone to be calm, and said, "I've already told Shopkeeper Han that I will give him 1000 taels and let him To print [-] books within seven days, we must first respond to emergencies, otherwise, we will not be able to deliver the goods when the merchants from other places arrive."

Hearing President Chen's words, someone immediately said: "President Chen, this is your business, and we don't care about it later, as long as you return our principal to us."

"Don't be impatient, everyone, the principal will definitely be returned to everyone, but I have to wait until the goods come out and the merchant has given the money, and then I will give the money to everyone."

"This won't work, we need the principal, what if the goods arrive and then get burned?" Someone immediately said: "In the future, our bookstore will sell this script, so we'd better go to shopkeeper Han to buy it ourselves." If it’s more expensive, it’s more expensive, as for the business of the merchants, we’ll leave it to President Chen.”

As soon as the words came out, the people present responded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes!"

"Everyone, if you insist on doing this, the old man can't do anything about it. How about this, I will treat this principal as a loan from you, and I will return it to you in two months."

"No, President Chen, you are also in this business. You should know our hardships. We all operate on small capitals. The 100 taels of principal is not a small amount for us. President Chen borrows as much as he wants. How can it be done? If President Chen insists on If you refuse to return our principal, then we can only see the government!"
