Chapter 149: Countermeasures
Qiu Yan was worried about Lu Chiye's safety, and after calling this little guy out, he grabbed Lu Chiye's wrist and shook his head vigorously at him.
"No, I won't allow you to go alone! The person who brought us something is already very arrogant, if you go alone, how can I rest assured? Anyway, you are allowed to go! β
"Don't worry, I know it." Lu Chiye gently patted the back of her hand, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a sneer.
"The guy who brought the note didn't really think I'd listen to him like that, would he? Then he was a little too naΓ―ve. β
"If I behave too obediently, then the initiative will fall into the hands of the other party this time, don't worry, so I will definitely not go alone."
"That's right, is there anything I need to arrange for you? Why don't I get a few more people to stay with you? Otherwise, I really don't feel at ease at all! β
For Shang Qiuyan's concerned eyes, Lu Chi's ambition was warm in his heart.
took the initiative to pat her on the back, and after that, word by word, he said slowly.
"This time, not only will I not go alone, but I will be openly and honestly with people by my side. I want to see what kind of medicine is sold in the other party's gourd. β
"Then pay attention, didn't we just train a batch of martial arts strong martial arts here a while ago? When you bring those guys, you have to pick the best guys, and you have to make sure you get out of the way, you know? β
The husband and wife glanced at each other tacitly, until they saw Lu Chiye nodding and agreeing, and Qiu Yan was relieved.
Then, deliberately accompanied by him, I watched him walk outside accompanied by his others.
Although I can rest assured a little, I really can't figure out what will happen after Lu Chiye really goes to see the other party, and I feel a lot in my heart.
In order not to let himself be cranky, he specially called the housekeeper over.
She knew in her heart that during these days, Lu Chiye had been trying to find a way to deal with the affairs of those dangerous people outside.
In addition, I have to take care of her, in fact, the business is also a little lax, and it is estimated that there are already a lot of things piled up on hand.
She also doesn't want to be the kind of person who makes trouble for Lu Chiye in the back.
Therefore, I stood up and moved a little, and found that my physical condition in the past few days had been much better than before, so I hurriedly beckoned the maid and called several important shopkeepers and stewards over.
Taking advantage of the good sunshine today, I discussed with them in the courtyard how the business of the store has been recently.
The shopkeeper also has a lot of respect for Qiu Yan, and he admires her for still taking care of the store's business with an injury.
I told her all about the situation of the store these days.
Although something happened before, fortunately, the two found out in time, and quickly dealt with the few people who were making trouble behind.
Now business has also recovered and has not been affected too much.
However, the most critical opportunity was delayed before, and the competition in the business field will never stop, so the income during this period is far less than when it was not hit at the beginning.
After Qiu Yan carefully looked at the income on the account book for the past two months, he took the initiative to suggest it to a few shopkeepers.
"I think we can do some activities similar to promotions and discounts in the future, and play some new tricks by the way."
"We can recommend to the guests who come to the store, let them apply for membership, and after membership, you can let them recharge some money, and once they recharge to a certain amount, they can get a discount on things they buy later."
"And if you have points, you can also redeem gifts during the New Year's holidays, and I think this will definitely attract more guests."
"After all, everyone wants to buy more for the least amount of money, isn't it?"
"Madame's point makes sense, but we haven't heard of this membership system before, won't it be troublesome to start?"
Facing the suspicion of one of the shopkeepers, Qiu Yan smiled calmly.
said indifferently, "It's not difficult, I'll teach you when the time comes, and you'll be able to get started soon." β
"This matter is put on the agenda first, it doesn't matter if the individual profit is not high, as long as the quantity is increased, the income will naturally be able to satisfy us."
"Okay, you guys sit down together, let's discuss it carefully and handle the relevant matters of membership."
Naturally, the shopkeepers also agreed, and after the matter was discussed, they let them deal with the matter of handling the membership.
However, because he was worried that the demand for goods would increase greatly at that time, in order to avoid quality problems, Qiu Yan also specially called Ji Feifan over.
She knew that during this time, Ji Feifan had made significant progress, so she pulled her to sit down beside her and looked at her expectantly.
"My husband is too busy these days, and my body has not fully recovered, so I have to trouble you to keep an eye on things related to the quality of the goods, can you?"
"This is nature, please rest assured, Madame. I've learned a few things before, and now it's time to help out more by your side, Madame! β
In the face of Qiu Yan's request, Ji Feifan agreed quite simply.
She also knew that she was able to gradually grow from a maid to a right-hand man by her wife's side, thanks to the lady's attention to her.
So, she had to take it well.
"That's good, I'll leave the rest to you, if you have anything, tell me in time, or husband."
"Come, you come with me to take a look, the latter goods need to be purchased more vigorously."
As he spoke, he discussed carefully with Ji Feifan.
This said, unconsciously, a long time has passed.
Until someone outside came in and spread the word that someone was coming.
After Qiu Yan agreed, it didn't take long for him to see Ji Zhai actually come over in person! He was also holding a wooden food box.
After appearing in front of them, Ji Zhai lowered his head a little embarrassed.
"I've met Mrs. Lu, today I came to send something to my sister and Mrs. Lu. I didn't tell Mrs. Lu in advance before I came, I was really sorry to disturb me. β
"No, no, Ji Gongzi is too polite, let's sit here first."
When Qiu Yan saw Ji Mansion for the first time just now, he was actually quite surprised.
I didn't expect that he had changed so much now after not seeing him for a while.
She still remembered that the last time she saw Ji Zhai, she was haggard, not to mention dirty, and the whole person looked extremely unenergetic.
However, in a short period of time, it was like being reborn, not to mention that the body was clean and tidy, and the cheeks seemed to have become a little fuller.
Now, I can barely see the young man who was a young man who was a talent at a young age and a handsome man.
After coming over, Ji He was no longer as cautious as he was when he saw Qiu Yan and them for the first time, and he didn't even know how to place his hands and feet.
After slowly drinking two sips of tea, he took the initiative to find a topic with Qiu Yan and them.
"The reason why I came to visit this rashly is because I heard my sister mention it last time."
"Said Mrs. Lu, you are very busy here, and I am worried that you are so busy that you don't even have time to eat, so I personally sent something over, as long as it didn't disturb you."
"It's okay, it's okay, Ji Gongzi really doesn't have to be polite, no matter what, your sister has also been by my side for many years, I naturally trust her very much, thank you Ji Gongzi."
In order not to let Ji Zhai be distracted, Qiu Yan even ate some snacks sent by Ji Zhai with Ji Feifan in front of him, as well as snacks and the like.
Of course, the taste is not as good as the chef specially invited by her family, but it is also full of rural flavors, so Qiu Yan can't help but eat more in a row.
After a few words of greeting with Qiu Yan, he found that there was still a thick account book on the table in front of the two, and he knew that it was not right for him to continue to disturb here, so he could only say goodbye and leave first.
After Qiu Yan chatted with Ji Feifan for a while, she asked her to go to see her brother, and by the way, ask him how he was doing recently.
However, although her impression of Ji Zhai just now was still okay, she was still not very relieved in her heart.
I'm afraid that he came here this time to carefully clean up, in order to lower her vigilance.
After deliberately calling a nimble guy over, he whispered an order.
"During this time, you continue to keep an eye on that Ji Gongzi, understand? Not only do you have to watch what is going on at home, but you also have to find out if he has been in too close contact with anyone, and tell me whatever the news is. β
The little guy hurriedly nodded and agreed, and according to the address given to him by Qiu Yan, he soon pretended to be indifferent, found Ji Zhai's side, and asked the surrounding people about his situation.
Just when Qiu Yan used his thin shoulders to support the big and small things on the business, on the other side, Lu Chiye had already led people to the destination.
When he came all the way, he was really calm and unhurried.
Along the way, I also arranged for people on the left and right to survey the terrain at all times.
He knew that he didn't have a good sense of direction, and he was worried that he would run into trouble when he went back, so he deliberately made marks along the way and kept in touch with the people arranged by Qiu Yan at any time.
After walking for a long time, I finally appeared in a very remote house in the suburbs.
Walking to the door and listening to the sound of the wind whistling outside, Lu Chiye only felt a chill on his back.
After clearing his throat and taking a deep breath, he knocked on the door.
However, there was no movement in the door, so he could only arrange for the people on the left and right to step forward and kick the wooden door open.
As a result, he had just appeared in the courtyard with people when there was a chaotic sound of footsteps around him.
In just a few breaths, they were already surrounded by the people inside.
The people who followed Lu Chiye just now also subconsciously pulled out their respective weapons and protected him tightly in the center, and the two sides confronted each other like this.
After a few moments, a man in black, who had wrapped himself tightly, came out of the room.
