Bai Ruozhu thought it was because of the recent rumors that Madam Liu had misunderstood her, especially Madam Liu's emphasis on the sentence "We can get together and part ways easily, please don't embarrass me", which seemed to mean something. She suppressed the anger in her heart and asked with a smile: "Did Mrs. Liu hear some bad words and have any misunderstandings about me?"

Mrs. Liu showed some disdain and said, "There is no misunderstanding. There is really something wrong with my family, so you should find another place."

Mrs. Laifu became anxious when she heard this and said, "That's not what you said when you rented the shop. If you ask others to do business, aren't you destroying their sign?"

Mrs. Liu put her hands on her hips and said, "Madam, it's your turn for a servant to interrupt. There are no rules at all. She really comes from a small family. If she had left our Liu family alone, she would have slapped her!"

Mrs. Laifu always had to smile when she met everyone when doing business. She had never scolded anyone, let alone quarreled with these ladies. She was immediately choked up and her face turned red with anger.

"Mrs. Liu, you have very poor taste. Aunt Lin is a relative of mine. She has 20% of her stock. She is much richer than some lady who only has a name." Bai Ruozhu snorted coldly. If this person defends his shortcomings and dares to scold her family, she will never give Mrs. Liu a good look again.

Madam Liu blushed, glared at Bai Ruozhu and said, "When you can't keep your fancy, I want to see if she can compare with the maids of wealthy families."

"It's not your turn to say whether we can continue driving. Since you have made up your mind, just hand over the compensation to the Chamber of Commerce as soon as possible to avoid disputes among everyone." Bai Ruozhu said, rolling his sleeves.

"You guys should wait to move within three days!" Mrs. Liu shouted and left angrily.

Bai Ruozhu's face was as cold as ice. She gave an order, and the secret guard Jian Qi appeared, startling Mrs. Laifu next to her.

"Go and find out why Mrs. Liu wants to take back the shop, and send someone to find out the owner of the shop next to her. I need to see him as soon as possible." Bai Ruozhu said.

"Yes." Jian Qi disappeared in a flash after receiving the order.

Mrs. Laifu pointed to the place where Jian Qi stood before and stammered, "This, this is?"

"My bodyguard helps me with some things and also protects us secretly." Bai Ruozhu explained.

Mrs. Laifu breathed a sigh of relief, but soon her face fell again, "Ruozhu, what can we do? We have held a press conference and business is booming. People will recognize our door. If we move What should I do if no one else can find the place?"

Bai Ruozhu sneered, "It's okay, we still have a shop next to it. It's easier to find customers if we move to the shop next to it. Even if something happens to the shop next to us, it's not completely helpless. There must be a road to the mountain. You first Don't worry."

Mrs. Laifu seemed to have found her backbone and gradually calmed down.

"First take the maid to check the goods in the shop and pack what needs to be packed so that it can be moved in a few days." Bai Ruozhu said, "I will go to the chamber of commerce and we will meet at home later."

"Then why don't you tell Mrs. Xie? She introduced Mrs. Liu after all." Mrs. Laifu reminded carefully.

Bai Ruozhu sighed and said, "I'll find a chance to tell her."

Of course, she was not looking for Yu Hongxiu to accuse her, but just to say hello. She might have had a quarrel with Mrs. Liu, so that Yu Hongxiu would not be in the middle.

Afterwards, Bai Ruozhu went straight to the Chamber of Commerce and chatted with the old steward of the Chamber of Commerce. Because the other party knew that she was Elder Lin's apprentice, he was particularly kind and enthusiastic towards her.

"Old sir, could you please check for me? If the one-year lease of the shop is not expired and the other party suddenly takes back the shop, how much compensation will there be, and the maximum time I have to move out after the other party pays the compensation." Bai Ruozhu asked respectfully.

The old steward answered one by one, and said that the compensation was divided into time periods. The maximum compensation for going back on one month would be eight times the rent, and six times the rent for two to three months, and then it would decrease gradually. Bai Ruozhu checked The lease is for exactly three months.

Six times is enough for the Liu family to bleed once.

"If they pay the compensation in full, you need to move out on the 15th. If the compensation is paid within three months, and there are less than 15 days before the completion of three months, the remaining days will be used." The old steward said. explained.

Bai Ruozhu nodded and thanked, then thought for a while and asked: "Does the Chamber of Commerce have regulations that if the renter takes back the shop, he cannot immediately operate the business that the tenant originally operated, let alone impersonate the tenant's name?"

The old steward stroked his beard and thought for a while, then said, "I'm getting old and my brain is not working so well. I'm going to look up the regulations of the Chamber of Commerce."

"Thank you, Mr. Lao." Bai Ruozhu said gratefully.

After some searching, the old man finally confirmed that the Chamber of Commerce had such a rule. The landlord forcibly took over the shop, and within six months the tenant could not operate the business that the tenant had previously operated, unless it was a large restaurant or inn. If the tenant finds out and sues the landlord, the landlord will be punished by the Chamber of Commerce. Unfortunately, the specific punishment is not detailed.

Bai Ruozhu's eyes lit up. It would have been better if she didn't say anything specific. Couldn't she just be as specific as she wanted?

In addition, if the landlord is caught using the tenant's previous sign, the fine will be more severe. In serious cases, he or she may be imprisoned.

People die for money, and birds die for food. When she saw Mrs. Liu's attitude today, she felt a little bad in her heart, so she asked clearly about the rules of the Chamber of Commerce in advance, so that she could respond quickly when the time came.

Afterwards, she went to Xie's Mansion and told Yu Hongxiu about Mrs. Liu's matter, but she was afraid that Yu Hongxiu's anger would be bad for the fetus in her belly, so she did not say how bad Mrs. Liu's attitude was.

"What? How could she do this?" Yu Hongxiu still shouted, "Has the Liu family been bribed? I really can't tell they are this kind of people!"

"Don't be angry. Fortunately, I have a shop next to me. I have to thank them for being impatient. If I had already gone to the capital and they closed the shop again, I would be angry." Bai Ruozhu said with a smile.

Yu Hongxiu was very embarrassed and apologized to Bai Ruozhu, saying that she was unkind and had hurt Bai Ruozhu.

Bai Ruozhu chatted with her for a while and helped her feel her pulse before leaving. When she got home, Mrs. Laifu was already home and told her family that Mrs. Liu was closing down the shop.

Everyone was anxious at first, but when they saw Bai Ruozhu's calm and calm look when she returned, they couldn't help but calm down.

After a while, Jian Qi came back and reported to Bai Ruozhu: "The young master of the owner of the shop next door owed money to the underground forces and was beaten to death, so his subordinates rescued him and made an appointment for the owner. They're talking about buying a shop."

Last time the man was in a hurry to rent, he said it was to help his son pay off his gambling debt. Now it was probably because of the gambling debt owed by his son. Bai Ruozhu gave Jian Qi an appreciative look and said, "Well done, otherwise we will miss out." Got a head start.”
