Chuan Shu Qi Leng: I own a department store

Aunt Chen had no idea what Xu Wanning was up to, so she could only nod.

"According to the current market prices, rice, flour, and meat, all added together, for a week's supply, it only costs thirteen yuan."

"There are not many vegetables in winter, so even tofu, cabbage, bean sprouts and other vegetables are very expensive, but in spring and summer they are relatively cheap. For this, let's calculate it based on seven dollars per week. Adding the two together, it's only twenty dollars a week, and no more than eighty dollars a month."

Xu Wanning actually overstated the amount of money.

Meat coupons and grain coupons have been gradually cancelled. Although the price is a little bit higher, a pound of pork is only about RMB 1.2. If there are four people eating together, although there are meat and vegetables to eat every day, in fact, they can't even eat a pound of meat a day.

There is no way. It is really difficult for people who have lived through difficult times to have big fish and meat for every meal. As long as there is a little minced meat in every meal, it is a good dish for them.

Pork is easier to store in winter, so Aunt Chen buys a lot at one time.

In summer, we basically buy meat every day so that it won’t go bad and won’t be wasted.

Xu Wanning remembered that Lin's mother said that in the summer, Aunt Chen would cut a pound and a half of meat almost every day, eat 80 grams of it in the garment store, and take the rest home on the pretext that she had not finished it.

In summer, it's not just meat that's like this, but also vegetables and fruits.

Mother Lin thought that since she had already paid 300 yuan a month, there was no need to worry about these little things. So even though she knew that Aunt Chen was doing things secretly, she just turned a blind eye.

As long as the Chen father and son make clothes well, the value they create for the clothing store will be far greater than the three hundred yuan.

If it were in the past, when they were in Dajiang Village, Lin's mother would definitely feel distressed, but after coming to Beijing, under the influence of Xu Wanning, and also because she can earn money herself, Lin's mother's horizons have naturally broadened, and she will no longer harp on these trivial matters.

"My monthly expenses would not exceed 80 yuan, but you reported 300 yuan every month, Aunt Chen. The extra money naturally went into your own wallet. Just because I didn't pursue the matter before doesn't mean I didn't know about it. Now, I hope you can give me every penny less."

"I won't say 220 yuan anymore. You just return me 200 yuan every month, and I'll pretend that nothing happened. I won't hold you responsible. Otherwise..."

Xu Wanning didn't finish the threat, but the three members of the Chen family understood what she meant.

Aunt Chen was embarrassed. She didn't want to spend money. From the opening of the garment store to now, in seven months, the money she had deducted from buying vegetables was at least fifteen or sixteen thousand yuan. She felt so painful to return the money to Xu Wanning.

But not paying back the money?

What if Xu Wanning is angered, and she gets angry and sends me to the fence?

Although Xu Wanning seemed easy to talk to on weekdays, Aunt Chen knew that their family's behavior this time had crossed her bottom line, so she still couldn't go against her wishes.

"Okay, I'll pay you back. It's 1,400 yuan in total. I'll pay it back to you tomorrow. As for the 7,500 yuan in compensation..."

Aunt Chen paused for a moment and subconsciously looked at Master Chen.

Master Chen still had a stern face and was full of anger. It was obvious that he was still unwilling to pay back the money, but there was no other way. If he didn't pay back the money, he would have to take legal action.

"We will also return the 7,500 yuan, but it is not a small sum after all. We cannot come up with it for the time being. So, give me five days to cache it. Within five days, we will definitely return the money to you."

"Okay." Xu Wanning didn't push the other person too much.

"Are you not going to let us work for you?"

Master Chen glared at Xu Wanning: "You know, many people come to your clothing store for my craftsmanship. If you insist on forcing me to take 7,500 yuan in compensation, then I will leave the clothing store and stop working for you!"

Xu Wanning asked back with amusement: "Do you think that my clothing store can still keep you after you did such a big thing behind my back? Stop flattering yourself!"

It is true that some people come here for the craftsmanship of the Chen father and son, but to be honest, Beijing is so big that there is no shortage of craftsmen. As long as there are excellent design drawings and good fabrics, there are many people who can make good-looking clothes.

Rather than saying that those customers came for Master Chen’s craftsmanship, it would be more accurate to say that they were attracted by the design of the clothes. After all, they were the first of their kind in Beijing, and who wouldn’t want to wear new and unique clothes if they could afford it?

The reason why Xu Wanning was willing to give enough respect to the Chen father and son was, firstly, that these two people really had the skills, and with their help, Lin's mother would not be too busy alone; secondly, she was not the kind of boss who liked to exploit people. As long as the employees could create enough value, she could make up for it in other ways.

For example, salary and benefits.

It is precisely because Xu Wanning is so generous that over time people have the illusion that she can be bullied at will.

It is a foregone conclusion that the Chen family father and son want to start their own business, and it is because of this that Xu Wanning came to the garment store today.

Even if the fabric substitution incident had not happened, she would not have planned to keep these two people any longer. It was just that the fabric substitution incident came to the fore, which resulted in her not having the time to tell her purpose.

But Master Chen actually wanted to control her because of this matter?

Simply ridiculous!

"From now on, you are no longer employees of our clothing store. The three of you can pack up your things and leave immediately. Also, write me an IOU before you leave. I'll give you five days. If you don't get the money together by this time in five days, don't blame me for being impartial!"

Xu Wanning asked people to leave as soon as she opened her mouth, which was beyond Master Chen's expectations.

He originally wanted to take Qiao, but he didn't expect Xu Wanning really didn't care about him and Master Chen.

Mother Lin did not expect Xu Wanning to be so capable. She wanted to persuade Xu Wanning not to be so impulsive. Maybe after this incident, the Chen father and son would not dare to act like a troublemaker again and would definitely make clothes well.

No matter what, we have to complete the existing orders first. Customers are eager to wear new clothes, and we can't delay the process because of this.

But Lin's mother had been accustomed to letting Xu Wanning be the backbone for so long. Since Xu Wanning had already made up her mind, she naturally couldn't say anything and could only sit there silently.

The atmosphere in the clothing store was quite awkward.
