Chapter 139 Aunt Lan's Fear
Shen Yiran was furious when she heard this. "Isn't Aunt Lan really stupid? How can she make money by hiring these people to look after the store?
After thinking about it, the latter possibility is more likely. She is clearly determined to bring down my mother's shops."
She really didn't want to waste any more words with these people. If she wanted to get her mother's shop back, she could just let her eldest brother ask her father for it.
What they need to do now is to understand the operating conditions of each farm and store in order to prepare for the next step of rectification.
At this time, Shen Yunyu walked forward and wanted to argue with the shopkeeper.
Seeing this, Shen Yiran quickly pulled him back and winked at him, "Brother, time is running out, let's go to the next store."
Shen Yunyu understood, and the two of them turned around and walked out.
I could still hear a conversation between several people behind me: "Mom, tell me where these two people came from? Why are they asking who the owner of our store is?"
"Hurry up and find your Aunt Lan and tell her what happened today so that she can prepare." Shen Yiran raised the corners of her mouth slightly. She really didn't know what Aunt Lan would think after she learned about what happened today.
What kind of reaction.
Then, the brother and sister visited more than a dozen shops in the surrounding area one by one, and without exception, all of them were operating at a loss.
It was almost dusk.
Shen Yiran said: "Brother, after our observation today, these shops under my mother's name have been messed up by Aunt Lan.
When you return home, you must tell your father that you have grown up and want to learn business, and tell him what we saw today. "
"Sister, but I don't know how to run a business. Even if father gave me the shop and the farm, I don't know how to manage them."
"Brother, just go and talk to father. As long as he is willing to give you the shop and farm under mother's name, I will take care of the rest of the business. You just sit back and count the money."
Shen Yunyu looked at his sister as if he was looking at a stranger.
He thought to himself: My sister grew up in the countryside and has never been exposed to business, but why does she look so confident now, like a veteran in the business world?
As soon as Shen Yiran saw her brother's expression, she guessed what he was thinking.
She said with a smile: "Brother, I have grown up. Now I am married to the prince. He treats me very well and has taught me a lot. You don't have to worry about me anymore."
Then, they each went back to their homes. Shen Yiran leisurely returned to Huaxiyuan, constantly thinking about the follow-up plans in his mind along the way.
Shen Yunyu returned to the Shen Mansion with a heavy heart, his heart filled with nervousness and anticipation for the upcoming conversation with his father.
That night, Shen Yunyu wandered outside the study for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to come to the door of his father's study.
"Knock-knock." Shen Yunyu knocked on the door twice, then raised his voice slightly and said, "Father, are you asleep? I have something to say to you."
After saying that, Shen Yunyu slowly put down his hand that was knocking on the door. His two hands were clasped together nervously, showing his inner nervousness and anxiety.
Father Shen, who was reading the official document, paused and thought to himself: Yu'er came here at this time, could it be that there is something important? This child rarely talks to me.
"Come in!" Father Shen's words were full of love.
"Father, did I disturb you?"
"It's okay. It's rare that you take the initiative to come to your father. Did something happen?" Father Shen asked with concern.
"Father, I have a favor to ask."
"What's the matter?"
"Since my mother passed away, the shops and farms under her name have been managed by Aunt Lan. But when I visited some of the shops today, I found that the management was too lax."
Shen Yunyu frowned slightly, his expression solemn. "Now that my child has grown up, I am willing to concentrate on learning the ways of doing business and share the family's worries."
When Father Shen heard this, he was also quite unhappy. But he changed his mind and smiled with relief: "Very good, my Yu'er has grown up and will be able to take charge of things on his own. I can relax in the future." After that, Father Shen ordered: "Come here, call Aunt Lan over."
After a while, Aunt Lan came over gracefully, with just the right amount of gentleness and respect on her face.
Father Shen looked at her with a sharp gaze and said in a serious tone, "Auntie Lan, are the shops and farms under Madam's name profitable now?"
Aunt Lan's expression suddenly changed. She glanced at Shen Yunyu beside her and thought to herself: In the middle of the night, the master suddenly called her over to ask about this matter, and this troublesome guy is also here.
Thinking about what the manager of the bank reported today, I suddenly felt that the situation was not good.
"Master, of course the shop is profitable." She forced herself to remain calm and tried to maintain a decent smile on her face, but the smile seemed a little stiff.
Father Shen stared at Aunt Lan, his eyes were so cold that they seemed to penetrate people's hearts. He said word by word: "From tomorrow on, the shop and farm under Madam's name will be handed over to Yu'er to manage."
When Aunt Lan heard this, she was shocked, but she didn't show it on her face.
She bowed slightly and said softly, "Master, Master Yu'er is very smart, but this business is no small matter. Master has never had any management experience. It would be inappropriate for him to rashly take over the shop and farm under Madam's name.
I am also worried about the young master being in trouble. What if something goes wrong? I am only thinking about this family, the master and the young masters and young ladies."
As she spoke, her eyes were slightly red, as if she was really considering this family wholeheartedly.
After hearing what Aunt Lan said, Mr. Shen did not rush to express his opinion.
Shen Yunyu on the side could not sit still any longer. He stepped forward and said anxiously, "Father, although I have no experience, I am determined to learn how to do business well. I will learn with an open mind and manage carefully. I will not disappoint you. Please believe in me."
Father Shen raised his chin slightly and looked at Aunt Lan: "It's decided. Aunt Lan will count the items in the Madam's dowry book tomorrow and hand them over to Yu'er for management. There must be no mistakes."
Aunt Lan was full of reluctance. She bit her lip, and her eyes instantly turned red. She looked so pitiful, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
She leaned forward slightly and said in a gentle voice, "Master, Yu'er is still young and has never been involved in business. Madam's dowry is a valuable item. If it is handed over to the young master, if something goes wrong, I am really worried.
Master, please reconsider. I have devoted my life to this family, to the master and the young masters and young ladies, and I really cannot bear to see the family business suffer."
Shen Yunyu looked at Aunt Lan's hypocritical appearance and felt disgusted, but he tried hard to control his emotions and waited for his father to make a decision.
Father Shen said firmly: "This matter has been decided. No need to say more. Just do as I say."
Aunt Lan wanted to argue a few more times, but seeing the resolute expression on Father Shen's face, she knew that she was powerless to change the situation. She secretly hated him, but could only helplessly respond, "Yes, Master. I obey your command."
"Thank you, father. Yu'er will never let you down." Shen Yunyu thanked him happily.
Aunt Lan was full of resentment and unwillingness. She knew that once Shen Yunyu took over the lady's dowry, her position and influence in the mansion might be threatened. She racked her brains to think of a countermeasure.
After getting his father's support, Shen Yunyu's heart was filled with a complex emotion of excitement and nervousness.
He thought about asking Han Hai to tell his sister the good news early tomorrow morning and ask her to come together to count their mother's dowry.
