Chapter 687: Refusal

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Hu Xi was the shopkeeper of a local cloth shop.

Because the clothing shop had not been doing well in the past few years and had gone bankrupt, Hu Xi could only make a living some other way.

Coincidentally, this shop was recruiting owners, so he applied.

Although Luo Cheng had helped Li Shun and Zhao Xiu prepare this shop, the people inside weren’t Luo Cheng’s people.

Of course, Luo Cheng had also carefully investigated these people’s character and family background and felt that they were reliable.

As it turned out, Luo Cheng had good judgment.

As the shopkeeper, Hu Xi recorded each transaction very clearly.

Luo Cheng had been arranging for people to keep an eye on the people in the shop. For now, these people were quite honest and didn’t do anything like cook the books.

“Boss, your furniture sells really well! Not to mention the workmans.h.i.+p, the style is very novel. Most importantly, they’re very practical. After people saw the furniture in our shop, they paid for it directly. Some customers even asked for custom orders! Come and take a look. Do you guys want to accept these orders? This is the order list I made separately!” Hu Xi said with a smile.

Li Shun followed Hu Xi over and looked at the order list.

“Eh, who ordered this? What a big business deal!” Li Shun frowned when he noticed a certain business deal.

When Zhao Xiu heard her husband’s words, she also walked over to take a look.

Ever since Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran’s statuses changed, Zhao Xiu and Luo Cheng also began to learn how to read.

Although the two of them were late learners, they worked very hard, so they could recognize some of the commonly used words.

“This was ordered by a customer who looked a little unfamiliar. The other party claimed to be from the Miao family and came to town to order furniture and furnis.h.i.+ngs. Because he only liked your carpentry skills, he decided on such a big business deal. Of course, the other party promised that as long as you accepted this business, they would pay half the deposit in advance!” Hu Xi explained.

Although the other party appeared very sincere, Hu Xi felt that this business was a big deal. He only said that he was just a shopkeeper and still had to seek his Boss’s opinion. That was why he didn’t collect the deposit and only registered the information of this business.

When Li Shun saw this list, for some reason, he had an indescribable feeling.

“No, you can’t accept this business! You haven’t signed the contract with the other party yet, right?!” Li Shun asked.

Hu Xi shook his head and said, “Not yet. Because these few deals are too big, I was about to get someone to inform you to come, but you came today!”

“That’s good! Send someone to invite the Miao family over later and reject this business. Don’t sign any contract with them,” Li Shun nodded and said solemnly.

When Zhao Xiu heard this, although she was puzzled, she didn’t say anything.

It was just a business deal. If he didn’t accept it, so be it!

It took a lot of time and effort to make furniture.

Now that her family was doing well, she was very content. There was no need to work so hard.

“By the way, in the future, don’t accept any orders. I have to see all the orders and decide which one to accept before signing the contract with the other party. After all, I’m alone. If I accept too many orders and can’t produce so much furniture and damage my body, the gains won’t make up for the losses!” Li Shun said.

Zhao Xiu said, “Then why accept business?! We might as well not accept it. Just sell whatever you make. Why do you have to make yourself so tired?!”

Li Shun’s eyes lit up.

That was right. Why hadn’t he thought of that?

Now that the furniture in this shop was selling well, he had money on hand. It wasn’t a problem for his family to live comfortably. In that case, why did he have to take on business?

Wasn’t it better to do whatever he wanted?

Why did he have to be restrained by others?!

Li Shun nodded at Hu Xi.

“Mr. Hu, my wife is right. My body can’t withstand long-term labor, so I can only take things slow. Cancel all the custom-made furniture business! Just say that my body won’t allow it and I’ll let down the customers!”

Although Hu Xi felt a little regretful, his boss had already rejected him, so he could only do as he was told.

Fortunately, when these families said that they wanted to order furniture, he didn’t agree immediately. He only said that he had to ask his boss for his opinion on this matter.

Therefore, it was easy to reject the business now.

It was also because he had to ask his boss that Hu Xi didn’t charge a deposit, which saved him some trouble.

After checking the sale of the furniture, Hu Xi brought Li Shun and Zhao Xiu to look at the account book on the silver jewelry side.

There weren’t many silver jewelry sold, but at least some were sold. Zhao Xiu heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that someone liked the things she made.

Zhao Xiu didn’t care how much she sold. As long as someone was willing to buy the silver jewelry she made, it would be the greatest affirmation and support for her.

Not long after the shop opened, five pieces of jewelry were sold. This was already the greatest encouragement for her.

After walking out of the shop, Zhao Xiu felt that the sun outside was no longer so scorching. Instead, she felt warm and comfortable.

“I’m relieved that some people like the jewelry I make!” Zhao Xiu said happily.

“Think about it. Doesn’t our eldest daughter have good taste! If she says you did well, then you must have done well! The reason you only sold five is because you made too little jewelry.

“You’re getting better and better at comforting people! I don’t feel sad. I’m happy! With these people’s encouragement, I’ll be more confident in making jewelry in the future!” Zhao Xiu said.

“To celebrate the fact that everything we made has been sold, why don’t we go to the restaurant to try something new?!” Li Shun said with a smile.

“Go away. You’ve just earned a little money, but you’re already so content. Why go to a restaurant? Do you think there’s too much money and nowhere to spend it? If you want to go to a restaurant, you might as well go and see if there’s a suitable house to buy instead!” Zhao Xiu said.

“Yes, yes, yes. Let’s go see if there’s a suitable house!” Li Shun said with a

smile..
