Being rejected by a scholar? She is so rich, what is she afraid of?

Chapter 38: Delivering Silver to Your Door

She didn't have much money in her hand now. She spent 62 taels yesterday. Adding the little money she had left, she only had about 40 taels left.

In fact, this amount was not small for an ordinary family. But Wang Yuyan felt that this amount of money was not enough for her to buy a few sets of clothes and two pieces of jewelry, which was really shabby.

She couldn't just give them this little money. If she did, she wouldn't know when she could get it back.

As for the Zhao family’s lack of money to buy a house, that was none of her business.

In her opinion, if she couldn't afford the money, she didn't have to buy it. She could get most of the money back. This way, everything would be fine, and she could pay back the money she owed. Why not?

Thinking of this, Wang Yuyan was no longer so anxious. It was the Zhao family that should be anxious. No matter what, she had more money than a few days ago, and her life was still the same as before. It was much better than Yunxi and the girls in the village.

In an instant, Wang Yuyan calmed herself down and stopped caring about Zhao Junyi and the other two. She stood up and said, "That's it. I'll go back to my room and think about whether there is any way to make money. I can't help you with anything else."

Watching her leaving back, Zhang was so angry that she cursed her in a low voice, "Little bitch."

"Okay, Mom, be careful and don't offend her. She is still useful to your son." Zhao Junyi reminded.

Zhang curled her lips and said, "If it weren't for the fact that she is still useful, and she is a wandering ghost who knows where she came from, I would have found someone to take her in long ago."

"That's enough. We agreed not to mention this matter again. Just keep it to yourself. My son has just made a name for himself. If you ruin his reputation, I will never let you off easily." Zhao Pingxiu warned sternly.

Zhang shrank back and said sullenly, "I know, Boss, I won't mention it again in the future."

Zhao Pingxiu snorted coldly, "Go to your mother's house as soon as possible to get the money back. If they have extra money, lend them as much as you can."

Zhang agreed with a sad face.

The Zhao family has been worrying about money for several days, but the situation on Yunxi's side is completely the opposite.

Two days later, the owner of Penglai Teahouse came to Qixing Tower with a wooden box in his hands, smiling.

After being introduced by Ading and Acai, I was not surprised to know that the two people were Yunxi's three siblings.

He smiled and handed the wooden box to Yun Xi, "Miss Yun, here are 6000 taels of silver notes and the teahouse's title deed."

Yun Xi took it, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Oh, what does the shopkeeper mean?"

The shopkeeper replied, "Miss Yun, our master said that the most important thing in doing business is honesty. This time, Qixinglou won ten thousand taels of silver from the teahouse, so we naturally have to pay it back according to the rules. However, the teahouse has only been in business for less than two years, and we don't have ten thousand taels of silver, so we can only give out 7000 taels. We already gave out one thousand taels last time, and here we have 6000 taels. The remaining 3000 taels can only be used to pay the teahouse."

"what?"

Yunxi and her two brothers looked at each other in bewilderment. How come they suddenly brought the entire teahouse over?

She had never thought about this.

Is this shopkeeper a little silly to be so honest?

Even if they didn't give them a penny of the remaining money, they wouldn't say anything. In the end, they not only gave them the money, but also compensated the teahouse.

Could it be that the owner of the teahouse really thought that the Seven Stars Tower had some powerful background and was afraid to offend them?

Yun Xi held his forehead, feeling that the wooden box in his hand was a hot potato.

After opening it, I saw, just as the teahouse owner said, in addition to 6000 taels of silver notes, there was also the teahouse's title deed.

Tsk tsk, such a big teahouse, but it’s only discounted by 3000 taels, it’s really…

Yun Xi didn't know how to describe it. She wanted to say that the person was stupid, but this person was sending money to her, and it seemed particularly unkind to call him stupid.

But in fact it is so.

Thinking back to when they took over the renovation and reconstruction of the Qixing Building, they spent nearly 4000 taels. Although the Penglai Teahouse is not as grand as the Qixing Building and is a little smaller, it is definitely more than 3000 taels. 3500 taels is appropriate.

In a debt repayment situation like theirs, 4000 taels is reasonable.

Yun Xi took out all the banknotes and put the teahouse's title deed back into the box.

"We'll take the banknotes, but forget about the house deed."

Don’t refuse the money that comes to your door.

But there is no need to cut off their business which provides them with a steady source of income.

Be a man who leaves a way out, it is evil and smoke. Ah, we will see each other in the future.

The shopkeeper did not take the wooden box back, but said to Yun Xi, "Miss Yun, our master said that you must accept the teahouse's title deed. If you don't, I will test you."

I thought that their master was really good at predicting things, and Miss Yun really didn't want this teahouse.

"Our master also said that if you feel embarrassed to accept the title deed, then just think of it as our master using the title deed to form a partnership with you. From now on, you will be in charge of the operation of the teahouse. If you lose money, forget it. If you make money, just give us 20% of the profit."

Yun Xi stared at the teahouse owner thoughtfully. She asked, "Tell me honestly, has your teahouse been losing money?"

The shopkeeper waved his hands and said, "No, no, no, Miss Yun, please don't misunderstand me. The teahouse business is pretty good. We can make a profit of four to five thousand taels every year."

Yunxi nodded. That’s right, this is normal.

"Then why did your shopkeeper use the deed to the shop as collateral for 3000 taels of silver? This is not right no matter how you look at it. The 3000 taels were earned back in less than a year."

"Our master thinks that the Seven Stars Tower is doing well and making more money than the teahouse. I believe Miss Yun and the two Young Masters Yun are better at business. The teahouse will definitely be taken to a higher level under Miss Yun's management. So, I hope Miss Yun can take over."

Yun Xi, Yun Qi and Yun Yan all looked at the shopkeeper with strange expressions. There really was someone who wanted to give his own financial assets to other people.

But no matter what, they had to admit that what the shopkeeper said made sense. If this teahouse was in Yunxi's hands, the business would definitely be better.

Apart from anything else, with the same tea leaves and tea-brewing techniques, if you add two drops of space well water into the tea, the taste of the tea will be much better, which will definitely retain and attract more customers.

Coupled with various marketing methods, there is no need to worry about the teahouse business not being booming.

Thinking about the attitude of the shopkeeper today and the meaning of their master that he conveyed, it can be seen that their master is an honest person.

There is no need to worry about losing out when cooperating with this kind of company.

Besides, the title deeds were in my hands, and I could transfer the teahouse to my name tomorrow. I had the final say in the operation, so I didn't have to worry about anything.

If there is anything to worry about, it is the other party who should be worried that I will not give him any money.

Thinking of this, Yun Xi did not refuse any more. "Okay, I will accept the title deed. Tomorrow we will go to the county government to register the transfer. I will run the teahouse in the future, and you will still supply the tea. I will not treat your master unfairly. In the future, the profits of the teahouse will be divided 40% and 60%, you 40% and we 60%."

"If there is no problem, let's sign a contract and go to the county government office to have it notarized tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper bowed excitedly again and said, "It's up to you, young lady."

When she looked up again, her face was smiling like a chrysanthemum.

How could he not be happy? He had exceeded the task assigned by his master.

This time, the master has designated a generous reward.
