Seeing that she was determined, Madam Dai and Nie Shuang had no choice but to take a step back.
Since the three of them were cooperating, it was naturally best to distribute them equally.
However, it was not easy to divide, so Madam Dai, who had offered the shop, took up 40%.
Gu Yundong and Nie Shuang each took 30%. Madam Dai did not agree. In the end, it was Gu Yundong who said that if anyone caused trouble in the shop in the future, only Madam Daiâs identity could suppress it. Therefore, taking 40% meant that she was the most responsible.
Madam Dai did not say anything, but she looked at Gu Yundong with admiration.
This girl was so young, but she was very mature. No wonder she could go from a penniless refugee to her current achievements in such a short period of time.
At this moment, she was especially confident that the shop that was about to open would definitely be popular.
Since the decision was made, they had to discuss the details.
However, Gu Yundong had just opened his shop today and was very busy. She did not have time to discuss it.
Therefore, she could only make an appointment tomorrow.
âThe Guâs has just opened. I still have to come and keep an eye on it for at least the first three days. Where is Madamâs shop? Letâs go over tomorrow morning and discuss how to repair and decorate it.â
Madam Dai took a sip of milk tea and said, âSince weâre going to open a shop together, Yundong, youâre treating me like an outsider if you call me Madam again.â
Gu Yundong laughed. âThen Iâll be like Nie Shuang and call you Auntie?â
âThatâs good.â Madam Dai was satisfied and said, âAlright, thereâs no hurry to open a new shop. Naturally, we have to wait for you to finish your business first. Iâll get someone to clean up that shop first. Itâs a mess inside. Letâs go over the day after tomorrow.â
âSure.â Gu Yundong nodded. She suddenly thought of Feng Daneng, who was still in the prefectural city, and asked, âI wonder if Auntie has any familiar carpenters?â
There were definitely some, and those carpenters who could catch Madam Daiâs eye were all capable and serious.
Howeverâ¦
Madam Dai looked at the house in front of her and thought of the counters and shelves under the house. They were really different from what she had seen in the past. She immediately understood.
âIâm not familiar with wood carpenters. I have to go back and ask our steward. However, I see that this house is well repaired. I wonder which master did the job. If itâs possibleâ¦â
Nie Shuang nodded at the side. âYes, I also think that these tables and chairs are well done. Then Masterâs carpentry skills are good. Letâs hire him.â
Gu Yundong nodded. âTo tell you the truth, the carpentry work here was done by a master from my village. Our new house, the shop in the county city, and the shop in the prefectural city were all renovated by him. Weâve worked together so many times that weâre already very familiar with each other. He can immediately understand what I want. I thought that if you donât have a suitable candidate, Iâll recommend him.â
âThatâs good.â Madam Dai immediately agreed.
Nie Shuang also nodded at the side. She knew nothing about this. In any case, if she was asked to pay, she would pay. If she had to work, she would work. She just had to be obedient.
Gu Yundong said, âThen itâs settled. Iâll talk to Uncle Feng later.â
Madam Dai liked Gu Yundong even more. Not only was she smart, but she was also caring and would promote the people from her village. It was only reassuring to work with such a person.
However, Nie Shuang had already calculated her private savings in her heart. She was the young lady of a merchant family, so she had quite a lot of money every month. In addition to the red packets and New Yearâs money that her uncles and aunts gave her every year, she was actually a little rich woman. If it was really not enough, she would borrow money from her eldest brother.
As she was thinking, a loud shout suddenly came from downstairs.
