"What business?" Gu Xiaoyou asked confused.

The "big landowner" touched his big belly and said calmly: "I am the owner of the largest rice paper shop in this county. You can call me Boss Ma..."

"Boss Ma, can you tell me the important point?" Seeing that he didn't buy the paper, Gu Xiaoyou smiled mischievously and said impatiently.

"Oh, Boss Gu's patience is too short." Boss Ma said with a smile: "Then let me tell you straight, I want to buy toilet paper workshops and stores from here, and the price is whatever you want."

"Are you kidding me? I refuse."

Gu Xiaoyou replied without thinking, her words were like buying out her business, it was simply fantastic.

Boss Ma's expression stiffened and his smile faded a lot.

"I advise Boss Gu to think carefully about it. It doesn't matter how much money you have. It's a good deal. There won't be this store after this village."

"I won't sell it, no matter how much money I have."

Gu Xiaoyou still refused. Boss Ma obviously didn't expect Gu Xiaoyou to be so hard, and the smile on his face disappeared immediately.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his arrogance, and said with a threatening tone: "I respect you as Boss Gu because I think highly of you. Doing business in Qingcheng County is based on seniority. When it comes to selling paper, I was older than you."

After more than ten years, you still have to call me Grandpa Grandpa here."

Gu Xiaoyou didn't accept this trick at all, and said coldly: "You sell your rice paper, and I sell my toilet paper. It's an impossible business. You want to buy my workshop, and you still want me to be polite to you. I want to

Demei!"

If it weren't for being insulting to gentle people, Gu Xiaoyou would have really wanted to spit a sip of strong tea into Boss Ma's face to wake him up.

"You don't know how to flatter me, let me ask you one last time, to sell or not to sell?" Boss Ma took off his kind mask and asked coldly.

Gu Xiaoyou followed Mu Wuchen's example, raised his chin, and glanced at Boss Ma condescendingly.

"No matter how many times you ask me if I don't want to buy it, my answer will always be I won't sell it!"

Boss Ma was so angry that he itched his teeth and snorted coldly: "Okay, let's see how long you can keep your stubbornness. We'll see."

He glared at Gu Xiaoyou fiercely and walked away.

Gu Xiaoyou made a face at his back: "Just wait, who is afraid of whom?"

It wasn't until Boss Ma walked away that Gu Xiaoyou looked away and returned to the store unhappy.

Mrs. Zhou had just witnessed the whole process, and she couldn't help but said worriedly: "Xiaoyou, what's wrong with you if you offend him? I heard that Boss Ma's business is very big, and he walks sideways in the county."

"Is he a crab? If he walks sideways, I will break off his pincers and cook them."

Gu Xiaoyou pretended to chew aggressively.

"What crab? Let me tell you about Boss Ma. What if he tries to do something bad to you?" Mrs. Zhou sighed.

She was really afraid that Gu Xiaoyou, a girl, would suffer losses in the business world.

But Gu Xiaoyou didn't care: "It's okay, I'm not afraid."

Mrs. Zhou was still worried, her brows furrowed tightly.

"It's really okay. Even if he really does something bad, we still have Mr. Chen to protect him." Gu Xiaoyou consoled him.

"Oh, you always have a point. I can't tell you, but you must be careful in everything."

Mrs. Zhou sighed and continued to take care of the shop with her waiters.

As a result, Zhou's worries came true the next day.

She and Gu Xiaoyou were checking to prepare for opening.

Yang He hurried to the shop, yelling, and said to Gu Xiaoyou out of breath: "Boss Gu is in trouble, many workers in the workshop have left."

Gu Xiaoyou pushed Yang He onto a chair and poured him a cup of tea.

"Leaving? What's going on? Speak slowly."

Yang He drank a large cup of tea and calmed his breathing: "I went to the workshop today and many workers didn't come. I just went to ask and they were hired away by the owner of the rice paper shop at a huge price."

Gu Xiaoyou frowned slightly and sighed: "Just leave, I'll do it again."

She looked at Yang He and asked seriously: "How many of us are there now and who are left behind?"

"The five people who came with me are all here, and two-thirds of the newly recruited workers are gone." Yang He reported in detail.

"I understand. You take these people to work today and leave the rest to me."

After receiving Gu Xiaoyou's assurance, Yang He breathed a sigh of relief and said apologetically: "It would be better if I were more strict..."

"Don't say that. No matter how strict you are, the people who should leave will still have to leave."

Gu Xiaoyou patted Yang He's shoulder comfortingly, and Yang He reluctantly curled up his lips, still feeling a little uncomfortable.

"It's okay. I have already thought of a way. No one will leave casually in the future." Gu Xiaoyou said cheerfully, with a bright smile on his face.

Seeing her smiling face, Yang He felt a little more relaxed and unconsciously smiled at Gu Xiaoyou.

Zhou didn't have such a good attitude as Gu Xiaoyou, and her brows were so furrowed that they were almost knotted.

"My little ancestor, you can still laugh. What if the workers reveal how to make toilet paper?"

Gu Xiaoyou curled her lips and smiled, and looked at each other tacitly with Yang He.

"It's okay, I'm not afraid of recruiting them all."

Zhou was puzzled, Gu Xiaoyou raised an eyebrow, smiled, and said confidently: "Sister Zhou, don't worry, I will never suffer a loss."

Zhou was puzzled, but Gu Xiaoyou didn't explain much.

She thought for a while and said to Yang He: "You go back to the workshop first and take everyone to continue working. I will recruit a few more people."

Yang He nodded in agreement and hurriedly left the shop. Gu Xiaoyou comforted Mrs. Zhou for a few words and left the shop to recruit workers again.

Gu Xiaoyou's recruitment requirements have increased a lot. After recruiting enough people, she came to the workshop and gathered all the workers in the yard of the workshop.

Gu Xiaoyou took out several contracts and said loudly: "I believe everyone knows what happened before. In order to prevent this kind of thing from happening again, everyone who works here must sign a labor contract and a confidentiality contract."

As he said that, he put the contracts in his hands into the hands of the workers.

The workers picked up the contract and looked at it seriously.

Gu Xiaoyou made a rule based on modern corporate regulations. According to ancient standards, it was not strict. On the contrary, it was very humane. However, she added a liquidated damages. As long as she left for normal reasons, she had to pay one hundred taels of silver.

The workers were very satisfied at first, but when they saw the liquidated damages, their eyes widened, and they gathered together to discuss: "Isn't one hundred taels of silver too much?"

"Yes, I'm afraid I will never earn a hundred taels in my lifetime."

"It's too harsh..."

Gu Xiaoyou had already anticipated the workers' reaction and clapped his hands to attract their attention.

The workers stopped talking and looked at Gu Xiaoyou dissatisfied.

Gu Xiaoyou cleared his throat: "Don't worry, this is just in case. As long as you don't violate the contract, you don't have to pay anything. If you leave here for a reasonable reason, you don't have to pay either..."
