After listening to Gu Xiaoyou's words, Mrs. Zhou's expression became a little frightened, and she asked timidly: "Xiaoyou, have I made you unhappy these days? I can change what I did wrong."

"What are you thinking about?" Gu Xiaoyou squeezed Zhou's shoulder.

"I just see that you are working too hard, and I want to give you a promotion and a raise."

"Promotion and salary increase?" Zhou repeated confusedly.

Gu Xiaoyou looked into Mr. Zhou's eyes and explained seriously: "I want you to be the big boss, and then your wages will also increase."

"That's okay. I live in the house you bought and I get paid as a salary. I've already taken a lot of advantage."

Zhou refused repeatedly and refused to accept Gu Xiaoyou's kindness.

Gu Xiaoyou sighed, pretending to be aggrieved and said: "Then I have to go to the paper shop and deal with isatis root every day. Alas, I also have to go to the hospital to stay. I really have no time to spare."

"Xiaoyou, don't be like this, I can look after the store for you." Mrs. Zhou comforted her.

Gu Xiaoyou shook his head: "You should get two wages for managing two stores by yourself, and you don't agree. I can't let you work so hard. If the government finds out, they might be charged with abusing employees.

I captured him..."

As he spoke, Gu Xiaoyou pretended to raise his sleeves and wiped the non-existent tears from the corners of his eyes.

Looking at Mrs. Zhou secretly from the corner of her eye, she didn't believe that Sister Zhou was not soft-hearted.

Sure enough, Mrs. Zhou hesitated for a moment and said hesitantly: "Then I will continue to help you look after the store... I will charge two, two wages."

"That's right." Gu Xiaoyou immediately put down his sleeves: "You can be promoted to the big boss at will."

Zhou curled her fingers nervously: "Am I going to do a bad job?"

"If there's anything you can't do well, just do it the same as you are doing now, except you don't have to go to the paper shop every day."

Gu Xiaoyou held Zhou's arm: "Let's go to the paper shop now, and I will review your work."

On the way from Ruining Hutong to Youlian Paper Shop, Gu Xiaoyou gave Mr. Zhou some education and finally convinced Mr. Zhou to agree to become the big boss of the two shops.

Mr. Zhou opened the shop and continued business as usual.

Gu Xiaoyou stood in front of the counter, watching Mrs. Zhou arrange the waiters' work in an orderly manner.

After a while, Yang He came over to deliver the paper and greeted Gu Xiaoyou shyly.

He helped Zhou load the goods unnaturally. After finishing his work, he bowed to Gu Xiaoyou and left in a hurry.

Gu Xiaoyou complained in his heart that this Yang He was still so afraid of the leader.

After Zhou finished his work and brought over the account books for the month, Gu Xiaoyou looked through the account books and found that the monthly profit was very good, and there was still a lot left after deducting the rent every month.

She evaluated it in her mind: "Sister Zhou, let's buy the shop. It's more suitable than renting."

Mrs. Zhou looked at the account book and checked it with an abacus. It was indeed more appropriate to buy than to rent.

"I'll go back and get the money, and you can find the landlord. We'll buy the shop today."

"Okay." Zhou responded, and she and Gu Xiaoyou moved separately.

Soon Gu Xiaoyou returned to the paper shop, and the landlord was also brought by Zhou. The three of them worked together and negotiated a price that both parties were satisfied with.

The landlord took the house deed, Gu Xiaoyou and Zhou to the Yamen to transfer the property.

The stinky-faced yamen officer from last time recognized Gu Xiaoyou and quickly put on a smiling face: "The doctor Gu is here, what are your orders this time?"

"I'm here to transfer the property deed." Gu Xiaoyou replied calmly.

"Okay, you three, please come with me." The yamen servant took the three of them to the last room.

He showed the three people their seats and poured tea: "Please wait a moment."

The stinking-faced government official left in a hurry, and Gu Xiaoyou took a sip of tea slowly. The landlord saw that the officials were so polite to her, and was secretly glad that he didn't raise the price to sell the house.

This time Mr. Chen came very quickly, greeted Gu Xiaoyou cheerfully, asked a few questions, and then happily handled the affairs for them.

"This is a new house deed. Doctor Gu, please fill in your name."

"Okay" Gu Xiaoyou stepped forward and took the pen: "Sister Zhou, let me fill in your name too."

Mrs. Zhou quickly stepped forward: "If you can't fill it in, just write your name."

"But you are also big..."

"No, otherwise I will go embroider to make money."

Gu Xiaoyou failed to convince Zhou, so she had to fill in her own name.

Master Chen stamped the official seal of Qingcheng County, and Gu Xiaoyou purchased another property.

Gu Xiaoyou put away the freshly released house deeds without any expression and politely said goodbye to Mr. Chen.

The three people left the Yamen, and Gu Xiaoyou and Zhou saw off the landlord with a normal expression.

As soon as the landlord left, Gu Xiaoyou suddenly changed into a happy expression: "Yeah, I have my own shop."

Gu Xiaoyou hugged Ms. Zhou excitedly: "Sister Zhou, I'm so happy."

Mrs. Zhou patted Gu Xiaoyou on the back: "Okay, I understand, let go of me quickly, we are still on the street."

Gu Xiaoyou followed the instructions and let go of Ms. Zhou: "Sister Zhou, let's go shopping. When you are happy, you should shop."

"Shaobing?" Zhou asked in confusion: "Xiaoyou, do you want to eat sesame cakes?"

Gu Xiaoyou held her forehead. When she was happy, she forgot that Sister Zhou was not a modern person.

“It’s not sesame cakes, it’s just shopping.”

Mrs. Zhou understood this this time and immediately showed a housekeeper's expression: "You are spending money randomly again..."

"I won't spend money indiscriminately. I promise I won't spend money indiscriminately. I just want to buy something. You see, I only have one hairpin and nothing on my wrist..."

Gu Xiaoyou shook her empty wrist and blinked her eyes a few times, her eyes full of innocence and pity.

Zhou's heart suddenly softened: "The girl's family really needs to have jewelry."

"So let's go shopping." Gu Xiaoyou quickly held Zhou's arm, fearing that she would change her mind.

Zhou was dragged by Gu Xiaoyou to the only pedestrian street in Qingcheng County.

There were various shops on both sides of the street. Gu Xiaoyou glanced around and was a little dazzled.

I didn’t expect that ancient shops are also very interesting.

Gu Xiaoyou saw a very grand shop and pointed: "Let's go to this shop and have a look."

Zhou nodded in agreement and walked into the store with Gu Xiaoyou.

The shop happened to be a jewelry store, and the clerk greeted him warmly: "Welcome, what do you two want?"

"Let's go shopping by ourselves first."

"Okay, I have something to ask you."

Gu Xiaoyou took Mrs. Zhou's arm and looked around at the jewelry store. She couldn't take her eyes away from the exquisitely crafted jewelry on the counter. Even Mrs. Zhou put away her resistance and was attracted by the jewelry.

Women are naturally fond of jewelry and clothes.

The two women stayed at the jewelry store for a long time. Zhou bought a hairpin for Gu Xiaoyou and nothing else for herself.

Gu Xiaoyou bought a few hairpins and bracelets, and also secretly bought a pair of earrings that Mr. Zhou had been looking at for a long time, planning to give them to her in the evening.
