Chapter 5 Entering the mall for the first time
A few days later, Li Yuntong took her personal maid Caidie to the street to sell small things.
They walked to a stall selling jade pendants and bracelets. Li Yuntong took a fancy to a dark green jade bracelet. After buying it for money, she started to return home.
On the way home, Li Yuntong and Gu Changyu met unexpectedly.
"Miss Li." Gu Changyu sat in the carriage, looking out from the carriage window where the curtains of the carriage were lifted, and shouted loudly.
Li Yuntong looked in the direction where the familiar voice came, and saw a carriage passing by and stopped. Gu Changyu got off the carriage, walked to Li Yuntong, and smiled and said, "I was about to go home, but I happened to meet you."
"Have your arms been cured?" Li Yuntong looked at the place where Gu Changyu's arm was injured before and asked with concern.
"It's much better." Gu Changyu responded with a smile.
"Go home? Where is your home?" Li Yuntong asked curiously.
"My home is in the capital. If Miss Li comes to the capital, she can go to my house to sit there, and she is in the Gu Mansion on Pingli Street, Beijing." Gu Changyu introduced his mansion and said, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"You haven't even come to my house to sit down, you have passed by my house before." Li Yuntong smiled.
"I will definitely visit you if I have time. It's getting late, so it's time for me to continue on the road." Gu Changyu replied.
"Then you get in the car and set off, be careful on the way. Say goodbye, Mr. Gu." Li Yuntong said goodbye.
"Goodbye, Miss Li." Gu Changyu replied, and then Li Yuntong watched Gu Changyu turn and leave.
Then, Gu Changyu returned to the carriage and continued to set off for the journey. He disappeared from Li Yuntong's sight in a flash.
Li Yuntong looked at the Dust Smoke who was stepped out of the horse and thought, "I don't know when I will meet again after parting."
Li Yuntong came to her senses and said to Caidie: "It's time for us to go home too."
When Li Yuntong returned home, she saw Mr. Li frowned and worried. Li Yuntong asked with concern: "Dad, what's wrong? What's wrong?"
"Our cloth piles were transferred to the capital city, but the best cloth turned into waste cloth waste. Not only will it lose a lot of money, but I am afraid that this matter will spread, and there will be many people and different opinions, and the reputation of our store will be damaged." Mr. Li said worriedly.
"Dad, don't worry, this matter has to be discussed for a long time. I must find out the truth. We can't let the golden sign in our store be smashed by others." Li Yuntong volunteered.
"But you are a daughter's family, how can you manage these things?" Mr. Li opposed.
"You must believe that your daughter is no worse than a man." Li Yuntong's attitude was firm.
"Okay, from tomorrow, you will go to the store to get familiar with it." Mr. Li agreed to Li Yuntong.
The next day, Li Yuntong brought her personal maid Caidie to the Li family's shop.
"Miss, I am Chen Shuangliang, the second in charge of the store. When the master is not here, I will be responsible for everything here. You can ask me about all the big and small things in the store." Chen Shuangliang said to Li Yuntong with a smile.
"Uncle Chen, I'll ask you to give me some advice from now on." Li Yuntong said politely with a smile.
"Miss, I dare not take it if I have to worry. This is what I should do." Chen Shuangliang said respectfully.
"Have you carefully checked the fabric sent to the capital before?" Li Yuntong asked seriously.
"I have checked it myself, I can't make a mistake. I have confirmed that the carriage is full of good fabrics." Chen Shuangliang said confidently.
"That means that the bag was dropped during the transportation." Li Yuntong was surreptitious in her heart.
"I have to go in person when I transport the fabric to the capital next time." Li Yuntong made this decision.
"Uncle Chen, let me take a look at the account book." Li Yuntong ordered.
"Okay, Miss. I'll come here to bring it to you now, so you can sit down first." Chen Shuangliang said and left to get the account book.
Li Yuntong sat in her own store, looking at the smooth and exquisite fabrics with different colors and exquisite patterns arranged in the store, thinking that such a good fabric is no wonder that someone wants to have the idea of this fabric.
"Miss, I've brought the account book. Please check it out." Chen Shuangliang said, and handed over a thick account book to Li Yuntong.
Li Yuntong looked through the account book and said, "Uncle Chen, please go ahead and I'll take a look for it myself."
"Okay, Miss." Chen Shuangliang left after saying that.
Looking at the account book, Li Yuntong found that the Li family's business has indeed been much deserted these days. It seems that the transfer of the fabric sent to the capital before has had a significant impact on reputation. Li Yuntong sighed silently, thinking that it seems that it is not that simple to save the situation.
Through this thick account book, Li Yuntong found that tomorrow another batch of high-quality fabrics would be transported to the capital. There are many wealthy people in the capital, and there is a great demand for good fabrics. Li Yuntong decided to transport this batch of fabrics to the capital in person tomorrow, and no one would allow anyone to secretly exchange and steal the fabrics.
After Li Yuntong returned to Li's mansion, she confided her decision to Mr. Li.
"Yuntong, are you really going to the capital?" Mr. Li asked worriedly.
"Dad, I just want to see who can exchange this batch of goods so quietly under my nose." Li Yuntong said firmly.
"But how can you feel at ease from your daughter's house?" Mr. Li was worried and asked Li Yuntong to go on a long trip.
"Don't worry, I will be careful." Li Yuntong was determined.
"Okay, go, I can't persuade you with this kind of temperament." Mr. Li finally agreed helplessly.
