Chapter 69
Su Chengrui couldn't help but feel a little funny when he heard the words, pulled him to sit on his lap, wrapped his thin body in his arms and said with a low smile, "Do you believe the words of the servants who gossip? I haven't seen you on weekdays." Do you believe me so?"

"Hmph! I have eyes to see! You're just mad at me for bullying him!"

The appearance of the man with puffed cheeks made Su Chengrui couldn't help pecking him lightly on the face. Seeing him staring at him with shame and anger, there was a pleasant chuckle from the corner of his lips, and the gloom between his brows dissipated immediately .

"Fool, I'm not bullying him out of arrogance."

Su Chengrui carefully held his medicined hand, "I'm mad at you, I love you so much, but you don't know how to cherish yourself."

Ah Qing was startled when he heard this.

The two were very close, and from his angle, he could clearly look into the woman's eyes, making no secret of his distress and love.

He couldn't help but startled.

Surprised why the same pair of eyes can be as cold as thin ice when they are indifferent, but after the ice and snow melt, they are like a sea of ​​tenderness.

Su Chengrui gently kissed the delicate fingertips, "Next time, just ask me if you have anything."

Ah Qing managed to recover from the shock, and looked at her in a daze, "Then what if he agreed to you back then? Did you already accept him as your side husband?"

Su Chengrui paused and looked up at him, "What didn't happen is destined not to happen. Didn't I already make a choice?"

Ah Qing looked sad when she heard the words, and suddenly put her arms around her neck, buried her face in her neck and said in a muffled voice, "Who said that! You have already made your choice before..."

"Ok?"

Su Chengrui didn't understand why, which meant that he had misheard, and asked aloud, "What?"

Ah Qing didn't make any more sound.

Early in the morning the next day.

Uncle Zhong came to the East Lake Courtyard and said that it was the order of the Patriarch Feng to assist her to formally take over the two shops in Chaoyang from today onwards.

Su Chengrui responded and went to the study first.

When he came to the desk, he didn't see the drawings he drew that day, so he asked Mu Yu to ask.

"Oh, miss, I saw that the ink was dry, so you put it in the cabinet first."

As Mu Yu spoke, she took out an envelope from the cabinet and handed it over. She knew that it was the pattern that the lady was going to send to Shopkeeper Li.

Su Chengrui took out the folded drawing in the envelope and checked it. After confirming that there was no difference, he put it back in the envelope again, "Next time, don't touch my drawing without my permission, you understand?"

Mu Yu quickly responded, "I know, little one."

"Okay, you send this painting to shopkeeper Li, she will know what to do after seeing it."

"Yes." Mu Yu took the envelope and returned it.

Su Chengrui followed Uncle Zhong to the shop on Chaoyang Street.

Xu Shi heard the news that their young master was coming to take over. The shopkeeper and the assistants had been waiting at the door early, and when they saw the carriage stopped, they immediately came up to greet Uncle Zhong graciously.

After seeing Su Chengrui coming out of the carriage, the smiles of the two froze on their faces. Until Su Chengrui jumped out of the carriage, the shopkeeper still looked into the carriage without giving up.

"Why are you in a daze!" Uncle Zhong patted her on the head, "Why don't you salute our young master?"

"Short... young master?"

The two let out a low voice at the same time, suppressing their surprise and quickly knelt on the ground.

Su Chengrui raised his hand to signal them to get up, seeing the resentful expressions on their faces, he couldn't help but feel a sneer.

It was Uncle Zhong reminding again that the shopkeeper woke up like a dream, and hurriedly greeted a group of people into the shop.Uncle Zhong frowned and shook his head, and said to Su Chengrui, "This old Liu has been a shopkeeper for more than ten years anyway, and I don't know what happened today, he looks like a newborn stunned young man."

Su Chengrui raised his eyebrows and remained silent.

Sweeping his immediate boss out of the house, who can replace him without panic?

The store has a brand new look, every place is cleaned very clean, and the clerk is still arranging the ornaments on the shelves attentively, which is completely different from the last time I saw it.

Uncle Dong nodded in satisfaction, "Although the business here on Chaoyang Street is not good, shopkeeper Liu and her staff are not idle, and they have been taking good care of the shop."

Su Chengrui nodded. If she and Mu Yu hadn't met before, she might have believed Uncle Dong's words.

Shopkeeper Liu listened to Uncle Dong's words of praise, and subconsciously raised his head to look at Su Chengrui next to him. Seeing the half-smile look on the woman's face, he felt guilty for a while.He didn't dare to respond, so he could only smile awkwardly, and took out a handkerchief to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

She took the two of them to look around the shop, and seeing that Su Chengrui didn't remind him of what happened that day, she felt a little relieved, and hurriedly greeted them and went to rest in the backyard room.

Shopkeeper Liu asked the staff to make good Yuxin tea, and asked them to bring over the food they had prepared in advance.

Su Chengrui sat cross-legged on the small couch with a folding fan, looked at the snacks and melons and fruits on the table, raised his eyebrows, "The seven-color follo cake from Yuxiang Pavilion, the newly produced fruit in Yuanzhou, the flowers Not to mention money, it’s not easy to just buy it!”

Shopkeeper Liu smiled and bowed, "As long as the young master eats happily, what's the problem for us servants to make two extra trips?"

Uncle Zhong frowned slightly, but he couldn't say anything out loud.

It is said that the seven-color Buddha cake is a special cake dedicated to worshiping the Buddha on the day of worshiping the Buddha at Wuxiang Temple in Kyoto. It is made of seven different medicinal materials, flowers and fruits.

Many princes, nobles and rich families have people who worship and believe in Buddhism, even the Su Li family.The original owner, Su Mu, doesn't like sweets, but only loves to taste the seven-color follo cake.

Su Chengrui reached out and picked up a piece, brought it to his mouth and bit a small piece, then frowned.

Different from the pastry, it tastes sour and astringent at the first bite, but after the bitterness fades away, there is a trace of sweetness left between the lips and teeth.

Although the taste is peculiar, it's just that Ah Qing would not like to eat this.

Su Chengrui put down the pastry, picked up the teacup and rinsed his mouth, then raised his head and said slowly, "Not bad."

Shopkeeper Liu frowned, joy had not come to his mind in the future, but she heard her say again, "If shopkeeper Liu's thoughts can be used in managing the shop, our shop's business will already be booming now!"

Shopkeeper Liu's complexion changed suddenly when he heard the words, and he forced the corners of his mouth to smile and said, "Where is this young master's house? The small one is also working hard to take care of this shop, but you know the situation on Chaoyang Street now. It's really not a small one. Willing to take care of it!"

"Okay, let's stop talking about these useless words."

Uncle Zhong couldn't stand it anymore, "Old Liu, go and get the account book from the shop and show it to the young master."

"Alas, yes."

Shopkeeper Liu quickly responded and asked someone to pick it up.

Not long after, the clerk entered the room with a stack of account books and placed it in front of Su Chengrui.

Su Chengrui put down his teacup, picked up a book and glanced at it casually, while Uncle Zhong was afraid that she would not understand these complicated accounts, and was about to go up to explain to her, when she suddenly threw the account book in his hand on the ground !
Su Chengrui looked at the person in front of him coldly, "Next time you use this kind of useless fake account to perfuse me, and you don't have to sit in this shopkeeper's position anymore!"

Shopkeeper Liu's complexion suddenly turned pale.

"Fake account?" Uncle Dong was taken aback for a moment, and quickly stepped forward to pick up another account book and looked at it. The more he looked at it, the more he frowned, and he raised his head again, with a bit of anger in his eyes, and asked shopkeeper Liu, " What's going on here? Tell me!"

Shopkeeper Liu and his staff were so frightened that they quickly knelt on the ground, "Young Master, please forgive me. I didn't intend to deceive you. It's just that the shop has been struggling to make ends meet these past few years. This..."

Su Chengrui said lightly, "I've already read the accounts in the store. Although the store has no business, it's not likely to have such a big loss. It's relying on the Su family. If it were someone else, the store might be in trouble. Closed early!"

After she was kicked out that day, she asked Mu Yu to go privately and steal the account books from the shop to check.

The account in front of me is a fake account tampered with by Shopkeeper Liu and the others in advance. As long as you use it to compare the money spent in the past two years with the accountant of the Su family, you will soon find out that something is wrong.

When shopkeeper Liu heard her saying that he was losing money, his heart skipped a beat.

"Three days!" Su Chengrui raised his finger, "I'll give you three days to make me a proposal on the status quo of the store's operation and rectification."

"Proposal for rectification?" Shopkeeper Liu was a little dumbfounded.

Even Uncle Zhong beside him couldn't help wondering about this new word that he had never heard before.

"Is there a problem?"

"Young master, this, this is not very good."

"I gave you three days. If after three days, what I see is not the improvement of the store, then Shopkeeper Liu will just wait to pack up and leave!"

Shopkeeper Liu had a bitter face and a look of despondency.

I originally thought that the young master who came here was an idle dandy, so I just fooled around thinking about serving delicious food and drinks.

I didn't expect that the young master would investigate the situation in advance and ask her to make some corrections...
