Chapter 181 Come and see if anyone needs help
"If she doesn't come out to see us, we will force her to come out to see us. She can't escape anyway!" Mrs. Cheng snorted coldly.
"How can we force her to come out and see us?" Cheng Jinxiu looked at her mother, curious about what good ideas her mother had.
Madam Cheng smiled and said, "Doesn't she own a shop? Then why don't we go to her shop and check the accounts! Once we get her shop under our control, she will come out to see us."
Cheng Jinxiu was puzzled and asked: "But, she definitely won't want to give the shop to us!"
"She has to give it to us even if she doesn't want to. As long as she is a daughter of the Cheng family, she must give it to us. Her private property is ours! How can a daughter keep her own finances?"
Mrs. Cheng said.
Cheng Jinxiu said, "Then let's go back and discuss it with our father!"
"Of course. Your father is the master of the family, so you have to listen to him," said Mrs. Cheng.
The mother and daughter hurried back home and told Master Cheng what had happened today.
After hearing this, Master Cheng Er also frowned and scolded Cheng Wenwen: "This fourth girl is really outrageous. She actually locked the elders out of the door. It seems that she has become bolder and wilder in these days of living outside. She even doesn't listen to us!"
Cheng Jinxiu continued, "Father, that's right, Cheng Wenwen actually dared to ask the servants to scare us, we have to teach her a lesson!"
"Since she is divorced, she is a daughter of our Cheng family. Her finances are naturally the family's finances. I will ask a few people to go to her store and take over the business. How can a little girl like her run a business? Let's help her manage it to prevent her from getting into trouble outside!"
Master Cheng II's words sound nice, but he just wants to seize Cheng Wenwen's property.
Afterwards, he instructed the housekeeper Chen, "Go ahead and take over her business!"
Butler Chen said with some embarrassment: "This...what if Miss Four doesn't agree?"
This is just empty talk, asking others to hand over the business to him and the money to him. How could others be willing to do that? There would definitely be disputes at that time. Butler Chen really didn't want to take this job. After all, Master Cheng was so stingy that he wouldn't give the money back to him even if he wanted it back!
But Master Cheng II said, "Just go if I tell you to! That's our Cheng family's property, how can we not control it? If they don't hand it over, then we'll just close the door and drive them away, and we'll just recruit new people!"
Butler Chen hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes!"
"Bring a few more people with you, so we can deal with any problems!"
"Yes!"
Butler Chen took people out immediately! They came to Cheng's dessert store and stopped.
Seeing that this store was doing so much business, I felt that the situation was a bit tricky. With so many people here and me coming here suddenly, it would definitely not look good if things got out of hand!
But if I fail to do it well, the master will definitely be angry.
Manager Chen thought about it and decided to go in and talk to them first. What if they were willing to hand over the business to him? That would avoid any trouble.
So Butler Chen told the few people he brought with him, "Wait for me outside first. I'll go in and talk first. I'll call you if I need anything later."
Several servants nodded and answered, "Yes, Steward Chen."
So, Butler Chen followed the long line and went to the store.
Someone in the line saw him walking towards the store, so they stopped him and said, "Hey! Why are you cutting in line? Wait for me! Can't you see we're all in line?"
"That's right! You want to cut in line? Do you have any shame? Go to the back!"
Although Cheng's has opened many branches and the business has been divided up a lot, there are still many old customers coming here, so the queues are rarely broken. It's just that it's not as exaggerated as before, but you still have to queue.
Butler Chen was stunned for a moment, then explained: "I'm not here to buy cakes! I'm here to talk to someone!"
"Stop lying! I think you just want to cut in line!"
"That's right! Go line up at the back! Don't disturb us!"
The man directly pulled Butler Chen to the back.
Butler Chen was confused and felt a little annoyed. Why did he have to queue up to discuss things?
There are at least twenty people in this team. I'm afraid they'll have to wait in line for a while, right?
Butler Chen looked inside the store. The man who had just grabbed him still warned him with his eyes. Butler Chen hesitated for a moment and went to the end of the line.
When the servants who had followed Butler Chen saw him waiting in line, they came over curiously and asked, "Butler Chen? What's going on? How did you get in line?"
"Let's keep a low profile for now!" Butler Chen felt a little scared.
He was just a housekeeper, usually taking care of the household chores, and he was not good at causing trouble! It was really difficult to assign such a task to himself.
Butler Chen was feeling annoyed, but he had to do his job, so he just stood in line. After waiting for two moments, it was finally his turn.
"Sir, what would you like to buy?" the clerk asked him politely.
"I'm not buying anything. I'm looking for your manager! Ask him to come out. I have something to talk to him about." Manager Chen said politely.
"Are you looking for our shopkeeper? She's not in the store right now. Why don't you go upstairs and wait?"
"Go upstairs and wait?" Manager Chen was still a little hesitant. Should he wait or just make trouble?
But before he could think it through, a shop assistant came out with a smile and led him into the store and then upstairs, and said politely: "Sir, please do what you want first. If you need anything, please let us know at any time. When my shopkeeper comes back, I will tell her to come see you as soon as possible!"
The clerk thought that Butler Chen came to discuss business, so he treated him well and gave him a cup of yogurt and a small piece of cake.
"Enjoy your meal, sir! Call me if you need anything!"
"Okay! Thank you!"
Butler Chen was a little flattered. Looking at the food in front of him and thinking about the clerk's attitude towards him just now, he really didn't want to cause any trouble!
After all, they treat me so well and it would be impolite of me to cause trouble!
Making trouble is a tricky job.
Butler Chen sighed and started to eat. He was going to have a hard time in a while anyway. He would definitely be scolded by the people in the store or by the second master. It would be better to eat well now and save up some energy for the scolding later.
Butler Chen enjoyed eating the dessert and couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder this store is so profitable, it turns out the food is so delicious!"
Butler Chen was enjoying himself, but a few servants who had followed him all the way were still waiting for him outside in the sun!
Miss Gao returned to the store an hour later. When she heard that someone wanted to discuss business with her, she immediately went upstairs and greeted Butler Chen.
"Hello, sir. Is there anything I can help you with?" Ms. Gao asked directly.
"Are you the manager of the store?" When Butler Chen saw how young Miss Gao was, looking like a young woman, he was actually shocked that she was in charge of so many stores.
"It's me!" Sister Gao nodded.
Butler Chen coughed, then introduced himself, "I am the butler of the Cheng family, my last name is Chen, and my master asked me to come..."
When Ms. Gao heard that they were members of the Cheng family, her expression immediately changed and she was no longer friendly.
Butler Chen also noticed this, and immediately changed his tone. He forced a smile and said, "My master asked me to come... come... to see if your store needs any help."
