Chapter 071 Hired the Wrong Person
Hyman was stunned for a moment, but she was not particularly surprised. She had suspected that it was the Lin family who stole her design drawings. Qi Wenhao of the Lin family recognized nothing strange. "Where have you seen him?"
"The man took a picture of me, and I remember it seemed to be in the third young master's shop..."
"Three young masters?" Haiman was surprised.
Qi Wenhao looked at her expression, "Should you tell me what's going on now?" Is there something wrong with that Meng Shu?
There is no need to hide this matter from him. Haiman told him about making clothes for Jiang Xiyue, finding that the design drawings were stolen, and finding that Meng Shu was the mole.
Qi Wenhao was very surprised after hearing this, "If I'm not mistaken, isn't it that the person who instructed Meng Shu to steal your drawings is very likely to be the third young master?"
Haiman didn't know what to say about this. She had preconceivedly believed that the person who stole her design was either Jiang Haihong or Zheng Ruxue, or Haixian. She never thought that it would be involved in Lin Baosheng. When she was in the Lin family, she only took a few photos with Lin Baosheng. She had no friendship or any relationship with Shen Qiaoqiao, but she was closer to Xiao Yaoer. If it was really Meng Shu instructed by Lin Baosheng, she really couldn't figure out the reason!
"Do you know Xiangyunbuzhuang?" She looked at Qi Wenhao and asked.
Qi Wenhao thought hard and shook his head, "No, what's wrong? Does it have anything to do with Buzhuang?"
"Well, the stolen patterns seem to have been sent to that Buzhuang, and the shopkeeper of that Buzhuang seems to be very mysterious and rarely goes to the shop. It's Yu. Do you have any impression?
"Surname Yu?" Qi Wenhao thought for a long time, but he knew the person surnamed Yu. That person had business with him and was in the tea business. It was useless to steal the design drawings. Moreover, he did not recognize Haiman, "Let me help you investigate this Xiangyun Buzhuang. If you want to take root in business here in the future, it is always unsteady to keep such a hidden danger.
Hyman also thought so, so, so he nodded, "Well, I'm sorry to trouble you. You are familiar with it and it's easier to investigate. I'll wait here to see if I can find out the person instructed!"
"Okay, but that Meng Shu can't be left!" Qi Wenhao's face was quite serious, "If he can go into the outside to steal things, no one can guarantee that he will break into your room against you!"
Hyman heard the hidden meaning of his words and couldn't help laughing, "Are you afraid that he will be lustful to me?"
Qi Wenhao blushed, "Just in case, anyway, such an dishonest person can't be kept!"
"Let's keep him first and wait until the person who instructed him is found!" Hyman laughed.
"Then be careful and close the doors and windows before going to bed at night. Let Yuexiang and Mei Xinger be more careful!" Qi Wenhao rarely said a few words from his mother-in-law before going out to investigate.
Haiman sighed, and it seemed that leaving the Lin family may not be completely separated!
"Miss, a man came outside and said he wanted to make clothes!" Mei Xinger ran in and said.
"Haven't you learned how to entertain guests?" As soon as Hyman wanted to say a few words to her, he saw that her expression was a little strange and couldn't help but be surprised, "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"
Mei Xinger grinned, "He wants to make a birthday dress for his father. I said we don't do that here, so he cursed and refused to leave in the shop..."
Hyman's eyes flashed, "Let's go and have a look!"
When I came to the front with Mei Xinger, I saw a man in filial piety sitting on the threshold, with his legs on the door frame, blocking the door tightly. There is such a plague god blocking the door, but some people dare not come in even if they want to make clothes. They are not afraid of anything else, and they are afraid of getting unlucky!
This man is ordinary-looking, with a pair of mouse eyes spinning around, looking like a complete villain. Although he is dressed in filial piety, there is no pain on his face. At a glance, he knows that he is here to find fault.
Yuexiang stood behind the counter, with an angry face and dared not say anything. Seeing Hyman coming out, she hurriedly said, "Miss, look at him..."
Hyman pressed on her shoulder and signaled that he would deal with it. Then he walked to the man and asked with a smile, "This guest, do you want to make a shroud dress, right?"
"That's right. I want to honor my dead father and make him some birthday clothes, but the people in your shop said they wouldn't do it. Are you doing business?" The man asked in a mean tone.
Hyman smiled and said, "This guest, you want to make a shroud, why don't you go to the shroud shop?"
"I think the Shouyi store is too far away, and I'm afraid I can't catch up with my father's burial. Aren't shroud also clothes? Isn't this shop just for making clothes? Why don't you do it for me?"
Hyman saw that it was useless for this kind of person to reason with him, so he smiled and said, "You're right. Shouyi is also clothes. There is nothing you can't do. Let me do it for you."
"Miss..." Yuexiang and Mei Xinger's eyes widened when they heard that she was going to take over the business. In their opinion, it was unlucky to make clothes for the dead. How could Haiman do it?
"It doesn't matter. It's rare for this guest to be so filial. Since we can do it, why not do it?" Hyman said and looked at the man, "Excuse me, what is the age of your father and the identity of the five elements?"
The man didn't seem to expect that Hyman would agree and was stunned, "Why are you asking this?"
"Of course, you need to know the situation of the person who wears the shroud to make a suitable shroud! The number, color pattern and fabric styles used by people of different identities are different. For example, if your father is a prince or noble, he needs 13 pieces. If he is a court member, he needs eleven pieces. If he is a civilian cloth, it should be less. The pattern can't be used indiscriminately. In case you accidentally use it wrongly, whether it's the person doing it or the person who uses it, you have to be guilty or even kill the head..."
The man's face changed when he heard this, "My father is an ordinary person. Just be ordinary..."
"Since you want to show filial piety, ordinary people still need a seven-piece set. Naturally, you need to use better silk cotton, so I'll calculate the total amount for you!" Hyman said and walked to the counter and touched the abacus for a long time. "For seven pieces, it costs a total of 150 taels of silver. For the sake of your filial piety, I will give you a quilt for free. According to the rules of this shop, you have to pay a 20% deposit first..."
"Why is it so expensive?" The man changed his face and said, "It's only a few taels of silver to make a set elsewhere. Why do you have hundreds of taels here?"
Hyman smiled and said, "This guest, you don't come to our shop to make clothes instead of a birthday shop. Don't you just want to make it more exquisite and express your filial piety to your father? If we do it well, it will naturally be more expensive. And I have given you a very favorable price. Isn't your filial piety worth 150 taels of silver?
"You... aren't you supling people?" The man stood up and stared at Hyman.
Haiman smiled and said, "Dear? This guest, if you want to make a shroud, we promise to do it for you. We are negotiating the price with you. You can do it if you want to do it. If you don't want to do it, you can leave. No one forces you. How can you call it a person? On the contrary, as soon as you enter the door, you are quite unreasonable and picky, but there is a little bit of mischief.
"I... what did I wrong with you? I just want to make clothes..."
"Then do it. Anyway, as long as we make money, we will take over any business!" Hyman looked at him with a smile, "Would you like me to draw a pattern for you first?"
The man seems to feel that he has been trapped by Hyman step by step. If he keeps his mouth hard, he really has to pay for it. How can he have so much spare money to make a shroud?
"You are just a black shop here. I'll find another shop to do it, hum!" He left a sentence angrily and turned around and went out.
Hyman asked Mei Xinger to call Chang Jiu, "Brother Chang, follow that person quietly to see what he is from? Don't let him find out!"
"I know, the shopkeeper!" Chang Jiu was conscious and went out to follow the man.
Yuexiang looked at Hyman's calm face, "Miss, that man is here to make trouble, isn't he?"
"Hmm!" Hyman is very depressed. The matter of stealing the design drawings has not been clarified, and another person came to make trouble. It seems that it is difficult to do business quietly! I don't know who instructed this man in filial piety? Changjiu will probably know one or two when he comes back!
"Mei Xinger, Yuexiang, be careful these days. If any suspicious people come to the shop, tell me immediately not to conflict with them, okay?" She told me.
Yuexiang and Mei Xinger nodded quickly, "Well, we know, miss!"
Haiman came back and drew a sketch. Changjiu came back, "Shopkeeper, I followed the boy half a street before I saw him go to Tianfu Tea House!"
"Tianfu Tea House?" Hyman couldn't help sneering. It turned out that it was Haixian. Last time she touched Jin Ming, she knew that she didn't have any good intentions. She didn't expect to use such a dirty means. However, she seems to have hired the wrong person and found an irresponsible person.
If this disturbance didn't work, I'm afraid I won't give up!
"Shopkeeper, do you have any other instructions?" Chang Jiu frowned and asked her silently.
Haiman smiled and said, "No, thank you for your hard work, Brother Chang. Go ahead! By the way, call Yuexiang by the way!"
"Okay, shopkeeper!" Chang Jiu withdrew, and soon Yuexiang came in. "Miss, what's the matter?"
"Yuexiang, let's go back to Hai's house tomorrow!" Although Haiman doesn't want to have any contact with Haiqiu, anyway, Master Hai is the only family member recognized by this body. He can't cut off contact with Master Hai and always visit him to show his filial piety.
When Yuexiang heard that she wanted to go back to Haijia, she immediately showed a reluctant expression, "Why do you want to go back to Haijia?"
"I didn't tell my father about opening a shop when I came out, so I always told him. Besides, I have something else to deal with!" Hyman's eyes were a little cold.
"All right!" Although Yuexiang was a little reluctant, she had to nod and agree when she heard Haiman's words.
