Chapter 387 The Runaway Princess is Forcibly Taken Away (36)
April of the thirty-sixth year of Xi Jia's reign.
Luo Qun, the second young lady of the Luo family, returns home. Her father, Luo Dan, is the second son of Luo Jingshan and his wife Bing Jun, and he is traveling abroad.
It is said that
After Miss Luo came of age, her father did not intend for her to return to her hometown, wanting her to live a carefree life elsewhere. However, news of Grandpa Luo's poor health reached them, and Miss Luo, being filial, rushed over to take care of her grandfather.
Her father sent someone to escort her back to her hometown, and also instructed his elderly father to arrange her marriage. Thus, Miss Luo Qun was to find a husband to inherit half of the Luo family's property.
The planned ghost marriage for the eldest daughter, Luo Jing, was not interrupted; this was the half that belonged to the eldest son.
Unexpectedly, the eldest son, Luo Gengdao, believed that without his daughter's guidance, his son-in-law was ultimately not a safe bet.
It would be better to entrust that half to the second niece and her husband.
At least, with blood ties and family ties, Luo Geng won't be kicked out of the house.
With tears in his eyes, Grandpa Luo agreed, merging his family business into one and entrusting it entirely to his granddaughter, Luo Qun, to manage.
He even declared: "We will never separate! We will find a new husband for our granddaughter!"
In the 36th year of Xi Jia's reign, in May.
The criteria for choosing a son-in-law have been revealed. They no longer strictly match birth dates and times; as long as the young and talented man's attributes do not clash, he is acceptable.
Those without parents and with good looks and character will be given priority.
Those who are good at business and willing to listen will be given priority.
June,
The winner, named Qi Xiao, was seventeen years old and came from a respectable family. He was also an excellent student.
During this time, Ms. Luo Qun personally debunked many rumors that were about her future husband.
Madam Bing, an old friend of Madam Luo, also recognized Miss Luo's character and status, and brought her female relatives from Qizhou to handle the engagement matters for Luo Qun.
July,
The engagement ceremony took place.
During the banquet, Qi Xiao was harassed by a local young man who had failed to be selected. Before Miss Luo and her guards could react, Qi Xiao directly knocked the man to the ground and responded with reason and evidence.
Both verbal and physical confrontations can lead to a win-win situation.
It is said that Qi Xiao also gained the complete trust of his father-in-law, Luo Dan, who then showed up to continue his travels.
The patriarch, Luo Jingshan, also approved of this prospective grandson-in-law and agreed to first assist his granddaughter in inheriting the family business. A year later, if the two got along well and achieved success...
They would then arrange a marriage, and Mr. Luo would retire and enjoy his old age.
August of the thirty-sixth year of Xi Jia's reign.
Before the stewards could react, the engaged couple sorted out all the accounts submitted by the other party.
Of these, 90% had problems. Among the young people, the remaining 50%—those with typical problems and no capacity for repentance—were eliminated. This triggered severe turmoil in the entire region's business sector.
It makes people laugh at you, saying that being young means you're clueless, and that every subordinate you have is greedy and tries to skim off the top. What will you live on if you're all taken advantage of? Talent and connections aren't so easy to cultivate.
September,
The dismissed manager was recruited and taken over by the rival company.
They leaked the Luo family's original business secrets, making their exclusive core methods known to everyone.
Suddenly, all Luo family products lost their competitiveness. They were imitated, sold off at low prices, and subjected to malicious competition.
October,
The new batch of managers trained by the Luo family has been put in place.
The leader was a young man named Bo Yu, and there was even a twelve-year-old steward surnamed Zhu.
There were also female stewards, and a group of experienced and shrewd stewards from the capital, led by a man surnamed Luo.
November,
The second young lady of the Luo family is preparing to publicly reveal her little tricks for auditing accounts. Those who are friendly will be given priority, and those who pay a higher price can be taught.
Everyone who has used it says it's great.
One person tells ten.
From ten to one hundred.
An insider revealed that it wasn't a case of digging their own grave at all.
Those investigated are truly hidden corrupt elements; this is beneficial for long-term development.
Once the pool of active buyers was saturated, the secret weapon was leaked. An adversary offered a hefty sum to buy it from the neutral party, and immediately after payment, Ms. Luo posted the method in her shop.
The money was wasted.
But the accounts still need to be checked, and internal audits have been launched in shops across Jiangnan.
Even the guild officials have a lot of bad habits, and they were even reported by someone from within their own ranks.
The chaos of dogs fighting each other has everyone on edge.
December,
Amidst the turbulent situation, the Luo family launched upgraded new products across its various industrial chains.
It's solid, easy to use, and quite affordable.
Once again, it became a market trendsetter, gaining both fame and fortune, and its fame spread by word of mouth.
at last,
The rivals were horrified! They had just had an internal conflict, and no one was there to fill the vacancies, so they ended up taking on a bunch of useless scavengers.
This time, the product can only imitate the appearance, but cannot learn the true essence.
The following year, in January.
News came from the capital that merchants were opening their doors wide to new opportunities. The Luo family's business partners increased, gradually expanding in all directions.
They also don't keep anything to themselves.
As long as we cooperate sincerely, there will always be new ideas.
February of the thirty-seventh year of Xi Jia's reign.
The Luo family's wealth quadrupled ahead of schedule, and the old man announced his early retirement during the New Year holidays to make way for his granddaughter and grandson-in-law.
They even drew up a written agreement and a seal.
The document was then submitted to the government.
So far,
The head of the Luo family has been completely replaced.
March,
Miss Luo Qun and Qi Xiao began leading their people to various surrounding towns to discuss business.
The fact that Zhongjiang City was handed over to a manager once again astonished the locals with their level of trust.
Is it because they have a strong foundation?
Or is Bo Yu truly that capable? At the dinner table, Bo Yu personally clarified, "Don't worry, without our young lady, nothing can stand up. The real core key resides in her mind; no one can steal that!"
Most people wouldn't believe this.
However, all their attempts at infiltration, theft, and bribery failed.
It seems there really isn't a complete recipe; each step is completely independent. How did they manage that? Are they truly geniuses?
Even Luo Jingshan, unable to understand it, began to let go, flicking his hand smoothly.
He started playing with his son.
The two often went out to enjoy the scenery and go fishing, rediscovering their true nature.
At first, he helped his granddaughter check the accounts, but then he completely gave up.
Luo Qun wanted to report on the progress, but the other party had to pretend to be sick to avoid it.
Therefore,
Luo Geng's laziness actually has some inherited elements.
However, in the past, Luo Jingshan had to keep them hanging on.
His resentment also prevented him from relaxing even slightly.
April,
He secretly returned to the capital and smuggled Jing Yi out to work.
Qi Xiao reported back to Chunyu Huai and continued to receive support.
As for how the talks were conducted and whether there were any secrets kept, we do not know.
When they went to Jiangnan again, Jing Siqi followed along, ignoring his father Qi Gui's expectation that he would inherit his medical skills.
Oh open!
I accidentally shared the same surname as Qi Xiao.
If we said we weren't brothers, people would probably doubt it.
Jing Er and Jing San stayed in the capital, pursuing their hobbies under Manager Luo's guidance. Miss Zhi was doing business in Jiangnan; although unaware of the inside story, they both chose to continue working at the shops in the capital.
Luo made the best use of everything, and after teaching, he packed up the students and sent them to other places.
It has become a link in a huge industrial chain.
Theoretically speaking, he has no further connection with Xia Youmi and has completely extricated himself from the situation.
On the ship, Jing Yi and Jing Si became sworn brothers, and Jing Yi changed his name to Qi Zhang.
The two gradually became acquainted with Chunyu Xi, and their relationship was more one of respect than intimacy.
Xiao Wu, Xiao Liu, and Xiao Qi each changed their names to Qi Wu Lu Qi.
We must never leave this large Qi family.
The only one with a different surname, Luo Qun, was dissatisfied, so Luo was added before the names of Nianzhu and Nianzhen.
Their identities changed from maids in the Xia family to sworn sisters of Miss Luo, and after arriving in Jiangnan, they were officially recognized by Luo Jingshan.
So far,
They all received legitimate identities.
They won't be easily killed.
