Chapter 393 Very likely
Su Wenyue had been sending people to keep an eye on Chen Li's movements. Soon, what happened to Chen Li reached Su Wenyue's ears. A smile appeared on her lips. This Concubine Li had been smooth sailing in her previous life, so she was too confident and refused to believe in failure, which made her look so ugly.
In her previous life, Chen Li was indeed successful. Although it was a bit difficult at the beginning, she gradually turned losses into profits under Chen Li's painstaking management, and then gradually opened up the market, which showed that Chen Li was still capable. It was a pity that Su Wenyue took action this time, and Chen Li had no choice but to admit defeat.
Su Wenyue felt that maybe she was really a selfish person. She used what she knew in her previous life to calculate Chen Li, but she didn't feel guilty or embarrassed at all. Instead, she felt happy. Who made Chen Li covet her man? Moreover, Chen Li's existence was a threat to her family. The first to strike is the strongest, and the last to strike will suffer. She must not let Chen Li become strong and have the opportunity to compete with the Su family.
Su Wenyue's actions could not be hidden from Han Yu, and Su Wenyue had no intention of hiding them from Han Yu. Although Han Yu did not know why Su Wenyue was so afraid of Chen Li, this Chen Li was indeed a bit evil, and as long as his wife did not hurt him, Han Yu would not care about such things. The rest depended on his wife's happiness. When he learned that Su Wenyue wanted to suppress Chen Li's business, Han Yu even pushed behind the scenes.
And these days, Liu Xiu and Han Yuhe had vigorously rectified and eliminated many dangerous factors, and it was much more peaceful. Su Wenyue's shop was almost ready. The specific things were handed over to Fulu. Su Wenyue only drew the drawings, and gave some ideas and concepts, and the rest was a hands-off shopkeeper. Now that the shop was decorated, it was time to go and see it.
Now that the outside world was much more stable, Han Yu did not stop Su Wenyue from going out, but still gave her enough manpower, all of which were trustworthy soldiers trained by his men, but Su Wenyue did not want to make such a big move to attract attention, so these soldiers were dressed as servants.
"I know you don't like me controlling you, but I still have to make it clear. I won't stop you from going out, but there is one thing, you must bring enough people with you, and you are not allowed to go out alone, otherwise if I find out, there will be no next time. You can blame me for being domineering or angry at that time, but I will never let you go!" Han Yu knew his wife's temper, so he made his attitude clear and made a solemn statement.
Seeing Han Yu so serious, Su Wenyue knew that Han Yu was serious, so she nodded. Although she did think that Han Yu was making a fuss, it was obvious that the outside world had been cleared and the city was peaceful. Even if it was for safety, he could just take three or two people out, and there was also Qi Luo, who was not bad in martial arts, with him. Why make such a big scene and make a big fuss every time he went out? However, Su Wenyue thought about it, but she was smart enough not to say it out. After all, Han Yu agreed to let her do business, which was a step back, and she couldn't push it any further. Moreover, Su Wenyue could see that Han Yu was absolutely serious.
"I know, don't worry, I always bring someone with me when I go out."
Su Wenyue came to the shop, which was the most prosperous center of Yiyang Prefecture. Even in such a world, there were still people coming and going, and there was no sign of depression. It was enough to show that there were many rich people in Yiyang Prefecture. No matter what time, the most miserable were only the bosses.
Speaking of this shop, it was exchanged with Sikong Ling for the colorful exquisite lamp at that time. The upper and lower floors of the shop were in such a good location. Even the location of the Su family's shop was not as good as this. If it was bought at other times, I don't know what the price would be, and ordinary people couldn't buy it.
Thinking that the most precious things in the colorful exquisite lamp were taken away by her, and the risks brought by the colorful exquisite lamp were borne by Sikong Ling, and in exchange for such a good store, Su Wenyue still felt a little guilty.
Although Fulu was valued and respected by his master, he knew how to keep a distance and never did anything beyond his status. When he saw Su Wenyue coming, he respectfully welcomed her in.
"Madam, you are here. The shop has been decorated. Please take a look. Are you satisfied? There are still a few days before leaving Zhang. If you are not satisfied, I will change it." Fulu said this, and he was really afraid that there would be something that would not satisfy the master. Although he was very satisfied in his heart, it was just that the master's vision was high, which was not comparable to them. The reason why the shop was decorated so well was that he relied on the master's drawings and suggestions, and he discussed with the workers to improve some places.
"Not bad, very good, Uncle Fu, you are really great, no wonder my father often praises you, this shop is decorated more beautifully than I expected, and many shortcomings and deficiencies that I didn't notice have been supplemented. Su Wenyue nodded, and her satisfaction was beyond words. Fulu's efficiency and ability were really beyond words. If her father hadn't sent her such a helper, she would have spent a lot more time on decoration alone, not to mention other things.
"This is the duty of the servants, as long as the madam is satisfied. "Fulu was also happy to see Su Wenyue satisfied, but his habits and qualities over the years made him calm and composed, which made Su Wenyue even more satisfied.
Su Wenyue opened a department store, not an ordinary sundry shop. Most of the people who come in and out of ordinary sundry shops are ordinary people, while her department store is more inclined to the upper wealthy. No matter what time it is, there are always rich people, even in such a chaotic world. Su Wenyue's idea of the department store is based on Chen Li's store in her previous life, and there are many changes on it. Although they are all details, it is the rich who pay more attention to details. When they have money and live a good life, they will be particular. After all, Su Wenyue was born and raised here, and many of her ideas are more in line with the ideas of people of this era.
Su Wenyue had always been confused. Concubine Li was definitely very smart, otherwise she would not have reached that point. However, many of her ideas were irrational, and even violated the ethics and customs, which caused a lot of controversy and even became her fatal blow in the end.
After the rebirth, Su Wenyue thought more. Chen Li seemed to be different from the people of their dynasty. Perhaps she had the same adventure as her, otherwise how could a person suddenly change so much? Perhaps Chen Li was no longer the real Chen Li, but another person possessed Chen Li. She didn't believe that there were such bizarre things in the world before, but now she thinks it is very possible.
In terms of birth and status, Chen Li's life experience was too ordinary, and her family was better than ordinary people. Chen's father could do some small business and had some extra money. It was Xiaofu Ankang's family, not as good as the upper class but better than the lower class. However, there were many such families, so Su Wenyue asked Su Hengyi to check it out, so she didn't find it immediately.
