Chapter 158 Song Shiwei, Go to hell
Shopkeeper Li lowered his head, feeling uneasy. He didn't know which bastard had betrayed them.
At this moment, he felt as if he was being roasted over a fire.
Song Shiwei snorted, "You think that I, a woman, don't know how to do business, so you want to gang up on me and bully me.
But don’t you think about it? Since I dared to divorce my husband in front of the emperor and report my biological father to the government, how could I be a good person?
I know you don't want to lose this lucrative job, and even if you can't keep it, you want to take this opportunity to make more money.
But you'd better think carefully, is it worth losing your life for such greed?"
When Shopkeeper Li heard this, he was horrified and began to tremble uncontrollably.
Although Song Shiwei was chosen as the number one scholar by His Majesty, she divorced her husband in front of the emperor and sued her father to the Dali Temple.
However, no matter how much trouble she caused, it could not change the fact that she was a woman.
In their minds, women have never been able to achieve anything significant.
That is why they unscrupulously united and tried to take advantage of the change of ownership to seek personal gain.
However, they forgot that it was not so easy to fool a girl like Song Shiwei who went from being ignored to being the center of everyone's attention.
To do anything under her nose would be the stupidest decision they could ever make.
"My boss."
Shopkeeper Li kowtowed and begged for mercy: "I know I was wrong, please have mercy and spare my life."
If Song Shiwei reported the case to the authorities, he, the shopkeeper, would lose half his life if he didn't die. Not only that, he would also be branded as unfaithful.
How will he survive in the future?
Song Shiwei smiled and said, "I am tired today so I won't look at this account book.
Please ask Manager Li to notify all the managers of Song's Commercial Bank to come to discuss the matter with their account books in three days.
If there are any mistakes in this account book again by then, don't blame me for being ruthless.
I know that you were all promoted by Song Moting, and you have been working for many years, and you have families to support.
Song Moting committed murder and has now been beheaded. This has nothing to do with you.
I don't care what you did before, but now that I have taken over the company, I have only one request: do your job well and don't have any bad intentions.
If you do well, you will get all the benefits you deserve, but if someone cheats, they will bear the consequences themselves!"
Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Li hurriedly said, "I will convey the boss's words to all the shopkeepers without missing a single word."
"Okay, get busy."
Song Shiwei got up and left.
Shopkeeper Li hurriedly saw her out. Seeing Song Shiwei leaving in a carriage, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, then he breathed a sigh of relief.
……
On the carriage.
Song Shiwei was flipping through the account books of Song's Commercial Bank in previous years. Ever since Song Moting became the Earl of Cheng'en, he had been indulging in pleasure, and the business was getting worse year by year.
With the Xu family's huge wealth in his hands, less than 50% remained, and many shops were running at a loss.
If this continues, no matter how big the family fortune is, it will be lost.
Jingque poured Song Shiwei a cup of tea and asked, "Are we going to other shops?"
Song Shiwei said: "If we knock on every one of the dozens of shops, wouldn't we be exhausted?
Shopkeeper Li is the most trusted person around Song Moting. All the shopkeepers in the capital follow his lead, so it is enough to just punish him.
He will naturally convey the message, as for whether the other shopkeepers will listen or not, it depends on whether they know how to behave."
Jingque was still a little worried: "But there are account books for dozens of shops. Miss, do you want to read them all by yourself? How can you finish them all?"
Song Shiwei smiled and said, "Isn't there still Xiao Jingheng?"
Jingque: "..."
Well, her worries were unnecessary. Even if the young lady wanted to look at the account book alone, the prince would not agree.
Because now the account book is the prince's love rival.
Song Shiwei has been very busy recently taking over the Xu family's business and has indeed neglected Xiao Jingheng.
After thinking for a while, she told the driver to stop the car.
Jingque asked: "Where are you going, Miss?"
"Go buy Jamel Xiao a gift and coax him."
Song Shiwei got out of the car with a smile. Since she said she wanted to support Xiao Jingheng, she certainly couldn't just talk about it, so she came to the downtown area, strolling around and stopping along the way.
“Well, I’ve never seen Jamel Xiao holding a fan, buy him one.”
"This sword tassel is also good. Pick one for him."
"These pieces of fabric suit Xiao Jingheng very well, buy them!"
"The hairpin is also beautiful. I want it."
In a short while, Jingque had a mountain of things piled up in his hands, and these were just some small items.
All those large home furnishings were delivered to your door by the shopkeeper.
Jingque was a little envious of the prince. He was so generous in buying things and pampering people to the sky.
Song Shiwei fully experienced the joy of being rich. Seeing the peach blossom cakes that Xiao Jingheng loved to eat were being sold in front, she ran over to queue up.
"Oh, isn't this Miss Song?"
Someone in the crowd recognized Song Shiwei, and everyone looked over hurriedly. The people enthusiastically made way for her to buy first.
Song Shiwei thanked the people and accepted their kindness. She walked out of the crowd holding peach blossom pastry and saw a sloppy man walking towards her.
When he was only a few steps away from her, the man suddenly pulled out a dagger from his arms and stabbed at her, saying viciously: "Song Shiwei, go to hell."
Song Shiwei subconsciously took the peach blossom pastry in her hand to block it. She heard a tearing sound and the sharp blade cut through the oil paper. The steaming hot peach blossom pastry fell to the ground with residue and the fragrance was fragrant.
The man missed his target and became furious, and stabbed Song Shiwei with the dagger in his hand.
"Miss."
Jingque's face changed, she threw what she was holding on the ground and rushed over to save Song Shiwei.
At this moment, someone was one step faster than her and pulled Song Shiwei away.
With a loud bang, the murderer fell heavily.
Jingque quickly captured the man, then looked up at Song Shiwei and asked, "Miss, are you okay?"
Song Shiwei shook her head and saw that the person who saved her was actually Gu Yucheng.
The clothes on his arm were torn by the dagger and blood was flowing out.
She frowned and said, "You are hurt."
Gu Yucheng glanced at the wound on his arm and said calmly, "It's okay, just a superficial wound."
He stared at the murderer and asked, "Do you know him?"
Song Shiwei looked at the man, who was about twenty years old, with stubble on his chin and looked as sloppy as a beggar.
She shook her head and said, "I don't know him."
Gu Yucheng walked over and asked in a cold voice: "Who are you and why did you want to assassinate Miss Song?"
The man glared at Song Shiwei with resentment and said through gritted teeth: "She deserves to die!"
He shouted crazily, "It's you, it's you who hurt me.
You are a wicked woman who has lost all conscience, is disloyal and unfilial. You will be punished."
