Chapter 251 No confidence
Chapter 251 No confidence
Master Wen could be said to be the best candidate for the position of manager of Wanjuanshu, but the girl did not choose Master Wen. Instead, she gave the job to him. This shows how much trust she had in him to do that.
Yuan Qizhi took a deep breath, stood up and said in a sonorous voice: "Don't worry, young lady. I know the importance of this matter and will not let you down."
Lin Chuyi was not impressed by this kind of assurance. Her tone remained calm. "It's useless to just talk. I want to see the results. You can think about it carefully while you still have time. I will have someone send 5,000 taels of silver notes and the shop's property deeds. Once you get them, you can start decorating the shop. I will come over in person to inspect the results in a month."
"Yes."
Lin Chuyi looked at Yuan Qizhi who was listening attentively, and suddenly changed the subject and said with a smile: "I have been talking for so long that I almost forgot to mention the most important thing."
Yuan Qizhi immediately became more serious: "Young lady, please speak."
Lin Chuyi waved his hand at Yuan Qizi and said, "Don't be nervous. I want to talk about your treatment. I will never mistreat people who work hard for me, and you are no exception."
"In addition to the things I just mentioned, the things that were delivered later also included a property deed, which is the mission reward that was advanced to you. In addition, there is also a profit-making contract. After signing it, you will own 10% of Wanjuanshu's shares and become the true owner of Wanjuanshu."
Yuan Qizi swallowed his saliva. Even though he knew that the girl would not treat him unfairly after entrusting him with such an important task, the treatment of giving him a share of the profits and a house was a bit too good for him.
Any effort requires a reward. How much should he pay to deserve such treatment? He is not afraid of the hard work, but he is afraid that his efforts will not meet the girl's expectations of him.
Yuan Qizhi said carefully: "Miss, I am not being modest. I am aware of my own abilities. In addition, I have no experience in managing a store. I don't think I deserve such a good treatment from you."
Lin Chu saw that Yuan Qizhi was sweating and knew that he was under a lot of pressure. She thought for a moment and said, "If you feel that you are not capable enough, then work hard to improve yourself and make yourself worthy of such treatment instead of saying these discouraging words here."
Yuan Qizhi lowered his head in shame. Seeing him like this, Lin Chuyi sighed and continued, "Let me tell you the truth. I have high expectations for Wan Juan Shu. My goal is not just Lanzhou City. I also want to open Wan Juan Shu in Qingzhou City, Liuzhou City, and even all over the country. If you keep holding this mentality, I really don't feel at ease handing Wan Juan Shu to you."
Yuan Qizhi looked up at Lin Chuyi in disbelief. Lin Chuyi smiled at him and said, "Why? Do you think my idea of distributing thousands of books all over the country is a fantasy?"
"No...no..." Yuan Qizi shook his head again and again, trying to explain at a loss, but his mind was a little confused at the moment, and his language organization ability was a little disordered, so that the words he said became a little stuttering.
"Don't worry about explaining. It's normal for you to think this way, because up to now, Wanjuanshu is just an idea of mine, but I dare to think that I can open Wanjuanshu all over the country in the future. Why? Because I have confidence in myself and my plan."
"And what about you? You feel that you have no experience, and lack the ability, and you are not worthy of the treatment I give you. But everyone has a first time. If I don't give you the opportunity to practice, you will never have the experience and ability to match it."
"It's not just about the ten thousand books, it's the same with other tasks. Even if I don't give you this task and ask you to do other tasks, will you still use your lack of experience and ability as an excuse to shirk your responsibility?"
"No, I just don't want such good treatment and feel that I don't deserve it. I don't mean to not do the mission." Yuan Qizi explained hurriedly.
Lin Chuyi seemed to see through him and pointed out his true thoughts: "You will take the task, but you don't have the confidence that you can do it well, right?"
"...Yes." Yuan Qizi's thoughts were exposed by Lin Chuyi. He was silent for a long time before giving his answer.
"Let me think about why. You were not like this the last time I saw you. That must be the impact of the task I gave you last time. What is the specific reason?"
"Although this yard is not small, it has a lot of people. I just took a quick look and found that there are only old people and children of a few years old in the yard, not a single young man. It is easier to get information from young people, so your team cannot be without young people. I guess you sent those who have spare energy to get information."
"From what you just said to those people, it's not hard to tell that your management method here is borrowed from the management method in Qingzhou. You let those people exchange their labor for food. Not only them, but also when you send people out to gather information, you have to pay corresponding rewards. The reward is either food or copper coins."
"I also saw several stoves in the yard, with earthenware pots used to boil medicine. The cost of seeing a doctor and taking medicine is really not low. It has been several months since I gave you this task. You should not have much money left now, right?"
Yuan Qizhi smiled bitterly and his shoulders slumped. "Miss, you have a keen eye. The fact is indeed as you said. I have been thinking about how to increase the source of revenue every day these days, but I have not found a way. That is why I realized that I thought this task was too simple from the beginning, and my ability is not as good as I originally expected. As a result, things have come to this predicament. I am ashamed."
As Yuan Qizi spoke, he bent down towards Lin Chuyi, his face flushed and his eyes full of shame.
Lin Chuyi did not stop Yuan Qizhi's behavior. He waited for him to finish speaking before he slowly spoke: "No one is perfect. If you can realize your own shortcomings in your mistakes, you have already succeeded halfway. What you need to do next is to correct the mistakes, instead of completely denying yourself because of a mistake."
"I know you must be under a lot of pressure to have so many books handed over to you, but this is your chance to prove yourself. Don't be afraid of failure. It's a long process to build a store from scratch and then to become prosperous. There will be many traps and snares in this process, and it is almost inevitable to fall into them."
