The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 1916: Chapter 1916: Work Starts Tomorrow

Shu Yu didn’t expect such a coincidence. Since he was here, why not let him have a good chat with his father first?

Aunt He’s elder brother was quickly called over. He looked very shy and couldn’t relax in front of Shu Yu.

Aunt He felt helpless, but this was normal. She was mainly familiar with Shu Yu and knew her attitude towards people, so she was more casual.

She stood up, walked to her brother, and whispered a few words. He Da widened his eyes, ”Me, find me?”

”Yes, such a good opportunity, don’t waste it.”

He Da swallowed, becoming even more nervous. Lu Erbai simply got up, went to his side, and asked a few questions about the craft.

He Da didn’t know that Lu Erbai was Shu Yu’s father, probably thought they were in the same trade. He felt familiar and believed they were the same type of people. Moreover, when talking about the carpentry he was skilled in, He Da quickly set aside his discomfort, his expression became confident, and he began speaking eloquently.

Aunt He breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing them chatting well, she didn’t interrupt, only introduced He Da’s situation to Shu Yu.

Soon, Lu Erbai said, ”Yu, Worker He says there’s not much of an issue, but we still need to go and see on-site to decide how to renovate.”

The shop Shu Yu decided on, because it was at a corner and facing two streets, had two large open-front doors.

It looked spacious and transparent, but this also reduced the places to display goods, as only two sides could have counters, which wasn’t very cost-effective.

Shu Yu’s idea was to keep the eight-panel door facing the main street open and install wall panels on the six-panel door facing the small street, leaving only a three-panel door, creating more wall space for easier operation.

Of course, to retain the light, several large windows would need to be opened.

Lu Erbai had visited the shop and didn’t see any problem; it could be done. But he could only stay for up to ten days or half a month, so he could only oversee the initial stages. Later, it would depend on other craftsmen’s skills and opinions.

Earlier, he talked with He Da, who appeared to really have the skills and experience. For some small details that Lu Erbai mentioned, He Da understood immediately, so he thought this person was suitable.

Shu Yu understood and nodded. ”Okay, dad, let’s go to Fuyuan Street to look at the shop now.”

He Da had just spoken a lot and was drinking two sips of water when he heard Shu Yu call him dad, and he was shocked, spraying out a mouthful of water.

He looked in astonishment at Lu Erbai, who had spoken to him so professionally earlier, ”Brother Lu, ah, no, you, you’re the county magistrate’s dad?”

Lu Erbai touched his head, then rubbed his face, ”Do I not look like it?”

Is this a question of looking or not? Shouldn’t the county magistrate’s dad be staying in a big house being served by servants?

He Da was a bit dazed, and even after following Shu Yu out of the house, he still hadn’t quite come back to his senses.

They went to view the shop, and He Da slowly recovered. When discussing again with Lu Erbai, he appeared much more composed.

After a few people discussed, He Da nodded and said, ”We can start work tomorrow.”

The next day, He Da brought a disciple and a son over to help, with Lu Erbai also present. They all got busy right away.

With her dad, a professional, overseeing things for now, Shu Yu let go and didn’t involve herself.

She began drafting the contract, and by the 20th of the first month, they officially started recruiting workers.

The first recruitment was for the shopkeeper, held in the backyard of the shop. Shu Yu placed a table and a chair, allowing interested individuals to come in one by one.
